Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

"While fighting with her, the granddaughter said she was with her last night, trying to persuade her not to continue to be obsessed with her second cousin. She definitely didn't recognize him. She said she saw the granddaughter alone at the foot of the mountain and kindly gave her a ride."

Miss Yao kowtowed several times, her fair forehead turning blue. "Many people heard what I said at the time. After returning home, I thought the Wen family was my grandmother's family, so I didn't dare tell her the truth. That's why I came to ask for help from my grandfather."

"What do you want from me?"

"Granddaughter wants to ask for Grandfather's protection. First, to prevent Grandmother from getting angry with her, and second,..."

"Secondly, Wen Wanying will definitely tell Madam Wen what happened today when she returns home, and she will also think about her granddaughter's words again. Once she comes to her senses, the Wen family will either come to look for Grandmother or tell everyone that their granddaughter was not with Wen Wanying last night..."

"So, what you mean is that you want Grandfather to use his power to suppress the Wen family and make them admit that they were with you last night. And also warn your grandmother not to embarrass you because of this matter, right?"

Miss Yao didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.

"If Grandfather did this, the Wen family would definitely be unhappy. Tell me, what good would this do? Don't tell me it would improve the Yao family's reputation. I don't care about reputation at all. Besides, if I want to restore our reputation, I have plenty of ways, and I don't have to use just yours."

Miss Yao knew that he was telling the truth.

She had thought about this on the way home, so she knelt on the ground and leaned forward, saying, "Granddaughter asks grandfather for help to marry the Second Prince as his principal wife! Granddaughter wants to be the empress, the queen mother. You must protect the descendants of my Yao family and ensure their eternal prosperity!"

There was no movement above my head for a long time.

Duke Chongguo stared at the eldest granddaughter of the Duke's Mansion who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes became hot.

This is what the Yao family should be like, and I finally get to see it in my lifetime!

Compared with the incompetence and mediocrity of the Yao family men, the eldest granddaughter's clear articulation and quick mind today gave him infinite surprise.

For this important official who is over 60 years old, his biggest worry is that there is no one to take his place.

If he were gone one day, the power of the Yao family would decline rapidly and there would be no need to save it.

As for his sons and grandsons, who were protected by their ancestors, they would be punished for their past misdeeds. Their end would be extremely miserable, and no one would lend them a hand. Not stepping on them would be considered a good deed for their ancestors.

However, the ancestors of the Yao family did not accumulate much kindness.

He knew this very well, so after being exhausted, he became discouraged.

At this moment, his eldest granddaughter, who had always been quiet, brought him hope.

He saw in his granddaughter the shadow of his own unwillingness to admit defeat and quick wit. If this were a grandson...

It doesn’t matter, granddaughter is just as good!

If my granddaughter becomes the second prince's principal wife, as long as the second prince can ascend the throne, with my granddaughter's intelligence, she will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the harem.

If there is another son or daughter, the Yao family will remain powerful and have a stable status for the next three dynasties because of this granddaughter.

"Get up, good boy," Chongguogong calmed down his excitement, his tone filled with love and praise, "You did a great job today."

Yao Jingyi, the eldest daughter of the Yao family, looked up in surprise, "Grandfather."

Duke Chongguo nodded and continued, "You are the eldest granddaughter of my Yao family. Let alone a few words of disagreement, even if you beat the Wen family girl to a bloody pulp today, with my grandfather here, no one would dare to touch you."

"Then where is Grandmother..."

"Grandfather will tell her in person later. You don't need to worry about it. As for your disappearance last night... you said you were with Miss Wen, so you were together. There is no doubt about it, and Miss Wen herself cannot deny it."

Hearing her grandfather say this, Yao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandfather agreed to her request and would go to warn the Wen family and make Wen Wanying admit the "fact" that they were together last night.

The most important thing is that her grandfather will listen to her advice and help her become the second prince's consort.

