On her wedding day, Jiang Xuelin, who had eloped, received good news – her fiancé, the heir of Prince Ping, Fu Hanlai, was also dissatisfied with the marriage and had eloped.
Jiang Xuelin ...
There was no rush to take Li Wenruo to see Prince Ping and his wife. After all, Prince Ping and his wife knew when they ordered the servants to clean up the small courtyard. Moreover, Princess Ping was in charge of the household affairs, so it was impossible for her not to know about Li Wenruo's existence. It was just that the young girl was timid, so Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai decided to go and talk to Princess Ping first.
Even if they know, they still have to say it.
After talking with Li Wenruo for a while, Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai left. Hongluo stayed behind as usual and continued to serve as the young girl's head maid for the time being. With Hongluo around, Li Wenruo felt a little more at ease staying in the Prince's Mansion.
Princess Ping indeed knew that Hongluo had brought Li Wenruo back to the mansion.
"I think that the Chengyi Earl's Mansion will definitely want Wenruo dead next, in order to cover up what they have done. Now that the Emperor has defined foot binding as lust and a vicious and twisted mind, they would never dare to let anyone know that they have bound Wenruo's feet."
Princess Ping nodded, feeling some pity for the girl, but as for stopping her, that was out of the question.
Her son and daughter-in-law did nothing wrong; they were only trying to save a young girl's life. Besides, the royal palace would eventually be handed over to them anyway, so they wouldn't need to make their presence felt when they did the right thing.
"In that case, I'll leave that to Lin'er. I won't send anyone over. You can handle it yourselves."
"By the way, I received a visiting card from the Marquis of Jing'an's residence this morning. Your mother said she wants to come and see you."
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
It immediately went limp.
Just moments ago, Jiang Xuelin was full of vigor and seemed fearless, but now she looked like a scolded cat. Upon seeing her like this, Princess Ping couldn't help but burst out laughing.
We still have to thank the younger sister.
"Does Mother know when Your Majesty will arrive?"
"Tomorrow."
"That's good." Jiang Xuelin breathed a sigh of relief; she was going out today.
Since marrying into the Prince of Ping's mansion, she goes out much more often than she did when she was in the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion.
However, she did have something to do today. After arriving at the Prince Ping's residence, Li Wenruo needed to go to the shop to explain some things and discuss some matters with others.
It would be even better if Li Wenfeng could come out, but Jiang Xuelin felt that he shouldn't be able to come out at this time.
Princess Ping guessed what they were going to do, so she didn't stop them and waved them away.
When they arrived at the shop, Li Wenfeng was indeed not there.
They had originally planned that there would be an impeachment by the censor in the court in the next two days, and the Empress Dowager would also issue an imperial edict. They had agreed to meet today, but in the end, everyone else arrived, but Li Wenfeng did not appear. They sent a servant over and said that Li Wenfeng had made a mistake and was reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors.
In this way, there was no way to get Li Wenruo's message across.
However, knowing that Li Wenruo had been brought out, Li Wenfeng probably felt a little more at ease.
These people are similar to Jiang Xuelin; almost all of them are spoiled by their families, and most of them are only a little bit fleshy, with the rest being rebellious.
Furthermore, these people now possess a talent for causing trouble and a sense of justice. The plight of their own friends has clearly made these fearless spoiled brats, who have someone leading them and someone backing them up, extremely dissatisfied.
The Marquis of Chengyi's residence?
If it weren't for their good relationship with Li Wenfeng, these people wouldn't have taken the Chengyi Earl's Mansion seriously at all. They were a family that had fallen so low that no one in the court spoke up for them, and they didn't have many relatives by marriage.
Get him! Get him!
We must get Li Wenfeng out of here as soon as possible!
At this point, there were only two or three days left until the next episode of "The Sun Shines Brightly".
"Wen Feng should be out of danger, he's just restricted and can't go out. Let's see if the Chengyi Earl's Mansion makes any moves." Fan Yundi handed An Ying a tangerine, peeled it, and put it in her hand.
This is An Ying's first time here.
An Ying is the only daughter in the An family, and she is now married. With Fan Yundi's support and Jiang Xuelin's presence, the Fan family doesn't insist on keeping her locked up at home. She can come out for some fresh air occasionally.
An Ying was clearly a little nervous since it was her first time there. She leaned against Jiang Xuelin and didn't say anything, just listened to their discussion.
Fan Yundi sat on the other side of An Ying, while Fu Hanlai sat on the other side of Jiang Xuelin, discussing the upcoming arrangements with Yu Bo and the others.
Let's make a scene! Let's make a scene!
This matter is clearly going to escalate. Currently, there's still some room for impeachment in the court. In the end, it's just a matter of men's preferences, but these preferences are quite harmful to women. But what does this have to do with those scholar-officials?
Even if some people see what the future holds if this trend continues, not many people are truly concerned, and not many consider it a big deal.
A trigger point is needed.
The Chengyi Earl's Mansion.
That's the explosive point that Jiang Xuelin and his team chose.
Then things won't be handled so lightly anymore.
Jiang Xuelin had no idea how many more were hidden in the capital.
This winter has been blessed with favorable weather and no major disasters have occurred. Now that the year is drawing to a close, there are not many important matters to be discussed in the court, which is a perfect opportunity.
Jiang Xuelin had something on her mind, so she didn't linger there for too long. After discussing things to the point of exhaustion, she hurried back.
—Her mother is coming tomorrow!
Even though Jiang Xuelin felt she hadn't done anything wrong, she was still very nervous and guilty when she learned that the Lady of Jing'an Marquis was coming to visit.
She had this feeling every time her mother came to visit.
After all... she remembered that when she got married, her mother earnestly instructed her that she must be careful with her words and actions when she arrived at the Prince Ping's residence, and never act as she did at home.
Be careful with your words and actions...
Hmm.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xuelin's unusual mood clearly caught Fu Hanlai's attention, and he asked casually.
"My mother is coming to see us tomorrow."
Fu Hanlai: "..."
The snacks in my mouth no longer tasted good.
That's very strange.
That was clearly Jiang Xuelin's mother, and she was gentle and loving, but for some reason, Fu Hanlai was still afraid of her.
That shouldn't be the case.
He didn't show that same cautious fear towards his mother, so why was he so... towards the Lady of Jing'an Marquis?
Mingming always treated him very well, with a gentle and kind demeanor.
"Jiang Xuelin, who are you talking about 'us'? Your mother-in-law is here to see you, she has nothing to do with me. Don't try to drag me into this, she's here to see you!"
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
We were all in this together when things were getting out of hand, but now it's none of your business?
"Mother-in-law? Who's your mother-in-law? Who are you calling mother-in-law! It's one thing in front of my mother, but why are you calling her that in private!"
They themselves knew perfectly well what was going on with the marriage.
They wouldn't admit that her mother came to cause trouble for the two of them!
Pooh!
Fu Hanlai: "..."
Suddenly, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
