There was actually a box of rocks inside!
He hurriedly asked others to smash open the other boxes and look at them one by one.
Hundreds of boxes! Except for a few empty boxes, most of them contained stones and sand, and some contained a pile of rags and cotton wool.
The empty boxes were all used by Zhang to show off, so the things were naturally taken away by Ning Yue. As for the rest, let's save it for everyone to see Zhang's disguise.
The general's face was almost distorted. After searching in the crowd for a long time, he finally found today's bride under the guidance of a soldier. He asked angrily: "What's going on?"
Ning Yue looked aggrieved: "The General's Mansion was visited by thieves a few days ago. My mother said that she would raise my dowry by selling pots and iron. I didn't expect that she would treat me so perfunctorily!"
As he said that, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped away the non-existent tears.
Ying's family members also saw it, and they were all stunned.
Is this all the bride’s dowry? ! Although the Ying family is in despair, it is too bullying to jump up and slap someone in the face like this!
There was no time to get angry.
A soldier in the inner courtyard ran to the general and reported: "General, the warehouses are all empty!"
"The backyard is also empty, not even a bed or bedding!"
"The kitchen is empty too!"
Ning Yue nodded with satisfaction, good job.
"What?!" The general was furious.
He specially paid for the job, thinking he could make some money, but he didn't expect that it was the Ying family. He was not sure what he wanted, fearing that it would be too light or too heavy.
I didn’t expect to find an empty shell!
Go back empty-handed like this, let alone talk about money and water. Ying Xianqing had whispered to him just now. If the superiors suspected that he had leaked the news, he was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around!
The imperial guards who were showing off their power just now also looked at each other in disbelief. This is really weird today.
How does it feel to suddenly discover that your home is completely bare in the clear day?
Ying's family members turned from angry to confused.
The general was so frightened that he turned pale and ran to see it. Then he hurried back and stood in front of Ying Xianqing. He smiled stiffly and said, "Mr. Ying, did the princess tell you about this?"
If Ying Xianqing had time to vacate the Hou Mansion, why didn't she escape? And not afraid of exile.
Is this... the princess is playing a new game with him?
A girl suddenly rushed towards Ying Xianqing from the crowd, crying and begging: "Second brother, go find the princess quickly and ask her to let us go! I don't want to be exiled, wuwuwu..."
Ying Xianqing shouted: "Lingzhu, what nonsense are you talking about!"
The girl was already crying until she had tears and runny nose. "Sizhu heard it all. The little eunuch said that the princess has told us. As long as you regret it before it's too late, go and beg the princess. Our family is not disrespectful. Please clear our innocence!"
After everyone in the Hou Mansion was surprised, they gathered around, as if they saw hope.
A girl who was about the same age as Lingzhu looked embarrassed. It was Sizhu.
Lingzhu is Ying Xianqing's biological sister, and Sizhu is the stepdaughter. She is obviously Lingzhu's older sister than Sizhu for a few months, but Lingzhu has a soft temper, and her stepmother is in charge of the family, so Lingzhu usually listens to Sizhu. There is a lot of bamboo.
Sizhu didn't want to stand out, so she coaxed Ying Lingzhu to find her brother. She even told Lingzhu not to tell her, but she still let it slip. What a fool.
Ying Sizhu glared at Ying Lingzhu angrily.
After hearing Ying Lingzhu's words, the general was overjoyed: He is so smart, and the princess is really not serious.
Ning Yue did not expect that the people in the teahouse that day were discussing that the difficult person the princess met was actually her husband-in-law.
"Brother, please go and beg the princess..." Ying Lingzhu stopped crying and looked at Ying Xianqing pitifully with a pair of tearful eyes.
Mrs. Hou Li stepped forward and raised her sleeves to wipe her tears: "Xianqing, the old lady is getting old and cannot withstand the torment on the road..."
Ying Xun also advised: "In that case, Xian Qing, go and beg the princess. With her coming forward, our Marquis Mansion will be safe."
Ying Xianqing raised her eyes and looked at her father with a cold expression.
Ying Lingzhu may not understand what it means to ask the princess, but his father understands it very well.
