The inner voice was overheard, and the whole court was eating melons together

Will the princess be angry with them because of Bai Yucheng?

Lu Ning was extremely nervous, but she had to stand up.

Lu Ning bowed to Song Yaoyao, lowered his head, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly the fat woman spoke first:

"Princess, this is what happened..."

Song Yaoyao interrupted the Fat Lady and asked:

"Did I ask you to speak? Shut up!"

After being scolded like this, the fat woman dared not speak anymore.

Song Yaoyao turned to look at Lu Ning and asked:

"What's your name?"

Lu Ning hesitated for a moment, then told the truth:

"Common woman Lu Ning."

Song Yaoyao nodded and asked:

"What happened just now? Tell me the truth!"

Lu Ning knew that even if he didn't reveal his identity, the fat woman would still hold on to this matter.

Besides, the fat woman had just pointed out her relationship with Bai Yucheng, and the princess also said it. She had been here for quite a while, and I wonder how much she had heard?

Forget it, if it is a blessing, it will not be a disaster. If it is a disaster, you can’t avoid it!

After a quick thought, Lu Ning decided to tell the truth:

"Yes.

The woman was the wife of the former top scholar Bai Yucheng.

After my husband got into trouble, we moved out of the Zhuangyuan Mansion..."

Next, Lu Ning moved them out of Zhuangyuan Mansion and wanted to find a place to rent first. After paying the rent, the fat woman promised to sign the deed the next day. However, the next day, the fat woman went back on her word and did not return their rent.

At this point, the fat woman panicked and immediately spoke out in defense:

"Princess, don't listen to this bitch's nonsense. I didn't take her silver at all."

Before Song Yaoyao could say anything, a guard came forward and gave the fat woman two big slaps:

"You're speaking foul language in front of the princess. You deserve a beating!"

The fat woman then realized what she had just said, and in a panic, she actually called the other person a bitch.

The fat woman gritted her teeth secretly, but still said immediately:

“It’s all my fault.

I was in a hurry and said something that shouldn't have been said. Please forgive me, Princess."

"Don't let it happen again, or I won't let you off easily."

"Yes."

Song Yaoyao turned to look at Lu Ning and said:

"Lu Ning, please continue."

"Yes.

The Bai family is originally from a poor family and has little wealth. That silver is very important to us orphans and widows. Please ask the princess to help us women and ask her to return the silver to us. "

After Lu Ning said this, he bowed to Song Yaoyao again.

Chang Yuhe and her two children also saluted Song Yaoyao:

"Princess, please make the decision for us!"

Song Yaoyao gave them a helping hand and said:

“You all get up first.

If things are really as you say, this princess will definitely make the decision for you!"

The fat woman stared at Lu Ning and the others, but because Song Yaoyao was present, she didn't dare to speak casually, for fear of being slapped in the face again!

Song Yaoyao then looked at the fat woman and said:

“Now it’s your turn to speak.

I'll only give you one chance. If you really took someone else's money, just return it to them.

If you dare to deny it and deceive this princess, you know the consequences once it is discovered.

I remind you again, you'd better think before you speak."

When the fat woman heard what Song Yaoyao said, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the princess in front of her knew something?

While the fat woman was still thinking about the consequences of this incident, a middle-aged man walked out from behind the crowd, stepped forward and slapped the fat woman twice.

This man was none other than the fat woman's husband.

Last night, after the couple knew the identities of Lu Ning and others, they wanted to embezzle their money, but they didn't expect that this woman was not a pushover.

Even though they threatened her with their identities, she still insisted on getting the money back.

Now it has even attracted the Princess Protector of the Country.

He had heard that although the princess was young, she was very capable and fair.

In addition, after hearing what the princess had just said, he felt that the princess already knew the whole story. He didn't want the matter to be exposed in public and then be punished to do hard labor, so he quickly stood up.

The two slaps just now took the fat woman a long time to react.

The middle-aged man knelt down and said:

"Princess, this matter is all our fault. It's all because my wife is short-sighted and greedy.

We will refund the money now."

After the man said this, he took out five taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning immediately took the silver, looked at it and said:

"We paid five taels of silver yesterday, and this is exactly five taels."

The fat woman looked at her man's series of actions in astonishment. Wasn't it her man's idea to seize other people's money?

What do you mean she's short-sighted? She was clearly just following her man's instructions, so how could it all be her fault now?

The fat woman moved her lips twice, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Song Yaoyao saw everything the couple did, and she knew exactly who the mastermind behind this incident was!

The middle-aged man looked at Song Yaoyao and said:

"Princess, since I have returned the silver, can we leave now?"

"Wait!"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man's face changed drastically and he asked:

"Princess, didn't you say before that all we had to do was return the silver?"

Song Yaoyao sneered and said:

"Do you think that this matter can be let go with just a few words?

This princess tells you, this matter is not over yet!"

The middle-aged man looked pale and said:

"Princess……"

Song Yaoyao interrupted him and said:

“Since you chose to do this, you must bear the consequences.

Although you have returned the silver, your behavior is extremely bad. If you are not punished, the people will follow suit and the order in the capital will be disrupted.

How about this, you just compensate them with another 5 taels of silver, and the matter will be over.

What do you think? "

Before the middle-aged man could say anything, the fat woman got angry and said:

"We have already returned the silver, and besides, they didn't lose anything.

Why do we have to pay 5 taels of silver as compensation?

We have no money! "

Song Yaoyao's face fell and she said:

"No money?

it is good!

Come, send this couple to Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Yes."

As he spoke, the guards came forward. The middle-aged man slapped the fat woman twice and said:

"Princess, don't listen to this foolish woman's nonsense. We will pay the fine now."

After the middle-aged man said this, he reached into his sleeve pocket and began to fumble.

After a moment, he took out five taels of silver and then handed it to Song Yaoyao with reluctance.

Song Yaoyao didn't answer, but said:

"Give the silver to the victim."

"Yes."

Lu Ning was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should take the money.
