Soft and crispy waist

Chapter 46: In just one moment, they all fell behind

After Gu Yizhi left, Tao Yurong, as the prince's consort, had to deal with the backyard. Xia Zheng didn't know why she took herself with her, but she couldn't ask more questions at the moment. She could only follow Tao Yurong step by step to the West Guest House.

"You are trying to inflict a crime!"

"You are the one who committed murder!"

Before entering the courtyard, I heard a quarrel coming from inside.

Tao Yurong looked at the guard, who helplessly reported, "Madam Xue and Concubine Xue arrived and started arguing with Madam Wei. We are men, so it's not convenient for us to go in and stop them."

Madam Wei is a famous tigress in Kyoto. General Wei does not have any concubines or maids in his backyard, and his only children are a son and a daughter born to Madam Wei. Therefore, Xia Zheng deliberately hid when Madam Wei came to the mansion to see Wei Qingqing several times before.

Now that Madam Xue is confronting him, she will probably suffer a lot.

After all, it was Xue Wuyang who drafted the invitation and arranged the personnel. Now that Wei Qingqing was in trouble, the first person to be angered was naturally Xue Wuyang.

And the person who arranged it...

He secretly looked up at Tao Yurong, who still had a worried and sympathetic look on her face. She signaled the guard not to blame himself and walked inside.

When the maid guarding the door saw Tao Yurong coming, she immediately went back to the house to report, and the noise inside stopped. Although there was a wall between them, Xia Zheng seemed to feel that several eyes were converging on her, as if she was being waited for.

"The Crown Prince's Consort is here. I thought that since I'm not dead, she would be so disappointed that she wouldn't want to come." Tao Yurong had just stepped into the room when Wei Qingqing's angry voice came over.

She was half lying on the bed, her eyes red, and it was unclear whether she was crying or angry.

The cloth on his arm was cut open by the sharp blade, revealing the bandaged arm underneath. A little blood seeped through the white bandage, but the injury was not serious.

"What nonsense are you talking about! The Crown Prince's wife is here to seek justice for you, but you still resist. It's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin." Madam Wei, who was sitting on the embroidered stool beside the bed, scolded, and she pronounced the four words "seek justice" very clearly, as a clear reminder.

Xia Zheng took a peek and saw that the man was in his early forties, dressed in luxurious clothes, with droopy eyes that were harsh yet shrewd. He was not like Wei Qingqing who was only outgoing. He was a powerful person, no wonder he could control General Wei so well.

"Since justice must be served, the Crown Prince's Consort cannot be biased. You were the one who assigned Consort Xue to draw up the list of personnel and send out the invitations. Although she is young, she has learned in our Xue family. She reviewed all the drafts after you reviewed them first before carrying them out. Now that something has happened, it is difficult for her to predict it. Besides, the other party came prepared. You can't let us bear the blame for this."

"Is Madam Xue teaching the Crown Prince's wife how to do things? What? Just looking at the list will get you off the hook? You and I are both mistresses. How many twists and turns could there be? Do you dare say you don't know? It's easy to just use some tricks, get help from the natal family, and insert a few people into the dark. What's more, they even went to the trouble of tricking the pregnant concubine into coming here. They're targeting someone with children. How would outsiders know there's a pregnant concubine? Apart from those in the mansion who haven't slept together yet and are resentful of her, I can't think of anyone else who has motives."

"So you mean to say that it was our Xue family who did it?" Madam Xue stood up angrily.

"Bang!" Madam Wei slammed the table and stood up. She was taller than anyone else, and her rise was so powerful, like a great army. Her wide-open eyes were like piercing spears, frightening Madam Xue so much that she took a step back.

"Madams, please calm down. This matter is still under investigation and will definitely lead to a fair outcome. However, it was indeed my poor planning that nearly harmed Sister Wei. I owe Sister Wei an apology." Tao Yurong bowed and half-crouched, a gesture of great courtesy, even for the Empress. "I will punish myself by eating a vegetarian diet for three months and praying for Sister Wei and Xia Zheng's unborn child. Sister Xue will be temporarily imprisoned in Linyue Pavilion until the matter is fully investigated. I will then punish her. Do you think this is appropriate?"

"Princess, you are already ill and in great need of nourishment. How can you eat vegetarian food and kneel down all the time? It's obvious that Concubine Xue sent too many orders. You have to take care of so many things at the banquet, so how can you take care of them? Why do you have to take care of this yourself..."

"Shut up!" Tao Yurong stopped Caiwei. "If you don't do the right thing, you should take the blame. How can you shirk it?"

These words were clearly addressed to Caiwei, but Madam Wei and Madam Xue both looked unhappy.

The two concubines are still concubines no matter how high their status is. Even though Tao Yurong's family has been defeated, she is now the Crown Prince's Consort and has a certain status. Apologizing to them is already a sign of submission. No matter which side makes excessive demands, they will not be in the right.

At this moment, Xia Zheng also understood the purpose of her being brought here. She stepped forward to support Tao Yurong and said, "The Crown Prince's Concubine has been working hard for many days and has exhausted all her energy. It is my incompetence that I cannot help the Crown Prince's Concubine. What happened today is also my stupidity. I didn't notice the clues earlier. The Crown Prince's Concubine should not suffer for me. I cannot bear it."

Xia Zheng immediately knelt down, and Wei Qingqing's mouth twitched twice.

This is clearly putting pressure on her.

If Xia Zheng, a maidservant, can't bear it, how can she, the concubine, bear it?

Even if she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, if she told it to the Xue family, it would still criticize the Wei family's style.

In just a moment, they all fell behind.

"What are you fussing about! Since the Crown Princess has made up her mind, just do as she says. It's not a big deal. It's just a minor injury. Why are you being so delicate now?" Just as he was frozen in time, he heard a loud and angry roar from behind him.

In a blink of an eye, Gu Yizi and General Wei, who was shaped like a mountain and had a tiger head and leopard eyes, walked in.

"Why are you yelling at her? Do you have to be dead to yell at her?" Madam Wei argued unconvinced, hugging Wei Qingqing. "It's not your flesh that fell off your body, and you don't feel sorry for it, but I do."

"You... well, well... I'm too lazy to talk to you." General Wei waved his hand towards Gu Yizi and said, "Although today's matter has been handed over to the Dali Temple, there are still many things to do at home. Since this little girl is fine, my husband and I will not bother you any further and will return first."

"I'm sending my uncle off."

Hearing Mrs. Wei stand up, Xia Zheng hurriedly stood up and moved aside.

But he felt a pair of eyes staring at him from the side, and when he raised his eyes, he saw General Wei.

Their eyes met for a moment, and Xia Zheng hurriedly lowered her head. However, General Wei did not show any restraint, staring straight at her until Gu Yizi extended his hand and said, "Uncle, please."

General Wei came to his senses, hurriedly withdrew his gaze and walked out, but before leaving he couldn't help but turn his head to take another look.

Looks like it, really looks like it!
