Hello Chang'an Chapter 118

After a moment, Mrs. Jie smiled slightly, nodded and said: "There is no comparison between these two paintings. It shows that Mrs. Chang is innocent."

It's like making some very convincing certification, relying on one's own authority, and being superior.

And stay out of it.

After all, she just proposed a way for the other party to prove himself, and she never said any doubts or slanderous words, right?

Chang Sui Ning also smiled slightly: "Then thank you, Mrs. Xie, for doing this justice for this junior."

Mrs. Jie raised her chin slightly: "As long as Madam Chang is originally innocent, no one can frame her."

"This junior disagrees with this statement."

Mrs. Jie's eyebrows moved slightly when she heard this, and she looked at the girl who refuted her words.

Chang Suining asked seriously: "If that painting was really painted by me, but it was stolen by someone, how can I prove it with the painting?"

Things in this world don't make sense. If these words were spoken before she painted to "self-prove", they would be regarded as "exculpatory" words.

But now that she has "self-certified", she can talk about it.

"If it's just a painting that's stolen, you'll have better luck. But if what's stolen is something personal to a woman, once it's revealed to others, her reputation will be ruined, and she won't even have a chance to explain herself. How should she respond? ?” The girl's voice was very calm: “Do you want to die to prove yourself?”

At this moment, everything was getting quieter.

Duan sighed.

Throughout the ages, there have been many women who were forced to die to prove their innocence.

But what happens after they die?

If you fail to prove yourself, you will still be burdened with criticism and infamy.

Fortunately, he proved himself successful and got the name of Zhenlie.

But if everyone is dead, what's the use?

Seeing that the girl was waiting for her answer, Mrs. Xie asked calmly: "What does Mrs. Chang mean by saying this now?"

Over there, looking at the old master who was staring in fascination and about to fall asleep again, the old servant hated that iron could not become steel - how could the master sleep at this age!

If he didn't appreciate such a good painting, he would cry later!

Faced with Mrs. Jie's rhetorical question, Chang Sui Ning said: "I just think that the so-called integrity of reputation is like a sharp sword to a woman. Just walking on the street, anyone can rush up and throw a pot of "lost integrity". Dirty water, and then they will be forced to prove themselves—"

Master Chu moved his eyelids slightly.

The young girl continued: "If they are talking nonsense, why do they need to prove themselves? If they are deliberately slandering, how can they prove themselves? Therefore, I think it is unreasonable to ask women to prove their innocence."

Master Chu suddenly opened his eyes.

Everyone around had different expressions when they heard this.

Mrs. Jie's eyes became a little colder, and she looked at the girl who told lies: "According to this, I asked Mrs. Chang to paint to prove her innocence today. Is it wrong?"

"But if I can't prove it myself, Mrs. Xie hasn't answered the question I just asked -" Chang Sui Ning glanced at the helpless man, "What should I do if this painting is stolen?"

This is the second time she has asked this.

Mrs. Xie slightly tightened the corners of her droopy mouth.

Things didn't go well today, so she had to let the unruly little girl go temporarily, but the other party held her tight instead... How ridiculous!

Do you really think that if you paint a painting that is praised by others, you can ignore her?

The maid beside her said coldly: "Mrs. Chang is so aggressive and uses this assumption to find fault with my wife's behavior. I don't know how to treat guests?"

His questioning voice was sharp and oppressive, and many young ladies' expressions changed when they heard it.

They are still young, and they have known that Mrs. Jie is a role model for women since they can remember, standing like a big mountain in front of each of them.

If the mountain is angry, it will be unbearable.

They subconsciously looked at the girl standing in front of the mountain, but saw that she just glanced at the servant woman.

"When I'm talking to your master, why should you talk too much? Are you so unruly and disrespectful of etiquette? Did you come from the palace?"

Chang Sui Ning sneered in his heart, talking about what if, if it was A Li who was here today, it would not be a hypothesis.

Her question shocked all the female relatives.

The servant woman's face turned red and white, and she wanted to refute, but she could only endure it because of the implications of the other person's words.

Her wife is respected by others for her moral character, rules and etiquette. If she really carries the reputation of being unruly, it will only make people talk about her!

Mrs. Jie sneered: "Mrs. Chang is so majestic, she even disciplines my servants."

Chang Sui Ning didn't take it seriously: "Mrs. Jie is joking, since you are a role model for women, why do you need me to discipline your servants?"

Mrs. Jie's eyes darkened, and she said word by word: "It seems that Mrs. Chang not only wants to discipline my servants, she also wants to discipline me too -"

The words coming out of her mouth seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

The atmosphere was tense for a moment.

"What is discipline? Although I am not a teacher, I know some principles of being a teacher."

Chang Sui Ning calmly looked at Xie who was trying to crush her with coercion: "Mrs. Xie has lived in the deep palace for a long time and has been in charge of the harem affairs. She should be used to intrigues and deceit, and she will frame thefts." It's commonplace—in this case, did Mrs. Jie really never think of the possibility of someone stealing the painting and slandering me before she proposed to me to prove myself in public?”

There are few fools here. After she confessed like this, no one could help but think a little more.

Yes, what a vision and insight this Madam Xie has... Do you really think that you can't think of this?

But whenever Mrs. Xie proposes self-certification, which woman can refuse?

"Her body is upright and she does not obey orders. She is not upright and does not obey orders." Chang Suining looked at Jie's face that fell, and finally said: "Mrs. Xie is respected as the teacher of women in the world, and her words and deeds They are all regarded as truth and have such a great impact that you should think twice before doing anything, right?”

