Chapter Fifty-Seven Who Is Right(2/3)
After listening to Zhao Keren's narration, Zhao Song became furious. He swept the tea cup to the ground and yelled at Zhao Ying, "You evil girl, what else can you say? How dare you murder my sister-in-law."
, it seems that you are impatient with life."
Zhao Ying knelt down quickly and said, "Dad, it's all my daughter's fault. My daughter is willing to accept the punishment. However, things are not as what the second sister said. My daughter definitely did not mean to push the second sister into the water. Please be careful, dad."
"Yes, sir, you can't just listen to the second lady's side of the story!" Mrs. Zhang quickly spoke up to help, "Even if you are interrogating the prisoner, you must give the prisoner a chance to defend himself!"
"Bold, you still want to make excuses." Qin Xianghe scolded angrily, "Do you mean to say that my lovely person will tell lies to wrongly accuse you?"
"Madam, since the second young lady is right, let the third young lady also say something!" Ms. Liu, who was standing aside, said, "Anyway, if what the second young lady said is true, then there is no need to worry about the third young lady's sophistry!"
When Liu opened her mouth, she didn't actually want to help Zhao Ying. However, she usually didn't like Qin Xianghe. Although the master doted on her, her background was always bad. Qin Xianghe often took advantage of her.
It’s her parentage that matters. It’s rare that she has such a good opportunity to fight back, so how could she let it go?
"Ms. Liu, what's the matter with you here? Pay attention to your identity. Are you qualified to speak about this matter?" Qin Xianghe scolded.
Hearing Mrs. Liu's words, Qin Xianghe became even more angry. Mrs. Liu was just a concubine, and she was just a brothel singer before. Now she dared to talk back here.
"You——" Liu was angry.
"Okay, stop making trouble." Zhao Song stopped him and glanced at Mrs. Liu with a warning look.
Zhao Song indeed dotes on Ms. Liu, but that doesn't mean he can indulge her. In any case, Qin Xianghe is his wife, and she is also the eldest lady of the Duke's Palace. He will never do it for her.
Liu's departure to offend the Duke's Palace. After all, if he wants to inherit the title in the future, he will definitely need the support of the Duke's Palace. In fact, to put it bluntly, in Zhao Song's heart, nothing compares to his future.
What's more important is that Mrs. Liu is just an obedient plaything to him, and he can abandon her at any time.
Liu received Zhao Song's warning and lowered her head reluctantly. Qin Xianghe saw that Zhao Song was on her side and gave Liu a proud look.
In order to show his fairness, Zhao Song said, "Ying'er, please tell me what happened that day?"
Zhao Ying spoke weakly, "Yesterday afternoon, the weather was quite hot, so I wanted to sit at the Lotus Pavilion because it was the coolest place in the house. But when I got there,
I happened to see the second sister there, so I just wanted to say hello to the second sister. But unexpectedly, the second sister became very angry when she saw me, insulted me, and then slapped me. Later.
, I couldn’t get angry anymore, so I started to pull with her. During the pull, the second sister accidentally fell into the water. I definitely didn’t push her intentionally.”
After saying that, Zhao Ying pulled off the veil on her face. When everyone saw it, they were shocked. Zhao Ying's face became red and swollen, so swollen that it was as big as a fist, and she could still vaguely see her palm prints.
There were traces of it. Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. It seemed that the second lady had really been cruel. How hard did it take to hit him so hard? For a moment, everyone looked at Zhao Keren with strange eyes.
Even Lin Xiran looked at Zhao Keren unconsciously.
Zhao Keren was very surprised when she saw the injury on Zhao Ying's face, so she didn't notice everyone's gaze. She obviously didn't use much effort, so how could Zhao Ying's face be so swollen? Could it be that Zhao Ying later became so swollen?
She did it herself. It seems that Zhao Ying was well prepared. However, I have to say that Zhao Ying learned well. This time, she was able to think of such a method. However, she should not be happy so early. Even Zhao Ying
It's useless for Ying to beat herself up. The witnesses of this incident are all on her side. Zhao Ying can't stand up.
Zhao Song saw the injury on Zhao Ying's face, and the expression on her face was hesitant. He didn't know who was telling the truth.
When Qin Xianghe heard what Zhao Ying said, she became even more furious and yelled, "Zhao Ying, you bitch, not only did you push my lovely woman into the water, but you also wanted to frame her. Are you willing to die?"
