Chapter 312 Cutting off wrist to survive
Xia Miaoyuan stood up straight and said in a baby voice: "Father, mother, I did take action against them, but it was all for my eighth brother."
Xia Zhengqi gave Xia Miaoyuan an encouraging look, motioning her to continue.
"We were outside the forest at the time and heard the crying of the eighth brother and the insults of the two companions. We hurried over."
"When we got there, the eighth brother had been bullied by them and was crying and lying on the ground with wounds all over his body."
"When they saw me coming, they lied and said they were just passing by and wanted to leave."
"I asked them to stay, but they bullied me because I was just a little kid and didn't take me, a princess, seriously at all."
"I was so angry with them that I wanted to stop them, so I kicked and punched them."
"But I'm just a three-and-a-half-year-old kid. I have so little strength. How much power can a kick or a punch have?"
Xia Miaoyuan said, and winked at Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou who were kneeling on the ground.
[Humph! You two are not the only ones with big mouths! You guys will talk nonsense, but I will explain the details with reason and evidence! 】
After hearing this, the four people from the Feng family and the Liang family all showed shocked expressions on their faces.
Princess Anguo is precocious and smart, they have heard some about it, but this is the first time they have seen it with their own eyes.
Unexpectedly, a three-and-a-half-year-old child has such a good eloquence!
"Everyone, the princess has finished speaking. The right and wrong are right in front of us." Xia Zhengqi felt a little relieved after listening to his daughter's narration, and his temper, which had just been out of control, also improved a little.
"Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou bullied the Eighth Prince out of pure malice, and Princess Anguo witnessed their evil deeds and acted out of control in order to protect the Eighth Prince."
"It is clear who is right and who is wrong."
"Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou are so vicious at such a young age, it is really shocking."
"What is even more shocking is that they both discussed state affairs and slandered the Empress Dowager."
"The Empress Dowager clearly asked to leave the palace and went to the temple to pray. But they said she was the mastermind of the palace rumor case!"
"She is the mastermind behind controlling Concubine Li to spread the rumor!"
"May I ask, at such a young age, where did they hear these things? Did they make them up themselves, or did you guys gossip about them in private and let them hear them?"
The Feng family and the Liang family were so scared that their legs went limp when they heard this.
[Daddy is awesome! This hits the nail on the head!]
[In ancient times, if you dared to make rumors about the Empress Dowager, slander her, or defame her, it would be a capital crime, and you might even be confiscated and exterminated.]
[Discussing state affairs and defaming the Empress Dowager is a much more serious crime than beating or insulting the prince.]
"Your Majesty is wise, and I have always respected the Empress Dowager and never dared to make irresponsible comments about her!" The Duke of the Guard burst into tears.
"Father is right. We know the laws of Daxia. It is a serious crime to make irresponsible remarks about the Empress Dowager. How dare we do that?" Feng Shulai was so frightened that his voice was trembling.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, my husband and I have never made irresponsible remarks about the Empress Dowager!" Yao Jinse cried.
"My husband and I have always been law-abiding. How could we break the law knowingly?!" Liang Chaozong, who had never spoken before, unexpectedly explained for the first time.
[Wow, facing the danger of annihilation, the adults of these two families have chosen to abandon their children.]
[That's right, it's obvious that it's better for one person to die than for the whole family to be destroyed.] Xia Miaoyuan looked at the Feng and Liang families and suddenly felt a sense of pleasure in watching a good show.
Feng Manman glared at her grandfather and father fiercely, her eyes full of hatred and grievance.
"Dad, Grandpa, how could you lie? It was clearly you two who were discussing it in secret at the palace banquet! You said..."
[Mommy, Feng Manman is really stupid and bad! ]
[Tsk tsk tsk, you are at least the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, how can you be so stupid! ]
[Are you going to drag your whole family to be buried with you? ]
Before Feng Manman finished her words, the Duke of the Guard turned around and slapped her in the face loudly.
Feng Manman fell to the ground.
"You evil creature! How can you talk nonsense! Our Feng family doesn't have a granddaughter as vicious and bold as you!"
"Our Feng family will kick you out!"
"I, the Duke of the Protectorate, swear here that Feng Manman is kicked out of the family and has nothing to do with the Feng family from now on." The Duke of the Protectorate's tone was extremely firm and his voice was extremely cold.
Feng Manman got up from the ground crying.
"Grandpa, you don't want me anymore? You don't want me anymore?"
Feng Manman covered her red and swollen cheeks and looked at her grandfather in disbelief.
[Mommy, Feng Manman, you are so stupid! Your grandfather is taking drastic measures! 】
【If he doesn't kick you out of the house, my father might give the Feng family a gift package of confiscating the property and exiling them, and your Feng family will be finished. 】
Liang Zhirou looked at Feng Manman with sympathy, and then shook her head helplessly.
"Okay, I'll just believe you for now." Xia Zhengqi said slowly.
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise!" The father and son of the Duke of Huguo kowtowed like crazy.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will also kick Liang Zhirou, this unfilial daughter, out of the house!" Liang Chaozong said angrily.
"We don't have such a rebellious daughter in the Liang family!"
【Liang Chaozong, Liang Chaozong, you are the male protagonist in the book, and in this life you kneel down and beg for mercy from my father, tut tut tut! 】
【Ah, the plot is so broken!
Liang Zhirou remained silent, but glanced at her parents with a complicated expression, her eyes full of despair, and then lowered her head. Humph
! Liang Zhirou is much smarter than Feng Manman, and she understood what her family did.
However, she is not that smart. If she was really smart, she shouldn't have bullied Xiao Ba.
Xia Zhengqi looked at everyone deeply, "Good! You are quite righteous!"
"Feng Manman, Liang Zhirou, as the princess's companions, you are disrespectful to the Eighth Prince and Princess Anguo."
"The Eighth Prince was humiliated and beaten in a heinous way."
"He also discussed state affairs and slandered and defamed the Empress Dowager."
"All these crimes together should be punished!"
Hearing this, the Feng and Liang families were so shocked that they froze and almost fell down.
Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou were so scared that they collapsed to the ground.
[Wow! No way? Daddy has become so cruel now?] Xia Miaoyuan also felt it was incredible.
Emperor Mingxi paused and continued: "Considering his young age, he will be pardoned from the death penalty. But the death penalty can be pardoned, but the living crime cannot be escaped!"
"Remove the status of the two princesses as companions, and punish them to be slaves in the palace!"
[Well, this is a good verdict!] Xia Miaoyuan nodded in appreciation.
[Sometimes, living is more painful than dying. 】
"The mistakes made by Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou today are the fault of both families." Xia Zhengqi said this and glared at the Feng family and the Liang family again.
