"Ah! Your Highness, please spare me. My body is weak and I can't take the beating. "Li Xiucai was so scared that he wet his pants. He would definitely die if he were to be flogged 50 times.
When Nangong Rou saw this, she hurriedly knelt in front of Chu Xuanchen and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Your Highness, my cousin definitely didn't do it on purpose. He probably has his own difficulties. Please spare his life, please?"
When Chu Xuanchen saw Nangong Rou in such a state, he suddenly helped her up and said earnestly, "Rou 'er, this has nothing to do with you. They did something wrong and should bear the responsibility and be punished. They don't deserve your sympathy. Moreover, he's still so stubborn even when he's about to die. That's even worse! "
When he finished speaking, he personally helped Nangong Rou up and let her stand beside him.
When Nangong Rou heard this, she was so scared that her heart sank.
On the surface, Chu Xuanchen seemed to be comforting her, but in reality, he didn't allow her to plead for her cousin.
He was stopping her from pleading for mercy. If she said anything more, she was afraid that he would hate her.
She couldn't bear to see her cousin beaten to death, so she could only say, "Alright, Your Highness can decide on this matter. However, my cousin's family has only one son for three generations and he's the only son. His father died early and his mother is seriously ill. He really looks pitiful."
When she finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.
Yun Ruoyue watched all this coldly and didn't want to say anything.
She wanted to see how Chu Xuanchen would deal with Nangong Rou's men.
Would he be biased, or would he be dealt with according to the law?
mark(“zhong“);
If it was the former, this kind of man really didn't deserve to be her husband.
When Nangong Rou said this, she suddenly walked up to Li Xiucai and said, "Cousin, I thought so highly of you and asked you to manage the Prince Yu's estate's accounts. I didn't expect you to embezzle the estate's wealth and tarnish my reputation. You still don't want to admit it? You really disappoint me! "
She raised her fist and punched Li Xiucai's head a few times. She then said in exasperation, "Do you still want to live? If you want to, then hurry up and admit your wrongs to His Highness. If you know your wrongs, then correct them. As long as you are willing to admit your wrongs, I believe His Highness will forgive you. "
When Li Xiucai heard this, he did not dare to argue anymore.
He used his sleeve to wipe his face. With snot and tears, he said: "Yes, it was this small one and Dan'er that did it. I beg your highness to spare this small one's life. This small one has not seen the world. When I saw money, my eyelids were shallow. When I saw money, my eyes opened. I couldn't resist the temptation and did this kind of wrong thing. I ask your highness to forgive me."
Yun Ruoyue suddenly interjected, "Let me ask you, were you the one who secretly added words to Uncle Hua's account book and changed the one hundred taels to one thousand and one hundred taels?"
Li Xiucai was shocked by the look in Yun Ruoyue's eyes.
It was a look that could see through his thoughts.
The princess consort was so powerful that he always felt that she knew everything. He was so scared that he did not dare to hide it anymore. He quickly nodded while crying: "It was this small one, it was this small one who did it. This small one has let Your Highness down."
"When Uncle Hua was in charge of the accounts, you didn't even come to the palace. How did you get the account book and change it?" Yun Ruoyue asked.
Li Xiucai instinctively looked at Nangong Rou before quickly looking at Dan'er, "It was Dan'er who gave it to me. She stole the account book at the time and told this small one to add two words to it to frame Uncle Hua for corruption. This way, Uncle Hua would be driven out and this small one would be able to work in the palace."
"Who was the one who gave you the idea to come work for the prince's estate?" Yun Ruoyue asked again.
