Chapter 269: Madam Pang Pulls the Crown Princess
Not only Xu Wan was silent, but the other ladies were also silent. They all knew that General Pang was a military general and Madam Pang was also the daughter of a military general, but... the upbringing of a military general's family couldn't be so difficult to describe, right?
Madam Shen was a bit overwhelmed, and whispered to the maid beside her, "Go and ask the Crown Princess to come over and take a look. It's not good to disturb the adults with a woman's affairs."
"Yes." The maid left in a hurry.
The emperor and his ministers were watching the children playing in the distance. Due to the distance, they could not hear what happened. They only heard that a child seemed to be chasing those glowing kids and said something, and then they started to fight with each other...Finally, Mrs. Pang's crying and screaming were heard loudly.
All the ministers looked at General Pang, indicating that your wife and children seemed to be looking for you.
General Pang was just worrying about which of the 300-plus children's portraits was the person they were looking for. When he heard someone remind him, he looked up blankly and asked, "Ah? What happened?"
The ministers chuckled again.
General Pang got angry immediately. What are you laughing at? When General Pingxi comes back, you old men who talk a lot of nonsense will all have to keep your tails between your legs!
Although he was so arrogant in his heart, he still had to be a loyal subject on the surface. General Pang said: "Your Majesty, my wife and children are calling me. I will go over to see them!"
The emperor smiled and said, "General Pang, why do you care about the little quarrels between women and children? We finally have a day off. Please spend more time drinking with me and relax."
"minister……"
"General Pang," the prince said calmly, "I see that the Crown Princess has already left. Let them handle women's affairs. Don't spoil the emperor's pleasure."
"But..." General Pang wanted to continue speaking.
Minister Shen beside him had already quickly filled the glass in General Pang's hand with wine: "General, come on."
General Pang: “!” Damn.
You guys are all talking one by one, are you going to let me speak?
General!!
Please come back soon and take care of these people!
With the arrival of the Crown Princess, Madam Pang stopped making a scene and stood up to greet the Crown Princess. She was so obedient and well-behaved. However, she looked back several times and didn't see her general. She smiled and asked, "Crown Princess, are you here alone?"
The Crown Princess smiled and nodded: "The ministers are accompanying the Emperor and have no time to come. If Madam Pang has any grievances, you can tell me."
Madam Pang's face turned ugly. If her general had come, he would have supported her. But she didn't expect that it was the Crown Princess who came. It was hard to say who the Crown Princess would help. Madam Pang glanced at the children, and her eyes suddenly moved from Shen Yibai to Zong Jincheng... She got it!
There were rumors that Zong Jincheng was the prince's illegitimate son. Of course, the Crown Princess would be the one who would be embarrassed if this scandal came out. She had been married to the Eastern Palace for six years and only gave birth to a little princess. If Zong Jincheng was taken back to the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess's position would be threatened. So if she wanted to file a complaint, she could not file a complaint against Shen Yibai, but...
"My queen, I want to sue Madam Zong and Zong Jincheng of the Marquis Yuanyang's Mansion! They took the lead in bullying my son, pinning him to the ground and beating him, and even stripping him of his clothes, bringing shame to our entire general's mansion!"
After Mrs. Pang finished her story, she looked at Mrs. Shen with a smug look and said, "You guys are so arrogant, I'll drag the Zong family into this first."
The Crown Princess must hate Zong Jincheng very much and will take the opportunity to punish the Zong family, and then punish the Shen family, the Wei family, and the He family together!
Mrs. Pang was very pleased with herself, thinking that she would be able to brag to her generals when she got home: Look how smart she is!
Zong Jincheng who was suddenly sued: "???"
What happened? How did he become the leader? Did he do the fighting? Did he take off the clothes? Did he take the blame? Did the accomplice suddenly become the mastermind?
Pang Jing was also confused and reminded in a low voice: "Mom, it's Shen Yibai, not Zong Jincheng..."
"Shut up." After scolding her son, Madam Pang turned around and continued to cry aggrievedly, "Madam, you have to help me. This Yuanyang Marquis's Mansion is really too much."
Xu Wan was amazed at Mrs. Pang's acting skills in turning the tables. It turned out that as long as she was not shameless, others would be more shameless.
She stepped forward and said to the Crown Princess, "Your Majesty, this all happened because Young Master Pang Jing tried to snatch the clothes from the four children. The children bravely protected their things and refused to give in, but Young Master Pang Jing still kept asking for them and even beat them up. Everyone present here can testify to this."
Madam Wei, Madam He, and Madam Shen also stepped forward to testify. Madam Shen said, "Madam, the truth is just as Madam Zong said. It was Madam Pang who turned the tables and insisted on being unreasonable."
After listening to their arguments, the Crown Princess asked the people around her what was going on. They were just children watching and should be the most honest witnesses.
But later, as women came over one after another, the children's mouths were soon covered. The women were divided into two factions based on the status of their husbands in the court.
The Crown Princess looked at the children with their mouths covered, her gaze gradually becoming deep. As expected, no answer could be obtained in this way.
There was no testimony, just taking sides.
She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It's just a fight between the children. What are you ladies doing here? Go to the side and take a rest. I will have a good talk with the children."
As soon as these words came out, Madam Pang immediately became anxious. She walked closer and reminded, "Madam, that's Zong Jincheng."
Don't you want to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson? Are you still a woman? Which mistress can tolerate this?
The Crown Princess understood but pretended not to understand: "Madam Pang, I don't understand what you are talking about. Please leave for the time being."
The maids and eunuchs came forward to carry out the order, separating the women and children for questioning.
As expected, without their own adults, the little kids who were only a few years old quickly confessed: "It was the brother who couldn't glow that started the trouble. He wanted to steal clothes, but he couldn't beat the four brothers who could glow, so he got beaten instead."
"Yes, and then his mother came and helped her son without asking any questions. Shame on you. The book says she was doting on him and that she was unreasonable."
"Yeah, and the one who started the fight with the brother who couldn't glow was the brother in the off-white glowing clothes, not the brother in the cyan glowing clothes."
"My Lady, those glowing clothes are so pretty. I've sworn in for you. Can you ask them to give me one? Or tell me where they bought it. I want them too."
