Chapter 22 Leave room
Feng Tianzhu’s words can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
People had already become suspicious just by listening to the conversation between Cui Baozhu and Gong Changan, but they were not sure.
Now that Feng Tianzhu said this, it can be seen that Cui Baozhu did intend to harm others.
"Little Prince, please stop talking nonsense. When have I ever done that?" Cui Baozhu argued hurriedly.
"Pah!" As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped hard.
Wu Shi’s willow eyebrows stood upright, her cheeks were red, she pointed at Cui Baozhu and cursed: "You black-hearted man! How dare you accuse my heir apparent! Why is he, a child, falsely accusing you?! Besides, Fourth Young Master Gong. I also said that you were the one who tricked him into this house!
Why did you want to harm my son? If you can’t tell me clearly today, I will bring shame to the Cui family! Lost!”
What Wu said was true. Although it was Gong Changan who was locked up in the room, it was because Cui Baozhu treated her as Feng Tianzhu.
It’s no wonder she was so angry. If Feng Tianzhu was really locked in the house and released a snake, he would be frightened to the point of falling ill.
"I...I...really didn't mean it." Cui Baozhu finally couldn't bear it anymore, covered her face and cried loudly, "Please...please spare me!"
She is really I didn't expect that the trouble would reach this level. I originally thought that Song's plan was seamless, but it was just dealing with two children. How much risk could there be?
"Listen to what bastard words she said!" Wu's eyes were on fire, but she couldn't stop crying. She hugged her son tightly in her arms, "How precious is this child to the Feng family?" , everyone knows in their hearts. It was me who brought the prince out today. If I was frightened because of this, not to mention that I would be reprimanded by the master and his wife when I went back. The distress alone would be enough to make me shed my skin. This is the flesh that fell off my body. Ah!”
Everyone present nodded after hearing this, and they understood Wu’s mood very well. Even though she is usually a bit arrogant and domineering, today’s incident is indeed dangerous, and everyone will be afraid of it.
"Secret Miss Cui, I can't tolerate your being sloppy now." Wen Mingqian knew it was time to express his position, "I have no grievances or enmities with you, and I invited you to be my guest with good intentions, but you actually committed such a vicious attack , and it’s to two innocent children. If you can’t explain this clearly today, I won’t let you go.”
"That's right, Miss Cui Er, just tell her now!" Liu Cuiyi also advised, "Fortunately, nothing happened. If we make it clear and beg for mercy, this matter will be over."
< br>Cui Baozhu lowered her head and just cried. She really regretted it now. If she had known better, she would not have waded into this muddy water.
"Secret Miss Cui, who is the servant who released the snake? You must know it! You should tell her first." Wen Mingqian said, "If you still remain silent, then I can only report it to the official."
"I say just report it to the official!" Mrs. Wu gritted her teeth with hatred, "I don't care about any grudges between you, why should you want to harm my son?!"
"Yes...yes Mother Liu is in charge of this yard," Cui Baozhu said out loud.
Even though she didn't want to say it, she knew that she was caught and it was useless to just deny it.
What's more, both the Gong family and the Feng family have higher status than the Cui family. If they join forces to force each other, how can I survive?
Mother Liu was soon found. Unexpectedly, she did not panic. She pretended to be ignorant and greeted everyone: "Madams and ladies, I don't know what to call me, old lady." "What happened?"
"Mother Liu, the young prince of the Feng family saw you put a snake in this house, and Miss Cui also said that she was in cahoots with you," Wen Mingqian looked at her. Asked, "Please tell me clearly, don't hide anything."
"Madam, I did put a snake in this house. But that's because there are always mice in this house, I I was afraid of biting something, so I came up with this method," Liu's mother said calmly. "Fart!" Mrs. Wu couldn't help but yell, "You're fooling the devil! Cui Baozhu has already confessed!"
"This is nothing." Mother Liu said with a smile, "When I came over with the snake, I saw Miss Cui Er. She asked me what I was doing, and I said to put it in that room. Catching mice.”
“Didn’t you know there was someone in the house?” Liu Cuiyi couldn’t help but ask.
"Oh, I don't know about this. This room is just for storing sundries. How could there be anyone there?" Mother Liu asked, "I put it in through the window and didn't look carefully. ! Who is in this room?"
"Your fourth young master is in there," Wu said, pointing at Gong Changan, "Just tell me who ordered you!"
"It's nothing!" Liu's mother shook her head and asked Gong Chang'an, "Fourth Young Master, why didn't you say anything in there? I didn't hear any movement at all. Otherwise, why would you put a snake in there? "
"You!" Mrs. Wu was so angry that she said, "You are so brave!"
"Miss Cui Er, what did you say?" Wen Mingqian turned around. Come and ask Cui Baozhu, "If Mother Liu really didn't know, then you asked her to let the snake out even though you knew there was someone in that house."
"I..." Cui Baozhu was so confused that she has not known it until now. I can't make up my mind whether to recruit the Song family.
"Let's do this! The young lady of the Feng family must know the truth, but the face of Miss Cui, a girl who has not yet left the cabinet, is also important." Wen Mingqian decided to be the peacemaker, "Please ask everyone else to go back first. It’s enough for the three of us to explain things clearly at the table.”
Wu was still a little unwilling, so Wen Mingqian in turn enlightened her: "My dear madam, today's matter is a real matter, and in the end it will just embarrass her. After all, nothing happened to the young prince, and she is an official's wife. , at most we have to pay some money.
And it’s about the face of our three families. It won’t look good if it gets too big, and even you will be in trouble.”
Although Mrs. Wu is unwilling to do so, But I think what Wen Mingqian said makes sense. Wen Mingqian didn't invite her today. She came on her own, so she was considered an uninvited guest.
I didn’t take good care of my son and almost got into an accident. If my family found out, they would definitely get scolded.
What's more important is that if she is not allowed to show up in public or take her son out in the future, it will be too much to gain.
After all, she likes to show off in front of others. If she can't do this anymore, it will be worse than killing her.
"Okay! It'll be an advantage for her!" Wu glanced at Cui Baozhu reluctantly.
Afterwards everyone dispersed, Wen Mingqian softened his tone and said to Cui Baozhu: "Miss Cui Er, we have saved you face, you should be honest with us. You are a girl who has not left the court, If this matter spreads out, how can she get married? "
When it comes to getting married, Cui Baozhu couldn't stop crying. If it weren't for this, how could she be the Song family's accomplice?
