Chapter 289 The most urgent task is to establish rules
Could it be that my father, my mother, and my grandfather had set up a trap to deliberately lure the Luo family into it?
The more Xiao Yan'an thought about it, the more likely it seemed!
However, we have to meet those people to know what is going on.
"Did the emperor tell the prince just this?" Ji Chuhe asked again.
"The emperor said that a conflict broke out when the people from the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion intercepted this team. Both sides suffered casualties, and this team also lost contact. The emperor asked me and my fourth uncle to go together to find their whereabouts." Xiao Yan'an's heart was full of worry.
They are from Huaiyang, his father's subordinates. There may be some people he knows who have watched him grow up.
"Indeed, the Crown Prince and Fourth Uncle should go together. These people will only let down their guard when they see the Crown Prince. If it were someone else, I'm afraid there would be harm." Ji Chuhe nodded in response, and then hurriedly asked, "When will the Crown Prince leave?"
"I'll take you home first."
"Prince, please bring Rong Song with you this time."
"No need, Rong Song was left by your mother to protect you. This time you have your fourth uncle accompanying you, so there won't be any danger."
"Okay." Ji Chuhe nodded.
After returning to the mansion, the personal guard of the fourth son of the Duke's Mansion came to invite Xiao Yan'an.
Xiao Yan'an only changed his clothes, came to say goodbye to Ji Chuhe, and left in a hurry.
Xu Yan'er didn't even have time to say a word. She looked at Xiao Yan'an's back and asked Ji Chuhe anxiously, "Madam, what did the prince do?"
"I'm going to do what the Emperor ordered."
When Xu Yan'er heard that she was going to do something the emperor had ordered, she immediately felt relieved.
All the royal guards guarding outside the mansion were also withdrawn, and the Prince's mansion finally escaped disaster this time.
The atmosphere throughout the mansion became much more relaxed.
"Madam, the case of poisoning at the banquet has been investigated clearly. Our Prince's Mansion will not be implicated anymore, right?" Dong Ling couldn't help but ask.
"Well, we've found out clearly that the emperor has banished Concubine Luo to the cold palace, the fourth prince has been canonized as Prince Jing and has moved out of the palace to set up his own mansion, and even the Marquis of Zhenyuan has been dismissed from his post." Ji Chuhe told everyone the result.
"Your Majesty is so wise! The Luo family deserves it!" Xu Yan'er immediately responded.
Dong Ling wanted to scold her again, but she held back.
This is not the emperor's wisdom. I wonder how much the lady has worried and planned behind the scenes to achieve the current result! Is it so easy to defeat a concubine and a powerful marquis?
What’s going on in Xu Yaner’s mind?
Is there anything else besides having a child with the prince?
Don’t you think about it? Murdering the prince is a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan!
If there is any mistake, no one in the whole mansion will escape!
All that was left in Dong Ling's heart was admiration for his wife and joy at surviving the disaster.
"Madam, now that the matter has been settled, you should take a good rest and replenish your body." Nanny Ji looked at Ji Chuhe with concern.
"Okay." Ji Chuhe nodded obediently.
"You all should go away and let Madam have some peace and quiet." Nanny Ji said to Xu Yan'er and Dong Ling.
The two men immediately bowed and left.
"Qingluo, go and release Liao Yunfei." Ji Chuhe suddenly thought of Liao Yunfei who was still locked up in the woodshed.
"Yes."
"Wait!" Xu Yan'er came back. If she hadn't walked slowly, she wouldn't have heard Ji Chuhe's words. She immediately stopped Qingluo and said, "Madam, how could you let Liao Yunfei, that evildoer, out!"
Qingluo frowned, "Madam Xu, if you still don't know the rules, I will go to the Duke's Mansion and ask a nanny who specializes in teaching concubines the rules to come over, and you can learn it well!"
Xu Yan'er quickly explained, "I'm doing this for Madam's own good!"
"As a concubine, what status do you have to point fingers in front of the lady? You only need to obey the lady's words. How can you question her? Your behavior just now was disrespectful to the lady! You deserve a slap in the face!"
"Let it go this time, but if it happens again, I won't tolerate it." Ji Chuhe's voice came from behind Qingluo.
Only then did Qingluo stop showing her strength.
After being scolded by Qingluo, Xu Yan'er became obedient. She bowed to Ji Chuhe again and walked out.
"Madam, this concubine Xu still has no manners. The imperial capital is no better than Huaiyang. She should learn some manners." Nanny Ji said softly.
"Madam, you are right. I also have the same idea. When a new mansion is just opening, it is most important to establish good rules. However, Aunt Xu is just like this. It is impossible to change her all at once. Let's train her slowly."
"Only Madam has such a kind heart."
"I'm not lenient to anyone. She has her uses."
Nanny Ji didn't understand what this use meant.
"Mammy, there is one thing I need to tell you. Aunt Qingluo is from the Duke's Mansion and grew up in the imperial capital. Mother specially left her here to help me. With her in charge of the Prince's Mansion, I can worry less."
"What are you talking about, Madam? Am I being overly suspicious? I'm old now. Even if I want to share your worries, I have to see if I have the ability to do so. I came to the capital just to stay by your side and take good care of you. Qingluo will have to worry about the affairs of this mansion."
"I also hope that Madam Ji can stay by my side and live out her days in peace." Ji Chuhe said emotionally, holding Madam Ji's hand.
Nanny Ji was so moved that she cried and was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.
The young lady's mother died early. Geng was a vicious woman who almost tortured the young lady to death. The old lady was most worried about the young lady. She was asked by the old lady to take good care of the young lady, and she did not regret not getting married at all.
The young lady treats her like a relative. Even if she were her own child, she might not be so good to her!
Nanny Ji already knew about it, and the precious ginseng was eventually eaten by her.
She refused to drink it no matter what, but the lady coaxed her into drinking it.
Xu Yan'er returned to her residence and sat on the chair angrily.
"This Ji Chuhe, her kindness is really taken for granted! Isn't she quite smart? How can she also make stupid mistakes sometimes! The prince has already locked up Liao Yunfei, and the prince has not even said to release her, so why did she release Liao Yunfei? I think Liao Yunfei should be locked up in the woodshed forever, and she should never be released!"
"Aunt Xu, Aunt Qingluo is right. It's time for you to learn some rules." Ping'er couldn't help but say.
Xu Yan'er looked up at Ping'er, "How could I forget! You belong to Ji Chuhe now!"
"Aunt, do you really want to keep the concubine locked up for the sake of the lady? Aren't you afraid that the concubine will gain the favor of the prince and share the favor with you?" Ping'er directly exposed Xu Yan'er's selfishness.
Xu Yan'er raised her hand and slapped Ping'er!
"Your Majesty!"
Ping'er knelt down immediately.
"You're still trying to teach me the rules! You're my maid, and if you dare to speak to me like that, you're disrespecting me. Go ahead and slap yourself!"
Ping'er raised her hand and slapped herself.
"Go on!" Xu Yan'er shouted coldly.
Ping'er raised her hand and waved it towards her face again.
The sound of the slap made Xu Yan'er feel a little relieved.
She just didn't believe it! She couldn't handle Qingluo, let alone Ping'er!
