The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 168 Dismissal
"No! I... I!"

Before Ji Fu finished speaking, a servant hurried in from outside, stood behind the screen and said anxiously: "It's not good, miss, someone from the Criminal Department is here!"

"The master and madam were alarmed, and they are coming here now."

Ji Fu couldn't stand up anymore, Xie Tinglan said with a strange face: "What did the Ministry of Criminal Justice come to see me for... Forget it, you go down, I didn't do anything wrong, just wait."

Xie Tinglan glanced at Ji Fu, smiled and said, "I want to talk to the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is inconvenient to keep Mrs. Ji here. Mrs. Ji should go back to work."

Ji Fu left Xie Tinglan's yard in despair, and when she returned to the side room, she frantically took off her outer robe, and put it on the clothes she had when she went out that day.

Ji Shu heard the movement, pushed the wheelchair out of the room, saw Ji Fu like this, frowned and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Shu'er...it's not good!"

While wearing her belt, Ji Fu said with tears, "Your father's affairs have been exposed. Now your father is in prison, and he is about to be convicted. We have to leave quickly."

Ji Shu was a little surprised, but after the surprise, he was relaxed and happy.

"Oh. But where can we go? The capital must be under martial law now, and we may not even be able to leave the Xie Mansion."

Ji Shu was young, but he analyzed the problem clearly and said: "And my mother has already shown her face in Lianhua Village and registered with the government office. Even if we can leave, I am afraid that the arrest warrant will be posted in a few days. There are painters here , it is only a matter of time before we are found by the court."

"If you don't escape and you are found, it is estimated that nothing will happen. But if you are arrested by the government after absconding, you may be judged as an accomplice. At that time..."

Ji Shu licked the words behind and didn't say anything, but it was enough to scare Ji Fu.

She even stopped changing her clothes, and stood there with a dazed and flustered expression, at a loss for what to do.

He murmured: "No... If you can't find us, you won't be able to condemn your father, and your father will be safe."

Ji Shu looked at Ji Fu coldly, she would never understand her mother's 'loyalty' to Sheng Fuqing.

Ji Shu sighed, "He is an important member of the imperial court now. If there is no conclusive evidence, the official will not arrest him and put him in prison. At that time, there will be no conclusive evidence to convict him. Instead, the official will get into trouble. So now that he is released If there is prison, there must be favorable evidence.”

Ji Fu's mind went blank, she remembered that Xie Tinglan had told her that those involved in the incident around Sheng Fuqing had already been recruited after being punished.

Ji Fu sat slumped on the ground, tears streaming down her face, "Shu'er, mother can't just watch your father go to jail."

Ji Shu couldn't bear it anymore, "Didn't he deserve to go to jail! Who told him to forge his household registration and deceive others! Since he wanted to be a brilliant scholar, why did he marry you back then! He was innocent If you take the imperial examination, Princess Shang will be fine in the future! I really thought that what was written in those scriptures was true. Those are all made up by useless scholars themselves to dream!"

If you want to marry a young lady with a prominent family background, you should not hook up with Ji Fu in Fuzhou back then.

She hooked up but didn't want to be responsible, and thought it would be better to marry someone after winning the imperial examination, and came up with a trick of two identities, coaxing Ji Fu while coaxing the princess.

Do you really think that this princess is the same as the one written in the scriptures, and her brain is not working well?
Ji Shu looked at his mother helplessly, and said: "When the government comes to the door, mother should tell the truth. Otherwise..."

"To be honest, your father will die! That's a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Is it possible that mother will take me and die with him?" Ji Shu stared straight at Ji Fu with dark eyes.

She clutched the armrests of the wheelchair tightly with her hands, and her mouth was sour.

Ji Fu looked at her daughter, but couldn't say what she said. She buried her face in her palms and wept silently.

How to do.

In the end how to do!
"People are inside."

At this time, there was a voice outside the house, Xie Tinglan said calmly: "You guys should be quiet, the little girl is only seven years old and can't help but be scared, and before the matter is clear, they may not be accomplices."

"Thank you for your kindness. I will understand."

The officers and soldiers who came to arrest him gave Xie Tinglan a lot of face, walked to the door and coughed twice, but raised their hands and knocked without kicking the door.

"Open the door. We are from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. We have a case to take you back for questioning."

Ji Shu glanced at his mother, saw that she had lost her ability to respond in a daze, so he pushed the wheelchair forward and opened the door.

"My lord."

Ji Shu called out obediently, then looked at Xie Tinglan, and called out, "Miss."

Standing by the side, Yuxiu said softly: "Don't be afraid, I just ask you to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to ask a few words, if everything goes well, you will be back soon."

