Chapter 42: Teach You to Have Evidence
The man pushed aside the people around him and walked out.
The man was about forty years old, tall and strong. When he stood there, he looked very intimidating.
But Cheng Nianying first scanned his temples and neck, then his knuckles...
His lower body was stable, and he was a martial artist, but his skills were not outstanding.
When Cheng Nianying looked at him, the man was also looking at her.
The man's expression froze, and he seemed quite shocked.
Nothing else.
Anyone would glance at such a beauty who suddenly appeared in the house.
Cheng Nianying was now wearing clothes prepared by the Prince's Mansion, and most of her jewelry was given by the emperor. Unlike the plain clothes she wore when she attended the banquet, she was wearing quite a lot of jewels today.
Look at Mother Zou again. No matter whether the Marquis's Mansion is rich or not, the servants in the mansion have always been noble. The little palace maid who came with her was given by the emperor, and her temperament is even more different from ordinary people.
The man quickly retracted his surprised look and asked doubtfully, "May I ask what this is?"
Mother Zou curled her lips. She was not a fool and could see the signs.
Mother Zou cleared her throat, her voice stronger than a man's: "This is our Danshuo County Princess."
She now felt that staying with the Princess of the County was indeed much more stylish!
The man's face flickered, and he was still surprised.
Danshuo County Princess...? He understood all these words, but he just didn't understand. Why did the County Princess appear here?
"Aren't you going to greet me yet?" Mother Zou frowned.
The man bowed doubtfully, but before he could straighten his back, he heard Madam Zou complain again, "What are the rules of the Wei family? How can a man from outside run around freely in the inner courtyard? He even offended our master."
The man's expression twitched: "I am Wei Yanhua's uncle."
"I was taking care of some household chores today, and I didn't expect the Princess to be here. It's really our fault for disturbing you," the man continued.
The man bowed deeply and said, "I dare not offend your eyes any further. I respectfully bid you farewell, Princess."
Mother Zou stopped talking and turned to look at Cheng Nianying's expression.
Cheng Nianying's expression was calm.
Such calmness made Zou's mother secretly uneasy, but it made the man breathe a sigh of relief.
He said, if you are really a noble person, why would you have any pity for the weak? If you walk past someone and step on them, you will be dissatisfied with the dirt on your soles.
Cheng Nianying: "I want to see it."
The man choked.
This noble man's preferences are really peculiar.
"There's really nothing to see... The family is also thinking about Yanhua. Sending her mother to a temple to recuperate is better than wasting time here, which has delayed Yanhua's marriage."
Cheng Nianying was curious: "If it's for her own good, then why don't they agree?"
The man choked again, suppressing his anger: "Women are so heartless! Such weakness and hardness will only lead to greater disasters sooner or later!"
"A woman's heart?" Cheng Nianying wondered, am I not considered a woman? I can chop you into eight pieces with one knife. Where is the weakness?
The man also realized that he had spoken out of turn, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Excellency, you'd better go back early. If I startle you later, I'm afraid the Prince's Mansion will punish you."
Just because I was frightened, they would be punished? Is that so easy?
Cheng Nianying blinked, turned her head and said to the guard behind her: "I want to take a look, and then leave after I finish it."
The guards looked at each other.
"yes!"
They stepped forward and pushed the man away.
The man was even more annoyed, but he knew that he couldn't reason with the noble. No matter what this Wuning Marquis's daughter was like in the past, now that she was carrying the banner of the Danshuo County Prince, everyone would be afraid.
The man took two steps back: "Okay."
He winked at the old woman beside him and said, "Let go of your wife."
The old woman let go.
Jiang got up from the ground and rushed straight towards Cheng Nianying before she could even stand firmly.
Regardless of whether this noble man was kind or not, his mood would soon be gone. The man suppressed the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, the guards hurried to stop them.
Cheng Nianying raised her hand and pushed them away: "You're blocking my view."
Guard:?
They turned back to check Cheng Nianying's expression, to confirm whether she was joking. The next moment, Jiang and Cheng Nianying bumped into each other.
Cheng Nianying hugged her tightly and patted her neck, and Jiang stopped moving.
"Princess?" Mother Zou called in a trembling voice.
Cheng Nianying: "Nothing, she's just a little depressed. Where's Wei Yanhua?"
The man was so shocked he couldn't speak. How could it be possible? How could Jiang stop going crazy just by holding her?
Cheng Nianying asked Zou's mother softly, "Can't he hear me?"
Mother Zou was startled and immediately became Cheng Nianying's number one lackey. With a sullen face, she shouted, "Do you have to say everything twice? I'm asking you, where is Miss Wei?"
The man took a deep breath and said, "Go, let Yanhua come out."
Wei Yanhua quickly walked out step by step, her face covered in ash and blood, her eyes burning with silent fire.
Cheng Nianying looked at her and said, "I was wondering why you didn't make any sound just now. It turns out you were pinned to the ground."
