Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 89
wonderful!

Simply wonderful!
Shen Xi couldn't help but wanted to applaud, she really didn't think about such a bad thing except Xiao Che.

Wang Laolai proudly shook off the bellyband embroidered with twin lotuses in front of everyone: "No matter what, Shen Lan grew up in the prime minister's mansion, and the pattern embroidered on the bellyband is not something ordinary people can use."

Zhao's complexion changed again and again, and soon calmed down again: "My family is very strict, how could I do such a private thing?"

"Ma'am, what do you mean...is that I secretly sent someone to embroider the bellybands that ladies would wear?" Wang Laolai raised the corner of his mouth, "Not to mention whether anyone dares to embroider the things on it, just look at the fabric, I know it’s not something ordinary people can use.”

Indeed, what Wang Laolai said is correct, the capital city is a place with strict hierarchy, no, it should be said that the entire Fengyuan Dynasty was like this, the clothes worn by the nobles are different from the common people from the inside out, the two There is an insurmountable gap between the nobles, and the nobles use different things from the ordinary people to show their noble status.

So no matter how you answer this question, it is a pitfall.

If you don't admit it, then where did the bellyband in Wang Laolai's hand come from?How many noble ladies in the capital can afford to lose such a person and lose such a reputation?Even if they don't blame others, no matter where the trouble is caused, the enemy under the tree will still be their prime minister.

If he admits it, he will push Shen Lan into the pit of fire. After all, it is the girl who he watched grow up, Zhao Shi still doesn't want her to suffer this kind of suffering.

It's not a good deal to implicate the entire Prime Minister's mansion just for one Shen Lan.

The people watching around couldn't help but start pointing, and even those who are more interested have compiled several versions.

Either Shen Changqiu stole his daughter's bellyband and got caught by others, or Shen Lan and Wang Laolai really had an affair.

You know, how could someone like Wang Laolai be able to enter a place like Xiangfu.

Shen Xi couldn't help admiring Xiao Che in her heart, this method... tsk tsk tsk, it really is not comparable to ordinary people.

Even if Shen Lan didn't marry Wang Laolai by then, her reputation would have been ruined, and it would be basically impossible for her to marry any better man.

Unless you are married as a concubine.

"Then how can you prove that this bellyband belongs to Sister Lan?" Shen Xi seemed to be speaking for Shen Lan, but in fact she was saying things step by step.

Wang Laolai smiled: "Whose bellyband do you think I can get?"

Shen Xi deliberately pretended to be stunned and speechless, which further confirmed who the owner of the bellyband was.

"You always have to pay attention to evidence when you do things. I believe that sister Lan is not this kind of person, mother. After I go back, I will definitely investigate the whole of the prime minister's house to see if there are any people with dirty hands and feet who are obstructing it." Shen Xi looked at Mrs. Zhao has a determined face.

After all, she still has to show herself. After all, she is a loving "sister" in front of outsiders.

But Shen Xi knew in her heart that no matter what evidence the Xiangfu produced to prove Shen Lan's innocence, the common people would only think that this was a trick of torture, because since the appearance of this bellyband, it was already doomed for Shen Lan to take this step .

After another back-and-forth with Wang Laolai, Shen Xi forcibly suppressed his voice with power, and vividly interpreted the appearance of a sister who protects the shortcoming, which is also in line with her usual image.

But now, the more she went too far, the deeper the common people's disgust for Shen Xi would be.

After Shen Lan knew about this, her face turned pale again and again, she hurriedly searched her closet, and found that there was indeed a bellyband missing inside.

She ruthlessly turned to the maidservant beside her: "Did you do it?"

The maid was also wronged, and at the same time, knowing the seriousness of the matter, she knelt down as soon as her legs softened, and said in a panic: "I really don't know, Miss, I didn't do it. How could I cooperate with outsiders to harm you?" And you?"

Shen Lan smiled coldly: "Why can't you join forces with outsiders to harm me? I already knew you were jealous of me."

"Could it be...Could it be the princess?" She seemed to be grabbing the last piece of driftwood: "She hated the young lady for wanting to marry into the palace, so she came up with such a trick, and someone stole it. The lady's bellyband ruins the lady's reputation..."

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was already drunk.

"How bold, dare to speak ill of the master behind his back!" Mrs. Zhao originally thought that such a big thing happened, and Shen Lan must be dying of shame and indignation, so she hurried to see Shen Lan, and then said something to comfort her If you don't know what to say, I didn't expect to hear Shen Lan's maidservant speaking ill of Shen Xi just as she stepped in the door.

Shen Xi's protection is mainly due to the inherited Zhao family, and Zhao's family immediately became furious when she heard the words: "Discussing the name of the princess indiscriminately, fabricating and slandering the princess out of thin air, stealing the master's personal belongings and selling them, it is a death penalty."

I really didn't expect to see such a wonderful scene when I first came in. When I was humiliated in the palace, this maid did a lot of things to her.

Shen Xi couldn't help feeling secretly refreshed.

At that time, she was Shen Lan's right-hand man, she could be said to be Shen Lan's most trusted servant, but now it seems that the relationship between the two is only mediocre.

But it's not bad to be able to get rid of an enemy so quickly.

Shen Xi glanced at the maid without a trace, and then took Zhao's hand again: "Mother, grandma is not feeling well now, and it is not suitable to see blood. According to my palace, the death penalty can be avoided, so it is better to send it to the regent." How about leaving the palace to the housekeeper?"

The servant girl's heart was ashamed, and the regent's steward was so cruel, she might as well just die.

She cried with snot and tears: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have said such treasonous things in a moment of obsession, and I hope you will spare my life."

Mrs. Zhao heard the noise, and ordered coldly: "Alright, gag her and send her over."

The people below found a scarf from nowhere, and tied him up and sent him to the Prince Regent's Mansion.

After the butler learned the ins and outs of the matter, he knew it clearly, so he locked him in the basement of the palace.

Mrs. Zhao was still a little worried about Shen Lan, but how could she not be angry when she heard such words?
My own daughter, I am still reluctant to say a few harsh words, but she has the courage to slander her out of thin air.

So he didn't even look good towards Shen Lan.

May I ask how many good-hearted masters who can indulge their maids to say such things can be good?
Although Mrs. Zhao was well protected, she was not a fool.

From the bellyband that appeared out of nowhere to the maid who knelt down and begged for mercy, she was completely sure that the bellyband belonged to Shen Lan.

That's why she went along with the flow and tied him up and sent him to the Prince Regent's Mansion. No matter how stupid a person knows about this, he can understand the mystery.
