The lights in Prince Ding's mansion were bright.
When Xiao Huaiqing sent someone to invite Lin Xin, several of his colleagues from the Ministry of Works happened to be there. They thought that Prince Ding's Mansion was grateful for the carpentry work they had done for the resettlement, so they happily came together.
When Xiao Huaiqing saw that there were four or five of them, how could he start? He just treated them to good food and wine. As he was a prince, he rarely had to attend social events. He vomited after just a few minutes of sitting down.
When he made an excuse to rest, he was actually drunk and woke up drowsily at dusk.
It would be fine if Lin Yue hadn't come back yet, but those people were still drinking with Lin Xin.
Aunt Zhang from the kitchen cried and said that she had killed three chickens to entertain the guests, but they still weren't full.
Nanny Wang didn't know that Xiao Huaiqing wanted to deal with Lin Yue and would start with Lin Xin.
She thought Xiao Huaiqing had come to his senses and wanted to join the Ministry of Works, so she scolded Aunt Zhang, "You only ate three, even if you ate thirty, you should go and do it. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Can you afford to pay for delaying the prince's important work?"
"You are such a fool! The prince is being dragged down by you."
Aunt Zhang didn't dare to say a word and went back to make roast chicken.
Nanny Wang was still saying behind her, "Our young master is a man of great potential. Why would he do a business that would lose money? It's obvious that he wants to go to the Ministry of Works."
"The Ministry of Industry is great! They've taken away the Lin family's future power. Let's see how arrogant Lin Yue can be!"
When Su Yingyue heard that they were entertaining Lin Xin and a group of officials from the Ministry of Works, she was wondering why they didn't leave even after dark.
When she walked to the corridor and heard what Wang Ma said, she immediately understood.
Is Xiao Huaiqing planning to start with Lin Xin and use something against Lin Xin to threaten Lin Yue?
If he really succeeds, Lin Yue will not be forced to have anything to do with him in the future, right?
Su Yingyue was shocked and wanted to find Luo Qingyu to report the news.
At this time, Luo Qingyu was following Xiao Huaiqing closely, secretly wanting to protect him.
But who knew that Xiao Huaiqing didn't appreciate it at all. Since Luo Qingyu didn't invite Lin Yue back, he vented all his resentment on Luo Qingyu.
"Don't think that just because you and I grew up drinking the same mother's milk, you and I are the same person. I am the prince of the palace, and you are just a servant. If I promote you, you will be the commander of the palace guards. If I don't promote you, you won't even have the right to empty the toilet."
"I've seen many people like you. You think you can disobey my orders by climbing up the ladder, but the one you climbed up to is now in trouble."
"Luo Qingyu, I'll give you another chance. Go find Lin Yue."
"If I don't see her tonight, you and your mother will have to get out of the palace tomorrow."
After Xiao Huaiqing finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Luo Qingyu stood in the middle of the yard, looking wooden, with no extra expression on his face, except that his eyes seemed a little dull.
Then his expression dimmed again, and he curled the corners of his mouth in bitterness.
Su Yingyue felt worried for him. Nanny Wang always treated her as the prince's confidante and tried to make things difficult for her everywhere.
But in the eyes of the prince, her son is not even a human being.
Therefore, even the sincere Nanny Wang could not win any mercy from the prince.
So what about her?
While Su Yingyue was stunned, a servant came and reported: "Commander Luo, the princess has returned. I want you to go see her."
Luo Qingyu quickly calmed down and went to the main room. When Su Yingyue saw this scene, she couldn't help but be shocked.
Lin Yue came back as expected.
Su Yingyue immediately said to Lianyun, the head maid beside her, "Go to the front hall and tell those adults who are drinking that it's getting late and we won't keep them anymore."
"Add some silver and tell them that the prince and I had a quarrel and ask for their forgiveness."
"Anyway, send him away as soon as possible."
Lianyun understood and left quickly.
Su Yingyue stood there for a while and decided to go to the main room to see Lin Yue.
But when she got there, she found that there were more guards today than usual, and they actually blocked her way.
"Move aside, I am the Crown Prince's Consort, and I am here to pay my respects to Mother."
The guard said coldly: "No one can enter without the princess's summons!"
Su Yingyue originally wanted to remind Lin Yue that Lin Xin had been sent away by her, but she didn't expect Lin Yue to be so cold and unwilling to see her.
Maybe Lin Yue did it on purpose and wanted to take the opportunity to hook up with Xiao Huaiqing.
This shameless woman will lose her reputation sooner or later!
Su Yingyue left angrily.
The guard took a look and then walked in to report, "Princess, the Crown Prince's wife just came. As you said before, she won't see anyone, so she has left."
"She looked angry, though."
Lin Yue said: "Don't worry about her."
The guards immediately withdrew.
The Queen stepped forward and asked, "Could she be here to tip off someone?"
Lin Yue said: "I can't rule out this possibility, but it's not necessary."
"Xiao Huaiqing won't let me go if he knows I'm back."
"Qingyu, go see if my eldest brother and the others have left. If not, please see them off."
[No matter how much of a jerk Xiao Huaiqing is, I can't let him lose his reputation. Otherwise, the entire Dingwang Mansion will suffer losses, which is not worth it.]
Luo Qingyu nodded and was about to leave when Xiao Huaizheng arrived.
"No need, Su Yingyue has already sent them away."
Lin Yue asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Huaizheng said: "I heard that my cousin was back, so I thought of coming to see him. Who knew it was such a coincidence that the Queen Auntie was back too."
As Xiao Huai was speaking, a silly smile appeared on his face.
Just as he was laughing, he saw the queen and was suddenly startled.
The queen was speechless when she saw how frightened he was. How could he be called a villain?
