Chapter 550 Death Row
The little servant girl nodded hesitantly. Although there were thousands of dissatisfaction in her heart, she finally bit the bullet and walked to the death row. Unexpectedly calm and indifferent, the people of the Xiao family were already in despair.

"Master, madam, the second lady is in danger now, and the queen is watching closely. When the lady knelt for a stick of incense outside the queen's bedroom, she didn't wait for someone to come out. It's useless to continue like this." .”

Hey!
The little maid's words caused Master Xiao to sigh, "I didn't expect this old man to be upright, and he would be ruined by a momentary thought. It's really... so sad!"

"Master, you can only think about this in your own heart. No matter how others ask, you must never admit that you have indeed taken the food for disaster relief!"

I don't know what the old man at home thinks, and I don't see that the Xiao family is short of such a grain, and they actually moved two large carts of white rice and noodles from the granary. The empress's uncle was ordered to check the inventory. If the accounts are not accounted for, they will be reported to the Holy Majesty immediately, so that there will be a verdict.

"You said that I have been talking like this all the time. If someone really finds out the truth, our Xiao family's face will be completely lost."

The little old man who is nearly half a year old has never seen such a thing. Now think about it, if all the instruments of torture in the torture room were used on him, no matter whether he did it himself, he would have to confess to all of them.

"Master, the emperor has imprisoned members of the Xiao family for so long, and he has never neglected it. It is for the sake of the master."

What the emperor needs is a son who can carry on the family line. With such a prince, the heartache that is deeply rooted in his heart can be relieved, so...

"The master will give birth in a few months. As long as it is a son, everything can be easily solved. Master and madam, you must hold on."

"The second girl is indeed our only hope."

Mrs. Xiao, who had been silent at the side all this time, suddenly said, holding on to her husband's sleeves tightly with both hands, "Although the second girl is not my own, she grew up by my side anyway. Anyone can understand, she will definitely not refuse to save her."

snort!
A cold snort came from the corner of the cell, and the second young master, who was wearing a dirty prison uniform, limped to his father and mother, "Dad, mother, the second younger sister is a heartless white-eyed wolf, All she can think about is her own glory and wealth, since she entered the palace, when she thought about it for our Xiao family, she didn't take advantage of it at all."

"Second young master, how can you say that about your younger sister? The master also desperately climbed up to the position of noble concubine, and finally finished the position of noble concubine Zhou. Before he had time to give benefits to his mother's family, he caused such a Come on!"

It's not easy for a woman to survive in the harem, and she must be careful with every step she takes, especially if there is a master of the Sixth Palace above.

"Bah! I don't believe that my sister really wants to help my mother's family, so there's nothing she can do?"

Concubine Xiao Gui is not a girl from the first line, and she entered the palace as her sister's identity. After struggling for so many years, she finally made it through, but who would have imagined that the one who dragged herself into the abyss at the most critical moment would be the most close relatives.

"Second young master, can you be reasonable? Who did the master bring the food in that cart home for? It wasn't for you!"

As an official, Mr. Xiao has always been an official. He spends his days on the salary sent by the palace on time every month. There is really no wealth to talk about.

but……

"If you want to marry such a terribly famous lady, you will need 1000 taels of gold as a dowry gift!"

What they fancy is that the Xiao family has a noble concubine in the palace, so they naturally think that this family is the richest, and it is not difficult to get 1000 taels of gold.

"This kind of woman can't be married at all. Even the young lady who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't go out of the door won't be full of money, but the second young master just doesn't listen. You just want to marry her back. Forced the master to go outside to collect money, something has happened now!"

The little maid has always paid attention to the affairs of her mother's family. Although Concubine Xiao seldom communicates with the people in the family, she still really thinks about it, "The whole family is in prison, and the young lady is even more miserable. All the happiness of a lifetime will be invested in it." Now, if you really want to find someone to take responsibility, it has to be you, the Second Young Master!"

"You...You little girl, you dare to talk to me like that, do you want to be beaten?"

"This is not the Xiao Mansion, you can't help me messing around here and being unreasonable!"

Every word, every word, raised his chin confidently, "If you don't want to be dispatched to the frontier to do coolies, you'd better put away your complaints, the imperial concubine is already thinking of a way, there must be someone A surefire way can be taken."

"The girl is right, Erlang, shut your mouth, I don't want to hear another nonsense from you!"

Mrs. Xiao glared at this unworthy son. She shouldn't have softened her heart and agreed to his request at the beginning. Now that she has caused such a big disaster, she can only rely on her unrelated daughter, let alone push her too hard.

"Mother, I am your own son who was born in October, why are you turning your elbows out?"

"The second girl is also the daughter of the Xiao family, so why is she an outsider?"

He slapped the second young master hard on the face, without leaving any room for mercy, "Erlang, I, my mother, warn you for the last time, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame your mother for pushing you out!"

The grain was indeed shipped back by the master, but who came up with the idea?The minister of the former Dali Temple is still investigating to see if anyone is telling the truth.

"Don't! Don't, don't, don't say anything, can't you? Don't say anything."

Almost shaking his head like a rattle, he shrank back into the corner in fright, then pushed the elder brother who was sitting cross-legged on the haystack, and said in a low voice, "I said you should make a sound, so why did you die like this?" ?”

"Second Sister is right. Everyone is responsible for what they do. Our Xiao family has indeed done something wrong. But if it can be proved that the grain in the granary was not brought out by the father, but by other people, then things will turn around."

"Master, what do you mean..."

"Does the empress have any plans? No one can figure it out, but if she is allowed to have plans, the latter may not be able to secure her position."

The dog that doesn't bark is the most vicious.

These words were vividly reflected in the young master of the Xiao family, not bad at all.
