Phoenix Nirvana: The King's Alluring Medical Concubine

Chapter 48
"Hundred Li Qingcheng." The man then said his name.

Hearing this, Xia Zijin burst out laughing suddenly, "Qingcheng? Isn't that a woman's name? Haha."

Seeing this, Baili Qingcheng's face turned dark. He usually wouldn't tell others his unique name, and he didn't know why he blurted it out in front of Xia Zijin just now.

But being ruthlessly ridiculed by someone, Baili Qingcheng resisted the urge to slap someone to death, and stared at the person who was still laughing.

Xia Zijin was horrified by his stare, so she had no choice but to restrain her smile, and pretended to cough a few times, "Well, the name is still very nice, goodbye."

After speaking, Xia Zijin quickly turned around and strode away with a big smile on his face.

Back in Nanyuan, Xia Zijin devoted herself to embroidery.

After lunch, Xia Zijin was about to go back to her room to continue her embroidery, but she saw Lu Fangfang walking over with someone.

Xia Zijin was taken aback for a moment, and before she could ask a question, Lu Fangfang led the crowd into the room.

Xia Zijin quickly followed in. Seeing everyone rummaging around in the room, making a mess, Xia Zijin shouted, "What are you doing? Stop."

No one paid any attention to her, they just searched hard, one of them found a jade bracelet under Xia Zijin's pillow, quickly brought it to Lu Fangfang and said, "Young Madam, I found it."

Lu Fangfang took the jade bracelet, then cast a contemptuous glance at Xia Zijin who looked puzzled, and ordered someone to take her away.

Xia Zijin was taken to the hall and forced to kneel on the ground, while Fan Ru was sitting on the main seat, looking down at Xia Zijin.

Lu Fangfang gave the jade bracelet to Fan Rudao: "Mother, look, this is the bracelet of my daughter-in-law. I found it under her pillow."

Fan Ru nodded, then his face darkened, and he looked at Xia Zijin and said mockingly: "It's really day and night defense, and it's hard to guard against house thieves."

Xia Zijin almost understood what was going on at this time, so don't think about it, this is a scene they directed and acted on their own.

"I didn't take this bracelet."

"You didn't take it? Could it be that the bracelet flew under your pillow by itself?" Lu Fangfang sneered.

Xia Zijin knew that no matter what she said at this time, it was useless, but she would never admit to this trumped-up charge, "Anyway, I didn't steal anything."

"It seems that you will stop crying when you see the coffin."

After finishing speaking, Fan Ru said to a servant standing beside him, "Family inheritance."

Hearing Fan Ru's words, Zhao Yu, who was eavesdropping outside the hall, was startled and turned around to leave.

After a while, the servant came out with a tray, and inside the tray was a long purple whip as thick as a thumb.

"The crime of stealing, how should we deal with it according to the family law?" Fan Ru asked the servant beside him.

"Returning to the old lady, you should be punished with twenty to thirty lashes depending on the severity of the case." The servant replied respectfully.

Fan Ru nodded, and then said: "Then thirty lashes."

"Yes." The servant agreed, then took out his whip, and walked behind Xia Zijin, showing a sinister smile.

Xia Zijin was held down by the two maids and couldn't move, so he could only say angrily: "You have no evidence at all, why should you treat me——ah~~"

Only halfway through Xia Zijin's words, he felt a burning pain in his back, and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

Fan Ru smiled, staring at Xia Zijin's slightly distorted cheeks due to the pain, and said, "It's a joke, there are witnesses and evidence gathered, and you still can't deny it."
