Chapter two hundred and eighty-six, the fight broke out, the prince took the blame
Yu Xijiao came in a hurry. When she came over, she saw the eldest sister and the soon-to-be eldest brother-in-law sitting in the pavilion waiting for her. She walked over with a smile on her face.
After the two parties had seen each other, Yu Zhuqing took Yu Xijiao and sat down.
"Third sister, Mr. Xu said he would help me check on the store." Yu Zhuqing said shyly as soon as she sat down.
Everyone will be happy when their sweetheart cares so much about their own affairs.
"Master Xu, what will you do?" Yu Xijiao picked up the tea brought by the maid, took a sip, and asked bluntly.
Xu Cheng straightened his body and sat up straighter. The three girls from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion looked like they were young, but they put pressure on him inexplicably.
This was reflected when the two people first met.
"Let's start with the middlemen first." Xu Cheng said, "As long as they don't say anything, Ning can't say anything."
The Ning family is now taking care of themselves, and the only ones who can come forward are these middlemen. As long as these middlemen cause trouble, it is the fault of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and they must have taken other people's money.
Yu Xijiao smiled slightly: "Who does Mr. Xu think the banknote sent by Ning belongs to?"
The younger sister of his niece wanted to test him. Xu Cheng did not dare to answer right away. After thinking about it, he said: "It can't be Mrs. Xuanpinghou's, maybe it's Ning's?"
"It can't be from the Ning family." Yu Xijiao shook her head firmly, "The marriage before Zhengyuan Hou Mansion was followed by a funeral, which greatly damaged the vitality. The dowry sent out is still banned in Dali Temple, and the assassination of King Qi
The prince's matter is related. When will we find out and when will we pay back? In order to get rid of Yu Lanxue's marriage, Ning had plotted against the eldest sister and wanted her to be a scapegoat."
Xu Cheng didn't know about this and looked at Yu Zhuqing in surprise.
Yu Zhuqing pursed her lips and told the reason of the matter. After listening to it, Xu Cheng was furious: "How can a small side branch lady of Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion have such courage to scheme against Xuanping Marquis Mansion like this?
's daughter?"
Originally, he did not know the Ning family. All his feelings about the Ning family were based on the narratives of the two sisters, as well as the previous rumors about Yu Lanyan. However, the rumors may not be credible. Xu Cheng knew very well and was not familiar with the rumors.
Adopted a dubious attitude.
At this moment, Ning's image immediately became clear, but just thinking about it made people feel a strong sense of disgust.
Greedy and vicious image.
"My father was also very angry at the time, but in order to take the eldest sister's reputation into consideration, he did not make the matter public. He only asked the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion to accompany him as compensation.
The banknote cannot be issued by Ning, and it is impossible for her to take out so much money again."
Yu Xijiao continued her analysis.
Ning has money in hand, but she has been paying compensation recently, and Ning can't get those banknotes at all now.
Yu Xijiao looked at the banknote. It was the money that the eldest sister paid from selling all the shops. Although it looked like a lot, when divided, each shop was bought at a low price. However, there were many shops. If you buy it at a low price, you can put the money in one place.
, which is also a lot of money.
"Mrs. Xuanpinghou was ill at that time?" Xu Cheng was silent for a moment and asked.
Yu Ruiwen used the excuse that Mrs. Qian was unwell and could not afford to fall ill. Now Mrs. Zhou was handling all the affairs in the house. That was why she made Mrs. Zhou his equal wife. This also gave Mrs. Qian and Mr. Qian some face in the house.
.
But in fact, the medical treatment of wealthy families is sometimes another name for home confinement, and everyone is well aware of it.
"I have been sick all the time. I didn't go out before and after the accident. It is even more impossible to give so many banknotes to Mrs. Ning. Madam has not been so selfless." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and said.
Then it couldn't be Mrs. Xuanpinghou. Xu Cheng was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "At that time, the wife of Zhengyuanhou Mansion came here with the banknote. She was following a woman from Qian Shilang's house. This woman
Mother-in-law, or the mother-in-law who is the personal steward of Mrs. Qian Shilang’s side?”
Xu Cheng remembered that time when he went to Qingyu Tower, he heard that it was Mrs. Qian who took Yu Zhuqing on a blind date. Mrs. Qian Shilang's reputation outside has always been excellent. They said she was kind-hearted and paid attention to Buddhism.
, I seldom eat meat on weekdays, only some vegetarian dishes.
"Yes, Mrs. Qian sent her mother-in-law to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion to find Ning. Then Ning sent someone to explain the matter clearly. She said that our lady... was actually unjust. She had nothing to do with it.
I don't know, it's extremely innocent." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly, Xu Cheng will be the eldest brother-in-law from now on, it is better to know this kind of thing early.
In order to avoid being plotted by Qian in the future, she believed that Xu Cheng was a smart man and also a very decisive person. Such a person would be an excellent match for the eldest sister, and he could also protect her.
At the beginning, I also saw that Xu Cheng was such a person, otherwise Yu Xijiao would not have agreed to the eldest sister's marriage anyway. General Jingyuan's wife seemed to be a powerful person at first glance, and she was not satisfied with the eldest sister. This game was originally difficult to break.
, but it was the best way for Xu Cheng to take his eldest sister and leave the capital after getting married.
No matter how powerful General Jingyuan's wife is, there is no way she can follow her to the border to suppress her eldest sister. Even if she really wants to go there, it will be useless. General Jingyuan is extremely grateful to her eldest sister's biological father and will not just watch her eldest sister being tortured by Jingyuan.
