Chapter 69 Big and Small Kings
Only then did Mother Huang realize that the lady was coming for her.
She slumped to her knees and said, "Madam, I am innocent! Although it is true that I went to Qixia Courtyard today, I swear to heaven that I never touched your bracelet. Please understand."
On the couch, Qin was extremely anxious.
She knows best what kind of person Huang's mother is.
This bitch Xie Changning was clearly targeting the people around her. What on earth did she want to do?
Xie Changning scoffed. "If swearing is effective, I'm afraid there won't be a single man left in this world. Come on! Search Mama Huang's body first, then search her room. I don't believe that a bracelet that good could have grown wings and flown away."
She paused and said, "Don't panic, Madam Huang. If you are truly wronged, I will apologize to you personally."
Mother Huang, “…”
Her face was ashen and she couldn't utter a word.
Does it matter whether she took the bracelet or not?
The important thing is that the lady has said so, and we will be able to find the bracelet soon.
Housekeeper Zhao brought people to search her room, and Mother Du brought people to search her body. She knelt on the ground motionless.
After a while, Mother Du found nothing. "Madam, she didn't hide it on her body, she must be hiding it in the room."
Xie Changning nodded slightly.
"Wuwu..." Qin cried anxiously. Where was Lan Yue? And where were those children? Why hadn't they come yet? Was she just going to let Xie Changning bully her like this?
She is now really crying out to heaven and earth but no one is helpful.
Less than a cup of tea later, Butler Zhao walked in holding a bracelet. "To answer Madam, the bracelet is indeed hidden in Madam Huang's room. It turns out that she was the one who stole Madam's bracelet."
"Madam, even if the bracelet is in my room, it cannot prove that I stole it. Someone must have framed me. Please help me, Madam!" Mother Huang was very panicked. She didn't know what Madam wanted to do to her after she had put in so much effort to stage such a scene.
"You are just a slave, why would anyone frame you? Now that we have caught you red-handed, you still refuse to confess the truth. It shows that you have no remorse at all. Come here! Take her away and interrogate her strictly." Xie Changning said in a very cold tone. She was not sure whether Mother Huang knew what happened that year.
More than 20 years have passed, and the people around Qin have changed several times. Now the one who has been with her the longest is Mother Huang.
Even if she doesn't know what happened back then, Mother Huang must know something.
"Woo woo..." When Qin heard Xie Changning ask someone to take Huang's mother away, she shouted excitedly, but unfortunately she couldn't say a word.
Qin was accompanied by two old women and four maids, all of whom were her people.
Xie Changning glanced at them calmly. "Mother Huang is a shady person, and there's no guarantee they'll harbor evil intentions. And now that the old lady is like this, even if something is missing, she can't tell. Send them all away and bring two more capable people over to the old lady."
What is a proper person?
Of course it's hers.
She wanted to turn Qin into a bird in a cage and cut off all her connections with the outside world.
As for these people, they also need to be interrogated thoroughly. What if we can get something useful out of them?
"Please spare our lives, madam!" Several people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy desperately. Butler Zhao was about to send someone to drag them away.
"Stop it, Xie Changning. Who gave you the courage to touch the people around your mother?" At this moment, Shen Lanyue strode in. She had a veil covering her face and looked at Xie Changning arrogantly.
If you don’t know, you would think she is the owner of the Marquis’ Mansion!
Seeing her coming, Qin sobbed and cried out loud. Thank God Lan Yue finally came, otherwise she would have been bullied to death by Xie Changning.
"Don't be afraid, mother. I'm here! No one can take advantage of you." Shen Lanyue walked quickly towards Qin.
Without Xie Changning saying anything, Emperor Zhao ignored Shen Lanyue and ordered people to drag those people away.
After living in the Marquis' Mansion for many years, he can still distinguish between the big and small princes.
I am nothing now!
If the lady is unhappy, she can kick her out at any time.
