Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

"Bastard!"

The tea cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the servants in the room knelt down, not daring to breathe.

"What a beautiful aunt!" Granny Yuan raised her chin, her eyes cold.

Bai Ji also lowered his face and whispered, "I can't believe that Aunt Hua can still be a monster even though she's dead!"

Ye Ming's voice was hoarse, and his tone was a little anxious, "Bai Ji reminded me... Aunt Hua is gone, and they have no evidence to prove it, so we can just deny it to death!"

Su Zi lowered her face and said softly, "Aunt Hua is dead, but the Crown Prince's private seal on the paper cannot be faked."

Granny Yuan's face was gloomy, her eyes were full of solemnity, "You are just an old bustard who is used to doing flesh and blood business, how can you turn things upside down?"

"Boss, wife, this matter..." Granny Yuan narrowed her eyes, looked down at Liu Fanyin, and whispered, "What do you think we should do?"

Liu Fanyin's face turned a little pale, and she thought for a moment, "I..."

"Su Zi stood up for you, so she was beaten and betrayed. If you are really grateful, you should think of something for her."

Grandma Yuan's words reached Liu Fanyin's heart.

"Old lady..." Liu Fanyin bit her lower lip and said boldly, "No matter who the master behind Ji Xiangyuan is, I will not let them catch Su Zi. You are right, Su Zi is To protect me, I ended up in this situation..."

Seeing that she was thinking about it, Granny Yuan's eyes flashed with relief, and she whispered, "I'll leave this matter to you and my second wife."

"what?"

Song Huixin, who had been sitting next to him, suddenly raised his head, with a look of surprise on his face, "Old lady, do you still have my business here?"

"Otherwise?" Granny Yuan looked at her and said slowly, "Xie Li is the Crown Prince, and you are the Crown Prince's wife. One day, this mansion will be handed over to you, and everything in the mansion should be handled by you. Take care of it."

"With me sitting behind you, you two just go ahead and do it." Granny Yuan turned cold and pretended to be stern, "Let me see what you two are capable of."

Liu Fanyin lowered his head slightly and responded in a low voice, "Yes."

"I don't even have time to practice sword practice..." Song Huixin pouted and murmured in a low voice. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the old lady looking over here. Her expression immediately changed and she said with a sweet smile, "Yes, I know. !”

"Old lady...old lady..."

The boy ran in from outside, looking flustered, "Something happened outside!"

"Why is it worth making such a fuss about?" Granny Yuan glanced at him with an unhappy look on her face, "Tell me in detail."

"Mama Liu from Jixiangyuan in Dongcheng filed a lawsuit against our Houfu, saying that the Houfu used his power to oppress good people. The government has received the petition and is summoning us to come over!"

Su Zi's pupils shrank, and the hand on her side slowly tightened, her clothes were tangled up in her hands, "How could it be... didn't she say she wanted to wait for my birthday..."

Grandma Yuan lowered her eyes, stared at the two people sitting beside her, and whispered, "What are you two still talking about?"

Liu Fanyin's usually gentle face showed anger for the first time. He stood up without hesitation, looked at the young man who had just entered the room, and whispered, "Lead the way."

Song Huixin also stood up and glanced at Bi Luo aside. The latter understood and trotted out of the front hall while no one was paying attention to her.

When the Marquis's carriage arrived at the palace, many people had gathered around the door, staring excitedly at the woman inside.

Mother Liu knelt on the ground, with a round figure, holding a square handkerchief and crying non-stop, "Please Lord Qingtian to make the decision!" "Master Magistrate, the people from the Yongcheng Houfu have arrived."

The yamen servant led several people into the hall. Mother Liu did not dare to raise her head, but just buried her head and sobbed.

Seeing both parties arriving, the crowd was stunned and the whole place was silent. Even the people watching the show outside did not dare to whisper anymore.

"Ms. Liu." The magistrate stared at the woman in front of him, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Your complaint accusing the Yongcheng Marquis of betraying his trust and swallowing your money is true?"

"Of course it's true!" Mother Liu knelt on the ground, the makeup on her face had already been stained by crying, "The Yongcheng Marquis sold their maids, and the common people gave them money. They took the money but refused to acknowledge it. They took advantage of the fact that they were among the rich and powerful. The family has no laws and oppresses good people, please make the decision for the common people!"

Hearing this, Song Huixin sneered, crossed his arms, and his eyes were full of evil, "Did I give you too much face? What kind of good citizen are you!"

The magistrate coughed twice, glanced at Song Huixin, and reminded in a low voice, "No making noise in the courtroom."

Song Huixin wanted to say something more, but Liu Fanyin held him by the corner of his sleeve.

Song Huixin twitched the corner of his mouth, but finally said nothing.

The magistrate narrowed his eyes, his gaze fell on Liu's mother on the left, and said solemnly, "Ms. Liu, empty words are not enough to convict the magistrate. Do you have any other evidence?"

"Sir, the common people have physical evidence!" Mother Liu took out the letter from her arms and presented it.

Su Zi's face turned a little pale when he saw the familiar letter paper.

"Sir, this is written by the Master of the Hou Mansion himself. He sold the maid next to Madam Hou to me for 50 taels. There is also the seal of the Prince of the Hou Mansion on it!"

Mother Liu held her head high and looked proud, as if she had already won the lawsuit.

Hearing what Liu's mother said, the crowd outside also exploded.

"No way...the person who was sold was actually the maid next to Madam Hou!"

"The eldest maid is already considered a confidant. Can she sell this?"

"The little maids in Yongcheng Houfu are all polite and smile when they meet everyone. How could they deal with such a master?"

The magistrate stared at the letter in front of him, his face darkened a little, and his tone showed no emotion or anger, "Yongcheng Houfu, written in black and white on the paper, with the prince's private seal, do you have anything else to say?"

"Reporting to your lord, we cannot just listen to what this old bustard says about this matter." Liu Fanyin frowned slightly, her face a little irritated, "The person who signed the contract with her was the aunt in the mansion. She has passed away long ago. We did not sign the contract. , we didn’t get the money.”

"Now that my father-in-law has died in the battle, the family is indeed not as good as before, but it has not been reduced to the point where we have to make a living by selling housekeepers!"

The magistrate's face paused slightly, staring at the letter in front of him without making a sound.

Seeing his hesitation, Mother Liu was shocked and immediately knelt forward and said, "Your Excellency, you are aware of this! The Yongcheng Marquis is indeed treacherous. These powerful people have never cared about us common people. Our hard-earned hard-earned money is in their hands." It’s just a meal in my eyes.”

"50 taels of silver...I haven't lost a penny!" Liu's mother cried loudly, as if her husband had died. "How can you turn your back and deny anyone after receiving the money? I will be exhausted with that money. It’s a lot of work for several years!”

Mother Liu is indeed an old cunning person who hangs out in Fireworks and Willow Lane, and she is quite good at speaking.

She raised the issue to the difference between the rich and the poor, and criticized Yongcheng Houfu's evil intentions from a high moral point.

The common people have been oppressed by life and taxes for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will have a hatred of the rich. It is easy for her to incite their emotions and turn against them collectively. (End of chapter)