Madam oppresses.
As soon as he said this, Xu Cheng understood: "Mrs. Qian Shilang?"
Yu Xijiao meaningfully excerpted from: "Mrs. Qian Shilang! My eldest sister's shop has been talking about losses for so many years. In fact, it has always been profitable, but these profits have never reached the eldest sister's hands. Now these banknotes are returned to
Sister, actually speaking, it’s not enough.”
Yu Xijiao largely suspected that this part of the money had always been in the hands of Mrs. Qian.
With so much profit every year, if Qian has a lot of extra money on hand, his father may find out. The best way is not to send this part of the money to the Xuanping Hou Mansion, but directly to Qian Shilang's Mansion. It would be best in the future.
Whether it is giving money or giving a dowry to Yu Yuxi, it is all justified.
"Since it is Miss Yu's money, then of course there is no need to pay it back." Xu Cheng snorted coldly, "I sent people to check those middlemen. They should be some who may have left Beijing or whose families have declined."
These two types of people are most likely to sell the shop in their hands, and the reasons are quite different.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu. My father is also investigating. Mr. Xu, you can ask your father if he has any clues." Yu Xijiao smiled.
Xu Cheng immediately understood the meaning of her words and nodded in agreement.
Now that the matter has been settled, Yu Xijiao stood up and left. She didn't want to stay and be an eyesore...
As for what happens next in the store, it will be enough for my father to contact Xu Cheng...
Something happened to Prince Qi again.
This time, not only the Prince of Zhongshan followed, but also Prince Duan, who was involved in the incident and is now kneeling under Danque.
Among the three people, Feng Lanxiu was among them. Feng Yu and Feng Jingze, the prince of Zhongshan, knelt beside him. Seeing the clear priorities, Feng Lanxiu gritted his teeth with hatred.
He didn't see Feng Yu being respectful to him on weekdays, but he was the one who took the blame at this time, following Feng Yu in mischief. This was something he had never thought of before, but now this matter really fell on him.
Make him lose face.
For so many years, he has always been known as a gentle man, but now this reputation has been ruined by Feng Yu. Feng Lanxiu was so angry that he wanted to kick Feng Yu to death on the spot.
But he couldn't do anything. Not only could he not do anything, he also had to take the blame for Feng Yu. The veins in his hands hanging down on both sides bulged.
The dignified prince actually wanted to take the blame for a vassal prince. It would be a shame to the entire royal family. How had he ever suffered such humiliation...
A chamberlain came out of the main hall, walked up to the three people, lowered his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you two princes, the emperor invites you to come in."
"The knees are almost broken. Only then did Uncle Huang think of us." Feng Yu helped Huai Bao stand up and sat on the wheelchair next to him.
The emperor's chamberlain was speechless. Among the three, only the Prince of Qi knelt down. It means that Prince Duan and Prince Zhongshan had been kneeling for an hour.
The prince of Zhongshan, Feng Jingze, was not in good health either. When he stood up, he supported the hand of the chamberlain. His legs and feet were still shaking. He couldn't say a word. After finally recovering, he twitched the corner of his lips and responded.
Feng Yu actually regretted what he said. Wouldn't it be better to recuperate in the mansion?
Why did you just listen to Feng Yu and go to the labor market to cause trouble?
The three of them all stood up, and after taking a moment to calm down, they went to the main hall. A guard came over to lift Feng Yu's wheelchair and carried him steadily in.
After entering the door, all three people knelt down.
The emperor sat behind the dragon case and glanced at the three people coldly. Finally, he asked his son first: "What is going on?"
"Father, this is a complete misunderstanding. My son and the two princes just went to see if there are any suitable servants." Feng Lanxiu hurriedly defended.
"Looking for a suitable slave? Choose a beautiful woman?" The emperor snorted angrily and pointed downwards, "Look... who are you? You are all direct descendants of the royal family, and now you are robbing people in the street.
Regarding women's matters, how do you want others to treat the royal children?"
"Father, my son is really going to choose slaves. My cousin said that there are some suitable candidates in the labor market. He wants to go there, so my son and the Crown Prince of Zhongshan will accompany him there. But who thinks that when it comes to buying and selling?
Because of the controversy, someone deliberately made trouble for some reason. Erchen and the two clan brothers were also kind-hearted and helped people calm down the matter. They had no idea that there was a woman involved."
Feng Lanxiu really felt that he was wronged. The cause of the incident was Feng Yu. At that time, he did not want to care about such things. What did it have to do with them if someone made trouble? But Feng Yu refused to leave. He had to mind his own business. He had no choice.
He could only follow him, but the other party refused to let him go. He actually asked Feng Yu to apologize. Wasn't this a hornet's nest?
You can mess with this Sanjiang bastard for nothing, let alone for trouble.
So people from both sides started fighting, and it was only after the fight that they discovered that these people were not from the Jin Kingdom, but envoys from the Southern Tang Dynasty. King Yi Feng Lexuan was currently on an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty and had not returned yet.
Everyone exchanges envoys, which is the first step in establishing friendship. This matter is not completely official yet, and some conditions have not yet been negotiated. Feng Lexuan used to finalize the final peace talks conditions.
Unexpectedly, the envoys from the Southern Tang Dynasty and the prince of the Jin Kingdom, the Crown Prince, were the first to fight. This matter is not a big deal or a small matter...
