If Jiang Yun was punished for such a small matter at this time, it would probably create a rift with King Chen An, especially since the prince was very fond of this man.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuning nodded and stopped asking questions, just waved her hand to signal Jiang Yun not to worry about it.

At this point, he had no intention of continuing to stroll around, so he went straight back to the yard.

Soon a servant reported that a visiting card from the prefect's wife had been delivered. Zhao Yuning had been unwilling to get involved in Song Yue's case because of Jing Chen.

Therefore, I always declined Ling Chu's invitations whenever I could, but today I didn't want to refuse anymore and started thinking about going out to take a look.

On the next day, Zhao Yuning dressed up and went to Luo Mansion.

In addition to several ladies from aristocratic families, Song Yue also came. She seemed to have lost some weight and sat next to Ling Chu, being extremely cautious.

The banquet began, and there was, needless to say, exquisite food and snacks on the table.

Several ladies and young ladies were chatting and laughing, discussing interesting things in their families.

The banquet lasted for an hour and by the time the meal was almost over, some people had already left.

Ling Chu invited Zhao Yu Ning into the inner room for a detailed discussion, and Song Yue was naturally there too.

Lingchu and Zhao Yuning talked about some interesting things about their children. When they talked about their children, they couldn't help laughing and the atmosphere became lively.

As she was talking, Song Yue started to cry softly. Zhao Yu Ning understood and asked,

"Sister Yue'er, what happened? You are crying so sadly."

Song Yue just shook her head without saying anything, and cried even more aggrievedly.

Ling Chu comforted her softly for a while, and then Song Yue wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Her tone was filled with envy, "I just envy my two sisters that their lovers finally get married and have children, unlike me, wuwuwu."

As he spoke, he began to cry again, and talked about his sufferings intermittently.

"My Lady Princess, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I have admired my cousin since I was young. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts. After he got married and had children, I have been silently waiting for him."

"More than a year ago, my cousin's wife was persecuted and died after giving birth to a child at the risk of her life."

"I treat my children as if they were my own, taking care of everything myself, and I am happy to wait until they are 20 years old."

"I thought my cousin's wife would be able to take care of my cousin and the children wholeheartedly after the three-year mourning period was over. I never thought... woo woo woo."

Seeing her crying so sadly, as if she was too sad to speak, Ling Chu continued,

"Your Highness Princess, you may not know that the person Sister Yue'er is talking about is my brother Ling Yun."

"Everyone in my Ling family only recognizes Song Yue as the young mistress, but she met a vixen a few years ago, who seduced her into abandoning her family and career, and even disregarding her parents and children."

"I just played along with that male fox. This matter is a family shame and I shouldn't have told the princess about it."

"It's just that my brother is now living in the palace, and he brought that male fox with him. I'm afraid it will ruin the reputation of the palace, so I invited the princess to come."

Zhao Yuning thought that this was a pawn being used as a weapon, but she couldn't help but feel curious.

"I have seen Ling Yun before. He is handsome and modest. How could he do such a ridiculous thing? I wonder who he is talking about?"

Ling Chu gritted his teeth and pronounced two words, "Jiang Yun."

Zhao Yu Ning was startled and tried her best to suppress her unnaturalness, but was still caught by Song Yue.

Song Yue thought that she couldn't tell anyone about the truth about Jiang Yun, otherwise it would affect her image and make it inconvenient for her to act in the future.

Just staring at Ling Chu, Ling Chu didn't think much and said directly,

"My bastard brother randomly paired sister Yue'er with someone else just to please Jiang Yun."

"He has done so many ridiculous things for Jiang Yun. Today, we only ask the princess to make the decision for us."

Based on Zhao Yuning's understanding of Ling Chu, she doesn't need others to stand up for her. She has always been open and assertive. Today, she is not hesitating to expose her family's dirty laundry. I guess she really has no other choice.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuning gently supported Ling Chu's hand and said in a serious tone, "I wonder what I need to do?"

Ling Chu sat back down and took a deep breath.