It's just that this matter is very involved. If the innocence of Ji Fu's mother and daughter cannot be proved, they may have to stay in the Ministry of Punishment for a while.

Several officers and soldiers led Ji Fu and Ji Shu away.

The criminal department came to arrest people, and there was a lot of trouble, which alarmed the entire Xie Mansion.

Xie Boming asked Xie Tinglan to go to the front hall for questioning, learned about the whole situation, and thought about it in his heart, Xie Tinglan managed his own affairs well this time.

When Sheng Fuqing's matter is over, the emperor will definitely think of Xie Tinglan's contribution and reward her well, then they will also have face in the Xie family.

Xie Boming praised Xie Tinglan severely, and called a few brothers and sisters who wanted to see her jokes, all of them made a trip in vain.

Xie Shuhui left the front hall sullenly, her hands were so strong that she almost crushed the silk handkerchief.

At this moment, a voice came from behind, calling out to her: "Third Sister."

Xie Shuhui turned her head and saw that it was Xie Zhen, the concubine daughter of the second room.

Her brows and eyes were cold, she stopped and waited for her for a while, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"It's been a while since I haven't seen Third Sister, and I want to talk to Third Sister."

Xie Zhensheng is beautiful, just like her mother, she already has a charming and enchanting first appearance at a young age.

Her mother was the former girl of the second master, her background was lowly, few people in the family looked down on her, but her mother was very much loved by the second master, so was Xie Zhen.

The second master is a businessman, the most important thing for Xie Zhen is money, the brothers and sisters in the family, even for the sake of money, they are very happy to see her as a concubine.

Xie Zhen walked to Xie Shuhui's side, and asked very artificially: "Why is Third Sister stuck in the room all this time, what are you busy with?"

"What does it have to do with you? Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about." Xie Shuhui glanced at her and said arrogantly.

"It's not my turn to ask the third sister. I just saw that the third sister was always away from home. Either some noble girl asked the third sister to go out to play, or the nobles in the palace invited the third sister to the palace. How long has it been? The third sister just stays at the house and has nothing to do, and I feel sorry for the third sister."

Xie Shuhui's face drooped suddenly.

"Are you looking for something?"

Xie Zhen smiled and waved her hands, "How dare I. If the third sister doesn't like to listen to me, I won't say these things that upset the third sister. But Zhen'er really loves the third sister, and the eldest sister has a deep heart. How can we compare Yes. Before, the third sister was as good as the fifth princess, but she accidentally got pried into the corner by the elder sister, Zhen'er feels sorry for the third sister."

"However, there is a good opportunity in front of us now. The third sister may be able to reconnect with the fifth princess."

Xie Shuhui's eyes flashed, and she asked, "What opportunity?"

"It's the matter of Sheng Fuqing. The fifth princess is so sad right now. If the third sister takes this opportunity to comfort the princess, maybe the princess will remember the time when she and the third sister were friends and sisters. I won't be angry with Third Sister again."

Xie Shuhui thought for a while, raised her eyebrows, glanced at Xie Zhen, and said, "Why did you come to help me?"

"Eldest sister is too lonely, and her life is too good. It doesn't matter about Zhen'er's background, she can't compare with elder sister, but Zhen'er also doesn't understand why elder sister is so lucky."

When Xie Zhen laughed, her eyes narrowed slightly, she looked pure and harmless, but her heart was dark.

"Zhen'er just wants to help Third Sister. Third Sister and Eldest Sister are siblings, so they shouldn't be worse than Eldest Sister."

Xie Shuhui looked at her for a while, nodded slowly, and said softly before leaving: "I will remember your kindness."

Xie Shuhui left in a hurry, apparently listening to Xie Zhen's words.

After the person left, the maid standing behind Xie Zhen stepped forward quietly, glanced at Xie Shuhui's leaving back, and said softly:
"Miss Fourth reminded Miss Third what to do, is it possible that she really wants to help Miss Third and Princess Fifth reunite?"

You must know that when the third young lady first hooked up with the fifth princess, she often flaunted her power in the house.

Although the eldest lady hated her, she didn't rely on her power to make her disgusting in the house.

Xie Zhen turned around and walked towards her yard, and said slowly: "When the fifth princess is in trouble, she avoids her like a snake and a scorpion. The fifth princess is not a fool. If she pleases her in every possible way, it is impossible to reconcile the old relationship with the third sister. Go up now Comfort, the flattering face is more obvious, she will definitely not succeed."

The maid pursed her lips and remained silent.

She said that her young lady had never liked the two prostitutes of Dafang, and seeing that they were fighting pretty much the same, how could she really help one of them.

Xie Zhen just watched the fun and didn't think it was a big deal.