You can hear needle drops all around you. The female relatives were all shocked, as if they had never thought that one day they would hear someone say such things to Mrs. Xie!

Mrs. Xie's expression could no longer be described as ugly.

Wei Miaoqing looked at Chang Sui Ning dumbfounded.

She...how could she be so bold?

Although I knew Chang Sui Ning was bold enough before, I didn't expect him to be so bold!

Moreover, Chang Sui Ning was stared at by Mrs. Xie, but she could still keep her expression calm... If it were her, no matter whether she was in charge or not, she would have turned red and cried, fearing that she would not be able to say anything!

Chang Suijing looked at the disgraced Mrs. Xie quietly.

The other party is not on the same side as her at all. When she came here today, she meant to "teach a lesson" and acted wantonly relying on the so-called prestige. The so-called rules and morals were only used to control and pressure other women -

It's really unlucky for Li Bing, a mere idiot, to have the guts to come to her house uninvited and try to teach her a lesson.

After adding fuel to the flames, I still want to maintain a superior attitude and then leave unscathed. I'm afraid I'm not just daydreaming.

If this happens once, there will be a second time. She is the one who needs to be taught a lesson today, and there will be others tomorrow.

Acting on the prestige among the female relatives, in order to prevent him from repeating his old tricks, she might as well try to destroy the other party's unworthy prestige first.

In the silence, someone suddenly laughed out loud: "That's very well said!"

Mrs. Xie's expression trembled, and she looked coldly and saw the old and disrespectful Master Chu.

Mrs. Chu was helped by the old servant to stand up, with a comfortable smile on his face, and pointed at Chang Suining: "You little girl, there is something on your mind!"

Chang Suining looked at him with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Master."

Students all like to be praised by their teachers.

Looking at the girl's smiling face, Master Chu suddenly felt dazed for a moment.

He seemed a little dim-sighted, and he seemed to see something from this little girl...

Mrs. Jie's cheeks trembled slightly, and she sneered from between her teeth: "Today's poetry meeting was not in vain. Not only did I see Mrs. Chang's talent, but I also learned about Mrs. Chang's sharp teeth and good education... This is what the General's Palace taught me. Girl, it really opened my eyes!”

Chang Kuo had long disliked her, and now he smiled instead of being angry: "Yes, that's true. I, Chang Kuo, have no other skills but to teach a good daughter! This is the way to teach a daughter. I have a lot of experience, so I won't bother you, Madam, to condescend to give you some advice!”

Hearing the words that she didn't buy but that made her angry, Mrs. Xie was so angry that she sneered again and again and said, "It's really good." She didn't want to stay for a moment longer. She kept her dignity and turned around to leave.

She remembered what happened today!

She's just a little girl who doesn't know how to advance or retreat...she has many ways to clean up the dishes!

Just based on what he said tonight, just one word of being disrespectful to his elders would overwhelm the other party to death!

Chang Suining looked at Xie who was about to leave angrily and said, "Mrs. Xie, please stay."

Jie Shi turned around and asked with a sneer: "Mrs. Chang, do you have any other advice?"

"This matter is not over yet." Chang Suining looked at the man who had knelt down tremblingly with fear and said, "Isn't Madam Xie curious about who ordered this man?"

Jie Shi sneered, "How dare I ask Madam Chang about her out of curiosity?"

"If you don't listen, how can you know that you are definitely not curious?" Chang Suining looked at the man: "Tell me, who drove you and where did you get the painting?"

The man was shaking like chaff: "No...I didn't do anything! I just asked about the whereabouts of my nephew!"

Chang Kuo: "How dare you deny it even now! Do you know what crime you should be punished for slandering people with untrue words and fabricating false evidence to slander the reputation of officials and their families?"

Yao Yi was about to speak but stopped.

Mrs. Xie sneered in her heart.

The man said in a trembling voice: "Then... then you can send me to see the official... I'm right, the official will uphold justice for me!"

Chang Sui Ning said clearly: "It seems that someone told you that slandering the reputation of your daughter's family is not a crime."

Dashenglu continues the law of the previous dynasty, and there is also the crime of slander. However, this crime of slander is divided into three categories. The first is to confuse the public with evil words and disturb the hearts of the people of the country. The second is to talk about the misconduct of the government and make disrespectful remarks about the emperor or officials. The third crime is It's a libelous accusation—

Article 3 was only used in handling cases. Articles 1 and 2 were once proposed to be abolished because the court needed to open up a wide range of opinions, but often existed in name only. Whether those who committed this crime would be punished only depended on political needs.

Therefore, falsely accusing a woman of her reputation is not really a crime worth mentioning at the moment.

At most, because of his bad influence, he could be taken to the Yamen, beaten, thrown into a cell and locked up for ten and a half months.

The reason why it is so common to casually accuse a woman of her honor and integrity, and the lack of clear examples and severe punishments is probably one of the reasons.

This man obviously knew the "seriousness" of this and was unmoved by Lao Chang's threats.

Then we have to change our approach -

"Even if the Yamen law can't punish you for any serious crimes, aren't you afraid of being retaliated in private?" Chang Suining asked curiously.

The man's expression changed: "You..."

Private revenge?

Although it is human nature...but can this be said directly?

With so many people listening, how dare this little girl threaten him with revenge?

"I'm afraid this opportunity won't be given to me easily." Chang Suining corrected and reminded, "Didn't you hear clearly how Zhou Ding died?"
