Chapter 285 The prince insisted on sending me off.
"Why are you pretending to be innocent?" Li sneered, "My wife just sent someone to call you, why didn't you come?"
Li was indeed furious. Song was an elder in the mansion, higher in rank than Wenjiu, and even though she was injured, she would rush to him even if he summoned her.
What was she supposed to be doing, warming the wine? She had even asked Lai Shou, the eunuch beside her, to come and fetch her. She hadn't even bothered to see him, and had just dismissed him. This was like trampling on her dignity!
Does she think she is as easy a target as the Song family?
Wen Jiu continued to blink harmlessly: "Concubine, I told you that you must serve Lord Beile."
"Warm the wine!!!" Li suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Do you think I dare not touch you?"
"Shh!" Wenjiu put his finger to his lips and shushed: "Concubine, please be quiet. The prince is sleeping."
Li: "Let go...! You're talking nonsense. Where is Lord Beile?"
Wen Jiu frowned slightly: "Is Concubine's hearing a little bit bad? I told you, Prince is sleeping in there."
Li's face gradually turned cold, and she stared at the warm wine intently. After a long time, she suddenly smiled and said, "If you say so, then so be it. However, this little thing does not require the prince to know.
"Dong Chan, what do you think should be done for someone who commits insubordination and injures others in the backyard with a sharp knife?"
Dong Chan stepped forward and said, "To answer the concubine's question, according to the rules, the lightest punishment is fifty strokes of the cane, and the worst is beating to death. Song Gege's rank is higher than Miss Wen's, so Miss, this is a serious crime."
Song lowered her head and said nothing. She wished Wenjiu wouldn't see her. Of course, she also hoped Li had the ability to kill Wenjiu.
Li nodded and said reluctantly, "You don't know the rules, so there's no need to punish him too harshly. Forty lashes will do. Come, beat him up."
Forty fights are enough to kill a person.
"Hey? Wait." Wen Jiu stopped everyone: "I never hurt Song Gege, how come Song Gege was injured?"
As he said this, he looked at Song with an innocent look on his face: "Sister Song, did I hurt you?"
Song looked at Wenjiu's extremely beautiful face and was immediately furious. How could this woman be so shameless? It was a pity that she could say such words.
"Song, think it over first!"
Song Gege was so worried that she almost tore the handkerchief into pieces. Finally, she made a decision and said, "She hit me. This is the wound."
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves.
After all, Li still has the Second Prince, and the prince has doted on her for many years, so she can't afford to offend him.
As for Wen Jiu and his partner, they have already fallen out, so it doesn't matter if they offend each other again.
Furthermore, she knew that Fu Jin had drugged Wen Jiu, and she was afraid that she would not be able to have children in this life.
What if I gain favor after warming the wine?
No flower lasts forever; a woman favored today will inevitably lose it tomorrow. No matter how powerful she is, she is still a childless woman, destined to a miserable old age.
Wen Jiu laughed when he heard this: "Song Gege, you said I hit you. You should explain clearly why I hit you? And what did I use to hit you?"
Song immediately said, "You were angry that I had appropriated your servants, so you attacked me. You hit me with a long black whip."
Wen Jiu's face looked even more aggrieved: "It was Song Gege who embezzled my people first. The master asked me to take them back. What's wrong with that? Why did he whip me?
Besides, have you seen the whip? What does it look like?
As soon as these words were spoken, the servants around Wen Jiu naturally fell silent.
The people following behind Li looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Song was a little anxious: "Warm the wine! Don't try to quibble. Do you think you can fool everyone in front of everyone?"
Niu Pozi immediately agreed: "What my princess said is right, she used a whip to beat our princess!"
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Look, Concubine, it's just the master and the servant who are talking. How can that count? I really don't have a whip, so how can I use it to beat people?"
If you don't believe me, you can search here. As long as you can find the whip, I will admit it."
"What are you standing there for? Go find her quickly! She just came back not long ago, she must not have had time to hide anything!" Song's voice was also a little sharp.
If she couldn't find it, she might be framed. Song was so anxious that her face turned pale.
Wen Jiu spread his hands nonchalantly and said, "Everyone, please feel free to do as you please. But don't go to the master bedroom. Lord Beile is resting in there."
Not long after, several eunuchs came out with strange expressions on their faces.
"Have you found it?" Song asked immediately.
The young eunuchs all shook their heads, and the leader said, "Concubine, Princess, we've searched everywhere except the master bedroom, and haven't found the whip. Only these few boxes remain."
"She must have locked the whip in the box." Song said, "There's definitely something wrong with the big lock on this box."
Everyone looked towards the box at once.
"Warm the wine and open the box." said Li.
Wen Jiu's expression was strange: "...Do you really want to see it?"
Li narrowed her eyes slightly: "Don't try to play tricks, open it quickly!"
Wen Jiu: "...there's really nothing to see."
After hearing what Wenjiu said, Li felt more and more that the things inside must be extraordinary.
"Open!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wenjiu thought for a moment and took out his key.
Before he could open the door, the key was snatched away by Song Gege.
Wenjiu didn't care and let her do as she pleased.
Song Gege impatiently took the key to open the box. After trying several times, she finally opened the box in front of her.
The box had just been opened, and the rising sun was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
Song was shocked by the number of jade jewelry in front of her: "...this...this..."
She couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"This is..." Li's pupils suddenly shrank: "White hairpin? Unparalleled hairpin? And two complete sets of headdresses, Chang Xiangsi and Chang Xiangnian, which have not been seen in the world for a hundred years..."
Li has always been obsessed with jewelry. She has a deep understanding of jewelry. At first glance, she can tell that it is definitely the best of the best.
With this material, even if it is an imitation, it must be priceless.
The director had read ancient books and had seen descriptions of Chang Xiangsi and Chang Xianglian, but he never imagined that there were actually two sets of such jewelry in front of him.
Such intricate carvings and such fine materials can create two complete sets of headwear. From the step-shaking ornaments to the hairpins, to the eyebrow pendants, to the earrings, it is no exaggeration to say that the workmanship is beyond measure.
"Wenjiu, where did you get these valuable items?"
Li couldn't believe it. How could such a valuable thing be seen in a concubine's yard?
"Are these things valuable?" Wen Jiu blinked twice, and suddenly he was furious: "Oh, it's all Prince's fault. I said I didn't need such expensive things, but Prince insisted on giving them to me. And he gave me so many, and no matter how much I tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen..."
[Ding~ Too much hatred was harvested at the same time, count them later~]
