On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

After thinking for a while, she suppressed her expression and said, "Forget it, it's better to have less trouble than more."

Anyway, she had already exchanged part of the dowry Liang gave her for silver notes. If anything happened to the Changping Marquis' Mansion, she would just flee far away.

As for Su Sui-an...

If she had the ability, she would survive on her own strength.

If she can't survive, then she is useless.

...

The Mansion of the Earl of Yong'an.

Mrs. Xu, the wife of the Earl of Yong'an, started to have eyelids twitching early in the morning.

"Go and see if the two young masters are up now."

What could make her so worried were probably her two troublesome sons.

A eunuch who loves women.

A man with outstanding appearance who prefers women who are 10 or 20 years older than him...

What evil did she do?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again.

The servant returned soon.

"The Second Young Master got up early this morning and is currently discussing with his teacher at the clan school about how to participate in the Imperial College examination."

The Imperial College Examination was a threshold for the noble families in Luoyang to enter the Imperial College to continue their studies.

Before this, Shen Qi had failed the exam twice.

Originally, when she encountered the thank-you banquet at the Marquis of Changping's residence, she was worried that her son would be hurt.

Now it seems that she was overthinking.

Thinking of this, Xu was immediately comforted, "Then don't disturb the Second Young Master for now."

It's better to study hard at home than to hang out with women.

One can take the Imperial College examination until the age of 25.

If she could find him a wife within that time, all would be well.

She had originally wanted Su Kang's daughter to be her daughter-in-law, but unfortunately...

After what happened, it was impossible for her Yong'an Marquis' Mansion to accept that woman again.

Well, after all, Su Sui'an was the unlucky girl who couldn't enter their blessed family...

Thinking of this, Xu finally let it go.

"Madam, something bad has happened. The eldest young master is missing." A servant hurriedly trotted back from Shen Meng's yard.

Almost at the same time, another servant came running back from outside.

"Madam, something bad has happened. The eldest young master went to the Marquis of Changping's mansion and had an affair with the Marquis's concubine. The Marquis of Changping was furious and castrated him. Now he has been carried to the government office in Jingji for treatment..."

When the two servants were talking at the same time, the smile on Lady Yong'an's face had not even subsided.

"You...can you say that again?"

She widened her eyes and pointed at the boy who ran back from outside, "You, tell me again, who did what? Where is the young master now?"

The following words were almost screamed by Lady Yong'an.

The sound was so penetrating that almost everyone present couldn't help but cover their ears.

After the servant repeated what he had just said, Xu's eyes almost went dark.

"Quick, go and find the Lord, go, go to the Jingji government office. If the Changping Marquis's Mansion really dares to bully me to this extent, I will not let it go easily."

After saying that, she turned around and rushed to the government office in Gyeonggi Province.

Because she walked too fast, she staggered a little.

If it weren't for the maid supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground by now.

He stumbled all the way into the sedan chair.

They ran into the sedan chair from the Hong family head-on.

The two people ended up in the same direction through different paths.

It was not until she got off the sedan that Lady Yong'an saw clearly that the person sitting in the sedan was Hong Xiru.

"Master Hong..."

After all, Hong Xiru also worked in the Hanlin Academy.

Even though Xu was arrogant in the past, she never thought of offending Hong Xiru too much.

Hong Xiru's face didn't look very good either.

Looking at the direction Hong Xiru is coming from, it seems...

Changpinghou Mansion.

Lady Yong'an had some vague guesses in her mind.

But at this time, any speculation is not as important as her son's life.

Damn Su Qishun!!

He is the only child in her Yong'an Earl's Mansion.

The front hall of the Gyeonggi Prefecture Government Office was very large.

Two rows of government officials from the capital stood neatly on both sides.

As soon as Lady Yong'an entered the front hall, her eyes were dazzled by the scene before her.

In the center of the front hall, several doctors were lifting up her son's pants and checking the bloody wound like watching a monkey.

There is no obstruction.

And her poor son's lips had already turned blue-gray and his face looked deathly.

Jingzhao Yin Xu Ke was transferred back to Beijing from other places at the beginning of the year. Before that, Xu Ke had been serving as the governor of Yazhou County in the south...

