Chapter 386 We are here to collect debts!
But what did the little princess of Beining mean just now? A cup of tea can make the daughter-in-law of the Di family pregnant next month... Isn't this nonsense?
Guo Lu carefully brought the tea over and called her third aunt in a low voice.
The woman's expression changed instantly, her eyes turned red and she nodded continuously. The corners of her mouth trembled as she looked at Guo Lu's different face.
When the people around saw this scene, they all thought that the third wife of the Di family believed what the little princess said and was excited that her son would have a successor.
Guo Lu handed the tea to her cousin's wife, nodded, held back the tears in her eyes and walked back.
"Hurry up, drink it up, don't leave a drop."
The third wife of the Di family stared at her daughter-in-law without blinking, fearing that she would miss a bite and waste it.
Others don’t know what’s going on with the Princess Regent of the Great Zhou and the two children, but I do know that this cup of tea… is a gift that others can’t even ask for.
Guo Lu's cousin-in-law drank the tea carefully. Although she didn't know why her mother-in-law was so excited, as long as there was a little hope, she would rather drink tea than poison.
The third wife of the Di family was so happy to see her daughter-in-law finish her tea that she didn't know what to say. She stood up and knelt down in front of Bu Ruo and the little girl.
"Thank you, Princess, and thank you, Little Princess, for the tea. My Di family is deeply grateful. We will prepare generous gifts for you and Little Princess tomorrow."
Everyone in the hall opened their mouths wide when watching this scene.
"Is the Third Madam of the Di family really crazy about having a grandson? She gets so happy over a cup of tea. Is she crazy?"
"What do you know? Didn't you hear that little princess from the Great Zhou say that if the daughter-in-law of the Di family drank that cup of tea, she would be pregnant next month?"
"Tsk, who doesn't know how to coax a child? Just two auspicious words made her so happy. If her daughter-in-law doesn't get pregnant next month, she'll hang herself."
After helping the man up, the little girl looked at the man who had made such sarcastic remarks and said, "I don't know if this lady can hang me, but I know you are about to be hanged."
"If I were to say so, the people of Beining are truly open-minded. You gave birth to two sons, and the eldest is surprisingly not your husband's. Does your husband know about this?"
"This old man, do you know anything?"
The old woman was now nearly fifty, and her two sons had already started their own families. Upon hearing the little girl's words, her face turned pale and she shouted sternly, "Little Princess, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I have never done anything to let my master down, and my two sons are his biological children."
"My little princess, if you tell lies, you will be condemned to hell after death. I advise you to do more good deeds."
The little girl nodded seriously and said, "You are wrong, ugly aunt. You can't eat anything you want. It can kill you."
"Oh, and of course I know that lying will lead to tongue-pulling hell. I even helped them pull out their tongues. That was so miserable~"
"You used dishonorable means to marry the old uncle next to you, right? Otherwise, the old uncle next to you would have married your childhood sweetheart who is now your concubine."
"Old uncle, is what I said right?"
Seeing that the official pursed his lips and remained silent, the little girl continued unconcerned, "Old uncle, you were plotted against and pressured by the other family into marrying her, but you were reluctant and hesitant to enter her room. Then you even brought your childhood sweetheart into the mansion as a concubine."
"You've been so close to that concubine that you've been sleeping in her courtyard every day, and this has made the lady next to you unhappy."
"She bribed your servant to put drugs in your tea again, and then you two had a fight, and then she got pregnant, right?"
puff……
The third wife of the Di family couldn't help laughing, and the other officials and women in the hall couldn't help but curl their lips.
Fight...that's a good word.
The official looked at the little girl in shock and nodded: "Little Princess, you are right, it is indeed true."
The girl ignored the woman's increasingly pale face and snorted softly, "She wasn't actually pregnant that time. Later, you refused to enter her yard and became even more wary of those around you, leaving her no chance to take action. That's why she had an affair with her cousin and gave birth to your so-called eldest son."
"Later, wasn't it because of that eldest son, old uncle, that you became more patient with her? You even fought with her more often for the sake of the child."
The woman slammed the table and stood up tremblingly. "I respectfully address you as Little Princess for the sake of the Great Zhou, the Regent, and the Princess. Although children may speak without restraint, how can you, as a Princess, insult my innocence so recklessly?"
The little girl put her hands on her waist and said, "I am not talking nonsense. You gave birth two months prematurely and the child almost died. Your mother's family also knows about this. The midwife at that time was also sent by your mother's family. Once we investigate this matter, we will know."
"By the way, old uncle, this county lord wants to remind you, if you want to investigate, you'd better hurry up, otherwise the midwife might be silenced if it's too late."
"Although that woman deserves a bad death for all her evil deeds, she should be allowed to tell the truth before she dies, right?"
The official narrowed his eyes and gave a look to his confidant beside him. The woman collapsed on the ground when she saw it. "Master, you and I have been married for decades. Would you rather listen to this little bastard than trust me?"
With a slap, the woman's face was tilted to the side and swelled up instantly.
"Bi'er~"
After hearing this, Bier immediately took out a small dagger from somewhere and walked over. She pinched the woman's chin and cut off her tongue. She did it so quickly that no one present could react.
“Ugh…Ugh…”
Many people in the hall couldn't help but retching when they saw the bloody scene, and many people who were friends with the woman came out to speak up for her.
"Princess Regent, this is my Beining, not your Great Zhou. You came here to establish diplomatic relations with my Beining. You first scalded my Beining official's wife's face with tea, and then cut my Beining official's wife's tongue. By doing this, are you bullying my Beining and saying that no one wants to make enemies with me?"
The little girl shook her head seriously, "We're not here to establish diplomatic relations with Beining. My parents said we're here to collect a debt!"
"Besides, my mother did nothing wrong. This princess was telling the truth. But she actually openly insulted another princess as a bastard. Is it still necessary to keep her tongue if it can't speak?"
Those who were about to say something had their mouths blocked by something when they heard the little girl's words. They were all officials in the court, so they naturally knew what the debt collection meant.