Originally, the Chongguo Mansion supported the Second Prince. Now that they have a relationship with Yao Jingyi, they will use all their strength to help the Second Prince fight for the position of Crown Prince.

......

After Madam Wen Zhao sent away the steward of Duke Chongguo's Mansion, she was so angry that her heart ached.

I have never suffered such humiliation, but today I suffered it.

The daughter's face was swollen after being beaten by Miss Yao, and she came back crying. When they heard that the Yao family had sent the housekeeper to their house, they all thought that he was here to apologize.

When she came out to greet him after cleaning up, her daughter called out, "What's the point of asking the housekeeper to come? Let the housekeeper go back and let Yao Jingyi come in person to apologize."

Unexpectedly, when she walked into the reception room with a cold face, the steward of the Chongguo Mansion had an even colder face than hers.

"The Duke has sent me to inform Madam that children can quarrel, but they can still be sisters after the quarrel. However, it is wrong for Miss Wen to slander the innocence of the Duke's daughter. They were clearly together last night, whispering to each other, so why did Miss Wen turn against her after the quarrel? If this matter is not resolved, it will affect the reputation of the Duke's daughter."

"The Duke has asked me to ask Madam, do you also want to save Miss Wen's reputation? And as for Lord Wen, do Madam and Miss Wen think they can explain it?"

These words were like a thorn, piercing Da Zhao's heart.

Lord Wen has taken in countless concubines in Jiangnan, all of whom are beautiful and delicate, so charming that they are enchanting.

Those concubines not only made Lord Wen indulge in pleasure every night, but also gave birth to children for him.

In Lord Wen's eyes, there was no place for the Great Zhao family any longer. Her greatest advantage was that she had a father who was a veteran of three dynasties.

Her father, Prime Minister Zhao, played a major role in helping Lord Wen secure his position as the Supervisor of Jiangnan Weaving.

As for her two children, the son, who was a bit clever, was only average in his studies. The daughter, who was also a bit clever, finally got along well with the old lady of the Chongguo Mansion because they were of the same clan, but she also offended the daughter of the Yao family.

If Wen Ruiliang, who is far away in Jiangnan, knew about this, he would definitely not be happy. He might even use this as an excuse to recruit more skinny horses.

After pondering the situation, Mrs. Zhao smiled and said to the housekeeper of the Yao Mansion, "That's not the case. They were together the whole night and had a great time. As for the quarrel that the Duke mentioned, they are just children. It's not a big deal. They will be fine after a while. I have to go play with Miss Yao later."

"Please ask the housekeeper to go back and tell the Duke to rest assured. It's my fault that he has to worry about such a small matter. I apologize to the Duke here."

After hearing her words, the Yao Mansion's housekeeper's expression gradually softened. "The Duke said that since the sisters have a good relationship, they will still be each other's arms when they get married in the future. We can't let outsiders see and laugh at them."

"Yes, yes, the Duke is right. Some things need to be explained by the Duke so that I can understand them clearly. I will tell my daughter later so that she can learn from them."

The Yao Mansion's housekeeper nodded, bowed to Madam Zhao, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go back and tell the Duke right away, so he won't have to worry about such a small matter at home."

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she hurriedly asked her housekeeper to see the guest off and gave a wink to Madam Zhuang.

Madam Zhuang hurried into the house and took out a large purse, which she quietly showed to Mrs. Zhao. Mrs. Zhao nodded with satisfaction and gestured for Madam Zhuang to hand the purse to the housekeeper of the Yao residence.

After receiving the purse, the Yao residence's housekeeper squeezed it and immediately understood what was going on. He lowered his voice and said to Mrs. Zhao, "The Duke has decided to support Miss Yao. Madam and Miss Wen must not complain to my old lady afterwards. If the Duke finds out, Master Wen will definitely be in trouble. Moreover, if Madam and Miss Wen cooperate, Master Wen's studies and imperial examinations will be greatly improved..."

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she understood immediately and bowed repeatedly and thanked him profusely.
