Old Madam Xia's husband was a powerful man, and she herself was an upright old lady who had never been involved in any scandal.
As soon as she spoke, those ladies who had originally not intended to speak immediately closed their mouths even more tightly, for fear of being implicated.
Only Princess Chang'an frowned slightly, she knew that what Old Madam Xia said was directed at her and Princess Xianrong.
Although the old princess also spoke for Wei An before, after all, the old princess had led Wei An for so many years, so everyone would think that the old princess was biased towards Wei An.
But now that Old Madam Xia has stepped forward, the situation is different.
Prince Zheng coughed and said, "The old lady is so sensible. I really admire her."
The implication is that if Princess Chang'an continues to act recklessly, she would be unreasonable.
This is really too much.
Princess Xianrong cried tears of grievance, and she almost cried out loud as she looked at Prince Zheng with tears in her eyes: "Uncle... I really didn't..." She felt wronged, and went forward to pull Prince Zheng's clothes, crying again and again: "I didn't..."
King Zheng only knew that he had a daughter.
But he always thought that his daughter had gone with her mother when she was born. Except for the fact that he would secretly stay in the Buddhist temple for a day and a night on Ming Yuyou's death anniversary every year, thinking about his wife and the daughter who died at birth whom he had never met, he had always been very good to the daughters of his other brothers and sisters.
He also brought novel gifts to Lady Xianrong countless times and took her outings.
But because of this, he became even angrier.
He loved his niece so much, but what did he do in the end
Xianrong County Lady cried hard, but he no longer felt pity for her. He just glanced at Lai Mama and kicked her mercilessly: "Tell me clearly, who ordered you to do this?!"
His attitude was clear.
Remembering Wei An's previous words, Mother Lai trembled.
Madam Mei sneered mercilessly: "If someone else confesses later, you can figure it out yourself!"
Mrs. May never forgave her servants.
Lord Mei and Grandma Mei will definitely make her life a living hell.
Mother Lai didn't dare to beat around the bush with them anymore. She crawled a few steps to Prince Zheng and Madam Mei with a sad face, and said hoarsely, almost shouting, "It was really someone close to the county lady who gave me the money..."
As soon as she finished saying this, the biggest burden was gone. Lai's mother only wanted to survive, and she no longer had any other concerns: "I still have the money..."
As she spoke, she tremblingly took out an exquisite purse from her bosom: "How can I have this purse? None of the girls in my family have purses of this style..."
The will to live of a person who wants to live is enough to break all worries. Wei An smiled lightly: "That's good. We also caught a maid in our mansion. She was the one who was wandering outside to see which way the wind was blowing. When she saw the wet nurse go out, she deliberately led the wet nurse to lead the madam and the princesses to the bridal chamber... Now that Lai Mama has confessed, why not see if she has confessed? If what the two say matches, then the county lady won't be wrongly accused, right?"
As she spoke, the old princess ordered in a deep voice: "To be fair, let that girl come in as well. In front of so many nobles, they will naturally be able to judge whether what she said is true or not."
Princess Chang'an looked unhappy.
Wei An was really well prepared.
It’s not that Wei An was well prepared, but that his daughter was too unpresentable.
That's so stupid!
How could he be so stupid? He wanted to harm others but left evidence everywhere.
Prince Zheng did not care about her mood or Princess Linjiang's attempt to stop him. He waved his hand and asked someone to bring the girl up as well.
Compared to Lai Mama's hesitant attitude, the little girl had obviously been beaten down by He Sheng and Zhao Qi. She knelt on the ground crying as soon as she entered the door. She knelt on the ground obediently and said that it was the Lady Xianrong who ordered her to wait outside, and if there was any movement inside, she was asked to call people quickly.
Prince Zheng listened calmly, and still calmly asked the Xianrong County Lady who had stopped crying: "Do you have anything else to say?"
The Lady of Xianrong County just kept shaking her head.
Princess Chang'an pulled her daughter behind her, looked at King Zheng coldly, and asked him bluntly: "Just based on the testimony of two servants, you want to convict my daughter?"
She sneered, "I'm afraid neither the Dali Temple nor the Jinyiwei would dare to be so careless, right?"
Princess Linjiang's right eyelid twitched violently. She wanted to nod but for some reason she couldn't speak.
Prince Zheng asked, "Do you want to alert the Jinyiwei and the Dali Temple?"
He laughed, "The Dali Temple Director and the Ministry of Justice Assistant Minister An Qinghe are both outside, and the Jinyiwei Commander Lin Sanshao is also here. If you really think I am unfair, why not let them come in and take Ah Sheng away for investigation?"
King Zheng is serious!
He looked serious and was not joking at all. He really intended to let Young Master Lin and the others take over if Princess Chang'an and the Xianrong County Lady and her daughter continued to quibble.
But how can this be possible? !
If Young Master Lin and his men came in, not to mention that Xianrong County Lady would not be able to pass their interrogation, how could she become the consort of the prince in the future? !
Her life is completely over!
This was the first time that Princess Chang'an experienced the feeling of being defeated by a junior.
But she couldn't blame anyone else, because it was her daughter who ran into this trap. No matter how careful she was, it was useless. She raised such a daughter...
Lady Xianrong was so frightened that she grabbed Princess Chang'an's clothes.
Princess Chang'an took a deep breath, softened her voice and coughed: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding about this matter..."
No matter what, this matter cannot be continued.
She looked at King Zheng solemnly, then glanced at Wei An, realizing that it was this little girl who could decide the final outcome of this matter. After a pause, she asked her, "What do you want?"
This was the second time today that she had asked someone what they wanted.
Lady Xianrong looked at her mother with some fear. As far as she could remember, the last time her mother was like this, it was because a retainer in the family did something outside, which caused her to say several times "what do you want to do?" After that, the retainer and his family disappeared completely and never appeared again.
Wei An was not afraid. She looked directly into Princess Chang'an's eyes and smiled without backing down. "Princess, this question really stumped me. How can it be up to me to decide what I want? You should ask the county lady what she wants."
Throw the ball back again.
This guy is really stubborn and shrewd to the core.
