After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy
Chapter 54 Embarrassing
"Fifth Miss, please speak with conscience. It's obvious that you, the Old Madam, the Second Madam, and the Third Madam have been asking my Madam to borrow a lot of jewelry every year. You've almost used up all the dowry my Madam brought. Yesterday, you returned the jewelry you borrowed from my Madam over the past five years just to borrow her most valuable jewelry. How come today, my Madam is insisting on lending you jewelry?"
No one expected Qing'er to speak, but her words caused an uproar among everyone.
It turns out that the people in Yonglin Marquis' Mansion have been using Jiang Xiyu's dowry.
You have to know that when Jiang Xiyu got married, her dowry was so grand. But how come her dowry was gone in just five years after she married into the Marquis' Mansion? The family of the Yonglin Marquis' Mansion has been sucking Jiang Xiyu's blood.
In an instant, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Xu Rui, Zheng and others.
Xu Rui's face turned pale and he felt it was burning. It was like there was a hole in his face and he wished he could crawl into it and never come out.
The veins on Xu Rong's forehead couldn't help but throb, and she kept cursing Jiang Xiyu in her heart for not being able to teach even a maid well. How could a maid like her have the right to speak in such a situation?
"Qing'er, stop talking."
Jiang Xiyu, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her head.
"Madam, why do you never explain every time you're wronged? Now that His Majesty and the nobles are here, if you don't explain, you'll really be considered the villain who used your dowry to frame them."
"Don't talk nonsense in front of His Majesty and the nobles." Jiang Xiyu scolded Qing'er, then stood up and knelt in front of Princess Xumin.
Seeing this, Qing'er also knelt down quickly.
"Qing'er is my personal maid. She has been with me since she was a child and we have always had a very deep bond. That's why I spoke without thinking. I beg Your Majesty and the nobles to forgive me."
After saying that, Jiang Xiyu kowtowed to the person in a higher position and pleaded for Qing'er.
Qing'er was so scared that she fell to the ground, but she didn't regret it at all.
Anyway, if they wanted to frame Jiang Xiyu like this, she would be the first one to disagree.
Glancing at Qing'er, who lay still defiantly on the ground, Second Princess Xumin's eyes were filled with admiration. "What crime has such a loyal and courageous maid committed? But you, you've been wronged, why haven't you said anything?"
Everyone present was smart and immediately understood that Princess Xumin's words clearly showed that she was on Jiang Xiyu's side and chose to believe the maid's words.
They also had their own plans in mind.
Hearing this, Zheng and the others became panicked again.
Princess Xumin chose to believe Jiang Xiyu. Will she blame them later?
Even Xu Rui frowned and looked at Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu kowtowed to Princess Xumin before explaining.
"Yesterday, my younger sister came to borrow some jewelry from me, so I lent her this five-colored crystal necklace. Later, my mother and two younger siblings also came to borrow jewelry, so I found a few more to lend them. We agreed that they would be returned after the flower viewing banquet. I have no grievances. Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."
Xu Rong was furious when she heard Jiang Xiyu's words.
Damn Jiang Xiyu, it turns out he was waiting for her here.
Originally, when she got this set of five-color crystal necklaces, she wanted to keep it for herself. She even included her mother's full green bead necklace in her dowry list a long time ago.
But now that this has happened, not to mention that she doesn't dare to embezzle these things, even if she is brave enough to do so, she has to return them now that the matter has become like this.
No wonder Jiang Xiyu was so willing to lend them the things yesterday. It was all for the purpose of getting back the things they had before. And given the current situation, they had to return them. She really had a good plan.
Zheng, Hu and Sun no longer have the brains of Xu Rong.
Now, even if they had ten times the courage, they would not dare to covet Jiang Xiyu's jewelry. No matter how valuable the jewelry was, it was not as important as their lives.
Princess Xumin looked at Jiang Xiyu deeply, and knowing that she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, she didn't ask any more questions about it.
"Alright, since this is your family affair, I don't want to interfere. As long as you haven't been wronged, everyone, please get up. We should not let this ruin everyone's interest in a good flower viewing banquet."
Zheng and the others didn't expect that Princess Xumin was so easy to talk to. She didn't punish them at all and let the matter go. They were all a little confused.
The fact that they borrowed Jiang Xiyu's jewelry was their family affair, so it was understandable that Second Princess Xumin did not pursue the matter. But Jiang Xiyu stole the precious jewelry of the late empress dowager and those nobles. Wouldn't she pursue the matter for such a big thing?
"Thank you, Your Highness." Among the kneeling people, only Jiang Xiyu was clear-headed and kowtowed to the Second Princess Xumin to express her gratitude.
Zheng, Xu Rong, and the others came to their senses and kowtowed to the Second Princess Xu Min. "Thank you, Your Highness."
After they stood up, Gu Wei curiously asked the Second Princess Xu Min, "How did the pearl necklace that the Imperial Grandmother always wore during her lifetime become the dowry of the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin?"
Not only was Gu Wei curious, but all the guests present were curious and they all looked at Princess Xumin.
Even Zheng and Xu Rong had a hint of anticipation in their hearts.
As expected, the emperor still wants to investigate this matter.
It would be best to arrest Jiang Xiyu and put her in prison, exile her to the frontier, or behead her directly.
Xu Rui frowned and looked at Jiang Xiyu, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Gulin's cold eyes also deepened at this moment.
Princess Xumin had no intention of blaming Jiang Xiyu. She looked at the ancient curtain and smiled, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that our mother always had headaches?"
Gu Wei nodded, "Of course I remember, the Empress Dowager does suffer from headaches from time to time."
Because his mother's family was in decline, he often went to his grandmother's house to seek her protection when he was very young, so he knew something about her health condition.
Princess Xumin looked at Jiang Xiyu again. "The mother of Marquis Yonglin, Wu, was a physician with superb medical skills. She cured the queen mother's chronic illness. This string of top-grade green beads was a gift from the queen mother."
Gu Wei suddenly understood after hearing this.
It seems that there was indeed a woman who often went in and out of the Empress Dowager's palace. Although he was young at the time, he was still deeply impressed by the woman because she was very beautiful.
Gu Wei raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiyu again. In his impression, the woman was even more beautiful than Jiang Xiyu. It turned out that she was Jiang Xiyu's mother.
But when he grew up a little, he never saw the woman enter the palace again. Later he heard that she had passed away and they had no contact, so he didn't take the matter to heart.
After Princess Xumin said this, everyone remembered.
Mrs. Jiang used to be a very special person in the capital. In addition to being extremely beautiful, it was said that she also knew medical skills and often went in and out of the palace to treat the empress dowager, the queen, and the ladies in the other palaces.
