Chapter 557 The Villainous Female Supporting Character Who Impersonated the Tyrant's Savior 12
Zheng Qingwan cried with tears streaming down her face, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.
Zheng Baozhu rolled her eyes.
"Your mother's body is in the yard, and you're still thinking about your dowry. You haven't even gone to see your mother and collect her body. You're truly unfilial!"
"If you keep talking, I won't even hang you; Lord Xia's guards will just slit your throat."
She has now seen through the mother and daughter, and she will not fall for Zheng Qingwan's tricks as she used to.
"you!"
Zheng Qingwan's face turned liver-colored instantly. She glanced at Han Xing's knife out of the corner of her eye and gritted her teeth.
In this situation, who would dare to go and collect the body? She's really talking without any sense of the situation!
Besides, wasn't it all because her mother was foolish? She didn't even recognize Prime Minister Xia and offended him. Even after finding out who he was, she was still stupid enough to try and hit him. Her death was entirely due to her own stupidity; she had no one else to blame but herself.
And it also implicated her.
If she hadn't stopped Zheng Baozhu from returning to the manor and hadn't provoked Prime Minister Xia, things wouldn't have come to this. Her dowry wouldn't have ended up entirely in Zheng Baozhu's hands.
Without a dowry, how could she possibly stand tall in the Zhao family?
At this moment, Zheng Qingwan was not grieving the loss of her mother; her mind was filled with resentment towards Guan Shi.
.....
Zheng Kangquan's face was grim. These accounts made it seem as if his Zheng family relied entirely on his deceased wife's dowry to survive, like a public slap in the face. He had never felt so humiliated in all his years.
“Baozhu, have you thought this through? Once you leave the Zheng family, you will no longer be the daughter of the Vice Minister; you will be just an ordinary commoner. I advise you to think it over again, put your things down, and calm down for a few days before making a decision.”
"No need to calm down. My reputation is bad, and if I stay, I might delay the marriages of the other girls in the Zheng family," Zheng Baozhu said sarcastically, glancing at Zheng Qingwan.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
As he passed by Zheng Qingwan, he snatched the jade hairpin from her hair.
"I almost forgot, this is also my mother's."
As Zheng Baozhu walked out of the room and passed Guan's body, she squatted down and quickly pulled off all the jewelry from Guan's head, neck, and hands, stuffing it into her bosom.
"These are all mine, I'd rather die than leave them to you, you old hag!"
Xia Xizhi smiled.
"Let's go, I'll arrange a female household for you later."
"Then I thank Your Excellency the Prime Minister in advance," Zheng Baozhu said, her eyes filled with gratitude.
As she left the mansion, Zheng Baozhu repeatedly expressed her gratitude.
"I will never forget your great kindness, my lord. I will do anything you ask of me in the future!"
"My lord, I am so grateful to you this time, otherwise I don't know what would have happened to me. I heard that you are corrupt, cough, no, I heard that you are incorruptible, you must be short of money. I don't need so many of the valuables and shops left by my mother, why don't you give half of them to me?"
As she spoke, Zheng Baozhu instructed the servants to put down all the boxes, preparing to divide them with Xia Xizhi.
"I will not accept it. It's getting late, and the other girls are waiting for me to make arrangements. Let's not waste any more time. Hurry up and go."
Xia Xizhi quickly stopped her and made her take it back.
The servants and maids who came out with Zheng Baozhu no longer looked at Xia Xizhi with fear, but with gratitude and excitement.
Everyone says the Prime Minister is a treacherous minister, but without him, the young lady would probably be in grave danger this time.
And where was he greedy for money? He wouldn't even accept the money offered by the young lady; what noble character he has!
Deep down, they were all thinking that if they ever heard anyone cursing Prime Minister Xia on the street again, they would definitely defend him.
.......
In the original storyline, Junze arranged for the girls who had been kidnapped from the mountain to stay in the backyard of the Ministry of Justice.
The courtyard was mainly used to temporarily house women who were not suitable for imprisonment. It was a large courtyard with many rooms, but it was rather simple.
Arranging for these kidnapped girls to stay for one or two nights would be just right.
It's both safe and convenient.
Tomorrow, she can gradually send the girls who are willing to go home back. As for the rest who have nowhere to go, she will find another courtyard to accommodate them.
In the future, these women can do some textile and washing work, those who can embroider can be assigned embroidery jobs, and those who are literate can be assigned to be female tutors.
Of course, the most important thing was the 'accidental' discovery of letters from a maid in General Meng's mansion...
......
"Tsk tsk, I never expected that Minister Li, at your age, practically halfway to the grave, would still have such energy. It's incredible."
The Minister of Justice was enjoying a passionate night with his newly acquired concubine when Xia Xizhi's shout nearly killed him, as if his manhood was ruined.
"Tsk tsk, but you should take it easy. If you go too far, you might die from overexcitement one day, and then you'll become the subject of all the storytellers in the capital."
Minister Li turned his head and saw the person outside the window. He was so angry that he cursed and hurriedly put on his clothes.
"You! You shameless traitor! Coming here to kill me in the middle of the night!"
Xia Xizhi chuckled, "I need to use the backyard of the Ministry of Justice for a few nights, so I need to arrange accommodation for a few girls."
"You think you can just use people like that? This is a place where you can just assign people to anyone you want? What kind of daydream are you having?" Minister Li said, snorting as he came out after getting dressed.
"The girl His Majesty rescued is under my jurisdiction. What, you intend to disobey His Majesty's will?"
Minister Li paused, angry but helpless, and could only mutter curses as he ordered the arrangements to be made...
By the time I finished making the arrangements, it was already past midnight.
Xia Xizhi was too lazy to go home, so he found an empty room in the backyard of the Ministry of Justice, washed up, and quickly rested.
In the original storyline, these girls arranged for nothing to happen in the Ministry of Justice's backyard that night.
The Ministry of Justice was guarded by patrolling soldiers, and she also had two bodyguards protecting her, so she wasn't worried about assassins at all.
Having not slept well for the past few days, Xia Xizhi fell asleep as soon as she lay in bed.
She hadn't slept well for two days in a row, and she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
royal palace.
Royal study room.
......
Junze ordered all his bodyguards to remove their underpants and stand in front of him with their backs to him...
The chief eunuch, Jin Fu, hid in a corner, not daring to breathe, fearing that Jun Ze would also make him undress... Although he was penniless, he couldn't do this kind of work, and he still had a sense of shame.
The guards stood there, their faces flushed, not daring to move. They were all filled with unease, unsure of Junze's intentions.
His Majesty, could he be...?
Junze narrowed his eyes slightly.
He only reacted to that little troublemaker and had no feelings for other men.
Could that scourge have drugged him?
"Put on your pants and get out of there."
"Yes!"
The guards finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and quickly put on their underpants.
I thought they not only had to be bodyguards, but also did shady things at night.
Fortunately, His Majesty did not take a liking to them.
Otherwise, they would be too ashamed to go home and face their wives!