"Dad, mother, I definitely didn't tell lies," Zhao Ying cried and said, "I can swear, if I pushed the second sister into the water on purpose, then I would be struck by lightning and die. Dad, you want
I will never resist if you punish me. However, what I did today was definitely not something I did intentionally."
Seeing Zhao Ying's resolute look, Zhao Song couldn't help but be moved, wondering in his heart whether what Ying'er said was true. However, Keren has always been elegant and generous, how could he treat his concubine like this? But Ying'er
You don't look like you're telling lies, do you?
For a while, Zhao Song didn't know who was right and who was right.
Seeing Zhao Song's hesitation, Zhao Keren made a decision immediately, stood up and knelt on the ground, "Dad, you know your daughter's character well. How could your daughter do such a thing?"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Zhao Ying with tears in his eyes, "Third sister, I don't have to pursue the matter of you pushing me into the water, but you can't falsely accuse me like this!"
After Zhao Keren finished speaking, he cried quietly, not just sobbing, but one couldn't help but pity him. Even Lin Xiran, who was still doubting just now, was also infected, and couldn't help but blame himself. He clearly saw Zhao Ying yesterday afternoon.
How could he doubt Keren just because of Zhao Ying's few words? Thinking of this, Lin Xiran's pity for Zhao Keren deepened.
Seeing Lin Xiran looking at Zhao Keren affectionately, Zhao Keran picked up the teacup and hid the coldness in his eyes by drinking tea. It seemed that Lin Xiran was just a wallflower! He just heard that
After hearing Zhao Ying's words, he was obviously suspicious of Zhao Keren, but in the blink of an eye, he was convinced of Zhao Keren. It was such a "deep" feeling! How could he be so blind in the past? How could he?
I like such a person.
Now Zhao Ker and Zhao Ying were both kneeling on the ground, both crying so hard that Zhao Song didn't know who to believe.
Just when Zhao Song had no idea at all, Sun, who had been silent on the side, spoke up. No matter what time, Sun could directly see the key points of the matter very calmly.
"Master, except for the second young lady and the third young lady, was there no one else present when this happened?"
The words awakened the dreamer, and Zhao Song quickly turned his head and looked at Lin Xiran and Zhao Keran. They were both present when the incident happened, so asking them would be the best way to know.
Seeing Zhao Song's eyes falling on him, Zhao Keran also stood up and walked to the middle of the hall. At the same time, Lin Xiran also came to Zhao Keran's side.
Zhao Song asked, "My dear nephew, of course, you two were also present at that time. What do you think is going on?"
Before Zhao Keran could speak, Lin Xiran had already rushed to speak, "Uncle, when Keran and I got there, we happened to see Miss Third pushing Keren into the water, but Keren was still struggling!"
As soon as Lin Xiran finished speaking, Qin Xianghe rushed to speak, "Master, you heard it too! That means it was Zhao Ying who pushed our lovely people into the water, and she did it on purpose. Master, you must be cruel
We must punish Zhao Ying. She actually dared to murder her eldest sister. Even if she is removed from the family tree, she should be removed."
As soon as she heard Lin Xiran's words, Mrs. Zhang felt that something was wrong. Then she heard Qin Xianghe's words, and she was even more afraid. If the family tree was taken out, Ying'er would no longer be the young lady of the Taishi Mansion.
, what kind of good family will want her in the future! Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang became anxious.
Zhao Ying was also anxious at the same time, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Dad, there is a big sister who hasn't said anything yet!"
Hearing Zhao Ying's words, Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhao Keran with hope. Now she put all her hopes on Zhao Keran. She knew what Zhao Keran taught Zhao Ying last night, so she felt that Zhao Keran should help Zhao Keran.
Ying's.
"What else is there to say?" Qin Xianghe looked at Zhang and Zhao Ying fiercely, "Didn't the Crown Prince just say that? But since they arrived together with the Crown Prince, what they saw would naturally be the same. Besides,
, but she didn’t open her mouth to refute the prince’s words, which means that she also wanted to say this.”
"Madam, why are you in such a hurry to speak?" Madam Liu, who was standing aside, couldn't bear her loneliness anymore and said, "Prince Lin was not the only witness yesterday afternoon! After all, the eldest lady is also one of the witnesses!"
13acv.
Hearing Mrs. Liu's retort, Qin Xianghe was about to get angry, but Mrs. Zhang spoke first, "But, tell me, what happened yesterday afternoon is what the prince said?"
