When the sun was about to set, the decision was made in the hall regarding the inspectors who would be sent to various places.

After the court was dismissed, the civil and military officials watched the emperor and the dukes leave in a hurry. Everyone knew what was going on.

Madam Yipin went to the teahouse today to attend the appointment with Princess Yunning, but I don't know how it will go!

However, everyone is worried about the first-rank lady of their country. Even though they know that she is a powerful and aggressive person, they are still a little worried. After all, she is a princess, even if she is a princess from another country!

If the princess insults the First Rank Lady, then she is actually insulting the entire Yan State! This is intolerable!

A princess from a defeated country, who came to present a letter of surrender, what is so arrogant about this?

When Xue Wenyu, Brother Hui and Old Man Tao were almost outside the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, they saw a man walking briskly into the palace gate. It turned out to be Tong Yunsheng.

So urgent, what's wrong?

E-heart

Xue Wenyu and his companions were startled and quickened their pace to chase after him, only to see Tong Yunsheng enter the kitchen.

"What's wrong? Did she cause trouble at the teahouse? Or did something happen to the shopkeeper who went to collect the debt?" Mu Yingbao, who was preparing ingredients for dinner inside, felt nervous when he saw Tong Yunsheng's expression.

She felt that today's events went smoothly, but the only thing that worried her was whether the people at the teahouse would be implicated by her and cause the princess to vent her anger on them.

Tong Yunsheng shook his head. "Madam, everything is fine at the teahouse. The shopkeeper got the money and returned to the teahouse safely. I arranged people around the teahouse according to Madam's instructions. I was watching near the official post station. The delegation just hired a carriage and went straight to Xilingzi after leaving the city.

The subordinates followed them and saw that they had dug a hole in the woods and buried something.

After they left, the subordinates went over to dig it up and found a person inside.

It was a woman. I identified her and found that she was the maid who came to the teahouse to deliver the message today. Her body was covered with whip marks and the bruises on her neck looked like marks from being strangled.

I did not dare to bring her back rashly, so I placed her outside the city and came back to ask the lady what she thought.

"If you think her life is not in danger, find a doctor to see her. If her injuries are serious, I will go with you. I think the girl is fine. No matter what, I have implicated her. She is a poor person. There is no need to bring her back. If the princess knew that she was still alive, it would be troublesome.

She couldn't question her, after all, the girl was originally her maid.

How about this, you take charge of arranging and handling this matter. Ask the girl what she thinks. If she wants to return home, give her money for travel expenses. If she doesn't want to return, arrange a safe place for her."

Tong Yunsheng responded and walked out, meeting Xue Wenyu and his three uncles.

"Master, the Madam has told me to..." Tong Yunsheng wanted to report to the master, but the master waved his hand, "Why don't you go now?"

Tong Yunsheng then left quickly. It seemed that his decision not to bury the woman back into the pit today was the right one.

The lady is kind-hearted. She will help anyone she likes, even if they are enemies.

"You're back. Have you solved the problem?" Mu Yingbao asked with a smile when she saw the three people, old and young, come in. She knew what problem they were going to solve today.

For Mu Yingbao, they were doing serious work, and going out today would be completely boring and nonsense.

"Dad, it looks like Mom has won a great victory today." When Brother Hui saw his mother's expression, he felt relieved and turned to joke with his father.

Xue Wenyu smiled; "Who has your mother ever been afraid of?"

"Girl, tell me quickly, what happened today? Didn't they say that the princess didn't go at all and left you in the teahouse?" Old man Tao was very anxious to hear what happened.

"So you three came back in such a hurry just to hear gossip, Yadan, tell them. I still have to make dinner." Mu Yingbao handed the matter over to Yasheng, who was still very excited.

When Yadan heard this, she immediately walked forward excitedly and rehearsed what had happened today. She had already rehearsed it with Dongzhu and the others before, and now she could repeat it more smoothly.

Nanzhu made tea for the three people, young and old, and served it to them.

Shitou was standing by the stove, burning a fire while watching Yadan passing by with a beaming smile on his face.

Everyone says Yadanhu is super cute, but Shitou thinks she is prettier and cuter than Dongzhu and the others.

"Puff." When Yadan said that Mu Yingbao came back and brought back a tea pillow made of top-grade sparrow tongue for each of the three of them, Xue Wenyu and Old Man Tao, who had just taken a sip of the fragrant tea, both spat it out.

The two of them were sitting opposite each other, and if they didn't react quickly, they would spray each other.

"What? Two thousand four hundred taels for a tea pillow? Three?" Old Man Tao couldn't believe it.

Yadan nodded; "Yes, yours has been placed on your bed. Madam asked you to try it. If it is too strong, just take it apart and take out a little bit."

Xue Wenyu didn't ask. Although it sounded exaggerated, this was indeed something his wife could do.

"Mother, I have received a secret report that the silver that the princess brought with her when she came here doesn't seem to be much anymore. Now, I have lost tens of thousands of taels of silver in half a day.

I guess she will have sleepless nights tonight and regret it so much." Brother Hui laughed even more happily.

Those who want to bully their mother deserve it and do not deserve any sympathy at all.

Mu Yingbao had noticed a long time ago that when the people around him talked about Princess Ziyun, most of the time they referred to her as "that princess" without mentioning the word Ziyun.

The nobles of Yunning Country were not respected at all in the eyes of the people of Yan Country.

"You guys sit down first. When the food is ready, ask someone to call me." After hearing the whole story, Old Man Tao stood up and walked out.

"Great-grandfather, where are you going?" Brother Hui asked in confusion.

Old man Tao turned around and smiled, "Of course I'm going to go back to my room and lie down for a while. I'm old, but I've never used a pillow that costs more than twenty taels of silver." After saying that, he went out with a smile.

"By the way, I want to ask you two, after hearing what happened, don't you think that what I did would affect the reputation of Yan Kingdom and cause you to lose face?" Mu Yingbao finished cutting the chicken pieces and turned to ask the father and son.

The father and son shook their heads in unison, and the son spoke first: "Mother, father, and I just feel refreshed."

"The people who feel that their country's reputation has been affected and they have lost face should be those from the Yunning delegation," Xue Wenyu said.

The daughter-in-law did not suffer any loss. Although she had never met the princess, she was severely taught a lesson. Xue Wenyu's anger towards the princess suddenly subsided a little.

The family of four had a very happy dinner. After the meal, Brother Hui predicted that the Yunning Kingdom delegation might come to say goodbye to him tomorrow.

Brother Hui feels very smart, but the possibility of his prediction is somewhat biased.

The next day, as soon as the court was in session, someone reported that the old prince of the Yunning Kingdom delegation urgently requested to be summoned.
