The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 155 Xu Shi Was Grounded

"You bullshit!"

Lily looked panicked, kowtowed heavily, and said: "Old Madam, this servant really doesn't know this Taoist priest, I don't know why he wants to frame this servant, you must not believe his slander!"

"The small words are true. If the old lady doesn't believe you, look. This is the 100 taels of silver note that this maid gave me that day, and she went to the East Wing Room last night to threaten the small one, saying that if there is any mistake, the old lady will not be allowed to accept it." People learned that I was instigated by her and her wife, otherwise I will take my life."

Trembling, Taoist Ling Xiao took out a purse and a bank note from his arms, and put them on the ground.

"If it weren't for this, the little one wouldn't be forced to run away from the prime minister's mansion. I beg the old lady to spare my life for the sake of telling the truth about the little one..."

Lily's face was as pale as paper, but she was still retorting.

"No, old lady, this servant doesn't know... this servant doesn't know him, he is framing this servant!"

Mrs. Xu clenched her palms tightly, her face turning blue and white.

Under the old lady's increasingly cold eyes, she panicked and said: "Mother, you have to trust me, I have never let Lily order this Taoist priest, I am completely unaware of all this."

Lin Qingqian pressed her step by step and said: "Mother, Lily is a mere maid, and her monthly salary is only a few taels. She can be so rich, and she can get 100 taels of silver bills every time she makes a move, and there are dozens of taels in this purse. It just doesn't make sense."

Wen followed closely and said: "Qingqian's words are very true. It is absolutely impossible for a maid like Baihe to give out more than 100 taels all at once."

With tears in Wen's eyes, he said: "Mother, my sister not only caused my concubine's miscarriage, but also killed Qingqian's life. Please be the master for us, otherwise in the future, this huge prime minister's mansion will be destroyed." There is no such thing as fairness."

Lin Qingrou also begged: "Grandmother, please make the decision for my mother and third sister."

Xu's face was full of tears, and she still insisted: "Mother, I really don't have a body, please trust me..."

"enough!"

The old lady was full of anger, she stood up abruptly, pointed at Mrs. Xu with trembling fingers, and said word by word: "Now that the evidence is solid, you still don't repent, and you still want to quibble!"

"No, I don't have..."

The old lady was furious, her chest was heaving violently due to the anger, she took a deep breath, and said sharply: "Ms. Xu has lost her morals, has a vicious heart, and is not worthy of being the head of the prime minister's house. From today on..."

Before the old lady finished speaking, a servant girl came in from outside the door and said, "Old lady, the Prime Minister is here."

Lin Langtian walked quickly in his official uniform, apparently just returned from the palace.

Lin Langtian bowed to the old lady, "Mother."

He looked at the kneeling people and the old lady with an extremely ugly face, and asked, "Mother, what's going on?"

The weeping Mrs. Xu seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and knelt down to Lin Langtian's feet, grabbed his hem, and begged: "Master, I know I'm wrong, I don't dare anymore, please beg your mother, The concubine really knew it was wrong."

Lin Langtian frowned, puzzled.

The old lady snorted coldly and said: "Langtian came back at just the right time. Mrs. Xu lost her wife's virtue. She poisoned Mrs. Wen's miscarriage with her personal servant girl and ordered this Taoist priest to kill Qingqian's life. Now that the evidence is solid, she is not responsible for it anymore." Mistress of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, give her a letter of divorce, and she will have nothing to do with our Prime Minister from now on!”

The old lady's words made everyone present startled.

Mrs. Xu never thought that the old lady would ask Lin Langtian to put her out of the house, so she cried more and more.

"Mother, I really know I was wrong. I beg you to forgive me this time because I have been serving you and your husband with all my heart and soul all these years since I entered the mansion."

"Serve with all your heart? Mrs. Xu, ask yourself, since you entered the mansion, have the miscarriages and children who died in the mansion really have nothing to do with you? So much blood of my Lin family has been given by you, a vicious woman. harmed!"

It's not that the old lady has never suspected Xu over the years, but she suffers from lack of evidence.

Seeing Mrs. Xu now, I can think of adding saffron to the mouth fat and causing Wen's miscarriage. It is conceivable how clever the methods have been all along.

"No, I just got confused this time, mother, I really don't have..."

In the main hall, there was only Xu's crying and begging for mercy, Lin Qingqian and others were silent.

While Lin Qingrou and Wen's were resentful, they couldn't help secretly expecting Xu's dismissal.

The old lady was unmoved, and said firmly: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter, come here, prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Langtian will write a letter of divorce to Mrs Xu right now!"

On the way back to the mansion, Lin Langtian heard the little servant talk about one or two things, and now he can guess the ins and outs of the matter from the words of the old lady.

There are mixed feelings in my heart for a while.

When the old lady ordered people to prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones, he pursed his lips and said: "Mother, although Mrs. Xu made a big mistake, Langtian feels that she cannot be taken out of the house at this time."

Xu's eyes lit up, and he firmly grasped the hem of Lin Langtian's official uniform, "Husband, I know my mistake, and I will never dare to give up my concubine in the future, please don't give up my concubine, if I leave you, I will live I can't go down."

The old lady frowned, "Why can't you just get rid of this wicked woman?"

Lin Langtian said: "Mother, now that Qingwu has reached the age of Ji, he and the Third Highness should be married in a few days. If Mrs. Xu is dismissed, Qingwu's reputation will be bad. If this matter gets out, how will outsiders view our prime minister's residence?" ?”

Xu's family was divorced. If Lin Qingwu became a wife again, Lin Qingwu would change from a concubine to a concubine. How could a concubine be worthy of being the third prince's concubine?

As soon as Lin Langtian said these words, Wen Shi and Lin Qingrou suppressed the disappointment in their eyes, and knew in their hearts that it was impossible for Xu Shi to be suspended and go out.

Sure enough, the old lady thought about it for a moment, and then changed her words: "From today on, Mrs. Xu is sick and is recuperating in the Orchid Garden. She is not allowed to go out. I will handle the affairs of the house for the time being."

The implication is to deprive Xu of her right to be the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, confine her to Youlan Garden, and make her the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion in name only.

Mrs. Xu fell to the ground, her face ashen ashes, she twitched the corners of her mouth inexplicably, and said: "I thank my mother and my husband."

The old lady waved her hand and said: "Come here, take the eldest lady back to Youlan Garden to rest."

"Yes, old lady."

Two servant girls stepped forward to help the distraught Mrs. Xu away.

The old lady's eyes fell on Baihe and Taoist Ling Xiao, and she continued: "This swindling Taoist priest hit fifty big boards and threw them out of the mansion. This lowly servant girl will be killed with a stick!"

When Taoist Ling Xiao heard that he was going to hit fifty big boards, he rolled his eyes in fright and passed out.

The guards stepped forward and dragged him down. Fifty boards, with a body like his, even if he didn't die, he might be crippled.

Lily cried and begged for mercy, but was dragged down mercilessly by the guards for execution.

There were two people crying and begging for mercy outside the yard, and there was a dull sound of wooden boards hitting the body.
