Chapter 89 The Prince and His Wife Live Together
Princess Anyang's Mansion.
"What? Murder case? Didn't you say it was no big deal and he would be released soon?" Princess Anyang was very angry.
The scholar bowed and apologized, "Your Highness, calm down! No one thought that Wang Gui would be killed... The trafficking had nothing to do with Chunyue Pavilion. Someone was setting us up..."
"Damn it! Chunyue Pavilion is my property. Who dares to go against me?" Princess Anyang was furious.
The scholar said, "It all started when the Crown Prince's wife of the Northern Palace reported the case. This might be... her method..."
"What? This ant-like thing actually dared to frame me?" Princess Anyang was shocked, and then became even more angry.
The scholar thought to himself, when a common man gets angry, blood can splatter five steps away.
It was too obvious last time you tricked her into going to the hot spring pool.
And I don’t know how much Chang told her.
You've almost killed someone, and you don't allow him to resist?
"Your Highness, please calm down. Xia Shijiaodan is already on her way to the capital. She is like a grasshopper in autumn and will not be able to jump for long." The scholar complained in his heart but appeared to be very respectful on the surface.
When mentioning Xia Shijiaodan, Princess Anyang's mood eased a little:
"A dying person is causing trouble for me. It's really an eyesore to let her jump around like this. This Dong Xiqin is useless, so let's change her. Let's find another one!"
"yes……"
"Go and tell Mingxinsi my message. Release my people immediately. What kind of murder case is this? Who is handling the case? Replace this person!" Princess Anyang said angrily.
The scholar replied, "The chief judge is Master Chu Jue, the commander of the Mingxin Division. He always likes to meddle in other people's affairs. This young man is ignorant. Once I go there, he will understand."
"Hurry up."
Princess Anyang was very angry.
She is the emperor's biological sister and has always been cared for by the empress dowager and the emperor. Who would not give face to the eldest princess?
…
The scholar went to Mingxinsi.
He was thrown out without even seeing Chu Jue.
Princess Anyang was so angry that she went to find Chu Jue's father...
This is a story for later.
…
Northern Palace, Jinyu Garden.
"Sister-in-law, good news! Mingxin Division has detained people from Chunyue Pavilion and is treating it as a homicide case..." Xie Ruojiao ran in excitedly.
She specially sent someone to inquire about the news from Mingxinsi.
As soon as I received the letter, I came to share the good news with Jiang Rong.
"Chu Jue is a good official." Jiang Rong chuckled and nodded.
"Yes, this guy used to be a playboy like my brother, skipping school every day. I didn't expect that he has become a good official who serves the people now." Xie Ruojiao agreed deeply.
The maid was tidying up the boxes and packing up the rouge and sachets that Jiang Rong often used.
"Huh? Sister-in-law, are you packing your luggage? Are you going on a long journey?" Xie Ruojiao asked curiously.
Jiang Rong nodded slightly, "I heard that the lotus flowers in the Qiaoshui area are very beautiful. My husband asked me to go and see them together."
"I want to go too!" Xie Ruojiao's eyes lit up and she immediately raised her hand.
If they really wanted to go sightseeing and appreciate the lotus, it would be fine to bring Xie Ruojiao with them. But they were going to do something important...
"No." A cold male voice came from outside the door.
Xie Lingxi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked in, surrounded by her attendants and maids.
"Why? I want to play with my sister-in-law too!" Xie Ruojiao held Jiang Rong's hand tightly.
It’s still more fun to play with my sister-in-law!
On weekdays, when I went to banquets, all I saw every day were wealthy ladies competing with each other to show off who had bought new jewelry and clothes, or whose father or brother had been promoted to a higher position. There was nothing new...
With Xie Ruojiao's background, everyone praised her. But she felt it was even more boring...
How could it be as thrilling as killing people and smashing a brothel with my sister-in-law!
She wants to play with her sister-in-law!
