Chapter 450: Produce evidence of your daughter's innocence
Pingxi Bo argued back with his face red and neck angry.
He had listened to his wife complain all night long last night about how unreasonable the people in the Shangshu Mansion were. At first, he had not taken it seriously, but now he had seen how shameless this family was.
A wealthy clan like theirs had never seen such a scoundrel's attitude.
"Everyone in the yard is watching them. How could they lie? Even if they are lying, the maids around Mu Yao followed them. Pingxi Bo could ask the maids around Mu Yao if Mu Yao was jealous of the concubine and pushed her away. How could our Shangshu Mansion be so blind to marry such a jealous woman?" The old lady of the Shangshu Mansion's words became more and more unpleasant.
Ping Xibo was so angry that he slammed the table again. "You old lady, there is not a single word of truth in your mouth. It is obvious that the bitch saw Mu Yao and deliberately approached her, then rolled down the stairs herself, just to frame our daughter."
"Do you really think that bitch is any good? She even dares to covet the position of the mistress and even tries to frame her. Such a bitch should be dragged out and beaten to death."
"Pingxi Bo, you said your daughter is innocent. You must produce evidence of your daughter's innocence, otherwise the concubine's child was killed by her." The old lady argued back relentlessly, her face full of greed and cruelty.
"The maids around Yaoyao can all testify that Yaoyao has never done such a thing. It was that bitch who rolled down and dropped the child. Who knows if this bitch had planned this in advance and deliberately framed our Yaoyao. It was only because our Yaoyao was kind-hearted that she agreed to let this bitch in." Pingxi Bo was still angry.
"Pingxibo just said that what our servants said cannot be used as testimony. Similarly, what your servants said cannot be used as testimony. Your servants must be speaking in favor of your family." The old lady repeated what Pingxibo had just said.
Pingxi Bo slammed his hand on the table in anger and glared at the old lady in the Shangshu Mansion. Before he could finish the words on his lips, he heard a burst of shouting from outside, "The Queen is here, the Queen is here."
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the room gradually became subtle.
Some people felt like they had found a life-saving straw, while others began to panic subtly.
Lady Pingxi, her daughter, and the Crown Prince's wife quickly stood up and looked outside eagerly. They had thought that only the emperor and people from the Imperial Household Department would come, but they never expected that the Empress would also come. The Empress had come out to appease them before, so she must be on their side.
Regardless of who the Queen supports, the Queen is fair and will never allow evil people to run rampant.
Thinking of this, Lady Pingxi and the Crown Prince looked at the old lady of the Shangshu Mansion in unison.
The old lady in the Shangshu Mansion had a barely perceptible panic in her eyes. She stood up with the help of her daughter-in-law on crutches. Her hands holding the crutches were shaking slightly because of her nervousness. After all, their family had been reprimanded by the emperor for what they had done, and the queen's coming this time might not be good for their family.
Although the queen appears to be kind to the outside world, she handles things just like the emperor, with cruel and unscrupulous methods. Otherwise, how could the concubines in the harem be dismissed from the palace.
Might as well just send one *** over.
Although *** is a royal relative, her brain is not as good as the empress's, but she is easier to fool than the empress. If she can fool her casually when the time comes, maybe she can keep half of the dowry of Pingxibo Mansion.
But the Queen is more difficult to deal with. Now all I can do is avoid getting into trouble.
The Shangshu's wife supported the old lady, but she was also a little panicked.
It had just snowed and the roads outside were slippery. Why did the queen leave the palace?
Wen's body trembled slightly, and she immediately lowered her eyes and hid behind Kong Lin in fear.
Kong Lin noticed Wen's movements and immediately held Wen's hand with a distressed look. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't be afraid. The Queen is a righteous person. As long as we haven't done anything evil, the Queen will naturally not punish us. On the contrary, those who have done evil will wait to be punished by the Queen. The Queen comforted them before, and it must be that the Queen was deceived by them. When the Queen knows the truth, some people don't know how unlucky they will be. We can only watch."
As he spoke, Kong Lin couldn't help but look at Mu Yao, his eyes full of disdain.
Although Kong Lin deliberately lowered his voice, everyone in the hall could hear what he said.
Especially when she noticed Kong Lin's gaze, Mu Yao's heart trembled. Although she didn't care anymore, her heart still ached when she saw his disgusted look.
Maybe it's because I've loved him before, so I care about what he says.
In addition to the pain, he was more disappointed with Kong Lin.
Once upon a time, Kong Lin treated her just as he treated Wen Shi. He would carefully take care of her eating preferences and whether she was adapting well at home. He would also accompany her to meet her grandmother, fearing that his mother would make her, the new bride, behave properly.
It turns out that all good things can be discarded.
"The Empress is a sensible person, how could she be easily deceived? I remember that someone said that the Empress was unreasonable, but she was severely punished by the Emperor." The Crown Prince's wife supported Mu Yao and said something in a sarcastic tone.
This was indeed the case. The Shangshu family had no way to refute it and could only keep silent like quails.
Wen hid behind Kong Lin, carefully pulling his sleeve with her fingers, and whispered, "My husband, this is my first time meeting the Queen, and I'm a little scared."
Kong Lin comforted Wen, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. No matter what happens, I will protect you."
"I have met the Queen Mother before. She is a very gentle person and she is pregnant now. She will not make things difficult for others for the sake of accumulating virtue for the child. Besides, you have not done anything wrong. If you are really scared later, hide behind me." Kong Lin patted Wen's hand.
As he was speaking, Gu Jianchu, supported by Zhuxi and Zhuxia, came all the way to the flower hall.
Behind Gu Jianchu were his mistress Xie Qingzhi, as well as a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
The Imperial Guards and the Imperial City Bureau surrounded the entire Shangshu Mansion, fearing that something might happen to the Empress.
In addition, Shuangjiang brought people to guard the courtyard, while Wenzhu and Chongfeng followed Gu Jianchu into the flower hall, so that they could protect the queen's safety closely. They knew kung fu, and even if something unexpected happened, they would react faster than those palace servants.
As soon as Gu Jianchu, Xie Qingzhi and others entered the room, people from Shangshu Mansion and Pingxibo Mansion knelt on the ground in unison.
