Quick Wear: My love-brained childhood sweetheart always asks me for a kiss

Chapter 311: The Gloomy Regent vs. the Fake Gold Spy (8)

"Shut up!" Duke Wei said angrily, "What a great prince! You dare to do something but not take the responsibility. Of course you are great!"

"I knew something was wrong. Our Xiaoxiao is usually the most docile and quiet, how could she do such a foolish thing in the palace. Someone must have instigated this." Lady Weiguogong hurried forward to help her daughter up, "You silly girl, you actually want to help him conceal it?"

Today, the feud with the Prince of Beijun’s Palace is settled.

But even so, it is better than their daughter being ruined.

The Princess of Beijun was so angry that her face turned pale. "What does Madam Wei Guogong mean by this?"

But the wife of Duke Wei ignored her and wailed to herself, "My poor daughter, your love is wasted..."

"Wei Xiaoxiao, I didn't realize you were so good at pretending. Why don't you become an actor?!" An Fengjun was extremely angry. Even if he spoke for the Regent Princess, so what?

Who among those present could be more powerful than the Regent? Who dared to refute what the princess said?

Moreover, Wei Xiaoxiao had bullied Ye Shuyi a lot. This time, he was taken away by the Dali Temple and would be released after a few days at most. She usually said how much she loved him and liked him, but now she was willing to lie to get away with it and push him out to take the blame.

The Dali Temple Minister was confused. He glanced cautiously in the direction of Song Shiyan and said, "Your Highness, look at this..."

But Song Shiyan's gaze was fixed on Chi Tingwan, "What do you think, Princess?"

Chi Tingwan waved the round fan in his hand calmly, "At present, the two of them have different opinions. Why not take them back together for investigation?"

"What the princess said makes sense." Song Shiyan said with a smile, "Sir Zheng, I'll trouble you to investigate it carefully."

Lord Zheng greeted him with fear and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is all my duty."

Madam Wei was embarrassed. Why did she still want to take her daughter away? If this got out, how would Xiaoxiao live in the future?

Wei Xiaoxiao had expected this result. She hugged her mother aggrievedly and said, "It's okay, mother. Although it was Prince An who instigated the matter, I did something wrong after all. I would like to ask father and mother to pay more attention to Miss Ye and give her all the compensation that can be given. Alas, I hope this can make up for it a little."

At this point, Wei Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red again, "I don't dare to ask for Miss Ye's forgiveness..." She couldn't help sobbing, "I was so stupid, how could I listen to An Shizi and do such a thing to her..."

"Well done, Wei Xiaoxiao, you really have the potential to join a drama troupe."

Soon Wei Xiaoxiao and An Fengjun were taken away by the Dali Temple. Lord Zheng was happy to give face to the Prince of Beijun and Duke of Wei. So when they were escorted, they were not made public and were kept very low-key.

But the incident happened in the Beijun Prince's Mansion, and there were many guests coming and going in the mansion, and they all saw it. So it was easy for the incident to spread.

The princes of the mansion had all been captured, so the Beijun Palace naturally had no intention of continuing the banquet. The others were also sensible people, and soon they all stood up and said goodbye.

The banquet ended at 6:15 pm, but the news about Wei Xiaoxiao and An Fengjun entering the Dali Temple spread at 1:15 pm.

6:15 pm: equivalent to 2:30 pm now.

The first quarter of the afternoon: equivalent to 3:15 in the afternoon now.

"The Duke's daughter and the Northern Prince's son were arrested? Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. It's all over the place."

"I heard that the Dali Temple Minister personally went to the Northern Prince's Mansion to arrest them. After all, they are the children of important officials, and ordinary people can't control them."

"I heard that the Regent also went to the Beijun Palace for a banquet today. He invited the people from the Dali Temple."

"So it was the Regent who came forward, no wonder..."

Doukou heard Chi Tingwan talking about it when she went out to buy milk cake for him. After returning home, she began to describe it to Chi Tingwan in a vivid way.

"The news spread quickly." Chi Tingwan pinched a piece of milk cake, "This time, the feud between the Prince of Beijun's Mansion and the Duke of Wei's Mansion has finally been settled."

"That's right. We didn't become relatives, but enemies."

"Miss, tomorrow is the day to return to the parents' home. Shouldn't we prepare?" The rule in Nanyue is to return to the parents' home every three days, but the Prime Minister was sent out by the Emperor to provide disaster relief the day after the wedding of the young lady and the Regent. The Emperor appointed him, and the Regent did not object.

The eldest princess and the old lady have both passed away. There is no one in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is nothing to go back to.

