Reborn pretty princess

Chapter 119
Qiyang is the original family land of the Feng family, and it is the territory directly under the Feng family. It belongs to the Feng country in name, but it is independent of the Feng emperor. All official appointments in the city are decided by the Feng family and are not controlled by the Feng emperor. , This is why the latter also instructed the Bai family to do it when they attacked the Feng family, rather than directly ordering it.

All in all, as long as the Feng family doesn't make unjustifiable mistakes, Emperor Feng can't attack it, nor can it interfere with Qiyang's government affairs, and the city is also guarded by the Feng family's army instead of relying on soldiers and horses.

This makes Dongdu look like a country within a kingdom of Feng Kingdom. The common people only know the Feng family but not the imperial court, and only know the Feng Yuan Empress but not the Feng Emperor. How can the latter not be caught in the throat?
There is no city magistrate in Qiyang City, but a Qiyang magistrate, who is responsible for managing public security in the city.

As soon as Qingxue revealed her identity with the letter from Feng's family, she immediately alarmed Ling Yin, and came out in person to welcome Feng Wei in solemnly.

In the courtroom, a group of people were crying and complaining. The woman's voice was the loudest, overpowering everyone, crying, "Master Ling Yin, you have to decide for the little lady!"

Feng Wei sat in the inner hall at the back, hearing the sharp and high-pitched cry, she frowned—this woman seemed to be a no-brainer, if she couldn't restrain Su Xiaoyu, she would be led by the nose instead.

She continued to listen quietly, to see what kind of trick Su Xiaoyu was trying to play.

Feng Wei intuitively felt that Su Xiaoyu's mind was impure, and she had been scheming since she saved Qing Mo. She was afraid that coming to court this time was also expected by the latter, and she even led it on purpose!
"Don't roar in the courtroom!" Ling Yinsheng was afraid that the voice would disturb the eldest princess who was listening in the inner hall behind him, so he clapped his hands and slapped a few cases, and shouted heavily.

He was in neat official attire, sitting upright in the hall, and when he spoke like this, the hall would dare not make a sound, and it immediately became quiet.

"You speak first!" He pointed to the woman who cried the loudest.

After recovering from her stupor, the woman hurriedly took a few steps, leaned down and shouted loudly: "My lord, this concubine is the wife of the eldest son of the Li family, Li Yi, and this bitch next to me..." She raised her hand and pointed at Su Xiaoyu, "My husband and I were the ones who saved me and married my son, but this bitch doesn't obey women's morals, she flirts with people outside, and even stole our Li family's heirloom jade pendant! Please be my concubine!" The wife is in charge!" After being startled for a while, she didn't dare to make a fuss like before, so she just told the matter honestly.

After hearing this, Ling Yin looked at Su Xiaoyu, and saw that the other party was covered in bruises, his figure shrank, tears were streaming down his face, his expression was sad, indignant and aggrieved, he didn't look as miserable as the woman said.

It's just that he has seen too many duplicity, kind-hearted people in the courtroom, and he didn't feel much, so he asked with a cold face: "What do you have to say?"

Su Xiaoyu shook her head sadly, and answered in tears: "I...I..." She said "I" several times but didn't say it out loud, but Ling Yin didn't mean to play word games with her. Look at it!After clapping the case, he shouted: "Speak up! Can you admit what she said?"

Su Xiaoyu seemed to be frightened, closed her eyes reflexively, and shouted tremblingly: "I... I didn't disobey women's morals! I didn't steal it! That jade pendant was passed on to me!"

When the woman heard this, she immediately flew up and choked her, "Sure enough, it's for a good friend! You bitch! That jade pendant is a family heirloom from our Li family, when did I give it to you?! See if I don't tear your mouth off! !"

How could Ling Yin allow her to be so presumptuous, and he was furious on the spot and asked the yamen servant to drag her aside, and interrogated Su Xiaoyu, "You mean to admit that you took the jade pendant?"

Su Xiaoyu shrank, and only murmured in a low voice: "I'm not disobedient, I..."

Ling Yin was impatient to entangle her with these things, and turned to ask the woman, "Is there any basis for what you said?"

The woman nodded again and again, "Yes! The servants at home saw her acting sneaky for two days in a row. She came to my room when Yupei disappeared. There are witnesses for all of this!"

After she finished speaking, the people kneeling behind her also hurriedly spoke out.

"That's true, villain Li San, he was very cautious when he saw the young lady going out alone by accident."

"Young madam deliberately pushed everyone away when she entered the madam's room. When the servant came back, she happened to see her coming out of the room with a flustered expression! This is what the servant saw with her own eyes!"

"Young madam even secretly took a man's clothes from the mansion and went out! I also gave money to the villain to keep quiet!"

Feng Wei smiled when she heard this, but the smile didn't reach her eyes at all, and her eyes were a little cold in the direction of the court.

She has roughly guessed what kind of tricks Su Xiaoyu is playing by now, and she also knows what she wants to do after hiding Qing Mo for these days.

Did he want to take the opportunity to leave the Li family and return to Qing Mo's side?Lowering her eyes, Feng Wei took the teacup on the table and took a sip lightly.

She is a married woman, even if that person is demented, even if she has never had intercourse, she is still a member of the Li family by name!Can't escape!If she is content with her current life, she will definitely get his protection and a large amount of gold and silver rewards for her life-saving grace to Qing Mo.

