Chapter 359: Take Princess Yan away and give her two severe beatings!
Leng Jiu strode forward and vigorously brushed away Wang Erma's dirty hands. Xiao Tao panicked the moment she saw the bracelet. She subconsciously looked at Chu Nanyue: "Princess... this... I don't know what's going on..."
She had been busy the whole afternoon and didn't even notice when a bracelet appeared on her wrist.
After saying this, he quickly took off the jade bracelet.
Her subconscious action undoubtedly increased her suspicion of being a guilty thief.
Wang Erma's eyes lit up, and he snatched the jade bracelet with his big hand and said to Ji Qingfeng, "Master Ji, now that we have caught the perpetrator red-handed, it seems that the Princess of Yan was exiled to Yanzhou this time, and because of her tight financial situation, she ordered her personal maid to do such a dirty thing. Please enforce the law impartially and punish her in public, otherwise she will become even more arrogant in the future."
"How dare you be rude to our princess!" Leng Jiu shouted coldly.
"Oh, so the princess can steal? The princess can do whatever she wants and treat the laws of our Beixiao country as decoration? What do you think, Lord Ji?" Wang Erma shuddered with fear and quickly hid behind Ji Qingfeng.
Ji Qingfeng coughed lightly and spoke slowly: "Princess Yan, please explain why Wang Erma's heirloom jade bracelet appeared on the wrist of your servant Xiao Tao?"
Chu Nanyue patted Xiao Hanye's hand, signaling that he was fine. Then she let him go and walked towards Xiao Tao, saying softly, "Xiao Tao, think carefully, when did this bracelet get to your wrist?"
She naturally believed Xiaotao.
Xiao Tao was a little flustered at first, but when she heard her princess' gentle yet firm voice, she was no longer panicked. She frowned and thought carefully.
Chu Nanyue was also thinking about who they had met today.
"You can't think of it, right? It's obvious that you are guilty of a crime. If it weren't for the theft by the master and servant, the heirloom would have grown its own legs and run onto the arm of this little servant!" Shen Meng'er would not give them the time to recall.
Chu Nanyue, that bitch, actually dared to slap her twice in public, so she should be prepared to be beaten with a stick in the street by the officials.
I'll beat her till she's pissed and miserable!
And the Prince of Yan, he is blind and has lost his power, but it doesn’t affect his handsomeness at all. Even if he doesn’t speak, he is still the most dazzling person in the courtyard!
Thinking of this, she felt more and more upset and shouted at the top of her voice.
"Princess Yan, if you are so poor that you can't even afford to eat, just tell us. After all, we are sisters-in-law, and we will not sit idly by. Why do you have to do such a shameful act and lose face as the daughter-in-law of the royal family? Being poor is not terrible, but if you lose your conscience because of it, you are unworthy of being a human being! People like you are already guilty, and now you are behaving improperly. How can the people of Yanzhou feel at ease living with you? What do you think?"
As soon as she said this, it immediately caused discussions among the people around her.
"Yes, a princess of such high status actually stole her neighbor's heirloom. How despicable!"
"Who says it's not true? He looks harmless, but he is so shameless for such a small profit!"
"From now on, we have to stay away from them. Be careful not to get robbed by them. Money is not easy to make these days!"
......
Seeing that more and more people were disgusted by Chu Nanyue's behavior, Shen Meng'er curled up a smile.
"Shut up!" Xiao Hanye shouted at a group of people who could not distinguish right from wrong. What were they howling about when the situation was unclear?
His sudden roar reminded everyone that Prince Yan was still here. Although he was blind, given his previous reputation and the fact that he was blind now, he still had a strong aura, everyone shut up without saying a word. Instead, they looked curious, waiting for Princess Yan to be beaten in the street.
"Oh, fourth brother, you are angry and ashamed. It's just a bracelet. As long as Princess Yan takes the initiative to come forward and apologize, I am willing to spend money to help fourth brother's wife properly resolve the matter. I believe Wang Erma will not let go!" Xiao Liangce stepped forward to smooth things over.
Hearing this, Wang Erma's eyes lit up instantly: "Since the heirloom has been recovered, if the eldest prince can compensate me for my mental damages, I will not be unreasonable anymore!"
Is there such a good thing? Just by lip-syncing, you can get a piece of jade and some silver?
What happened today was actually caused by him being bribed by Xiao Liangce and Shen Meng'er.
He is a lazy person and he gets money for free. Anyone who doesn't agree is a fool!
