Chapter 221: Eat inside and outside
"Why on earth is Master here today?" Bai Rongan asked, squeezing his neck after putting away his fear.
The reason why he was so confident was because he heard Uncle Wei once say that Princess Yongning was the most soft-hearted, and she was the kind of cowardly girl when she was in County Chen.
Seeing him start to speak, Xie Fengyue shut up.
She let herself break the branches and dance with her fan like a tiger, enjoying the slightest bit of coolness.
For a moment, the only sounds in the courtyard were the screams and cries of the executioners inside.
What's even more annoying is that when they begged for mercy, they only asked Bai Daguanshi to save them.
Xie Fengyue really felt angry and funny.
"Master, I have already made up all the money and gave it to the broken branches beside you. If you come to punish me for this, you might as well go and find out if there is any flaw around you."
Bai Rongan calmly analyzed what he had done in the past few days. After analyzing it, he only found a possibility. He spoke simply, straightening his back as he spoke.
She was as slow as a broken branch, but she came to her senses and angrily shouted: "You old thief, you are giving me eye drops in front of a girl."
Xie Fengyue stretched out her hand to stop the rushing branch, and asked with interest: "Guan Bai, why don't you think about other things."
Bai Rongan has been in the mansion for a long time, and has long been familiar with this kind of false inquiry. It is just a trick to prevent others from asking for it. He despises it in his heart, but does not show it with his mouth.
"I have been in this mansion for several years, and I have served not many but many masters. Princess, there is no need to use these false names to trick me."
After finishing speaking, he felt that it was not enough, so he added another sentence: "I have been sitting upright. I have not done anything wrong in the affairs of the house these days."
"Oh~ what about the ice you bought so much?" Xie Fengyue asked.
An idea suddenly popped into Bai Rongan's mind.
He had received a signal from Uncle Wei, asking him to publicize the marriage discussion between the princess and the Crown Prince of Wu.
Naturally, he did as he was told. There was no need for him to publicize this kind of thing, it was just a vague statement from him.
He asked the servants in the house to buy Zhenbing and announce to the outside world that there was a happy event in the house.
But he only mentioned it once, and he didn't even mention the wedding partner.
Seeing the change in his expression, Xie Fengyue suddenly smiled: "It seems that Steward Bai has remembered it. Since the steward has served the royal family for many years, he must know what it is to make false remarks about the royal family."
Bai Rongan shook his head, as if he didn't understand what people were saying: "Your Majesty, the slave can't understand what you said. Isn't there an old saying, catch the traitor, catch the double, catch the person dirty, this is a myth, why? I assume it was done by a slave.”
He is also smart, and he is very good at what he says and does, but it is difficult to prove his words.
But why did Xie Fengyue want to prove it?
She had reluctantly kept Bai Rongan in the mansion because he had been in the mansion for a long time and was familiar with the operation of the entire mansion, so he could save her worries. According to the current situation, not only did he not do anything for her in the princess mansion, If she doesn't worry, it will only cause trouble for her, so this person just can't stay.
"Steward Bai is worthy of being a member of the royal family and is a member of the royal family. He is quite smart and energetic." Xie Fengyue praised.
Bai Rongan felt relieved after hearing this. He felt that Xie Fengyue was indeed as Uncle Wei said, a soft-hearted master who was easy to fool.
As soon as he smiled, he heard the clear and beautiful female voice speak again.
"It's a pity that he was listed as a slave. He has some brains but not much. He will be dragged into battle and killed."
Immediately, Li Xiaobao took a step forward and twisted him back.
Bai Rongan suddenly became anxious. The two people who were beaten in the yard had made no sound. He. If he was suppressed, wouldn't it be a disaster?
"Princess, you can't kill me, Princess, you can't!"
Xie Fengyue raised her eyebrows: "Why not?"
"I, I... I am a person sent by the royal family. If you kill me, you will be slapping the royal family in the face."
His face turned red with urgency and he opened his mouth.
Xie Fengyue laughed heartily. She had not been so happy for a long time. "Did you forget something?" she asked.
Bai Rongan didn't care about this. He tried hard to break free from Li Xiaobao's imprisonment.
"I'm also on the royal list. It's a pity... I was on the royal jade certificate."
While he was talking, Bai Rongan was put on the execution bench. Two soldiers held up the execution sticks with fierce looks on their faces, as if they would beat him to death as long as the master gave the order.
Bai Rongan's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, and his thoughts were wandering.
"Poof"
When the court staff touched the flesh, it made a tooth-piercing sound.
What followed was Bai Rongan's scream like a killing pig.
Before his screams disappeared, another soldier's court staff came forward.
"Ahhhhhhhh."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty!"
Bai Rongan begged for mercy one after another, but Xie Fengyue was not satisfied.
Until the eighth court staff was raised high.
He used his last strength and said: "Young lady, you lady, someone instructed me to send the message."
Xie Fengyue stopped poking the grapes and raised her hand.
After only receiving a few blows with the stick, Bai Rongan had already lost half his life when he was dragged back.
His face was muddy with sweat, tears and runny nose, and he looked at Xie Fengyue and turned his eyes away.
Before she could speak, Bai Rongan told the whole story: "It's Uncle Wei! It's Uncle Wei! He asked me to do this. It was he who asked me to report the last time you went to Pingkangfang. Last time I gave him most of the repair money.”
Xie Fengyue's face darkened.
"Be more detailed."
"This mansion has been unoccupied since the death of the previous princess, so much so that the royal family has not even issued silver coins for a long time. Lord Wei came to the door and said that he could make this mansion have a master again, as long as I obey, You can let me continue to be the steward of this mansion.”
"What did he ask you to do?" Xie Fengyue asked suppressing her anger.
"Uncle Wei didn't ask me to do anything at first. He just asked me to serve him wholeheartedly. If there was not enough money in the house, I would go to him. But when the first repair money came, he took the money away, and the monthly royalties The things that were set aside were also taken away.”
Xie Fengyue suddenly thought of something.
In her princess mansion, the monthly quota is ridiculously high.
At first, I thought it was my mother who paid for it to make up for it. Oh, I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it.
It turned out that through so many layers of relationships, he went through many twists and turns to send money to his son.
Xie Fengyue's face had become calm.
She looked around at the servants who were hiding in the corner and watching secretly.
Then he said to Li Xiaobao: "Send the food you ate inside and outside to Uncle Wei."
It seems that she has been too well-behaved these days, and Wei Ning has forgotten his sister, and is not the kind of master who can swallow his anger.
