Hao Ting took it and took a small bite. After savoring it carefully, he said, "It tastes good, but it's still a little worse than what my father made for my mother."

Hearing this, Gu Xinjiu suddenly became curious.

"Master Xu will also make cakes for the princess?"

It is really hard to imagine that Lord Xu, who is so capable in officialdom, would actually cook for his wife and children when he returns home.

Isn’t it said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen?

She had never seen her father enter the kitchen; it was her mother who took care of the household chores.

It turns out that husband and wife don’t just get along like parents.

No wonder Princess Le'an can be herself with confidence and boldness.

Hao Ting nodded as if it was normal. "Yes, I can make it. I also have many varieties. My mother loves it."

"That's really enviable."

Gu Xinjiu glanced in the direction of Hao Ting.

"What method did you use just now to catch so many fish in a row?"

"My second uncle taught me." Hao Ting looked at her proudly, "Do you want to learn too?"

"Yes I do."

Gu Xinjiu nodded without hesitation.

Hao Ting thought about it, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, he slid down from the bench and ran out of the pavilion.

"Aunt, wait a minute. I'll go get my second uncle."

"Hey!"

Gu Xinjiu was startled and wanted to pull Hao Ting to tell him that it was not necessary, but the child had already run away.

She hurriedly followed Hao Ting to the lake.

……

Song Yuntang took the ten taels of silver that had just been found in the water from Xia Ning's hand and took a look at it. Apart from a small and inconspicuous mark, there was nothing special about it. It was just a neat and tidy silver ingot, and its origin was still unknown.

She came to Breguet.

"Could you please let me see the silver Miss Baoji has on her?"

Baoji's eyes dodged and he subconsciously covered the purse around his waist.

"I am just an ordinary maid in the Marquis's mansion. I don't have such a large silver ingot on me."

Seeing this, Song Yuntang winked at Xia Ning.

Xia Ning understood what he meant and took the purse from Breguet's waist and handed it to Song Yuntang.

Song Yuntang unfolded it and pulled out an identical silver ingot from it. In the same place on the silver ingot, there was also an inconspicuous five-point plum blossom mark.

This can't be just a coincidence.

She showed two almost identical marks.

"How do you explain this mark, Miss Breguet? Are you going to say that I forged it in front of everyone?"

Someone came forward to take a look.

"Hey! They're exactly the same. I almost believed that this matter had nothing to do with the maid in Yangdu Marquis's Mansion."

"Really? The marks are so similar, it can't be a coincidence, right?"

Some families have the habit of marking silver and money to prove that it is the silver that came out of their home.

However, the five-point plum blossom mark does not look like the mark of the Yangdu Marquis's silver. It should be the dowry silver that the Marquis's wife brought from her parents' home last year.

Talk about it.

The Crown Prince's wife and Princess Le'an are enemies.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be enjoying the show, Breguet was already confused.

It’s over.

She didn't do what her master asked her to do.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Song Yuntang had a cold look on his face.

"Xia Ning, tie her up."

"Wait!"

A voice came from behind the crowd.

When Baoji heard the voice, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The master is here to save her!

Song Yuntang looked back but showed no surprise.

Sure enough it was her.

Meng Xinyue.

It seems that those few months she spent with Concubine Fu last year did not teach her a lesson.

After Prince Heng fell, Minister Meng was almost implicated.

Although he was later removed from the position, he has not yet been reinstated.

Her family is on the verge of collapse, but she is still stirring up trouble behind the scenes. She really doesn't know how to live or die.

"The Crown Prince's Consort has arrived at just the right time. Baoji, the maid from the Yangdu Marquis's residence, bribed Cuihuan, the maid from Miss Fu's second daughter, with the intention of pushing my son into the lake. Does the Crown Prince's Consort have anything to say?"

Meng Xinyue glanced at her indifferently.

"Everything that happened today was done by Baoji alone. What does the princess want me to say? Although Baoji made a mistake, she is still a servant in the Yangdu Marquis's mansion. I should take her back and discipline her, rather than letting the princess interfere. Now that the truth has been revealed and Young Master Xu is safe and sound, I will take Baoji back to the Yangdu Marquis's mansion to be punished."

As he said this, he winked at the maids beside him and asked them to help Baoji up.

Before Keren could step forward, she was stopped by Xia Ning.

Song Yuntang remained calm.

"Today, I'm afraid the Crown Princess won't be able to take Miss Baoji away from me. Since the Crown Princess denies that what Miss Baoji did today was ordered by you, Miss Baoji is, after all, a maid in the Marquisate. Everything she did was on behalf of the Yangdu Marquisate. Afterwards, I will send Miss Baoji to the Marquisate to ask for an explanation from the old Marquis."

When Meng Xinyue heard that she was going to ask the old marquis for an explanation, her brows tightened.

Because of the previous scandal, the old marquis was not very satisfied with her, and now his father has not yet resumed his post, so this is not the time to create unnecessary trouble.

Today, Breguet must not fall into Song Yuntang's hands.

After Meng Xinyue, many young men and women came, and Fu Yunqi was one of them.

She heard the conversation from afar, and when she caught a glimpse of Cuihuan kneeling on the wet ground, her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly became a little panicked.

But it has already happened, there is no point in running away.

She stepped forward.

"Cuihuan, you are confused!"

Cuihuan shivered from the cold, her lips turning black and blue. She hugged her arms and cried with regret, "Miss, I was wrong."

"Why on earth do you want to do this?" Fu Yunqi asked.

Cuihuan sobbed.

"My mother is seriously ill and needs money for treatment. I have asked many people for help, but no one is willing to help me. This is... this is..."

Fu Yunqi was very disappointed with his friend.

"Then why don't you come to me? I am your master. If you have any difficulties, you should come to me first instead of doing something so evil!"

Now that the incident had already happened, Fu Yunqi stopped blaming her and knelt down towards Song Yuntang.

"Cui Huan was instigated to harm Young Master Xu. Ultimately, it was Yun Qi's fault for neglecting her education. Please, Princess, spare her life. Yun Qi is willing to be punished along with Cui Huan."

Neglect of discipline is real.

But Fu Yunqi is brave enough to take responsibility for his mistakes, which makes it difficult for people around him to hate him.

Song Yuntang is not a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong.

"Although Miss Fu was responsible for neglecting her duties, she was still unaware of the situation. Even if Cuihuan wasn't involved, someone else would have been. This is Cuihuan's fault alone. This princess will not blame the Fu family. Miss Fu, please stand up."

Fu Yunqi stood up.

"Thank you, Princess. After returning, Yun Qi will punish Cui Huan severely and give an explanation to Master Xu and the Princess."
