The vicious female supporting role is ruthless and arrogant

Zhu Tingting was scolded by Eunuch Sun, her legs went weak and she fell to her knees with a plop, crawling on the ground and trembling.

"I pay my respects to your majesty."

"Who are you? What's your identity?" Jun Yisheng asked lazily.

"I am the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Zhu Tingting..."

"You are the daughter of the Minister of Revenue?" Jun Yisheng's voice was icy cold, and his fingers kept tapping on the armrests of the dragon throne. "But why did I hear that the daughter of the Minister of Revenue was called Zhu Jin?"

"I, I, my father, made my mother the principal wife yesterday." Zhu Tingting turned her head to look at her biological father who was kneeling beside her, her voice trembling.

Jun Yisheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Hao, "Minister Zhu, do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty, my daughter is young and ignorant. Perhaps she really envied her elder sister and was jealous, so she made a mistake and said she was my legitimate daughter.

My wife has been dead for many years, and this house needs someone to take care of it. Yesterday, I temporarily handed over the power of managing the house to the concubine in the house, and did not promote her to be the principal wife. "

At this time, the court began to discuss, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you envy the legitimate daughter? She looks like she is wearing gold and silver, I'm afraid the legitimate sister will envy her, right?"

"That's right. This Minister of Revenue is really good at making up stories."

"Oh, I see that the concubine's daughter of the Minister of Revenue is dressed much more gorgeously than my wife.

How much silver does the Minister of Revenue receive this month?

Could it be that he embezzled his ex-wife's dowry or did something shameful?

Otherwise, how could he, a humble man, have so much money to buy such a gorgeous headdress for his concubine's daughter? "

After everyone said this, Zhu Hao noticed his concubine's outfit today and almost fainted in the Golden Palace.

This idiot is going to cause trouble today!

Sure enough, Prime Minister Wei turned his head and squinted at Zhu Tingting's head, but seemed not to see it clearly, so he walked closer.

After seeing clearly, she angrily ripped off the golden hairpin on Zhu Tingting's head, faced the emperor, and presented it to him with both hands.

“Your Majesty, this peony gemstone gold hairpin worn by the concubine of the Zhu family is exactly the dowry of my fourth daughter.

This gold hairpin was given to my wife by the Empress Dowager. When my fourth daughter got married, my wife gave her this gold hairpin as a dowry.

Also, the ruby ​​earrings on this concubine's ears and the ruby ​​necklace around her neck were all the dowry from my fourth son.

These things are gifts from the royal family. Your Majesty can ask someone to identify them."

Jun Yisheng gave Eunuch Sun a wink.

Eunuch Sun sensibly led the two young eunuchs down the stairs, trembling.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? This is all mine, mine...

Give me back...

Ah..., my ears, my ears are bleeding."

Two young eunuchs held Zhu Tingting down and took off all the jewelry on her head.

Eunuch Sun picked up the golden hairpin in Prime Minister Wei's hand and looked at it again and again, then checked the jewelry in the young eunuch's hand one by one.

He turned around and bowed to the superior, "Your Majesty, I have checked and these things are indeed from the royal family.

This peony ruby ​​gold hairpin was a gift from the Empress Dowager to her good friend, the Prime Minister's wife.

This necklace was captured by you during your attack on foreign tribes and was bestowed upon Prime Minister Wei by the late Emperor.

I have no recollection of the other items.

But what is certain is that they were all gifts from the imperial palace."

"Minister Zhu, do you have any explanation?" Jun Yisheng looked at Zhu Hao sharply.

The incident happened suddenly, and he really hadn't thought of any excuse to make it go away.

In Daman, it was against the law for a man to embezzle his first wife's dowry.

The punishment could be light, such as beating with a stick, or even severe, such as exile.

"Xing... Maybe, maybe the lady and my aunt have a good relationship, so she gave it to my aunt."

Zhu Hao himself felt that this reason was too far-fetched.

No matter how good the relationship between a wife and concubine is, it is impossible for them to give a dowry. They are not stupid.

Prime Minister Wei pointed at Zhu Hao with an angry look on his face, "You are talking nonsense, how can my fourth son give the imperial gift from the palace to your black-hearted aunt?

Are you kidding a ghost?

When the fourth daughter of my family passed away, she made a will in front of my Wei family, asking that all her dowry be given to Jin'er as a dowry.

It was obviously you and your evil aunt who embezzled my daughter's dowry."

“Your Majesty, I have been an official for decades and have never made any requests.

Today, I would like to ask the Emperor to make a decision for my dead daughter and my poor granddaughter.

Please ask His Majesty to order a check on the dowry of my fourth son. "

“OK!

Prince Bai, send someone to cooperate with the people from the Prime Minister's Office to go to Zhu Mansion to check the dowry list.

Remember, even if you have to dig deep into the ground, you must find everything."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Bai Ruize accepted the order and turned to leave the hall.

"Your Majesty, my wife and I are husband and wife after all, and she sometimes uses her dowry to help the family.

How is it possible to check exactly what is wrong..."

Zhu Hao argued with reason, hoping to find an excuse for when he found out something was missing from the dowry.

Marquis Jingyang looked at Zhu Hao sideways and made a sarcastic remark.

