Chapter 976

The reception hall was quiet, and the fifth prince could hear his heart beating.

He waited for Xia Xi to get angry, but the expected picture didn't happen.

Xia Xi just chuckled, tone as usual, "qian'er is really at the age of discussing relatives."

Is that agreed?

The fifth prince took a slow beat and reacted. He was overjoyed. "Thank you, sister-in-law Wang, thank you for fighting..."

Xia Xi interrupts him, "I just said that qian'er is old enough to discuss marriage, but I didn't say that you can marry her."

The fifth Prince's smile froze on his face and stammered, "what do you mean by Wang and Wang's sister-in-law?"

"Literally."

"I, I don't understand."

"The fifth Prince has a noble status. The one who can marry you must be a noble girl from a high family. Qian'er was born in the countryside. She has been spoiled by my parents since she was a child. She doesn't know etiquette, doesn't obey rules, and can't stand the shackles. She's not suitable for a high family like you."

"You can learn all the rules and etiquette." The fifth prince said eagerly, "I, I really like her. Since I met her last year, I've been thinking about it all the time. I've long wanted to come and propose to you. I..."

"I know that the fifth Prince really likes qian'er, and I'm glad that qian'er is in your eyes. But I'm sorry, qian'er is the lifeblood of my parents. They won't be willing to let her go to Beijing, and they won't be willing not to see her for a year and a half. "

"I, I, I..."

When the fifth prince came, he thought about many scenes. He was chased and beaten by Xia Xi, and was driven out of the palace. No matter which one, he was completely prepared, but he didn't think of this one. He didn't know how to deal with it.

Wind Che is more direct, get up to see off a guest directly, "my daughter-in-law accompanied the princess for several hours, tired, need to rest, five princesses please go back."

So the fifth prince was expelled from the palace.

When he got into the carriage, he was still confused until he went back to the fifth Prince's house. The fifth Prince's concubine met him and asked him, "what's the matter?"

He just regained his mind and shook his head with an ugly look.

The fifth Prince's concubine was quietly relieved. Xia Xi's sister how, she does not know, she also does not know the fifth prince to that qian'er is really affectionate or for the needs of the throne, she only knows, if really let that qian'er into the house, her position in the house will be threatened.

"My husband, don't lose heart. I'll go to zhanwangfu in two days and ask for your marriage in person."

The fifth Prince shook his head and said wearily, "I'm tired. I want to have a rest. Don't disturb me if I have nothing to do."

Looking at his far back, the five princesses and concubines hold the handkerchief tightly.

……

Three days later, marquis Jing went to Pingyang County and went directly to the Yamen. He showed his identity and was scared. The county magistrate knelt down and kowtowed, "I've seen Marquis Jing."

Marquis Jing asked him to get up and go straight to the main topic, "let me make a long story short. Is there a woman who has no crime in the prison of Pingyang County?"

The first reaction of the county magistrate was to deny it. There is no crime, put people in prison, this is his dereliction of duty, will be impeached by other colleagues.

"Don't be afraid. It's not your responsibility. It's your last one." Marquis Jing comforted him.

County Master relieved, "I really don't know, but you can call the prison head to ask."

"Go

The county magistrate sent a yamen servant to the prison, and soon called the prison head.

The jailer kowtowed to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate looked at him, "I ask you, is there a woman who is not guilty in prison?"

Xiao you was entrusted to him by Mr. Zhang, and he has been given money back every month so far. A cold sweat broke out on his head. I don't know how the county magistrate knew it. He shook his voice and said, "yes, there is one."

The county magistrate looked at Marquis Jing, who ordered, "go and bring people here quickly!"

The prison head heard that he was pardoned. He got up and ran out quickly. But after a while, he brought the man over.

In prison, although young you is a cell of his own, he has the same food and treatment as other people in the prison. Today, she has dirty hair, ragged clothes and stinks.

As soon as the prison head carried her in, marquis Jing was fumigated to cover his mouth and nose and waved, "get down and wash her first."

The county master called the servant girl to come over, got you down, helped her take a bath, and found her a mother's clothes to change, then helped her back again.

In those years, little you was used to treating herself with dignity. When she was just in prison, she made a lot of noise every day, and no one paid any attention to her.

Gradually she knew that her life is really not out. She hated and hated her sister. In her life, her sister had all the benefits, but she let herself bear the consequences that she should not bear; Hate Xia Xi, is she killed his son, let oneself old have no country; He hated Eugene, who was clearly his own son, but recognized the thief as his mother; Hate all the people, if it wasn't for them, she wouldn't have come to this step.

She was supported by her hatred. She hated him day after day, and she didn't let him stop. She often gave him something to eat. The prison leader was benefited by Lord Zhang, and naturally he would give him whatever he asked. What's more, Lord Zhang would repay him. As long as she didn't make trouble, she wouldn't make trouble for her.

Therefore, little you did not change much. He was not as skinny as other prisoners.

He was brought back and knelt down in the lobby. Little you shivered.

"You are you?"

Asked Marquis Jing.

Little you kowtowed, "yes."

"You are unjust. I can make the decision for you."

Marquis? Who is in charge?

These words hit the ear, the small you's muddy eyes suddenly lit up, regardless of kneeling forward a few steps, Dong Dong Dong kowtow, "people's women have grievances, people's women want to vindicate!"

Marquis Jing asked the Yamen and the prison leader to retreat, leaving only the people he brought with him and the county magistrate.

After entering the teahouse, he anxiously said to the shopkeeper, "I'm looking for Mr. Zhang."

"Our second uncle is not here, are you?"

Not even here.

His forehead was sweating. "Do you know when he'll be back?"

"I don't know. If you have anything to do, you can tell our wife. She is in the backyard."

The prison leader hesitated for a moment and waved his hand, "well, I'd better wait for Mr. Zhang to come back. I'm the prison leader in prison. When Mr. Zhang comes back, you can tell him to come to me."

The shopkeeper's response.

The head of the prison went back to the prison anxiously.

In the county yamen, marquis Jing finished listening to you's words and asked, "is everything you said true?"

"Folk women dare not lie."

"Prepare a carriage and let her follow me to Beijing."

Two quarters of an hour later, the two carriages left Pingyang County and went all the way to the capital.

Xia Xi and Feng Che know nothing about what happened in Pingyang County, but they realize that the eldest prince hasn't come out to be a demon these days, and they feel very abnormal.
