Adorable Food Goddess

This morning, Xia Chunyu was not idle, first inquired about the departure time of Shopkeeper Deng and Li Erniang, rushed to the pier to see them off, and then went to the Jingzhao government office. As expected, Xiaojing had already greeted him, implying that the prince attached great importance to this case. Now that the imperial court is making great efforts to clean up the official discipline, if it can follow the vine and uncover a few more corrupt officials, it will be considered a credit, so the governor of Jingzhao did not refuse.

However, Xia Chunyu is well versed in officialdom struggles, one ebbs and another, Mu Shilang doesn't just want to drag Wei Zhifu into the water, I'm afraid this time, the Ministry of Households will be shaken. Most of the people in the Hubu are supporters of King Yu, especially the Hubu Shangshu, who has a little relationship with Concubine Shu's family.

Xia cChun had a bit of a headache. From an emotional point of view, he was partial to the prince. After all, the prince was the eldest son of the emperor. Although his ability and decision-making was not as good as that of King Yu, he was superior in kindness, kindness and filial piety. Coupled with He Lianxuan's relationship, he hoped that the prince would win in this battle for succession.

But the emperor's mind is hard to fathom. As far as he knows, when the Ministry of Criminal Justice was trying the case of Mu Shilang, the emperor summoned the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice many times. After that, Mu Shilang never confessed to his accomplices. Is this ordered by the emperor? Hard to say.

If the household department suffers heavy losses, and it is Xiaojing's help, it is difficult to guarantee that King Yu will not fight back fiercely. In this way, the current relatively peaceful situation will definitely be broken.

If this move can completely defeat King Yu, it is still a good deal, but the problem is that it cannot, once King Yu counterattacks, and He Lianxuan, the crown prince's greatest helper, has not yet returned, it will be unknown who will die.

Xia cChun felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Xiaojing.

Fortunately, Xia Chunyu acted quickly and found Xiaojing before Mu Qinchu handed over the certificate.

At that time, Xiao Jing had just met Ye Jiayao.

Hearing Xia Chunyu's analysis, Xiaojing was enlightened, he thought things too simply.

According to Xia Chunyu's intention, let Mu Shilang confess some insignificant people, which can alleviate his crimes and not touch Yu Wang's core forces. This level can make Yu Wang feel embarrassed, and there is no need to counterattack. Moreover, it is difficult for Yu Wang to open his mouth to arrange his own people to enter the vacant household candidates.

Xiaojing was very appreciative, brother often said that Xia Chun was just an old fox, it was just as it should be.

Xia cChun calculated the time for Ye Jiayao to leave get out of class, and had to rush back to continue pretending to be sick, so he left in a hurry.

However, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he realized that something serious had happened.

Somehow, the Empress Dowager found out about Liuli's punishment and became furious. She had already summoned her father and mother to the palace to interrogate her. At the same time, he and Yaoyao were also summoned. The servants had already gone to the training class to look for Yaoyao. It is estimated that Yaoyao also entered the palace at this time.

Xia Chunyu took off Dahei's reins, and at the same time ordered Song Qisu to report to Helian Palace, the queen mother, the old woman who protects the calf, is sometimes unreasonable at all, this time, she needs to trouble Princess Yide.

In Ninghe Palace, the Empress Dowager was so angry that she was trembling all over, glaring at Jingan Hou, his wife and Ye Jiayao with a pair of cloudy old eyes, almost burst into flames.

When she heard the news, she still didn't believe it, how could the Jing'an Houfu have the guts to ask Liuli to kneel in the ancestral hall for punishment? But seeing Liuli's pale face, bruises on her knees, she couldn't even stand up, it made her feel so distressed, she asked Liuli, but Liuli refused to speak with tears in her eyes, and begged her not to pursue it, how could she not pursue it? Asking Xiaoya, Xiaoya also hesitated, saying that she had some trouble with the Second Young Mistress, she had knelt on and off for two days, and she was suddenly furious.

She herself was in pain like a baby, not to mention being punished and kneeling, but she had never made a loud noise at all. She handed over this beloved jewel, the flesh of her heart, to Jing'an Hou Mansion, but was treated so harshly, how could she not be angry, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Even if Liuli made some serious mistakes, she wouldn't be punished so severely, and it wasn't murder and arson.

The queen mother swept the three of them back and forth with sharp eyes like ice knives, and said in a cold voice: "Liuli is the most beloved granddaughter of the Ai family. I entrusted it to you in the hope that you will treat her well, not to let you abuse her. Today, you must give the Ai family an explanation."

The Empress Dowager got angry and drank so that Youshi's heart pounded, but seeing the calm expressions of Lord Hou and Jinxuan beside him, she calmed down again. There is nothing to be afraid of, this time it is on their side, and the royal power is overwhelming, so they can't be unreasonable!

You Shi collected himself and said, "Report to the Empress Dowager, it is more appropriate for the Empress Dowager to ask Liuli about this matter."

Such an answer made the queen mother even more angry: "Liuli has been oppressed by you like a little daughter-in-law, how dare she say it? Youshi, Youshi, you really are a good means."

Ye Jiayao sneered from the bottom of her heart, Liuli didn't dare to say it, she was wronged! Afraid that her scandal would be publicized, this confused old woman insisted on getting to the bottom of it here.

