Chapter 374 Oilcloth
Haidong said, "Are you sure you want to deny it? What you said was heard by Prince Gongxuan's son and daughter. If they testify at the same time, your crime will be even more serious."
Xing Ruyue was startled and nodded dejectedly: "I...I did say that I was just trying to scare them, I never thought of robbing them."
Haidong said shrewdly, "Threatening? That's intimidation. Although you didn't succeed in snatching her away, everyone knows how much we in Xuanling Country value children. You've committed intimidation. Go to the county government and stand trial."
After saying that, his men stepped forward and captured Xing Ruyue and her servant.
Seeing that she was also arrested, Hongyu hurriedly defended herself, "It's none of my business, you can't arrest me."
Haidong: "Didn't you and your master embarrass those three children today?"
Hongyu choked and was speechless.
Xing Ruyue tried to break free from the guards' hands, but it was no use. She had no choice but to plead, "Sir, I know I was wrong. I didn't cause any serious consequences, and my father's position has been demoted. This punishment is enough. Why do you want me to be punished again?"
Haidong: "Why do you have to go? Because this matter is personally under the jurisdiction of His Majesty and Prince Gongxuan, and you have indeed violated the law. As the one who is threatening and intimidating you, of course you have to go."
What?
His Majesty!
Your Majesty actually protected those three children.
Xing Ruyue was suddenly in despair. She had hit a wall today.
After Xing Ruyue and Hongyu were captured, Xing Baishan and Madam Xing collapsed to the ground at the same time.
Mrs. Xing cried, "Her father, we only have this one daughter. What should we do if something happens to her? Otherwise, why don't you go to your boss and explain the situation and ask him to go to the county government to plead for mercy?"
Xing Baishan said with a gloomy face, "He just demoted me, and now I'm asking him for help. Do you think he'll agree? If I anger him, I might even lose my job as a waiter. Then our family won't even have porridge to drink every day."
Mrs. Xing burst into tears. "Your boss is so heartless. You've done so much for him over the years, and he won't even help you."
"Enough!" Xing Baishan said, "Didn't you hear what Lord Haidong said just now? This time, His Majesty and Prince Gongxuan are both coming forward to punish us. Who dares to protect us? Can our boss be more powerful than His Majesty?"
Mrs. Xing was stunned and silently shed tears. "My daughter has been arrested by the government. Her reputation will definitely be ruined. You have been demoted. I guess she won't be able to marry into a good family in the future. Her life is over."
"How could I not know? She's just too stupid!" Xing Baishan said unhappily, "With my status, she could even marry the son of an official. Now that she's been captured by the officials, her reputation is ruined. Even the shopkeeper's son might not marry her. We can only wait and see if the peddlers and the cart drivers are willing to marry her."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xing was immediately filled with despair.
Her poor daughter!
…
After Song Chuman and her two siblings left Prince Gongxuan's Mansion, they went on a shopping spree.
Xiao Xuanli still sent Lin Sheng to drive after them.
As the weather gets warmer, a lot of green grass is growing around the cave. The five acres of land allocated from the Song family can now be slowly transformed into farming land.
Passing by a grocery store, Song Chuman saw some oilcloth. After thinking about it, she bought enough oilcloth for five acres of land.
Song Chuhuai pointed at the oilcloth and asked, "Sister, what is this?"