Ying Xianqing coughed uncontrollably again, until her face turned red and her eyes were filled with mist, as if she was about to cough her lungs out.
He looked around at the crowd, and finally set his sights on Founding Marquis, with a sarcastic smile on his lips: "Father, you are going to betray me again because of the trouble you caused?"
Ying Xun flicked his sleeves and said, "Everything you have eaten and worn since childhood was not paid for by the Hou Mansion. Since you have enjoyed the benefits of the Hou Mansion, do you want to watch the Hou Mansion fail?"
Ning Yue even laughed at this. She thought she was in a bad situation, but now it seems that Ying Xianqing is also in a bad situation.
The entire Hou family was pointing at Ying Xianqing, a sick man, who sold himself for glory.
At this time, Ying Xianqing had changed out of the inferior wedding clothes and put on the rough prison clothes, which actually made his delicate face stand out even more.
He smiled coldly and stared straight at his father. This smile actually put a hint of evil on the god-like face, exuding a deep chill.
Ying Xun couldn't resist, his eyes flickered.
The girl named Sizhu saw Ning Yue smiling, raised her finger and glared at her: "Why are you laughing? By the way, since the princess is interested in the second brother, how could she let us be exiled? It must be because the second brother is getting married, the princess Only the Lord punishes you! You are the sinner of our founding prince’s mansion!”
This shout instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Ying Lingzhu also sternly accused: "That's right, you are a pest! I don't want you to marry my brother!"
A little fat man jumped up and scolded: "Go back quickly, don't stay in our house."
As soon as she got married, she was said to be a sinner of the Hou family. She was given such a high hat for no reason. Ning Yue did not intend to be the one who took the blame.
She shook her head with a smile, walked over, lifted Ying Sizhu's finger up and pointed it at the sky: "If you want to blame, you might as well blame the emperor who gave me the marriage."
Only then did Ying Sizhu realize that he had spoken carelessly and said the wrong thing.
Ning Yue walked to Ying Xianqing, turned around and smiled at everyone, "Is there anything wrong with my laughter? You two noble princes don't blame the initiator. You don't think about how to save yourself. You just want to push an innocent relative into the fire pit. , in exchange for your good life to continue, how funny it is."
Everyone looked embarrassed.
Ying Sizhu rushed forward and was about to hit him, but was grabbed by the Marquis.
Now the Ying family is guilty, but Ning Yue is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, and she doesn't know whether she will be exiled with her, so it's better not to offend him first.
Ying Xianqing glanced at Ning Yue in surprise.
The person in front of him was wearing a prison uniform that was obviously too big, but he had a pink face and rosy cheeks. His big round eyes were moist, clear and flawless, and full of righteousness. At this moment, he was standing straight in front of him, speaking out for him. unfair.
He still remembered that when he was 12 years old, this girl, who was only 9 years old, dared to fight with the prime minister's granddaughter in front of his house because of him, causing him to be beaten by his father. He always thought that she was just one of the many brainless people. One of the sluts.
Unexpectedly, when she grew up, she had quite upright views.
She was as fierce as ever, and she dared to say such things that offended the whole family on the first day she married into her husband's family.
Ying Sizhu was still dissatisfied: "If you give me a chance to help the government, I won't hesitate."
Nanny Ying Xianqing stepped forward angrily: "At the beginning of the year, Doctor Feng's legitimate son fell in love with you and came to propose marriage. You thought he was ugly and refused to do so. He promised many benefits. Why didn't you get married at that time?"
Ying Sizhu's face turned red, her sister-in-law couldn't beat her, so the wet nurse could do it. He raised his hand to give her a slap: "It's your turn, old slave, to talk too much!"
Ying Xianqing grabbed her hand and said coldly: "Change your eldest lady's temper. Now she is not your servant."
Ying Sizhu only hated that she was so focused on rescuing her father that she approached her bride Ning Yue in an attempt to divert the conflict. In the end, not only was she ridiculed, but she was also contradicted by a despicable servant.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about his grievance and simply went into battle. He grabbed Ying Xianqing's hand and cried and begged: "Second brother, please go and beg the princess. I don't want to be exiled. I don't want to wear prison uniforms. Those clothes are ugly." Pricked again..."
