Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Chapter 137 Not the Prince Consort

As soon as she entered the door, she received an insult from Fang Xu. Mrs. Shao's expression was extremely bad. If looks could kill, Fang Xu would have been cut into pieces long ago.

Mrs. Shao twitched the corners of her mouth and put on an extremely ugly smile, "Mrs. Yongchenghou is joking. It's because we didn't receive the letter in time. Otherwise, why would we keep you waiting for so long?"

"Really?" Fang Xu curled his lips and stroked the edge of the lamp with his fingertips, "I didn't expect that Xicheng is so big. It takes two days to walk to send a message."

The smile on Mrs. Shao's face broke and she stared at Fang Xu.

"Enough chatting, it's time to talk about business." Fang Xu stood up, looked at the superior magistrate with a smile, and said softly, "Since the whole family has arrived, what are you waiting for?"

Hearing this, the prefect coughed twice, dropped the table in shock, and raised his voice, "Both sides are present, let's go to court!"

Hearing the officers and soldiers inside lowering their sticks and shouting "mighty", the common people all stood on tiptoe, fearing that they would miss a moment of classics.

Before the magistrate could speak, Bai Ji slid down and knelt upright in the center. Following his wife's instructions, he cried at the top of his lungs, "Master Qingtian, please make the decision for our magistrate!"

"Our young master was wronged for no reason, and now he is in low spirits. He almost missed the imperial examination!" Bai Ji cried with snot and tears, and said in a trembling voice, "Now there is only a man like the second young master left in the Houfu. If something happens to him, , How can our lady live?"

Fang Xu raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth quietly, showing a winner's smile.

Having accomplished two things in a row, she was extremely proud now.

The prefect picked up the gavel tree, slammed it on the table, and said loudly, "Now that the fraud is unknown, it is certain that the Shao family knew the law and broke it!"

"Fang Xu!" Mrs. Shao caught up from behind, her face was pale, but she was full of strength when she called her name, "You did it on purpose! Why don't you want to see our Shao family well?"

Seeing that no action was taken inside, the people felt bored and dispersed one after another.

How could the prefect not understand her thoughts?

"False!" Mrs. Shao gasped, her chest heaving violently, "My son Yunzhi... doesn't marry a princess... he's not a prince-in-law."

Mrs. Shao closed her eyes, filled with regret, and shed silent tears.

Fang Xu showed disdain and said softly, "How can a pug defeat a tiger?"

Mrs. Shao's old face heated up and she murmured, "It's not too much... it should be..."

She should never have messed with Yongcheng Houfu.

"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you choose to go to the tiger mountains. There is no limit to your family's willingness to commit suicide. You will kill yourself without me taking action."

When Fang Xu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I say Shao Zhu, don't take yourselves too seriously."

Mrs. Shao's heart was beating very fast. She wanted to pretend to be calm, but her rapid breathing still betrayed her state of mind.

"Thankfully, your Mr. Shao is an official in the court. Do you still need someone else to teach you such a simple truth?"

"The matter has come to this, Mrs. Shao, what else can you say?" Fang Xu pinched the handkerchief, bit his lower lip, and stood weakly, his voice mixed with sobs, "Knowing the law, breaking the law and spreading rumors to cause trouble, the Shao family I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep it.”

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Fang Xu sniffed, his eyes slightly red, and asked knowingly, "But what did the Shao family see?"

"Mrs. Hou, what do you think?" The magistrate looked at Fang Xu with a profound look in his eyes.

"Oh." Fang Xu suddenly realized, suddenly turning his head to look up at the confused magistrate, pretending not to understand, "Master magistrate, the prince-in-law... can also take part in the imperial examination and become an official in the court?"

Mrs. Shao was stunned and froze in place. Only then did she remember what stupid words she had said.

"Whatever you think." Fang Xu shrugged nonchalantly and said in an easy-going tone, "Either your family gives up the position of Prince Consort, or your family gives up their official position and son."

<divclass="contentadv"> Fang Xu looked at her with a playful look in his eyes, "Which is more important, you can choose for yourself."

Fang Xu took out the handkerchief unhurriedly, wiped away the non-existent tears, and pretended to be sullen, "Baiji, what are you talking about? Why don't you get up!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Shao said with a livid face, "We just saw Xie Li cheating with our own eyes, and we only reported it for the sake of fairness!"

Mrs. Shao, who had never experienced such a scene personally, immediately turned pale and froze on the spot.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shao's knees softened and she knelt on the bluestone ground. She raised her voice and said, "Mr. Magistrate, we..."

Mrs. Shao's face turned pale, she stepped back unconsciously, and murmured, "No... our Zhi'er hasn't become the prince-consort yet..."

After finishing her words, Fang Xu stopped looking at her and got into the carriage instead, "Go back home."

Fang Xu naturally understood his expression, but he just wanted to show his mercy for the sake of Mr. Shao still serving in the government.

The magistrate's expression became increasingly gloomy, staring at Mrs. Shao in silence.

The prefect snorted coldly, with disdain on his face, "According to you, if the prince-in-law considers fame before getting married, it doesn't break the law?"

"Of course!" Mrs. Shao snorted coldly and shouted in a loud voice, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how could I have soiled you for nothing?"

How dare Mrs. Shao lie now? She immediately shook her head and said, "Maybe... maybe my son saw it wrong... Yes! He saw it wrong!"

The prefect looked at her coldly and said in a bad tone, "Ms. Shao Zhu, I just want to ask you one question: Shao Yunzhi, as the future prince-in-law, deliberately challenged the laws of Dayan. Is this true or false?"

"Madam, please let this servant speak!" Bai Ji pointed at Mrs. Shao, with a look of hatred on his face, "The Shao family wants to destroy the Houfu family. This servant is full of hatred and has nowhere to express it, so I have to express it today!"

"Why is it impossible?" Fang Xu wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, stood beside her, and whispered, "I have a way to save the entire Shao family. Are you willing to give it a try?"

Fang Xu came out of the government office with a light smile on his lips and his steps were brisk.

Mrs. Shao glared at her, gritted her teeth and said, "You black-hearted and vicious woman, how can you have any good intentions? If you hadn't deliberately angered me just now...how could I..."

"Then I will ask you again, is it true or false that Shao Yunzhi witnessed Xie Li cheating and bribing the examiner?" The prefect said with a cold face, "If you hide the facts, the whole family will not escape jail!"

Mrs. Shao's pupils shook and she murmured, "No...impossible...it won't happen!"

"Since you can't be sure, you shouldn't touch your lips, spread rumors, and cause trouble." Fang Xu waved his hands with a magnanimous look on his face, "That's all, I don't ask for anything else, it's just that your Shao family hurt my son's heart. , it’s not too much to write an apology letter and post it at the intersection of Dongshi Street, right?”

"Yes." The coachman waved his riding crop and sped off, raising a layer of light dust and confusing Mrs. Shao's face.

After lighting a stick of incense, the carriage stopped steadily in front of the palace gate.

Ye Ming was wandering at the door. When he saw his carriage, he rushed towards it with a flustered expression, "Madam... Miss, she entered the palace alone!"
