The emperor stood there in a daze, his mind racing.

The Marquis of Guanyong's Mansion, the Old Prime Minister's Mansion, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion...

These companies are equally powerful, and there is no need to confront them head-on unless there are real conflicts that cannot be resolved.

Who else would dare to attack the Yao family and get away with it?

Suddenly, an idea flashed through the emperor's mind.

Fang Yao.

I almost forgot about him.

The companies mentioned above all have many concerns and will not take ruthless action easily.

Didn’t you hear what the old prime minister said?

He almost got himself killed, how cruel.

What kind of hatred could allow such a thing? What kind of strength dares to do such a thing?

There will be no one else except Fang Yao.

What the old lady and the eldest lady of the Chongguo Mansion did to Miss Shen was vicious enough. When Fang Yao came back and found out, it would be strange if she didn't take revenge.

Miss Shen is the lifeblood of the Fang family, and her status is higher than that of the Fang family's own children.

How dare your Yao family take advantage of Fang Yao's absence from Beijing to ruin Miss Shen's reputation? Will Fang Yao let you off easily?

"I heard that the gang kidnapped Miss Yao and asked the Yao family to go outside the city to redeem her today. Duke Chong must have guessed the identity of the person, so today, he asked his men to impeach Fang Yao."

The emperor suddenly understood.

I just said that I felt something was not right.

Suddenly everyone impeached Fang Yao. It turned out that the root cause was here.

Fang Yao's move was indeed cruel. If the Yao family dared to destroy Miss Shen's reputation, he would dare to destroy Miss Yao's reputation as well.

He felt no guilt about revenge.

"Did you take Miss Yao back?"

"This, I really don't know."

"Then are you pretending not to know the things I asked you just now?"

"I really don't know," the old prime minister said, feeling both amused and helpless. "You locked Fang Yao up in your house and forbade him from leaving. Didn't he tell you about this weapon?"

"No, I haven't had time to say anything yet," the emperor said with a displeased look on his face. "I'll ask this kid to cooperate with me in putting on a show for them. He always acts awkwardly. Once the spy issue is resolved, I'll definitely lock him up for a few days."

The old prime minister curled his lips in his heart.

Who believes?

The emperor just said this to satisfy his own desire.

......

As soon as he left the palace, Duke Chongguo received news from home.

The eldest girl is back.

When the housekeeper took people to pick her up outside the city, there was nothing to pick up. There was only a big monkey in the sedan chair. When the monkey saw them lift the curtain, it grinned at them and made faces.

A group of people walked back dejectedly. Just as they entered the city gate, they heard that the eldest daughter of Duke Chongguo and the eldest daughter of the Wen family, the Jiangnan Weaving Factory, were fighting in the street.

My girl is back?

The housekeeper was delighted.

Suddenly, the housekeeper heard that the eldest lady and Miss Wen were fighting, and he could hardly believe his ears.

It is said that the two fought fiercely, tearing clothes and pulling hair, and the hairpins on the head were pulled out and flew everywhere. They also tore off embroidered shoes, jade pendants and purses on the body, and anything they could tear off, they tore off and threw them into the crowd.

Everyone rushed forward and started scrambling, some stepped on their shoes, some tore their clothes, some stomped on their toes...

The chaotic and crazy scene was almost like bandits kidnapping a bride, it was unbearable to watch.

When the patrolling officers and soldiers heard the news and rushed over, the two girls had already been separated by the crowd and were staring at each other breathlessly, their faces full of hostility.

One is the eldest daughter of the Wen family, the Jiangnan weaving factory, and the future consort of the third prince; the other is the eldest daughter of the Yao family, the Duke of Chongguo's mansion, and the queen's niece.

Each side called the other a bitch and that the other wanted to prove their innocence and let the officers and soldiers arrest people.

The officers and soldiers were in a panic because they were important figures whom they could not afford to offend. Even if they were given a hundred times the courage, they would not dare to lay a hand on the two girls.

All I could do was to coax them with kind words, coaxing this side and that side, and persuading this and that.

Then, a strange phenomenon appeared on the street. A group of officers and soldiers in official uniforms acted as peacemakers between the two girls in full view of the public.

The news spread very quickly. In less than half a day, everyone in the teahouse and restaurant knew about it, and then the whole capital knew about it!

The housekeeper hurried back with his men. As soon as they entered the room, they saw the young lady kneeling on the ground with tears all over her face.

After a little inquiry, I found out what had happened.

It turned out that today Miss Wen went up the mountain to burn incense and relax, and went to Bailin Temple on Qingyun Mountain.

I originally wanted to invite the second Miss Shen, Shen Yao, to come along, but ever since Shen Yao was assigned to be the second prince's concubine, she has been speaking in sarcastic to everyone.

If she heard that Wen Wanying was still in the mood to go out for a walk, she would definitely not give Wen Wanying a good look.

Wen Wanying was too lazy to cause trouble, so she led a large group of people up the mountain.

On the way, people kept pointing at her and talking about her scandalous affair with the Third Prince in the Shen Mansion. Wen Wanying was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

Just when I was feeling annoyed, a well-dressed girl ran down the mountain and accidentally broke into the team led by Wen Wanying.

Wen Wanying had a cold face as she listened to the conversation between her personal maid and the girl outside.

As she listened, she frowned.

Why does this voice sound so familiar?

Seems to be……

I seem to have heard it in the Chongguo Mansion. Could it be that she is from the Chongguo Mansion?

Wen Wanying suddenly opened the curtain and was stunned when she took a look.

"Cousin?"

She was the niece of Madam Yao Wen. After coming to Beijing, she often went to the Yao family to pay her respects to her aunt. Almost every time she went there, she would meet Miss Yao. The two of them had already become very familiar with each other.

When Miss Yao saw Wen Wanying, she was not only unhappy, but also secretly resentful.

If it weren't for her, my mother wouldn't have died.

She persuaded her grandmother to speak up for Zhao, so her grandmother assigned her mother to do it. In the end, the matter was exposed, and she, her grandmother, and Zhao were all fine, but her mother died.

It’s all Wen Wanying’s fault, that unlucky person!

Why should my mother bear the consequences of the disaster they planned?

Miss Yao narrowed her eyes slightly and got on the carriage.

Wen Wanying decided not to go to burn incense either. She was angry when she heard the gossip from others, so she decided to turn around and go back.

"Cousin, why did you come up the mountain alone? Where are your maids and servants? Why didn't they follow you?" Wen Wanying looked at the neatly dressed Miss Yao and was very curious.

Miss Yao didn't say anything either. She was thinking all the way about how to explain to her family when she got back so that she wouldn't be forced to commit suicide like her mother, or be sent to a nunnery to live out her life with the Buddha and the green lamps.

As I was thinking, the carriage entered the city.

Coincidentally, when Miss Yao looked out from the carriage curtain that was blown open by the wind, she saw a familiar figure, the Third Prince.

He was on his horse, just to her side.

Miss Yao turned around and said to Wen Wanying without saying a word, "Cousin, you are already engaged to the Third Prince. In the future, please do not come to our house to visit your Second Prince cousin. My cousin said that since things have come to this, we should not contact each other anymore to avoid the heartbreak every time we meet. Even if you really want to be his principal wife, you dare not disobey the imperial decree, right?"

Wen Wanying looked at her in confusion, bewildered, "What are you talking about? Are you crazy?"

Miss Yao shouted, "I'm doing this for your own good. How can you say such hurtful things?"

Outside, the Third Prince heard clearly what Miss Yao had just said.

The rage in his heart suddenly rose up, burning him so much that he wanted to smash the sedan chair, drag the people inside out, and step on them under his feet!
