Chapter 1823 Extra Story: Love (4)
Mrs. Xiahou's face was ashen.
Insulting the princess, ruining the reputation of the princess, and intending to murder the royal family are all said by her.
"No, no, I didn't, I didn't do anything... I was wronged! My lord, my lord, I was wronged! I didn't do anything to the princess, they, they can all testify!"
Survival instinct, Mrs. Xiahou got up and pointed to the people outside, "They all watched with their own eyes, the concubine didn't touch a finger of the princess!"
The people were silent.
The girl and the boy stood opposite her with indifferent expressions.
Mrs. Xiahou's fingers stopped in the air trembled violently, and her whole body was as cold as if she was in an ice cave.
"Shut up!" Xiahou Zhizhou closed his eyes, then took two steps back and knelt down, "Your wife and daughter are arrogant and ignorant, and offended the princess. If what they did is found to be true, please handle it impartially, sir! Never shirk responsibility!"
After saying these words, Xia Hou felt powerless all over.
How could he not understand his wife and daughter at all? Look at the yamen servants who are still lying on the ground, and then look at the people standing in the hall, you can know what's going on.
A woman from the back house privately used the yamen servants to arrest her in the yamen lobby! Yamen for private use!
There is no way to argue!
Moreover, the person who filed the complaint was the princess of Nanling County, so he dared not take any chances.
The Xiahou Mansion is over.
His official career also stopped here.
"Master? Master?! No, that's not the case, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! The concubine offended the princess, and the concubine can kowtow to the princess to make amends, it's all the fault of the concubine! I beg the princess, forgive me The concubine is ignorant! The princess is kind!" Sensing the meaning behind her master's words, Mrs. Xiahou was completely panicked, and she threw herself at the girl's feet and kowtowed, not even a hint of arrogance at this moment.
The master is the pillar of the family. Once he is charged with a crime as an official, his life will be over! The Xiahou Mansion is also over! Without the master and Xiahou's mansion, what is she, Mrs. Xiahou?
Looking at the scene in front of her, Xia Houzhu's whole body went limp, and she was already frightened into a fool.
Father pleaded guilty, mother kowtowed to others, and the future of Xiahou Mansion was dark.
From cloud to mire, it's just a blink of an eye.
She just wanted to teach those who were rude to her a lesson. She didn't know how it would end up like this...
It's not her fault, it's none of her business!
"Ah!" Covering her ears with her hands, Xia Houzhu screamed, hysterical like crazy.
Pan Ziyi stood with Zhuo Cheng and Quan Zhengchu, his eyes were full of sadness.
After hesitating for a moment, Pan Ziyi finally stepped forward and bowed to the girl, "Princess, may I listen to Cao Min?"
Turning around, Hong Dou looked at the young man in front of him, "What do you want to say?"
Knowing that the girl probably misunderstood his intentions, Pan Ziyi hurriedly said, "Cao Min didn't want to intercede for Mrs. Xiahou and Miss Xiahou. It is right to be punished for making mistakes. I just hope that the princess will learn from her. This matter really has nothing to do with the Lord Zhizhou. The Lord Zhizhou is in office. In the past few years, he has helped the magistrate to manage Hezhou in an orderly manner, and he has made great achievements as an official. If he is wrong, it is only because he neglects his wife and daughter too much, and he is not strict in discipline. The Lord can deal with Lord Zhizhou lightly."
Hearing that the magistrate also stood up, "Princess, that's true."
Hongdou looked at them, and saw that the people at the door didn't hate Xia Hou, but they were mostly regretful, and lowered their eyes, "This princess is suing the matter, and I just want justice. This is also the original intention of the establishment of the Yamen. .This matter will be handled impartially by the magistrate, and the princess has no objection."
"Thank you Princess for your kindness!" Pan Ziyi and the three of them looked at each other with relaxed smiles on their faces.
