"What happened again?" Mrs. Yu raised her drooped eyelids and asked, "What kind of bloodshed happened again? This kind of thing must have been done intentionally by someone. Everyone in the mourning hall at that time can just check it out."
"Mom, no, the prince of Qi was assassinated. He said that the assassin disappeared after entering our house. Now we want to check our house. There are already government officials guarding the door, and the funeral banquet cannot be held!"
Yu Zhongchu sat down on a chair on the side and wiped the sweat from his head.
"What?" Mrs. Yu was stunned. She got up specifically today to show off, but she didn't expect that what she was waiting for was such news.
"Not only is he guarding, but his son's position in the official department has also been stopped." Yu Zhongyang said with a big head.
"This...how could Prince Qi be so unreasonable? Is there any royal law?" Mrs. Yu's eyes widened. She didn't expect that such an incident would happen, disrupting all her plans.
"Mother, now is not the time to talk about whether or not to follow the king's law. When the Ministry of Punishment comes forward, it means the king's law." Yu Zhongyang said irritably. He did not expect that such a big incident would arise.
Mrs. Yu must have seen the world, and she quickly calmed down: "Don't panic, let your wife go find Concubine Ning in the palace for this matter."
"Mother, we can't go out casually now." Yu Zhongyang took a deep breath and said.
"It just prevents us from going out casually, but we can still go out if there is a suitable reason. Let your wife send someone to find someone from the Ning family to deliver a message to Concubine Ning." Mrs. Yu said solemnly.
Yu Zhongyang wiped his sweat again and recounted what happened in the street just now.
After he finished speaking, Mrs. Yu's face became even more ugly. After a while, she said: "Zhongyang, just think of this daughter as having been raised in vain. I originally thought she would be of some use, but I didn't expect... that she is useless.
If you don't seize such a good opportunity, you will ruin a good thing."
"Mother..." Yu Zhongyang's heart skipped a beat and his voice lowered unconsciously, "Then after?"
"Let your wife do the next thing. This matter is ultimately a matter for the inner court. If Crown Prince Xinkang asks something, you don't have to know. Whether it works or not won't have much to do with our family in the future." Yu
The lady said.
"Mother, I understand... I just trust Kang Bo's son... How should I deal with it now?" Yu Zhongyang has always been convinced of his mother. He actually doesn't care much about Yu Lanyan, his daughter. It's just that he had too much hope before and was reluctant to part with it for a while.
gave up.
"Will Prince Xin Kangbo's situation be okay?" Mrs. Yu asked with a sneer, leaning back, "I thought he was a capable person before, but I didn't expect that he was useless. I can't explain it well. Now this
The reputation is probably not much better!"
"Prince Xin Kangbo should have wanted to explain the matter clearly in the street, but it just happened that the second son of Xin Kangbo's mansion also came. The incident became more and more noisy and made people think he was suspicious." Yu Zhongyang also frowned tightly.
, "In the future, even if Yan'er leaves Xin Kangbo's house... I'm afraid it won't have much to do with our house in the future."
"The future affairs of the two of them have nothing to do with us. Since it is Concubine Ning's wish, we will meet Concubine Ning as she wishes. Even if it fails in the end, it will only be the loss of Yu Lanyan. Your daughter is basically useless now.
, now it’s just to see if she is lucky.”
Mrs. Yu said disapprovingly that her favorite granddaughter had never been Yu Lanyan. Yu Lanxue was better looking, smarter, and more to her liking.
"Then Kang Bo Mansion..." Yu Zhongyang was still hesitating.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to trust Prince Kangbo now. Let's see in the future. If he can resist it, let's talk about the affairs between the two families. If he can't resist it, there is no need to have any more contact. There is also the matter of Xiyi Zhai, you have to find it.
Please tell Marquis Xuanping about this, we can't let it go like this." If it weren't for the fact that Yu Ruiwen was still helping them with the funeral, Mrs. Yu would have gone to see Yu Ruiwen when she knew about it.
The funeral banquet at noon today was originally to use the clan members to force Yu Ruiwen to let him take out several shops such as Xiyi Zhai. These shops owned by Yu Lanxuan were the bulk of the dowry. Mrs. Yu
How could I let it fall into Yu Xijiao's hands like this?
If Yu Ruiwen was unwilling, she would kneel down to Yu Ruiwen and force him to agree.
"Mother, I'm going to Xuanpinghou Mansion through the side door." Yu Zhongyang's eyes lit up.
"That's a good idea, but the most important thing now is Yu Chengxuan's matter." Mrs. Yu Tai reminded Yu Zhongyang again.
"Don't worry, mother. My son understands. My son will go and make arrangements first." Yu Zhongyang stood up, bowed hastily to Mrs. Yu and then left. He was afraid that another enchanting eunuch would come out. Who would have thought that Prince Qi would do this?
Being so arrogant, doesn't it mean that the Prince of Qi came to Beijing mainly to be a hostage?
Yu Zhongyang had a bad feeling. I'm afraid this matter has not been settled yet. He didn't think so much at the time, but the side door to the Xuanping Hou Mansion was really a profitable place...
Yu Xijiao was indeed blocked in front of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. After Qingyue went down to ask, Yu Xijiao went back to the house first. When she got off the carriage, she saw another carriage coming behind her and stopped.
body.
