The emperor scolded everyone, but did not give a conclusion on the case, so Sheriff Li took them back to the Sheriff's Mansion.
A group of people left the palace and went to the county magistrate's house with people watching. Magistrate Li spoke righteously and argued with the officials one by one, but at this time, the plaintiff and defendant present were not as noisy as before.
Mr. Geng said feebly: "Sir, there is no need to investigate. We will admit any crime." He glanced at Chen Danzhu, who was sitting opposite.
Chen Danzhu held up the mirror and looked at herself. When she heard Master Geng speak, she uttered: "A Tian, do you think my eyes are swollen?"
A Tian held up the lamp and said, "Yes." She cried again as she spoke.
Mr. Geng looked blank: "We will pay for Miss Danzhu's loss and medical expenses."
Chen Danzhu put down the small mirror: "That's great. I'm not an unreasonable person. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them -"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Sheriff Li.
"Miss Danzhu, you are also at fault." He shouted with a stern face, "Stop lecturing others here." Looking at the others, "You women, if you gather together to cause trouble and fight, make a fuss and disturb His Majesty, you will be jailed according to the law.
However, since this is your first offense, you will be placed under the supervision of your family and grounded, and both parties involved in the case will be responsible for their injuries and losses."
Mr. Geng didn't care at all about the debate. The matter had ended in the palace, and now it was just a formality. They were so tired and frightened that they didn't even hear what County Sheriff Li said.
However, Chen Danzhu listened attentively and asked what to do with Taohua Mountain in the future. County Sheriff Li also answered her that she could make the decision in Taohua Mountain, but she must clearly mark the private land to collect money and cannot blackmail people.
.
After some long talk, it was completely dark, and they were finally released from the county governor's house. The officials dispersed the people. When asked by the people, they replied that this was a quarrel between young people and that the two parties had reconciled.
But the people are not stupid. Reconciliation means that the Geng family and others lose, and Chen Danzhu wins.
After half a day, what happened in Taohua Mountain has been spread throughout the world, and everyone knows it as clearly as if they were present at the time, and Chen Danzhu’s previous incidents are also mentioned again——
When King Wu was around, Chen Danzhu was very domineering. Now that King Wu is gone, Chen Danzhu is still very domineering. Even the aristocratic families from Xijing can't do anything to her. This shows that Chen Danzhu is favored in front of the emperor.
Why did Chen Danzhu receive such favor? Of course it was because he assisted His Majesty in retaking the Kingdom of Wu without bloodshed and driving away the King of Wu——
"The Chen family turned their backs on the King of Wu and prospered."
Countless people sighed in the dark night.
Through this incident, they finally saw the fact clearly. As for what happened, it didn't matter to the people.
After the carriages and horses passed through the layers of sight and finally entered the house, Miss Geng and Mrs. Geng finally couldn't hold back their tears anymore and started crying.
"Father." Geng Xue knelt down as she got off the car, "I am the one who caused trouble for the family."
Although they did not go to the scene in person, other elders of the Geng family who had learned about the passing looked horrified: "Does Your Majesty really want to expel us?"
Although Mr. Geng looked depressed, he was not as frightened as before. After being frightened in the palace, he became sober. He did not answer everyone's words and looked around. The mansion had been re-decorated, but the original owner had lived there for hundreds of years.
The breath is still everywhere——
"No, Your Majesty will not expel us." He said, "Your Majesty, it is not that you are angry with us, and Chen Danzhu is not really making trouble with us."
Hey? What is that? Everyone in the Geng family looked at each other, and Geng Xue stopped crying. She had experienced the whole process personally, listening to the emperor's scolding - was her father angry and confused?
Mr. Geng didn't know what to say. After all, the emperor didn't say it. He just knew it in his heart.
"You will understand if you look at what happened next." Mr. Geng only said with a wry smile, "This time all of us were taken advantage of by Chen Danzhu."
Was Chen Danzhu taken advantage of? Geng Xue looked at her father in tears, with confusion in her eyes. What happened today was something she had never imagined in her dreams, and her mind is still in a state of confusion.
"Chen Danzhu had a plan a long time ago." Mr. Geng only said, looking at his daughter kneeling on the ground, "You just happened to get in front of her. Now think about it, isn't it strange how she behaved when facing you?"
What's so strange about Feiyang being domineering? Geng Xue didn't quite understand.
Others also didn't quite understand. After all, they didn't know much about Chen Danzhu.
"Brother, what do you mean, Chen Danzhu and us are not enemies?" Master Geng asked.
Mr. Geng's eyes darkened: "Of course she has a grudge. Although her goal is not us, she has indeed targeted us and used us, causing us to lose our face." After saying that, he looked at everyone and said, "Let's stay away from this from now on."
Women, stay away."
You cannot make friends with such a woman with a bad reputation, domineering behavior and evil thoughts.
"Moreover." Mr. Geng Er's wife muttered at this time, "Ladies at home, don't be in a hurry to go out and play. When my sister-in-law said that at the time, I felt it was not good - we are still new here.
Well, no one knows anyone, so look, we might be causing trouble."
Mrs. Geng, who was originally crying, looked over angrily. This sister-in-law, who used to be afraid of her, now showed no fear of her anger and curled her lips with disdain.
"As soon as my sister-in-law heard that it was the Crown Princess who asked us to associate with the nobles of Wu, she didn't care about anything." She said, "Look, it's fine now. I don't know if she fell into the Crown Princess' favor. Your Majesty did remember it."
Stay with us."
"Okay." Master Geng scolded.
Mr. Geng Er was also busy scolding his wife, so the woman stopped talking.
Mrs. Geng looked at her daughter who had been beaten and frightened, and then at the restless men in front of her. She thought that all this trouble was indeed caused by letting her daughter go out to play, and she felt angry, annoyed and confused.
I was sad and had nothing to say, so I could only hide my face and cry.
As night fell, word spread throughout the city that the emperor's eunuch was finally waiting for him in the imperial concubine's palace.
"Your Majesty was originally going to come, but something happened suddenly, so he couldn't come." The eunuch sighed and pointed behind him, "These are some dishes given by Your Majesty." Looking at Zhou Xuan sitting among the princes, he burst into laughter.
, "They are all Second Young Master's favorites. Let Second Young Master drink a few more drinks."
Zhou Xuan smiled at the eunuch: "Thank you, Your Majesty." He reached out and picked up a piece of meat from the plate and threw it into his mouth. He said vaguely, "I haven't eaten cherry meat for a long time."
However, the emperor didn't come, and everyone had no interest in eating. Concubine Xian asked, "What's the matter? Your Majesty doesn't even eat?"
Aren’t you even going to accompany Ah Xuan when he comes back?
"I don't even know what to say." The eunuch did not refuse to answer. He looked at everyone, hesitated to speak, and finally lowered his voice, "Miss Danzhu, she had a fight with some noble ladies, and the trouble came to His Majesty."
The concubines, princes, and concubines were all stunned. Zhou Xuan choked when he was eating.
This young lady is indeed very skilled and can reach the sky in a fight.
