When facing the court, he faces the court. With the Queen Mother and King Wei as his backers, he is really not afraid of the Meng family!
However... Xie Yancheng secretly sent someone to deliver a message to King Wei and his brother Xie Yanqi.
It was already getting late, and by the time the two families came out of Jingzhao Yamen, it was almost dark.
The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture was named Tan Shixian. He was a person who was very important to the late emperor. Before the late emperor died of illness, he transferred him back to the capital and became the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.
This man was good at solving cases and was resolute. He convicted Xie Yancheng of slander and slapped him ten times in court. He also ordered Hong to apologize to Meng Shu, which made Hong almost fainted from anger.
This lady is used to being arrogant and domineering. This is the first time she was treated like this, so she naturally refused to comply.
When those cadres were beating Xie Yancheng, Hong rushed over to stop her. Although Tan Shixian sent someone to pull him away in the end, she acted recklessly. First, she threatened Tan Zhengxian with the Queen Mother. When she saw that they ignored her, her son was beaten until he screamed. , Hong cursed angrily.
If it were anyone else, Tan Zhengxian would have already convicted her of roaring in court.
But who asked her to be the queen mother's mother-in-law? The commotion was too ugly, and she might not be able to keep the black gauze hat on her head.
He beat Xie Yancheng today, which helped him maintain his resolute image, but it would definitely make the Queen Mother unhappy.
It would be great if the emperor could come to court as he has done recently and slowly take advantage of the queen mother. They, the courtiers, would not have to be as worried as before.
Ten spanks were not a heavy blow, and the cadres did not dare to offend these powerful people, so they were merciful.
But Xie Yancheng was used to being pampered, and after receiving these ten blows, he was really unable to get up, and was finally carried out of the Yamen by the guards.
Hong couldn't swallow the sigh in her heart and stared at Meng Shu and the others fiercely. She was about to curse a few words when she heard Lu said: "Mrs. Xie, do you still want to go to the Yamen?"
"You Meng family are really smart. You actually bribed Tan Shixian to humiliate our mother and son. Just wait for me. I will go to the palace tomorrow to meet the Queen Mother and ask her to make the decision for us." Hong suppressed the urge to curse. , turned around and got on the carriage.
She had not forgotten how cruel Tan Shixian was when she acted in a bad way and refused to apologize to Meng Shu. He threatened to lock her in the yamen until she changed her ways.
Hong was worried about her son, so of course she had to leave with him. She couldn't stay in the Yamen and be laughed at, so she had no choice but to obey.
She was the wife of the Duke of Guo, but she apologized to a young girl, saying that her words had offended her, and she hoped that she would not care about her...
Hong feels very embarrassed when he thinks about it now, and just wants to get back a win as soon as possible.
……
At the gate of the British Palace, the Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Tian, has been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that my husband and mother-in-law were back and everyone was intact, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She stepped forward and was about to ask, but Meng Yanxing reached out and pulled her up: "I'm fine, let's go into the house and talk!"
Tian was slightly startled and found that her husband had not let go. After all, she was in front of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. She blushed, nodded quickly, and followed in.
After everyone listened to Xuexuan having dinner, Meng Shu specially called Meng Yanxing to the study.
This was the study room used by their father when he was in the mansion. However, Meng Huaian had guarded Guiyun City these years and rarely returned to the capital to live. Very few people came into this study room, and there was no scent of ink, making it seem a bit dull.
"Brother, what happened today is really strange!" Meng Shu lowered her voice.
"That's right!" Meng Yanxing nodded: "That Xie Yancheng and I have no dealings with each other on weekdays, and there is no grievance or enmity. He said his move today was unintentional, but we are not stupid, how could we be deceived by his few words? He is obviously Deliberately, if you hadn't exposed him, he would have blackmailed us!"
"The Xie family has been protected by the Empress Dowager these years. Not only is it in charge of the Jinwu Guard, but it is also making a lot of money. They must not be short of gold and silver, so they have other agendas!" Meng Shu said.
"Yes!" Meng Yanxing nodded: "No matter what their purpose is, they just want to plot against our Meng family. I will send someone to investigate this matter."
"The Emperor has decreed that we will go hunting at the Deer Paddock at the beginning of next month. As a bodyguard, my eldest brother will definitely go with us. As for the third brother and the West Brother, they have entered the Xiaoqi Camp. I wonder if they will be assigned by Shangfeng to go to the paddock to protect the Emperor. safety."
Meng Shu paused slightly as he spoke: "Be careful!"
"Don't worry!" Meng Yanxing nodded: "I will tell the third brother and the west brother to be careful. As for you, Shu'er, you stay with the princess. Although there are many guards to protect you, there is always a way for everything. just in case."
"I will be careful!" Meng Shu nodded gently.
She would also send someone to investigate what happened today, but she wanted to see what kind of medicine the Xie family was selling in their gourd.
At the same time, the front yard of the Xie family in Chengen Palace.
Xie Yancheng, who had been beaten, was lying on the couch groaning.
The old lady Jin felt sorry for her youngest grandson. She held her grandson's hand and wiped her tears while scolding her daughter-in-law Hong: "What a good child, you have become like this after just one trip. You are a mother." , If you don’t protect him well, what use do you have?”
"Mother, please calm down. It's all your daughter-in-law's fault!" Although Hong was filled with grievances, she did not dare to contradict her mother-in-law.
"And you bastard, you're so good, why did you go and start a dispute with the Meng family? They didn't provoke us either. You even lied on the ground and pretended to have broken your leg, asking others to take responsibility, and the quarrel went to the Yamen. It’s not embarrassing either…”
After hearing what his grandmother said, Xie Yancheng immediately refused: "My grandson has already said it, and it's all a misunderstanding. Why doesn't grandma believe it? My grandson is hurt like this. Grandma, couldn't you just say a few words less?"
"I think you have been spoiled by your mother, and you are relying on your aunt the Queen Mother to love you, so you are lawless. I will spare you today. When you recover from your injury, you can go kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect!"
After the old lady finished speaking, she turned around and glared at Mr. Hong: "And you, go too!"
Although her daughter-in-law is well-behaved in front of her, she can be cruel and fierce in front of others.
Fortunately, he didn't let her take charge, otherwise he would have been mad to death.
"Mother!" Mrs. Hong wanted to plead for herself, but she didn't dare. She quickly turned her head and looked at her eldest son Xie Yanqi and her daughter-in-law Ye Shi.
As long as they say a few words for her, the old lady will not punish her.
No matter what, she is the princess's wife in this mansion, and she is forced to kneel in the ancestral hall... where is her face?
The old lady loves her youngest grandson Xie Yancheng, but the one she cares about and protects the most is her eldest grandson Xie Yanqi.
In the whole house, Xie Yanqi was the most effective in speaking in front of the old lady.
