Chapter 102 Punishment
At that time, the Dali Temple Minister and Jingzhao Yin took turns to speak, and the emperor just watched Rong Que standing there with a helpless and hopeless expression on his face, and his heart ached.
This is his son!
He was the crown prince appointed by him personally!
In the Great Yan Kingdom, besides him, Rong Que is the most .
Can……
Although he usually used Rong Que's identity as the crown prince to balance the court, and he did not care much about Rong Que, the emperor still found it hard to accept that his son was bullied like this.
Su Qingqing was able to say a few words, probably because she was used to being rich and powerful in Zhao State and could not bear any loss. If it were an ordinary noble lady, I'm afraid the couple would have to shut up and swallow the bitter pill.
"The Dali Temple Minister and Jingzhao Yin both said that the Su family's housekeeper ran away when no one was paying attention! They really take me for a fool!
A Dali Temple Minister and a Jingzhao Prefect, can’t they keep an eye on a servant of the Su family?
If they hadn't been playing tricks, how could this person have escaped !"
The chief eunuch sighed, but didn't know how to comfort her.
The emperor was angry for a while, then suddenly spoke again, "You said that the prince has no one he can rely on in the court?"
The eunuch chief smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me. How could I know this? I only know that even if someone can be trusted, it is definitely not the Marquis of Rong'an."
If he hadn't mentioned this, the emperor would have forgotten about it.
Also coming in today is the third young lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion.
A young lady from a marquis's mansion came to the Crown Princess and shouted at her, saying that Su Qingqing, as the Princess of Zhao, was trying to instigate the Great Yan Kingdom and the Southern Liang Kingdom.
What a vicious intention this is.
The emperor would never believe that there was no one behind her directing her!
Before Rong Que and Su Qingqing returned to the Prince's Mansion, the imperial edict from the palace was issued.
The adopted daughter of Marquis Rong'an was immoral and had no way of educating her, so the emperor ordered him to reflect on his mistakes for three days and fined him one year's salary.
When the third young lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion received the letter, she vomited blood and fainted.
If the emperor issued such an imperial decree, wouldn't it be equivalent to announcing to the world that she had a bad character? How could she live her life in the future?
Who dares to marry her!
Poor Marquis Rong'an just went to the farm after court, and when he came back he received such bad news.
His favorite daughter actually caused such a thing when he was away, and no one in the family stopped her.
In anger, Marquis Rong'an called his wife and several adult young men in the mansion to his side.
With a gloomy face, Marquis Rong'an sat in the main seat, while his wife, Marquis Rong'an, was crying beside him.
The prince of Rong'an Marquis's mansion looked at the Marquis' wife with an unpleasant expression, and said to Rong'an Marquis: "We all feel bad that my sister has caused such a thing, but isn't it too unreasonable for father to scold us?
My sister has always been spoiled by my father at home. Who can stop her from doing anything?
Not to mention anything else, the last time she had a conflict with the Crown Princess, Xin'er just advised her a few words. Doesn't her father know that her sister asked the kitchen to put almond powder in the snacks she sent to Xin'er?
Xin'er is still pregnant, and everyone in the family knows that she is allergic to almonds.
The son mentioned this matter to his father. Does the father still remember what he said to his son at that time? The father just said that she was a child and was just playing around.
Now that she's gotten into big trouble, her father doesn't punish her but instead blames us for not keeping an eye on her?
Not to mention that we dare not persuade her, even if we dare, she is already over the age of marriageableness, can we tie her up and not let her leave the house?
Why doesn't father check how the maidservant named Qingyue who was with her died? "
Xin'er was the wife of the prince of Rong'an Marquis's mansion. After hearing her husband's long speech, she hurriedly pulled him and said, "Father is angry, so you should say less."
After the prince finished speaking, the second son of the Rong'an Marquisate frowned and said, "Didn't Qingyue die protecting her master? My sister even went to Zhending in person at that time."
The prince snorted coldly.
"She died protecting her master? She was stabbed to death by her master!"
Hearing the prince say this about his beloved daughter, Rong An Hou was furious and slammed the table, "What nonsense are you talking about? She is just naughty. I put almond powder in your wife's snacks, but it didn't cause any big trouble. As a brother, you are ruining your sister's reputation like this?"
The prince looked straight at Marquis Rong'an.
"If you don't believe me, you can go check what she did in the fish rice noodle restaurant that day! If you think the result is unreliable, why not find a maid to check if her body is still intact!"
Without waiting for the prince to finish his words, Rong'an Houfu angrily picked up the cup and threw it at the prince.
Bang.
The blue and white porcelain cup hit the prince's eye directly, and a streak of blood flowed down, scaring the young masters and mistresses nearby into panic.
The prince of Rong'an Marquis's mansion clenched his fist and said to Rong'an Marquis: "Why is father so angry! Could it be that father thought that as long as you don't say anything about this matter, we won't know about it?"
After saying that, he grabbed his wife and walked out, "Father only has one sister in his eyes, so father should protect her safety. Don't wait until something happens to vent your anger on us."
Seeing his eldest son dragging his eldest daughter-in-law away, Rong Anhou slammed the table with a green face, "He's a rebel, he's a rebel."
After saying that, he stood up and slapped the wife of Rong'an Marquis beside him, "You taught him all this! You let him talk back to me like this?"
The wife of Marquis Rong'an was originally heartbroken because of the matter of the third young lady. After being slapped suddenly, she cried even harder.
There were several young men standing below, both legitimate and illegitimate. The legitimate sons, seeing their mother being beaten, hurried forward to take her away, while the illegitimate sons just stood aside, pretending to care but actually watching the fun.
For a moment, the study in Rong'an Marquis's Mansion was in chaos.
Marquis Rong'an felt a headache and smashed a cup, telling everyone to get out.
After everyone left, he was the only one left in the huge house. Marquis Rong'an slumped down in a chair, staring blankly at the beams above his head with lifeless eyes .
He loved his third daughter the most and wanted to give her all the best.
Since she liked the prince, he helped her to win him over. Even though the prince had already married a princess, he supported her and she refused to give up.
Qingyue's Death...
Of course he knew that it was she who wanted to frame the Crown Princess but failed, and she fell into her own trap. Qingyue went to save her, and she didn't want her embarrassing scene to be known to others, so Qingyue killed the man. She killed Qingyue.
She did the right thing. She had to kill Qingyue. Otherwise, what would happen to her reputation if this matter got out?
He just loves his daughter with everything, is he wrong?
He is not wrong, of course he is not wrong. Every father has his own preferences. Isn't it normal to prefer the child who deserves to be loved?
But now, the emperor openly issued an imperial decree, saying that he did not teach his daughter well!
How will his daughter face people in the future?
Also, how does the prince know how Qingyue died?
Is he the only one who knows this or does someone else know this as well?
All sorts of worries came crashing down on Marquis Rong'an's mind, and he felt a little breathless.
In the teahouse incident, not only the Rong'an Marquisate was punished, but also the Jingzhao Yin and the Dali Temple Minister. Because they failed to handle the case properly and let important criminals go, each of them was fined three years' salary, and the Jingzhao Yin was demoted and expelled from the capital.
In addition, Su Yunhe, as the head of the Su family, raised such a vicious slave that he was dismissed from office by the emperor.
