Chapter 571: Slander and Punishment
The Third Prince's wife felt a pang of anxiety in her heart.
Although she didn't believe in any oaths, she was inexplicably uneasy after hearing what Xie Yingmian said.
Everyone's eyes were on her.
If she refuses, it would be tantamount to admitting it.
If I swear a poisonous oath, what if the Moon God really hears it...
Xie Yingmian said in a faint voice: "Why, you don't dare anymore?"
"If you dare to act and take responsibility, I can still respect you for having backbone."
"It is truly despicable that you dare to do it but not take responsibility for it."
"I believe everyone has a mirror in their heart that can clearly see who is right and who is wrong."
"The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is coming soon, so I won't waste everyone's time because of this little thing."
"Queen, let's go."
The queen looked deeply at the third prince's wife and asked everyone to move on.
The Third Prince's wife breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xie Yingmian didn't insist.
If Xie Yingmian continued to pester her, she would feel uncomfortable even if she didn't believe the oath.
She was secretly annoyed that she shouldn't have offended Xie Yingmian just for the sake of a momentary verbal pleasure.
It would be troublesome if we ruined that person's good deeds.
The moon is very bright tonight.
The palace is filled with various lanterns.
Under the light of the lanterns, it was as bright as day.
Xie Yingmian took in the Third Prince's wife's subtle expressions.
She had just yelled out loudly on purpose to throw the Third Prince's wife off balance, just to observe her micro-expressions.
When the Third Prince's wife spoke harshly to her, her tone was full of certainty and gloating, as if she knew that she was about to be in trouble.
She suspected that the Third Prince's wife knew some inside information.
The Third Prince's wife was really not very scheming, so she was tricked into revealing her true intentions.
She was certain that the Third Prince's wife knew something, and she was also certain who wanted to harm her tonight.
She even located someone based on the glance the Third Prince's wife gave her in panic.
The person that the Third Prince's wife glanced at in panic was none other than Concubine Xing.
Xie Yingmian knew about Concubine Xing, but they had no connection.
Because of Lady Wang and Linglong, she got to know Lady Wang and her sister Lady Xing.
Mrs. Xing is the mistress of the Xing family.
Concubine Xing is a member of the Xing family.
Judging from Mrs. Xing's relationship, she has never had any enmity with the Xing family.
but.
Concubine Xing has another identity - she is the biological mother of the second prince.
The second prince died at her hands.
Xie Yingmian restrained his expression.
If Concubine Xing could be more obedient, she would not take the initiative to find trouble.
If Concubine Xing wanted to attack her, she would not show mercy.
As for the Third Prince's Consort...
She is petty and vindictive.
Xie Yingmian said to Sui Sui in her heart, "Do you like playing tricks?"
Sui Sui is eating snacks.
The snacks were given to it by Xie Yingmian from the table.
Originally, Xie Yingmian wanted Sui Sui to accompany Yu Lingye, but Yu Lingye insisted not to.
The reason was that all the civil and military officials were present in the Jiuxiao Palace, and the emperor would not take action.
On the other hand, on Xie Yingmian's side, the Queen Mother never showed up, claiming to be ill. Who knows what she was planning, and she insisted that Sui Sui follow Xie Yingmian to Fengyi Palace first.
"It's difficult to operate with so many people," said Sui Sui.
"Wait a minute, let me see if my stealth mode works."
Xie Yingmian was shocked: "You still have stealth mode?"
Sui Sui: “Yes, but it’s not very useful.”
"I don't know where the bug is, it always goes wrong."
"Hey, today is pretty good, no bugs."
"Wait, Meibao, I'm going to give her a kick."
Suisui excitedly left the empty stone space.
It kicked the Third Prince's wife in the face.
While kicking, he muttered to himself: "I'll let you threaten my sister."
"Master Sui Sui, I'm going to kick you to death."
"Ah!" The Third Prince's wife suddenly felt someone kicking her in the face.
The kick was so heavy that tears came to her eyes in pain.
"Who, who is kicking me?"
Everyone stopped.
The queen was a little displeased: "What's going on?"
The Third Prince's wife covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty, something kicked me just now."
The Queen looked strange: "Did it kick you in the face?"
The Third Prince's wife nodded: "Yes."
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."
"Just now, I had a quarrel with Xie Yingmian, and then I was hit for no apparent reason. If this is a coincidence, it is too much of a coincidence."
Xie Yingmian raised her eyebrows: "What the Third Prince's Consort said is really interesting."
"I'm far away from you. Not to mention there are several people between us, even if there weren't several people between us, my hand can't reach your face."
"Tell me, how can I hit you in the face, oh no, kick you in the face, in front of everyone, from such a long distance away from you?"
The Third Prince's wife was speechless.
She knew in her heart that it was Xie Yingmian who was behind this.
But she had no evidence.
"Who else could it be but you? You must have used some tricks..."
Bang!
Xie Yingmian didn't tolerate her and slapped her.
"Since you insist on thinking that I hit you, then I'll do as you wish." Xie Yingmian said, "It was indeed me who slapped you. I take responsibility for it."
"As for the kick you received, I didn't do it. Why should I take responsibility for it?"
"If you insist on slandering me, I will beat you every time you slander me."
All the ladies of the clan and officials were stunned.
They are all matrons of aristocratic families, and the methods they use are all soft knives that kill without bloodshed.
It's rare to meet someone like Xie Yingmian who slaps someone directly.
Crude, brutal, but kind of cool.
