The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

"Your servant greets Her Royal Highness. Please come this way. The Duke has already instructed that if Your Highness wishes to come, the carriage can go directly into the palace."

Outside the gate of Duke Dingguo's Mansion were dignitaries from various mansions who came to express their condolences. If His Highness got out of the car at this moment and was hit by someone, ten of their lives would not be enough to compensate for it.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! I am..."

Liang Chongyue leaned on the couch, picked up the grapes with her slender fingers and threw them rather boringly at Jing Suiyang who was sitting upright beside her.

Liang Fang took people to deal with the aftermath of the house raid.

Before getting married, those wives of officials were pampered daughters of wealthy families.

She married someone of equal social status and lived a wealthy life for half her life.

It wasn't even a night. The morning court lasted only a few hours that day. Instead of the pillar of the family coming to the palace to attend the court, soldiers in armor and with murderous looks on their faces came to ransack the house.

Things went downhill from the clouds to the mud.

No matter who it is, they will want to give it another try and use up every last bit of connections and money they have. The man is already dead and even the gods cannot save him.

But there are elderly people and children at home, and I still have to pursue a career as an official in the future.

If a father or family member has committed a serious crime, there is no hope for a career in politics.

There are many people like this, and no one dares to cause trouble in her princess mansion. However, according to Chi Rong's news, the capital these days is even more lively than the New Year.

The truly powerful century-old families kept their doors closed and did not want to be contaminated by this dirty water.

Some of the new nobles who had just arrived in Beijing felt that a starving camel was bigger than a horse, and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune at the foot of the imperial city.

Liang Fang’s first priority today is to thoroughly investigate this brainless corrupt official.

It was a stroke of luck that they escaped that day. Now that she had just started her fight against corruption, some people dared to commit crimes against the wind. It would have been fine if she didn't know about it, but she considered them lucky.

Now that things have gotten serious, she knows everything. She is not a saint, so how could she just let it go?

The carriage did not stop along the way and slowly entered the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Apart from the bustling crowd around, many people in the dark left quietly after seeing the carriage enter the mansion and went back to report the news.

"Your Highness, please come this way. The Duke and the Crown Prince are waiting for you in the study."

Liang Chongyue got off the carriage and was led by Han, the attendant who was usually with his grandfather.

Liang Chongyue nodded to Han with a proper smile on his face, and followed him towards the study.

Presumably, by this time, someone had already spread the news that she had entered the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to the palace.

I wonder what my scumbag dad would think if he knew about this.

Yesterday's incident should not have spread out yet, and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was quiet and peaceful.

The servants and maids passing by had their clothes fluttering, and even their footsteps were light yet steady.

On the way to the study, you have to pass by a lotus pond. Apart from the occasional bird song, there is rarely even the sound of cicadas by the pond.

Every place in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion exudes elegance. At first glance, it doesn't look like a family of military generals. Those who don't know would probably think they have accidentally entered the back garden of some noble family.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the study. The Duke and the Crown Prince are inside. Please go in alone, Your Highness."

Liang Chongyue knew that her grandfather wanted to talk to her about the marriage, so she thought it would be inconvenient to let others know before her scumbag father announced it to the world and those pedantic old ministers knew about it, so as to avoid the matter being publicized too early and causing harm to her.

"Then you can stay here. I can go in alone."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue walked towards the study.

The servants guarding the surrounding area all withdrew, leaving this place alone and quiet.

Liang Chongyue knocked on the door softly, and only pushed it open and walked in after hearing her grandfather's voice.

When she walked around the beaded curtain, she saw her grandfather, uncle and a man she had never seen before sitting together drinking tea.

There were seven or eight closed small boxes on the table between them, as if they were waiting for her to come.

"Your Highness, the Princess, may you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Liang Chongyue took a few quick steps to help his grandfather and uncle up:

"We're all family. What are grandpa and uncle doing? And who is this person?"

Liang Chongyue's eyes fell on the man in black clothes beside him. He was wearing all black in the middle of summer and was not afraid of getting hot.

"Your Highness, how are you? It's been a long time since we last met. My surname is Li, my name is Yu'an, and I am the current First Rank Grand Tutor. I am not in good health and don't attend court often. I have been recuperating in Mount Qiyun for many years, so it is normal that Your Highness suddenly doesn't recognize me."

Liang Chongyue reached out his hand to Li Yu'an and gave him a light support, with that decent smile still on his face. He watched Li Yu'an slowly raise his head, and thought of the famous quotes he had left in the literary world over the years and his unshakable status as a great master in the literary world.

She had heard of this person in her scumbag father's imperial study when she was a child. It seemed that this person kept coughing while holding her in his arms when she was a child.

I hadn't seen Li Yu'an for a long time, and I thought he had died of illness due to poor health.

Still alive.

But why does it feel like this person's face hasn't changed at all over the years?

Even the look of premature death on his face is gone. Now his lips are red, his teeth are white, his hair is smooth and shiny black. He doesn't look like a thirty-year-old man at all. If you don't know him, you would think he is the handsome son of an upright young family.

Could it be that the feng shui of Qiyun Mountain is really good? Is it so nourishing?

"Grand Master Li is a leading figure in the literary world of Daxia. Chongyue has the utmost respect for him. I heard that he had retired to the mountains, and I didn't expect to run into him here."

It was rare for Liang Chongyue to speak the truth. Back then, his father valued him because of his outstanding literary talent and his unique opinions on many things. Every word he said seemed to touch his father's heart, and he was deeply valued by his father.

He was promoted to the position of first-rank Grand Tutor after only five years in the court. Back then, he almost envied his colleagues who had entered the court with him and were still holding the position of fifth-rank officials.

She was even better at flattering him than him. Mainly, what he said gave people an inexplicable sense of trust. She had tried to learn from him for a long time but still couldn't learn it.

The system calls this affinity, but she really couldn't see what kind of affinity this sickly person had.

However, except for his scumbag father, Li Yuan's mouth is like poison to everyone else.

The conversation would end in minutes. During those days, he hung around the scumbag father every day. When the scumbag father was not available, he would occasionally act as her teacher.

Even her scumbag father couldn't bear to punish her by making her copy books. This sickly girl coughed like a tuberculosis patient next to her every day, and punished her by making her copy books whenever they disagreed with her.

Thinking back to the childhood memories, shouldn't Li Yu'an, the black-hearted fox, still be recuperating in Qiyun Mountain?

If he returns to Beijing, his scumbag father will definitely call him back to work by his side.

Ever since he left the capital, there has been no minister around his scumbag father who can understand his thoughts.

He had heard his scumbag father complain about the unfairness of the world more than once.

Li Yu'an was given a good brain, but also a very bad body.

If he had the final say, he would use all the useless people in the court to buy Li Yu'an a good body, preferably one that could serve Daha for ten thousand years.

"It's a rare honor for Your Highness to still remember me. It's truly an honor for me."

Liang Chongyue just smiled and said nothing. Who could not remember you? The papers she was punished to copy in those years are still kept by her scumbag father in the Yangxin Palace. Now let Qi Deyuan look for them. I guarantee that every one of them can be found.
