The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 166
In the study

Surprisingly, Mrs. Jing is also there, it seems that if she does not move Ye Anran down today, she intends to swear not to give up.

"My concubine greets the lord." No matter how big things happened, Ye Anran always carried a sense of tranquility. This kind of ladylike demeanor cannot be pretended, but the inner temperament formed after long-term teaching.

"Get up." Jue Nishinomiya's tone was always so calm, with a trace of indifference in the calm.

"Do you know why this king is looking for you?" Xi Gongjue looked up at the woman in front of him.

"The concubine doesn't know." Ye Anran spoke the truth, she really couldn't think of Siyan's accident, and how close it was with herself.

"Siyan was punished by this king, have you heard about it?"

"Well, I heard a little bit." Ye Anran nodded.

"Then do you know why she caught my eye?" Xi Gongjue stared at Ye Anran and asked word by word.

"The concubine doesn't know, please ask the prince to make it clear." Ye Anran really wanted to know the reason why Jue Nishinomiya attacked a pregnant woman, and she was pregnant with his child, it was a bit too crazy.

However, it is also understandable that the word crazy can always be directly used to describe Jue Nishinomiya, because his actions are always so crazy.

"She had an affair with a servant, and she was pregnant with that evil seed, and this servant is none other than your Xiaowu from Chunxiao Pavilion." Before Jue Xigong could speak, Mrs. Jing couldn't wait to tell the whole story.

"What? Xiao Wu? Impossible, he is not that kind of person." Although Ye Anran is not so familiar with the servants of Chunxiao Pavilion, she is not unfamiliar with Xiao Wu at all, because Xiao Wu is the youngest in the palace. It is said that his family is poor, with many brothers and sisters, and a mother who is bedridden all year round.

Once Xiaowu couldn't borrow any money, so he squatted anxiously by the side door of Chunxiao Pavilion and cried, and happened to be seen by Ye Anran. After Ye Anran knew about it, he took out 100 taels to treat his mother's illness without saying a word, but it was a pity that her mother's illness It still didn't get better, and the money was wasted.

Ye Anran could tell that Xiao Wu was a filial child, and thought he would not do such a thing.

But Mrs. Jing smiled frivolously and said: "Sister Wangfei, the prince and I saw this with our own eyes, can't it be fake? The little five died because he was ashamed and hit the table leg. Although there is no proof of death, the girl Siyan said this. It was you who planned it all by yourself, and you introduced Xiao Wu to Miss Siyan. Except for this kind of thing, you can't just shirk responsibility, after all, Xiao Wu is yours, and he would not dare to seduce him directly even if he was brave enough. Master's concubine?"

"Xiao Wu is dead, why did he die?" Ye Anran felt shocked, seeing a living person who was alive and kicking yesterday turned into a cold corpse today.

She didn't care about Mrs. Jing's slander, she just cared that Xiao Wu was dead, and felt sad.

"What can you say about this?" Xi Gongjue asked slowly, holding up his teacup.

After a while, Ye Anran came back to his senses, and softly uttered a few words: "I don't know."

"Hehe, it's so fresh, such a big thing happened, sister Wangfei, you just don't know and it's over? You know this is related to our master's face, isn't it just to deal with Siyan? But it's not necessary Involve Xiao Wu, he is still a brat." Mrs. Jing said contemptuously.

"My lord, there are no concubines. If the lord insists that the concubine did it, then punish me." Ye Anran gave up resistance, and it has always been like this. Entering the Yellow River, you can't wash away your grievances.

So Ye Anran leaned down and knelt down, waiting for the fate to pronounce...

She is not afraid of being punished, but she feels a little sad, maybe because of the dead Xiaowu, or because of Siyan whose life and death are unknown.

"Master, since the concubine and sister have confessed, it's fine if the concubine thinks it's not as good as it is. Just know her mistake, and don't embarrass her too much. She may have been confused for a while." Now, Mrs. Jing has become a good person, and she still She's not that stupid, even if she wanted to kill Ye Anran, it wouldn't be so obvious, she was very afraid that Jue Xigong would catch him.

Xi Gongjue looked at Ye Anran who was kneeling on the ground, and felt pity in his heart. He said, "Get up, I know this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Ah?" Ye Anran was stunned for a moment, she never expected that at such a critical moment, Xi Gongjue would say such a thing.

"Master, the concubine and sister have already recognized it, why do you still say that it has nothing to do with her?" Mrs. Jing was a little anxious.

"Who is related to this matter? This king knows it well. The princess is just a scapegoat who was involved. The real players are still behind the scenes. The method is nothing more than borrowing a knife to kill people, Siyan is dead, she made a mistake, she should bear the price for herself, but the concubine has nothing to do with this matter, this king can't implicate innocent people, An Ran, get up." Nishinomiya looked sideways at Ye Anran.

This was the first time he called her by her name so intimately in the palace, as if they were an old married couple, An Ran, An Ran, she called her out so smoothly.

Ye Anran was really moved after hearing this, she didn't expect that this time Nishinomiya chose to believe in herself, although he didn't say anything, but he knew it wasn't her, that's enough.

"The prince trusts the concubine so much, the concubine is very grateful." Ye Anran stood up and whispered softly.

