Chapter 194 An easy journey
Leng Man was so angry that she turned into grief, and she felt heartbroken and roared angrily.
"I would like to forgive you, but who can forgive the Xu and Leng tribes?"
"Zhuang Xianhui may not be very talented, but her father is Zhuang Shao and her elder brother is Zhuang Wei!"
"Zhuang Shao and Zhuang Wei, who are they? Do I need to explain them to you in detail?"
"The Zhuang family has done a great favor to the emperor. The emperor entered the government in his early years just for Lord Zhuang. Lord Zhuang has been raised by the emperor since he was a child. He has worn the dragon robe and the dragon crown!"
"Who are you? How dare you provoke the Zhuang clan?"
"Forget about the young generation. It's a pity that my father, who is old and respected as a general, has to be ruined by you. Are you worthy of my grandfather?"
Xu Yingyuan was so frightened that she knelt down on her knees, kowtowed repeatedly, and cried uncontrollably.
"Mother, please calm down. I really know I was wrong."
Leng Man felt annoyed when she heard this.
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. What else can you do besides saying I know I was wrong?!"
After learning the truth, Xu Mingqian calmed down, frowned and thought deeply, and came up with an idea.
"Yuan'er admits her mistake, maybe it will be helpful."
Thinking he was asking for mercy, Leng Man asked back nonchalantly.
"What's the use of empty words?"
"As a mother, I am still angry. Could it be possible that she can impress the emperor?"
Xu Mingqian breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with peace of mind.
"That was not what I meant."
"Ms. Zhuang San is a kind person. She has never done anything to harm anyone. Moreover, she and Yuan'er are close friends. I think she just wants an apology from Yuan'er."
Xu Yingyuan was surprised.
"what?"
He said this with a sneer, expressing his reluctance.
"I just have my own thoughts. I haven't had time to do anything yet. Why should I apologize to her?"
"Who am I? Who is she? Father, please think twice. I can't bring myself to do this."
Leng Man was impatient again.
"At this point, you are still so willful. Will you be satisfied only if you watch us become infamous forever?"
"We have never treated you unfairly, why are you harming us like this?"
"No matter if it's useful or not, you have to give it a try. When she comes over, you kneel down and apologize!"
"Did you hear me?!"
Xu Yingyuan looked down with displeasure.
"heard it……"
Not long after, Zhuang Xianhui came.
Xu Yingyuan was still unwilling, but her mother gave her a fierce look.
Even though she was not convinced, she still knelt down reluctantly and apologized perfunctorily.
"sorry."
Zhuang Xianhui ignored her, put down the lunch box and sighed softly.
"Father, considering that we have worked together, asked me to deliver food and comfort Mr. Xu and his family. May you rest in peace."
After understanding what she meant, Xu Mingqian and Leng Man were shocked at the same time.
Xu Yingyuan stood up angrily, smashed her food box, and roared angrily.
"Zhuang Xianhui, I've already apologized, what else do you want?"
"From childhood to adulthood, I have been such a proud person, when have I ever been so cowardly?"
"It's just a small matter, why are you so fussy about it?"
"Tell me, what did you do? Did you run to the emperor and pretend to cry and complain?"
"I am the one behind the scenes. If you have the guts, go find Master Xie and Master Teng, tell them the facts, and generously admit the crime of false accusation!"
Leng Man hurried forward and grabbed her daughter.
"Yuan'er, stop messing around!"
After scolding him, he turned to Zhuang Xianhui and tried hard to smile.
"My little girl is ignorant, please show some mercy, Miss Zhuang San, and let us go."
Zhuang Xianhui's eyes were indifferent and she asked knowingly.
"What do you mean, Madam Xu? It seems like I am deliberately making things difficult for you."
"But I didn't do anything. I just came here with good intentions to deliver food. Why am I being framed?"
"You have done something wrong, and you want me to take the blame for it. How can this be justified?"
