But he also knew clearly that they were not quarreling because of the lanterns. The two of them had been holding a grudge against each other for a long time, and they had to find a time to resolve the problem.

General Xiao held his forehead with his hand and said, "Helin, you handle it. I'm tired."

Xiao Helin was given a mission in a critical moment and suddenly became nervous.

"This matter... is all wrong."

Before he finished speaking, dissatisfied voices appeared immediately.

Xiao Yunzheng: "What did I do wrong? I was the first one to see the lantern. All the things in the mansion are mine. What's wrong with me taking back my things?"

Wang Yuejiao: "I am not wrong! I got the lantern first. Why did she take my things? Isn't she just relying on the fact that she is the third lady of the Xiao Mansion?"

Nian Susu: "Me? I was wrong too? I went to break up the fight, she punched me, I punched her back, it's fair, what did I do wrong?"

The three of them straightened their backs and argued with him.

Xiao Helin was in a dilemma.

Wang Yuejiao felt that he was protecting Xiao Yunzheng and was immediately dissatisfied. The grievances that had been pent up in her heart burst out at once, "You Xiao family members only know how to bully me! I want a divorce! I want to go home! Wuuuuuu... I can't stay here any longer!"

Xiao Helin felt dizzy and dazed. He had heard such words so many times that his ears were callused. Wang Yuejiao always wanted to divorce and go back to her parents' home.

Xiao Yunzheng had been unhappy for a long time, and she started to cry like Wang Yuejiao, "This is so unfair! The sister-in-law is bullying the younger sister-in-law! I'm going to ask my brother to divorce you! You shrew... "

Nian Su Su was dumbfounded.

Xiao Helin held his forehead with his hand.

The helpless actions of the father and son were exactly the same.

Everyone had their own excuses, and they were all equally unreasonable. Xiao Helin really didn't know how to deal with it.

When the stalemate reached a deadlock, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a servant ran in, looking like he was about to face a disaster. He bowed and said to General Xiao, "Master, the Crown Prince is here!"

He cautiously glanced at the dusty Nian Susu and said, "He said... he came to look for Miss Nian."

Several people looked at Nian Susu.

Nian Susu was confused. Everyone's expressions made it seem as if she was prepared, but she really had not communicated with Qin Junyu in advance. Moreover, she didn't know that Xiao Yunzheng and Wang Yuejiao would fight, and she didn't expect that she would be injured by mistake.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Junyu had already arrived at the front hall.

General Xiao and Xiao Helin hurriedly stood up to greet the guest. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qin Junyu was invited to sit down.

The three people below lowered their heads even lower, especially Nian Susu.

Although I knew Qin Junyu would not blame me, I still felt guilty for some reason.

Xiao Helin briefly recounted the events, and then said with a sigh of relief: "Your Highness has come at the right time. Why don't you decide how to deal with these three people?"

After throwing the hot potato away, Xiao Helin's smile became more sincere.

Qin Junyu said "hmm" lightly.

He clasped his hands together and placed them on his knees, examining the three people with a calm attitude, "Does it hurt?"

The three of them raised their heads together.

Xiao Yunzheng consciously looked away, knowing full well that he was not asking about her, and Wang Yuejiao also subconsciously looked in the direction of Nian Susu after raising her head.

Seeing her gray little face and the tip of her nose red from the cold, Qin Junyu's cool and aloof personality, which he had managed to maintain for just a moment, completely collapsed.

He sighed helplessly and dotingly, stood up, walked in front of her, leaned over, and put his palm in front of her.

Nian Susu hesitated for a second, then held his hand and stood up.

The warm cloak wrapped her up, and the tip of her nose was itchy from the fur.

"Your Highness..."

Qin Junyu did not respond to her probing gaze, but looked at Wang Yuejiao coldly and said in a deep voice: "Miss Wang, apologize to the Crown Princess."

Wang Yuejiao was stunned and opened her mouth in surprise, "I..."

Realizing that the person in front of her was Qin Junyu, a cold-blooded superior, she suppressed her temper and said, "Your Highness, you haven't gotten married yet, and Miss Nian is not yet the Crown Princess. I did nothing wrong, and there is no need to apologize to her."

"If I say she is, then she is." Qin Junyu's voice became even colder, more biting than the snow outside.

Xiao Yunzheng shuddered.

General Xiao and Xiao Helin did not dare to intervene, so he was the only one who could scare the spoiled Wang Yuejiao.

"Apologize." Qin Junyu looked at Wang Yuejiao as if she were trash. "This is the last time I will say this."

Wang Yuejiao was frightened and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry... Nian..." She fell silent and hurriedly changed the topic: "I'm sorry, Crown Princess."

Nian Susu was not used to this address yet. He shrank behind Qin Junyu and stuck his head out with a strange look in his eyes.

Qin Junyu ignored everyone else, took Nian Susu into his arms, said hello to General Xiao, and left.

Leaving a mess for Xiao Helin to clean up.

When Xiao Helin reacted, the two figures had already gone into the distance.

Since both of them were at fault and it was New Year's Day, Xiao Helin did not put them in solitary confinement, but only fined them one month's salary.

Xiao Yunzheng was very satisfied with this treatment. As long as she was not implicated, everything else would be fine.

Wang Yuejiao looked dissatisfied and went back to her room with a gloomy face.

"Second brother, I am blessed to have you." Xiao Yunzheng patted Xiao Helin on the shoulder.

-

Wang Yuejiao returned to her room angrily. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Whenever she thought of Xiao Yunzheng's smug smile, her chest ached.

Nian Susu is protected by Qin Junyu, Xiao Yunzheng has her good father and good brother, but she has nothing.

Wang Yuejiao sat on the bed, tears falling. After struggling for a while, she stood up decisively and packed her bag.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Most of the servants in the mansion have asked for leave to go home and reunite with their families. The small number of people who stayed behind have all been lazy.

She carried the small package and easily slipped out of the Xiao Mansion.

On the way back to the palace, her steps were so heavy, but her heart felt free and happy.

The closer she got to home, the more aggrieved she felt and the more she cried. In the last few steps, she almost ran into the house.

The guard at the gate saw her and wanted to stop her but didn't dare to. He just stood there in shock.

Wang Jizhong happily put on his new clothes and was about to go out to have a drink with his colleagues, but unexpectedly he ran into Wang Yuejiao.

"Dad!" Wang Yuejiao cried breathlessly.

Wang Jizhong was surprised and distressed, and quickly took his daughter into his arms.

The father and daughter haven't seen each other for half a year. Today is New Year's Day, a day for family reunion. Wang Jizhong didn't say anything, but tears came to his eyes first.

Wang Yuejiao cried loudly and finally suppressed her emotions with the comfort of her father. But when Wang Jizhong asked her why she ran home crying, her tears could not be stopped again.

Wang Yuejiao sobbed and expressed her grievances.

After hearing this, Wang Jizhong became angry, anxious, annoyed and furious. He dragged his daughter into the palace without saying a word and asked the emperor to make the decision.

"Dad, will the emperor really help us?" Wang Yuejiao hesitated.