There was no condescending sympathy or pity in her words, nor was there any sarcasm that was typical of nobles.
Wei Yanhua had been suppressing her immense anger and resentment, but now she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She smiled and said, "Yes, my uncle's men are not polite at all."
When the man heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed: "Yanhua, you were the one who disrespected me first..."
Cheng Nianying: "Here."
Wei Yanhua, still visibly shaken, took a few shaky steps before she finally took Jiang in. Jiang nestled in her arms, eyes slightly closed, breathing softly, perfectly still.
"I'm leaving." Cheng Nianying took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Wipe your face."
Wei Yanhua couldn't tell the difference.
Cheng Nianying then placed the handkerchief in Jiang's arms.
Cheng Nianying is gone.
The man almost immediately grabbed the collar of a servant beside him and asked, "The princess is here, why didn't anyone announce it?"
The servant endured the pain and said: "I just came to see the girl in private. Princess, please don't disturb others."
The man sneered and kicked: "I think you are all very cunning!"
"Punish them with ten sticks." The man turned his face away.
The servants hurriedly shouted: "The princess said she wants more!"
"What if you come again? Do you still want justice for these lowly creatures like you?" the man sneered. But despite his words, he didn't mention the ten-stick punishment again.
"Yanhua, you don't understand your uncle's good intentions." The man shook his head. "I just hope you didn't lie to me today, and that the Princess of Danshuo County really came this time. But noble people tend to forget things. Even if she comes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, can she come all the time in the future?"
Wei Yanhua lowered her head, with a look of both crying and laughing on her face.
That's unfortunate.
*
After getting on the carriage, Mother Zou said, "I am still a princess and want to stand up for Miss Wei."
Cheng Nianying always uses a knife.
She was humble and eager to learn: "How can I get ahead?"
Mother Zou was stunned.
This person has a wild style of doing things, so how come he is like a blank slate when it comes to these things?
"Well, well... you brought so many guards with you, just capture those people from the Wei family and tell them not to do this again in the future."
"But the guards are from the Prince's Mansion. They represent the Prince's Mansion. I am using the Prince's Mansion to suppress them."
"Yes..." If others want to use the name of the Prince's Mansion, they really can't have such a good fate.
"Then others will secretly curse the prince behind his back."
Mother Zou was stunned again: "You really think about the long term."
Everyone in the Marquis's mansion thought she was a maid, but she was ruthless and ruthless, living outside the rules of the world, acting generously and fearlessly, remaining unperturbed by honor or disgrace at palace banquets, and at this moment, she had the overall perspective of the mistress of the house...
Cheng Nianying didn't think so much.
When she returned to the Prince's Mansion, she saw Wu Xun as soon as she entered the Youhuang Courtyard. This meant that Fu Yi was waiting for her.
Cheng Nianying walked in quickly. Fu Yi raised his head slowly, the light and shadow drawing cold lines on his face. But the next moment, he smiled again: "What did you touch today? There's blood on the collar of your clothes."
Cheng Nianying: "I hugged someone."
Fu Yi paused and slowly put down the book in his hand: "With whom?"
"Wei Yanhua's mother, Jiang, had blood all over her mouth."
Fu Yi slowly leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair: "Last time we went back, we encountered thieves. This time, the mother of the Wei family girl ran away? Is it still fun?"
"Um."
Fu Yi paused when he saw her calm expression. He asked, "What's interesting?"
Cheng Nianying: "I've never seen these before."
Fu Yi: “…”
Cheng Nianying sat down in front of him and whispered, "Wei Yanhua's uncle wanted to kidnap Jiang and take her to the temple, and he also pinned Wei Yanhua to the ground."
Do you remember what you did when you first went to the Wei family? Fu Yi was amused and asked patiently, "Well, then what?"
Cheng Nianying: "I don't like this guy very much. If I ask the guards to beat him up and not let him show up again, wouldn't that be considered bullying?"
She didn't think as far ahead as Zou's mother. She just came back and asked about what she could and couldn't do.
Fu Yi pursed his lips and smiled, "Without any evidence, it's just abusing power. If you have evidence, it would be appropriate for you to kill him."
"I don't like him as a person, so that's not a proof."
"Yes. But if it was because he spoke so eloquently in the palace, saying that Your Majesty was foolish in appointing me to so many positions, which had elevated the status of civil officials and frustrated the military officials, that you disliked him after hearing that?"
Cheng Nianying looked at him, still smiling, and seemed to have caught a glimpse of another Prince Danshuo.
"Okay, I'm just giving you an example. If that's the case, I'm afraid the entire Wei family will end up in trouble. Go change your clothes. If you feel sorry for the young lady from the Wei family, there are still many ways to go."
Cheng Nianying was full of curiosity, but still nodded and went to take a shower and change clothes.
Wu Xun came in a moment later and asked in surprise, "Why are even people from the Imperial Guard following the Princess today? Are they people that Lord Fu has added?"
"Go ask him if the candied fruit is delicious?"
