Princess is stubborn

"When the deceased offended the princess, the princess threatened him to report to the officials. However, after hearing this, instead of being afraid and repenting, the deceased threatened that he had hurt many women, but none of them reported to the officials."

Xie Bai's voice was not loud, but he could hear it clearly in and out of the hall.

The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is there a third person who heard this?"

"Of course not." Xie Bai said.

"Then...how can we prove that Her Royal Highness is not lying?" After speaking, the county magistrate was afraid of being misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "Your Highness, don't worry, Young Master, this is what must be asked in the trial."

"Why should the princess take the risk of damaging her reputation by telling such a lie to slander a commoner? If she really wants to lie, she can find other crimes to make up for it." Xie Bai said in a calm tone, "Your Highness You are the daughter of the emperor, but she is still a woman. She stepped forward and made this matter public, just to seek justice for those women who were hurt by the dead!"

After finishing speaking, Xie Bai looked back at Xu Yuyao.According to common sense, at this time Xu Yuyao should feel aggrieved and sad about the damage to her reputation, so as to better win the hearts of the people.

However, Xu Yuyao's personality can never be judged by common sense.

At this time, Xu Yuyao's face was full of reason, as if reputation was not painful to her.

Xie Bai had no choice but to touch her: "Princess, please be a little bit aggrieved."

Frowning slightly, Xu Yuyao whispered, "I'm still angry now, I can't feel wronged."

Xie Bai: "..."

That's all, let's rely on our own mouth and try our best to win public opinion.

The county magistrate nodded: "Young Master's words are justified. A woman's reputation is the most important thing. The princess is the daughter of the emperor, so she will not use her reputation to slander a commoner. Plaintiff, what else is there?" Say?"

Xu Yuyao frowned when she heard this.

Seeing this, Xie Bai touched her and signaled her not to worry with his eyes.

"Reputation? Who in the whole capital doesn't know that Princess Yuyao has no reputation at all!" The husband sneered, "If it weren't for the princess's notoriety, why would unmarried men in Beijing be afraid to go out for a few days when they recruited a son-in-law in the past!"

The county magistrate had indeed heard about this matter, but he was not sure for a while.

Xie Bai was also a little dissatisfied with the county magistrate's hesitation: "Oh? I have been born and raised in the capital for more than ten years, and I don't know when there will be a young man who can't leave the door all day? It's just a rumor. I didn't expect that there would be someone really."

"Then dare you say that you didn't pretend to be sick because you were afraid of marrying this savage and vicious princess?!"

Everyone in the capital knew about Xie Xiaohou's illness, but the county magistrate didn't expect that the other party would just bring it up.

Hearing this question, Xu Yuyao's heart also raised.

Xie Bai did not hesitate: "Of course not."

Xu Yuyao looked at her in surprise.I saw Xie Bai's expression was natural, and he didn't feel uncomfortable lying in the slightest.

"The fact that I'm sick is just because I'm weak." Xie Bai said, "Outsiders just hear the rumors and feel that the princess is cruel and vicious. However, I have known the princess for many years, so I naturally know that the princess is just a little bit stubborn by nature, not a folk rumor. like that."

"You are her son-in-law, so naturally help her speak!"

"Speaking of it, there is no need to ask any further questions about the case. In fact, it has already been proved by witnesses that the deceased was a libertine."

When the county magistrate heard this, his eyes widened: "Since there are witnesses, why don't you hurry up and invite them here!"

Xie Bai shook his head: "The witnesses have already been in the hall and testified. Didn't your lord find out?"

The county magistrate really didn't pay attention, so he asked the master for help, and the master shook his head.

"Also ask the little marquis to enlighten me."

"Of course it's the lady." Xie Bai said, pointing to his daughter-in-law who was kneeling there, "As soon as the lady of the deceased rushed in, she yelled at the princess. It's not surprising. Generally, husband and wife are of the same heart and mind. If your husband is an upright person and is slandered as a libertine, your first reaction should be that someone slandered her husband. But Madam has confirmed that her husband has already cheated on the princess. gone."

Hearing this, the county magistrate was stunned.

Suddenly someone shouted outside the hall: "That's what happened! If he is really a good man, why would his wife come up and call him a vixen?"

"I see that his daughter-in-law is so proficient in swearing, it's not the first time! The princess is definitely not lying!"

"If someone comes to tell me that my husband has done such dirty things, I will definitely not believe it."

The people outside the hall had already discussed this issue with each other, and finally it developed to the extent that it was affected in the hall. In the end, it was the county magistrate who slapped the gavel again and again to calm down.

"Young Master's words are very true. Does the plaintiff's daughter-in-law have anything else to say?"

"Even if Husband has a mind, if it wasn't for the seduction of this vixen, how could Husband..."

The county magistrate quickly interrupted her, and knocked on the gavel: "What I am asking is, do you admit that your husband is such a low-level person?"

"What's the matter with my husband? It's all those foxes outside who seduced him!"

Although he didn't admit it directly, he still admitted the meaning behind the words.

The county magistrate nodded and knocked on the gavel: "The facts of the present case are clear. The murder of His Royal Highness's guards is indeed within the law of our court. The plaintiff sued the princess for disregarding human life, and she made a false accusation! As the daughter of the emperor, the princess sacrificed her reputation today. I have to stand up and make a case of pickling public, it is really..."

Xu Yuyao endured it for so long, and finally couldn't listen anymore.

"Ben Gong stood up today, when did he sacrifice his reputation?" This dog official, from just now, has been talking about his reputation, which is really uncomfortable.

Obviously, Xu Yuyao had already forgotten about Xie Bai's mention of his reputation.

"This..." The county magistrate didn't expect that he was flattered on the horse's hoof, and finally heaved a sigh of relief and became nervous again.

"The reason why I stand up today is because I am angry! I am angry at this shitty reputation that is only given to women!" Xu Yuyao pushed Xie Bai away, stood at the front by herself, and said loudly, "If it weren't for this reputation Suppressing, the girl who was hurt by this scum before would not dare to report to the official! If the former did not report to the official, how could this scum be allowed to go unpunished and become a habitual offender?!"

Xie Bai looked at her back and knew that she had endured for a long time because of her words just now.

"I wasted the time of offering incense for my mother. Standing here, listening to your little county magistrate and a few troublemakers gossip for so long, it's just because I want to take this opportunity to tell women all over the world! When it comes to disciples, it is not your reputation that will be damaged by them! It is this group of men who plot evil, and their evil deeds are against the law of our court! Their reputation is at the moment when they have evil intentions. , it has already been swept away!"

From the moment Xu Yuyao said these words, the outside of the hall gradually became quiet from the noisy, until now, there was no sound, as if there was no one outside the hall.

The silence lasted for a long time, until a voice came from afar——

"His Royal Highness is here!"
