I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

I wonder if it's better to say that no one knows a daughter better than her father?

Or should we say that this shallow water is indeed an old fox?

He observed his daughter's character and conduct, overheard the gossip on the street, and then thought about it... After the Emperor learned of this...

Shui Zeqian had already guessed that his illegitimate daughter was destined to be the principal wife for only two days in her life!

If she can regain her original position as a concubine after this... that would be a stroke of good fortune for her!

As for whether the final outcome will be as Shui Zeqian imagined, we'll have to wait and see what the Emperor's response will be to the morning court session tomorrow regarding the matter of the Prince Yi's residence collecting the bodies of the former Princess Yi's family today!

Another issue is the loss of valuables from Jiang Ciche's Second Assistant Minister's residence and Xiao Jingyi's Prince Yi's residence.

The case was reported, and Zheng Tong, the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, immediately led his men to the scene to investigate.

With the previous theft case at the Qinxing Marquis's residence as a precedent, neither Jiang Ciche, nor the people from the Yiwang Mansion, nor even Zheng Tong, the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, had any hope of solving the case and recovering the stolen goods!

To this day, not a single clue has been found in the earliest case of the theft of the Qinxing Marquis's mansion.

The only hope was that the thief had left a note—that all the valuables would be returned once Fu Baozhen's innocence was proven and her revenge was fulfilled!

As for when it will be returned...

Leng Rongyue, the sole owner of the stolen property, was not in a hurry and never asked a single question.

After the Qinxing Marquis's mansion was sealed off, Leng Rongyue moved directly into her maternal family's Anguo Duke's mansion, where she lived a secluded life and did not concern herself with worldly affairs.

Of course, Leng Rongyue's reclusive lifestyle is only what outsiders who are unaware of the situation think!

If Leng Rongyue truly lived a secluded life, detached from worldly affairs, then the loss of valuables from Jiang Ciche's Second Assistant Minister's residence and Xiao Jingyi's Prince Yi's residence would not have occurred!

All that Shuntian Prefect Zheng Tong knew was that Leng Rongyue, the only victim in the case of the theft at the Qinxing Marquis's residence, had not inquired about it.

Fu Yinglan, the Minister of Justice who was his superior and also the uncle of Leng Rongyue, the only victim, never questioned him about the case, nor did he sternly order him to solve the case within a time limit in the name of the Ministry of Justice!

As for the Emperor, he never mentioned this matter. He simply issued an imperial edict, bestowing upon Leng Rongyue the title of Princess Chengxian, changing the original Qinxing Marquis's Mansion into the Princess Chengxian Mansion, and then re-granting it to Leng Rongyue. The Princess Chengxian Mansion is currently under renovation.

If the current emperor's future daughter-in-law's property was stolen, and there's no rush to solve the case, what are the property thefts from Jiang Ciche's secondary minister's residence and Xiao Jingyi's Prince Yi's residence compared to that?

Moreover, Zheng Tong also received a message from Xiao Jingyu through someone—Jiang Ciche's Second Assistant Minister's residence... If he couldn't refuse, he could go there;

Prince Yi's Mansion... You can make any excuse to avoid it, the only rule is... Don't go there again!

Having made up his mind, Zheng Tong, the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, was not in a hurry at all!

Whether it's what's happening in the capital or at the Prince Yi's residence, Xiao Jingyu and Leng Rongyue are far away in Dongchang Prefecture and are unaware of the situation for the time being.

They couldn't be bothered to know.

The situation in Dongchang Prefecture is still a mess and needs to be cleaned up!

The brothers Xiao Jingye and Xiao Jingyu began discussing matters concerning Dongchang Prefecture.

Leng Rongyue did not want to participate in everything, nor did she want to express her opinions on everything, and she felt that there was no need to show her sharpness at all times.

Seeing that the Crown Princess Fang Haoqing was sitting quietly to the side and no longer interrupting, he simply pulled Fang Haoqing away, each with a small basket, and went to the back garden to pick fruit together.

As soon as Fang Haoqing stepped out of the back door of the small building, she saw the orchard in the backyard and exclaimed in surprise.

"My God!

smell good!

It smells of flowers and fruits!

Are all the things on the trees here and on the vines there fruits?

I've never seen it before!

It smells so good and looks so beautiful!

"Is this the celestial fruit eaten by immortals?"

Fang Haoqing stared at Leng Rongyue with her big, adorable eyes and round mouth, waiting for her answer.

Leng Rongyue couldn't help but chuckle.

"My sister-in-law said... these fruits are for the gods?"

Leng Rongyue blinked, a hint of slyness in her eyes, and asked Fang Haoqing.

Fang Haoqing nodded earnestly, "Yes! Isn't that right?"

"Of course... uh... no!"

Fang Haoqing thought Leng Rongyue would say "Of course," but to her surprise, Leng Rongyue deliberately took a deep breath and teased her, saying "Of course not!"

"Then this is..."

Fang Haoqing looked curiously at the various fruits in the garden that she couldn't name.

"Of course these are the fruits we eat!"

The Empress Dowager's sister-in-law was seeing this for the first time, which is why she found it so strange.

Actually, the Emperor and Empress have been eating these fresh fruits every day for the past few days!

"Really!"

Fang Haoqing's eyes were filled with envy.

"of course it's true!"

As Leng Rongyue spoke, she picked a cherry and fed it to Fang Haoqing's lips, "This is a red cherry, sister-in-law, have a taste!"

Fang Haoqing looked at the fruit being offered to her mouth, then at Leng Rongyue.

"Your Majesty, please eat with peace of mind. The air in this space is clean and there is no dust, so it doesn't matter whether you wash the fruit or not."

"Your Majesty, please try it!"