But Chi Mingyu came back tonight. Although the date of his return was postponed, this custom could not be avoided.

"Just watch and prepare."

Chi Mingyu didn't really love the original owner at all. The reason he did all those superficial efforts was simply because he felt that his daughter could bring benefits to him.

He knew that the world always belonged to the emperor, and no matter how powerful the regent was, he had to submit to the emperor. Moreover, the emperor would rule the country sooner or later.

So he has always stood on Song Xuanchu's side.

He was very supportive of his daughter marrying the regent. If the emperor succeeded, his daughter would still be the queen after the regent divorced. If the emperor failed, the regent was still his son-in-law after all, and he, as the father-in-law, could still benefit from it.

The two-hand plan is well done.

In the original plot, the original owner's identity was exposed, and Song Xuanchu fell in love with "Ye Shuyi".

Chi Mingyu was even happier. His two daughters had controlled two men respectively, and he could only smile and remain in a high position.

After realizing that Song Xuanchu had a better chance of winning, he decisively changed his attitude and severed ties with the original owner. He only said one sentence: "You are not my daughter anyway, so stop trying to get close to me."

It’s a pity that “Ye Shuyi” did not help him achieve his wish in the end.

*

The next day was a day off, so Chi Mingyu dressed up early in the morning and asked his servants to keep an eye on the door. When he learned that the carriage of the Regent's Palace was approaching, he decisively went out to greet it in person.

Song Shiyan got off the car first and then extended his hand to the people in the carriage.

Seeing Chi Tingwan riding in Song Shiyan's carriage, Chi Mingyu smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.

As expected of Chi Mingyu's daughter, she was able to control the most difficult regent so quickly.

There were many people outside watching the fun.

"The relationship between the Prince Regent and the Princess seems to be quite good."

"That's right. Didn't they say that the Princess Regent married the Prince Regent unwillingly? It doesn't seem like she was unwilling at all."

"It seems to be a rumor..."

At the same time, in the imperial study room——

Song Xuanchu was reading the memorial that Song Shiyan had just sent over. "Wanwan has returned to the Prime Minister's residence?"

"This time should have arrived."

"I, the Imperial Uncle, have always disliked Prime Minister Chi. I wonder if he is willing to respectfully call me father-in-law when he sees me."

"This... The Regent has always been arrogant. Maybe he would call her for Miss Chi's sake, but this respect..."

"It would be interesting if he didn't take Chi Mingyu seriously." Song Xuanchu's eyes were full of smiles, "Wanwan has always respected her father the most. If he doesn't do well, I'm afraid Wanwan will turn against him right on the spot."

But the facts proved that Song Xuanchu was wrong.

Song Shiyan's attitude towards Chi Mingyu could not really be described as enthusiastic.

After noticing his indifference, Chi Mingyu was quite dissatisfied. Even the emperor would be courteous to him when he saw him. Song Shiyan relied on his position as the regent and actually ignored him, his father-in-law.

No wonder Wanwan had always looked down on him before.

He will have to have a good talk with Wanwan later.

Chi Tingwan saw everything, but she didn't react. "What dishes have you prepared today?"

Chi Mingyu smiled and said, "Of course I've prepared your favorite food."

During the meal, Song Shiyan was using serving chopsticks to help Chi Tingwan serve the dishes.

Chi Mingyu said that these were all Chi Tingwan's favorite dishes, but there were only two or three dishes on the table that met her preferences. The rest were all Chi Mingyu's favorites.

The funniest thing is that there are crabs on the table. "Father-in-law likes crab meat?"

"It's Wanwan who likes it." Chi Mingyu felt a little guilty. He really liked it, and he had eaten three in a row. But even if it was obvious, Song Shiyan shouldn't have exposed him so openly.

"Really?" Song Shiyan laughed immediately, "But I remember that Wanwan seemed to be unable to eat crab meat." This was the first time Song Shiyan called her by her nickname.

Chi Mingyu was stunned. The cooks in the kitchen all had different responsibilities. Originally, Aunt Sun in the kitchen knew Chi Tingwan's taste best, but she was not at home these days because she was arranging her son's wedding.

Moreover, when Chi Tingwan left, she took a few people from the kitchen with her as a dowry. Those people are now gathered in the Regent's Palace.

Nowadays, the kitchen is mostly full of strangers. Even if there are elderly people, they are all those who are responsible for Chi Mingyu's meals.

So Chi Mingyu is in charge of today's menu.

He created a menu based on the most popular dishes in restaurants at the time, and also added many of his favorite dishes to it.

I thought God would not know...

But who would have thought that there was something mixed in that that Chi Tingwan couldn't eat.

