After Chu Nanzhi said these words, the embarrassment on the faces of Tang Ru and Lin Jinqian softened a lot.
Ji Wanying was afraid that she and Princess Qian would not get into trouble, so she looked at the children in front of her with a keen look, and pretended to be unjust and protective: "How can my cousin say that to my nephews and nieces? They are cousins after all."
My sister-in-law's flesh and blood must be extraordinary to be valued by my uncle and Mr. Nie."
Deliberately looking at Lin Jinqian with a sullen face, Ji Wanying couldn't help but laugh sadly: "Who is my uncle? He has accepted all the best disciples. First, the prince, sister Shu, and then my cousin.
They all come from my uncle’s family.”
Without Princess Qian's previous request, Chang Yanjue would naturally have listened to his niece's words as a compliment.
But at this moment, there was no trace of joy on his face.
This niece repeatedly instigated the relationship between several families, and it became increasingly difficult for him to understand the little girl's thoughts.
With a frosty eyebrow, Chang Yanjue glanced at her coldly and said displeasedly: "The princess's jokes are all the fault of your brother and sister. I and Mr. Nie dare not take credit."
Er Baolin Ruixi could tell that the princess had no good intentions, so she pouted and sneered coldly: "My mother-in-law is right, we are just wild children in the countryside and do not need the promotion of the princess."
"Lin Ruixi, don't be rude."
Chu Nan Zhijiao scolded, and then ordered Shen Yunqing: "Yunqing, take your brothers and sisters back to the study."
Shen Yunqing was very frightened when he saw so many distinguished people for the first time, and when he saw a face with individual motives, he became even more panicked. After obediently bowing to everyone, he led the little ones to the study.
Chu Nanzhi didn't expect that Lin Jinqian would suddenly appear and wanted her son to come to the house to study. She had no control over this.
Since Ji Wanying deliberately wants to stir up trouble, just let her cause trouble.
Anyway, Princess Qian didn't like her, it just made her feel more jealous.
Even Chang Lao doesn't care about this, so he has nothing to fear.
Pretending to be nothing, he greeted everyone with tea. Lin Jinqian had nowhere to vent his anger. Thinking that today was a banquet between Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao, he deliberately provoked:
"I have already received news that the imperial edict is on the way. I estimate that I will be able to arrive at Luyan Port today. The little princess of my family has been spoiled since she was a child. When she enters the palace, she will have to work hard.
Princess, please be more tolerant and don't treat her harshly."
"Princess, you are too worried. I have never been a cunning and cruel master, and I have never treated my servants harshly. As long as these slaves behave and abide by their duties, I will leave them with dignity."
Chu Nanzhi replied very calmly.
But these words made the two mistresses and Concubine Yue almost laugh out loud.
Ji Huazhen glanced at this stinky girl with a dumbfounded look. She really treated Princess Yuanxi as a slave.
It's just that she couldn't find anything wrong with what she said, so she could only echo it:
"There are rules in the palace, and the palace has rules in the palace. No matter how noble Princess Yuanxi is, once she enters the palace, she is a member of the palace. Nan Zhi, the child, may have a tolerant attitude, but she is still the master of the palace.
, there is no need for a little kindness and power to control so many servants, but Princess Qian, as the brother-in-law, should give more instructions to the princess, and don’t think that the marriage is granted by the court, and you can do whatever you want when you get to the palace."
"you."
Lin Jinqian was so angry that her blood surged, and she was immediately blocked by Tang Ru when she was about to speak: "Mrs. Ji reminds me that my sister-in-law is indeed a bit arrogant. If she breaks the rules when she comes to the palace, Princess Pingning does not need to have any taboos.
If you need to control yourself, you will control it.”
"With the words of the Grand Governor, I feel relieved."
Chu Nanzhi smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the figure of Captain Chen Chuan appearing outside the door. He looked very worried, probably something bad was going on.
She strode over and asked quietly: "What's the matter, Colonel Chen?"
"Princess, Mrs. Chu and Brother Shu Yang have not been at home these past two days. Someone took the opportunity to sneak into the yard and poison the fish raised by the princess in the pond."
Chen Chuan frowned tightly. Seeing Chu Nanzhi's face gradually darkening, he quickly apologized full of self-blame: "It's all my fault, General, for being incompetent and failing to take care of the fish pond, General."
"It's not a big deal, it's just a loss of a few hundred taels of silver. I'll just make up for it later."
Chu Nanzhi immediately interrupted him and said comfortingly: "You don't need to blame yourself for this little thing."
Although she was extremely angry in her heart, it was obvious that someone was deliberately trying to disgust her, so she would not fall into other people's tricks.
"Go ahead."
Chu Nanzhi waved gently towards Chen Chuan.
Just as Chen Chuan was about to turn around, he heard a noisy quarrel in the yard.
Chu Nanzhi felt a shiver on her forehead, and the two of them looked at each other and walked quickly towards the place where the sound came from.
When they arrived at the door of the living room, they saw a group of people surrounding Lin Jinxiao, talking loudly: "What should we do? The imperial envoy was assassinated, which is a serious crime of genocide. I don't know who has the courage to do such a big thing."
Something that goes against the grain.”
Chu Nanzhi looked at Lin Jinxiao who was sitting upright and asked anxiously: "What happened?"
Li Sanmu was the first person to discover this outside the city. He was at a loss and said: "Someone intercepted and killed the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to announce the decree outside the city."
Lin Jinxiao felt even more uneasy, and showed her several edicts in his hand: "The messenger who came to deliver the edict of commendation to his mother-in-law and the officials was fine, but the imperial envoy who came ahead of them to deliver the edict of marriage was killed.
Murdered.”
"The envoy who delivered the marriage edict was murdered?"
Chu Nanzhi suddenly felt bad.
What was the purpose of intercepting and killing the envoys without any reason?
It's just an edict granting marriage, and it's not a confidential matter. If you want to intercept it, you should intercept the edict that commends the officials.
After thinking about it, she immediately realized that someone might want to use this matter to express their dissatisfaction with the marriage.
From a superficial point of view, the people who are most dissatisfied are naturally the people from the Liu and Chu families.
Obviously, this matter was directed at him again.
Sure enough, as soon as she came to the conclusion, the school heard about what happened in the courtyard, and everyone rushed out in a hurry.
Seeing several edicts in Lin Jinxiao's hand, and thinking that only the marriage edict had been snatched away, Lin Jinqian pointed the finger at Chu Nanzhi without hesitation: "It's you, it must be you, you don't want Yuan Xi to
She married into the royal palace, so she sent people to intercept and kill the envoy and took away the edict."
"Princess is really good at solving cases. She is pouring dirty water on me without any evidence."
Chu Nanzhi shook her head helplessly: "It is not a secret that Princess Yuanxi married into the royal palace. If I really wanted to stop it, I should go to the capital to face the emperor and ask your majesty face to face. Why bother to assassinate a chamberlain who is delivering the imperial edict? The edict is gone.
Another thing to add is that anyone with a discerning eye understands this truth."
There is no doubt that this matter was either done by an immature child or someone with ulterior motives who wanted to sow discord between Lin Jinxiao and the Tang family.