"Oh, Minister Zhu, this is the first time in my life that I have seen someone living off someone for free.

This eating posture is really too ugly. "

"I, I, I..." Zhu Hao was speechless at this moment.

"What kind of gigolo is that? That woman married my father, so everything she has belongs to my father.

My dad can give the gift to whoever he wants. What’s it got to do with you?

My mother said that those things were my dowry.

If I marry the prince in the future, I will be the future princess. Who of you dares to steal my things?"

Zhu Tingting jumped up from the ground and yelled angrily.

The court suddenly fell silent, and the officials looked at Zhu Tingting as if she were a monster.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Zhu Tingting thought that everyone was shocked by her and looked very proud.

"Are you scared? Don't mess with my Zhu family, or when I become the Crown Princess, I will let the Crown Prince kill all nine of your clans."

Zhu Hao, who was kneeling on the ground, was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

When this concubine's daughter was born, her head probably fell into her mother's belly, right?

Even though he had never attended any palace banquets or high-class gatherings since he was a child, it was impossible for him to be so brainless.

He was about to stand up and slap Zhu Tingting twice, but Jun Yisheng on the dragon chair raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Who told you that you will be the Crown Princess in the future?"

"My father and mother both said that I will be the crown princess in the future."

"Oh? Looking at you, your father has already arranged everything for you?"

"Of course, my father took 100,000 gold and helped me everywhere..."

clap clap clap...

"You evil girl, are you suffering from paranoia? Is the prince the one you should be dreaming of?"

Zhu Hao really couldn't bear to listen any longer. If he let his pig-like daughter continue talking, he might not be able to leave the palace today.

"Your Majesty, my brain is not very good. I have delusions and always fantasize about unrealistic things."

"Dad, why did you hit me?

I heard everything you said to Mom that day, and I also saw you..."

clap clap...

The two slaps caused Zhu Tingting's mouth and nose to bleed.

"Evil girl, if you say one more word, I will kill you today."

Zhu Tingting had never seen her father so fierce before. Didn’t her mother say that she would definitely be the Crown Princess and the future Queen?

Even her father will have to bow to her whenever he sees her from now on.

She is the Zhu family's future support.

Then why did her father dare to beat her like that now? Wasn’t he afraid that she would punish him in the future?

Jun Yisheng didn't seem to be listening to Zhu Hao's explanation at all, and his fingers kept tapping on the armrests of the dragon throne.

"One hundred thousand gold..."

You could hear a pin drop in the hall; the tapping of Jun Yisheng's fingers hit the hearts of the ministers again and again.

Zhu Hao even wanted to commit suicide immediately. If these words came from someone else, he could still argue.

But these words came from the mouth of his own daughter.

Any explanation I give seems too pale and powerless.

"Your Majesty, the dowry has been counted."

Bai Ruize walked into the hall with the dowry list.

Jun Yisheng raised his eyebrows and Bai Ruize nodded slightly. The two of them exchanged secret signals, but no one in the court noticed.

"How is it? Do they all match up?"

"When I went to the Zhu family to check on Lady Wei's dowry, I was stopped by a woman who claimed to be the wife of Minister Zhu.

Later, he was thrown into the county government office by the Imperial Guards on the grounds of obstructing official duties.

Madam Wei's dowry was not in the Zhu Mansion's warehouse.

Instead, she was carried to the women's courtyard of the woman who claimed to be the principal wife of the Zhu family.

We checked with the Wei family and found that the shop and the land were intact, but a total of 32 items of calligraphy and paintings, jade and jewelry were missing.

We looked up the account books of the Zhu family and discovered that after Madam Wei passed away, the Zhu family pawned and sold her dowry.

Moreover, during the years since Madam Wei passed away, the Zhu family has not given the legitimate daughter any monthly allowance.

He never bought any new clothes for his daughter.

I asked about the mansion, and found out that the food and drink expenses of the legitimate daughter have been reduced to the standard of a maid by the concubine in the mansion.

But the concubine's daughter in the mansion was spending money lavishly in the accounting office all day long."

When Prime Minister Wei heard this, he burst into tears and fell to his knees.

“Your Majesty, I beg you to do something for my poor granddaughter.

Zhu Hao is going too far, bullying my Wei family for not having anyone to stand up for Jin Er and allowing the concubine to suppress the legitimate daughter."

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I was busy with official duties all day and had no idea that the concubines in the family treated the legitimate children so harshly.

If I knew about this, I would not have let it go.

I will divorce that evil woman right now."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Hao quickly crawled on the ground and explained in panic.

Bai Ruize helped Prime Minister Wei up and looked at Zhu Hao coldly.

"Minister Zhu, don't rush to explain. When I went to your house to check the dowry, I happened to meet someone.

He claims to be a relative of your aunt and came to your house to ask for an explanation."

"Bring the people up."

A sturdy man was forced to kneel down by the guards.

Although the man was tall and strong and looked like he was very good at fighting, he was still frightened when he saw such a majestic scene.

Bai Ruize pointed in the direction where Zhu Hao was kneeling and said to the man:

"Aren't you looking for Minister Zhu? The one kneeling next to you is him, don't you recognize him?"
