Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 257
Prince Ning said coldly: "Why, as a father, you can't teach this rebellious son who disrespects his parents!"

Xiao Yu immediately had nothing to say, Xiao Xi was indeed too impulsive just now, he said something that he shouldn't say for the time being, he deserved this slap.

Princess Ning has not spoken, but there is a touch of sadness in her eyes. She glanced at Prince Ning and said in a low voice: "My lord, let's find out the truth before we talk about it. The concubine's behavior is upright, whoever will check it out?" Don't be afraid."

Prince Ning hurriedly walked to his wife's side, stroked her shoulder and said, "My concubine, I trust you."

Seeing this situation, Xiao Nuo and Xiao Xi were really going crazy.

Princess Ning looked up at her husband, and said calmly: "My lord, my concubine did order Yun Ni to send 160 gold coins and [-] silver coins to Jiaotai Garden yesterday. It was cast together with the zizi used by the palace, but it was not the gold and silver from the public, but the extra silver from the concubine's private house. The account and all the people who handled it will arrive soon, and the prince can only inquire."

Prince Ning knows very well that his wife is very good at management, regardless of whether the public property of the palace or her private property is very good, and these years his wife has been very fair. Cheap by the tiniest bit.Now she uses her private house to subsidize her own son, and she takes everything she says.What happened today was caused by brothers Xiao Yu and Xiao Xi making trouble for no reason.

"My concubine, I trust you." Prince Ning held his wife's hand and said deeply while looking into her eyes.

Seeing that the affection in her husband's eyes remained unchanged, Prince Ning and Concubine Ning felt a little angry again.At this moment, Nanny Qi and Yun Ni both knelt down, and Nanny Qiao was the person who was in charge of private accounts for Princess Ning, and she hurriedly said: "I will report back to the lord, yesterday morning, I was ordered by my mother , took out 160 taels of gold and 200 taels of 20 taels of silver, and Yun Ni sent them to Qing Zizi. They got a total of 160 gold taels, 20 silver taels, and an additional [-] taels of silver was returned , All of these have accounts to check, and the senior executives and the craftsmen of Qing Kaizi can testify. Please don't misunderstand your mother, the son and the second son."

Yun Ni also replied: "Go back to the lord, the lady said that the third master and the third young lady just got married and it was just in time for the New Year. She was afraid that the third young lady would not be able to deal with it for a while, so she ordered Qi Momo and the slaves to give the third young lady Send it to the emergency. The empress has specially confessed that gold and silver from the public must not be used, and even the fire consumption will be deducted from the empress’s private house. Please learn from the lord.”

Having said that, Xiao Ze and Du Heng stood up, and Xiao Ze said: "Father, my son heard about this when he returned home yesterday, and he is going to thank his mother today. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother and the second brother are angry because of this. Yes, son and eldest brother The second brother is not born of the same mother. At the beginning, the father and the king shared the private house of the first mother to the eldest brother and the second brother, and the son did not have the slightest opinion. How come today the son's mother gave the son something, but the elder brother and the second brother became so angry. Could it be the eldest brother? Second brother thinks mother's things have to be divided among them equally?"

Xiao Nuo and Xiao Xi jumped up when they heard this, they pointed at Xiao Ze and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, why have we ever coveted the property of the mother and concubine, we only want fairness, does the third brother want to monopolize the public property?"

Prince Ning was furious and shouted: "Shut up with me!"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Xi didn't dare to say anything, just stared at Xiao Ze angrily, but Xiao Ze ignored them, only bowed to Prince Ning and said: "Yes, my son will stop talking."

At this time, the senior executives, the craftsmen who poured the money, and the servants who carried the gold and silver came to wait in the courtyard. Prince Ning ordered someone to set up a screen and let the female relatives listen inside the screen. The two sons listened to the senior management and others outside the screen and checked the accounts.

Prince Ning didn't read the book himself, he just threw the book into Xiao Yu Xiao Xi's arms, angrily said: "Look for yourself!"

Seeing this situation, Xiao Yu and Xiao Xi already felt that something was wrong, but they still didn't give up, so they looked it up hastily.

Xiao Ze sat quietly at the side, didn't say a word, just sipping tea casually.

"Master Gao, according to the accounts, a total of [-] gold keys and [-] silver keys were cast yesterday. Have you ever used them?" Xiao Yu looked up at the senior officer and asked in a cold voice.

The senior official bowed and replied calmly: "My son, the scorpion has been cast and stored directly in the warehouse for use in the New Year, and it has not been used now."

Xiao Xi immediately shouted: "Send someone to get some."

Xiao Ze made a sound at this time, and he said lightly: "Father, instead of sending someone to the warehouse to count, why not order someone to carry the box here, and let the eldest brother and the second brother watch and count the number, so as not to worry about it Doubts arose, and the people below reported the numbers falsely.”

Xiao Yu and Xiao Xi were flustered by Xiao Ze's calmness, but they couldn't help them to back down at this moment, they both said solemnly: "This is the best."

Prince Ning snorted angrily: "Bring them all up."

The senior executive responded, and personally led the boys to carry the boxes in the warehouse.Not long after, a small group, a large group, a large group, and five groups of boxes were carried over.

Xiao Nuo and Xiao Xi watched the senior executives count the numbers. Sure enough, there were not a lot of 400 gold locks and 50 silver locks. The [-] taels of gold and the [-] taels of silver are just right.

Gao Guanjia is a meticulous person, he even brought a small scale specially called gold and silver, bowed and said: "Please check the fineness and weight of Kaizi."

With a cold face, Xiao Nuo walked around the box, took out a few gold and silver locks at random, and weighed them with his hands. They were really heavy, one or two each, and the color was good. The gold locks were shining golden, The silver curly is bright and smooth, and the back of each curd is stamped with the weight and quality and the word "Ning" to prove the origin of the curd.

He returned to his original position with a livid face and sat down. At this time, the senior executive spoke again, "Go back to the prince, the scorpion that the empress poured alone is not marked with the mark of the palace. The prince will know when he checks it." The nod proves that what the executive said is true.

At this time Xiao Ze spoke, he took out two purses from his sleeve and presented them to Prince Ning, and said calmly: "Father, this is the pouch sent by Mother yesterday, please have a look."

Prince Ning took it and opened it to see that it was exactly the same color as the zizi in the box, and it was obvious that it was poured out of a mold.There is also a mark of fineness and weight on the back, but the word "Ning" is not marked.Prince Ning nodded his head, smashed the scorpion in his hand at brothers Xiao Yu and Xiao Xi, and shouted angrily, "Look for yourself!"
