Chapter 46
The princess's words made the onlookers burst into laughter.
But there was really a child who shouted loudly in a crisp voice: "I recognize the princess's carriage, which is as beautiful as the princess!"
The childish words made the laughter even louder.
Ying Dongjun glanced back at the door.
Everyone thought the princess was angry, and laughed suddenly, but she smiled and said indifferently: "Although I am young, I have some knowledge."
Everyone laughed again, and suddenly felt that the princess was not as unreasonable as the rumors were.
The princess not only punishes evil and promotes good, but also tolerate jokes from the people. The most important thing is that the princess, who was once arrogant and extremely noble, is now bullied by a corrupt official of the sixth rank, because the official's surname is Li and is a relative of the empress dowager's mother's family.
The laughter of the people made Li Zuocai's face look even more ugly. No matter how the princess said he was wrong, he simply pretended that he didn't hear it and turned around.
In this way, to the people watching, this official of the Ministry of Personnel, named Li, became even more arrogant and rude.
Alas, such a beautiful princess is actually quite pitiful.
Li Zuocai believed that the Li family is now powerful and ordinary officials dare not compete with their Li family. From the bottom of his heart, he did not take Yu Shunchen and Dali Temple Minister seriously.
In his opinion, although these two people have high official positions, they are from poor families and have nothing to rely on and are not afraid of. As for Censor Du, since he was born in Censorate and was a subordinate of Li Changfu, his own people are.
That's right, although Li Zuocai claims to be Li Changfu's nephew, they have actually given up five submissions. At best, he can only be considered a member of the Li clan. But even if he is a member of the clan, Li Zuocai feels superior, because as one of the four families, the Li clan has always united and protected his shortcomings. If something happens to him, he believes that the main branch will never sit idly by.
"Li has never seen this person who claims to be Xia Duoshou. I guess someone wants to take revenge on Li and instruct him to deliberately bite him." As he said that, he turned around and looked at Xia Duoshou with condescending attention, "Li is only thirty years old this year, so how can you have a godson as old as you?"
Xia Duoshou couldn't help but tremble when Li Zuocai saw this. He did not forget the look of Li Zuocai's eyes when he ordered his brother's legs to be broken. It was like now, as if he was not looking at a person, but a fly and bed bug.
He also remembered what Li Zuocai said at that time, and told him not to come to his house after leaving his house, nor to say things he shouldn't say, otherwise he would not want to be one leg of his brother.
Li Zuocai didn't even take Dali Temple Minister seriously, so it would be easier to mess with him. Xia Duoshou was afraid and immediately wanted to change his confession.
"Yes, I remember it wrong..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen.
Chen Ahua said: "In order to please Mr. Li, you not only gave silver and supplies, but also used the massage technique you learned from my father in your early years to run to press Lord Li's shoulders and neck from time to time. After Lord Li was massaged for a while, the back of the neck, which was always painful, stopped hurting. He was happy for a moment and accepted you and Erlang as adopted sons."
Li Zuocai was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Chen Ahua who had not cared about it with a calm face.
"Who are you? Why do you slander Li?"
Chen Ahua did not look at him, lowered her head and said, "The civilian woman was Xia Duoshou's wife before, but she was sold by him later. The civilian woman did not slander the adults. Do you still remember that she was suffering from neck pain in the first place? Xia Duoshou said that you also invited many doctors to the mansion for treatment, but unfortunately those doctors didn't see the reason. Xia Duoshou remembered the massage he learned in his early years. He had already forgotten it at that time and came back to ask the civilian woman."
"You, you, you, you are lying!" Xia Duoshou suddenly screamed, as if he had grabbed some handle from Chen Ahua. He pointed at her and said excitedly, "She is lying, I didn't tell him about the pain in his godfather's neck!"
Li Zuocai frowned and glanced at Xia Duoshou in disgust, thinking that this was a fool. Isn't it still not to put aside the relationship between them?
Others responded mediocre after hearing Xia Duoshou's words. He had already lie a lot and his testimony was not credible.
Chen Ahua: "You have it! You also said that your godfather had a big fur on his left shoulder blade. When you first saw it, you thought there was a big fly lying there!"
Li Zuocai's face changed and he stared at Xia Duoshou fiercely.
Xia Duoshou was so scared that he waved his hand quickly, "I didn't tell her, I really didn't tell her! I don't know how she knew it!"
Li Zuocai didn't believe it. Except for those who had served him closely, no one could know that he had a worries on his back. And the person who had served him in the mansion could not tell the woman.
Someone outside shouted: "Did Chen lie? Lord Li took off his clothes and saw it."
Li Zuocai looked outside coldly, and was so scared that the people surrounding the hall couldn't help but take a step back.
The Dali Temple Minister cleared his throat and asked, "Mr. Li, what Mr. Chen said..."
Li Zuocai truncated his words, "Li did suffer from a neck disease a few years ago, and there was indeed a snee on his back. But these are not secrets that cannot be revealed, and this woman may not know it from other places."
Li Zuocai cannot deny these two things, because someone who is interested can tell that it is true after checking it.
After hearing Li Zuocai's defense, the people present felt that he was a quibbling! If Chen had not learned about this identity from his godson Xia Duoshou, where could he know about it?
As long as you have eyes in the church, everyone believes in the so-called relationship between Li Zuocai and Xia Duoshou.
However, Li Zuocai had a very tough attitude and refused to admit it. The Dali Temple Minister had no other choice.
The people watching outside the door were also very angry, thinking that this person named Li was too disgusting. How could the Empress Dowager have such a relative? I remember that when the princess hit someone in the street, she honestly recognized her.
And just then, someone came from the palace.
A group of eunuchs came in from outside in a mighty way and announced the imperial edict.
Everyone sitting in the hall stood up one after another, while the people outside the door knelt on their knees. The only person sitting there was Princess Chengping.
The eunuch holding the order looked at Princess Chengping's legs, and said nothing, and said to himself: "It was confirmed that Princess Chengping did not have the fact that she forced the land and farm. She quickly settled the case and let the princess go back to her house."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and only Li Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.