At this time, Xie Mao was passing by on patrol and was stopped by Zhuang Xianhui.
"Thank you, sir, for staying."
Xie Mao came following the sound.
"What can I do for you, Miss Zhuang?"
Zhuang Xianhui smiled politely and pretended to ask.
"I wonder what Lord Xu has done wrong. Can I take the blame?"
Xie Mao understood and cooperated.
"Where do you start talking about this?"
Zhuang Xianhui immediately filed a complaint.
"They asked me to show mercy and admit the crime of false accusation. Is that what they meant?"
Xie Mao asked the guard at the door.
"What just happened?"
After listening to the guard's story, he chuckled and gave instructions to Yin Sishi behind him.
"Master Xu has one more crime to add, framing the lady and hinting at her to take the blame."
Xu Mingqian just felt that he had unspeakable pain.
"you……"
Xie Mao ignored her and looked at Zhuang Xianhui, making a simple gesture.
"It's almost time, Miss Zhuang, please go slowly."
Zhuang Xianhui nodded and smiled.
"Yes, I see."
Xu Yingyuan hurried forward and grabbed her.
"Don't leave!"
"Zhuang Xianhui, you can't do this to me!"
Xie Mao gave the order casually.
"Someone, take it away."
The guard came over and unceremoniously dragged Xu Yingyuan away, throwing her on the ground.
Zhuang Xianhui simply said goodbye and turned to leave.
"Farewell."
Xie Mao pretended to be kind and smiled at them.
"By the way, I have something to tell you. I hope Mr. Xu and Madam Xu will be patient."
"The war in the northern border is of great importance. Ordinary interrogation may not reveal anything. The Supervisory Minister Xiao has repeatedly advised the emperor to allow the punishment."
"If the emperor does not agree, he will go and ask for the emperor's order."
"Emperor Di Jin is kind and will not agree. But if something happens in the North Territory because of this incident, that may not be the case."
"What the superiors do is what the inferiors follow. Lord Xiao means that we must start with the punishment of the Grand Commandant Lord Leng. What do you think, Lord Xu?"
Having said that, he asked Yu Lengman again with a friendly smile.
"Does Madam Xu have any objections?"
Xu Mingqian frowned in response.
Leng Mansijuan covered her face and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Xu Yingyuan stepped forward.
"If you want to punish someone, punish me alone. I did it all!"
When Leng Man heard this, she stopped crying immediately, looked at her daughter in surprise and shook her head.
"Yuan'er, don't be impulsive..."
Xie Mao's smile turned away and he was no longer friendly.
"Is this true?"
"Miss Xu, do you know what would happen to a person if these things happened to him?"
Xu Yingyuan snorted coldly.
"Isn't it just a caning? Just go ahead and beat him!"
Xie Mao sneered and acted disrespectfully.
"Beat? Hahahaha..."
"Miss Xu, you are worrying too much. If you bring trouble upon yourself, you can leave Yin Sitai."
Xu Yingyuan smiled in surprise.
"really?"
Xie Mao answered truthfully.
"I dare not speak carelessly about matters of law."
"Miss Xu admitted all her crimes. According to the law, she will be expelled from the aristocratic family, demoted to a commoner, and handed over to the court to be...dead by slicing."
Xu Yingyuan almost fainted from fright.
"Ling..."
Leng Man was full of worry and hurried to help.
"Yuan'er, are you okay?"
Thinking of the tragic situation, Xu Yingyuan burst into tears.
"After we are caned, if we all confess our guilt, will we still be punished by lingchi?"
Xie Mao never tires of explaining this.
"You several families will share the burden, and you will have to reduce it appropriately, just like the Zhong clan and the Yao clan, who will be executed on the spot."
"Please rest assured, Yin Sitai's knives are rarely used and are still new. One cut will cause almost no pain."
"Looking at this time, Lord Teng should have finished his interrogation. When Second Master Xu comes back, you and your family can have a good reunion."
