Chapter 222 Maybe I can become an Internet celebrity
Bai Wei raised her hands and bowed, saying righteously, "Of course I know, but how can we rule the world if one family is not in peace? This world is made up of thousands and thousands of families. Someone dares to confuse right and wrong in front of the current emperor. If we cannot make this matter clear in front of the envoys from Southern Xinjiang, how can we, Dong Qin, establish the prestige of a great power?"
After these words came out, Ouyang Ming really didn't know how to continue the conversation, but he just had countless complaints in his heart.
He has always thought that Bai Wei was very smart, so why would she care about this matter today?
"You said someone was confusing right and wrong. Are you talking about this little maid? If I deal with her, isn't that giving you justice? What else is there to be unclear about?"
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows.
Others might not know this, but Ouyang Ming knew the original owner's position in the Shangshu Mansion, and he also knew that the so-called oppression of concubines and abuse of slaves did not exist at all.
But he said that no matter what Tao'er's original intention was, it was equivalent to acknowledging in front of everyone that what she said was the truth. Now he said that punishing Tao'er was giving her justice, but in fact, his casual treatment of Tao'er at this moment was not only not giving her justice, but even made others think that he was protecting her and not continuing to investigate.
And saying this now is a disguised way of forcing her to compromise.
Xiao Ling spoke directly, "Your Majesty, my granddaughter has been living outside, while the second and third daughters of the Bai family have been living a life of luxury. After much difficulty, she was brought back to the Shangshu Mansion. It has only been a few months since she set out on the journey of defending her country. How could she oppress a concubine's daughter and abuse servants?"
To be honest, he cares about reputation.
So he didn't quite understand why Bai Wei had to fight for this matter, but since his granddaughter had fought for it, he had to help her win and not let her suffer this injustice.
Xiao Minglou also said, "Yes, I also heard that my silly cousin gave all the treasures bestowed by the emperor to the Shangshu Mansion, gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins, and she didn't enjoy them at all. Even the General's Mansion was originally used by Shangshu Bai, his shameful concubine and these two little bastards to live in it."
He was angry with Bai Wei for a long time because of this incident.
Ouyang Ming frowned slightly when he heard this.
Bai Lian's face turned pale because of this.
Ouyang Qi felt even more ashamed.
Because if Bai Lian was born to an illegitimate wife, or was a bastard, then what was the point of him marrying Bai Lian as his concubine?
Just as he was about to get angry, Xiao Mingcheng spoke up, saying righteously, "Minglou, you should be careful with your words in front of His Majesty. Don't say those vulgar words that will pollute His Majesty's ears."
Ouyang Qi felt better after hearing him say that, but unfortunately... Xiao Mingcheng added: "But brother also thinks you are right!"
Ouyang Ming also knew that it seemed that Xiao Ling was determined to seek justice for his granddaughter. He turned around and said to Tao'er in a stern voice: "Tell me, who taught you to say these words?"
He knew the answer without asking. It was not difficult to deal with her. The difficult part was that Bai Lian was pregnant with Qi'er's child. It was precisely because of this that he wanted to keep things quiet.
It’s a pity that there is no way now even if I want to.
Feng Lin raised his lips and smiled, his voice was charming and seductive: "The Emperor of East Qin likes to do unnecessary things. Naturally, she is a servant of someone, so that's who ordered her to do it. What's more, wasn't it because someone was feeling unwell that this imperial physician who couldn't even feel the pulse was invited in just now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood and looked at Bai Lian at the same time.
"Yes, if the concubine of Prince Qi had not said that General Bai had offended her, why would Prince Qi have called in the imperial physician?"
"General Xiao is right. Everyone knows that the second and third daughters of the Bai family used to wear gold and silver jewelry when they attended banquets. On the other hand, General Bai rarely appears, and when he does, he wears plain clothes. If you still say that General Bai treats them harshly, then what kind of life do I, the legitimate daughter, have?"
"Yes, I have also seen Miss Bai wearing a complete set of ruby head ornaments. I liked them very much and asked my mother about them. She said they were tributes. I guess they were the treasures given by the Emperor after General Bai returned victoriously. How could the eldest sister who bullied her younger sister be willing to give such precious things to her younger sister?"
"I said this concubine was very scheming. She actually came up with this method to frame General Bai."
"Oh, didn't you just say that General Bai was bullying others by taking advantage of his power?"
"I was also deceived by her pitiful appearance!"
"..."
Bai Lian didn't expect that everything would turn out like this, but she continued to defend herself: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't say those words. I didn't instigate Tao'er, and I didn't say that the eldest sister deliberately bullied me and the third sister. I just felt abdominal pain when the eldest sister walked by me, and shouted twice.
You are the ones who said all this just now, but now you are blaming me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the person who made the accusation fell silent.
why?
Because of guilty conscience.
Bai Lian never said these words directly. Instead, most of them followed the trend and criticized Bai Wei.
Bai Wei raised her eyebrows.
This is her cleverness. She indeed never said in front of others that she had ever hurt her. She just acquiesced to Tao'er's accusation against her and did not give a direct answer, thus cleverly directing the spearhead of public opinion onto her.
If she hadn't been reborn and traveled to the modern era, she might have become an internet celebrity.
Fortunately, her luck value was preserved, and she succeeded in deepening Ouyang Ming and Ouyang Qi's suspicion and dissatisfaction towards her.
At this moment, Ouyang Ming and Ouyang Qi looked at Bai Lian with unpleasant eyes.
Ouyang Ming said sternly, "Come here, take this maid away and punish her severely. Don't let her die unless she reveals the mastermind behind this!"
He hoped that she would speak, because if she spoke, he would have evidence to control Bai Lian, and he could deal with her at any time in the future.
But he didn't want her to speak here.
There are so many people here, and once the charges are proven, Bai Lian will definitely need to be dealt with. Otherwise, even if he can use the excuse that the child is innocent to avoid harming the child, the future of this unborn child will be narrow.
Bai Lian deserved to die, but one had to consider the unborn grandson or granddaughter of the emperor.
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came forward and wanted to take Tao'er away.
Feng Lin was obviously enjoying the fun and stood in front of her: "Why bother with all that? Why not leave it to me? I have plenty of ways to make her speak within a quarter of an hour!
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked different.
Many people have heard about the methods used by the Prince of Southern Xinjiang.
Beheading and quartering were child's play methods. He liked to bleed, skin people alive, carve and paint on prisoners, cut off pieces of flesh from people, throw them into a pot and cook them, and then force him or his close ones to eat them. Some people also said that he had a mysterious method that could cause people to suffer so much that they could neither live nor die!
Therefore, as soon as Feng Lin's words came out, the emotions of the onlookers were instantly aroused.
There is sympathy, pity, excitement, and even anticipation...
