Chapter 65: He could kill a girl on the spot.
Just now when Jun Wenshu wrongly accused Deng Youning of stealing the phoenix hairpin, the palace maid arranged by the Queen Mother reported the matter to the police.
The Queen Mother had foresight and was afraid that someone would cause trouble today, so she sent her own people to infiltrate the palace maids and report the situation to her at any time.
Unexpectedly, news came that Deng Youning was bullied.
The two gray-haired old men must come to uphold justice!
"Your Highness and I pay our respects to the Queen Mother."
Everyone knelt down again in a huge crowd.
The Queen and Jun Wenshu, members of the royal family, simply bowed slightly in greeting.
"Grandson Chen Yi pays homage to the Imperial Grandmother."
Jun Chenyi also stepped forward to pay his respects.
There are some misunderstandings between the two generations.
So Jun Chenyi doesn't like this grandmother.
Similarly, the Queen Mother also looked down on the Ninth Brother, believing that he was a scheming and evil-minded person since childhood.
Fortunately, she still has the Han family blood in her body, and she doesn't look like her good sister Han Qiongyue at all.
"Why is the Queen Mother here?"
The queen hurried forward and asked with a smile on her face.
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at her. She was here too, yet she indulged her daughter in misbehaving?
It's really outrageous.
"If I hadn't come, the phoenix hairpin that I personally gave to Princess Youning would have been said to have been stolen by her!"
The Queen Mother spoke in a sarcastic tone, glancing at Jun Wenshu from time to time.
Jun Wenshu naturally noticed the empress dowager's gaze, and lowered her head helplessly, not daring to make eye contact with her.
"Lemon~"
Han Qiongyue also knew that Deng Youning had been wronged, and walked to her side with heartache.
At just one glance, she saw the finger marks on Deng Youning's snow-white cheek.
She glanced at the Deng family members in the crowd, and was furious to see how they were all so submissive and wanted to draw a clear line between themselves and Deng Youning.
"Grandma, I shouldn't have come here today."
"I am like a plague god. Wherever I am, there will be right and wrong."
Deng Youning lowered her eyes sadly in self-pity. She rubbed the slap marks on her face with the back of her hand, which were particularly conspicuous under the bright sunlight.
The Queen Mother also saw it clearly.
"Queen, you hit someone without knowing right from wrong. Do you know that you are wrong?"
She acted like a queen mother and scolded in a dignified manner without getting angry.
The queen felt a chill in her heart and immediately knelt down to admit her mistake.
But she was unwilling to give in and continued to argue.
"Mother, if Shu'er hadn't had a big bump on her forehead, I wouldn't have been so anxious."
"Shu'er, come here quickly and let the Empress Dowager see your head."
Jun Wenshu stepped forward obediently.
But the Queen Mother didn't even bother to raise her eyes.
"I know the whole process. If Shu'er hadn't wronged Ying'er and Ningning first, why would she have done so?"
"Isn't it just a lost hairpin? You can even blame your own sister. Shu'er, you disappoint me so much!"
The Queen Mother's tone was still plain, but one could hear an innate majesty in her voice.
It's like the chess player feeling helpless about having to destroy a chess piece.
Although it is reluctant, you must do it.
"Shu'er, go back and reflect on your mistakes for three months."
The Queen Mother wants to stop Jun Wenshu from walking.
Jun Wenshu felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. She couldn't believe that her own grandmother would punish her like this for a stranger!
Without waiting for her to refute, the Queen Mother glanced at the Queen and said, "You haven't apologized for slapping Princess Youning just now, right?"
The queen was also shocked.
How could she, as the queen of a country, apologize to a little girl like Deng Youning in front of so many people?
Does she still want to maintain her dignity as the queen?
How will she govern the harem and rule the country from now on? !
Deng Youning had never expected that the Queen Mother would stand up for him to this extent.
"It is You Ning's fortune to be blessed by the Queen Mother and disciplined by the Empress."
