Chapter 262: The squash is crying and the squash is wet
Pang Duo asked questions one after another, which were obviously full of sarcasm, and Yin became more and more speechless.
But Pang Duo had no intention of letting Yin go at all, and his words became more and more blunt, not leaving any face for Yin, the so-called marquis' wife.
It can be said that Yin's face was directly torn off and stepped into the mud.
Yin knew that being a mistress was not honorable, so she had been scheming for so long!
She used all means to finally win the position of the principal wife, although it is not recognized by the world;
She also snatched away all of Fu Baozhen's dowry and acquired the huge wealth she had always dreamed of!
However, the honor of the Marquis's wife that she thought she had snatched away would always belong to Fu Baozhen in the eyes of others.
And she, Yin Lianlian, would always be the humble and lowly concubine, the unmarried and unengaged second wife, and even this minor official of the sixth rank and the runners in the yamen could make fun of her at will.
I’m afraid she will never be able to erase this dark history in this lifetime!
But when faced with humiliation and shame, she could endure it. After all, she had endured it for so many years that her face was no longer vulnerable to a needle prick!
But what she couldn't bear was the shock and fear!
Yin was afraid that something would happen next that she couldn't even imagine!
The mansion was robbed and she had nothing left.
However, that's not the worst.
The worst thing is all the consequences that come from this that she can't deal with!
Yin originally thought that as long as she could take these shops and farms back into her hands, the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion could still be maintained.
But now it seems... I can't count on you!
Not only can she not be relied upon, but how can she fill the holes she had stolen in these shops before?
Rely on your mother's family?
Expect a cool effect?
Do you expect Leng Xian to rely on the non-existent father-daughter relationship to convince Leng Rongyue and let Leng Rongyue help them cover up and smooth over everything?
Do you expect Leng Rongyue to hand over these shops and farms to them so that they can use them as they please?
Do you expect Leng Rongyue to continue using these shops and farms to support them?
is it possible?
Especially now, Leng Rongyue is under the protection of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
Leng Rongyue also had the emperor's gift of marriage.
At this time, such a situation would occur, which I had never expected.
Now, I haven't planned to defeat Leng Rongyue yet;
Leng Rongyue has not yet been destroyed, nor has her reputation been ruined;
Leng Rongyue is not dead yet!
As long as Leng Rongyue is still alive and well, all the property left by Fu Baozhen will belong to Leng Rongyue.
If the investigation into the theft at Marquis Qinxing's Mansion brought up old accounts, then the greater the property loss of Leng Rongyue, the greater the crime he would have to bear!
How could Yin not be frightened by this?
Yin calmed her confused mind and warned herself:
This is a silver shop, not a court;
Don't be afraid, stay calm, and don't admit anything!
Yin forced herself to look at Pang Duo, "Sir, are your words too much?
Even if you are an official of Shuntian Prefecture;
Even if you are investigating the theft case at Qinxing Marquis's mansion;
Even if you are checking the accounts of my wife's shops, you cannot accuse me, frame me, or even verbally insult me based on your imagination..."
"Wait, wait, wait..." Pang Duo stopped Yin's series of accusations and looked at her calmly, "No wonder... this lady was able to rise from a concubine to a successor. She really has the ability to deny things with a sharp tongue!
But, your words may seem powerful, but actually they are meaningless.
Because there is not a single word that can be used to prove your innocence.
Besides…” Pang Duo turned his head and looked at the officials standing aside and watching the excitement.
"Tell me, from the beginning to the end, have I ever made any groundless accusations against this lady?
Has this lady ever been falsely accused without any reason?
Oh, most seriously, have I ever verbally insulted this lady?"
Several officials nearby were watching the excitement with great interest, when they suddenly saw their master asking them questions. Some shook their heads, some waved their hands, “No, no… the master is just asking questions seriously and seriously!”
"That's right. As an official investigating a case, isn't it normal for you to ask a few questions and raise a few doubts?"
"Yes! I think that everything you asked was true and there was no groundless accusation!"
"Yes, that's right, I think so too.
As for false accusation, that is even more impossible!
What did our Lord accuse you of?"
"Yes! Madam, I wonder what our Lord has falsely accused you of?
Did they falsely accuse you, the original wife who was married in a formal ceremony and welcomed into the Marquis Qinxing’s mansion in a grand sedan chair, of being a mistress or a successor?
You've never had an outhouse?
Aren't you a stepmother?
Or have you never robbed any of the shops belonging to the late wife and the eldest daughter?
Or did the silver that slipped away from those two shops somehow end up at your mother's house?"
"That's exactly what you said!
Besides, you said that we adults verbally insulted you. May I ask which words insulted you?
Everything we adults say is true!
Haven't you been mean to the eldest daughter of the family?
I would like to ask you something..." The official said, raising his hand to poke his own face, then pointed at Yin, "Your face..."
"puff……"
"puff……"
Before the officer could say what Yin's face looked like, several officers burst into laughter.
Speaking of Yin's face... colorful... it was enough for fifteen people to look at for half a month. It was simply too ugly! They couldn't help but want to laugh.
One of the officers leaned on the counter, trying not to laugh, and asked Yin, "Madam, I dare to ask, wasn't your face slapped by the second wife of the Duke of Anguo's mansion?
If it wasn't the Second Lady of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion who smoked it, then who smoked it?"
The several officers nearby all laughed "Puchi...Puchi..." again.
Yin stood here, feeling as if she was being tortured by the ridicule and sarcasm of these people!
She couldn't hold it back any longer, and tears finally flowed out.
However, the two lines of tears on this face can definitely not be described as pear blossoms in the rain, nor does it give off a feeling of being lovable.
It's like rain falling on an old squash, at best it just makes the old squash wet.
