Chapter 144 The First Visit to the Uncle's Mansion
Yun Zishu neither went to Anjia nor to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Instead, she ordered someone to bring gifts and planned to go to Uncle Fengguo's house.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, Yun Zishu saw two men standing like door gods, unwilling to leave.
"Your Highness." Butler Cheng saluted, "One of them came under the order of the Minister of Punishment, and the other was sent by Dali Temple..."
"See Your Highness the Princess." The man in Tsing Yi bowed respectfully to Yun Zishu, "Master Xiao said that he had been sorry for you before and wanted to say something to His Highness before he died. Lord Shangshu sympathized with his deep love for husband and wife.
I am specially allowed to make a trip and invite Her Royal Highness the Princess to come and see me."
"Deep love between husband and wife?" Yun Zishu's tone was cold, "Go back and tell him that I no longer have any relationship with him, so how can we have deep love between husband and wife? Let him not be so sentimental."
"When a person is about to die, he can also speak well." The man in green lowered his head, "I don't dare to say much, but Mr. Xiao looks very pitiful..."
"If I remember correctly, the Xiao family was confiscated and sent to prison yesterday. Today they started to say, 'When people are about to die, their words are also good'?" Yun Zishu smiled coldly, "Should I be moved?
Do you have to cry bitterly?"
"Villain——"
"Your Highness the Princess." Another man interrupted him quickly and said, "My lord, please come and settle down with the Princess. The previous case still requires the Princess to make a statement."
"I am not free." Yun Zishu walked directly to the carriage, "The matter of Anhuai Mountain has nothing to do with me, and I have no obligation to accept his investigation. If there is evidence in Dali Temple, let your family take it.
Let the evidence speak for itself."
After saying these words, Yun Zishu got on the carriage neatly.
Sicang's eyes were like swords, and he uttered one word coldly: "Get out."
Their faces instantly turned pale, and they took two steps back.
Sicang quickly drove the carriage to Uncle Fengguo's house, followed by Leng Yue and Leng Shuang, with six maids behind him.
The battle was not a big one, but there was no intention of keeping a low profile and concealing their whereabouts.
Because Yun Zishu did not submit the post in advance, Leng Shuang was ordered to call the door in advance. When Feng Guojiu learned that the princess was coming, he quickly ordered someone to open the front door and went out with his wife and everyone in the uncle's house to welcome the princess in person.
.
When Yun Zishu got off the carriage, she saw Uncle Feng coming out of the gate and saluting her respectfully: "I will lead all the people in the Feng family to see your Royal Highness the Princess. Your Highness is a thousand years old."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Yun Zishu gave him a weak support and said in a gentle tone, "I didn't inform you in advance and suddenly came to your door to disturb you. Does your Majesty find it rude?"
"I don't dare." Uncle Feng said with a smile, "If the princess can come, the Feng family will be prosperous."
"Yes, this is the first time that the princess has come to the Feng family." The old lady also smiled and said, "It is really an honor for us."
Yun Zishu looked at Uncle Feng Guo with gentle eyes.
The old man in front of him is tall and thin. From a young military commander on the battlefield to a retired old man now, the years have left traces of aging on his body, but it has not reduced the character that belongs to the Feng family, and the demeanor in his eyebrows has also gradually settled.
When I came down, I looked calm and kind, but the majesty was still there.
The old lady has a calm face and a smile, which gives people a sense of gentleness and kindness. Even though she is now the head of the family, her face still shows some of the grace and beauty of her youth.
Feng Ci, the direct grandson of the Feng family, stood quietly behind her beloved grandfather, looking like a gentle, humble and dignified young master.
The corners of Yun Zishu's lips raised slightly: "I have long wanted to visit my uncle Guo, but I have been too busy during this period and have never taken the time to do so."
As for what they are busy with these days, Uncle Feng and his wife naturally know it. After all, the Xiao family was thrown into prison just yesterday, and from then on, Xiao Yunheng and the legitimate princess have truly severed their relationship.
A group of people welcomed Yun Zishu into the house. People in the uncle's house had already started to prepare tea, fruits and snacks.
"The boss has not come back from going to court, but Feng Ci has been taken by the old minister." The old uncle called his grandson over, "Feng Ci sneaked into the princess's house in the middle of the night. It was the old minister who asked me to do it. If there is any offense, please invite the princess."
Your Highness, please forgive me."
Yun Zishu smiled faintly: "It's nothing. The Feng family's legitimate son is as gentle as jade, good at both civil and military affairs. He is a good candidate for powerful ministers and generals. The old uncle must have put a lot of effort into cultivating this legitimate grandson."
When Uncle Feng heard what she said, he knew that she had a good impression of Feng Ci, so he smiled: "I am such a direct grandson, and I have really put some thought into my education. Fortunately, I have been free these years and stayed at home with nothing to do.
There is plenty of time, so you won’t feel tired.”
While they were talking, several people walked to the main hall together. Uncle Feng was talking to Yun Zishu, while Feng Ci who followed behind silently looked at Sicang who was walking beside Yun Zishu.
The commander of the Shadow Pavilion, who was so arrogant when talking about it among the civil and military officials in China, had not often appeared in front of people in recent times. During this meeting, Feng Ci felt an air of alienation and indifference from Sicang, but there was not much killing and coldness.
Evil spirit.
Is it because the rumors don't match up, or is it because staying with the legitimate princess has changed his temperament a lot?
Enter the main hall and take your seats.
The maids came over carrying fresh fruits, snacks, and freshly brewed tea. After a while, the old uncle raised his hand to screen and retreated. He turned to look at Yun Zishu and said, "Why is your Royal Highness the Princess free to come here today?"
"
"I have nothing to do when I am staying in the palace. I thought I would pay a visit to Uncle Guo and chat about some things." Yun Zishu smiled and said, "There are some things that I would like to hear Uncle Guo's opinion on."
The old uncle said: "Your Highness, please speak."
Seeing them talking about business, the old lady smiled and said, "It's rare for the princess to come here, so I have to give a good banquet. Your Highness, please wait a moment while I go to the kitchen to take a look."
Yun Zishu responded reservedly: "Old madam, there is no need to be too polite."
"This is the etiquette that a minister should fulfill."
So Yun Zishu didn't refuse anymore. It happened that she had originally planned to get closer to the Feng family, but they had become too unfamiliar over the years, and it was obviously not suitable to rely solely on the Queen Mother to guide them.
After the old lady left, Yun Zishu turned to look at Old Uncle Guo: "A big event happened in the palace today. Uncle Guo must have heard about it."
Uncle Feng Guo looked slightly serious: "I did hear something about it."
"What do you think, Uncle Guo?"
"Someone should be plotting against the prince." Uncle Feng Guo said, "But whether it is someone plotting against the prince, or the prince is really so ridiculous, it is inevitable that the emperor will be furious, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be kind."
"Will father depose the prince?"
"It should be so." Uncle Feng nodded slowly, "The prince is so ridiculous, he has lost the face of the royal family, and blatantly gave a cuckold to his father. Such an act that disrupts the palace is not only deposing the prince, but also seriously speaking
