The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

The torch illuminated the entire hall extremely brightly.

The flickering firelight clearly illuminated Bai Zhenzhen's disbelieving face. Her lips trembled slightly, and she looked at Xie Lang with a cold expression in front of her in shock, with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, you would rather believe the words of a maid, than Would you like to ask me personally if I have done it?"

Xie Lang didn't say anything anymore, just looked at her with a cold face.

After pausing for a few breaths, he asked, "Have you ever done this?"

Xue Mingyue on the side had a bit of sarcasm on her eyebrows, and her hand holding the small heater tightened. She knew that Xie Lang would be soft-hearted towards this cousin. Look, coldness is fleeting. That’s all.

"My grandma treats me so well. Even if I lose my mind and go crazy, I won't do anything to harm my grandma."

Seeing that his attitude softened, Bai Zhenzhen became bolder again. She lifted up her skirt and walked to Xie Lang's side. She said aggrievedly: "This maid must be messing around. She believed her as soon as she told her about it. It shows that she is serious about it." Don’t like me.”

As he said that, he turned his eyes to look at Xue Mingyue, with a faint provocative curve at the corner of his lips.

Xie Lang frowned quickly when he heard this, hiding the disgust in his eyes, and calmly moved away from Bai Zhenzhen's hand.

Xue Mingyue sneered in her heart, lowered her eyes, knelt down and saluted: "I have met the Marquis."

As soon as she finished speaking, a pair of big hands lifted her up through the cloak.

"You and I, husband and wife, don't need to be polite."

Xie Lang was tall and slender, and as soon as he got close, he immediately enveloped her figure, and a feeling of oppression hit her face.

Xue Mingyue retracted her hand without leaving a trace, took two steps back uncomfortably, then raised her eyes to look at him, and said softly: "Master Marquis, there are no rules, and there is no rule. It is not a trivial matter for my grandmother to be harmed. When it comes to my cousin, it’s better to check it out.”

Seeing that she was avoiding her, Xie Lang stiffened slightly.

Still a little too hasty, he pursed his thin, straight lips, nodded and said, "It's really time to check it out."

Seeing what he said, Bai Zhenzhen, who was still waiting for him to show favoritism, could not hold back his anger: "Cousin, how can you believe what I said! Who can guarantee that these things found are not deliberately framed? This is someone You want to frame me!”

This means she is fabricating evidence.

The corners of Xue Mingyue's lips curved slightly.

This statement offended many people. Among the people collecting evidence were not only people from the grandmother's courtyard, but also people from Housekeeper Zhang. Who did she want to frame her for?

Xie Lang glanced at Bai Zhenzhen coldly with his long and narrow eyes, and said with a decisive tone: "Then take the person to the execution hall and torture him severely. The truth will naturally become clear. I will see the result within a quarter of an hour."

The guard immediately handed over his hand: "Yes, Lord Marquis."

Where is the execution hall? If a grown man is dragged in, his skin will be stripped off!

Bai Zhenzhen was stunned, and suddenly a chill ran down his spine.

Although she really didn't come forward about this matter, her confidant Xia Mei was the one who facilitated it.

If this happens, Xue Mingyue will only lose the favor of Xie Lang and Princess Cen. But if it doesn't happen now, then she will have to decide whether to abandon Xia Mei!

... He actually activated the torture chamber. Xue Mingyue was stunned for a moment, his eyes flicking back and forth between the cousins ​​hesitantly. Knowing that it would implicate Bai Zhenzhen, he still did it, which meant that his grandmother's status in his heart It still needs to be higher.

From this point of view, perhaps it would be more appropriate to start with Princess Cen regarding the matter of peace and separation, Xue Mingyue thought thoughtfully.

Suddenly, Ju Wen bit the boy who was covering her mouth like crazy, broke away and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Master Marquis, I will explain everything!"

"I heard it from Xia Mei, who is next to Miss Cousin. She said that you will definitely not like Madam, who uses despicable means to get in. As long as she makes some mistakes, you will completely dislike Madam. She also said, Maybe one of us will be taken away from him, I did it because I was crazy."

