Chapter 262 You really raised a good son!
Rong Er was so frightened by this look that her body began to tremble, "Your servant, your servant..."
The slave girl hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say the rest of the words. Just now everyone was vying to be the first to speak, but she didn't say anything.
Because she was an orphan that the lady bought from a human trafficker. She had no family or friends at all.
So she was still waiting, hoping that the Marquis would ask for help.
But, the Marquis's wife was so frightened that she had no energy to care about her!
When the Marquis of Yongchang saw the look Rong'er was giving his wife, he snorted coldly, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it! Come on, drag this slave out and beat her to death! There's no need to bury her body after she dies. Throw it directly into the mass grave to feed the dogs!"
"No! Lord! Don't!" Rong'er was shocked by this.
Death is not scary. What is scary is that after death, there is no place to go and you can only be thrown into a mass grave to feed wild dogs.
If this is true, then in her next life she will still be a servant who is trampled upon by others!
"My Lord, I was wrong! I was wrong! Don't throw it into a mass grave, and don't feed it to wild dogs! I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything I know!"
Marquis Yongchang did not say anything, but just looked at her steadily, and his meaning was very clear.
There is only one chance, and the consequences of not seizing it will be what I said before.
"Your servant, I followed the orders of the prince to find Madam Cai. The prince gave me the money and the medicine." After saying that, Rong'er knocked her head directly to the ground and never dared to lift it up again!
"Bitch! I treat you well on weekdays! But you dare to slander the prince!" When the Marquis's wife heard Rong'er's words, she stood up and smashed the tea set on the table towards Rong'er's head.
Rong'er, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to dodge and took the blow head on.
The Marquis's wife was already frightened, and this further provoked her, and her strength seemed to be even greater than before. She hit Rong'er's head directly, causing it to bleed.
"My Lord, please don't be provoked by such a lowly maid! How could Zhi'er do such a thing!" The Marquis's wife was still in shock, and she was eager to distance herself from Li Yanzhi.
The Marquis of Yongchang glanced at his wife, and then said to Rong'er, "Madam is right, you, a lowly maid, do you have evidence for what you said? If you don't have evidence, then your words are just slander and instigation. For a lowly maid who dares to slander the prince, not only will this marquis make her suffer all the pain in the world while she is alive, but even after death, she will die without a burial place!"
"Yes! I have evidence!" "Since things have come to this, Rong'er just gave up. "There is a box under my bed, which contains the jade pendant given to me by the prince, as well as the remaining silver and medicine powder. I only gave half of the silver and medicine powder to Madam Cai at that time."
"The prince said that as long as I handle this matter well, he will take me in as his concubine. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to look for me!"
"Someone come! Go get the things." Yongchang Hou shouted to the outside, and immediately someone waiting outside went to do the job.
"Who gave the young master the wound on his head? Who stabbed the hairpin into his chest?!" Yongchang Hou asked while looking at the rest of the people.
These people were all timid, looking like they wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
"Well, if you don't say anything, I will put the blame on all of you and torture you all to death!"
"No! No! It's not me! It's not me!"
"My Lord, spare my life! I didn't do anything. I just knocked the young lady from the general's mansion unconscious and carried her to the young master! I really didn't do anything else! The young master's injuries were really not caused by me! It was Li Dali, he did it!"
"Yes! Lord, it was Li Dali who injured the young master, not us. It has nothing to do with us!"
"Yes, it was Li Dali who did it!"
"Who is Li Dali?!" Yongchang Hou asked as he looked at the people kneeling on the ground.
"It's him!"
"It's him!"
"It's him!"
"It's him!"
Everyone pointed at the person kneeling at the edge.
Then, as if they had agreed beforehand, everyone moved their bodies away, leaving a large space between them and Li Dali.
At this time, Li Dali's face was already covered with dust.
The sweat on his forehead was dripping down in large drops, and his trembling body also showed how scared he was at the moment.
"It's you!" Yongchang Hou had seen this man before. He was a sweeper in the front yard. The area he swept was always extra clean.
"My Lord! Please forgive me! My Lord! I was told to do all these things by the prince! I am just a servant! I can only do what he tells me to do!" Li Dali was really regretting it now.
You shouldn't have coveted the beautiful wife and concubines promised by the prince and done things that would hurt the young master.
In order to ensure that the young master was dead, he hit him hard on the head with a stick before stabbing the stolen hairpin into his chest.
However, he never expected that things would turn out like this.
Not only did the young master not die, but even the prince's original plan to drag the general's mansion into this situation as a scapegoat did not succeed.
Yongchang Hou suppressed his anger and asked his confidant, "Where is that rebellious son? Have you found him yet?"
When Li Yanzhi realized that things could not go on as he had planned, he left the house in a hurry.
He knew that his father would definitely investigate, and would probably be furious.
The most urgent thing is to stay out of the spotlight first.
The father has only two sons. As long as he avoids the limelight, his father will not do anything to him in the future no matter how angry he is.
"Not yet!" the confidant replied in a very guilty tone.
"If you still can't find it within today, then you don't have to stay with me anymore!" Yongchang Hou stared at his confidant. Couldn't he understand the little thoughts in his mind? !
"Yes." The confidant bowed his head and accepted the order.
The person who had gone to Rong'er's room to look for evidence earlier also came back at this time.
The man was holding a box in his hand.
Marquis Yongchang took the box and opened it. Sure enough, there were two silver ingots and half a packet of medicine powder inside.
Most importantly, a jade pendant that Li Yanzhi usually wore was also lying quietly inside.
Marquis Yongchang reached out and took out the jade pendant, handed it to his wife, and then smashed the jade pendant heavily in front of her!
"You really raised a good son!"
