The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

"My, my throat..."

"my voice……"

Wei Lian pinched her throat in horror and coughed desperately, trying to cough out the damn earthworm.

He dug his long nails into the flesh of my mouth and neck, and did not dare to stop until blood flowed.

She felt as if the earthworm was still alive, swimming in her throat!

The squirming made her throat itchy and uncomfortable!

"Master, save me..."

"I don't want to be dumb..."

She opened and closed her mouth, but unfortunately no sound came out.

When Xie Yuantang looked at Wei Lian like this, a hint of coldness flashed across his lowered dark eyes.

At the beginning, the thin original owner also begged her like this, but she still forced him to drink the poison without hesitation.

Now she can finally understand the helplessness and despair of becoming mute!

As Xie Yuantang admired Wei Lian's miserable condition, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Sure enough, the happiest thing is to see the enemy in trouble!

Xie Yumo covered her face in a daze. When she looked up inadvertently, she happened to see the smile on Xie Yuantang's lips. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she pointed at her and shouted, "It's you! Daddy, it's Xie Yuantang! She must have poisoned you!"

Wei Lian also remembered something and pointed at Xie Yuantang, screaming "Ahhh".

Xie Yuantang blinked his big eyes innocently: "What did I do?"

"It's all your fault. I saw you smile!" Xie Yumo said viciously.

Xie Yuantang rolled his eyes: "Xie Dahai, I'm right to call you Xie Dahai. I told you that you are crazy but you still refuse to admit it. You said I poisoned you but I have been standing here without moving! And what reason do I have to do this?"

"Of course it's because you want to take revenge on us!"

Xie Yuantang was not angry at all, and looked at Xie Yumo with a smile: "Why should I take revenge on you?"

Xie Zhaoqing, who was standing by, frowned and his eyes flickered. He hurriedly stopped her: "Yumo, shut up, don't say anything..."

But his words were still a step too late, Xie Yumo blurted out: "Because the wound on your face was caused by us, and we also poisoned you and made you mute!"

Everyone: "..."

"Oh~"

Xie Yuantang suddenly realized, "You admitted this yourself. Father-in-law, did you hear what she said?"

Qu Pei's face was gloomy. He glanced at Xie Zhaoqing's family meaningfully and said in a deep voice, "Of course, I heard it clearly."

Xie Zhaoqing's face stiffened slightly. The Emperor already had a problem with him regarding the wedding for good fortune. If today's incident were to get out, his position as Prime Minister would be in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhaoqing's mouth tightened, and he turned around and slapped Xie Yumo in the face: "Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by poison and muteness? I'm not at home all day, and I didn't know that you did so many evil things without telling me!"

"father……"

Xie Yumo looked at Xie Zhaoqing in shock and cried aggrievedly: "Why did you hit me? It was obviously that bitch Xie Yuantang who deserved death, why didn't you hit her, Dad?"

"How dare you! Don't stop talking!"

Xie Zhaoqing shouted coldly: "Someone, bring the second young lady away to me!"

Several servants hurried forward and pulled Wei Lian and Xie Yumo up.

Xie Yumo stared at Xie Zhaoqing in a daze. She couldn't understand. She and her mother were already in this condition, why didn't her father quickly send a doctor for them, but instead beat her?

Xie Yuantang, however, sneered in his heart.

He is indeed a heartless man. He is so quick to abandon the car to save the driver?

It doesn’t matter. She will deal with Wei Lian and Xie Yumo first this time, and deal with Xie Zhaoqing next time.

Having made up his mind, Xie Yuantang looked up at Xie Zhaoqing and asked innocently, "I wonder how Daddy plans to punish Wei Lian and Xie Yumo?"

"punish?"

Xie Zhaoqing's face turned pale: "Isn't it enough that they have already done this? Do you really want to make it known to everyone?"

"Of course it's not enough!"

Seeing him being mean to Xie Yuantang, Situ Yan immediately stood in front of her, staring at Xie Zhaoqing and said, "They are the ones who did the bad things. Why do you blame your wife if you don't punish them?"

"It's not my wife who caused them to get hurt, but they did. How can you be partial to them?"

His words were straightforward and simple, but they hit the nail on the head, leaving Xie Zhaoqing speechless several times.

Qu Pei, who was standing behind him, looked at Situ Yan who dared to stand up, his eyes flashed with relief, and he said, "Your Highness is right, thank you Prime Minister, don't forget you just said that you will give us an explanation for what happened today. If you let him go so lightly... it will be difficult for us to report it to His Majesty."

Xie Zhaoqing's breathing stagnated, and he said unhappily, "Are you threatening me, eunuch?"

"We don't dare, but..."

Qu Pei glanced at Wei Lian and Xie Yumo, and snorted coldly: "This is related to the life and safety of the prince's wife. If the prime minister can't find out the truth, then I'm afraid we will have to report it to the Jingzhao Yin."

Xie Zhaoqing's face turned even darker.

If he reported the matter to the authorities, the reputation of his Xie family would be ruined.

"oops!"

Just as the stalemate was going on, Xie Yuantang's clear voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing his voice, Xie Zhaoqing's heart trembled, and he subconsciously looked at her vigilantly: "What's wrong with you?"

Xie Yuantang pointed at the broken black ceramic jar on the ground, took Situ Yan's hand and asked, "Husband, isn't that the gift you wanted to give to your sister? Why is it broken?"

"Ah."

Situ Yan nodded and sighed, "It's a pity that the gift was eaten by her."

Wei Lian: “…”

Who gave earthworms as a gift?

And she doesn't want to eat!

Just as he was going crazy, he heard Situ Yan say, "That black pottery jar was given to me by my father."

Xie Zhaoqing: “?”

Qu Pei: “!”

"So, Wei Lian dared to throw away the gift from the Emperor?"

Xie Yuantang looked at Wei Lian, then at Xie Zhaoqing, blinked, and gave him a thumbs up: "Daddy, your concubine is really awesome!"

Xie Zhaoqing: “…”

The word "ashen" could not describe Xie Zhaoqing's face; it was as black as coal. He stared at Xie Yuantang as if he wanted to stab her with a knife!

But Xie Yuantang didn't care. She just tilted her head curiously and asked Qu Pei innocently, "Eunuch, what should I do if I drop the gift from the emperor?"

Qu Pei smiled with a dagger hidden in his heart: "Anyone who disrespects His Majesty will have his entire clan executed!"

After hearing this, Wei Lian took a deep breath and fainted!

But she was mute and couldn't even make a "ga" sound.

Xie Yumo, who was standing by, finally came to her senses and tremblingly hugged Xie Zhaoqing's calf: "Daddy, what do you mean by killing all nine clans? Daddy, you can't just ignore us!"

"Dad, Yumo's face hurts so much, please help me get a doctor..."

She doesn't want to be disfigured, she doesn't want to die!

Amid Xie Yumo's crying and begging, she finally heard Xie Zhaoqing's cold and ruthless voice.

"Someone, drag the Second Miss and Wei Lian away!"

"The second young lady bullied the eldest sister and was disrespectful. She shall be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and confined in the ancestral hall for three months!"

"Wei Lian has insulted the Holy Grace. He shall be punished with 200 strokes of the cane and locked up in the backyard. He shall not be allowed to enter or leave the courtyard without permission for six months. He shall also be punished to copy the sutra 500 times. No one is allowed to ask for help to write for him!"
