Quick Wear: The White-Eyed Wolf Punishment Plan

Chapter 41: The Marquis wants to favor his concubine and kill his wife? He is courting death! (21)

On the wedding day of Wei Yun and Princess Taining, the ten miles of red makeup made all the young ladies from noble families in the capital city envious. For at least the next five years, whenever these young ladies mentioned their wedding, they would think of the beauty of Taining.

When paying respects to the parents, Yan Siqing was watching from the side, but was pulled to the seat of honor by Wei Yun and Tai Ning.

Yan Siqing wanted to decline. Why on earth were Yang Ying and the other elders trying to steal the limelight?

But before he could stand up, he was pinned down by three hands.

Wei Yun: "Sister-in-law! If you hadn't taught me all these years together with my mother, I'm afraid Yun'er wouldn't have achieved what she has today. If you hadn't intervened, Yun'er would never have escaped the case of the Minister of Agriculture, and might have died in a foreign land!"

Taining: "Yes, sister-in-law, you deserve it. Over the years, you have taught Taining a lot of knowledge. You are a teacher and an elder sister. Please don't refuse."

Yang Ying was much more direct, "You don't accept this greeting, are you afraid that Yun'er will use this favor to offset the dowry you paid for the case of the Minister of Agriculture?"

Yan Siqing raised his eyebrows, "It's not impossible."

This made everyone laugh and the atmosphere reached a climax again.

After that, there were some complicated formalities. Wei Yun was afraid that Taining would be tired, so he skipped a lot of them.

Looking at the guests toasting each other, Yan Siqing stood in the distance, watching quietly.

Just as he was about to leave, someone stopped him.

"Ma'am, stay!"

Yan Siqing turned around and bowed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Chengze smiled gently, "Madam is a first-rank imperial concubine conferred by my father himself, so there is no need for you to bow to me."

Yan Siqing: "Why did His Royal Highness call me?"

Xiao Chengze asked tentatively, "I wonder if Madam has heard any rumors recently?"

"Hmm? Si Qing is confused, please explain clearly, Your Highness."

Xiao Chengze: "There have been a lot of rumors in the capital recently, saying that someone saw Marquis Chang'an outside the city, and also the concubine's daughter of Yan Zhubo, Yan Ruyan."

When Yan Yizhong was the county magistrate, he offended many powerful people and was demoted to the ninth rank clerk. He was also reported for dereliction of duty and received forty lashes with the cane.

To this day, Yan Yizhong still walks with a limp, and he may be left with a lifelong disability.

This was undoubtedly a fatal humiliation for Yan Yizhong, who already cared a lot about his reputation and fame.

But since he had neither the status of a minister nor any money, there was no possibility of receiving treatment.

The words come to the present.

Seeing Yan Siqing's calm attitude upon hearing this, Xiao Chengze was surprised, "Aren't you surprised?"

"Should I still be surprised today? Your Highness, although Si Qing is just a woman, she is not a fool. There are always rumors about the Marquis in the capital every once in a while. The only thing that can support these rumors is that these people may really know his whereabouts..."

When he spoke of the latter part, tears flashed in Yan Siqing's eyes, "If Siqing had known that the Marquis and my sister were in love, she would definitely help them and would never force them to do this..."

"You are actually speaking for them!" The prince suddenly raised his voice, and then thought that the person on the other side was just a passive victim, so he had to persuade him.

"Si Qing, you are so confused! Do you think this is just an emotional entanglement between the three of you? Do you know at what critical moment Wei Rongxiu faked his death? If the emperor wants to investigate, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Yan Siqing also looked anxious, "Then, Your Highness, what should we do? Does my mansion have to pay the price for this?"

Seeing this, Xiao Chengze sighed, "Since it was his fault alone, it will not implicate you. Don't worry, this prince will take care of this matter and let you and Taining stay in the Marquis' Mansion peacefully."

"Si Qing thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Why thank you? You and Yang Ying have managed the Marquis' Mansion very well. Everyone has witnessed the contributions the Marquis' Mansion has made to the court over the years. I will never let you down."

As he said this, Xiao Chengze looked at his third younger brother who was waiting in the distance, and made a decision in his heart - he must not let a person who should have died tarnish the glory of the Marquis' Mansion!

It would be better for Wei Rongxiu to resolve the issue as soon as possible, along with the person who knew about it...

After watching Yan Siqing return to the yard, Xiao Chengze was still standing there. Xiao Jinghe walked over and crossed his arms in dissatisfaction.

"Brother, do you still believe her? In the case of the Minister of Agriculture, her mind and scheming should not be underestimated. She was just pretending in front of you just now!"

Xiao Chengze held his forehead helplessly: "Jinghe, is your brother really that stupid in your heart?"

Xiao Jinghe: "Then why did you just..."

Xiao Chengze: "Whether Si Qing is innocent or scheming, it is undeniable that she and Madam Yang Ying have trained General Wei Yun over the years, and even used all of her dowry to help the soldiers at the border."

"Jinghe, don't delve too deeply into some things. After all, Siqing and we have the same goal, which is to stabilize the court and keep the people safe. Isn't that enough?"

"Besides, people like Wei Rongxiu really deserve to die!"

Seeing that his brother's tone had changed, Jinghe quickly restrained his temper and said, "Brother, tell me what to do."

Xiao Chengze: "Since he is a man who deserves to die, send him to where he should be."

"Yes!"

Yan Siqing used his divine power and naturally heard these words.

Yan Siqing understood that everyone knew about this matter, but they still had to maintain calm on the surface.

He shook his head helplessly, then held the little fox in one hand and used his divine power with the other to hide his trace.