Xiao Hanye was about to speak to stop him, but Chu Nanyue spoke first: "Humph, what a big double act, Xiao Liangce, stop pretending to be a good guy here, this jade bracelet was originally put on Xiao Tao's wrist when you came to my house this afternoon!"
Although they met many people that day, apart from their own people, the people Xiao Tao had closest contact with were Xiao Liangce and Shen Meng'er, who she had chased away by sweeping the floor.
With such a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, who else could it be but the two of them?
Xiao Liangce's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately said, "Sister-in-law, please stop talking nonsense here. I came to see you out of kindness, but instead you slandered me. How can this be justified?"
Shen Meng'er also said: "Princess Yan, please stop slandering me. Do you have any evidence? If you slander others without any evidence, you will be punished. How many punishments can you get with your body that just gave birth to a child?"
No matter what, Chu Nanyue is bound to get a beating today.
Best of all, cripple her or even kill her!
How could she be so lucky that she could get the position of Princess Yan without any effort, and even have twins, a boy and a girl, which she could never get no matter how hard she tried!
Smelling the extraordinary scent of Chinese medicine on her body, Chu Nanyue smiled slyly: "Who said that this princess has no evidence? And the one who will be beaten later is not this princess, but you!"
Shen Meng'er was so angry that she laughed: "I...your stealing is none of my business?"
Chu Nanyue also laughed and said, "Who said I stole it? It was clearly you who stole the bracelet from your wrist and put it on Xiaotao's wrist!"
Then, she said to Ji Qingfeng calmly, "Master Ji, please ask someone to bring me a piece of fragrant soap. I will prove my innocence now!"
Ji Qingfeng would not refuse even such a small request, so he waved his hand and asked the bailiff to bring it.
Shen Meng'er immediately said in displeasure: "Master Ji, how can you let this bitch lead you by the nose? She is the best at bewitching people!"
Ji Qingfeng looked at her displeasedly and said coldly: "Don't bother the eldest prince's wife. I know how to try and judge the case!"
Shen Meng'er wanted to say something, but Chu Nanyue didn't give her a chance: "If I heard correctly, the eldest prince's wife has been taking medicine to have children recently, right?"
Hearing this, Shen Meng'er's face instantly turned as ugly as constipation, and she angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will have someone pull out your tongue!"
It's really outrageous. How dare they make public the fact that she can't have children?
Chu Nanyue didn't care: "Real can't be fake, fake can't be real, this jade bracelet is worn by the eldest prince's wife, those medicinal herbs for seeking fertility have naturally penetrated into the jade bracelet along with your skin, one of them is Chuanlian, which will turn red when it meets soapberry water. You will know if it is your jade bracelet after trying it!"
How could Shen Meng'er dare to try?
Xiao Liangce's handsome face also darkened instantly. He glared at Wang Erma who acted as if nothing had happened. Wang Erma's heart skipped a beat and he immediately said, "This is a jade bracelet passed down from my family. My wife also wore it when she drank the medicine for fertility!"
The common people couldn't stand it any longer: "Wang Erma, you lazy guy, when will you get a wife?"
Wang Erma choked and said with his neck stiff, "If I don't have a wife, how can I have a lover? I am a handsome and elegant man!"
Hearing this, everyone exclaimed in unison.
At this moment, a mature and wise voice came from outside the door: "The Princess of Yan is proficient in medicine and is used to using some tricks, but it is obvious that she has run out of tricks this time. Lord Ji, don't let her control you anymore. Quickly have someone take her down and beat her with a stick to set an example!"
The person who came was Shen Quan, who looked constipated. His anus had been stretched too much by Xiao Hanye's men before, and he happened to be ill recently. Otherwise, why wouldn't he come to take revenge on Xiao Hanye the moment he set foot in Yanzhou.
Although he looked constipated, he had a great reputation in Yanzhou.
Firstly, he was a native of Yanzhou. Secondly, he was the highest-ranking official to come out of Yanzhou. Now that he has returned to his hometown, how could he not be respected?
Moreover, Ji Qingfeng was his apprentice.
Therefore, even though Ji Qingfeng originally intended to send someone to invite Wang Erma's lover over, he couldn't afford to lose face at this time. He pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Since Princess Yan can't prove her innocence in other ways, then I have no choice but to enforce the law impartially. Come, take Princess Yan down and give her twenty heavy strokes of the cane!"
Hearing this, Shen Meng'er was overjoyed, as if she had already seen the tragic scene of Chu Nanyue being beaten to pieces. She was secretly proud in her heart, thinking that she could finally vent her anger this time.
However, at this moment, a murderous voice suddenly sounded: "Who dares to touch her!"
