In the evening, the bright moon was rising, and there was silence in Taifu Zhao's mansion, with only the occasional chirping of insects.

After serving the prince, the servant Jin Chuan took advantage of the free time and tiptoed across the courtyard and slipped into the princess's yard.

From a distance, he saw the maid standing at the princess's door. Jin Chuan walked up to her quickly and said, "Sister Hongyan, I have something to ask the princess."

Hongyan heard the voice, turned her head to look at him, and saw that it was the gold string beside the prince. She nodded, turned around and walked into the house.

"Princess, Jin Chuan, who is beside the prince, wants to see you," Hong Yan reported softly.

At this time, Princess Anding was holding a golden pestle and carefully grinding a piece of spice in a golden mortar. Her movements were focused.

After hearing the maid's report, she didn't even raise her head, but simply ordered: "Let him in."

"Yes, Princess," Hongyan responded, walked out of the house, and said to Jinchuan, "The Princess asked you to come in."

Upon hearing this, Jin Chuan hurriedly stepped into the room, then knelt on the ground with a "thump", and said respectfully: "Princess, I have something to report."

Princess Anding continued to grind the spices slowly, seemingly unconcerned about Jin Chuan's arrival. After a while, she slowly said, "Tell me, it's so late, what's the matter?"

Jin Chuan said nervously: "The prince has recently taken a fancy to the third daughter of the Chen family in the Ministry of Revenue and has been very close to her. But this woman is a playboy and has been involved with the eldest son of the Su family in the Hanlin Academy and the fourth son of General Bai's family."

Princess Anding paused while grinding spices, frowned and thought, Miss Chen San from the Ministry of Revenue?

Seeing that the princess had no impression, Nanny You spoke at the right time, "Princess, she is the woman who is always by the side of Princess Ronghua."

After being reminded by Nanny You, Princess Anding finally remembered this woman. "It's her?" Princess Anding's voice was full of anger.

She had brought Yao'er to the Princess's Mansion or other banquets many times. Every time, the woman was with Princess Ronghua. At that time, she didn't care too much and just thought that she had a good relationship with the princess.

The woman had a pretty face, but from her expression, it could be seen that she was by no means a person who could be taken lightly. Princess Anding could never have imagined that such a woman could seduce her son right under her nose. It was indeed a good trick.

Thinking of this, her face became even gloomier, and she slammed her hand on the table. There was a loud "bang", and it seemed as if the whole room shook.

In her mind, there is only one candidate for daughter-in-law, and that is Princess Ronghua. The princess is of noble status and is a perfect match for Yaoer. Only such a woman is worthy of her son.

Princess Anding turned her head to look at Jin Chuan who was still kneeling on the ground, and the anger in her eyes eased a little.

"But, Jin Chuan, you did a great job. Get up." Although the princess' voice still contained some anger, it was much gentler than before. "Madame You, give Jin Chuan a reward."

Nanny You responded quickly, took out two gold ingots from her bosom and placed them in front of the gold string.

Upon seeing this, Jin Chuan immediately showed a happy smile on his face. He kowtowed in thanks and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your reward," and then quickly put the gold ingot into his arms.

Princess Anding nodded with satisfaction, flicked her sleeves, and said, "Withdraw."

"Yes, Princess," Jin Chuan quickly stood up and left the room swiftly.

After Jin Chuan left, Nanny You asked softly, "Princess, how should this matter be handled?"

Princess Anding was silent for a moment. She rubbed her forehead and said slowly, "Let's talk to Yao'er tomorrow."

She deliberately did not go to the Chen family's birthday party today because the Chen family of this household was reprimanded by His Majesty and lost face. Since Princess Ronghua would be there, she asked Yaoer to go alone so that the two of them could spend more time together. No wonder Yaoer agreed so readily today, it turned out that he wanted to see this little bitch.

Seeing the princess like this, the maid Cuizhu was nervous, but she still stepped forward and rubbed her temples attentively. For a moment, Princess An Ding's anger dissipated a lot, and she sighed comfortably, "Cuizhu's hands are still very skillful."

Cuizhu said modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, Princess..."

The Su family mentioned by the servant was completely ignored by them.

On the other side, the Chen family of the Ministry of Revenue stayed awake all night long by the bedside of Old Madam Chen. It was not until midnight that the old lady finally woke up and opened her confused eyes a little.

Mr. Chen was so happy that he burst into tears and shouted: "Mother, you finally woke up."

Old Master Chen was also happy, "Wife, you're awake."

There were also grandchildren who shouted: "Grandma, you finally woke up"

“……”, it was very noisy for a while.

Old Madam Chen looked at the people gathered around the bed. When she saw Madam Chen and her granddaughter Chen Manli, her old hands trembled as she pointed at them. She said weakly to her eldest son: "My eldest son, these two mother and daughter made me look bad at my birthday party today. How can I go out in the future?"

Master Chen knelt before her bed and said, "It's all because of my unfilial son. What do you want to do with me, mother?"

Old Lady Chen said: "Take back Wu's housekeeping power and hand over the household chores to your second daughter-in-law. And you should take good care of your daughter. Her reputation is now completely ruined. If anyone wants to marry her in the future, send her to the farm to reflect on her actions."

Hearing what the old lady said, the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family couldn't suppress her smile. She promised, "Old lady, your daughter-in-law will manage the house well and will never let you worry or suffer."

Master Chen also nodded. He had no opinion and said, "I'll listen to what mother says."

When Mrs. Chen saw this, her face turned pale instantly and she screamed, "Master, this is absolutely not allowed." She looked as if the sky was about to fall.

However, Master Chen ignored her pleas. He looked at his wife coldly and once again pulled back the sleeve that she was holding tightly.

He said sternly: "You have no right to speak here. Come here, take the lady back to the main courtyard. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the room."

Mrs. Chen was caught off guard and fell to the ground. There was a dull "bang" and she grimaced in pain.

This fall not only made Mrs. Chen's hair disheveled, but also knocked one of the pearl hairpins out of her hair.

As soon as Master Chen finished speaking, several burly servants rushed in. They stood in front of Madam Chen and said in unison, "Madam, please come in."

Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she took a few steps back. She had to get up from the ground in a panic, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Master Chen felt a little sorry, but he still hardened his heart and said to his daughter, "Manli, you should pack up for the next two days and go live in the farm in the suburbs."

Chen Manli looked at her father in disbelief, her eyes wide open, "Dad, how could you leave your daughter in that desolate village?"

Master Chen said sternly: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Just pack up your things in the next two days."

Chen Manli refused to give in and said, "Dad, I don't want it."

She didn't want to suffer in a dilapidated village.

Master Chen ignored her crying and said, "Then don't pack up, let's go today."

Chen Manli cried and pleaded: "Dad, I was wrong. I will take care of it right away."

After saying this, he walked away hesitantly.