"It was my daughter from the Deng family who made the mistake first. The Queen was right to teach her a lesson. The Queen Mother is wise enough to understand. The Queen does not need to apologize."
Deng Zheng rushed out of the crowd and tried his best to say nice things so that the queen would not have to apologize.
It also prevents the Deng family from having any grudges against the Queen.
Deng Zheng knew that if he favored the queen, it would be tantamount to openly opposing the queen mother.
But the Queen Mother is old, and won’t the world of Dongji Kingdom belong to the Queen and the Crown Prince in the future?
You can only choose the one that is more beneficial.
"You Ning, why don't you come forward and thank the Queen for her teachings?"
Deng Youning has already seen clearly that the Deng family will definitely stand on the side of the Queen.
She clenched her fists and looked helplessly at the Queen Mother and Han Qiongyue.
The hearts of everyone present were like taut strings.
Deng Zheng's move was indeed unwise.
Can the Queen really protect him if he openly goes against the Queen Mother?
The Queen Mother was so angry at Deng Zheng that her eyes were glaring at her, and Han Qiongyue was so angry at her own son that she beat her chest and stamped her feet.
With such a head of the family, even if Ningning does nothing, the Deng family will decline sooner or later!
"Deng Zheng, are you saying that the Queen Mother made a mistake in seeking justice for your daughter?"
Han Qiongyue suppressed the emotions churning in her heart and asked loudly.
"Mother, reason is not on Youning's side."
"As a subject, you openly contradicted and provoked the Seventh Princess, and were disrespectful to the Empress. After the Saint's Birthday, this Duke will punish her by making her kneel in the ancestral temple for a month."
Not to mention offending the Queen Mother, today, just to please the Queen and the Seventh Princess, he would even kill a girl on the spot!
Han Qiongyue stared at him steadily until the Queen Mother angrily said "Return to the palace", then she came to her senses.
Looking at the Queen Mother's back as she walked away, the Queen was very proud.
She walked up to Deng Zheng and said with relief: "I can give Lian'er and the Deng family a chance. After the Emperor's birthday, I will ask His Majesty to allow the daughter of the Deng family and the daughter of the Jian family to enter the Eastern Palace as concubines at the same time. Whoever can give birth to an heir first will be given the position of the main wife!"
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and everyone standing nearby could hear it clearly.
Deng Zheng also proudly bowed to express his gratitude.
Jun Wenshu glanced at Deng Youning with the arrogance of a winner in her eyes.
"The villain succeeds!"
Jun Chenyi was so angry that he muttered.
They moved closer to Han Qiongyue and kept a distance from the others.
Han Qiongyue herself was so angry about her son that she had a headache, but she did not forget to comfort Deng Youning.
"Grandma, don't worry. Didn't the Queen Mother just want to grant a marriage to Deng Xuelian and He Xiangzhe?"
"Once this is accomplished tomorrow, Deng Xuelian will no longer have a chance to stay in the Eastern Palace."
Deng Youning didn't think she had lost. She wanted to make longer-term plans, so she let these people be arrogant for a few days.
The higher you praise them, the more painful it will be when they fall!
"I have to go and apologize to the Queen Mother."
"The Queen Mother is here to help us out out of kindness, but your father who doesn't know what's going on..."
Speaking of Deng Zheng, Han Qiongyue, who was as fierce as a tiger, actually shed tears.
This time, Deng Zheng went to extremes, and Han Qiongyue finally made up her mind and no longer cared about the relationship between mother and son.
The day when the cause of death of his eldest son Deng Ren was announced was the day when Deng Zheng reaped the consequences of his own actions!
After Han Qiongyue left, Jun Chenyi didn't know how to comfort Deng Youning for a moment.
Both her biological parents treated her like this, Ningning's life is so miserable!
"Cousin, if you feel uncomfortable staying in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, you can return to the Han family, or if you don't mind, you can stay in my Ninth Prince's Mansion for a while."
He really didn't want to see Deng Youning being bullied anymore.
Deng Youning shook his head indifferently, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Don't worry, they are no match for me!"