"Second Miss, the Crown Prince and his wife live together... they love each other so much, you understand, right?" Xiao Nanxing reminded at the right time.
Xie Ruojiao suddenly realized, and was reluctant to let go, but she could only nod:
"I understand. Then I won't bother my brother and sister-in-law. I'll wait for you to come back and play with me!"
"Okay." Jiang Rong responded.
Xie Ruojiao pulled Jiang Rong aside and talked a lot before leaving with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.
A while later.
Chushu came in to report, "Young Master, the things you want are already prepared."
Jiang Rong's eyes were bright, "Husband, let's go."
Before leaving, Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi went to pay their respects to the old concubine.
Women from noble families are not allowed to travel far or spend the night outside easily.
When traveling, one needs to ask permission from elders and be accompanied by one's father, brother or husband.
"Have fun. It's okay to stay for a few more days. There's no need to rush back." Old Concubine Xie smiled kindly. "It's hot and humid in the capital. It's just right to go outside and enjoy the flowers."
Jiang Rong smiled and replied.
"By the way, about the Chunyue Pavilion case..." Old Concubine Xie was obviously also paying attention to the disturbance caused by the young couple. She looked at Jiang Rong and said:
"Don't worry. Grandmother is watching you. Princess Anyang will definitely put pressure on Mingxin Division, but we in the Northern Palace can do the same."
The original plan was to put pressure on Mingxinsi in the name of Xie Lingxi to prevent Mingxinsi from favoring the Princess's Mansion.
And now, Old Concubine Xie is going to show up in person...
"Grandma, you..."
"Good children, you are doing the right thing, and your family should support you." Old Concubine Xie smiled and touched her head:
"I know a little about Princess Anyang's temperament. She is vindictive. If you seal Chunyue Pavilion, she will not let it go. I will let her know that you are someone we, the Northern Palace, are protecting. No one can bully the Crown Prince's Consort of the Northern Palace."
Jiang Rong felt warm in her heart, "Thank you, Grandma..."
"Go out and play. Tell grandma if you have anything. She will support you." Old Concubine Xie said with a smile.
…
One day later.
Qiaoshui area, Lotus Town.
A convoy escorting goods was rushing along the official road.
“Bang—”
The servant who was pulling the cart lost his footing and fell to the ground.
"You bastard, you broke the treasure in the car. Your life is not enough to compensate for it." Sun Dagui whipped the servant and said angrily.
Because the flowers are delicate and cannot withstand the bumps, they cannot be transported in a horse-drawn carriage.
Mianzhou is mountainous, and the most stable way to cross the mountains and ridges is to use people to pull the cart...
"Sir, we are all tired after a whole day's journey. Can we please take a break? We are all unable to stand." An elderly servant begged humbly.
Sun Dagui stepped on his chest and said, "You bastard! These flowers are sent to the Princess's residence. Who do you think you are? How dare you delay the noble's business! You must rush to the capital before sunset tomorrow!"
Sun Dagui is the son of the manager of Mianzhou Villa.
There was unexpectedly a Xia Shi Jiao Dan plant in the villa. This was a godsend, so the manager asked his son to lead the team to claim the reward.
"Master, don't bother with the lowly people." The maid fanned him with a fan:
"It's hot, please get into the carriage to avoid the heat."
Sun Dagui put his arm around her, turned around and got on the carriage, then turned back and urged, "Hurry up, if you can't reach the capital before sunset tomorrow, you won't be able to return alive!"
The servants were so frightened that they pulled the cart desperately.
Sun Dagui and his maid were being intimate in the carriage.
The maid asked tenderly, "Master, I heard that you will get a big reward this time!"
"Of course not. This time I am going to be very successful. Unfortunately, I can only meet the steward. If I could meet the eldest princess, I wonder what good things she would reward me with if she was happy." Sun Dagui sighed.
At this moment, he heard the sound of gongs from afar and someone shouted, "The princess is leaving, pedestrians please get out of the way!"
