The two black treasures of Tiangui's escaped concubine

Chapter 65
Linglong heard those people who didn't know the truth describe her young lady as a disaster in private, and said some dirty words without any scruples, she was so angry that she blushed, and said to Madam Gong: "Madam, look at these things. People's mouths, sooner or later, have to tell the emperor to cut off their tongues."

Originally, the most annoyed should be the family members of the Empress Gong, but Madam Gong was extremely indifferent, and she only lightly reprimanded the servant girl: "Whether a person is alive or dead, whoever does not touch the tongue is small-minded, and the tongue will naturally succeed." You should know that I am the most annoying person to gossip in front of me, and copy the Tao Te Ching for me when I go back.”

Linglong was taken aback, she didn't dare to be quick to speak, and promised in a low voice: "I will listen to Madam's instructions when I go back, I will copy the scriptures to train my mind, cultivate my morality, and not cause trouble to Madam, Young Master, or Miss."

Mrs. Gong glanced lightly at those ordinary people and storytellers who made fun of her daughter and son-in-law, and the sigh in her heart could only be understood by those who had experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom.Therefore, it is easy to get riches and honors, and there are not many people who are in the rivers and lakes without being beaten.

Hua Xiyan listened to those people telling Li Zimo's jokes, at first she listened carefully, because she didn't know and wanted to understand, but after listening too much, she also felt tired.Isn't coming and going just taking other people's suffering and happiness to relieve yourself, it's really boring.

It's better for my son to be this age, pure and simple.People say that the two snacks only know how to eat, so it's not wrong to eat.For the last bun, they fought again.

"Nini, you eat more than me, this is mine now, let go of your mouth!"

Little Pig Nini clung to the other half of the steamed stuffed bun and refused to let go.

Xiaoshou and Zhuya fought for a while, the bun split in two, and the pork stuffing flew out of the bun.The arc of the piece of meat crossed the stairs and flew straight downstairs.Li Pingshu, the storyteller, felt as he was talking, when suddenly his nose felt hot, he reached out to touch it, and touched a piece of pork stuffing.

The audience who listened to the book burst into laughter when they saw his embarrassing appearance.

Seeing this, Linglong chuckled, thinking that Li Pingshu is good, saying bad things about her lady, at the moment, although no one will punish her, but this natural disaster is enough for him to make a fool of himself, and in a few days, the scandal will spread all over the streets lane.Turning around, looking at that little Mumu who ate his mouth full of steamed buns, his eyes softened, not as disgusted as before.Looking at the lady next to her, she was already looking at Xiao Mumu with a smile, she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

One hundred steamed buns were baked, Xiao Er wrapped them up and handed them to Hua Xiyan.After paying the silver, Hua Xiyan took her son back to the inn.

Seeing the pair of mother and son going downstairs, Mrs. Gong looked away, picked up a cup of scented tea, and drank it slowly. At the same time, the corners of her smiling lips flattened, as if there was a trace of dead seriousness.

Linglong's heartbeat quickened, and she felt that her master's mood today was very strange, sometimes good and sometimes bad, just now, she was smiling, why was she suddenly silent at this time.

Madam Gong, who had finished drinking half a cup of hot tea, pondered: "Order the chief follower to go to the Ministry of Punishments and ask if the young master will go home for dinner at noon?"

"Your maidservant, ask Chang Sui to ask, madam." After Linglong responded, she immediately went downstairs to find Chang Sui.

Madam Gong's gaze stayed for a long time on the dining table where Hua Xiyan's mother and son had dinner.

Ministry of Punishment.

In the dungeon, whippings and horrific screams passed through the wall, and Hua Shu'er and Longan hugged each other tightly like frightened birds.

"grown ups!"

Hearing the jailers saluting in unison, Hua Shu'er and Gui Yuan felt as if a great man had come down to the dungeon.

The firelight in the dungeon gradually outlines the figure of a man, who is wearing official robes, looks elegant and handsome, as if bringing a spring breeze to this dark prison.

Hua Shu'er and Longan opened their eyes, and rushed forward together, stretched out their hands from the middle of the iron fence to hug the man's leg: "My lord, my lord, we are wronged, please help us!"

The jailer came up, raised his toes and kicked away their hands touching the legs of the man's robe: "What's your name! This is our Lord Shangshu Gong from the Ministry of Punishment."

Didn't the minister of the Ministry of punishment come to sentence them?Longan held her head with both hands, trembling.Hua Shu'er's eyes sank, the dark light flowed, and she glanced at Gong Xiangru's beautiful face from time to time, and narrowed her eyes.

Someone brought a chair, Gong Xiangru gently lifted the court clothes, and sat down.Seeing the smug smile on the corner of his mouth, his gentleness and tenderness, it is hard to imagine his true identity as the official in charge of beheading.

Longan gasped for breath, and crawled over tremblingly, intending to beg again: "My lord, this servant is named Longan, and she is a maid of the Hua family. She always obeys the orders of the lady in the mansion. Please be careful, my lord. You will have the guts to decide to commit a crime on your own."

"You said, your lady ordered you to kill?" Gong Xiangru asked softly.

"Yes, yes." Hearing that the other party seemed to have a good temper, Longan strengthened her courage and said more, "Second Miss has been jealous of the Eldest Miss and the Young Master for a long time, and she has been plotting to kill for a long time."

When Hua Shuer heard this, she interrupted in a cold voice: "Sir, did you make a mistake? Although I don't know which country this is, since it is not Baichang, Lord Rong, Minister of Criminal Affairs of Baichang, is my father's good friend. , I’ve seen it before, so I’m clear about it. The internal affairs of my Hua family, the officials of your other country, are in charge of my Hua family’s affairs, have you crossed the threshold?”

Gong Xiangru didn't answer this question, the jailer was already a step ahead, and was furious at the master and servant: "When you die, you don't know that you have committed a treasonous crime! If you die and don't repent, it's you who are talking about it!"

"No, my lord. I really don't know who the prince you are talking about. I only know that he is the young master of our Hua family, the son of my elder sister, Hua Murong." Hua Shu'er said, holding her hands secretly. Hua Shu'er absolutely did not believe how Hua Xiyan's son turned into the little prince of another country. Hua Xiyan had such good luck that after being dumped by the virtuous king, she met someone better man.

Hua Xiyan was already out of shape at that time.Which man in the world would fall in love with a disfigured woman.

This is exactly what Gong Xiangru wants to know.

"You said he was your elder sister's son, so who is his father?"

Yes, as long as it can be proved that Hua Murong's father is an unremarkable person, it is possible to clear himself of the guilt of wanting to kill the prince.

"My lord." Hua Shu'er said, "Actually, we all want to know who the father of that child is. However, you should know that my elder sister was abandoned by the virtuous king back then, and she was so sad that she threw herself into the river. Later, it was She was rescued by a monk from Qingshan Temple. When my Hua family brought her back, she already had this child in her womb. So, this child is either not a monk in the temple, or—I can’t say much, and it must be dirty My eldest sister's reputation."
