Xie Yuzhen looked at Zheng Yinian with undisguised anger and disgust.
Her words were like thunder from the sky, striking Zheng Yinian's head blank, and he was stunned on the spot.
What did she just say?
Did they all see it? See her pricking herself? In other words, they had been here long ago, so did they hear what she said at that time?
As if she was thrown into an icy pool in the cold moon, she couldn't help but shiver, feeling the cold air from the soles of her feet to the sky.
Su Youning glanced at her and made the final move: "We all know about your mother's bribery of local gangsters to try to insult Jingzhu."
Qi Fanghui snorted coldly, "I went out with Jingzhu at that time. She knew that the real culprits were the people behind the scenes, so she just gave those people a lesson. You came here today to steal the medicine because your mother also had it.
Did you take that powder?"
The Zheng family deserves it. It is entirely their own fault that they will end up like this.
Zheng Yinian's face was as white as paper. She covered her arms and said: "I know my mother's behavior is inappropriate, but because of her love for her daughter, I beg you to give her the antidote. I am willing to resign as Ji Shan.
"
Su Youning said: "You seem to have made two mistakes. First, you made such a mistake today and your official position should have been taken away. You are not qualified to negotiate on this matter."
Let her resign on her own? She doesn't have that kind of treatment.
"Secondly, Jingzhu is not only a member of my princess's palace, but also an official of the imperial court. Your mother's actions obviously did not take the laws of Daxia into consideration. According to the law, even if she fails, she should be sent to the government office and beaten twenty times.
Slabs."
"You, the Zheng family, can choose for yourselves, whether you want to go to the Yamen and fight for twenty times, or you want to take the antidote."
If an official wife was sent to the Yamen to be punished, Zheng Yinian's father would probably want to divorce his wife. Not only that, the children she would have would be burdened by her reputation.
Zheng Yinian's body was shaky and his expression was dull.
Did the princess only give the Zheng family these two paths?
No matter which one, she can't accept it. If she gets the antidote, her mother can immediately relieve the pain. Although the twenty-year-old board is uncomfortable, it is better than being tortured by itching powder for another four days. But in this way, what her mother does will be
If it were made public, the Zheng family would be despised by the people of Yaozhou and their reputation would be brought into disrepute. My mother was unwilling to do this even if she died.
She bit her lower lip tightly, leaving a bloody mark on it, and the smell of blood was raging in her mouth.
Zheng Yinian knelt down and said in a pitiful voice, "If I enter the Yamen, I'm afraid my mother would rather hang herself."
She has no choice.
Su Youning said: "Someone, please take Miss Zheng home."
Zheng Yinian's hands and feet were so weak that she couldn't even walk. It was Su Yueling's female guard who came out to help her walk.
"Wait a minute." Qi Fanghui called to them, "Take out your waistband."
These female officials are able to enter and leave the princess's house at will because of their waist cards.
Zheng Yinian always had her belt on her body. She took it out with trembling hands, and regret engulfed her. Why didn't she stop her at that time? There were so many people who didn't like Shen Jingzhu, if she didn't deserve to be the one who stood out.
Enough.
Su Youning also found two people to pack up Zheng Yinian's things. Even though she hated what the Zheng family had done, she would not let a little girl Zheng Yinian go back by herself at this time. She sent two guards to send her away, even covering her wounds.
Helped bandage it.
She is really a beautiful little fairy with a kind heart.
When Zheng Yinian arrived home, she was still in a confused state.
My young lady suddenly came home late at night, and I knew that something big must have happened. The doorman of the Zheng family did not dare to hide it, so he mustered up the courage to disturb Mr. Zheng, who was already asleep.
In front of her father, Zheng Yinian naturally did not dare to say that she was caught stealing medicine in the middle of the night. She just said that what her mother had done was discovered, and the princess was furious and took away her official position. As for the tattoo on her arm
The injury was caused by herself in order to make amends.
As she spoke, she burst into tears and looked extremely pitiful.
When Zheng Xian heard the bad news, he felt that his eyes were darkened and his future was bleak. Who didn't know that the two princesses were the gods of Yaozhou, and if they offended them, the Zheng family might not be able to establish a foothold in Yaozhou in the future.
He was so proud that his daughter was chosen, but now he feels so regretful.
If he had known earlier, he would have been better off losing the election, otherwise he would not have nurtured his wife's heart and made her make such a big mistake, which even implicated the family. But when he looked up and saw his daughter's pitiful look, it was hard for him to blame him.
she.
He took a deep breath and said: "Your mother will stay in Zhuangzi from now on. I will tell the outside world that your mother is terminally ill."
If it weren't for the sake of his legitimate son and daughter, he would definitely divorce her.
Zheng Yinian, who was crying, was slightly relieved after hearing this. Although her mother will only have to endure hardships in Zhuangzi in the future, at least she is still the mistress of the Zheng family. This is the best ending she can have.
…
Su Youning did not keep silent, so the next day, the news about Zheng Yinian spread among the female officials.
The other female officials who were not called up to watch the fun last night were all shocked.
Who would have thought that the very popular Zheng Yinian would do such shameless behavior behind the scenes. Such duplicitous people have always been the type they hate the most, and Zheng Yinian's incident has also taught them a lesson.
To understand a person's true nature, you can't just look at the surface. They felt sympathy and pity for Shen Jingzhu who almost suffered a disaster.
The things in Shen Jingzhu's past were not what she wanted. She was able to win the princess's eyes because of her true ability. In order to get rid of her, the Zheng family went out of their way to dig her wounds, which was simply disgusting and hateful. They had followed Zheng Yinian to alienate her, which was a bit unavoidable.
Not kind. With the dignity of being a princess, they can treat everyone equally, so what do they have to be proud of?
So Shen Jingzhu felt that her colleagues around her were much more enthusiastic about her, and she knew in her heart that they were expressing their apologies to her in a tactful way.
In this regard, Shen Jingzhu's attitude has not changed much, but such a normal way of interacting makes those who feel guilty feel more relaxed.
When they went home to take a bath and mentioned this matter, their family members spread the word, so everyone looked at the Zheng family in a subtle way.
No matter how everyone feels about Shen Jingzhu, she is an out-and-out victim and belongs to a vulnerable group. The Zheng family's bullying of her for their own selfish purposes can be said to be quite morally corrupt.
Who dares to associate with such a family? You don't even know when you will be stabbed.
Therefore, although the Shen family's affairs did not spread among the common people at once, everyone in the well-informed circle of officials and powerful people soon knew about it.
Only then did Shen Xian realize that the princess knew that the Shen family was doing something secretly because her daughter was smart enough to steal the medicine. She actually deceived him too!
After further investigation, I found that there was something about Grandma Tang involved.
Aunt Tang was a domestic slave, so Shen Xian had no psychological burden in punishing her. She sold the fifty pieces directly after hitting the fifty pieces. Aunt Tang was old, and she developed a high fever that night after the solid fifty pieces were taken. The people were gone before they were even sold out.
As for Zheng Yinian, she was sent to Zhuangzi by a carriage to accompany her mother. Now Zheng Yinian does not need to worry about her reputation, after all, she no longer has such a thing as reputation.
