Chapter Thirty-Three: The Price of Exoneration

"Is there such a thing?" The queen frowned slightly.

Wang Jianhua, the patriarch of the Wang family, took a step forward and said: "My queen, it is true that this happened. My second brother was injured because of Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu's subordinates committed crimes and injured the eighth prince. I think Xiao Wencheng has no way to teach his son. There is no escape from responsibility.”

Xiao Wencheng said hastily: "The empress, it is the humble minister who has no way to teach his son. I hope that the empress will give him a chance because he is young and ignorant."

"Chance!?"

Li Shijiang, the Patriarch of the Li family, said coldly: "This is not the first time. When I was in Li's residence, Xiao Yu committed the crimes of the lower and the higher, and the incident was only three. Isn't this enough to punish him!"

Everyone knew that Li Shijiang was Xiao Wencheng's brother-in-law, but they didn't expect that Li Shijiang not only didn't speak up for Xiao Yu, but also made trouble for him.

Xiao Wencheng was terrified, the queen said indifferently: "Come on, call Xiao Yu up."

Xiao Yu was neither humble nor overbearing, with his head held high and his chest held high. When he was called up, everyone gave him mocking looks.

"This Xiao Yu, it seems that the three major families are going to question him."

"No, I caused such a big disaster and injured the Eighth Prince. It seems that he can't escape."

Xiao Yu came up, and glanced coldly at Li Shijiang with eagle-like eyes, and of course Wang Jianhua, the head of the Wang family.

Because these two people had an indirect enmity with him.

Xiao Yu cupped his hands and bowed, and said: "See the Queen."

The queen glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, do you know why I called you here?"

"Know."

"Then you are guilty."

"Not guilty."

Li Shijiang said angrily: "Xiao Yu, you are presumptuous, the queen is asking you now, are you trying to despise the queen?"

Xiao Wencheng said nervously: "My queen, Xiao Yu said something wrong, he..."

"I'm not wrong."

Xiao Yu frowned coldly, glanced at the three Patriarchs, and said: "It's not my fault, everything I do is self-defense."

"Marshal Tang, what do you think about this matter?" The queen seemed not very angry with Xiao Yu, so she asked Tang Yiguo for his opinion.

"Queen Qi, I have already understood what Xiao Yu did."

Tang Yiguo said: "As far as I know, when I was in Li's Mansion, Xiao Yu was taken by the Eighth Prince and took the initiative to attack. Xiao Yu resisted. And when they were in Zuixianglou, Feng Shichen and Wang Ling were also rude. As for the time on the back mountain of the Xiao family, the Wang family, the Feng family and the eighth prince broke into the back mountain of the Xiao family privately. In the end, the eighth prince signed a life and death certificate with Xiao Yu. , Do it privately, you can’t blame anyone if you get hurt.”

It seemed that Tang Yiguo was telling the truth, but he was actually helping Xiao Wencheng.

Because the three masters all know that the friendship between Tang Yiguo and Xiao Wencheng is very good.

They didn't dare to say anything, in fact they did.

Moreover, there are as many as eight princes in the royal family, and each prince has a different concubine, so the queen naturally doesn't care about so many.

"It doesn't matter how you say it. The Xiao family is also a big family in the capital, and Xiao Yu is also the first cultivator of the Xiao family in hundreds of years. It is also an honor for me in the capital. Let's just let this matter pass."

Wang Jianhua must be the most annoyed. His youngest daughter was injured, and his younger brother was injured by Xiao Yu. It would be a lie to say that he was not angry.

"but……"

The queen stared at Xiao Yu, and said: "Xiao Yu, although it was an unintentional mistake, you have made a mistake anyway, and you will be punished for making mistakes. As long as you can break into the top ten of the hunting competition, this palace can spare you be blamed."

"Yes." Xiao Yu's eyes showed firmness.

This made Xiao Wencheng's old face change again, how long did it take Xiao Yu to break through! Moreover, many people who participated in the hunting conference this time were stronger than Xiao Yu.

Tang Yiguo sighed in his heart, the queen gave the order, and there was only so much he could do.

With a sneer on his face, Wang Jianhua looked at the kid and it seemed that he would inevitably be punished.
