Aunt Su wiped her tears.
"Just now, there were only three of us here, and you can see that Yukou was staring at her intently, with his eyes almost falling on her.
Now the jade button is missing. If you didn't steal it, could it be that the jade button ran away on its own?"
Nangong Jiu sneered and said, "Which eye of yours saw me so intently? It's just a broken jade buckle."
The imposing aura without even getting angry frightened Chen Guiquan so much that he dropped to his knees. He was about to say something but was stopped by Nangong Jiu. Madam Chen also knelt down and dared not say a word.
Nangong Jiu looked at Chen Guiquan who kept wiping his sweat.
He continued to speak to Aunt Su: "Next, are you going to say that if you don't take out the jade buckle, you will search me?
Then, confidently, you searched my little pocket for the jade button?"
Do you really think I'm a two-year-old kid who knows nothing about the world?
When Aunt Su saw that Chen Guiquan and Madam Chen had both knelt down, she finally realized that something was wrong.
But things have come to this point, and it is difficult to back down. Even if I am wrong, I must find the jade button so that I can be right.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he said with a stiff upper lip, "You, you are guilty as a thief, and you are confessing yourself without being beaten."
"In that case, let's search!"
Aunt Zhang was so frightened that she pulled at the corner of Aunt Su's clothes and shook her head.
Aunt Su didn't believe that a two-year-old kid could cause any big trouble.
She had not moved at all, so even if she had just moved the jade button, it was only a small space.
"Miss Liu, don't blame me then!"
Chen Guiquan almost fainted from anger: "Su Yuqing, stop it!"
Aunt Su looked at Chen Guiquan and said, "Master, at this point, I can only move forward. There is no way I can stop."
He gritted his teeth and stepped forward, searching from Nangong Jiu's shoulders to his heels, but found nothing.
They dragged the man away again and searched the chair that Nangong Jiu had sat on. They turned the chair over and over and searched it several times, even searching Xiao Wang's body.
Xiao Wang couldn't stand her touching him randomly, and all the hair on his body stood up. He wanted to shake her away, but was stopped in time by Nangong Jiu.
"Xiao Wang, cooperate obediently!"
In the end, they searched every possible place, but still couldn't find the jade button.
Aunt Su's face was filled with disbelief: "Where did you hide the jade button? I clearly put it in your pocket."
Nangong Jiu snorted coldly: "That's what you call confessing without being asked!"
Aunt Su was so irritated that she lost all her rationality. She pinched Nangong Jiu's hand and said, "Where did you hide the jade button? It's my mother's heirloom. I can't throw it away."
"Please beg me, maybe I'll soften my heart and tell you."
"I am the concubine of the Chen family after all. How could I possibly beg you for help with a two-year-old child?"
"Is your concubine in the Chen Mansion so great? If you don't want one, then find one yourself."
Nangong Jiu glanced at the whole family with cold eyes.
"Master Chen, Madam Chen, I want you to see the whole story so that you won't accuse me of targeting them.
After reading this, tell me what crime they deserve."
After saying that, with the cooperation of Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing, he waved his hand and a magic mirror appeared in front of them.
The magic mirror recreated the entire process.
Aunt Su and Aunt Zhang were completely devastated: "This princess? You are actually a princess?!"
"Yes, I am Princess Nangong Jiu of the current dynasty. My family calls me Jiuer. My father, the second prince, has the surname Liu, so I think it's not wrong to call me Liu Jiuer."
"This princess is just a two-year-old little kid. I have no grudges against you in the past, and I have no hatred against you in the present.
As soon as you entered the door, you all looked at me with disdain, thinking that I was a poor ghost who came to extort money.
Even if I am from a poor family, what does this have to do with you?
Poor people should be respected as they have great ambitions despite their poverty.
And you, being the concubine of a fifth-rank official, are so proud of yourself, thinking you are superior to others."
"This has only been less than an hour, so let's forget all your unreasonable behavior. This princess is generous and will not take it to heart.
But you absolutely shouldn't have put such a rag on this princess and accused her of being a thief...
Just imagine, if this princess were an ordinary two-year-old child, ignorant and naive, she would definitely be carrying this stigma today.
How do you expect a two-year-old child to survive?"
"You have such evil thoughts, no compassion at all, no kindness to respect the elderly or the young.
Since that's the case, from tomorrow on, you will be forced to beg on the streets for a living. Anyone who dares to help you will be punished with the same crime!"
Nangong Jiu paused and said to Chen Guiquan, "Master Chen, do you have any objection to my treating your concubine this way?"
Chen Guiquan's face was filled with panic as he knelt on the ground. "They brought this upon themselves. The princess's punishment is fair, and I have no objection!"
“Since there is no objection, let’s implement it starting tomorrow.
You should know clearly what crime your Chen family has committed by bullying this princess.
If you don't want to be implicated, go and explain yourself to the ministers tomorrow.
"Look at you, you're already old, isn't it good to live a quiet life? You find this kind of person to cause trouble for yourself and your family. Do you think your life is too good?"
Chen Guiquan kowtowed repeatedly: "I will do as you say. I beg the princess to show some mercy and not implicate the Chen family."
Aunt Su fell to her knees in despair.
Aunt Zhang kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Please, Princess, please spare me. We didn't know you were a princess..."
"According to you, the children of ordinary people deserve to be bullied like this? What makes you look down on others? Where does your sense of superiority come from?"
Nangong Jiu looked at Chen Guiquan and his wife again: "You guys take care of yourself!"
After venting his anger, he rode Xiao Wang out of Chen's house.
Xiao Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, if you stay at the Chen family any longer, I will feel like beating them up."
"Beat up people like this and dirty our hands. Okay, mission accomplished, let's go back home!"
"Okay!"
We return home happily.
However, there were bursts of angry curses and crying coming from the Chen Mansion.
"I greeted you right from the start and told you to treat her well and not neglect her. I also reminded you several times along the way.
As a result, you not only neglected it, but also framed me!
She's only two years old, why are you doing this? Speak, what's going on?"
Aunt Zhang said weakly, "When she first came, we saw that she was dressed simply and thought she was just a child from an ordinary family..."
Madam Chen sneered, "Dressing simply? Are you blind?
The clothes she wore were made of the finest moonlight brocade, which was hard to buy even with money.
I have seen nobles wearing it at banquets, but the color of the princess's dress is more low-key."
"It's the legendary Moonlight Brocade? No wonder, we've never even seen it before. His death is well deserved!"
Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Guiquan.
"Master, what do you say we should do now?"
