Chapter 219 Tit-for-tat
"Okay, let's end this matter. Zhou Xinran, take your slaves away from the palace quickly!"
"Wait a minute!"
"Oh? Du Xueer, don't you think I didn't kill you?
"Your Majesty, Cher has only one head, how can she not cherish it? It's just that Qin Manxiu should not be taken away by Zhou Xinran.
"Oh? Didn't I say that if he has evidence, he will turn over the case for his father. Will I give him an explanation then?
"Your Majesty, that's not what Cher said. That is to say, Qin Manxiu is not the son of Qin Wei at all, so this slave should not belong to him.
"Oh?" This is obviously beyond the emperor's expectation. Qin Manxiu is not Qin Wei's son? How can it be? Just now, Qin Manxiu personally admitted that his father was Qin Wei and asked himself to re-decipline the murder of his father.
"Yes. The emperor did not know that Manxiu's surname is Su, and he is the only son of Su Qi, the former richest man in Chisong Township, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province. Qin Wei just took him in on the way to escape. At most, he can only be regarded as an adopted son. Therefore, Man Xiu should not be bound by this slave.
"Can there be evidence?"
"It's a coincidence that Xue'er's brother-in-law, Lin Yuqing, is Man Xiu's cousin, and Lin's wife is also Man Xiu's aunt. Man Xiu lived in the Lin family for a period of time, and the Lin family can prove it.
"Why does the son of the Su family call Qin Wei his father everywhere? What about Su Qi? Where is it now?
"Halle back, Suqi was convicted of murder and had already been beheaded to the public, and his wife also died in a pillar. Just before the palace banquet began, the minister was summoned to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager instructed the minister to re-examination the case. Lord Bao answered the question of Long Live.
"Oh? Su Qi killed and was beheaded to the public, and he was also wronged! Du Xueer, if I guess correctly, it's you who encouraged the Empress Dowager to re-crigate the case, right?
"When returning to the emperor, Cher did talk about this to the empress dowager, but it was not encouraged. It was also the Empress Dowager who ordered to re-Investigate the case.
"What a Du Xueer, if I don't kill you, do you dare to be so lawless? Qin Wei, who betrayed the country, is not enough, and now there is another murderer Su Qi. Moreover, you have to tell me that these two people are wronged. Are my court officials so incompetent? Obviously, the emperor was angry again. And will Du Xueer be all right this time?
"The emperor is angry. Cher didn't mean to anger the emperor, nor did she say that the court officials were incompetent. However, coincidentally, please ask the emperor to observe it clearly."
"Enough! I want to ask further, will there be another wronged father? Qin Manxiu, this is your business. I ask you, is Qin Wei your father? Or is Su Qi your father? You can think about it before you answer me. If it's Qin Wei's words, I allow you to collect evidence to reverse the case, but you must be the slave of the Zhou family before the case is reversed. If it's Su Qi, you can be exempted from slavery, but if you bully the king, the Lin family and the Du family will bear it with you!"
The words are very clear, and Man Xiu smiled miserably. Neither of them is the choice he wants, but at present, it seems that the former is more attractive. At least, he still has a chance to reverse the case. The latter is to ask him to implict the two families who are really good to him for no reason. Even if he dies, it is impossible for him to do so.
"When returning to the emperor, Qin Manxiu is of course the son of Qin Wei. Man Xiu wishes to be a slave in the Zhou family." Manxiu kowtowed on the ground obediently, but Xue'er's heart seemed to be broken. Did she push Man Xiu to a dead end with her own hands? Man Xiu could have chosen another way. Let her fight, but Man Xiu had to accept the fate of slavery in the Zhou family with a smile. Because from the time she heard the two choices given by the emperor to Man Xiu, she knew that Man Xiu would definitely make such a choice, even if he was not the real son of Qin Wei.
"Man Xiu only asks the emperor not to go back on his word. In case Man Xiu comes up with evidence of his father's innocence, he also asks the emperor to be fair and return his father's innocence."
"This is natural."
"In addition, although Man Xiu knew that people spoke lightly, he still asked the emperor to extinguish his anger and forgive Miss Du."
At this time, do you still remember to plead for Du Xueer? The emperor couldn't help but feel happy, but on the surface, he was still slightly angry.
"Reason? Give me a reason to forgive her again."
"Miss Du is affectionate and righteous, pure-minded and kind-hearted. She is really a rare good girl. She lost her mother when she was a child, and the Du family was close to the Lin family. I'm afraid that Miss Du would have treated Mrs. Lin as her mother. Manxiu was lucky enough to be mistaken for her aunt's nephew. Miss Du saw that Man Xiu was trapped in slavery. She was afraid that Mrs. Lin would know that she was distressed and couldn't bear to tell her. Although her words were more straightforward, she was out of filial piety and had no intention of bullying the king. However, after all, Miss Du is an outsider, and it is inevitable that she does not know the truth. Please read her kindness and filial piety and don't pursue her again.
Even the emperor had to appreciate Man Xiu's ability to grasp the foundation of governing the world with benevolence and filial piety, and began to pleading for Du Xueer from here.
"What if I insist on killing her?"
"Your Majesty won't. The emperor is benevolent and filial, and the whole world takes the emperor as an example. How can the emperor lose the hearts of the people of the world because of Du Xueer's words?