Seeing that Butler Zhao didn't give her any face at all, Shen Lanyue instantly became furious, "You disrespectful dog slave, how dare you disobey my order? Come on! Drag him out and beat him to death immediately."
Mother Yu couldn't help but worry for her.
Chen Lanyue howled, but seeing no one paid any attention to her, she rushed to Xie Changning in a rage, pointed at her nose and cursed, "It's all because of you, you vicious woman, you've let these slave dogs run wild..."
"Pa!" Before she could finish her words, Xie Changning raised his hand and slapped her. Her brows were lazy and a bit cold. "You, what did you call me just now?"
"Xie Changning, you dare to hit me?" Shen Lanyue was stunned for a moment after being slapped unexpectedly, then she pounced on him and was about to fight back.
Two guards rushed over and held her down.
"Who allowed you to touch me? Take your dirty hands away from me immediately..." Shen Lanyue was still shouting.
Xie Changning looked down at her and casually lifted the veil from her face, revealing her hideous face.
Shen Lanyue screamed, "No, no one of you is allowed to look!"
Xie Changning gave Mother Du a look, and Mother Du immediately handed her a small and exquisite mirror.
"Chen Lanyue, open your eyes and take a good look at yourself. What right do you have to yell at me? If it weren't for you, would mother be like this? You are not filial to your mother, and you don't respect me as your eldest sister-in-law. The Marquis' Mansion cannot keep someone like you."
Since her injury, Shen Lanyue has never looked in the mirror again. This is the first time she has seen her appearance clearly.
In the bronze mirror, the face was hideous and terrifying, like a ghost walking at night. Shen Lanyue was so frightened that she screamed, "Ahhh... take it away, take it away quickly..."
She's not like that.
Mother Yu came to see Xie Changning twice today.
The reason why Xie Changning left Shen Lanyue alone was that he was waiting for her to make a fuss.
"Someone come! Drag her out and never let her set foot in the Marquis' Mansion again." She didn't want to keep idle people. If it was a well-behaved and obedient dog, it would be fine.
Two guards dragged Shen Lanyue away.
Shen Lanyue struggled desperately, "This is my home too. Xie Changning, what right do you have to chase me away? You are the one who should get out, because no one in this family welcomes you..."
"You may have forgotten that the entire mansion belongs to me now." Xie Changning glanced at her indifferently.
Shen Lanyue's face froze. She then remembered, but it was too late.
She hysterically called out to Qin, "Mother, mother..."
But what's the use of this?
What else can Qin do besides humming a few times?
Oh, and she cries.
For example, at this moment, she was crying and could only watch her daughter being driven out without saying a word.
With one less annoying person, Xie Changning felt much more relieved.
Butler Zhao brought his men and dumped Shen Lanyue at the door of the Marquis's mansion. Afraid that others would say something bad about the Madam, he said loudly, "Aunt, it's not enough that the old Madam is paralyzed in bed because of you. You even dared to point at the Madam's nose and curse her, making her faint from anger. The Marquis's mansion really can't keep someone like you, otherwise, the old Madam and the Madam will be angry to death by you sooner or later!"
With his words, even if she was kicked out, it was Shen Lanyue's own fault and she couldn't blame anyone else.
Soon the door of the Marquis' Mansion was closed mercilessly.
"Xie Changning is fine, when did she faint? This is nonsense, open the door for me..." No matter how Shen Lanyue knocked on the door, no one paid any attention to her.
Mother Yu couldn't help but persuade: "Madam, forget it!"
"Pa!" Shen Lanyue slapped her in anger.
Mother Yu didn't dare to say another word. She thought to herself, if it were her, she would also kick the lady out. After all, every family has ancestors!
The Princess's Mansion.
Shen Jingyun finally met the eldest princess.
At this moment, she knelt humbly in front of the eldest princess and said, "Your Highness, everything I said is true. My grandmother said it with her own mouth. That vicious woman Xie Changning had an affair with Pei Zhi. This is absolutely true."
