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

Chapter 631 Emphasis on Implementation
When Xia heard this, she felt relieved and said: "Then I'll go back to my room and change my clothes, and I'll go with you."

Meng Yan said: "Don't worry, Mother changed her clothes, combed her hair, and put on some makeup."

Xia Shi said: "Isn't the empress waiting, how can I make her wait so long?"

Meng Yan said: "But you can't lose your appearance in front of the emperor."

So after returning to the courtyard, Mrs. Xia changed her clothes, sat down and combed her makeup calmly.

Everyone in Shouwang Mansion was waiting a little anxiously. The emperor wanted to wait a while, but he waited for a while and there was no sign of him. There are still a lot of government affairs in his palace that have not been dealt with. Time is very precious. , So he got up and wanted to go back to the palace, leaving only words: "Leave this matter to the queen, and report to me afterwards."

The courtiers sent them off again and again.

As soon as the emperor left, the imperial guards also withdrew.

It was only at the birthday banquet that there was a peaceful look, and everyone was not so restrained.

It was nearly noon when Meng Yan took Xia Shi to Shouwang's mansion.

It was also the first time for the Xia family to show their face in such a formal manner.She was neatly dressed, with light makeup on her face, and she looked two points younger than usual.

She tucked her hands in her sleeves and lowered her head slightly as she walked. Although her hands in her sleeves were twisted together nervously, her steps were still calm.

When they arrived at the garden, the queen in front of her, Xia Shi, bowed with blessings.

All the wives had only heard of her name before, but now they finally got to see her. They thought that a country woman could have some good self-cultivation, but in fact, it exceeded their expectations.

Xia's manners are decent, and her appearance is impeccable.

The queen said: "Mrs. Xia is free, and I will give you a seat." Then she ordered the guards to be summoned.

However, when the servants left, no one answered for a long time, and the guards did not come.

The queen was about to urge her, when someone ran over in a panic, knelt down and said, "I want to report to the empress, those guards... are dead, dead."

As soon as the voice fell, the audience was silent.

Madam Xie was the first to come back to her senses, pointing at Meng Yan and Xia Shi angrily with a pale face, and said: "It's because you are afraid that things will be exposed, right?!"

The queen frowned.

Meng Yan looked back at her and said, "Mrs. Xie, you doubted my mother and asked her to come and confront her. Now I have brought her here. Something went wrong on your side, but you blame me? I brought my maid to congratulate her." Shou, according to your wishes, you took the maid home to pick up your mother, ran back and forth twice, and it was in vain, you said I was playing tricks, and I would be doubled?"

Mrs. Xie said: "It wasn't you, so why did you die when you came back?"

Meng Yan said: "I have to ask Mrs. Xie. Although I'm not here, aren't you still here? I have a clear conscience. To prove my mother's innocence, I am willing to cooperate fully. Mrs. Xie hired a few guards Slandering my mother's reputation, now that my mother is here, is she afraid that the matter will be exposed, and that she will receive those thirty slaps and thirty sticks later, so let's have a death sentence first?"

Mrs. Xie was too angry to speak.

With the foreshadowing of Meng Yan's previous righteous words, everyone present could see that Mrs. Xie's family had a lot of uneasiness. Coupled with Meng Yan's repeated remarks now, her identification was even more unconvincing.

From the beginning to the end, Meng Yan never showed any guilt or panic, all she had was resentment and awe-inspiring righteousness.In order to prove her mother's innocence, she was willing to cooperate and asked the queen to investigate thoroughly, which showed that she was very sure that the lady who entered the embassy was not her mother.

In this way, the death of those guards, apart from making her suspicious, what good would it do her?
On the contrary, it was Mrs. Xie, who first pointedly pointed out, but after seeing Meng Yan's firm attitude, she began to lack confidence, which made people even more suspicious.

Meng Yan turned her head to the queen and said coldly: "Who is responsible for the death of the guards, please find out who is behind the scenes."

The queen asked coldly, "How did those guards die?"

The person who came responded: "Just now I went to the doctor immediately to see if there is any help. The doctor said that they died of taking arsenic. Someone gave them water and food earlier, but there are many servants in the palace. They're all getting ready for the luncheon, going back and forth, and nobody's noticing."

How can I say today is also the [-]th birthday of Shou Wang, in other people's place, it is not good to make a big fuss, not to mention killing people.

If it gets to the emperor's ears, if the birthday banquet of the King of Shou was ruined, I'm afraid that the queen will be blamed for her poor handling of affairs.

Then the empress ordered: "Take the guards out first, don't want to dirty the place of Lord Shou, and don't disturb the guests in front of the hall. This matter will be investigated in detail after today."

The banquet was held in the palace, Princess Shou went to Zhang Luo earlier, and then came back to ask the wives to accompany the queen to the banquet, but Meng Yan sat still.

When Mrs. Xie's family also got up gracefully, Meng Yan said lightly: "Mrs. Xie, please wait until you finish your slaps, and it's not too late to go to drink."

Mrs. Xie's family paused, turned her head and glared at Meng Yan and said, "Princess Yin Wu, don't bully me too much! Since the guard is dead, there is no way to prove whether the woman who entered and left the embassy is your mother, so there is no conclusive result. How to judge? !"

Meng Yan said: "What do you mean, if you can't prove it, it may be true? The rumors that have been spread can only be divided into yes and no, yes and no, maybe yes, maybe not, maybe, maybe not, What is the difference between these malicious speculations and rumors? If Mrs. Xie refuses to accept it, and I will not force Mrs. Xie, then I will spread the word to the whole city, saying that Mrs. Xie may spend the night outside with a wild man. I only say it is possible , and didn't say it must be, what does Mrs. Xie think?"

Mrs. Xie's family trembled with anger: "You...you are talking nonsense!"

Meng Yan said: "Mrs. Xie, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself." She bowed to the queen again, and said, "The emperor issued an oral order earlier, no one should make rumors and make troubles, and the empress is the master."

The queen glanced at Meng Yan and said, "Since it was agreed earlier, it should be fulfilled immediately."

Mrs. Xie's family looked up at the queen, and was about to open her mouth to argue, but the queen said solemnly: "There must be no mistakes."

After all, the queen turned and left.She is not partial and does not take sides with anyone, of course she will not stay here to make life difficult.

In the end, Mrs. Xie's family slapped herself thirty in front of Meng Yan in the garden.

It's just that this delicate and precious lady is not willing to really greet her face, but she just puts on a show, doesn't use much strength in her hands, and just touches her face a few times and it's done.

Meng Yan raised her brows and said: "We country people pay attention to implementation. Does Mrs. Xie not know what slapping the mouth means? Chongyi, go and show her the implementation."

"Yes."

Chongyi walked up to her heroically in a few steps, raised his hands expressionlessly, and then waved his arms to slap Mrs. Xie's delicate face.