"No, this king is just discussing things based on facts. I have been busy with state affairs recently and neglected the palace. That's why this happened. This person is not bad. After playing such a big game of chess, I should really meet her when I have time. You What are you talking about, Jinger?" After saying this, Jue Nishinomiya turned his head and looked at Mrs. Jing with deep meaning.

"Ah...haha, yes, everything I said makes sense." Mrs. Jing forced a smile and pretended to be calm, but she was actually extremely nervous. It's all over.

"Okay, I'm tired, that's it for tonight, let's go." Xi Gongjue waved his hand and turned everyone away.

"Master, are you going to stay in Jingyuan?" Mrs. Jing didn't forget to ask before leaving.

"No, I still have things to deal with, so I'm sleeping in the study." Xi Gongjue said without raising his head.

next morning
A news was sent back to the palace, which can be said to have been expected. Siyan died. She was sent back to the Song family overnight. , No, it was one dead body and two lives.

When the news reached the palace, Ye Anran didn't even have breakfast, but felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

Although Song Siyan hates it, she is not guilty of death. She understands that although there is no evidence that this matter is related to Mrs. Jing, but with her head, she knows that there is no one else but her. It is too vicious for her to do so. Want to deal with myself.

morning after

Xi Gongjue was leaving, but Song Wentai blocked his way: "My lord, please stay."

"Is there something wrong? Master Song?" Xi Gongjue asked coldly.

"The old man has some private matters and wants to talk to the prince in private." Song Wentai said with a little guilt.

"What? Do you want to avenge Siyan? Or do you want me to compensate your Song family money?" Xi Gongjue didn't think so.

"No, not at all, the prince misunderstood, and when such a scandal happened, we have no face to ask for money, let alone revenge. The old man just begged the prince not to make this matter public, and announced to the outside world that the little girl died of illness , okay? Otherwise, if it gets out, the old man really has no place to put his face." Song Wentai looked sad, and there was not only one child in his family, so he didn't care so much, and now he only cares about his reputation.

If the common people know that the daughter of the minister of rites seduced the servant and was beaten to death by the prince, it would be a shame...

"Cheng, I promise you." Xi Gongjue has no guilt towards Song Siyan, although he knows that she was also framed by others, but after all she did betray him and was pregnant with someone else's child.

Now that Song Wentai is at an old age, when he is in the pain of losing a daughter, it is not easy to ask for himself, so Xi Gongjue agreed.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. I am very grateful." Song Wentai immediately bowed to thank him.

Jingyuan
"Ma'am, this servant has already done what you said, should I let the servant's family go?" Xiao Cui knelt in front of Mrs. Jing tremblingly and said.

"Oh? That's right, I forgot about it, but this matter didn't achieve the effect I expected, so what should I do?" Mrs. Jing pouted, deliberately showing a very embarrassed look.

"This... This is not about the servant girl. The servant girl has already said everything according to Madam's words. Miss Siyan is also dead. Please ask Madam to release the servant girl's family and give the servant girl a way out." Xiaocui kowtowed cry.

"But you know so much, what if the prince catches you someday?" Mrs. Jing asked forcefully.

"No, how could the lord notice such a small role as a servant, besides, if the servant wants to leave the palace and go to the south with his family, he will not come back to the capital, so naturally he will not tell anyone. Don't worry, ma'am." Xiaocui assured her.

Mrs. Jing nodded: "Yes, that's right, here, these are the money for you, you go, don't come back."

"Really? Will Madam let the servants go?" Xiao Cui was overjoyed.

"Well, let's go." Mrs. Jing's tone was calm, without a trace of disturbance.

"Thank you Madam, thank you Madam." Xiaocui kowtowed twice again, and then took the purse that Madam Jing handed her.

She got up and left, happily weighing the bag of silver at least 200 taels, enough to buy a house for herself and her family.

At this time, Mrs. Jing whistled softly, and saw a white-haired spider crawling out of the scarlet purse, and bit Xiaocui's wrist accurately.

She let out a cry of pain, then lowered her head and found that her right wrist had turned purple-black, covering her entire arm.

"Madam, why...why did you do this?" Xiao Cui turned her head back with difficulty, looked at Madam Jing and asked in disbelief.

"Because in this world, I only believe that one kind of person will not betray me, and that is...the dead." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Jing showed a bloodthirsty smile.

Under her call, the little spider crawled back and returned to the small incense pot in her hand: "Baby, thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Jing touched the little spider and said.

Afterwards, her personal maid, Xiao Hong, walked in, looked at Xiao Cui, who had died of anger, and asked tremblingly, "Ma'am, Xiao Cui, what should we do?"

"Find a few servants, put them in bags and drag them out. They say they came to Jingyuan to steal things, and if I catch them, I'm afraid I'll hand them over to the lord and commit suicide by taking poison." Mrs. Jing said casually.

"Yes, ma'am." Seeing Xiaocui's end like this, Xiao Hong not only wondered in her heart whether she would end up in the same way, Madam Jing seemed to be acting in an unusually vicious way.

Chunxiao Pavilion

"My lord, the lord is getting better and better for you, isn't he?" Xiao Rong asked with a smile.

"Xiao Rong, why do you ask that?" Ye Anran, who was embroidering, put down her needle and thread, and looked at Xiao Rong in a daze.
