Chapter 212 Coral Headdress
In the evening, several children, reeking of alcohol, tiptoed back to the princess's mansion.
He was still afraid, which meant that deep down he knew that what he was doing was wrong.
Knowing it's wrong, he still does it on purpose. What's going on in this kid's mind?
Song Jinxiu saw it all and was angry, but she could only pretend not to know.
The children tiptoed into the house and immediately ran towards the teapot.
"Pah, pah, pah, why does this wine give me heartburn? My dad wants to drink a couple of cups every day, and this is what it tastes like."
"Qiu Sheng, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Ugh," Song Qiu Sheng held the spittoon and vomited violently.
He drank the most here, while everyone else took small sips.
These children from the village were all selected by the old patriarch for their good character and academic performance. They all knew in their hearts that they had done something wrong this time.
But Qiu Sheng was full of righteousness and insisted that the playboys in the capital were the coolest. If he became a playboy, he could fight against the vicious eldest princess.
The eldest princess wants to kill the clan leader and the princess's sister. Since this can help them defeat the old witch, they can't be cowards and have to sacrifice their lives to accompany Qiu Sheng.
These kids reeked of alcohol and were even mentioned in a family meeting, and were told to pretend not to see it.
For this purpose, Aunt Cuihua and Aunt Huozi started to perform a duet.
"Hey, what's that smell in this room?"
"Is it some kid who wet the bed?"
"What are you talking about? They are so old, how can they still wet the bed? I think the kids have a stomachache. Isn't that the smell of fart? Quick, open the window, open the window and ventilate it."
As soon as Aunt Cuihua and Aunt Huozi went out, the children hurriedly opened the window wider.
"I think we should not drink anymore. It would be embarrassing if Aunt Cuihua thought we were drinking in the house."
Qiu Sheng: "If I don't drink, how can I be a dude? If I'm not a dude, how can I fight the old witch?"
The people eavesdropping at the door: ...
Song Sanzhu's eyes were red. It turned out that this was what his youngest son was thinking.
Song Jinxiu couldn't help but clench her fists. It seemed that the Grand Princess's Mansion was still too quiet. Why not find something for her to do?
Zhang Zihan glanced at the two of them and said, "I know what's going on. You all should go back."
He pushed open the door and said, "Qiu Sheng, if we want to fight that old witch, I have a way..."
Zhang Zihan and several children closed the door and plotted for a day. The next day, Song Qiu Sheng's mental state was obviously different, and several children were full of fighting spirit and went back to school.
"Junjun, go take a stroll around the Princess's mansion again. I don't want anything else but the jewelry and banknotes. Be careful not to get discovered."
At the Grand Princess's residence, the prince consort knelt outside the palace, pleading for his concubine and her children.
"Princess, this is all my fault. The children are innocent. Please let them live!"
"If I let them go, who will let me go? Ah? Because of you, I've become the laughing stock of the entire capital, and you still have the nerve to plead for them? Come on, beat these bastards to death with clubs."
"Princess, please don't push me."
The prince consort suddenly stood up and stood in front of the two concubines' children.
"I just want to leave a descendant, princess, please don't go too far."
"Leave a successor? What do you mean? Doesn't my child deserve to be called the descendant of your Sima family?" The eldest princess was full of momentum.
The prince consort showed no sign of weakness. He stepped forward, looked into the eyes of the eldest princess, and said in a low voice, "Princess, you know what you did, and I know it too."
The eldest princess' heart trembled, her eyes gloomy: "What did you know?"
Sima Qin shook his head: "I know nothing. As long as you let them go, I will know nothing and will follow the princess's lead in the future."
The two looked at each other, and sparks flew.
The eldest princess looked at him coldly, "I want the entire Sima family to serve me."
The prince consort's eyes darkened, and he said helplessly: "It is a common thing that we all prosper together and suffer together. Princess, don't worry, the Sima family will be your best support."
"Ah! Ghost!"
At this moment, Princess Corning's scream pierced the sky above the princess's mansion.
The eldest princess shouted, "What happened?"
One by one, none of them are quiet.
Madam Rong hurried out and soon came back with the distraught Princess Kangning.
"Ghost, there is a ghost, mother, father, our house is haunted."
Princess Kangning turned pale and spoke incoherently, obviously frightened.
"It's ridiculous. It's broad daylight, in the open air. How could this ghost come out?"
Princess Kangning's personal maid stammered, "Yes, it was the princess's jewelry box. It disappeared right under our noses."
"Nonsense! Who gave you the courage to spread such lies and mislead people?" The eldest princess's face turned pale.
Princess Kangning cried, "It's true, mother. I saw it with my own eyes. Inside was the headgear I was going to wear for my birthday. There was also half a box of banknotes, but they're all gone."
Rong Mama was surprised and asked quickly, "My princess, are you talking about that red coral headpiece?"
"Yes, that's the headgear."
This is one of my mother's most precious head ornaments. If it weren't for my eighteenth birthday, my mother wouldn't have given it to me.
"They disappeared right before my eyes. I saw it all so clearly. Mother, Mammy, I was so scared."
"What are you afraid of? Let's go and see for ourselves who is playing tricks on us."
She also took care of her concubines' children. The eldest princess waved her hand and a group of people came to the courtyard of Princess Kangning.
On the dressing table, the space where the jewelry box used to be was empty.
Rong Mama took a closer look and even touched the table with her hand to see if the table had been tampered with.
Suddenly her hand felt wet. She paused and brought her palm in front of her eyes, only to see that it was red.
"Blood!"
Madam Rong sucked in a breath of cold air, and suddenly remembered the origin of this set of headwear, and couldn't help but shudder.
This headpiece was made from the coral tree ornaments made by Concubine Zhou...
"Princess, could it be..."
"Shut up, I am of royal blood and I can suppress all evil spirits."
The princess's mansion was haunted, and banknotes and jewelry disappeared. Suddenly, the princess's expenses became a problem.
The prince consort took this opportunity to buy the life of his concubine and her children with two hundred thousand taels of silver. He also invited a high monk from Tianfu Temple to exorcise the evil spirits of Princess Kangning, but in fact, he was exorcising the ghosts from the princess's mansion.
The treasure-hunting mouse Junjun didn't know that when he was eating strawberries while collecting things, the strawberry juice was mistaken for blood, which made everyone in the princess's mansion feel insecure for a while.
Some maids and servants even sewed banknotes into their underwear.
In the space, Song Jinxiu looked at the brand new step-out bed.
It was beautifully carved, but she didn't like it. She still preferred her own 1.8-meter-high bed with a bedside table and a Simmons mattress.
Simple and comfortable.
All these things in the princess's mansion are marked, so she can't take them out to exchange for money.
Then we have no choice but to demolish it.
Ding Ding Dang Dang was busy all morning, turning these useless furniture into rows of storage shelves.
I have to say that the princess's mansion's warehouse does have a lot of things. Even if they are placed on the shelves one by one, they still take up a lot of space.