"Yes, Dad. I can't touch crab meat, or I will get a rash on my body. Have you forgotten?" Chi Tingwan's eyes were full of sadness.

Chi Mingyu smiled awkwardly, "Look at my memory. I got your and your mother's preferences mixed up. Now I remember, it's the princess who likes crab meat."

Chi Tingwan couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Dad, you remembered it wrongly, right? My mother doesn't like seafood, especially crabs."

Chi Mingyu clenched the chopsticks in his hand. It's fine if the Regent is trying to sabotage me, but you actually want to get involved!

"Look at Dad's memory, it's getting worse and worse..." Chi Mingyu couldn't even smile.

"I guess it's because one of dad's new concubines likes to eat crab meat, so he blames mom and me. If my mom knew what dad said in the afterlife, she would be so sad..." There was obvious disappointment in Chi Tingwan's eyes.

Chi Mingyu lowered his head guiltily, "Dad is old, it's Dad's fault."

"Dad said that all the dishes prepared today are my favorites, but there are obviously not many dishes that I like. It seems that Dad has long forgotten my preferences." Chi Tingwan sighed and put down his chopsticks. "But it's true, they say that a daughter who is married is like spilled water. I'm already married, so Dad naturally has no room for me in his heart."

Chi Tingwan lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his eyes with his close-fitting handkerchief.

"It's okay. I'll ask people to prepare your favorite food at the palace. Go back and eat more." Song Shiyan held Chi Tingwan's hand and said softly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Chi Mingyu's face turned red with embarrassment. After his daughter came home, she found that the food at home was not to her liking, so she wanted to go back to her husband's house to fill her stomach. If such a thing were to be spread out, he would not know what would be said about him.

"It's all Dad's fault. I'll ask the kitchen staff to redo it right away!"

"My father-in-law usually has a beautiful wife in his arms, but I'm afraid he can't even remember the preferences of himself and his concubine. Fortunately, Wanwan has married me, so from now on, my father-in-law won't have to worry about her food, clothing, and expenses."

Chi Mingyu was completely speechless.

Chi Tingwan and Song Shiyan were both wiping their mouths with handkerchiefs, obviously not ready to eat anymore.

"Wanwan, come with daddy."

After arriving at the study, Chi Mingyu's face suddenly changed, "Wanwan, Dad knows that Dad didn't pay enough attention and forgot that you can't touch crab meat. But there are hundreds of people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Dad has to take care of them all. Dad is also busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, so it is understandable that he can't remember it for a while."

"Yes, there are hundreds of people in the mansion. Dad's backyard alone can occupy half of it. What the prince said makes sense. Dad is busy with love affairs every day, so it's normal that he can't remember clearly."

Chi Mingyu's face suddenly turned cold. "Are you complaining that Dad has too many women? You are a married woman, and you are still meddling in your father's backyard affairs? Even when your mother was still alive, she never stopped me from taking concubines!"

"How can a daughter care about these things? Besides, it's not that my mother didn't care at first, but she just saw through it later."

"You!" Chi Mingyu was so angry that his breathing was rapid. "Wanwan...are you still resentful that Dad married you to the Regent? Dad can't do anything. That was the will of the late emperor. Even the emperor couldn't go against it. What else can Dad do? What's more, Dad thinks the Regent treats you well."

"The prince is very good to me. The last person who was this good to me was my mother."

"Wanwan, you are wrong. Have you forgotten the relationship between you and the emperor? Even if the regent likes you, he won't really be open-hearted to you."

"That's natural. If a person were to open his heart and lungs, wouldn't he die?"

"Why are you so stubborn? Are you really in love with the Regent?" Chi Mingyu's eyes were full of shock. He saw how much his daughter loved the emperor before. Even if she wanted to change her mind, she shouldn't do it so quickly. She has only been married to the Regent's Mansion for a few days.

However, looking at the Regent's expression just now, it seemed that he really had deep feelings for his daughter.

He didn't even understand his own daughter's taste, but the Regent was able to understand it so thoroughly in just a few days, which was enough to show how much he cared about Chi Tingwan.

Looking at my daughter's current appearance, she seems to be quite moved.

The regent was indeed powerful, and now more than half of the ministers in the court followed his lead. But the regent always looked down on him. Even now that he married his daughter, he still had no respect for him.

Just now when he saluted to him at the door, he didn't even stop him.

He called him father-in-law, but his eyes showed no respect. Even if he really became the emperor in the future, I'm afraid he wouldn't give his father-in-law any real benefits.

No, the treasure still has to be placed on the emperor.