Ju Wen's face turned pale. She never expected that the Marquis would send her to the execution hall.

In order to survive, I had to grit my teeth and say: "My cousin gave me the banknote, and it was my cousin's idea to sprinkle walnut powder. She also said that if something goes wrong, let me take the banknote and run away! Everything the slave said is true, please Lord Marquis, please go around this slave!"

She knocked her head too hard, and when she raised her head again, it was dripping with blood.

The people present were immediately startled, and they were all stunned. Xue Mingyue’s eyes were calm and unmoved, and she twitched the corner of her mouth sarcastically towards Bai Zhenzhen, and asked word by word: "Cousin, why don’t you explain the matter of the banknote?" ?”

Bai Zhenzhen gritted her teeth nervously and looked at Xie Lang with red eyes: "Cousin..."

In the past, her cousin would always indulge her and help her as long as she looked like this, and he would definitely help her this time.

Xie Lang lowered his eyes and glanced at her coldly, indifferently.

At this moment, a maidservant suddenly knelt down and said, "These are all my slaves' ideas and have nothing to do with my young lady!"

There was an unknown viciousness in her eyes, and she pointed at Xue Mingyue and cursed: "My slave Xia Mei, I just can't stand the way Madam acts so condescendingly in front of the young lady! It's clear that you and the young lady are childhood sweethearts, Lord Marquis. She It’s just a bitch who used despicable means to climb into the Marquis’ bed to become the madam! I just want to protest on behalf of the young lady!”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Xing was furious.

These words had long been circulated privately inside and outside the Hou Mansion, but no one had ever mentioned them publicly.

Xue Mingyue was used to hearing this kind of words for a long time, and said lightly: "It turns out that there was still a conspiracy to frame him."

Xie Lang's face suddenly turned cold.

The events of that day had already been found out, but he didn't know that such unpleasant rumors were still circulating in the Hou Mansion, which showed that he was not taken seriously.

There was a cold murderous intent in his eyes, and his cold eyes seemed to be looking at ants who didn't know whether to live or die: "Xia Mei and others deliberately framed the madam and harmed the old lady. The people involved were beaten with thirty military sticks with one stick, and then they were cut. Cut off his tongue, sell his hands, and sell them out of the house."

"Whoever pleads for them will be punished with the same crime!"

Xue Mingyue raised her eyes and looked at him in shock, and tightened her fingers on the small heater suddenly.

This is completely different from what I did in my previous life!

Bai Zhenzhen was immediately horrified and quickly begged: "Cousin, Xia Mei is the maid my father left for me during his lifetime..."

"She made my grandmother unconscious and almost had an accident. If my uncle had known about it, he would have done more decisively than me. If you insist on interceding for her, then I will have to think that you are secretly instigating this matter."

"I ask again, have you ever done this?" Xie Lang looked at her coldly.

"I……"

Bai Zhenzhen looked at him in panic, his eyes were red and pitiful.

Xie Lang sneered softly and nodded to the guards beside him. Xia Mei and others were immediately covered and tied up, and soon someone went down to prepare the torture instrument of the stick.

Thirty blows with batons would kill these two maids.

He died without signing a pledge to admit what he had done. Wouldn't this mean that he would die without any evidence?

This is clearly covering up the facts for others.

Xue Mingyue sneered in her heart, took two steps forward, knelt down and saluted: "Master Marquis, this is a matter of the inner house. Let me handle it."

After a pause, Xie Lang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he became silent after a moment.

"You are the mistress of the Hou Mansion, so of course it's up to you to handle the matter."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis. I will lock them up first. Tomorrow morning, I will send these evil servants who harmed my master's family to the Jingzhao Mansion. Whether they live or die or be exiled will be left to the government. If anyone in the mansion commits another crime again, he will be sent to Jingzhao Mansion." It should be sent to the official."

"It just serves as a warning to others, and also serves as a warning to the world so that this kind of thing doesn't happen again."

Even if these people are going to die, everyone must understand why they died.

Xue Mingyue's eyes were indifferent.