Unfortunately, Su Xiaoyu is obviously not reconciled to this!
What the servant said just now, and Su Xiaoyu's secretiveness in his own words, are all leading the topic of the jade pendant theft in another direction. If Su Xiaoyu didn't deliberately direct this scene, she wouldn't believe it!
The commotion in the courtroom outside is now approaching a climax.

The accusations made by several servants and maidservants made Su Xiaoyu unable to defend herself, so she could only cry aggrievedly, "I didn't..."

Ling Yincai didn't have the idea of ​​sympathizing with the fragrance and cherishing the jade. Seeing that the testimony of witnesses confirmed that she had bitten her to death and would not let go, she had the idea of ​​using punishment.

At this time, a servant shouted loudly: "Ah! I remembered! The young lady was going to the Dongjie shop at that time! There is an old warehouse that was abandoned in the mansion over there. I don't know if I can find clues there. !"

Mrs. Li also shouted: "It must be the place where the adulterer stays! Maybe my family's jade pendant is also there!"

What the servant said was exactly where Su Xiaoyu hid Qing Mo.

"No! I have nothing with Brother Qing!" Su Xiaoyu was sweating profusely, and clarified quickly, but her voice was weak and soft, and there was no credibility at all. Instead, it made people think that she had a very close relationship with the person in her mouth.

Things have developed to this point, and the following things can be foreseen. In order to retrieve the missing jade pendant, Ling Yin will definitely ask the government officials to go to that place to search and bring people here for questioning. He will naturally recognize Qing Mo's name at that time. identity.

But Su Xiaoyu first rescued him, and later stole the jade pendant for him to pawn money to buy medicine, so she was misunderstood by others for not obeying women's morals and not allowing the Li family.This kindness, this sacrifice is really great, according to that person's personality, he will never ignore it.

The biggest possibility is to take Su Xiaoyu out of the Li family, and Su Xiaoyu, who has nowhere to go, can naturally stay by his side.

Really good calculation!

Before Ling Yin could speak, Feng Wei smashed the teacup in her hand on the ground, and the crisp sound of porcelain cracking was heard clearly.

Everyone in the court heard clearly and looked in the direction of the sound.

Sitting in the hall, Ling Yin's heart trembled, and he choked up in his throat when he ordered the servant to go and check as the servant said—the crisp sound seemed to have other meanings.

At the same time, Xiangtong walked out of the inner hall, bowed to Ling Yin and said in a low voice: "My lord, Your Highness welcomes you."

Her voice was extremely low, except for Ling Yin and the few people beside him, no one in the hall could hear her.

Su Xiaoyu, who was kneeling at the bottom of the hall, raised her head, only to see a woman walking out and said something, and Master Ling Yin, who was sitting in the hall, hurriedly got up and entered the room behind.

Reminiscent of the crisp sound just now, she secretly guessed: Could it be that there is a noble person listening behind?Did that person hear you when you called yourself Brother Qing just now?Did he recognize Brother Qing's identity?
Su Xiaoyu was overjoyed by this sudden episode, and paid more attention to grooming her body movements and expressions, making her look more delicate and pitiful, so that when she was sent for questioning later, she would aggravate her impression on that nobleman.

It never occurred to her that she only guessed the beginning correctly, but guessed the ending wrong—it was completely different from what she thought.

When Ling Yin entered the room, Feng Wei took another pair of teacups from Qingxue and was slowly sipping with her eyes narrowed.

Ling Yin didn't dare to raise his head, and asked in a low voice: "Is your Highness summoning an official?"

"Huh?" Feng Wei raised her head, removed the teacup from her lips, put it gently on the table, and said lightly, "It's nothing, I'm just curious, does the government also care about arresting rape?"

Ling Yin was taken aback for a moment, only then did he realize that if he sent the yamen servants out, it would really be like that, so he hurriedly explained: "No, I'm an official..."

Feng Wei smiled gently, and said, "It's the first time I've heard someone judge a case, but I've really learned a lot. Folk affairs are really cumbersome and nonsensical. It's obviously a case of internal theft of a jade pendant, but it can be distorted into a woman's case." The nasty thing about people hooking up with foreign men is well-founded and very interesting!"

Ling Yin felt that something was wrong, there was something in the princess's words!Then I thought about her sudden visit, could it be because of this matter?

This case is also strange, since those servants are convincing and can point out the specific place, they can go to search by themselves, so why did they bring it to the court?It also attracted the attention of the eldest princess...

Ling Yin thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was full of weirdness, so he decided to let it go.

He thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "What does Your Highness mean?"

Feng Wei said lightly: "Send this kind of matter back and let them solve it by themselves! The government doesn't have to ask about other people's inner houses."

Ling Yin nodded immediately, "I'll do it now, sir."

Su Xiaoyu waited happily to meet the nobleman, and even brewed an argument in her heart for a long time, but what she waited for was Ling Yin's scolding, saying, "The scandals in the inner house are also used to wantonly harass, and the Yafu will do it for you. Catch the traitor?" So the matter was dismissed and the Li family was allowed to go back and deal with it by themselves.

She was stunned immediately, with a look of bewilderment, how... could this happen?Shouldn't it be like this?