The person who got off the carriage behind him was Yu Ruiwen.
"Why are you back?" Yu Ruiwen got off the carriage and saw Yu Xijiao was still here, he frowned and said displeased.
"Father, something happened to my shop." Yu Xijiao smiled bitterly.
"What's going on?" Yu Ruiwen asked, walking inside, Yu Xijiao followed him, saying: "Someone came here deliberately to cause trouble, saying that the materials are not good, that they are all bad, and that everything sold in our shop is bad.
It was a defective product and made other people uncomfortable when wearing it. Later it was discovered that it was fake and someone was deliberately trying to cause trouble."
"Who dares to come here and cause trouble?" Yu Ruiwen paused and continued walking.
"They say they are... from the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." Yu Xijiao pointed in the direction of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, with a bit of worry on her face, "Father, this... doesn't mean it has been notarized, it is all mine.
, why is this so? Is it possible that they still want to ask for it back? But I spent money."
"The Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion is becoming more and more out of place. It must be the lady in their mansion. She is really unscrupulous in her work. No wonder people look down on her." Yu Ruiwen snorted coldly and put the price on the sale with a notarized price.
There would be a follow-up to her. This is clearly bullying that his daughter is just a weak girl who has not experienced the storm.
"Father, what should I do now?" Yu Xijiao looked very uneasy. Thinking about it, she was only a thirteen-year-old girl, and she had been raised in her maternal family in Jiangnan. How could she have ever encountered such a shameless and reckless girl?
A polite person.
"This shop is yours. Go check it out when you have nothing to do in the future. If there is anything you can't solve, just ask your father." Yu Ruiwen immediately took over the responsibility.
Yu Ruiwen also saw what happened in the past few days. If he didn't say something, it didn't mean he didn't know anything. Now he felt that Mrs. Yu was even more disgusting.
No wonder my mother hasn't had any dealings with Mrs. Yu in so many years. With her temperament, how could she be so fond of Mrs. Yu who is only interested in profit and has no respect for dignity?
"Father, will they... force us to give in?" Yu Xijiao nodded, but still hesitated.
"What are you afraid of? What if I don't give in?" Yu Ruiwen said indifferently, "I don't have a good reputation anyway, and I'm not afraid of how bad my reputation will be."
Yu Xi was silent for a moment, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. This cheap father really surprised her again and again. He was clearly a timid person, but sometimes he didn't seem to have any bottom line in doing things. He was extremely rogue, but it was inexplicable.
It also makes people feel relieved.
"You don't have to be afraid. If there is something that my father has to bear for you, and if he still can't bear it, you can go to your grandmother and cry. We also made the deal legitimately. We can't do it just because Mr. Lanxuan County is gone.
Just ask us for it back." Seeing that her daughter was silent, Yu Ruiwen thought for a while and added this sentence.
"Okay, everything depends on father." Yu Xijiao smiled. The word father was far away from Yu Xijiao's life. She would also look forward to her father and have all kinds of fantasies about her father, but she was definitely
I don't have this kind of fantasy right now, but this feeling isn't bad either.
"You are still a child now. You cannot solve many things by yourself. You have to act according to your ability. Just like today on the street, even if you want to repay Mr. Lanxuan County's kindness, you can't directly fight with others on the street. At that time,
How can you, a weak woman in a boudoir, say such things when your father is here."
Yu Ruiwen said again.
"Yes, my daughter was a little impatient at that time." Yu Xijiao admitted her mistake in a low voice.
Seeing that she was well-behaved and obedient, Yu Ruiwen's face became a little prettier, and he said earnestly: "You are a purdah woman, so you can't have any worries about your reputation. Although your admission to Baishi Academy has been decided, if it is because of some reputation matters, it is actually not the same."
It’s arguable”
"My daughter understands." Yu Xi said softly, then raised her head to look in the direction of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, her eyebrows frowned slightly, "Father, is Zhengyuan Hou Mansion really related to the assassination of Prince Qi's son?"
"My father doesn't know about this, but if I offend the Prince of Qi... I'm afraid it won't be easy to resolve." Yu Ruiwen also looked in the direction of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. Although he and the Prince of Qi had a quick meeting that day, the Prince of Qi would not be able to resolve the matter after that.
He sent someone to come and ordered him to do things unceremoniously. At first glance, he was not an easy person to get along with.
This temperament is quite arrogant and domineering. The problem is that that time it was private, but now it is public. It can be seen that the emperor also agrees.
Yu Ruiwen felt that he had to distance himself from the Prince of Qi. Who knew whether this prince would be targeting him.
"The Prince of Qi is not easy to get along with. From now on, anything that has anything to do with the Prince of Qi will be avoided." Although Yu Ruiwen is not good at doing things, he is still very quick to avoid evil and pursue good luck. He is afraid that his little daughter is not sensible.
I also gave a special warning.
"Don't worry, father. My daughter understands that the side entrance of Zhengyuanhou Mansion is connected to our house. Will Zhengyuanhou Mansion use our path to walk in the near future?"
Yu Xijiao reminded this timid father.
This sentence reminded Yu Ruiwen, his face tightened, he hurriedly called a boy and said loudly: "Go, close the door connected to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. No one is allowed to open it without my order."
Yu Xijiao took a step back and waited quietly for him to finish the order. A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. As soon as the door was closed, some people became anxious...
