Xia Tieniu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't worry, girl, it's just for the prince and princess to kneel down and kowtow, I know that." As long as you give them benefits, let alone kneel down and kowtow, you will even serve them with water to wash their feet.
Looking at the two men's flattering faces, Xing Fang sneered secretly. It seemed that their wishful thinking was about to come to nothing.
The two of them followed Xing Fang into the hall. They saw the noble and domineering prince sitting at the head of the hall, while Xia Yuanqiu was sitting on the left side of the prince, and Xia Yuanhao was sitting on the lower right. Boy, this kid looks really decent dressed up like this. He doesn't look like someone from this poor ravine at all.
"Why don't you kneel down?" Xing Fang scolded in a low voice.
Only then did Xia Tieniu and Lin react. They quickly knelt down and shouted in unison: "See you, my lord, my lord and your concubine. Thousand years of age."
Zhu Yan ignored the two of them, not even looking at them, and only focused on playing with the jade ring on his finger.
Xia Yuanqiu looked at Xia Tieniu and Lin who were lying on the ground in front of him with a calm expression. He couldn't explain how he felt. In the past, they were the only relatives of Xia Yuanqiu and Xia Yuanhao in Xipo Village, but now Not only did they ignore them in every possible way, but they even went to the extent of bullying them. Not only did they borrow money for three to five days to go to the garden to pick vegetables, but they even managed to kill their only old hen.
After she became successful, they tried new ways to extort money from her, and even tried to drive her out of Xipo Village and take possession of her and Yuan Hao's house. They probably never imagined that one day they would be crawling in front of her. Bar!
The hall was quiet, except for Xia Tieniu's slightly nervous breathing, almost no other sounds could be heard.
Xia Tieniu is a rough man, and Lin is a peasant woman. They have a lot of strength and rough skin, but they have no habit of kneeling, and they don't know the skills of kneeling. After kneeling for a while, the two of them became pregnant. I feel like I can't stand it, my calves are numb, my knees hurt, and I don't dare to move or get up casually.
I don’t know how long it took, but Yuan Qiu finally said: “Get up!”
Xia Tieniu and Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time their hearts began to beat. This meeting gave them a powerful blow, and they might not know what else was waiting for them later.
Mrs. Lin stole a glance at Yuan Qiu and saw that Yuan Qiu's face was pale and her eyes were clear. She could not see any joy or anger, and she felt even more confused.
When Xia Tieniu saw that Yuan Qiu was still silent, he coughed dryly and said, "Yuan—I wonder what the reason for the two princes and princesses coming in here is?"
Of course he hoped that Yuan Qiu could take out one or a stack of large-denomination banknotes from his arms, but unfortunately he didn't. Yuan Qiu looked at Xia Tieniu with a half-smile in his eyes and said, "Xia Tieniu, do you know your guilt?" ?”
When Xia Tieniu heard this, he was confused. Why did he ask if he knew he was guilty? Could it be that when he was called in, he was not asked to give a banknote, but to be questioned
Thinking of what happened in the past, he broke into a cold sweat on his back, his legs trembled, and he knelt down again: "The common people don't know what the princess said!"
Xia Yuanqiu sneered: "You really don't know?"
Mrs. Lin also knelt down and hurriedly said: "Princess Mingjian, we husband and wife have always been kind to others and never done evil things. Why are we guilty?"
Never do evil
Yuan Qiu suddenly wanted to laugh, but Yuan Hao couldn't help laughing anymore. He laughed so much that tears almost burst out. He pointed at Mrs. Lin and cursed: "You cunning woman, you have the nerve to say that you are kind to others? Are you doing that kind of kindness? ? Seeing that our siblings are lonely and helpless, is it a good thing to take away our property? Is it a good thing to allow your children to come to our house to search for property? Isn't it a good thing to borrow money again and again when you know that our siblings live in poverty? ? Is it a good thing to steal our only old hen? Is it a good thing to want to seize my sister's money? Is it also a good thing to even want to force my sister to be your daughter-in-law? "
