A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 628 Questioning also costs money

The madam was a little annoyed when she heard the words, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous to Meng Yan, and said: "Princess Yin Wu doesn't know good people, but someone has witnessed this incident with her own eyes."

The female relatives present were all surprised by this sentence and looked at it one after another.

It was originally a rumor that had been extinguished, but it was said that someone saw it with their own eyes?
Another person said: "This matter is strange to say, there is no wave without wind, if there is no shadow, why do you just talk about the mother of the princess and the prince of Langguo?"

The queen was sitting in the upper seat, and asked with a voice: "What's going on, I'm going to spread rumors randomly, and I won't forgive you lightly."

The lady subconsciously looked at Mrs. Xie's family.

Without the support of the Xie family, who would dare to blatantly provoke the Yin Wu Palace?The Xie family occupies most of the court, others are afraid of Yin Wu Palace, but the Xie family has nothing to fear.

So the lady turned her head to look at Mrs. Xie's family, and other eyes followed her.

The one who came to the birthday banquet today was not the eldest wife of the Xie family, but the second wife and several other wives.

Second Madam Xie Shi Shiran said: "I also think it's better to clarify this matter, lest Princess Yin Wu suspect that others deliberately spread rumors and make trouble with her tongue. The empress is here today, so I won't hide it. A few days ago, I also learned by chance that someone actually saw a lady being sent to the embassy, ​​and then sent to the courtyard where Prince Lang lived."

"A lady?" Meng Yan raised her head with a puzzled expression.Her hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.

Second Madam Xie looked at Meng Yan and said, "Exactly. The guards on duty at night at the embassy saw it with their own eyes, so how could it be false. If the empress doesn't believe it, just call the guards and ask."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone speculated one after another, and took it for granted that the lady and the Xia family were seated together.

The queen asked, "Where is that guard now?"

Mrs. Xie Er said: "I brought the person here too, and I will wait outside to be summoned at any time. Today, Prince Shou is celebrating his birthday. I shouldn't have mentioned these things, but I heard that Princess Shou invited Princess Yinwu's mother, so I brought people with me." Come here, I have a chance to identify it and see if it is the mother of Princess Yin Wu."

Now that this is the point, Concubine Shou couldn't evade it, so she could only say: "It's about the innocence of Mrs. Yin Wu's residence. Of course it's best to find out. There must be some misunderstanding."

The queen said, "Go and bring those guards up."

After a while, several guards were sent to the garden, and they knelt down first to salute.

Mrs. Xie ordered: "What happened that night, you should tell the truth. If you conceal anything, it is a crime of deception."

The guards did not dare to offend King Wu of Yin, but they also did not dare to offend the Xie family.If they hadn't been too drunk to talk about it, these things wouldn't have happened.

Now that the matter has been exposed, if you want to conceal it again, you will add to the crime.

So, I had no choice but to tell the truth as I knew it.

That night, three people, one woman and two men, sent an unconscious lady to the embassy, ​​saying that she was the one ordered by the superior to send to Prince Lang.The guards didn't dare to disobey, so they sent someone to Prince Lang's residence.As for what happened afterwards, they have no way of knowing.

The queen asked seriously: "Do you still remember what the lady who was sent in looked like?"

The guard replied: "I still remember."

The second wife of the Xie family said: "So, now we just need to call Princess Yin Wu's mother and let these guards recognize it, and then we will know whether it is true or not."

Now the spearhead is directed at Meng Yan and her mother. Meng Yan knows very well that as long as the queen orders her mother to come and confront each other, the previous cover-up will fall short.

She is also very clear that these guards have seen her mother, it is a flaw.But she originally expected that they would not have the courage to show it, otherwise they would neglect their duties and cause a big mistake, and she would die.

Unexpectedly, he was still captured by someone with a heart.

Now Mrs. Xie is here for her, even if the comatose Mrs. is not her mother, I am afraid that these guards will insist that she is her mother after Mrs. Xie's reminder that they can save their lives.

In this case, if her mother didn't come, it would be an indirect guilty admission. If her mother came, she would immediately become the target of public criticism.

And the queen ordered that she had to come.

However, before the queen gave the order, no one expected that Meng Yan suddenly stood up, with a face full of anger, holding a teacup in his hand, and threw it on the ground violently, smashing it to pieces.

Everyone present was shocked, including the queen.

Meng Yan sternly said: "The rumors and gossips are all about me, but now it's hurting my mother. The next step is to spread the rumors and hurt my two children?! I tolerate it again and again, but someone keeps pressing me," she said. Turning sideways, he bowed to the queen who was sitting up, "If the empress doesn't make the decision for the minister's wife in today's matter, I'm afraid the minister's wife will go to Dali Temple with a lawsuit!"

Mrs. Xie's family sneered: "If you didn't do that, who can force you? It's just to find out the truth of the matter, the princess would have overreacted."

Meng Yan glanced at her and said: "Ma'am, what she said is wrong. Madam randomly brought a few guards to testify that she sent someone to Prince Lang. Madam didn't understand the truth of the matter, so she first blatantly suspected that it was me." Mother, just because you came here, do my mother and I have to cooperate with your suspicion? Can I also find a few guards and say that the person is Mrs. Xie?"

Madam Xie's family was a little annoyed and said: "If Princess Yin Wu is not guilty, why do you need to say so much, won't the truth come to light if Madam Zun comes to see it?"

Meng Yan said: "If it's my mother, I have nothing to say. If it's not, what should Madam Xie do? I can't let my mother be questioned in vain. Since Madam Xie raised this question, she should pay the corresponding cost of questioning. Otherwise Next time, whoever finds a few more people can pour dirty water on them at will, isn't it just like a child's play?"

Ming Yanjun who was sitting next to Mrs. Ming suddenly said: "Princess Yin Wu is right, I agree."

Mrs. Ming also said: "Rumors hurt people, if everyone can maliciously slander others without being responsible, then it would be too rash for everyone to follow suit next time."

Isn't her daughter tired of rumors? Mrs. Ming is a sensible person, she can see that it was Meng Yan who helped her daughter last time in the hall.

Mrs. Xu followed suit and nodded.

Several wives who have made friends with them also agreed.

At this point, Mrs. Xie could only say: "Then Princess Yin Wu, tell me, what do you want?"

Meng Yan stared at her, and raised her voice: "I said, if it was my mother, I would have nothing to say, and I would ask the Empress to take responsibility for my mother's humiliation; How about slapping your face and mouth for thirty, and then going to Dali Temple to receive the punishment for slander, thirty with a stick?"
