Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 253 Dare not swear
Zheng Youlian's eyes were red: "Although Madam Gaoming is extremely noble, she cannot open her eyes and tell lies. When did my sister-in-law say such disrespectful words! And everyone has obviously seen it. It was Madam who pushed my sister out of anger."

"Zhichun, Zhang Zui." Tang Bingxuan said coldly.

"Yes!" Zheng Youlian had already been slapped twice hard before he could respond, "so that Concubine Zheng knows how can a concubine offend the madam with words!"

Zheng Youlian's face quickly became red and swollen, and Tang Bingxuan was secretly happy, "Zhichun, well done!"

Tang Bingxuan looked around. Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear clearly: "Excuse me, did anyone here just see my wife's hand touching Miss Zheng San? Instead, I just saw Miss Zheng San suddenly falling into the river. inside?"

The ladies looked at each other in confusion, and no one answered. After all, who would want to offend the first-grade lady for someone who has nothing to do with her? Xu Fanshu sneered: "Don't let Miss Zheng San dance by herself, so as to frame Madam!"

The eldest princess asked Tang Bingxuan: "Mrs. Gaoming, what do you have to say?"

Tang Bingxuan said sternly: "God is watching what you do. I have a clear conscience. I will never admit what I haven't done, and I will never deny what I have done!"

Sister Zheng Youlian's face turned blue. Suddenly a maid came in. Seeing this scene, she said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, the Fifth Marquis asked the slave to bring a message to Mrs. Gaoming." The eldest princess nodded and told her to speak directly. The maid said: "Madam, the Fifth Marquis heard about what happened in the courtyard and ordered the servants to come in and announce: Concubine Zheng is the concubine of the palace. If there is anything wrong, Madam, just deal with it without any worries! As for Miss Zheng San, please You know, if you can’t get along with Madam, you can’t get along with him.”

After saying this, everyone's eyes changed instantly, and they were both envious and jealous. The eldest princess was wondering. Mrs. Zheng had not seen such protection from the Marquis before. What was Tang Bingxuan's background?
Tang Bingxuan secretly praised Jiang Shunian and said: "Since Lord Marquis has spoken, it is impossible not to deal with it. Concubine Zheng openly teamed up with her sister to frame me. Madam, I remember that Concubine Zheng was beaten twenty times with a cane not long ago, right?" "Ignoring Zheng Youlian's face that turned red and blue, he said: "It seems that the rod is not effective on Concubine Zheng, so she will be confined for three months. As for Miss Zheng San, I don't know why you want to harm yourself. The method is difficult for me to deal with, but since you are young and ignorant, I don’t care."

Zheng Youlian clenched his hands tightly, his nails leaving deep marks on his palms, gritted his teeth and said, "I know!" Zheng Eying couldn't believe that this matter was revealed like this? Why!
"The Queen is here!"

The queen has arrived? Everyone knelt down one after another, and only the eldest princess gave her a slight blessing: "The Queen."

The queen, who was dressed in palace attire, was graceful and luxurious. "Princess, there is no need for big gifts, and everyone is of equal height. Today is the eldest princess's banquet, so you don't have to be restrained."

"Thank you, Queen." Everyone said in unison.

Seeing the embarrassed Zheng sisters, the queen asked strangely: "This is not Miss Zheng San. Why are they all wet?"

The eldest princess said: "It's not a big deal. Miss Zheng San fell into the water because of some misunderstanding."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Eying suddenly ran to the queen and knelt down heavily: "Queen, please make the decision and save my sister!" Tang Bingxuan shook her head, she didn't know whether to live or die, pigs were killed by stupidity.

The queen asked: "Concubine Zheng? What happened to her?"

Zheng Eying cried: "I don't know where I offended the fifth lady just now, and asked the fifth lady to frame her for offending the Marquis. My sister was punished by the lady for three months for protecting my daughter. But she was seriously injured and she hasn't recovered yet." How can she bear to be put in solitary confinement? I beg the queen to make the decision, let me take care of everything!"

Xu Fanshu was furious and said: "What a brave Zheng Eying, who took quotes out of context and deceived the queen!" He told the queen everything in detail. The servant moved a chair for the queen. After hearing this, the queen said: "There is such a thing. According to my opinion, whether Miss Zheng has ever verbally offended the Fifth Marquis, no one can explain except the two parties involved. Only the truth about Miss Zheng falling into the water is unknown, so the Fifth Lady said Is it inappropriate to punish Concubine Zheng for false accusation? "What do you think?" Others agreed after hearing this, "Yes, you can't be so unreasonable with the protection of the Marquis."

"Yes."

Xu Fanshu looked at Tang Bingxuan worriedly. Tang Bingxuan responded with a reassuring smile, "As for the queen, this matter was handled improperly by my concubine. But as the queen said, neither Miss Zheng San nor I can produce any solid evidence to prove the truth. How do you think we should handle it?"

The queen said: "Speaking of it, this is also the internal affairs of the Fifth Prince's Palace. It's just that Miss Zheng San asked to be in front of me, but she can't take care of it, and she can't care about it. Princess, you are the host, what do you think?"

Xu Fan wrote: "Empress, princess, I have a simple way."

The princess happened to find it difficult, so she immediately said: "Tell me and listen."

Zheng Youlian was a little worried after hearing this. She knew that Xu Fanshu was on Tang Bingxuan's side!

Xu Fanshu said: "As you all know, our court has sworn an oath. If we break our oath, there will be thunder and lightning. It is better for the fifth lady and Miss Zheng San to swear on the thick soil of the yellow sky. If what they say is false, they will have no grandchildren or children for the rest of their lives." ,Die alone."

Tang Bingxuan said: "I am willing to swear!"

The Queen said: "Miss Zheng San, what about you?"

Zheng Eying lost all her blood and her body was trembling slightly. She said stiffly: "My lord, my lord, I can't remember clearly. Maybe there is a misunderstanding. Madam does not need to take her oath seriously."

The noble lady on the side laughed secretly when she saw this, making Zheng Eying wish she could find a hole in the ground to crawl in. The queen looked very unhappy and said loudly: "Miss Zheng San, do you know what you are talking about! According to me, there is no doubt that you designed to frame the fifth lady and tried to deceive me. I know this is a capital crime!"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Zheng Youlian knelt and crawled in front of the queen, "Queen, please spare my life. My sister-in-law is young and ridiculous, but she has no bad intentions. I hope your Majesty will not remember the mistakes of others!"

The Queen snorted coldly, and because of the power of Shangshu Mansion, she temporarily kept silent. The eldest princess gave her a step and said: "Queen, why don't you give me some face today and spare this girl? I will punish Miss Zheng San to reflect in the Shangshu Mansion and not be allowed to go out for three months! Fifth Madam, what do you think?"

After the matter was settled, the eldest princess was no longer in the mood for the banquet, "The Queen, I am not feeling well today. The Queen and the other ladies will have a banquet." The emperor gave the eldest princess's words a thumbs down, and the Queen agreed.

After the eldest princess left, the queen looked annoyed at all these things and returned to the palace, and everyone dispersed.

In Tang Bingxuan's Mu Ranzhai, Zhou Ming is taking action as Zhi Xia said. Today, another clerk, Wang Can, is guarding the ice cellar. Zhou Ming is holding a laxative and is about to add medicine to Wang Can's cup.
