Chapter two hundred and fifty-eight
Lord Cheng continued to ask about the case, and Xi Duanxiu asked him to ask Ming Cen for the crime of slandering her: "Mrs. Chengpingbo is back, how could I ever conspire to murder her?"
Mother Zhou closed her eyes and said, "It's over, this person is destined to be thrown home today."
Mrs. Nangong raised her eyebrows, with a happy expression: "So this is it? The princess is really a person who is used to pretending to be confused. Think about it again, who sent her nurse who has been young to the palace to get along with Mrs. Bo. No, that's not to be over! Later, I asked Mrs. Bo to tell the truth, and she said she almost died in the palace. Empress Hui was going to beat her to death! You vicious woman, you are not worthy of being the princess of Nanxing!"
Tang was not Xi Duanxiu's instructor when she went to the palace. However, after Tang came back, Xi Duanxiu did not deny that in the two years when Mrs. Chengpingbo did not come back, Tang was talking nonsense outside, and she had never taken care of it.
Tang was too proud and thought that he was a great hero who forced Mrs. Chengpingbo to leave and brag about it outside.
She is more than just a "friend" from Po Zi Song. She has money and many "Nanxing friends". These friends can now be witnesses of Tang's nonsense.
Xi Duan replied with a strong and tough look: "I didn't know about the wet nurse going to Beijing in advance. The matter in the palace was the Empress Hui who took charge of the matter. Mrs. Chengpingbo's misconduct of etiquette angered the Empress. What evidence do you have to prove it is related to me?"
"have!"
Mrs. Nangong smiled and said, "Just because of you, the princess of Nanxing, is rushing to curry favor with Empress Hui, who is not your mother-in-law. I heard that the princess has sent several batches of gifts to Empress Hui's palace since then, and wrote a letter to spread rumors that Mrs. Bo's child belongs to His Highness!"
How did she know so clearly?
After all, Tang was no match for Zhuge Liang in the market, and was asked completely by Mrs. Song.
Xi Duanxiu raised her face: "What do I write in my private message? You are not worthy of your compulsory!"
There is some miscellaneous talk in the letters, which is not a normal thing.
"You are not worthy!" Mrs. Nangong also showed off her pride: "You are not worthy of being the princess of Nanxing. Mrs. Chengpingbo is young and chasing her rituals. She guards such a big family. She doesn't see a man easily, and she doesn't leave easily once. No one in the city doesn't admire her. You, the princess, doesn't say you take care of her, but instead makes things difficult for her everywhere. She also lets your wet nurse run to the palace to kill her. You! No! worthy!"
She turned to Master Cheng: "This is why I said that the princess might have murdered Mrs. Bo. All these are true. Master, I am a commoner in Nanxing, and I am Mrs. Bo's friend. Please investigate the source of this matter. The princess instructed the wet nurse to murder Mrs. Bo!"
At this time, Xi Duanxiu understood the reason why Zhou's mother was unwilling to pursue it. Nangong Cen's words were talking nonsense, and Zhou's mother wanted to hit her. So what about Tang's family, she kept talking nonsense, much more than Nangong Cen's family.
She did not collude with Concubine Hui to murder, which can be explained clearly, but Tang's problem was a big deal. Tang's mistake was wrong, and she could not clear the suspicion. Lord Cheng could not do anything to her, but she kept this suspicion, making it difficult for her to reconcile with the King of Jin.
Not long ago, she broke into the study again, and thought she had a bad attitude at that time.
Xi Duanxiu lost her anger at the mouth and allowed Mrs. Nangong to be aggressive.
Lord Cheng can't do anything Xi Duanxiu. Xi Duanxiu said she didn't instruct her. He said yes, let her go, and did not blame Zhou's mother. She is still injured. Lord Cheng said that even if Zhou's mother and Mrs. Nangong were equal, Zhou's mother agreed. Mrs. Nangong's unreasonable meaning was Xi Duanxiu. Her original intention was not Zhou's mother, and she also said she agreed.
A stingy person like Mrs. Nangong who is both a market and a family member knows that it takes a mile to defeat the princess. She will have a battle today and a battle tomorrow. This is what she needs to do.
What she wants to provoke now is Xi Duanxiu's "conspiracy" to Mrs. Chengpingbo. Although it was an attempt, she had "conspiracy" for her.
Just now, this splashing product was in Chengping Bo’s Mansion. She and Mrs. Jiang and others envied the baby so much that they drooled every day. If the baby caught Zhou, he would definitely come.
Let’s see, who dares not come in the royal city?
The officials and relatives of the city near the royal city did not send an invitation when they saw the official family, but when they heard the news, they also came to support the situation out of respect for "young and honesty".
There were also a bunch of young generals such as Uncle Guo and Uncle Chang. Those who stayed in Nanxing rushed over, followed King Jin to King Ning's place and returned, and were also in the Bo Mansion.
This momentum proves that His Highness still respects Chengping Bo Mansion in his eyes, and Mrs. Nangong had already thought about it carefully when she went to the court.
