Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

"You don't have to put all these accusations on me. I may not have a job, but at least I haven't done anything shameful, right? But I heard recently that the ninth daughter of your Xu Guogong Mansion eloped with someone. I didn't expect that the Xu family has always been upright, but in this generation, there are so many shameful things. Your sister has no shame, do you think you are a good person?"

If they still had some reservations before, Prince Zhi had now completely broken off relations with them and only used the most unpleasant words to say to them.

The people who were watching the fun formed a small circle around, and when they heard that the daughter of the Duke's Mansion had eloped with someone, they all became interested and talked about it in twos and threes in low voices.

Xu Wanzhi never thought that things would turn out like this. After listening to those unbearable words, her eyes went dark and she passed out.

At this time, Dan Feng, who was sent by Xu Xingyin to get reinforcements, also hurried over with people from Shuntian Prefecture.

Since Xu Wanru fainted, Magistrate Song had no choice but to have her sent back home, and then he invited Prince Zhi and Xu Xingyin to go back to the yamen together.

One of these two men was from the royal family, and the other from the Duke's Mansion. If it were an ordinary official, he would definitely not want to offend either side, so he just picked out some conciliatory words and persuaded the two men earnestly to make a big deal out of a small matter.

But Song Tuiguan was a man of integrity, and he was also good friends with Xu Xingyin, so he was wholeheartedly planning for her. He actually arrested the Prince of Zhi, and Xu Xingyin let him go back home after taking his statement.

After much deliberation, Xu Xingyin brought a letter to Jing Zhichen before returning home.

Now thinking back on what Xu Wanzhi had accidentally heard from the thieves before, she felt something was very wrong.

It is said that at that time one of the thieves maliciously praised one of the girls for her beauty, while the other thief told him viciously not to target her, as these girls might become people of great fortune in the future.

What great fortune can a girl who sells smiles have?

It goes against common sense!

She couldn't figure this out for the time being, so she simply asked someone smart to help her figure it out, and she returned to the Duke's Mansion leisurely.

What Xu Xingyin never expected was that what greeted her was not praise and comfort, but a loud slap in the face.

Chen rushed out from the front of the house and stood in front of Xu Xingyin, pushing Xu Xiuzhu with her neck stiffened.

Shi from the fourth room collapsed on the ground and cried, saying that it was Xu Xingyin who ruined her son's reputation.

Old Madam Xu sat at the head of the table, twisting her Buddhist beads and whispering, "What a misfortune for our family."

Coming back to his senses from his daze, Xu Xingyin finally understood where his crime came from amid the noise.

It turned out that what happened on the street today spread quickly.

Apart from the prince of Zhiwang Mansion clamoring to marry the daughter of Duke Xu, the most talked-about incident was the elopement of the young daughter of Duke Xu.

According to them, it was because she showed up in public that the prince of Zhiwang Mansion took a fancy to her, which led to a series of events afterwards.

First, the prince of Zhiwang Mansion coveted Xu Xingyin's beauty because she was not faithful to her husband.

Secondly, if she had not had an argument with the Prince of Zhiwang Mansion, he would not have revealed the fact that Xu Wanrui had eloped. After the news spread, it brought shame to the family, and it was also her fault for being so arrogant.

Since childhood, Xu Xingyin had never suffered such injustice. He immediately sneered and looked at everyone, retorting.

"Do you really think that what you said is justified? Even though the Duke is a man, my grandmother and fourth aunt are also women. Do you think it's my fault that the prince of Zhi Palace spoke frivolously?

Don't tell me about the bullshit theory of "flies don't bite seamless eggs". Since when did the victim become the object of people's blame? Don't you know that the person who made the mistake is the prince of Zhiwangfu?

No, you know it very well in your hearts. It's just because you can't do anything to him that you point the finger at me who seems to be in a weak position!

As for showing my face, that is nonsense. Not to mention that there is nothing wrong with me dressing properly, even if I show my arms and legs, he has no right to offend me in the slightest.

The world has always been unfair. Women have been required to be gentle, virtuous and abide by the virtues of women since childhood. The world has given them countless rules and regulations just to make them live as accessories forever.

They require women to regard their husbands as their God, but men cannot even show the most basic respect to their wives and daughters. They regard their wives as their housekeepers and accessories, and their daughters as their commodities for trading. Why?

Putting these aside, do you remember that it was the Duke who agreed to let me go to Shuntian Prefecture to assist in the investigation? It was not my order for Ninth Sister to leave the mansion, so why are you blaming me for this mess? "

The resounding rebuttal mixed with Shi's constant crying made Xu Xiuzhu's anger finally reach its peak.

After shouting "rebellious girl", she pulled the white silk and tried to wrap it around Xu Xingyin's neck, intending to strangle her to death on the spot!

Everyone in the room was terrified. Old Madam Xu screamed and called out Xu Xiuzhu, but she saw that he didn't stop at all.

Xu Xiuzhu was furious, but no one dared to step forward to stop him. Only Chen pushed away the old woman who was trying to stop her, rushed over and grabbed Xu Xiuzhu's arm tightly. Xu Chaoge, who had just received the news and entered the room, also rushed over and stood in front of Xu Xingyin.

As if the situation was not chaotic enough, Shi shouted loudly, "Disaster star and gate of misfortune."

The fourth master standing by was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and reached out to cover Shi's mouth.

"Old lady!"

It was a farce that ended with Madam Xu fainting. When Xu Xiuzhu carried Madam Xu to find a doctor, the main hall was already in a mess.

There was a shallow mark on Xu Xingyin's neck from the white silk, and Xu Chaoge's moon-white brocade robe was covered with footprints. Chen hugged her children and cried in pain.

Shi was dragged away by the fourth master while cursing "injustice"...

Old Madam Xu saved Xu Xingyin's life by "fainting", but she couldn't say more about what happened afterwards.

This world is indeed more demanding of women, and it is precisely because of this that Xu Xingyin, who would rather break than bend, has to suffer more.

After all, no one can change the way the world is, not even Madam Xu.

Even so, after waking up, Old Madam Xu still talked to Xu Xiuzhu about some principles.

For the sake of her family's reputation, Xu Xingyin had to punish the girl, otherwise if all the girls in the family followed her example, the Xu family's reputation would be completely lost.

But they can't impose a heavy fine, otherwise it would seem that all the responsibility falls on the Xu family, which would not sound good if it got out.

Besides, the most important thing for them right now is how to stop the rumors outside, rather than fighting among themselves and killing their own girl.

Xu Xiuzhu is a little confused, but fortunately he still values ​​filial piety.

After all, he still listened to a few words of Madam Xu's words, but that didn't mean Xu Xiuzhu wouldn't use it to take revenge on her personally.
