As soon as Qi Nanyan finished speaking, Chunzhi, who was serving Si Jinyue, suddenly spoke:
"My Lord, please forgive me!
This is my distant cousin.
Yesterday, I asked for leave from the princess, saying that I would go out of the house this afternoon to meet my cousin.
I didn't expect that I was so busy that I forgot about it and ended up disturbing His Majesty. It's really my fault.
I am willing to accept the punishment, and I will take the man away first."
As she spoke, she looked at the woman kneeling on the ground and said:
"Cousin, how could you trouble King Mo Ying to bring you into the palace?
Come out with me quickly."
The woman was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she didn't have time to speak.
Si Jinxing stretched out her hand to stop him: "Don't rush to leave."
She glanced at Chunzhi, whose gaze was somewhat evasive, and asked doubtfully:
"I heard that Chunzhi, you were bought by Concubine Zhou from our Si Mansion when you were young and placed in the courtyard of my eldest sister to serve her.
Who knew you'd even found a distant relative? That's great news!
However, this county lady still advises you to be more cautious.
I guess you haven't heard of it yet?
There are so many scammers in Jianzhou City now!
It turned out that they were using the pretense of recognizing relatives to deceive those who sold themselves to the maids in the rich and powerful houses.
Now you tell me, who is this person from, who is in his family,
Do you know her name?
Right now, there happened to be Prince Mo Ying, His Royal Highness Prince Rui, His Royal Highness Prince Jing, and the Prime Minister!
Any one of them can go to the Ministry of Revenue and ask them to do a thorough investigation for you!"
When Chunzhi heard this, her face turned pale and she didn't know how to start for a moment!
The woman kneeling on the ground, although a little frightened, immediately defended herself:
"County Lady, I am a decent woman from a good family. Why do you need the princes and the prime minister to go to the Ministry of Revenue to check?
I am from Jianzhou, how dare I deceive a maid?
This time I came here just to get the silver back!"
After hearing this, Chunzhi became extremely anxious!
At this moment, she really wanted to throw the purse at the woman's face and drive her out of the house!
She never expected that a lowly person like an ant would dare to come to the gate of the palace to ask for money!
She opened her mouth and was about to pull the purse down, but she saw King Mo Ying glance at her!
The words that Chunzhi was about to say were stuck in her throat!
Qi Nanling understood something at this time. She looked at the man and asked:
"What silver do you want to get? But someone in this house bought something from you and didn't pay for it?"
When Si Jinyue heard this, she quickly said:
"I bought her things and haven't paid yet."
She then said to the young woman:
"Come here, I'll give you the silver. Take the silver and leave the house."
As soon as these vague words were spoken, everyone looked in the direction of the voice, but they were so shocked that they were speechless!
Si Jinyue's face, which used to be bright and pretty, was now so swollen that it looked unrecognizable as a human face...
Seeing this, Si Jinxing couldn't help but think of the scene in "Flirting Scholar", where Sister Qiuxiang was beaten into a pig's head.
Mo Yun is truly his master's right-hand man. He is so unsympathetic and ruthless, and he has won her heart deeply.
She lowered her eyes slightly and pinched Qi Moli's fingers tightly. It turned out that it was really difficult to hold back laughter...
Si Jinxing managed to hold back her laughter, but Concubine Liu on the other side couldn't help but giggle.
She really loves to see the hustle and bustle in this flower hall!
Humph, Si Jinyue relies on the fact that she is the queen and acts superior all day long. I wonder who she is pretending for!
Now, she is in big trouble! Tsk tsk...
She was just about to get closer to Concubine Zheng and say a few words, but suddenly she saw the prince looking at her with a sullen face.
Concubine Liu's heart tightened and she quickly fell silent, but she didn't dare look at Si Jinyue again, for fear that she would not be able to hold back and laugh out loud again.
No one would believe what Si Jinyue said.
First her maid said it was a distant relative, and later she said it was because he bought something but didn’t pay?
Anyone can tell from her confusing and nonsensical remarks that she is guilty!
Qi Nanyan ignored her and looked directly at the kneeling woman, and asked in a deep voice:
"Tell me, what are you here for?"
At this moment, he really wanted to strangle Si Jinyue to death!
He didn't know what others were thinking, but at this moment, he had already seen it clearly!
The poisoning of Liu Fangzhi must be related to Si Jinyue!
Qi Nanyue was very puzzled. Now that she was pregnant, he had given her the honor that a princess deserved!
I thought she would be more at ease and wait for the birth of the little prince in three months, but I didn't expect that she would cause such a murder lawsuit!
If he had only harmed a girl from an ordinary family, he would have just paid some compensation.
But the one who is in trouble now is the most beloved granddaughter of the current prime minister!
What should I do?
The woman kneeling on the ground was a little panicked at this time. She regretted very much that she should not have taken this trip.
She rested her head on the ground and said hurriedly:
"Reporting to the prince, I worked in the princess's courtyard for a whole day, but was fired at noon today.
The young woman thought that even if she only worked for a day, she should be paid.
Then I thought that the palace should be the place where rules are most respected, so I plucked up the courage to come back and ask.
Just then, the door curtain was lifted, and Qing Chan dragged the unconscious Ye Wan'er into the hall.
Si Jinxing glanced at Ye Wan'er, who was covered in blood, and suddenly thought of what happened two years ago...
Si Jinyue used this method today!
A strange maid, after finishing her work, disappeared...
What a great way to do it!
She frowned slightly and asked:
"What did you do this afternoon?"
The woman thought for a moment and said:
“Just follow the instructions of the maid in the princess’ room and first shovel away the snow in the corner of the courtyard.
Later, she was taken to the garden to greet the young ladies from various families, but…"
Zheng Ranran, who had not spoken a word before, suddenly spoke up and asked:
“Why don’t you continue?
Just what?
She turned her eyes slightly, glanced at Si Jinyue who was trembling all over, and continued:
“Greet the young ladies?
Then tell me, which lady did you entertain in the garden and what happened?
Or, who did you see?"
She paused slightly, pointed her finger, and asked in a cold voice, "But her?"
Zheng Ranran's cold voice made the woman on the ground look up and look in the direction of her finger.
However, this sight frightened her so much that she screamed!