"The eldest sister and the third sister are not good at dealing with each other. If the third sister can't please her, she will definitely blame the elder sister. No matter how good-tempered the eldest sister is, she doesn't always spoil the third sister. As time goes by, sooner or later If one is broken, which one is broken, it is in my interest."

There are several girls in this house, and the two prostitutes are the ones who are on top of her.

Get rid of these two prostitutes, and the remaining outsider girl is nothing to be afraid of.

Only then will her better days come.

Xie Zhen looked at the sky boredly, "Brother is going to leave school soon."

"That's right, this time it's a holiday. The young master will be able to rest for a few days when he comes back from the Imperial College."

Xie Zhen clapped her hands with a smile, "Great! Let's go to the kitchen and prepare some snacks, and send them over when Big Brother comes back."

The two didn't take two steps before they saw a person walking towards them.

Xie Zhen withdrew the smile on her face, waited for someone to approach, curtsied in a nonchalant and perfunctory way, "Second brother."

The servant girl said respectfully, "Second young master please be well."

Xie Zhen raised her eyes to look at Xie Hao, saw that he was hiding something with his hands behind his back, and frowned fiercely.

She stepped forward and pulled Xie Hao's hand from behind.

"Book?"

Xie Zhen raised her eyes and looked at Xie Hao displeased, "Second brother, you went to home school again?"

Xie Hao frowned, let out a sigh of relief and said in a hoarse voice, "Go ask Mr. about some homework."

"Second brother, how many times has my aunt told you that you are stupid, so don't compete with your elder brother! The most important thing is to learn how to do business with your father. You don't look at the books. What's the use of studying these all day long? .Second brother, do you really think that with the ability of second brother, you can get a Jinshi and become an official?"

Xie Zhen's voice was sharp and mean, like a sharp knife stabbing Xie Hao's heart fiercely.

Xie Hao was expressionless, as if he was used to such humiliation, and replied calmly: "I didn't intend to be an official, but I just have some interest in these books, and I haven't neglected to read the accounts."

Xie Zhen turned a deaf ear to it. From her point of view, her elder brother was unwilling to be a businessman in the future. He was jealous of his elder brother's ability to study, so he was restless. He went home with all his strength to learn how to run, just to compete with his elder brother.

Xie Zhen pulled Xie Hao to a corner, and said earnestly: "Second brother, you have to see the reality clearly. Eldest brother is a legitimate son, and he is different from us. Father has placed great expectations on elder brother, and the family has an official What an honor! At that time, our entire Second Household will reach the sky in one step, how can we still be suppressed by the uncles."

"It's just that the eldest brother is enough to fly out. The second brother is a concubine, and he is still honest and doing business like his father, which is not a small achievement. When the eldest brother becomes an official, the second brother will support him behind the scenes. There is no shortage of gold and silver, isn't it..."

"enough."

Xie Hao interrupted Xie Zhen's eloquent talk, and took a step back irritably, "I see, I still have something to do now, let's talk about it another day."

"Hey! Second brother!"

Xie Zhen yelled a few times but didn't stop Xie Hao, she curled her lips with a cold face.

"It's unlucky." She took out a silk handkerchief and dusted it around her body.

The servant girl buried her head and stood behind, not daring to make a sound.

She has seen this kind of drama a lot, although Xie Zhen doesn't like the two cousins ​​from the first house, but in her own room, she especially licks the young master from the main house.

Maybe it's because she knows that the second wife's direct brother is her future reliance, so she tries to please her in every possible way, but she treats her own brother with extreme meanness and contempt.

But these are not something she can manage alone.

The servant girl obediently followed Xie Zhen to the kitchen, preparing snacks for the young master.

On the other side, Xie Tinglan had already entered the palace.

Fu Zhaoyao led them all the way to the palace, Xie Tinglan saw many maids along the way, all holding wormwood in their hands, and sprinkled it on the ground with water.

"What is this doing?"

"Hey, mother concubine and I both think like this, it's bad luck to be able to go!"

Fu Zhaoyao clenched his fists, his eyes were full of anger.

Xie Tinglan patted her reassuringly, "Look aside, after all, we found out early, otherwise we would really be married, and then we would be disgusting."

"That kind of bastard, a thousand cuts would not be a pity!"

"Has the emperor made a decision?"

"The crime of deceiving the emperor is a capital crime. For now, he will be dismissed from his position for the time being, and his head will be chopped off when the truth is revealed!"

Fu Zhaoyao looked at Xie Tinglan, "I just heard from the palace people that the Ministry of Criminal Justice went to your house this morning to find Ji Fu. How could she be at your house?"

"It's a long story."
