On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1787 Do you want to die in place of others?

Song Ping looked at the mountains and couldn't help but sneer.

"You two, I am here to take you for questioning on the orders of my master. My master said that if you don't obey, your legs will be broken and you will be taken away. If you resist, you will be beheaded on the spot."

Song Ping spoke calmly, without a hint of severity in his voice, yet he made the big and small mountains feel a strong sense of oppression.

The two looked at each other, then at the guards around him, all of them were heroic and extraordinary.

If they really start fighting, the two of them will definitely not be the opponent's match.

To take them away in front of so many people, I believe no shady tricks would be used.

Dashan nodded: "Okay, we'll go with you."

The two of them were anxious all the way, wondering who wanted to see them.

When they arrived at the gate of Prince Zhennan's Mansion, surprise and joy flashed in their eyes.

Xiaoshan gave Dashan a wink, and Dashan reminded him to be careful.

Dashan actually felt relieved, as they were originally planning to come to the Prince of Zhennan's Palace.

Just when I was worrying about what method to use, and even wanted to find Jiang Pao to try some tricks, I had the chance.

Song Ping seemed to be calm, but he was actually observing the two of them and noticed their emotional changes.

They entered the palace and went straight to the front hall. Before entering, Song Ping asked them to stop.

"You guys wait here."

Song Ping first reported to Yan Ruyu and mentioned their emotional changes.

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is it really like that?"

Song Ping nodded: "I am definitely not mistaken."

Yan Ruyu gently stroked the bracelet on her wrist and thought: "Let them in. You go to the courtyard of the mourning hall and let them make some noise accidentally. Also, let Jiang Paopao come over and tell him..."

"Yes."

Song Ping took the order and left.

Daxiaoshan walked into the front hall and was stunned when he saw his parents kneeling on the ground.

"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"

When they turned around again and saw Liu, their expressions changed slightly.

Yan Ruyu spoke slowly, "Since we have already met, I will not ask you anything. You can speak for yourself."

She raised her hand to support her forehead, looking very tired and her complexion did not look good.

She was wearing a plain dress and her black hair was only tied up with a hairpin, with no other decoration.

People who are familiar with her know that this is how she dresses most of the time, especially at home, where she keeps things as simple as possible.

But it was the first time that Xiaodashan and Daxiaoshan had seen her. After hearing her introduction and seeing that she looked a little tired and was dressed so simply, they guessed that something must have happened in the mansion.

Otherwise, which princess would dress like this? The wives of the wealthy merchants in Shanghai all wear brighter clothes than this.

Dashan reacted quickly and knelt down to pay his respects: "Princess, it was my fault. I failed to persuade my mother and let her make a big mistake, hurting my aunt."

"My mother is old, I am willing to take the punishment for her. Please let the princess decide. I have no complaints."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he pushed all the blame onto Zhao, and kept saying that he would take the punishment for his mother, like a very filial person.

Yan Ruyu had her eyes slightly closed, but now she slightly opened her eyelids and looked at him.

As soon as Dashan spoke, Xiaoshan knelt down and said, "I am willing to share the responsibility with my brother."

Zhao's face turned pale, and she lowered her head when she heard this: "It's... it's my fault. I am willing to plead guilty and accept the punishment. Please let the princess decide."

Yan Ruyu said slowly, "You imprisoned Liu in the vegetable cellar for several days, only giving her a few sips of water and a few mouthfuls of leftovers. Is that right?"

"……Yes."

"Then you should know that if this continues, she will die soon, right?"

Dashan turned to look at Zhao and was about to speak when Yan Ruyu said coldly, "Whoever I ask a question to speak must speak. Anyone who dares to interrupt will be beaten with fifty military sticks first."

Dashan was stunned, and at this moment, Zhao nodded in agreement.

"Okay," Yan Ruyu said coldly, "Then you intended to kill Liu and put her to death."

Zhao was shocked: "I...a common woman..."

Yan Ruyu's eyes were sharp: "You just admitted it, do you dare to go back on your word?"

Zhao stammered and dared not speak, and lowered her head.

Yan Ruyu then looked at Dashan: "Zhao intended to kill someone, although she failed, but the person she wanted to kill was her own sister-in-law. She ignored the law and tortured someone to death. She should be severely punished and executed according to the law."

"You just said that you want to suffer for her, so can this princess understand that you want to die for her?"

Dashan's eyes narrowed. He just said a few nice words, but his main purpose was to make Zhao confess his guilt and take all the responsibility.

But I didn't think about suffering for her, and even dying for her!

Da Shan grumbled, "Princess, I think that although my mother made a mistake, she is not guilty..."

"You think this is the law of our dynasty, don't you think?" Yan Ruyu interrupted him, "Tell me, your mother is sentenced to death, do you want to take her place?"

"If you still want to take over, I can help you fulfill your filial piety."

Mountain:"……"

How do I replace this thing?

Dashan's Adam's apple rolled and he couldn't say anything.

Yan Ruyu looked at Xiaoshan with a half-smile: "What about you?"

Xiaoshan lowered his head, unable to speak.

"So what you just said was just a casual remark," Yan Ruyu sneered. "If that's the case, then when you saw Liu in the vegetable cellar, you didn't dissuade her, didn't report to the authorities, and did nothing. You knew that Liu's fate was death, but you still let it happen."

"According to the law, you are an accomplice, a criminal who harbors someone. Just now you said you wanted to take the blame. Ha, this princess was just testing you. Do you really think that you are innocent?"

Yan Ruyu's voice was stern: "Although being an accomplice and shielding someone is not a crime punishable by death, it is enough to be imprisoned for a few years. You are so vicious that you ignored your aunt's death. How can people like you be soldiers and protect the safety of the people?"

"You can be so cruel even to your own family members. If one day you are needed to go to the battlefield, can you kill your comrades and the people?"

When Xiaoshan and Dashan heard this, they were shocked.

"No, no, we didn't, Princess, this is a misunderstanding..."

Liu said angrily, "How can this be a misunderstanding? Didn't you see me in the vegetable cellar, or did I not call you? Tell me clearly, what misunderstanding is this?"

Dashan crawled a few steps on his knees and came to her: "Aunt, my mother was confused for a moment. I have no way to defend myself. I only ask you to forgive her for the sake of our family."

"Aunt, you loved me the most when I was little. You sewed clothes for me. When I went to join the army, you made me my favorite food as dry food and sent me to the city gate."

"I rushed back from Shencheng this time because I heard the news of my uncle's death. My heart was intoxicated. I swear that I will bury my uncle properly, smash pots and tiles for him, and treat him as my father."

He spoke so earnestly and sincerely that tears came to his eyes.

Yan Ruyu listened and sighed that this man was truly a natural actor.

It depends on whether Liu will be deceived by him.

Liu listened to him coldly, tears rolling down her cheeks silently.

She lowered her eyes and looked at Dashan: "Are you finished?"