Zhao Keren was not anxious at all, because she knew that Zhao Keran also felt that Zhao Ying had pushed her into the water, and she was not worried at all that Zhao Keran would say something detrimental to her.
Seeing Zhao Keren's confident look, Zhao Keran sneered in his heart, hoping that after she finished speaking, Zhao Keren would still be so confident.
Zhao Keran slowly told what happened yesterday afternoon, "Yesterday afternoon, my servant told me that the Crown Prince was here, so I went out to greet the Crown Prince. However, before the Crown Prince and I sat down, Xianyun came in.
It was said that Keren held a banquet at the Lotus Pavilion and invited the prince and I to come over. However, when we arrived at the corridor, we saw Keren and the third sister seeming to be pulling each other. Then, we heard Keren shouting.
'Third sister, no! Don't push me', and then we saw Keren falling into the water. Then the prince jumped into the water to save Keren."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Keran turned to look at Lin Xiran, "Your Majesty, am I right?"
Kuai Ke Hall returned that. Zhao Keran told the whole story. I have to say that she was really skillful in what she said. She neither said that she saw Zhao Ying push Zhao Keren into the water nor that she saw Zhao Keren.
When Keren hits Zhao Ying, he just says what he sees from a neutral perspective.
Hearing Zhao Keran's question, Lin Xiran didn't know how to answer. He was right, that means he didn't see Zhao Ying push Keren into the water, but he was wrong, and the story of what happened seemed to be correct.
For a moment, Lin Xiran was in a dilemma, and couldn't help but regret in his heart that he shouldn't have spoken first just now.
Zhao Keren on the side was surprised. In the morning, Ling'er clearly said that Zhao Keran thought it was Zhao Ying who pushed her down. Why would Zhao Keran say that? For a moment, Zhao Keren only hoped that Lin Xiran would
He sticks to what he just said.
"Your Majesty, am I right?" Zhao Keran asked.
Forced as a last resort, Lin Xiran had no choice but to reply, "This is what happened."
After hearing Lin Xiran's answer, Mrs. Zhang quickly said, "Master, you see, the eldest lady and the prince didn't even see that it was my Yinger who pushed the second lady into the water. They just saw the relationship between the second lady and Yinger.
It’s just a conflict between them. The reason why there is a conflict between them is because the second young lady hit Ying’er, please be aware of it!”
After Qin Xianghe heard what Zhao Keran said, she couldn't help but glared at Zhao Keran. Why is this child so stupid? To put it bluntly, wouldn't it be great if she saw Zhao Ying push Keran into the water?
However, Qin Xianghe couldn't care less about complaining about Zhao Keran. The most important thing for her now was that she must not let Zhao Ying go. So, she quickly said, "You said Keren beat Zhao Ying, but there are people watching."
Are you there? But someone saw Ke Ren being pushed into the water. Didn’t Ke Ren know how to say it just now? Ke Ren clearly told Zhao Ying not to push her. If Zhao Ying didn’t push Ke Ren, then why did Ke Ren
To put it this way, there are only two people in the pavilion, Zhao Ying and Keren. She didn’t push them, so could it be that Keren jumped down on his own?"
"Then it can't be said that Ying'er deliberately pushed the second lady into the water!" Mrs. Zhang retorted.
Qin Xianghe no longer paid attention to Zhang, but said to Zhao Song, "Master, you know, but people have asthma, and she didn't want her life. How could she jump by herself? It must be Zhao.
Ying pushed her down on purpose."
"Master, it's unfair!" Ms. Zhang quickly shouted.
"master."
"Stop arguing." Zhao Song became impatient and shouted. Zhao Song was already annoyed enough in this situation, but he also heard Qin Xianghe and Zhang quarreling, which made him even more irritable.
Qin Xianghe and Zhang were both startled and immediately became quiet. Seeing that Zhao Song was angry, the two of them did not dare to argue anymore, for fear that angering Zhao Song would be detrimental to their situation.
Seeing that Qin Xianghe and Mrs. Zhang finally stopped talking, Zhao Song had the energy to look at his two daughters kneeling on the ground. Were the injuries on Ying'er's face really caused by Keren's beating? If they were really caused by Keren's beating,
That is to say, what Ying'er said is true, and it is possible that Keren accidentally fell into the water during the tug-of-war. Besides, Ying'er admitted her mistake as soon as she walked in, instead of making excuses.
