Qian Fulai went to the prince to intercede again, and the prince also said: "I have just spoken to Prince Nan privately, but he is an imperial envoy, and he is representing the emperor on this tour. I am also powerless. According to the national law, Huo The eldest lady was originally going to be punished with a hundred batons, but fortunately you were willing to pay, and now I said that I would only be punished with twenty batons. This is the best result."
Qian Fulai didn't listen. Anyway, King Nan didn't save any face for Huo. The eldest lady was so delicate and tender that after twenty rounds of beatings, she couldn't even stand up without losing her life.
"Master Wei, can you think of a solution?" Qian Fulai asked Huo Wei again.
Huo Weixi was also a little embarrassed: "Although I have been in Kyoto for a while, I have always heard that King Nan dotes on Princess Nan. Sister Wei admitted in public that she beat Princess Nan, and her mother made a big fuss in court. I am also worried now. Princess Nan is not Will let Sister Wei off easily, this must be beaten..." His voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough for Mrs. Huo to hear.
Mrs. Huo heard Huo Weixi and Qian Fulai whispering, and she only had one thought in her mind, "My daughter cannot be beaten."
Suddenly, she grabbed another daughter of the Huo family and was about to push her out: "Go and admit that you encouraged Wei'er to do all this and it has nothing to do with her. Go ahead and say that you are the mastermind."
"Mother..." Huo Sijing stared at Mrs. Huo in horror.
Huo Sijing originally thought of escaping, but King Nan only sentenced Huo Sijing to suffer the consequences. Unexpectedly, the eldest lady asked her to take the blame.
Mrs. Huo glared at Huo Sijing viciously and threatened: "If you don't go, who will? Among the daughters of the Huo family, you are the only one who will go horse racing with Wei'er today. Think carefully about whether you want to go..."
Huo Si Jing's heart was bleeding. They were also the daughters of the Huo family. Every time they got into trouble, they were the ones who took the blame for Huo Si Wei.
However, she had no choice but to accept her fate, even twenty boards would not kill anyone.
At this moment, just as Huo Siwei was being placed on the bench and the board was about to fall, a female voice sounded, "Stop."
Huo Sijing suddenly said loudly: "All this was done by the girl who instigated the eldest sister. If you want to hit the girl, you can beat the girl. It has nothing to do with the eldest sister."
Everyone looked at Huo Sijing, and everyone knew that all this was just Huo Sijing taking the blame for Huo Swei.
An Xiyue also looked at Huo Sijing. A little girl took the initiative to plead guilty. Mrs. Huo really did everything for her biological daughter.
"Little girl, you have to be responsible for what you say. You have to suffer for others. You are the one who has to suffer. Do you really want to suffer these 20 big blows for Huo Siwei?"
Mrs. Huo looked at An Xiyue coldly: "What do you mean, princess? Jing'er only took the initiative to plead guilty when her conscience was exposed."
Huo Sijing gritted her teeth. If she didn't obey, she would be sent out like the other Huo sisters. "This is indeed all my idea and has nothing to do with my eldest sister. I am willing to be punished."
An Xiyue was completely angry. Looking at the little girl in front of her, she was reminded of Huo Sisi and Huo Siqing.
She squeezed her fingers tightly, with deep anger rising in her eyes. Are they so willing to be the scapegoat?
If she hadn't known that Nangong Yuanyi wanted to provoke the gap between the Yuzhou aristocratic families and the Huo family by making this incident, otherwise these people should all be punished, and Mrs. Huo would not have let Mrs. Huo randomly introduce someone to plead guilty.
Nangong Yuanyi showed mercy to the businessmen, and it was obvious that these businessmen were grateful to him at this time.
An Xiyue tried hard to hold back the anger in her chest.
At this time, Nangong Yuanyi calmly shook his head at An Xiyue. If he was too strong, the next scene between them and the Huo family would not be able to continue.
They already have the key to open the Huo family.
An Xiyue also understands that finding someone to blame is also the most common method among wealthy families.
