Chapter 272
Zhou shihui panicked and said, “No, I definitely did not give the tiger skin to miss fu!” She had clearly repeatedly warned that fu person not to tell outsiders about the tiger skin, but she did not expect that Fu person to actually show off the tiger skin in front of his relatives. Was she tired of living? Naturally, Miss Fu was not qualified to come to the palace banquet. The Minister of Justice received the order to send someone to the Fu residence to bring miss fu here. There was still a slight burn scar on Miss Fu’s face, but if one did not pay attention, they would not be able to see it. The minister of justice asked, “Miss Fu, didn’t you say that Princess Yuquan gave you a piece of Taibai Mountain’s Tiger Skin?” Miss Fu had never seen such a scene. She trembled and said, “Yes, Princess Yuquan did give me a piece of tiger skin. That piece of tiger skin is different from ordinary tiger skin. It is rarely seen in the world. Even the palace only has two pieces.” Zhou shihui said, “You wronged me. I’ve never given you a tiger skin!” Qiao Jinniang asked miss fu, “Then what about your tiger skin?” Miss Fu’s hands trembled as she said, “No, it’s gone. It was stolen.” Qiao Jinniang walked up to miss fu and said, “Since you’re my cousin, if you tell the truth, I can help you plead for mercy and let you off lightly. But if you refuse to tell the truth and want to be tortured, don’t blame me for not caring about my relatives!” Miss Fu was so scared that she couldn’t even speak properly. Zhou Shihui had never expected that Fu would be so timid. Qiao jinniang said, “Don’t rush, speak slowly.” Miss fu kowtowed and said, “Crown princess, Xie Xiangxiang poured the hot oil from the oil pot onto my face on Chinese Valentine’s Day. I didn’t even dare to leave the house for more than a month. “Xie Xiangxiang kept coming over to apologize, but I felt that her apology was insincere. I didn’t lack gold, silver, and jewelry. “It wasn’t until Princess Yuquan came to me and gave me a piece of bright tiger skin. She asked me to bring that piece of tiger skin to Xie Xiangxiang and told Xie Xiangxiang to wear the tiger skin and walk around the beast area. “I thought that nothing would happen in the Beast area. It was a good opportunity to scare Xie Xiangxiang and vent my anger. “But who knew that she would be shot to death by Princess Fu Lu!” Zhou Shihui stood up and said, “Clearly, you and Xie Xiangxiang have a grudge. Now, you’re saying that I ordered you to do so. Do you have any evidence?” Miss fu only said, “It was Princess Yuquan who ordered me to do so. We don’t even have such high-quality tiger skin in our house!” Qiao Jinniang said to Zhou shihui, “Tiger Skin from Mount Taibai is rare. We’ll know once we investigate.” Zhou shihui said loudly, “Perhaps the one surnamed Fu stole the tiger skin from our Zhou Family?” Qiao Jinniang glanced at Li Yun and said, “If miss fu really stole the tiger skin, how would she dare to show it off in front of her relatives?” Miss fu nodded repeatedly. “Princess Yuquan gave me the tiger skin. Even if I had twelve guts, I wouldn’t dare to steal from the Zhou residence!” Qian Yi gave a dao name. “Heavenly venerate immeasurable, Zhou Shihui, are you still obstinate?” Zhou Qing said in a shrill voice, “What right do you have to manage my daughter? What kind of father are you? If it weren’t for your son, he wouldn’t have committed the felony of murder!” Hearing that, Zhou Shihui said in extreme shock, “Mother, you were clearly the one who told me about this scheme and told me to contact miss fu. How can you push the crime of murder onto me now?” Zhou Qinghe glared angrily at Zhou Shihui. She was really too stupid! Zhou Shihui was, after all, Qian Yi’s daughter. With the bloodline of the Qian family, she would not be sentenced to death. Moreover, Qian Yi would not just watch his own daughter die. The mother and daughter could have escaped unscathed, but Zhou Shihui was actually so impatient! Zhou Shihui said hurriedly, “This matter was my mother’s scheme. That tiger skin was specially ordered by my mother to be found from the Zhou family’s storehouse in Chang ‘an. Originally, she bought a tiger skin in Luoyang. “However, the tiger skin was light in color. My mother was afraid that the tiger skin would be useless, so she ordered someone to bring the tiger skin from Mount Taibai from Chang ‘an! “Fu Lu was also lured over by my mother. Everything was my mother’s plan!” Zhou Qinghe stood up and gave Zhou Shihui a hard slap on the face. “Didn’t I do this for You? Xie Xiangxiang will take away your position as the princess. After she appeared, your position as the princess will not be justified.” Zhou Shihui covered her face in tears and said, “It was you who ruined everything for me!” The mother and daughter started to blame each other in public. Hearing that, the Hui Lindi frowned and said, “Men, take them to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and convict them after the mid-autumn Festival.”. Although the daughter of the Fu family was an accomplice, she did not intend to hurt anyone. It was understandable that her face was ruined, so she was punished to be Xie Xiangxiang’s filial son for three years. “As for Qin Xiangxiang, she was plotted against by someone and accidentally killed Xie Xiangxiang. Her original intention was to kill Tigers and beasts. She should be acquitted and be reinstated as a princess.” The people of Marquis an Yuan’s manor came out to express their gratitude. The scholars of Qing Ming Academy also openly apologized to Qiao Lui. They knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to punish Zhou Qing and the mother and daughter severely. Xie Yi knelt on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, in the end, it is also because I treated Zhou Qing and the mother and daughter badly back then. I am willing to take a heavy punishment on their behalf!” Hui Lindi said, “We will discuss their crimes tomorrow! At this mid-autumn Festival, there is no need for these two evil mother and daughter to affect the joy of enjoying the moon and reuniting.” All the officials agreed. Hui Lindi looked at the couple who were still kneeling on the ground and sighed heavily. Empress Zhou said to King Huai, “The two of you should also get up. In the future, you need to be careful with your words and actions. Don’t lose the face of the royal family.” “Yes, Mother.”King Huai stood up and swayed. With Zhou Qing and the mother and daughter’s crimes, the Zhou residence was truly crippled. What should he do in the future? The students of Qingming Academy that he had spent so much effort to rope in were also crippled! Hui Lindi looked at King Huai with disappointment in his eyes. Little Lu Xi handed a stack of fresh meat mooncakes to Hui Lindi and said, “These are the mooncakes uncle fennel made. They’re very delicious. give them to Grandpa. Grandpa, don’t be angry.” Hui Lindi hugged Little Lu Xi and said, “Xi’er is the most obedient.” The king of Huai looked at Lu Xi fawning over the Hui Lin Emperor from the bottom of his heart with disgust. When Lu Chen was young, he was just like Lu Xi, always fawning over his father. He had no respect for the father and son of the Tian family. After the mid-autumn Banquet, qian Yi went to Hanliang Palace to look for the Hui Lin Emperor and said, “Your Majesty, Zhou Shihui, Zhou Qing, and her mother and daughter are in possession of human lives. It is hard to absolve the blame for their deaths. However, on account of Zhou Shihui’s childhood hardships, I Beg Your Majesty to spare her life!” The Hui Lin Emperor said, “I heard that the servant girl beside the Crown Princess is also your daughter. You can only choose between sparing Zhou Shihui’s life and bestowing glutinous rice as the princess.” “There can only be one princess of the Wu King. If Zhou Shihui is the princess, it is not difficult to spare her life. However, if that is the case, glutinous rice can no longer have the title of nobility!” Qian Yi knelt on the ground and found it difficult to choose. Both of them were his daughters. One had been homeless since young, while the other had been a servant in a restaurant since young……