It can be said that before being transferred back, Xu Ke had no connection with the high-ranking families in Beijing.

Perhaps it was because of this that Emperor Ming Qing transferred the person back.

Thinking of this, Xu felt more confident.

Anyone who is not a corrupt official who accepted bribes knows how wronged her child was.

The Marquis of Changping's Mansion has gone too far in bullying the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion.

...

Dingbei Palace.

Fu Jingrong was training the three pastoral dogs of different fur colors in front of him with great interest.

"Da Huang, backflip."

"Dahei, roll over."

"Flowerhair, stand still."

The three pastoral dogs looked as if they had just been weaned.

Hearing Fu Jingrong's orders, the little guys tilted their furry heads and looked at him in confusion, their confused eyes rolling around.

It seemed to be asking: What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly.

"Listen..."

Fu Jingrong was very patient and pointed at the little black dog, "Big Black."

The little black dog's eyes suddenly seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of starlight, and it barked twice happily at Fu Jingrong.

Fu Jingrong nodded with satisfaction, took the soft minced meat beside him, and poured it into the dog bowl in front of the little black dog.

Then he picked up the little black dog with one hand and did a backflip on him.

"Backflip."

After turning it over, put the minced meat into the little black dog's mouth.

When the little black dog smelled the meat, his confused eyes brightened up again.

After eating two bites, Fu Jingrong picked up the little black dog again and said, "Okay, I've eaten. I need to keep working hard."

As he spoke, while the little black dog was staring at the bowl of minced meat with an unsatisfied look in its eyes, he reached out his hand to teach it to use its hind legs.

"Come on, do another backflip. Once you can do it, you can eat it."

The little black dog let Fu Jingrong play with him with despair. No matter how he moved his legs, it seemed like they had nowhere to put them.

The other two puppies were looking at their owner and Dahei with confusion, they seemed to be having a good time. Out of boredom, the two puppies started playing by themselves.

When Yi Zhi returned to Dingbei Palace with the news, he saw his master squatting down and trying hard to teach the puppy to do a backflip.

very funny.

But he didn't dare to laugh.

His fingers moved slightly, and then he realized that he was holding the news from Duke Gu's Mansion in his hand.

This matter was of great importance, so he didn't care about Fu Jingrong's current mood. He walked up to him and greeted him seriously.

"master."

His shout made the little black dog, who was learning a backflip, scream and fly into Fu Jingrong's arms.

The little yellow dog and the little flower dog who were fighting and playing were also frightened by Yi Zhi's shout, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Whoosh" he got behind Fu Jingrong, timidly showing half of his head, and looked at him in confusion...

Fu Jingrong called the servants with a dull look on his face.

"Take these little creatures away and take good care of them. If even a hair is missing, you will be the only ones to blame."

"Yes."

Yi Zhi didn't understand why his master suddenly wanted to find a few puppies these days, and why he was so persistent in making the puppies do backflips.

But his intuition told him that it must be related to the girl from the Su family.

He just doesn't understand.

Ever since returning to Beijing, his eldest son seemed to be hanging around the girl from the Su Mansion. He could have revealed his identity and put pressure on the Su Mansion in disguise, but he acted like a servant, doing all kinds of things against his will just to win the girl's acceptance from the bottom of her heart.

While Yi Zhi was thinking, Fu Jingrong had already washed his hands and turned to walk towards him.

He quickly handed the thing in his hand to Fu Jingrong.

After reading the letter, Fu Jingrong tore it into pieces and threw it into the basin where he had just washed his hands.

Upon seeing this, Yi Zhi immediately raised his hand and dismissed the people serving around him.

"Prince, should our people move now?"

Fu Jingrong glanced at the dark cloud in the sky that was gradually covering the sun.

"hold on."

Prince Yun is not in a hurry, so why should he be in a hurry?

Compared to Prince Yun's movements, Fu Jingrong now wants to know more about the actual situation on Su Sui'an's side.

He thought about it in his mind and asked the question quickly.

"How is the Su Mansion doing now?"

Yi Zhi seemed to have anticipated his question and blurted out without even thinking, "Miss Su has started to attack the servants of the Su Mansion. Our people are assisting in secret. I believe that we will be able to eliminate all of Prince Yun's men soon."