Youshi's expression changed: "The concubine is terrified. The concubine has always been tolerant to Liuli and defended her openly and secretly. For this reason, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law have been wronged. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you can ask the whole family of the Marquis and Liuli herself."

"The Empress Dowager knows Liuli's temper better than her concubines. If she is right, she has really been wronged, not to mention accepting punishment, she would have sued the Empress Dowager long ago." Lord Hou said indifferently.

Ye Jiayao said in her heart: Master Hou answered well.

The queen mother was speechless for a while, Master Hou was right, Liuli was very willful, she knew it best, if Liuli was really wronged, she would definitely tell her. But the question is, can Liuli compare with ordinary people? Even if there is a mistake, can't the Jing'an Hou Mansion take care of it?

"That's why the Ai family wants to ask you. The Ai family wants to see if your treatment is fair. If you can't slap a slap, is it all Liuli's fault? Ye Jinxuan is not wrong at all?" The Queen Mother shot Ye Jiayao coldly.

After all, it was because of this Ye family that Liuli and her could be regarded as deadly enemies.

Ye Jiayao met the Empress Dowager's gaze calmly. The Empress Dowager wanted to attack her. No matter who was right or wrong, the Empress Dowager would find a way to make her take responsibility as well, so as to vent her anger for Liuli.

I only heard Youshi say: "The concubine promised Liuli not to mention this matter, but the queen mother insisted on pursuing it, so the concubine had no choice but to tell the truth."

"Speaking of it, it's nothing more than some old grievances. The empress dowager is also aware of these grievances. Jinxuan has been forbearing, but Liuli can't let go of this knot in her heart. She colluded with Jinxuan's sister, forged other people's handwriting, and drugged Jinxuan to destroy her innocence..."

As Youshi spoke, his expression became more serious: "The Empress Dowager, as a woman, the most important thing is her innocence. Liuli's doing this is to force Jinxuan to die, and where is the face of the Houfu?"

The Queen Mother secretly gasped, did Liuli's hatred for Ye Jinxuan reach the point where she would be quick to deal with it?

"Where's the evidence?" The Queen Mother asked arrogantly, she wouldn't believe it unless she presented the evidence.

"The witnesses and physical evidence are all there, can the Empress Dowager pass witnesses to see the evidence?" Youshi asked.

The Empress Dowager's heart trembled again, no wonder this family has always looked calm, it turned out that they were confident, Liuli, Liuli, you are too useless, since you want to do it, you have to do it neatly, so as not to leave any future troubles!

The queen mother snorted coldly: "Personal evidence? Physical evidence? Who knows if someone bribed others, forged evidence, fabricated facts, and bit back?"

Ye Jiayao almost spit out a mouthful of blood, she's an old woman, she's not such a protector, is she? Ganqing Liuli's unreasonableness is inherited from the old woman.

These words made Lord Hou very angry: "To the Empress Dowager, the old minister asked himself whether he was too old to distinguish right from wrong, and couldn't tell the truth from the false."

The Empress Dowager's eyes froze, and she said majesticly: "Master Hou, are you accusing Ai Jia of being old?"

Hou Ye was so depressed, but he didn't dare to contradict him, and said resentfully: "The old minister dare not."

The Queen Mother frightened Jing Anhou, looked at Ye Jiayao, and sneered coldly: "Liuli colluded with your sister. That's your sister. Can you collude with Liuli? Who will believe it? If you want your sister to come to the Ai family for confrontation, can you tell the truth? It's nice to hear people to testify.

Ye Jiayao was completely speechless, a dead old woman can say black is white, how can she argue?

"Queen Mother, right and wrong are right and wrong, justice is at ease with people's hearts." Ye Jiayao said.

The Empress Dowager sneered again: "This is a very high-sounding statement, and it seems to be justified, but it is the most useless sentence. Aijia only looks at the facts."

"Then what is the truth that the Queen Mother thinks?" Ye Jiayao asked back.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were sharp, and she said in a deep voice: "The fact is that you are not willing to let Liuli overwhelm you everywhere, you want to get rid of it quickly, and deliberately designed to frame Liuli, so that she can't tell the pain, Ye Jinxuan, even the emperor appreciates your resourcefulness, but it is useless on the right path."

Ye Jiayao laughed angrily, she has never seen someone who turned black and white can speak so eloquently.

"The empress dowager is really wise. She didn't summon witnesses, she didn't look at the evidence, she could tell everything at a glance with just a few words, and she was so admired by the concubines. If you want to come to the Jingzhao government office, Dali temple, and the Ministry of punishment, the adults will be ashamed to hang themselves when they hear about it." Ye Jiayao retorted.

It's pretty funny.

The Empress Dowager's face darkened, and she said angrily: "Bold, you dare to mock Aijia."

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Lord Hou hurriedly took over the conversation: "The old minister begs the Queen Mother to be vigilant. Jinxuan is tolerant and self-disciplined. She never provokes Liuli, on the contrary, she always responds to Liuli's requests."

You Shi also said: "If the queen mother said so, our Jing'an Marquis Mansion can't afford it. Liuli has already admitted her mistake in front of the whole family, and Jinxuan has been wronged enough."

The queen mother said angrily: "She is wronged? Has she lost her virginity? Has she lost a piece of meat? Isn't she standing here in good condition now, and dare to speak nonsense to disrespect Ai's family? Is this called grievance? It is Liuli who has been wronged. She has never suffered a single bit of suffering since she was a child, but you have been punished like this."
