Everyone was silent. Princess Rouping, Huo Da, couldn't help but pat the coffee table beside her.
I have never seen my mother get so angry. The brothers quickly replied honestly: "Yes."
"If Xuan Bao has no abilities and is just an ordinary little doll, will she be beaten?"
The brothers all lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything, then Princess Rouping said angrily: "You have all read the books of sages, but you can't tell the difference between right and wrong. My sister did the right thing and was bullied. You didn't protect her, but you collaborated with her."
Others are trying to cash in on the treasure."
"Mother, I was wrong." Xiao Kezhong was the first to admit his mistake.
"We were wrong too." The others followed the eldest brother and said.
Princess Rouping's eyes fell on Xiao Mingzhu, and she just silently knelt beside Xiao Kezhong.
Seeing Xiao Mingzhu looking at her nose and heart, Princess Rouping sighed in her heart. She naturally knew the thoughts of her sons. After all, they were all for her sake. However, the master acted as if nothing had happened and did not even plead for mercy.
Say a few words for them.
"You are wrong, not only because you don't distinguish between right and wrong, but also because you forget which family you are from." Princess Rouping looked hurt, "It's your fault that I didn't teach you properly. I have no face to face your father."
These words were serious, and the brothers' expressions changed and they all knelt down and kowtowed: "Please mother punish me."
Princess Rouping waved her hand and said: "What punishment are you talking about? You are no longer little babies. Go down and reflect on it and think clearly."
This time, the mother was so hurt that she didn't even want to punish them. The brothers and sisters got up helplessly and slowly retreated.
"Mother." Xuan Bao quickly stepped forward without saying anything, and just hugged Princess Rouping tightly.
Feeling the little baby's small hands holding her tightly with unusual strength, Princess Rouping felt warm tears falling from her heart.
"Xuanbao, I'm sorry for you. I didn't protect you well back then, and I don't protect you well now."
"I was still young back then, but now that I have grown up, I can protect myself and my mother." Xuan Bao said sincerely.
Xiao Kexiao also stepped forward to persuade: "Mom, don't be sad, brother and the others just had a temporary misunderstanding."
"Mother is not sad, not sad."
Seeing the worried look on the cute little Xuanbao in her arms, Princess Rouping restrained her emotions and nodded with a smile.
Aunt Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "Princess, the Second Young Master and the Seventh Young Lady are right. You can relax and everything will be fine."
"Well, Xuan Bao is right." Princess Rouping took a deep breath to calm her mind, "In recent years, because of my lack of care, my second wife has enriched her own pockets. My heart has grown and my courage has grown fat."
"Yes, during the past two days of cleaning up the private treasury, 40% of your dowry was actually taken away." Aunt Ying said worriedly, "As for the internal affairs of the Marquis Mansion, the accounting maid sent from the Prince's Mansion has sorted it out with skill and skill.
Not to mention making a profit, I'm afraid I'd be lucky if I didn't make a loss."
Xuan Bao didn't understand what was wrong or wrong, but he still understood the basic principle: "Mother, you have to pay back what you take from others."
Xiao Kexiao chuckled: "Mother and Xuan Bao understand the truth, I guess you adults understand it better."
Princess Rouping originally thought of forgetting the blame after taking over the reins of the family. After all, we are a family, and we can't see each other when we look up. But the scene just now made her realize Fang Rongru's reluctance. She had known her to some extent since she had been her sister-in-law for more than 20 years.
Yes, this is a person who can spare no effort.
After pondering for a moment, Princess Rouping said: "Yes, it must be paid back eventually. Aunt Ying, whether it is my dowry or the money and belongings of the Marquis Mansion, they must be cleaned thoroughly."
Aunt Ying was surprised and happy. Just because of the princess's hesitation, she couldn't use her hands and feet. She tried to persuade her many times but to no avail. She didn't expect that the seventh lady and the second young master could solve the problem with just two words.
question.
"I know that all the dowry from the princess will be recovered, and the accounts of the Marquis Mansion will be cleared up."
Seeing Grandma Ying full of energy and looking like she wanted to have a big fight, it looked so funny that Xuan Bao couldn't help but giggle.
Listening to the sweet and joyful laughter of the little doll, Princess Rouping and Xiao Kexiao couldn't help but laugh with her, and the unhappiness in their hearts was reduced a lot with a smile.
Xuan Bao suddenly walked to the door: "You all should step back. Dong Xue and Xia Yu will guard the door."
Do you have something to say? Princess Rouping winked at Aunt Ying. She waved to the servants of Qinse Courtyard outside the door, and they all retreated into the distance knowingly.
"Xuanbao?" Xiao Kexiao had already been full of questions.
"Mother, second brother, and Aunt Ying, I've thought about it a lot, and I still have to talk to you about some things first." Xuan Bao climbed onto the Grand Master's chair and sat upright with a serious tone.
Upon seeing this, the three people present looked at Xuan Bao seriously and seemed to be listening attentively.
"Second aunt is not simple."
At first glance, the three of them didn't think there was anything strange about what Xuan Bao said. When the little boy told all the tricks of the second room, and when he heard about the ghosts surrounding him and the corpses suppressed in the corner behind the woodshed in the west cross courtyard,
They couldn't believe it and were shocked.
Princess Rouping's face turned pale: "Fang Rongru has so many lives under his control?"
Even though Grandma Ying couldn't bear it when she found out, she thought the princess should listen more to understand the darkness of people's hearts.
"It may not be the second aunt, it may be the second uncle, but it must be related to the second wife."
Xiao Kexiao's heart moved: "Xuanbao, then you went to Tianlong Temple to find a master to save the souls of the dead?"
"Yes and no." Xuan Bao hesitated and decided not to tell anything about the divine monk, "Besides this matter, I also went to have fun."
Xiao Kexiao continued to ask: "Then have you met the divine monk?"
"What? Divine Monk!" Princess Rouping and Aunt Ying said in unison.
Xuan Bao nodded sincerely: "Yes, I saw him playing chess."
"Oh! It's your blessing to be able to see him." Princess Rouping said happily.
The mother's interpretation of what she saw seemed different from what she actually saw. However, Xuan Bao Wuxia thought about it, and the key point she wanted to say was not here.
"Oh, second brother, don't interrupt. The point I want to say is that we should deal with it carefully. Apart from the obvious things, I'm afraid there are also some shady things."
Being reminded by Xuan Bao, the other three people were shocked at the same time. Yes, thinking about it, the second room was simply sinister and vicious.
"Either, or, forget it, as long as you all are safe." Princess Rouping was timid as a habit.
As soon as she finished speaking, she met the disapproving looks of the other three people. Aunt Ying couldn't help but said: "Princess, what if there is no way to retreat one day, over and over again?"
"Mother, haven't you given enough to your second wife over the years?" Xiao Kexiao's eyes darkened, "People are so weak."
"Mom, I don't understand anything else. I just want to ask you, do you know that Xiao Youduo and Xiao Youfeng secretly bully the second brother?"
Princess Rouping looked at Xiao Kexiao in surprise: "How could they do that?"
"It's nothing, let's go." Xiao Kexiao smiled lightly, "After all, brother and the others can't be with me all the time."