"Hahahaha! OK! Well said! If your father hadn't committed a felony and you were a slave of the Zhou family, I would really be reluctant to send you to the Zhou family! Well, Xue'er was also unintentional, but after all, she contradicted me, and I punished her for a year at home and repented.
Cher doesn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Your Majesty, the world is full of emperors. If the emperor wants this slave, he is willing to offer it." Zhou Xinran was very aware of current affairs. Seeing that the emperor praised Man Xiu and wanted to keep him, he could not miss this opportunity. Although she sincerely hopes that the emperor will refuse, because what Man Xiu owes to her has not been returned.
"That's it, since I'm from your Zhou family, how can I force you to stay? When General Zhou returns triumphantly, I intend to go to your house in person, but I don't know if I can hear a better song than this slave at that time.
"If the emperor can come, he will definitely be brilliant. At that time, he will definitely arrange the best musician to play the piano for the emperor, and he will never disappoint the emperor."
The emperor smiled. This week's daughter is really not an ordinary role. Although her mother Hu was also present, Hu did not dare to talk too much in this big scene, but this week was happy to be different. She dared to say and do it. She will definitely win what she wants to fight for, and even solve the emperor's love in a few words. The attachment of practicing piano art also saved the royal face with the words of the best musician and established her status as the Zhou family. This Qin Manxiu is also an opponent.
"How much is it for me to buy him?" Just as Zhou Xinran prepared to leave with Manxiu, what everyone thought had ended like this, but Du Xueer's sudden sentence caused another disturbance. Only this desperate lady dared to contradict the holy will and buy Qin Manxiu at this time.
The emperor was happy. Unexpectedly, the accident brought to him by Qin Manxiu was not limited to his own skills and intelligence. Du Xueer, who could give other princes face in front of everyone, could stand up and speak for him again and again. It seemed that it was not as simple as worrying about Mrs. Lin. Ha ha, things are getting more and more interesting.
"Your Majesty, since he is a slave, he can buy and sell, right? Cher wants to buy him now, please complete it.
"Oh? Don't ask me about such a small matter. I'm not his direct owner." The implication is to let Du Xueer deal directly with Zhou Xinran. Watching them act should be much more interesting than their own intervention.
"Miss Zhou, I want to buy him. How much is it?" Xue'er looked at the manshu around Zhou Xinran and directly put forward her own requirements for Zhou Xinran.
"No sale." Zhou Xinran was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his slow words almost blew up Xueer's lungs.
"Isn't slaves bought and sold?"
Yes, but it also depends on the owner's mood. Of course, in addition to this, it also depends on who the buyer is.
"Miss Zhou's intention is to look down on me as a buyer?"
"I dare not. Miss Du is a dragon and phoenix. She has just seen her many times at the palace banquet. How can she look down on her?
"Then I bought him, why did you refuse?"
"There is no reason, but I don't want to sell it. Miss Du, whether I'm stingy or whatever. In a word, I can give as much as you want for other slaves, and you can even not take a half of the money. Only he can do anything.
"So, what about you?"
As soon as this word came out, everyone was in an uproar. No one would have expected that the dignified Miss Du would beg others for a slave, and even Zhou Xinran was stunned.
"Miss Du, I have received your kindness. There is no need to ask her." Manxiu felt very uncomfortable. Du Xueer, whom he had met, had always been high. Now for him, he whispered to ask for help, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Presumptuous!' Does the word 'I' also deserve to be used by you bitch? Miss Du, please don't blame me. I, a slave, owe ** very much. Don't worry, I will teach this slave a good lesson for you later, give you a breath, and let him have a long memory!"
"Miss Zhou is so majestic. Have you forgotten that this is the emperor's biggest?
"How dare you forget, but as the master of the slave, what you should say is still what you have to say."
"Brother Qin is not your slave, he is just himself." Mu Lanzhi also interrupted. In protecting Qin Manxiu, Mu Lanzhi and Du Xueer are absolutely on the united front.
Zhou Xinran directly ignored Mu Lanzhi and opposed Qin Man's cultivation beside him, "Bitch slave, why don't you compensate Miss Du? Do I have to teach you a lesson to have a long memory?
Xue'er was anxious and didn't expect her impulse to bring such a great embarrassment to Man Xiu. No need."
"Oh, how can this work? Can Miss Du tolerate this turbid thing to be blasphemous? What are you still doing? Don't you listen to your master now?"
Man Xiu had no choice but to apologize to Cher. However, before he could do anything, he heard Zhou Xinran scold, "Kneel down and climb over!" At this time, Man Xiu stood opposite Xueer, which can be said to be close at hand. It was meaningless for him to kneel down and climb forward.
"Zhou Xinran, don't go too far!" Du Xueer finally couldn't help but challenge Zhou Xinran again.
"Oh? Didn't I ask the slave to compensate Miss Du? What's wrong? The two were tit-for-tat, and the momentum made others sweat coldly.
"Miss Zhou, please forgive me. My sister has never spoken too well. Please forgive me if she offended Miss Zhou. General Zhou and my father are officials in the court. Although General Zhou is far away from the border of Liaoning and can't come to the banquet, anyway, they all work for the court and break their face, and no one is good-looking. What's more, there is still the emperor and the adults present. There is no need to be so shocked about our affairs, right? Now the two of us only ask Miss Zhou to raise her hand and transfer this person to our Du family for the price. My Du family will definitely remember Miss Zhou's favor.
Du Yunxuan also came forward to mediate, and the purpose was also for Qin Manxiu.
