The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 202: Approaching step by step

Chapter 202 is approaching step by step

As Mr. Liang said, he suddenly remembered something and asked Ximen Xiaoyue, "By the way, I said that part of the dowry that was sent in the past will be returned. Did you bring that part back?"

Ximen Xiaoyue might as well suddenly mention this issue and hesitate, "Isn't this all in the side room? It was burned."

Before the fire plan was carried out, she had ordered all the valuable dowry to be removed.

Liang stared at the hairpin on her head, "This hairpin is the dowry. It's a jewelry box that I put in the dowry. How can you still take it out and wear it when it's burned?"

Ximen Xiaoyue subconsciously reached out and touched the hairpin, her face was a little stiff, "This...is it? Is this right?"

"That's right, I made your dowry with my own hands. The head and face you are wearing today were all made by craftsmen I ordered to work overnight." Mrs. Liang stared at her and said.

Ximen Xiaoyue couldn't catch up for a while. I just said that it was burned. It's hard to say that I remembered it wrong and didn't burn it, right? If you admit that you didn't burn it, wouldn't you tell everyone that you have the intention of embezzlement?

Also, returning a dowry is a shameful thing in the first place. When she mentions it at this moment, it is really embarrassing. The elders here are all staring at each other.

"The dowry was originally placed in the side room. When the eldest miss and I go in to return the gift, the dowry should be put in all of it. After I take out part of it and return it, you can return the rest to the treasury, yes No? But when the fire started, the eldest miss and I didn't leave until the fire was over, and the entire side room was destroyed. How did these jewelry escape?" Liang's voice suddenly became sharp.

Ximen Xiaoyue was flustered, her tongue tied in a knot, hesitating and fumbling for a while, she had to admit, "I allocated a part of the dowry myself, the second aunt didn't know."

"When did you take out some of it? Why didn't I know? I was not by your side when you got married, except for salutes, and I have followed you since then." Liang shi asked.

"This, this..." Ximen Xiaoyue racked her brains, thinking about the moment when Liang was not with her.

"Lord Taibao!" Mrs Liang said sternly: "This matter is still strange, please be sure to find out, all the dowry I am sure will be in the side room after delivery, the jewelry box has a key, and the key is only I have, of course, the lock can be picked, but it's not strange to pick the lock on the wedding day and take some jewelry? If you don't take part of it or the whole jewelry box, why remove the jewelry box? Put it in the side room No one was watching, because she knew there was a fire, and if it came over, it would destroy the jewelry."

"Second Aunt, I really didn't want to set fire to you. Don't think about it. If you don't want to give me these jewelry, I'll just return them." Ximen Xiaoyue said pitifully.

The Taibao said to Mrs Liang displeasedly: "Okay, you are always persistent. It seems that if you don't ask questions today, you will not give up."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ximen Xiaoyue, "Tell me again what happened that day, the old man will do justice."

Ximen Xiaoyue was panicked and confused by the Liang family. Now that the Taibao asked her to talk about the incident that day, she had to work hard to gather her thoughts and say it from the beginning: "...I also don't like the unpleasant thing about serving tea. I didn't take it to heart, after returning to the new house, the second aunt asked me something when I was unhappy, I..." When she said this, she suddenly became a little puzzled and forgot what she said before.

After hesitating for a moment, Taibao reminded: "You said you complained to the second lady."

Ximen Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes, after I complained to the second aunt, the second aunt was going to teach Zi'an a lesson. I discouraged her, but it was ineffective after several attempts."

The Taibao added, "Well, after the Master Xiang came over, you told him that Master Xiang didn't take it seriously, thinking that the second lady would not do anything."

Ximen Xiaoyue nodded again and again, remembering what she said, "Yes, the prime minister said that today is the day of great joy, and the second aunt is a measured person and won't mess around, so it's a big mistake."

"Well, yes, this confession is correct. Later, the second lady went to the second lady of the prime minister's residence to help deal with the eldest lady of the Xia family, Xia Zian. Are you against it?" Taibao asked again.

Ximen Xiaoyue nodded subconsciously, "Yes, I am against it."

But, after speaking, she was startled again, did she say this before?

She looked at Prime Minister Xia begging for help. Prime Minister Xia's face was ugly, and he was as smart as him. He already knew that Taibao was talking to her step by step.

As long as she has a single error or omission, she can reveal a lot of errors and omissions.

Moreover, he believes that Taibao today is definitely not a passive interrogation. Taibao used to be a minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the minister of the Ministry of Punishment used to be his subordinate. Will you ask for help?

Sure enough, Taibao's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Ximen Xiaoyue coldly, "You said it twice before and after, and there were six times of doubts. Do you want me to tell you one by one?" /

Ximen Xiaoyue didn't expect Taibao's face to suddenly change, and she panicked, "What doubt? No, I'm telling the truth, maybe I forgot some details."

"First, you said that you were not dissatisfied with Xia Zian's scorn for you at first, but later said that you were a little unhappy. This will make you duplicitous, but you won't be held accountable."

"Second, you first said that you would go back and complain to the second lady, but then you said that the second lady didn't know where to know that Xia Zian disrespected you, and later, you said that you went back to complain, and the preface didn't fit. You don't even know what you made up, do you?"

"Third, when you were talking about the banquet, you knew how the various tableware and chopsticks were placed, and even how the guests were seated, and even the second lady was sitting in the upper left corner. Those present, you are in the new house, and after a fire, you were injured, and Xia Quan, who arranged all this, was burned to death in the side room. table man."

Ximen Xiaoyue hurriedly defended, "Yes, I am keeping people's attention, but isn't this normal? After all, Concubine Cui and the old lady are sitting there, and I always make sure that the guests have a good meal. "

"Well, then you admit that you have always ordered people to keep a close eye on the outside, don't you?" A cold light flashed in Tai Bao's eyes.

"Yes... yes." Ximen Xiaoyue had to admit this.

The Taibao said coldly: "Since you ordered people to look at this table, you must have noticed that when your second aunt and eldest young lady Xia Zian left, someone immediately took away their cups."

Ximen Xiaoyue is stunned, who knows?

"This, it's normal for people to take away the cup after they leave the table." Ximen Xiaoyue defended, with fine beads of sweat already on her forehead.

She quickly looked at the old lady. The old lady's face was silent, and the eyes were gray.

These two questions are clearly a trap. It's a shame that this Ximen Xiaoyue didn't know it, so she continued stupidly.

Cai Bao continued to ask: "Well, it's normal to take away the cup, but your people also saw that when your second aunt left, she already needed someone to help her, which means that she has already started to faint, right? ?"

Ximen Xiaoyue shook her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I don't know that."
