Chapter 199 Tea Party
Are they... coming to arrest her?
Is that old beast dead?
Zeng's face was filled with fear, and he staggered back.
She...she was too impulsive just now...shouldn't she have used the knife?
If she became a murderer, how could her daughter hold her head up high in her husband's family?
Zeng's eyes were filled with regret... She would never, ever go to jail even if she wanted to end her life!
In just a few breaths, Zeng had already made up his mind to die.
She looked resolutely at the guards approaching her step by step, and suddenly turned around -
I actually saw a very familiar face.
"Madame Li?"
"Are you here to arrest me?"
The more Zeng spoke, the lower her head lowered... Nanny Li was a good person, and she didn't want to cause her any trouble...
Nanny Li opened her mouth, but no words of comfort came out.
Many hands make light work...
If she had listened to the princess and reported the matter to the authorities, she might have been able to get the Prince Consort's father kicked out of the princess's residence...
The princess would not be unable to sleep or eat all day, and would not become ill from fear and suffer from mental illness.
This caused her relationship with her husband to become increasingly strained, and she was finally forced to agree to let that bitch Guan into the mansion, which led to the situation she has today.
After all, it was all Zeng's fault for not trusting their princess enough!
The air froze for a moment.
Nanny Li sighed softly, took the bundle from the person behind her, and awkwardly stuffed it into Zeng's arms...
"The food, clothing, and daily necessities in this bundle are all gifts from Princess Zhaoning!"
"As for the silver... it was accidentally lost by my princess. It's enough for you to live a comfortable life!"
After saying this, Nanny Li stopped looking at her, put her hands in her pockets and turned her head away.
Zeng's eyes trembled constantly, tears trickled down her cheeks, she knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed three times in succession:
"I thank Princess Zhaoning! Thank you, Princess! I hope that Princess can escape from this sea of suffering soon..."
Matron Li: “…”
She stood up to leave, but Nanny Li suddenly grabbed her wrist and put a blessing of peace into her hand.
"This is a gift from Princess Zhaoning, to keep you safe... You, you must leave Xijing City as soon as possible, never come back, and don't go see your daughter."
Zeng frowned slightly. She had never spoken to Princess Zhaoning, nor even made eye contact. How could the Princess give her such a precious thing?
She guessed that the talisman must have been given to her by Nanny Li. Zeng pressed the yellow talisman to her chest with both hands, sobbing softly, and sincerely said, "I'm sorry!"
Then she bowed respectfully to Nanny Li, wiped her tears and ran away.
…
In the evening, at the Third Princess's Mansion.
Xiao Tangbao finally waited until Zhimei finished school, took Zhilan's hand in one hand and Zhimei's hand in the other, ran into the guest room where she was staying, and climbed onto the couch with a grunt.
Seeing that she was having difficulty crawling, the little white tiger suddenly raised his head, crawled over to her, lay at her feet, and happily served as a foot pad for her.
Tang Bao climbed onto the couch steadily and immediately motioned Zhilan and Zhimei to sit on it as well.
The three little guys sat around the table on the kang. Little Tangbao slowly took out a bunch of melon seeds, candies and snacks from his bag and filled the entire table.
"What about the matter I asked you to find out? Tell me quickly, did the Liu family really report it to the police?" Little Tangbao looked at the little sister opposite with his big, bright eyes.
Zhilan and Zhimei looked excited and immediately moved their buttocks forward.
"My Lady, they really did carry Father Liu to Shengtian Mansion! Prince Consort Liu wanted to be quiet... but his mother didn't listen at all. She beat the drum while crying and howling, attracting many people to watch. Prince Consort Liu was very unhappy."
"Yes, yes, yes. Then, in order to avoid suspicion, the Li family decided to openly try Zeng's assault case."
"Prefect Li asked them, 'Why did Zeng hurt someone?' They hesitated and gave different explanations. Prefect Li did not immediately send people to arrest Zeng, nor did he post a wanted notice for Zeng."
Tang Bao: "And then what? Prince Consort Liu's mother even beat the drum, but she didn't make a scene?"
Zhilan: "How could there be no trouble?"
"Prince Consort Liu was very disappointed and angry, but he didn't lose his temper. He asked to speak to Li Fuyin alone... Li Fuyin immediately and loudly refused to avoid suspicion."
"Then, in front of so many people, Prince Consort Liu blushed and asked Governor Li for a loan..."
Tang Bao: "...?"
Zhimei: "Prefect Li immediately refused, saying he had no savings and his salary was only enough for daily expenses!"
"Upon hearing this, Prince Consort Liu's mother was furious and went crazy! In order to use her power to pressure others, she kept calling him Prince Consort..."
"She even threw a tantrum, asking Li Fuyin to call a doctor to treat her husband and her son's injuries, otherwise she would hit her head and die in the government office..."
"And then?" Little Tangbao was so excited that he lay on the kang with his little butt raised up: "Is she dead?"
That Liu's mother has a mean look on her face and is partial to Prince Liu's concubine. It's obvious that she is not a good person. I don't know why she didn't get her retribution today?
The little guy was wondering when Zhimei burst out laughing.
"There were so many people in the yamen, how could they let her die in court... But Magistrate Li accused her of disrupting the court and threatening and intimidating court officials, and he beat her with fifty sticks on the spot!"
"She fainted three times during the process, and each time the yamen runners splashed her with ice water and woke her up."
"Well done!!!" Tang Bao threw away his melon seeds and clapped his hands. "Prefect Li deals with bad guys all day long, so he must have offended a lot of people and ghosts. Let's go to his house someday to help him exorcise the evil spirits!"
Zhimei nodded in agreement, but Zhilan curled her lips in disapproval.
"That Li Fuyin is obviously a very smooth man... Although he didn't pay for a doctor for Prince Consort Liu and his son, he still asked a coroner to suture their wounds..."
"Is that so..." Xiao Tangbao seemed to be lost in thought...
Then she must take time to visit Li Fuyin's residence!
"Princess, are we going to stay in the Third Princess's Mansion for the next few days?" Zhimei suddenly asked.
Tang Bao nodded, "As long as we live here, the Liu family won't dare come back... They can't come back either!"
Third Aunt has spent so much time digging wild vegetables and suffered so much, she must make the Liu family live a sad and painful life!
The little girl pondered and turned to look out the window... Third Aunt lives in the house opposite her. She has been sleeping all day. Isn’t she hungry?
"Let's not talk about their adults... What about the school? Did anyone bully you? Did the teachers say anything bad about me, Tang Bao?"
“…”
The three children chattered and had endless things to say behind closed doors.
When Chuntai came to deliver the roasted whole lamb, he pushed open the door and looked at the scene before him. His head buzzed...
