"Prince Jin may not care, so what? But Concubine Xi actually accepted so many good things from Xingchen as if it was her right. Who would be willing to accept such gifts without doing anything? It's happened once or twice."

The Empress asked Xiao Bo, "How will the Xi family handle this matter? Is the item fake? What about the real thing?"

Xiao Bo smiled.

"Don't worry, mother. They were really sold by Xi Tianyou. Now they are in your hands."

"Did you buy it?"

“Yes, I bought them all.”

Concubine Xian didn't understand and asked, "Why did you buy those things? You're not going to give them to Xingchen, are you?"

The virtuous concubine felt distressed.

Xiao Bo said, "I will wait for the Xi family to come and buy it from me, and then I will sell it to you at a high price."

"Will the Xi family buy it?"

"If it were in the past, I really wouldn't do that, but it's different now. Xingchen said he wanted to donate the things to Songshan College."

The Xi family may not be in a hurry to donate to refugees.

But if the Xi family doesn't donate to Songshan College, they will be drowned in the spit of the students.

The scary thing about students is their mouths.

I can make anything black appear white.

The Queen smiled at Xiao Bo and said, "How come I didn't notice before? Xiao Si, you are so naughty."

Xiao Bo said, "I simply cannot bear to see the Xi family bullying Cousin Xingchen. They dare to beat drums and gongs to ruin Cousin Xingchen's reputation. How can I alleviate her hatred without bloodshed?"

The Queen smiled.

"If the emperor knew about this, he would probably be angry again."

"Then Empress Xifei might be in trouble again."

The Xi family is having a great time, as they dare to openly oppose the emperor.

But the one who always suffers the loss is the Xi family.

His Royal Highness Prince Jin heard the news and has already gone to the Xi family.

He started cursing at Xicheng.

"Who the hell came up with this stupid idea?"

The King of Jin was furious.

He originally wanted to please Wen Xingchen, but now the Xi family was openly looking for trouble with Wen Xingchen. Not only that, but they also... lost more than they gained.

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, please don't be angry yet. This matter is not completely without benefits. After all, it has caused such a big stir. The Chen family will definitely know that the princess and you have already had a secret relationship. They will definitely give up the idea of ​​marrying Princess Huayang."

"Give up the idea? The emperor has granted the marriage. Unless Wen Xingchen is unwilling, the Chen family will never go against the emperor's decree and cancel the engagement."

King Jin looked at the group of people from the Xi family and really couldn't understand how they could do such a stupid thing.

There is no use in talking more.

"Where's Tianyou?"

Xicheng was also very helpless. He said, "The person has been locked up, so it's a good opportunity to interrogate him."

"Uncle, return Xingchen's things to her as soon as possible. Don't wait for her to come to you personally."

"Humph, if the Duke of this country doesn't give it to her, can she still come and ask for it?"

Prince Jin Xiao Sheng snorted coldly.

"I don't know whether Wen Xingchen will come to ask for it, but the students of Songshan Academy will ask you for it, and the imperial censors will ask you for it. If you don't want to be drowned in their spit, it's best not to challenge them casually."

"The previous emperor favored Concubine Liang and favored her relatives, causing great hardship for the people. The officials were powerless to deal with the emperor, and ultimately, it was the students threatening to commit suicide that forced the emperor to execute Concubine Liang."

"Do you need me to list all these examples, uncle?"

Xicheng frowned.

But he still didn't change his mind.

"Uncle, the dean of Songshan College is Tao Muci. You know that, don't you?"

Tao Muci was a veteran of three dynasties, and had served as the emperor's teacher, holding a high position of power.

If he came forward... of course he wouldn't ask the princess for money, he would ask the emperor for it.

Of course he wouldn’t ask for it directly, so how could he ask for it?

Tao Muci's style is that when he goes to court, he will first quote scriptures and scold the Duke of Zhenguo, then say that the Queen Concubine Xi in the harem is a disaster for the country and the people, and then force the emperor to issue an order to depose the Queen Concubine Xi, and then you punish the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Xicheng listened to Tao Muci and gritted his teeth and said, "What does this have to do with him?"

"He's the president of Songshan Academy. He's proposed to the Emperor several times to expand the academy, but the Emperor always refused, citing a lack of funds. But now? A huge fortune has fallen from the sky. How could he remain indifferent?"

"When the time comes, not only will you be punished, but even your mother will be demoted."

If it wasn't Tao Muci, Xicheng really wouldn't take it seriously, but what if it was Tao Muci?

That old man was used to taking advantage of his seniority. He had heard him persuade the emperor like a monk chanting sutras.

Except for the expansion of Songshan College, he could make anything he wanted with his mouth.

"But your cousin sold all those things."

“Just sell it and buy it back.”

"..."

Today, the Wen family is also uneasy.

When Wen Changsheng heard that the Xi family was in trouble, he rushed back as fast as he could, but he was still too late.

Wen Xingchen took it upon himself to send the things to Songshan College.

She is really getting bolder and bolder.

He also increasingly disregarded her as his father.

When Wen Changsheng came back, he summoned Wen Xingchen to the main courtyard.

And at this time, Wen Ruyue was also there.

Wen Ruyue will definitely be hated by His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin for what happened today, as she caused the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to fall into turmoil.

She wanted to win the heart of His Royal Highness Prince Jin, but it was impossible.

What Wen Changsheng cares about is Wen Xingchen's self-assertion.

How could she ask to donate the things to Songshan College? If the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion refused to give them, what would Songshan College do to him?

Where could Ningyuan Hou find so much silver?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

The angrier I get, the more I want to curse.

"Kneel down."

Before Wen Xingchen knelt down, Wen Ruyue knelt down.

"Father, don't be angry. My sister didn't mean it."

Wen Ruyue's understanding made Wen Changsheng even angrier.

"Look at you, your sister is more sensible than you."

Wen Changsheng felt pity for his second daughter, so he lowered his voice a few degrees and said, "Ruyue, get up."

Wen Ruyue was helped up by her maid Yun Duo.

Yun Duo has been serving her master recently and feels that her master is becoming more and more timid.

Especially when the princess is present.

Wen Changsheng glared at Wen Xingchen and ordered her to kneel down.

Wen Xingchen hesitated for a moment, then knelt down.

"Dad, why are you angry?"

"Why didn't you wait for me to come back? Why did you make the decision on your own?"

Xu consoled him, "Master, the princess is not to blame. It was the Xi family who suddenly came over and said they wanted to return the gifts they had given her."

"If she hadn't been shameless and pestered His Royal Highness Prince Jin before, how could this happen today?"

Wen Xingchen frowned.

They still bring up trivial matters.

"Master, the princess is still young."

"Little? She's two years older than Ruyue. Ruyue is very obedient..."

Wen Xingchen glanced at Wen Ruyue, just one glance, and Wen Ruyue felt her whole body trembling.

Is that obedience? It's clearly cowardice.

If you ask her what to do, she will definitely answer: Everything has to wait for Daddy to come back and make the decision.

Humph, if I wait for him, how can there be more exciting things?

Wen Xingchen said, "My daughter knows she is wrong. Please punish me, father."

Wen Changsheng: ...

Xu: ...

Wen Ruyue: ...

The princess admitted her mistake.

This is a unique thing.

Wen Changsheng punched the cotton and wanted to get angry, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Wen Changsheng reacted and said, "How can this matter be resolved just by you admitting your mistakes?"
