Xia Zhihe naturally knew the consequences of poisoning the royal family, and he could basically guess what would happen to Xia Zhilu if she was found guilty.
Although he felt a little unbearable in his heart, he was quickly suppressed by Xia Zhihe, and there was a bit of fierceness in his eyes.
Lu'er, don't blame your father! If you want to blame it, blame it on your own inability! He couldn't even do the poisoning well, and he even got caught! Originally, you did this so that you could take the position of Princess An, but now you can only do it yourself!
Thinking like this, Xia Zhihe also complained about Li next to him. This woman was really useless!
He has a good family background, but he is of no use at all. He cannot even educate his two children well, his son is mediocre, and his daughter cannot even handle such a small thing!
The most important thing is to hold him back one by one!
The more Xia Zhihe thought about it, the less guilty and intolerable he felt in his heart. In the end, he even felt that Xia Zhilu should be the one to take the blame!
In fact, let alone Xia Zhihe, even Li and Xia Hongzhang agreed with Xia Zhihe's decision.
When they first heard Xia Zhihe say Xia Zhilu's name, Li and Xia Hongzhang were surprised, but after the surprise, they felt that this was the best way at the moment.
Xia Zhihe cannot fall. As the only pillar of the Xia family, if Xia Zhihe falls, the entire Xia family will be doomed!
But in this situation, someone has to take the blame. Naturally, Li and Xia Hongzhang are not willing to admit it themselves, so Xia Zhilu is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Li was already dissatisfied with Xia Zhilu because Xia Zhilu was completely out of her control.
Secondly, both Li and Xia Hongzhang believed that Xia Zhilu was now useless and would be sent to a nunnery after her birthday party, so what value could she have? It doesn’t bring them any benefit at all!
In this case, it would be better to do a little bit for the family in the end and help the Xia family get through today's difficulties, which would be somewhat useful.
What's more, Xia Zhilu was involved in the poisoning, so it was not an injustice.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Xia family made a unanimous decision. After Xia Zhihe finished speaking, no one in the Xia family spoke up to refute.
Xia Zhihe was determined to push Xia Zhilu out. This move really shocked many people, who all looked at Xia Zhihe with different expressions.
It seems that the Xia family really cannot marry!
Xia Zhihe was so cruel that he could even push his own daughter out to die! What's more, it's a daughter-in-law from another family? !
Moreover, Xia Zhihe could do this to the second daughter who had been raised by his side since she was a child, let alone the eldest daughter who was rejected at birth?
From this point of view, the poisoning and other scandalous things exposed by Princess An before are probably true...
No matter what others think, in the eyes of the emperor, as long as Xia Zhihe can figure out a way to solve today's incident, then he doesn't care who takes the blame in the end.
When Xia Zhihe introduced his legitimate second daughter, the emperor didn't care so much and immediately answered: "She is actually the Xia family's legitimate second daughter? Are you sure, Mr. Xia?"
Xia Zhihe understood what the emperor meant as soon as he heard it. As long as he could solve the problem, the emperor could help him hide!
He immediately said heartbrokenly: "If what the princess said is true, then I'm afraid it was really my second daughter who did it!"
"She has always been thinking about her eldest sister's position as Princess An, and she has been in love with Prince An for a long time. I know this, but I didn't expect that she could do such a thing! Even her sister-in-law would dare to persecution!"
Many people looked at Prince An and his wife with strange expressions. They did not expect that the second young lady of the Xia family did such a thing because she loved Prince An and was jealous of her eldest sister.
Just listen to Xia Zhihe continue to say: "According to what the princess said, it was Xia Zhilu who brought the cakes with the Juezi medicine to Prince An's Mansion, so Xia Zhilu should have done this!"
As he spoke, he added: "The servant who escaped before was also from Xia Zhilu's yard."
As for who this servant belongs to and who he takes orders from, I'm afraid only Xia Zhihe and others know it, so they can only tell for themselves.
Xia Luotong raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Zhihe. Unexpectedly, Xia Zhihe came to terms with the situation at the expense of a daughter.
Xia Zhilu was indeed one of the poisoners, but not all of them. In the entire Xia family, probably only Sun Jiaolan was not involved, and no one else was clean.
As for Xia Zhihe directly skipping the incident of drugging Xia Luotong at the Xia family banquet, Xia Luotong didn't care. She didn't get any evidence about that incident, so she could only let Xia Zhihe deny it. .
So what if we just let the Xia family dance around for a while longer? Xia Luotong did not intend to deal with the Xia family now. Now he is just collecting some interest. The real suffering of the Xia family has just begun...
Xia Luotong had a cool smile on her lips. She didn't care about the singing between the emperor and Xia Zhihe. She sat quietly as if watching a play, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
"Since the servant who bought the medicine belongs to her, and she also ordered someone to prepare the poisonous food and send it to the palace, then she must have given the poison!" The emperor decided directly.
He just followed Xia Zhihe back and forth and directly pinned the charge on Xia Zhilu. Then he stopped questioning Xia Luotong and directly decided the charge.
"Give the Xia family's second daughter a three-foot white silk ribbon!" The emperor wanted to kill Xia Zhilu, but according to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, such a punishment was not excessive.
The emperor made such a decision, and although everyone was a little bit sad, in the end, it was Xia Zhilu who was to blame. After all, she was so vicious that she would not even spare her eldest sister, and she still cared about her eldest sister's husband. It was really disgraceful.
What happened on the day of the Jie Feng Banquet was not a secret. With such a combination, no one suspected that Xia Zhilu could even do that kind of thing, so naturally it was possible for her to kill her eldest sister.
After the emperor's verdict, everyone in the Xia family suddenly looked sad. Mrs. Li even started sobbing on the spot, looking very sad.
But by this time, no one believed their tears anymore, nor did they believe how sad they would be.
It was the Xia family themselves who were blamed for Xia Zhilu's crime. Moreover, when Xia Zhihe exposed Xia Zhilu's name just now, the Xia family members were silent and no one stood up to speak for Xia Zhilu.
Now he is pretending to be sad again, who can believe it?
At least at this moment, few people in Ouchi believe it.
"Since the culprit has been punished, then this matter..."
