The more courteous she was, the angrier Empress Dowager Zhou became.
She slammed the table and said sternly: "Stop pretending to be stupid in front of the Ai family. You have done a good thing! As a queen, how dare you not admit it?" She glared at Shen Ning with sharp eyes.
Shen Ning said softly: "Mother, please calm down. My daughter-in-law really doesn't understand what my mother means. I think my daughter-in-law did something wrong. Please point it out. I will definitely correct it. I just ask your mother to please me." Don't be angry. Queen Mother, have you ever heard of a saying that being angry means using other people's mistakes to punish yourself. If your daughter-in-law makes a mistake, you can hit her or scold her if you want. Don't get angry because of your daughter-in-law's fault. Body, that’s really my wife’s fault.”
What she said was calm and calm.
Sujin stared at her, utterly convinced.
The Empress Dowager was the only one who could maintain such a calm demeanor and speak even when the Empress Dowager Zhou was furious!
The anger that originally rushed to Queen Mother Zhou's forehead actually subsided a lot, especially when she heard her words, "Being angry is punishing yourself with other people's mistakes." There was a sudden movement in her heart, and she almost nodded in agreement.
She composed herself, then became angry again: "Do you think you can talk your way through it with sharp teeth? You can't deny what you did! Well, since you don't admit that you made a mistake, Aijia will Let me tell you clearly, Zhaorong is the princess who was personally named by the emperor, and her father was the crown prince and Taibao of the Duke of Yipinning. Even the Ai family has never slapped her on the finger. Who do you think you are? Beating and scolding her? Do you know that beating the princess is equivalent to beating the emperor and the royal family? Queen, you still don’t admit your guilt!"
Shen Ning thought to herself, it was really for Princess Zhaorong.
Mo Chuan's face darkened and he said, "Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with the Queen. Queen Mother, please don't listen to Zhaorong's words..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted coldly by Queen Mother Zhou.
"Shut up, Aijia. The Aijia haven't come to you yet about your matter. It's not your turn to speak now!"
Mo Chuan closed his mouth and looked at Shen Ning, indicating that she should speak in a more tactful tone so as not to anger Queen Mother Zhou.
Shen Ning lowered her eyes slightly, as if she understood what Mo Chuan meant.
She said calmly: "If you think about what happened in the imperial study, your mother already knows the cause and effect, right?"
"Of course the Ai family knows that what happens in this palace can be hidden from the Ai family. Queen, you probably didn't think about it when you beat someone!" Empress Dowager Zhou sneered.
Shen Ning said: "The Queen Mother is right. My daughter-in-law sent someone to slap Princess Zhaorong in the face. My daughter-in-law is indeed guilty in this matter, and I know her guilt."
She actually confessed frankly, which surprised Sujin.
When Princess Zhaorong came to Shoukang Palace to cry to the Queen Mother Zhou, she served at the side. She did see several red and swollen finger marks on both sides of Princess Zhaorong's cheeks. Zhaorong insisted that they were beaten by the guards sent by the queen. She At that time, I was suspicious, thinking to myself that the empress was dignified and polite, and she and Zhaorong were strangers. How could she order the princess to be slapped for no reason? Which guard was so bold and would really dare to attack the princess
At this time, hearing Shen Ning personally admit that she did it, I couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for Shen Ning.
