Chapter 237 Raising a Good Daughter
Yun Fuling hugged Princess Qiongyu's shoulders, and the two sisters said, "No matter what, I have to thank you!"
"Thank you for standing up for me!"
"If you need any help in the future, just come to me. I will definitely help you!"
Princess Qiongyu pursed her lips, but ultimately did not struggle to break free from Yun Fuling.
After a moment, she handed the fish food in her hand to Yun Fuling and said, "Do you want to feed the fish together?"
"Okay." Yun Fuling grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the pond.
Countless koi jumped out and swam towards the location of the fish food.
Princess Qiongyu's lips curled up into a smile unconsciously, and she and Yun Fuling fed the fish while watching the carp.
The front yard of the General’s Mansion.
Tianquan walked to Xiao Jingyi's side and whispered something in his ear.
Xiao Jingyi's expression did not change, but his eyes suddenly became colder.
He picked up the wine glass and looked at Lord Cheng'en.
"Lord Cheng'en, I offer you a toast!"
Xiao Jingyi suddenly toasted Lord Cheng'en, and everyone at the table was surprised.
Lord Cheng'en was even more flattered and quickly picked up the wine glass.
"This cup is for the good daughter that Lord Jingcheng has raised!"
Xiao Jingyi had a smile on his face, but the tone of his words made people feel that it was not the case.
When Duke Cheng'en heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he always felt that there was something else behind Xiao Jingyi's words.
Seeing Xiao Jingyi drink the glass of wine, Duke Cheng'en did not bother to ask and quickly drank the wine in the glass.
But when he finished his drink and before he had time to ask clearly, Xiao Jingyi had already said goodbye to his host Chu Ming and strode away.
Some people who were well-informed had already known what happened in the backyard.
As soon as I heard Xiao Jingyi mention the daughter of Duke Cheng'en, I knew that Xiao Jingyi had also received the news.
Xiao Jingyi's reputation for doting on his wife had long been widely known.
Judging from Xiao Jingyi's expression just now, this matter is definitely not over.
This time, Duke Cheng'en's Mansion has severely offended Prince Yi's Mansion!
After Xiao Jingyi returned to Prince Yi's Mansion, he was still furious.
Cui Yajing dared to insult Yun Fuling behind her back. Apart from relying on the power of Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, she also did not take Yun Fuling, the Princess Yi, seriously.
To disrespect Yun Fuling is to disrespect him!
As for the rumors circulating in the market recently, I'm afraid the Third Prince also had a hand in them.
It seems that he has been away from the capital for too long, so long that some people have forgotten his methods!
Yun Fuling learned that Xiao Jingyi had left first and thought that he had something urgent to attend to, so she didn't take it to heart.
After the banquet, Princess Pingle returned to Prince Yi's Mansion with Yun Fuling.
Princess Pingle came to see Jing Mo.
She had been worshipping Buddha in Hanyue Temple for the past few days and hadn't seen Jing Mo for a long time.
Although Jing Mo had only met Princess Pingle a few times, he had a good memory.
Moreover, children are most sensitive to adults' likes and dislikes.
He can clearly tell whether a person likes him or not.
Princess Pingle was the one who liked him very much, and Jing Mo also liked this great aunt very much.
When the old and the young met, they quickly started playing together without any awkwardness.
Princess Pingle tied a purse to Jing Mo's body and said, "There is a peace amulet in this purse. I prayed for Jing Mo when I was in Hanyue Temple. It blesses Jing Mo to be safe and sound, free from illness and disaster!"
Yun Fuling was grateful for Princess Pingle's thoughtfulness, "Aunt, thank you for your concern."
Jing Mo touched the pouch on his waist and said in a baby voice, "Thank you, great aunt!"
In the evening, Princess Pingle had dinner at Prince Yi's Mansion before taking a carriage back to her own princess residence.
None of the three people mentioned Cui Yajing's incident during the meal.
However, not long after, accidents began to occur frequently in Cheng'en Mansion.
First, the eldest son of the Cheng'en Mansion bought another house outside and kept a mistress, but he and the woman worshipped heaven and earth and called each other husband and wife.
When the eldest young lady's wife found out, she could not endure such humiliation.
He immediately took his maid and broke into the concubine's house, and taught the concubine a lesson.
Then she took her two children back to her parents' home.
The eldest young lady's family was also very angry and threatened to demand an explanation from Eunuch Cheng'en's mansion.
The eldest son has already married, but he has worshipped heaven and earth with another woman. Does this mean he wants to divorce his wife and marry another one?
The eldest son's matter has not been resolved yet, and the matter of Lady Cheng'en lending money at high interest rates and forcing people to death has been exposed again.
The imperial court issued a clear order prohibiting lending money at high interest rates.
The wife of Duke Cheng'en had an imperial decree, but she broke the law knowingly and even caused several deaths.
After receiving the report, Jingzhao Yin went to Cheng'en's residence that same day to arrest Cheng'en's wife.
The wife of Duke Cheng'en collapsed to the ground in fear.
She wasn't the only one who was secretly lending money at high interest rates.
Besides, she is the wife of Duke Cheng'en, how can they arrest her?
But she didn't know that doing it secretly would be the same as doing it once the matter was exposed.
As for things happening under the table, the government can turn a blind eye if the people don’t report them and the government doesn’t investigate.
But once it's revealed, you can't even play dumb anymore.
The Cheng'en Mansion was in a state of panic, and the Third Prince was not having a good time either.
He was running several profitable businesses privately, but recently a strong competitor suddenly emerged and took away most of his business.
The third prince's purse suddenly shrunk by more than half, how could he not be anxious?
If you want to do something, you must have money.
At this moment, someone wants to cut off his source of income!
Before the Third Prince could figure out what was going on, he was repeatedly reported to the emperor in the court.
The Third Prince's Mansion.
The third prince was so angry that he smashed the study.
"who is it?"
"Who is behind this?"
The third prince was certain that someone was plotting against him behind his back.
Otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence that accidents happened so frequently, and they were all directed at him.
"No, I want to fight back!"
"You want me to die? Then let's all die together!"
The third prince was not sure who had done the attack, so he decided to attack indiscriminately.
There is only one throne, and there can only be one person who can stand at the highest place in the end.
So except for him, all the princes were his enemies.
At the grand court meeting three days later, imperial censors frequently came out to make reports to the prince.
At one time, several adult princes were reported to have committed crimes.
The charges are all-encompassing.
From big things like corruption and bribery, forming cliques for personal gain, to small things like frequenting brothels and being immoral.
What was supposed to be a grand court meeting to discuss government affairs turned out to be like a vegetable market, extremely noisy and chaotic.
Emperor Jingping sat upright on the dragon throne, looking at the chaos below. He did not say a word for a while, letting them quarrel.
When everyone was tired of arguing, Emperor Jingping got up and left without saying a word.
"Retreat!"
In the hall, Eunuch Gao's voice was high-pitched and long.
After shouting this, Eunuch Gao immediately chased after Emperor Jingping.
The ministers were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
No one understood what Emperor Jingping meant.
Is this angry or not angry?
Princess Pingle's Mansion.
Princess Pingle fiddled with the flower branches in her hands, smiled and shook her head, and said softly: "I knew he would take action. His temper hasn't changed at all!"
