Chapter 256 Disappointed Aijia

Xia Wan'er, the second lady of Xiangfu's family, sued Dingfeng for the case of Hu Huanxi, the eldest daughter of the Hu family, for hurting someone, which caused an uproar in Beijing.

Hu Huanxi denied the charge, and said that after Xia Wan'er beat her that day, he had never seen her.

She submitted evidence of her alibi, and there were corroborating evidence. After Xia Wan'er left with her own eyes, many people saw her enter the Charity House, and did not come out until more than an hour later.

And the people in the Charity House also said that Hu Huanxi had been in the Charity House during this time and had never been out.

In this way, it does not coincide with the time period submitted by Xia Wan'er.

Xia Wan'er almost spit out a mouthful of blood when she heard what the Ministry of Justice said. That woman is so brazen, how dare she ask the people to testify for her? It was she who deceived the people.

"By the way," Xia Wan'er suddenly remembered that she entered the residence after beating someone, "Go and check the residence. She ran away from the residence after beating me. There were people in the residence at that time, and there were all residences nearby. , She hit me so loudly, everyone nearby must know about it."

The Ministry of Punishment had no choice but to continue to send people to investigate, but they asked the people in the nearby houses, and they all said in unison that there was indeed a lot of excitement that day, but the excitement was due to tung oil dealers quarreling and fighting, not Miss Hu's family. Second Miss.

As for Hu Huanxi leaving a residential house, the officials also went to ask, but the family said that they had never seen anyone come in, and they did not know Hu Huanxi.

Xia Wan'er knew that Hu Huanxi must have bribed those people. She was rich and powerful, and those common people were blinded by money. It was the easiest thing to tell those people to shut up.

She lost her temper in the Ministry of Punishment and asked the officials to investigate. This incident even alarmed the prime minister. When the prime minister rushed over, the matter was out of control.

What can't be done is that the Hu family went to the Yamen to sue the officials, saying that Xia Wan'er beat people in the street.

The yamen had no choice but to investigate. The investigation revealed that Xia Wan'er's beating was true, and many people witnessed it with their own eyes. Now, Xia Wan'er had to be arrested.

However, the Yamen is also very difficult, because Xia Wan'er is the daughter of the prime minister's mansion and the future princess, if she is arrested, will the queen be furious?

Mr. Liang of Jing Zhaoyin didn't know how to deal with it anymore, so he had to ask Mr. Liang for instructions.

Mrs. Liang couldn't help being furious when he heard that it was another dirty matter from the Prime Minister's Mansion, "What are you asking this old man for? Go find your boss, let the Ministry of Punishment decide to handle this matter."

"However, if the Ministry of Punishment deals with it, I'm afraid it will be done in a businesslike manner."

Mrs. Liang is one head and two elders, at this juncture he can't offend the Hu family, but once Xia Wan'er is convicted of beating someone in the street, how can the guilty person become the princess?

Once this marriage is ruined, Xia Huaijun is afraid that he will turn against him, and now everyone has heard that he has a close relationship with the noble concubine.

But if he came forward to help Xia Wan'er, how would Hu Huanxi explain? It was rare for her to invite the prince out, and this time she established a positive image for the prince. If the handling is not good, the Hu family will retreat, and their loss will be great.

"This Xia Wan'er, why are there so many things? Is she a pig's brain? Now that the prince doesn't want to see her, she still causes trouble?" Taifu Liang was helpless, and could only complain angrily.

Mr. Liang said: "Indeed, no one's daughter is as twisted as Xia Wan'er. I really don't know why, but His Highness the Crown Prince fell in love with her at the beginning? Now it seems that Xia Zi'an, the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion, is better than her." hundred times."

Taifu Liang was also angry, didn't he think Xia Zian was not favored at the beginning? That's why the prince got close to Xia Wan'er, and at the beginning, Xia Wan'er was not like this, she got along very happily with the prince, and the prince liked her too, unexpectedly, she became more and more out of shape later on.

"How about this, you try your best to find a middleman to deal with, and let the Criminal Department handle it at its discretion, and you must not stick to the conviction. It is not easy for the old man to intervene in this matter."

After a pause, Liang Taifu suddenly said: "You go and tell Prime Minister Xia to go to Jin Guogong and ask Jin Guogong to go to the Ministry of Punishment to say a few words. It is best for Xia Wan'er to apologize to Hu Huanxi and settle the matter."

After Mr. Liang got the order, he first went to find Prime Minister Xia. Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Prime Minister Xia followed Ximen Xiaoyue and asked Ximen Xiaoyue to ask Duke Jin to speak on his behalf.

Seeing that Prime Minister Xia had divorced Ximen Xiaoyue, he still continued to communicate with him. He hoped that he could marry the Prime Minister's mansion in the future, so he went to the Ministry of Punishment to deal with this matter.

The Ministry of Punishment just didn't want to pay attention to the fight between the two women, so it followed Jin Guogong's words and told Xia Wan'er to apologize to Hu Huanxi.

Xia Wan'er had been waiting for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to arrest her, but she never thought that the Ministry of Criminal Justice would ask her to apologize. How could she swallow this tone?

She didn't apologize, and asked the Ministry of Justice to continue to investigate the matter of her being beaten. The Ministry of Justice understood why, but instead she made a big fuss and smashed many things in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Punishment had no choice but to order her to be imprisoned first.

This matter must be spread to the ears of the Empress Dowager.

After the empress dowager listened to it, she didn't make a sound, but asked Eunuch Sun to pass on the empress.

The queen also just found out about this matter, and before she had time to deal with it, she heard the news from Eunuch Sun. She sighed softly, and told the maids beside her, "Go and tell Lord Tai Tu, and say that this marriage may be a mess. Let him think of another way to keep Prime Minister Xia, if he can't keep it, then that's all."

"Yes!" said the maid.

Concubine Yi just happened to go over to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. Of course, this was just right, but it wasn't really just right. Concubine Yi had good ears and eyes, and knew about this matter, so she came here to pay her respects.

Concubine Yi frowned when she heard the Empress Dowager talking about this matter, and said, "Empress Dowager, excuse me for talking too much, I really don't understand why the Empress Dowager asked His Royal Highness to marry Xia Wan'er. Everyone knows that this Xia Wan'er is not the prime minister's." His own daughter, when Chen Linglong got married, she was already conceived and gave birth to Xia Lin and Xia Wan'er. Prime Minister Xia couldn't admit it because of face, but they pretended to be confused about this matter, and our royal family can't pretend to be confused. Ah, marrying an unknown woman, in the future, she will be the mother of the world."

The empress dowager had heard about this before, but the rumors were always true and false, and she didn't distinguish between them. In addition, she had received instructions from the ancestor Han Shan to stop this marriage, and said that Xia Zi'an would take action. Going around, Xia Zian didn't do anything, but went back to her.

Of course, she didn't know that what happened this time was done by Xia Zian.

The empress dowager sighed softly, "The Ai family has always disagreed. It was the queen who made the order. Isn't the Ai family looking for an opportunity to abolish this marriage? Now it seems like a good time, but..."

Concubine Yi asked: "The queen mother still has scruples?"

"There are no scruples. It's just that some people disappointed the Ai family." The empress dowager was talking about Xia Zian. She had been waiting for Xia Zian to make a move, but it was obvious that she was only concerned with fighting for land or developing with Ah Jie. Feelings, there is no intention to change the current situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion needs a hard head-on blow to make Xia Huaijun feel awe.
