Princess Liao was even more dissatisfied and barely suppressed her anger. When she heard Xin Nian say some non-nutritious and perfunctory words such as "I'm scared, I don't know how to anger the princess", she slapped the table hard and said sternly: "

Are you scared? I don't think you are scared at all. In front of so many people and in front of me, these lies and clichés are coming out of your mouth. It shows what a wanton and perverse person you are? Is it okay if you continue to indulge like this?

Someone is coming..."

"The princess."

Xin Nian interrupted Princess Liao in time. A good girl will not suffer the immediate consequences. As a princess, once the words are spoken, there is no reason to take them back. Even if she knows they are inappropriate, no one can shake the princess's face and majesty.

Xin Nian did not look at Princess Liao's livid face and spoke quickly: "I wonder what I did wrong to arouse the princess's wrath? If you say you are being punished for these slaves, it is for a reason. The prince will hand over the investigation of the poisonous snake.

Let me deal with it. Doesn't the princess punish me without even asking? It doesn't really matter if I am punished and embarrassed, but the prince's dignity must be taken into consideration. What do you think?"

The meaning of this sentence is very clear: Your son has entrusted me to do things, and I have tried my best. You shouted and killed me indiscriminately. Have you asked your son for his opinion? Have you ever thought about the situation after beating me? Although filial piety cannot be violated, but

We have to talk about the three obediences and the four virtues, right?

Princess Liao looked at the respectful and beautiful face in front of her, feeling extremely hateful in her heart, but she had to admit that Xin Nian was right. She, as a mother, knew how strong her son was. If not, how could this errand have happened?

fall on the opponent's head.

"Listen to what you said, how can it be justified for you to go to war so violently? Fortunately, you still know the word "face". You are afraid that you will be punished and lose your face, but these slaves have also worked hard in the palace for more than ten years or even decades.

Why are you so cruel? Don't you care about their dignity at all?"

After hearing what Princess Liao said, Xin Nian smiled slightly and said: "The princess doesn't know something. In front of you, they naturally work hard and bear no complaints, but without you, these wives will change their faces. You see my punishment

You are so strict, but when you come here, each one of them is like a cockfighting geese. The eight immortals cross the sea and show off their magical powers, which shows how perverse and wanton these slaves are."

"Perhaps they were wronged, so when they saw the princess coming, they rushed to defend themselves. This is human nature."

Ms. Liao spoke slowly: "Besides, since the princess is here and all the servants are here, we can't just listen to my sister's words. Why don't we call them in and listen to what they say?"

Xin Nian glanced at Mr. Liao, without moving his expression, nodded and said, "Okay."

After speaking, he turned around and told the little girl standing by the door: "Let Mrs. Chen come in."

Princess Liao glanced at Ms. Liao, and when she saw Ms. Liao nodded slightly, she knew that Mrs. Chen was a clear-minded and somewhat decent person. It seemed that Xin Nian had not found an incompetent person to fool her, so her expression softened a little.

Soon Mrs. Chen staggered in. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt on the ground and crawled a few steps to Princess Liao. Before she could speak, Xin Nian beside her said lightly: "The princess calls you to ask questions. Just be honest."

Answer, don’t cry so much that your face is filled with tears and snot, and stain the princess’s eyes. Don’t blame me for beating you out.”

Sure enough, as soon as she said these words, Mrs. Chen immediately put back all her cries, shrank slightly and replied aggrievedly: "Yes. I don't dare to lose my composure."

Liao's eyelids twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but look at Xin Nian, and said to herself: These wives are not good people. They have been afraid of her for only two days, and they have become dignified so quickly? What a shame, a concubine.

, where does she have the qualifications? It’s all her cousin’s fault. I hope my aunt can find her fault this time and kill her majesty.

While thinking about it, I heard Princess Liao say: "Don't be afraid, tell me honestly, why did Aunt Xin punish you so hard?"

Mrs. Chen hurriedly kowtowed and choked with sobs: "I don't even know..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xin Nian said in a long voice: "If you respond well to the princess, what don't you know? Didn't I speak clearly enough when I punished you earlier?"

"yes."

Mrs. Chen shook her head twice: "Aunt Xin said that we, the madam's backyard, take turns cleaning and picking every day. Now that such a big incident happened and almost killed the madam, it was all because we were lazy and derelict in our duties, so we must be punished severely and make us grow taller."

Remember, you must be diligent and conscientious in the future and fulfill your duties faithfully."

Princess Liao frowned: In any case, this excuse is so high-sounding that it is difficult to find fault.

"Then you have really neglected your duty, haven't you?"

Mrs. Liao asked. Mrs. Chen shouted loudly: "The old slave is wronged! The old slave was not responsible for the madam's backyard. I can't blame the old slave for the poisonous snake."

Mrs. Chen cried out for injustice. Princess Liao looked at Xin Nian and saw that her expression remained unchanged, her eyes were slightly lowered, and she said calmly: "You must be careful. Who dares to lie and deceive in front of the princess? You said that you are not responsible for the madam's backyard, then you

Have you been there? How many times have you been there this month?”

Mrs. Chen shrank her neck and murmured: "Then... then I was entrusted by the eldest sister of the Cheng family. During my free time, let me... let me take care of it for two days and help her pick some flowers.

of."

"This is it."

Xin Nian then looked at Princess Liao and said in a deep voice: "Princess, you are kind. Because our family used to increase revenue and reduce expenditures, and gave preferential treatment to the servants, we assigned special servants to take care of everything that produced output. Now Madam's backyard

, she is in charge of the Cheng family. That woman regards every flower as her own property. Even the girls around the wife usually don’t dare to pick an extra flower and put it in a vase. All matters such as sweeping, pruning and so on are done by the Cheng family’s assignee.

Go to the management, and the people I punish are all those who often visited Madam's backyard before."

Princess Liao naturally knew about this matter. When she heard what Xin Nian said, it did make some sense. She frowned and said in a deep voice: "That venomous snake is rare. I think I just ran in. But in the past two days, you have been implicated."

There are so many people, why?”

Xin Nian responded calmly: "Originally I didn't want to involve so many people, but the more I investigated, the more frightened I became. These wives and mothers-in-law are colluding with each other, forming gangs, and running amok for personal gain. There is nothing they dare not do.

.If this continues, there will be no guarantee that big trouble will not occur, so we simply take this opportunity to give them a good beating so that they will not dare to have evil intentions again in the future and handle their tasks with caution to avoid disaster in the future."

"This is ridiculous. It's so good. What trouble can it cause?"

Aunt Qiu suddenly sneered. Seeing Princess Liao's uncertain expression, Mrs. Chen hurriedly shouted: "Princess, you must be aware that in the backyard of the madam, the old slaves have worked hard, but the poisonous snake really ran in without knowing when. If it is for this punishment,

We, we agree, but my aunt is clearly using this as a cover to seek personal revenge, so the old slaves have nowhere to complain if they have their grievances."

"Is that so? No wonder there is so much noise and such vicious behavior." Princess Liao glanced at Xin Nian coldly: "Ms. Xin, what else do you have to say?"

It turned out that Xin Nian was convicted indiscriminately.

Xin Nian remained calm, only his eyes narrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Then she suddenly laughed, gave Mrs. Chen a contemptuous look, and said leisurely: "You said I took revenge for personal gain? I want to ask, why did I take revenge for personal gain? I have an aunt who used to live in Qingliang Pavilion with you slaves.

I haven’t even said a single word, so what personal grudges do I have with you?”
