Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

"Father, what happened?" Wen Ziqi quickly knelt down and supported the Prime Minister's wife.

"Who told you to come out? Go back and think about it!" The prime minister was really confused when he saw the three of them.

"Father, I told you, I was knocked unconscious by someone." Wen Moliang was also telling his story, but no one believed him anymore.

"What happened to father? Liang'er is usually very obedient," Wen Ziqi said, then looked at Wen Moliang and asked, "How did you offend father? Why don't you apologize quickly?"

"Second Miss Wen, I'm afraid this can't be solved by an apology. Your brother was looking for prostitutes in a brothel. Look at the person kneeling in the corner, the witness, who is accusing Wen Xi and I of being in a brothel. Tell me, the Prime Minister even specially invited my mother here. Isn't it to seek justice? Even if Wen Xi doesn't want this reputation, can I not want it? You'd better find out what happened and don't do something stupid," Su Jinxiu said indifferently to Wen Ziqi without any mercy.

Wen Ziqi's intuition told her to look at Xue. Xue's eyes flickered as she looked at her. Wen Ziqi knew immediately that this must have been planned by her mother, but she miscalculated and was caught by someone. She always said that she was thinking about her and her brother, but since Wen Jiu did some things, none of them were successful. It was really stupid. She knew that she could not save her mother today. There were witnesses. She turned to look at the prime minister and said, "Father, can you find out the truth about this matter?"

"You'd better stay out of this matter and go back to your room to continue copying women's virtues instead of making trouble." The prime minister was full of annoyance. Wen Ziqi saw it clearly and had to save herself first, so she said, "If this matter is really a frame-up by mother, then please be lenient with me, father. Mother has worked hard for this family for more than ten years. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. It's just that the power to run the family should be in the hands of grandmother." She expressed her fair position, but she didn't see Xue's incredulous eyes. Even the old lady and Zhao looked at Wen Ziqi.

This woman is really a woman who knows the current situation. She asked for the death of her biological mother and also seized the power from others. Zhao really thought this woman was cruel.

"The evidence is conclusive. It's my fault that I believed the slander and troubled my sister-in-law to come here. I will apologize later. I'm very sorry. As for Liang'er, come here, punish him according to the family rules." The Prime Minister loved Wen Moliang so much before, but now he is so cruel, because he has lost a lot of face today, not only in Chunfeng Tower, but also when he saw Zhao.

"Master, husband, you can't do this. Liang'er will soon be preparing for the Autumn Examination. How can she bear this according to the family rules? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have plotted against Xi'er. It's my fault. Punish me, punish me. Please let him go. I beg you." Xue panicked when she saw Wen Moliang being put on the bench. If this family rule was followed, not to mention the Autumn Examination, she would lose half her life. How could her spoiled Liang'er bear this?

The Prime Minister looked down at Mrs. Xue and said, "Oh, yes, it's all because of you. If it weren't for you, I would lose so much face today. You are really not as good as Zhuohua. She is upright and honest, while you are dirty and filthy. She is a lady from a wealthy family, and you were at most a concubine. I am ashamed of Zhuohua. Now I think you are really not as good as her..."

The prime minister was still comparing Xue and Su Zhuohua. Wen Xi clenched her fists and endured it. Now was not the right time. The person she was looking for had not been brought back yet. She could not be convicted at once. Now letting her lose her favor and trust was the first step.

"Wen Jinqi, are you saying this without conscience? I'm not good? I'm not good, why did you sneak me in? I'm not good, why did you mention me as the mistress? I'm not good, who made the vows of love? I just did this, and you actually denied everything I said. You are really great. When Su Zhuohua saw you, who was full of calculations, she would probably..." Xue was biting like a mad dog at this time, but unfortunately her words were interrupted.

"Mother, what are you talking about? The eldest lady is naturally the best. It's okay for father to compare you. Don't lose your sense of propriety." Wen Ziqi's words woke up Xue. Yes, she was at most under house arrest now. She would have a chance to turn things around when Qi'er married the prince. Then she would be able to come out. The old lady was old and could only manage the household for a few more years. She just spoke without thinking, so she simply chose to keep silent.

"That's really good, Xue. You married into the Prime Minister's mansion and still feel wronged? It seems that I doted on you too much. Come, lock the lady up in her own yard. No one is allowed to visit her and she is not allowed to go out. She can go out on the day of Qi'er's wedding. If she is not well behaved, she will not be allowed to go out on the wedding day." The Prime Minister waved his hand, and the people pulled Xue away. Wen Ziqi followed and took her leave. Just as Xue went downstairs, she heard the sound of the board and Wen Moliang's shouting. She was filled with grief and indignation for a moment, and gritted her teeth secretly, determined to avenge this with blood.

"Madam, have a cup of tea to wake up. The beating should be over soon. It's time to give Xi'er an explanation. Although I am Xi'er's aunt, this is also my sister's child. I feel very sad. If today's plan succeeds, it may not be as simple as the family rules for Xi'er today!" Zhao took Wen Xi's hand and patted it gently, looking at the old lady.

"This must be to compensate Xier. I'm giving Xier a few shops and a farm as compensation. Are you satisfied with this?" The old lady looked at Wen Xi with a bit of kindness on her face.

"Grandma, how dare I take over your shop and farm? It's good to investigate this matter, so that my cousin and I can be cleared of all charges." Wen Xi spoke in his usual submissive manner, which made Zhao unhappy. "What are you talking about? The elders' gift cannot be refused. This is your compensation. It is also a warning to those who want to harm you. If they want to harm you, there is still the General's Mansion to find out the truth. Next time, once the truth is found out, those people will pay with their lives. It's not that simple. Remember that your grandmother and grandfather are not good-tempered people, and your uncles are not people who bend the law for personal gain, so be bold and be yourself."

"Yes, Xi'er, this is your grandmother's compensation to you. Nanny has gone to get the land deeds. They are all good locations. You can also give one or two to Jin Xiu. This is also your grandmother's apology. Xi'er, we are all family." The old lady listened to Zhao's words and did not dare to slack off and quickly explained to Wen Xi

"Yes, grandma, I'll take over this shop, and I'll let my cousin choose first," Wen Xi replied obediently.

"Good, you are really a good grandson of your grandmother." The old lady touched his head with a loving look on her face.

"Xi'er, you and Jin Xiu, it was my recklessness as an elder today. Since the old lady has given you compensation, you should accept it. Xi'er, if anyone bullies you in the future, remember to tell father, and I will definitely take care of it for you."

"Thank you, father." Wen Xi bowed his hands to express his gratitude. He had never expected to see any hope in him...
