Chapter 283: Finally willing to come out?
In the silence, many people were even confused. What was going on? In just a few words, the wife of the Left Prime Minister was arrested and taken away?
What did Madam Xiao say to the young lady from the Xiangfu just now?
While everyone was still recalling the details of what had just happened, the young lady from the Xiangfu Mansion had already screamed with a ferocious look on her face, "Xiao Tu, are you kidding me?"
Sitting on the high seat, Xiao Tu's expression remained the same, lazy and indifferent. Hearing this, he continued fanning himself with his hands and said with a smile, "So what if I'm teasing you? Have you ever killed anyone, or have you done less evil?"
Upon hearing this, the woman stared at her with vicious eyes as if she wanted to eat her alive.
Xiao Tu met her gaze, his smile growing wider. "It's all thanks to you that Wang and your mother were executed. After all, if you hadn't dragged them out and spoken up for them, how could they have ended up like this?"
The smile on her lips revealed blatant malice as she spoke, "Since you are all so united in your opinions about me, I shall certainly give you the same unanimous fate."
The woman lost control and shouted with distorted features, "So you did it all on purpose, bitch, you must not..."
“Bang!”
Before she could finish her curse, a heavy slap landed directly on her face.
"You really think you won't pay the price for insulting the lady over and over again."
The maid who spoke slapped him hard in the face with her backhand.
Xiao Tu waved his hands without even looking at him, "Drag him out and beat him up, don't disturb the guests at the banquet."
"yes."
As the maids spoke, they dragged the woman out, allowing her to scream for help to the Left Prime Minister.
Unfortunately, the Left Prime Minister just watched coldly as his daughter was dragged out of the hall, without saying a word for her!
A daughter who married out of a lower status was of little use to him.
But the daughter is someone else's, but the wife is his own. The Left Prime Minister's wife being taken away is like a slap in the face to him. He can no longer sit still. He stares at Xiao Tu with a cold look in his eyes and says:
"Madam Xiao, no matter what, I, the Prime Minister's wife, am a First-Rank Imperial Consort. You have no evidence, no imperial edict, and yet you imprisoned a First-Rank Consort based solely on my daughter's words. Don't you think your actions are ridiculous?"
As soon as he stood up, the Left Prime Minister's party immediately took action.
Old Taifu Xu immediately spoke up, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right. In a murder trial, witnesses and testimony are essential. No one would convict and arrest someone just because they casually said they killed someone. And the one they arrested was the Prime Minister's wife. This is truly absurd!"
The Minister of Rites also stepped forward and said, "I second the motion. Regardless of whether this case is true or false, this serious murder case is the responsibility of the Dali Temple. Madam Xiao, who are you to interfere and arrest a woman of the imperial court and interrogate her?"
"I second the motion..."
"I second the motion..."
Xiao Tu watched as several high-ranking officials in red robes suddenly appeared, all staring at her fiercely. Her lazy expression immediately changed, sweeping away her previous inattention. She sat up straight with a smile and said, "Oh, the Left Prime Minister has finally come out from behind a woman, but he made me wait so long!"
Upon hearing this, the Left Prime Minister's face darkened and he said in a cold tone, "Madam Xiao, now it is I and the other officials who are asking you a question. You'd better not talk nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tu leaned over the table, curled his lips and glanced at the few people and said, "Lord Zuo Xiang, why are you so anxious? I'm here and I won't run away."