He waited for His Highness to return to the city and beat Zhou's mother. This was planned in advance. Mrs. Nangong did not expect the lively scene in Chengping Bo's Mansion today. Because Zhou's mother did not go out every day, today was a celebration day for His Highness's victory, so he left the mansion in the name of the princess to help the needy families.
This successful day of beating people happened to happen by accident, but on the day when the baby caught Zhou, Chengping Bo's Mansion once again showed the Count's strength during his lifetime and the prestige of keeping his integrity in his youth.
What about Xi Duanxiu, who plotted to murder Mrs. Bo?
It will once again make the officials dissatisfied, and the uncles will also express something. This expression should be reflected in saying a few words to His Highness King Jin.
Is Mrs. Nangong afraid of making trouble in big trouble? When she went to court, she laughed so hard. Who is afraid of whom? The bigger the trouble, the better. If Lord Cheng can't control it, your highness has to come forward. That's better.
Mrs. Nangong knew that Your Highness might not be directed at her. Princess Xi was his wife after all, but with the deceased Chengping Bo, the princess had to bow her head and point her head. Your Highness would definitely be directed at Chengping Boss Mansion.
If Mrs. Chengpingbo was really tried, the princess of the Xi family would be considered to be the end.
Speaking of this, someone may ask, when was Mrs. Nangong so arrogant that she couldn't remember Xi Chonggu?
Isn’t this Liang Ren’s support for the Ning Prince’s Mansion for two years, and Nanxing can bring troops to the scene. Besides, after Mrs. Chengpingbo returned to the city last year, she recognized Uncle Guo’s relatives?
The uncle of Nanxing, Xi Chonggu, is famous for his military and horses, and the uncle of Chengping Bofu, Guo Yuren, is also known for his military and horses.
This is a stingy guy, but his mind is not empty, and he can't be called Zhuge and Guigu. He thought that the acre of three-point land in front of him would be successful.
The problem was all focused on Tang. Although Mrs. Nangong was willing to keep this idiot and continue to send messages to herself, Tang did appear in Huifei's palace and almost killed Mrs. Bo. Mrs. Nangong also wanted to deal with her. When Lord Cheng blamed Tang, Mrs. Nangong said nothing.
Tang, who was injured by Chang'an, was beaten half to death. Princess Jin also bears the shame of the nanny of the princess of Jin. Who made this person she always valued, or the person she has been with since her child's wet nurse and her mother has been with her since her death.
Mrs. Nangong won. She thanked Master Cheng, and even saluted Xi Duanxiu with a respectful expression. She left proudly and continued to eat the baby's first-year-old wine at Chengping Bo Mansion. During the meal, she would naturally say something very much, making it impossible for her not to say it.
Xi Duanxiu took Tang back home, and I thought she would not be in a good mood.
Later, the news spread and Qiao Yuanshan asked someone to give me a message: "You and I usually think about it. The discord between Your Highness and his wife is related to Tang's family. Why not beat her to death? Keep her for fear of future troubles."
In the hearts of the civil servants such as Qiao Yuanshan wanted to compete with the Xi family, but they also hope that Princess Xi would take on her responsibilities as soon as possible and reconcile with His Highness.
Lord Cheng replied: "Your Highness asks me to keep a breath."
Qiao Yuanshan no longer replied. His Highness has his intention in doing things. Qiao Yuanshan can probably guess that this is the critical time to help Nanxing stand in independence. People must not be regarded as flattering the Xi family. This old lady Tang can still be used.
He was also very busy and was having wine in Chengping Bo’s Mansion.
The man is accompanied by Guo Yuren and other uncles, while the woman is accompanied by Mrs. Chengpingbo, who is requested by Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Wu.
Two aunts, Qin Shi and Luo, were in charge of the banquet in the kitchen. Mrs. Bo accompanied Liang Baby with peace of mind. The children who had been in the week could not sit still and asked for someone to accompany them. Today, there were many people coming, and Mrs. Bo could not feel at ease if she didn't keep her daughter.
Mrs. Nangong was blowing on the table, and the wind spread to the dozens of tables of the man. Qiao Yuanshan and Feng Liangbang smiled bitterly. Even if they had suffered losses under Mrs. Nangong, Princess Xi could not be an opponent.
Why is it really hard? The upright mistress wants to mess with the outer room and gives her face to go to court in person. Both concubines and the outer room can be treated like cats and dogs. When they are scratched, they don’t have to worry about being seriously with the cat.
After a bitter smile, Feng Liangbang approached: "Old Qiao, this splashy thing makes sense. Princess Xi instructed the wet nurse to murder Mrs. Bo, and the Xi family wants to give us an explanation."
"It seems that Mrs. Bo personally blamed Xi Chonggu and called Guo Yuren, and he knew."
Qiao Yuanshan waved and called Guo Yuren. Guo Yuren smiled and said in public. The last time: "Xi Chonggu said it was all blamed for Tang. Just kill him. Everyone knows that our Highness gives face to my uncle in everything. The wet nurse since childhood is not inferior to my biological mother. My sister is very polite. Since An Ran can forgive him, your Highness said that this is the case for the time being."