"My Lady Princess, my parents will arrive in Yangzhou the day after tomorrow. I will persuade them to ask those two to move out of the palace. I only ask you to persuade the prince not to stop them."

Zhao Yuning's expression changed slightly, "Madam, why do you think the prince will stop them from leaving?"

Seeing that Zhao Yu Ning really seemed to be unaware of the situation, Ling Chu looked around and lowered his voice and said,

"There are only three of us in the room. I am always straightforward. If you don't believe what I'm going to say next, you can just treat it as a joke."

Seeing Zhao Yuning nod, Ling Chu continued,

"This is not the first time that Jiang Yun has come to Yangzhou. A few months ago, he used only a wooden sign to make the young master of the mansion obey his orders and hang out with him all day."

"My cousin's parents are worried that their son will go astray, so they ask for help, Your Highness."

"As a result, Jiang Yun disappeared inexplicably, and my disappointing brother came to me and even asked for troops to search the city."

"After I kicked him out, he asked my cousin for help, and my cousin immediately sent people to search."

"Princess, guess where the person was finally found?"

Without waiting for Zhao Yuning to answer, Ling Chu answered on his own.

"Jiang Yun ran out of Chenxing Courtyard in disheveled clothes. There were quite a lot of people present that day."

"The palace tried its best to cover up this matter and sold out many servants, but if we investigate carefully, we can still find out."

"I just don't know what method Jiang Yun used to make my stupid brother willingly become a cuckold."

Zhao Yuning clenched her hands tightly under her wide sleeves, her nails digging deep into her palms. She tried her best to control her emotions.

"Madam, I will not interfere with the affairs of the prince's friends. If they insist on leaving, I will not stop them."

"I am tired, I will go back home first."

Ling Chu and Song Yue knew that the matter was settled, so they did not try to keep Zhao Yuning any longer and respectfully escorted her out of the house.

Song Yue was very happy and helped Ling Chu back to the room. As soon as she closed the door, Ling Chu spoke.

"Sister Yue'er, what's the news about the people we sent to keep an eye on them?"

Song Yue smiled and changed a cup of hot tea for Ling Chu, picking out words that were unfavorable to Jiang Yun.

"Big sister, Brother Yun has been busy outside recently and has not stayed in the palace for long."

"On the contrary, Jiang Yun has been hanging out with the prince and Master Xiao all day long. She is so happy."

"Humph."

Ling Chu threw the teacup and said angrily, "This Jiang Yun is really a slutty fox. She seduces any man she can find. I'll have to punish him sooner or later, hmph."

Song Yue rolled her eyes and nodded in agreement.

"If Brother Yun continues to be with him, it will definitely affect his career."

Seeing that Ling Chu was really listening seriously, Song Yue continued,

"Brother Yun originally took over the business in the mansion, and he also held an official position, so his future was limitless."

"Ever since I met Jiang Yun, I've either been accompanying him to eat, drink and have fun, or traveling around, with no time for serious work."

"Not only did he abandon the business in the mansion, he even ignored his elderly and children."

"Besides, who is the prince? How dare he provoke him? If one day the prince attacks Brother Yun and suppresses the Ling family in order to compete for him, I'm afraid..."

After saying that, Song Yue seemed to be frightened and grabbed Ling Chu's hand, "Big sister, if this is true, what should we do?"

Ling Chu was shocked by her analysis and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.

Considering how much Ling Yun likes Jiang Yun now, he will definitely do something ridiculous.

"No, we must not let him continue. Sister Yue'er, you are always smart. Do you have any good ideas?"

The more Ling Chu thought about it, the more shocked he became, and he held her hand back.

Song Yue suppressed the malice in her eyes and forced a smile.

"Big sister, when my uncle, aunt, and the children come, I will persuade Brother Yun to separate from Jiang Yun."

"If it still doesn't work, in order to avoid future problems, we can only secretly send someone to send Jiang Yun away."

"If you can't find someone for a long time, the feelings will gradually fade. Wait for two or three years, Brother Yun will definitely get better."
