Seeing Xiao Wanning's seriousness, Concubine Yuan finally took it seriously. She then looked at Xiao Wanning and asked, "What exactly is going on? How did Bingyan provoke Jiang Zhongming?!"

You should know that the reason why she favors Yuan Bingyan is not only because she is her niece, but also because she knows when to advance and when to retreat, knows her limits, and is shrewd. If she marries Prince Rui in the future, she will assist him well. Jiang Zhongming is the person Rui'er wants to win over, so she naturally won't let her come to destroy it.

"Yuan Bingyan asked Tie Qi to use the golden and jade hairpin with double phoenixes holding pearls that her mother had given her as bait to frame General Jiang. Unexpectedly, Tie Qi was caught by General Jiang. Seeing that the plan was exposed, Yuan Bingyan actually wanted to kill her to silence her. With General Jiang around, he naturally wouldn't let Yuan Bingyan succeed, so General Jiang put her in jail. Now, I don't know how Yuan Bingyan is doing."

Seeing Concubine Yuan's face getting darker and darker, Xiao Wanning couldn't help but feel guilty, but now she could only bite the bullet and tell the truth!

"Outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous! Someone, go and get the Marquis of Yongchang to come to me!"

Concubine Yuan slammed the table hard, and the palace maids serving beside her were so scared that they fell to their knees, not daring to make a sound.

"Yes!"

At this moment, Xiao Wanning didn't know whether Concubine Yuan was talking about Yuan Bingyan or Jiang Zhongming, so she could only step forward and look at Concubine Yuan worriedly:

"Mother, calm down. Now is not the time to be angry. We should think of a way to rescue cousin Bingyan. She is a lady from a noble family. If she enters a place like that, she will be terrified!"

"Humph! You'd better die. You're so stupid as a pig. It's a disgrace to stay in this world!"

Concubine Yuan was so angry that she couldn't help but touch her forehead. She had thought that Yuan Bingyan was very smart and could be of great use, but now it seems that she was wrong. If she was allowed to enter Prince Rui's Mansion, who knows what kind of trouble would be caused!

Now that he is in jail again, he is naturally not allowed to enter the Prince Rui's Mansion again. It seems that he needs to have a good discussion with Yuan Quanlin.

Seeing Concubine Yuan's distressed look, Xiao Wanning's eyes were full of worry, and she hurried to serve Concubine Yuan. Seeing Xiao Wanning being so considerate, Concubine Yuan's expression couldn't help but ease a little, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Sure enough, her biological daughter was still useful at the critical moment.

Gently patting Xiao Wanning's hand, Concubine Yuan said softly, "It's okay, mother. I was really mad at Yuan Bingyan. Wanning has been wronged over the years!"

It's not that she doesn't know what Xiao Wanning is thinking, but even though she is now a royal concubine, in order to get support from her family, she has to pay more attention to Yuan Bingyan, and naturally ignores Xiao Wanning's temper.

Xiao Wanning didn't expect Concubine Yuan to say this suddenly. Tears welled up in her eyes, and then she looked at Concubine Yuan and choked up:

"Wan Ning doesn't feel wronged. My uncle wants Yuan Bingyan to marry my brother to consolidate the Yuan family's position. Wan Ning understands all of this. Mother is also thinking about my brother's great cause. If my brother can ascend to the throne in the future, even if Wan Ning suffers some grievances, it won't be a big deal. But mother, Yuan Bingyan has made such a big mistake now. If she marries my brother in the future, I wonder if it will have a bad influence on him!"

"Humph! She's not the only daughter of the Yuan family. Since she's so disappointing, why not replace her with another girl from the Yuan family? Yuan Bingfei has already reached marriage age. Apart from her status as a concubine, her looks and talents are no less impressive than Yuan Bingyan's. Then let your royal brother take her as a concubine. All your uncle wants is the attitude of Prince Rui. She's his daughter anyway, so what's the difference?"

"But Yuan Bingfei is just a concubine's daughter, how can she be worthy of the emperor!" Xiao Wanning looked at Concubine Yuan unwillingly, and couldn't help but stand up for Xiao Jinrui.

Seeing Xiao Wanning's angry expression, Concubine Yuan said lovingly, "She's just a concubine, so what if she's a concubine's daughter? As long as she can reassure your uncle, wouldn't it be easy for her to become a legitimate daughter? Isn't Yuan Peishan also a concubine's daughter? Isn't she of great use to Mother now?"

Wan Ning, you must remember that you are a princess. There will be many people who will come to you in the future. You still have a lot to learn about how to manage people!"

"Mother is right. I have taken note of it!" Xiao Wanning said respectfully.

It was rare for the mother and daughter to be so harmonious. Concubine Yuan taught Xiao Wanning many ways of dealing with things. The mother and daughter stopped talking until the palace maid came to report that Yuan Quanlin had arrived.

When Yuan Quanlin came in, the room was surprisingly quiet. Even the sound of a falling stick could be heard. Yuan Quanlin couldn't help but feel nervous, secretly wondering if he had made a mistake. Before Yuan Quanlin could speak, Concubine Yuan threw a teacup at him.

You really have a good daughter! You actually set your sights on Jiang Zhongming. You're really showing off your abilities!

Seeing Concubine Yuan's exasperated look, Yuan Quanlin dared not move. He could only watch the things thrown at him fall straight down at his feet. A crisp sound rang out instantly! Yuan Quanlin immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, calm down. I don't know what Bingyan has done to make you so angry!"

At this time, Yuan Quanlin didn't know what had happened to Yuan Bingyan. After all, he had just returned from outside and hadn't even had time to change his casual clothes when he was brought here by the people sent by Concubine Yuan.

"Hmph! What crime did she commit? She overestimated her own abilities and framed Jiang Zhongming. Now she's been arrested by Jiang Zhongming as a spy and thrown into jail. This is truly a first for a noble lady from an aristocratic family to be thrown into jail!"

"What? Bingyan was locked up in jail? How is this possible? Is there some misunderstanding here, Her Majesty?" Yuan Quanlin said in disbelief. You know, Yuan Bingyan has always been well-educated and cautious. How could she be caught by someone?

"Wan Ning said this herself, how could she be wrong? If Yuan Bingyan is really labeled a spy, then the Yuan family will be destroyed in her hands." Concubine Yuan looked at Yuan Quanlin and said angrily,

Yuan Caiquan turned pale with fear. He looked at Concubine Yuan and said, "What should we do? If His Majesty finds out, the Yuan family will be doomed! Concubine, although Bingyan has made a serious mistake, she is still your niece! You must save her!"

Concubine Yuan's face turned pale. She looked at Yuan Quanlin coldly and said, "You can save her, but with this stain on her, she won't be able to enter Prince Rui's Palace in the future!"

"This, this... is it!" No matter how reluctant Yuan Quanlin was, he knew that Yuan Bingyan would not enter the Prince Rui's Mansion after such an experience. However, if this happened, the connection between them would probably be cut off.