"Oh," everyone nodded, and some people thought that his Highness would pay homage to the Xi family again and again, was it necessary or could it end here... All kinds of ideas were reiterated, "Princess Xi plotted to murder Mrs. Bo" came out at this time.
Chang Jiaqi jumped over and smiled happily: "The Xi family is going to send a son-in-law to apologize. Let's ignore the woman first. Just say that the son-in-law sent by the Xi family must be the biological son. What do you think?"
"Okay." How far is the laughter coming from haha.
When the female family heard the movement on the table, she asked why she was happy. After listening to the reason, Mrs. Qiao also laughed and picked up the wine glass: "Everyone, since there is such a saying, let's have a glass, and I hope General Xi will have more noble sons."
The women raising their glasses and drinking together.
The man also thought of this sentence on the face. Chang Jiaren raised her wine glass and laughed happily: "I hope General Xi will have more sons, and this son-in-law is chosen."
Mrs. Nangong was even more confident. General Xi was rushed to see the marriage, and Princess Xi was not afraid of it.
Then, she became unconsciously sad. Until now, like everyone else, she thought that Mrs. Chengpingbo’s youthful rituals earned face, but when she was alone, she was really not easy to keep rituals young.
Mrs. Qiao raised her glass and pulled Mrs. Nangong out of sadness.
Mrs. Qiao said politely: "What you said in court is not bad. I can have a drink with you, it's fun."
Mrs. Nangong raised her glass in surprise. After eating this glass, Mrs. Feng asked her to say something accusing Princess Xi again.
The officials and their relatives couldn't say the unpleasant words. After Mrs. Nangong said it, the officials and their relatives would listen to it more and enjoy themselves.
Mrs. Nangong continued to brag.
Guo Yuren and others also joked about the Xi family. They were very happy when they returned to the Jin Palace. When they returned to the royal city, most of them lived in the Jin Palace. Although they recognized their brothers and sisters with Mrs. Chengping, Mrs. Bo still thought it was not convenient to stay overnight. Guo Yuren and others also knew this.
When Tang was talking nonsense that his child was His Highness, Nanxing Wangcheng had a certain degree of tolerance. The first was that he did not believe it very much. The second was that Mrs. Chengping was strict in guarding the family and was serious when filial piety. She was not a person who enjoyed it casually after filial piety.
Guo Yuren must come back. He told Liang Ren not to go to Bo’s Mansion. Liang Ren’s face looked very ugly. Guo Yuren always remembered that he came to lift the curtain and came to comfort His Highness.
Liang Ren said hurriedly: "What did you catch?"
"Get it in one hand." Guo Yuren was very happy.
"Why do you want to catch me? What is the first one to catch me?" Liang Ren asked.
Guo Yuren gestured: "My sister's idea is to make all the good things small, and she will grab them with one handful of them. There are also rouge boxes, books, brushes, and official seals, haha..."
Liang Ren smiled smoothly, and the tension all over his body subsided: "Haha, this is not bad." It was indeed better than what he had prepared.
Before Guo Yuren finished speaking, "Baby has both hands. There is everything in this first hand, but there are still things. The baby handed over the catch to his sister and said, I want it!"
"Haha," Liang Ren was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Okay, I caught it very well."
Squinted his eyes, he enjoyed for a while, his expression slightly calmed down. The uncle who was sitting had a drink and looked at Zhu Zhou again. He was so happy that it was time to settle the score with him, make him sad, and make up for the bastard who blocked him from going.
"Guo Yuren."
"Yes." Guo Yuren answered casually, and he was still immersed in the joy of his baby catching Zhou.
"Have Mrs. Bo obtained the salt mine in Xixian?"
Guo Yuren froze suddenly, shuddered, stared at Liang Ren, but he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. It had nothing to do with the intention of drinking, so this uncle just couldn't turn his head.
Liang Ren was very happy and asked you to go alone without bringing me. He smiled slightly, then hit the uncle, pushed a box over his hand, opened it, and there was a stack of silver notes inside.
"This is 20 million. I will give it to her in your name. Please listen to me. This is a military order! If I can't do it, I will use your military law!"
Guo Yuren jumped up conditionally, lowered his head and raised his hand, took the box with both hands, raised his head again, and stuttered: "This, is this true?"
"Which bastard is this? She sells jewelry. You don't know about such a big thing!" Liang Ren couldn't go to see Zhu Zhou, and listened to Liang Wen and Liang Wu's good words in the study. He put away the jewelry purchased from Chengping Bo Mansion and planned to give it to Liang Bao slowly.
"This is, buy Xixian...this is like this." When Guo Yuren's thoughts were smooth, his passion was full of heart, making his face flushed instantly.
The Lu Palace can uproot his home, Chang Jiaqi's home... and others can treat the Lu Palace the same way.
There are few words in history that the bankrupt royal family is said to be like this, but it is not uncommon for poor and declining nobles.
If there is no salt mine in the Lu Palace, there will be no soldiers and horses; if there is no soldiers and horses, there will be no ambition; if there is no ambition, there will be an extermination of the clan.
Guo Yuren looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes: "My sister, it's so amazing!"
