Chapter 423: The cauldron punishment
Although Shuhui was very confused, she nodded and thought to herself, "I'm afraid something big has happened again! Did someone die? I haven't heard any news! Or is the princess well-informed? She knows everything!"
Yanyan looked at her like this and raised her hand to scratch her nose. "Don't let your imagination run wild. We'll go to Mingyue Tower for dinner later. I heard they have a new dish! It's rare for Mingyue Tower to launch a new dish. I heard it's delicious!"
When Shuhui heard that they were going to Mingyue Tower, her eyes lit up. "That's great! I miss the dishes at Mingyue Tower so much after not having them for a long time! I don't know how their chef came up with this idea!"
"Okay, I'll have someone call you later so you can have a taste!"
After hearing this, Shuhui stood up and left!
Yanyan watched her walk away, thinking about her happy look, and couldn't help but chuckled and said to herself, "The scholar wasn't that bad that night! He was really a little mean at that time, but fortunately they are living well now! I hope Shuhui can meet a good man this time! I hope they can be happy forever!"
After saying that, he took out Ye Shusheng's indenture contract from under the table, looked at it again and again, and finally put it back, thinking to himself, "Leave it there! It's better to be safe than sorry. If he treats Shuhui badly, he will never be able to turn things around with this thing! Otherwise, if he bullies Shuhui in the future, it will be difficult to deal with him!" After saying that, he folded Ye Shusheng's indenture contract and put it very inner!
Only then did he feel at ease looking at the files on the table! His brows furrowed as he read them!
At noon, the wind was cold and the road was slippery.
Yanyan and Shuhui sat in the carriage, which slowly moved towards Mingyue Tower! There were only two or three pedestrians on the road!
Yanyan lifted the car curtain and looked up at the sky, saying softly, "The weather changes so quickly, and we don't know if it will rain soon! It will be very cold if it rains! It will be cold to the bones!" After saying that, she hugged the hot water bottle tightly in her hand and moved the charcoal fire next to it towards Shuhui!
Shuhui stretched out her hand to warm herself by the fire, looked at the gloomy sky and said, "I don't know! But we are almost at Mingyue Tower, so it doesn't matter if it rains! Mingyue Tower is so big, it can't leak!"
Yanyan nodded gently, looking at the man and woman in simple clothes at the entrance of Mingyue Tower, and frowned, "Where did this man and woman come from? Why are they guarding the entrance? Are they the newly hired servants of Mingyue Tower? They don't look like new servants! They are dressed in rags! And they are looking around all the time. The servants of Mingyue Tower are so miserable now!!"
Shuhui helped the princess get off the carriage, looked at the two people at the door, and said softly, "I'm afraid they are here to hide from the rain! The servants in Mingyue Tower used to be very careful! Let me help the princess go in first! The sky is getting darker and I'm afraid it's really going to rain!"
Yanyan nodded and walked inside! When they passed the door, the two of them knelt down on the ground without any warning. "Please, princess, please save my father. We can't become orphans! Please have mercy on us! Please, princess, give justice to my father! We can't live without a father!"
Yanyan looked at the calculations in the two people's eyes, and for no reason she felt disgusted! But she endured it and whispered, "Let's go upstairs! There are too many people here! It's not a good place to talk!"
Unexpectedly, the two refused to get up. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed, their foreheads turning purple. “Please, Princess, help my father. My father really didn’t mean to do that. He just lost control! Please, Princess, help my father!”
Yanyan looked at the two stubborn people, winked at the guard next to her, and went upstairs with Shuhui!
She came to the Tianzi No. 2 box and sat down, looking at the two people who were dragged into the box by the guards with their mouths covered! She said in a cold voice, "Let's start from the beginning! You just kowtowed at the door without explaining the matter clearly! How could I save your father! How did your father fail! Tell me clearly!"
Li Zhaodi and Li Yaozong were kneeling on the ground, trembling, looking at the princess with eyes full of respect!
Li Zhaodi said with a look of panic, "Princess, I have no intention of disturbing you, but if we don't come to beg you, we will become orphans. Please spare my father! Our father is a good man!"
Li Yaozong also spoke up, "Please, Princess, save my father!"
Yanyan looked at their evasive plea and said in a cold voice, "Who is your father? Who harmed him? Why are you asking for help? What difficulties have you encountered? Can you explain them clearly one by one?" You are begging for help without giving a clear reason?
Li Zhaodi looked very pale, but she still suppressed her fear and said, "I am Li Zhaodi, 19 years old, and the one next to me is my brother Li Yaozong, 16 years old! I came here today to ask the princess to save my father Li Wugu who runs a noodle shop! My father is honest and upright! He has always been honest and hardworking!"
Yanyan looked at them and when she heard that they were trying to save their father who ran a noodle shop, she relaxed her vigilance a little. "Who did they offend by running a noodle shop? Was it the hooligans on the street who harassed them, or did they offend that noble?! Did they pay him money or beat him up? Aren't there people in charge of these government offices?"
Li Zhaodi's face turned red and she couldn't say anything!
Seeing that his sister didn't say anything, Li Yaozong bravely said, "They are not even princesses. My father is honest and upright. He is always cautious when he sees them. How dare he offend them! This time, my father and mother had an argument! My father accidentally pushed my mother into the hot pot and choked her to death! The government sent my father directly to the Ministry of Justice! My in-laws are also unreasonable and insisted that my father pay with his life! My father is now imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice!"
Li Zhaodi also choked up and said, "That's right! Why don't they think about us? We already have no mother, and no father. We will become orphans in the future! How are we going to live in the future? "
Yanyan was chilled to the bone when she heard the two people's unscrupulous words. Her face darkened. "This is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice. I am an official of the Ministry of Revenue and cannot interfere in this matter! Mr. Gao is a reasonable and fair person. He will definitely punish him fairly!" It's better for such a person to die! The cauldron punishment is too horrible and has been abolished long ago. He is so cruel. He deserves to die! He really deserves to die!
Li Zhaodi cried and said, "My Lady Princess, you are the Princess! Saving people is just a matter of your words. Please save my father. We cannot become orphans! Please save my father!"
Li Yaozong cried and begged, "Princess, please save my father. My father has always been honest and kind. Please save him. There must be a misunderstanding here. Please save him!"
Yanyan was so angry at the two ungrateful people, and when she saw Shuhui who was trying her best to endure, she patted her hands and gave her a reassuring look. Then she said coldly, "Since you said there was a misunderstanding, I will ask someone to ask clearly and find out what the misunderstanding is!"
