The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

The carriage was forced to stop, and with a jolt, Yu Ningyao woke up.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at her mother and brothers with a puzzled expression.

What happened?

Before she could even ask, she heard the same voice again.

"My mother is Princess Yifang, I must have this lamp!!!"

Now there's no need to ask, Yu Ningyao knows.

The lamp that Yun Chubai had given her was too big to fit inside the carriage, so it was hung outside. As a result, it caught the eye of the daughter of Princess Yifang.

Shen Jinzhu's face turned very ugly.

Princess Yifang was the legitimate daughter of Prince Rong and was greatly favored.

Unexpectedly, we ran into each other here.

"Your humble servant Yu Kangjing greets Princess Yifang." Yu Kangjing ignored the young girl and instead looked at Princess Yifang standing to the side.

"Who are you?" Princess Yifang squinted as she sized him up.

She didn't remember having such a person in the Hangzhou government.

Wasn't it said that there were some merchants in this car? How come there are officials as well?

“My elder brother is the Marquis of Jing’an.” Yu Kangjing knew that mentioning his official title would be useless, since he was just a minor official of the seventh rank. He could only use his brother’s name as a shield.

"Oh, the younger brother of the Marquis of Jing'an who married a merchant's daughter?" Princess Yifang's tone carried a hint of disdain.

"This must be your wife's family home."

She glanced at the Shen family's carriage with disdain.

“Exactly.” Yu Kangjing nodded.

"Then there's no need for me to say anything more. My son Shouning has taken a fancy to the lamp, bring it here." Princess Yifang ordered him without any politeness.

Her daughter, Luo Shouning, crossed her arms and looked at Yu Kangjing triumphantly.

Yu Kangjing thought of the way his daughter's eyes lit up when she looked at the lamp, and hardened his heart to refuse.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness, that’s my daughter’s lamp. I can’t give it to your daughter on her behalf.”

"Mother, I want that lamp!" Luo Shouning stomped her feet in anger upon hearing this.

"What did you say?" Princess Yifang asked as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

Behind the Star-Picking Tower is a powerful owner; they dare not make a move.

Therefore, the only option is to ask the top-ranked person each year for a lantern.

Unexpectedly, this year's champion was a child wearing a mask.

After getting the lamp, they disappeared in a short while.

They searched for a long time before finding that the lamp was hanging on the Shen family's carriage.

Inside the carriage, Shen Jinzhu felt both angry and powerless.

The same applies to the rest of the Shen family.

They were angry but dared not speak out.

After all, she was a county princess.

"Do you think you're so great just because your brother is the Marquis of Jing'an? Let me tell you, even if the Marquis of Jing'an were here, he would only give the lamp to my daughter." Princess Yifang looked at him angrily.

Yu Kangjing forced a smile and said, "My daughter is also Princess Ning Le's adopted daughter. I hope the county magistrate will give me some face."

Upon hearing the name of Princess Ning Le, Princess Yi Fang hesitated slightly.

Princess Ning Le was the daughter of Consort Huo, and was much more favored than her.

"Mother, I want this, waaaaaah! I want it!" Luo Shouning cried.

Ever since she could remember, the headlamp in the Star-Picking Tower had always been hers.

She had received it for three consecutive years, and now that it had suddenly been taken away by someone else, she was naturally unhappy.

She's going to brag about it to her girlfriends tomorrow.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Mother will definitely get it for you," Princess Yifang hurriedly comforted her daughter.

She then glared fiercely at Yu Kangjing: "She's just an adopted daughter, what's with her arrogance? Hurry up and bring the lantern, and I, the county magistrate, will let you off the hook. You'd better think carefully about the consequences of going against me."

"You'll be returning to the capital soon, won't you? But your father-in-law's family will have to stay in Hangzhou; they still need to do their business, right?"

Hearing this blatant threat, Yu Kangjing was furious.

The same applies to the Shen family.

Just then, a childish voice came from inside the carriage.

"Father, give it to her."

“Yaoyao, it’s all your fault for being useless.” Shen Jinzhu’s eyes instantly welled up with tears when she heard her daughter speak.

"It's okay, Mommy. I already have a pretty lantern, so let's give the other one to them." Yu Ningyao stretched out her little hands to wipe away her mother's tears.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

They can't confront Yifang County Head directly now, so it's best for them to retreat in time.

A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. Once she returns to the capital, she will complain to Princess Ning Le.

If Princess Ning Le doesn't help, then she'll wait until she becomes a favored concubine and then trick the emperor into helping her take revenge.

Hmph, she holds grudges.

"Look at you, a grown woman, you're not as sensible as a child." Upon hearing Yu Ningyao's words, Princess Yifang immediately ordered the lanterns to be taken away.

The atmosphere inside the carriage instantly fell silent.

Even after returning to the Shen family home, everyone still looked depressed.

Yu Ziheng felt extremely guilty: "I'm sorry, Yaoyao, I couldn't get the lamp for you, and I couldn't even protect it."

"It's okay. Anyway, we've all touched it, hehe. The lamp she got was an old one, the one we didn't want," Yu Ningyao replied with a smile.

These words made the children's eyes light up.

Yes.

The county magistrate's daughter only picked up the lamps that they had already played with.

What a big deal.

……

After visiting the lantern festival, Yun Chubai and Yun Shiyue prepared to return to the inn to rest before setting off on their journey the next day.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to the inn, I saw the lamp that I had given away.

"Didn't you give that lamp to Xiaoyao?" Yun Shiyue looked down at Yun Chubai with some surprise.

Yun Chubai had a sullen face and was very unhappy.

How could she give away the lantern he gave to Yu Ningyao so easily?

He went through a lot of trouble to get that lamp.

Didn't you say you really wanted it? You liar!

If she hadn't secretly given him gold and called him "brother," he wouldn't have given her the lantern.

Seeing his pursed lips and sullen expression, Yun Shiyue immediately guessed what he was thinking.

The Third Prince must have been unhappy that his first gift to someone was thrown away or given to someone else.

"Let's go over and see what's going on. Maybe there's some misunderstanding." Yun Shiyue pulled him forward.

"I'm not going, take it or leave it." That's what she said, but her body betrayed her and she walked toward the lanterns.

Yun Shiyue silently curled the corners of her lips and followed.

"Miss, did you really steal the lantern from the Marquis of Jing'an's brother this time?" a maid in the group asked cautiously.

"It's alright, the county princess is here, what could possibly happen?" another maid replied nonchalantly.

"Also, watch what you're saying. What do you mean by 'stealing'? They gave it to our young lady willingly."

Hearing their conversation, Yun Chubai immediately understood.

This lamp was not given voluntarily by Yu Ningyao; it was stolen by this so-called county princess's daughter.

His eyes instantly turned icy cold.

What he gave away wasn't so easily taken away.

Hopefully they won't regret it tomorrow.
