"After much trouble, I finally met Uncle Gu, offered him some favors, and after listening to my request, he agreed to help."
Tao Yuwei picked up the teacup again.
Fang wanted to hear the final result, so she stood up suddenly, rushed over, grabbed her granddaughter's wrist and stopped her from drinking tea.
"Did he tell you when your elder brother would go to work?"
Tao Yuwei didn't bother with her and simply decided not to continue drinking the tea.
"You can start your work tomorrow."
Upon hearing the good news, Fang laughed out loud, "This is great news. No, I'm going to the ancestral hall to burn incense for my ancestors and tell them that Chuan'er has made it big."
Second Aunt Sun's face was also filled with joy.
She is usually very polite to Tao Yuwei. Of course she has to express her gratitude since her eldest son got a very promising job with the help of her niece.
"Thank you for your hard work, Yuwei. When your second uncle comes back, I'll invite you to have dinner in our yard."
Tao Yuwei waved her hand nonchalantly, stood up, and walked towards the door of Songming Hall.
My eldest cousin Tao Baichuan sat in the chair and laughed foolishly for a long time.
His future was finally settled. If he had known that his cousin Princess Anle was more reliable than his uncle, he might have become successful long ago.
My cousin is quite capable as she was able to persuade Uncle Gu to help him find a job.
Everyone in the imperial city knows that Uncle Gu is a close minister of the emperor, in charge of the emperor's internal guards, and his sister is the empress. The Gu family is a century-old prestigious family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and ordinary people cannot see them.
Later, whenever he had trouble, he would first go to his cousin to plead for him. Although she had a bad temper, she was easy to coax.
"Thank you for your concern, sister. When I get my salary, I will invite you to have dinner at Xiang Man Lou. You can order whatever you want."
Tao Baichuan followed her with a silly smile on his face and complimented her.
Tao Yuwei stopped and turned around and said happily, "Okay, you must remember what you said. This princess is looking forward to your treat."
Xiangmanlou is one of the most expensive restaurants in the entire capital. She has only heard of it and has never been willing to go there for a good meal.
When the time comes, she will definitely take the opportunity to have a big meal.
Tao Baichuan thought that he would soon be working in the palace with the powerful sons of the capital and becoming the emperor's personal guard. His future was bright.
Being able to become a Royal Guard, the salary is of course very generous.
He nodded excitedly, "I will definitely not forget it."
Tao Yuwei received a positive answer, and a slight smile appeared on her somewhat childish face.
Just as I was about to say something, I was interrupted by the sound of footsteps.
Everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of Songming Hall.
I saw more than a dozen Xiaoyu guards wearing uniform black clothes blocking the door in an instant.
"Who is Princess Anle?" Xiao Yuwei's commander, Liu Zuoyi, walked past Tao Yuwei with a stern expression and entered the hall.
When the general's wife, Mrs. Wu, received the news, she followed closely and hurried back.
My husband went out to court early in the morning and hasn't returned yet.
If Xiao Yuwei broke into the house, something big must have happened.
Of course, Fang and the second wife's mother and son who were present also thought of this.
It can't be a good thing to have Xiao Yuwei come to your door.
As a sword beside the emperor, it is on par with the six ministries in the court. It has great power and can arrest anyone without a public trial.
Could it be that this troublemaker from the old family has caused a huge disaster outside?
When Fang thought of this, her face turned ashen.
Her eldest grandson had just gotten a good job, and she couldn't let everything be ruined because of the mistake made by this little bitch.
If the second wife's family were implicated, she would regret it to death.
The joy on Sun and Tao Baichuan's faces disappeared completely. Their legs were shaking with fear. They looked at Fang with horror, not knowing what to do.
What good things has their Princess Anle done outside?
"I am Anle."
Tao Yuwei retracted her steps on the way out the door, turned around, sat down again with a calm expression, and spoke nonchalantly.
Mrs. Wu was frightened by her daughter's indifferent attitude.
"The master wants to question you, please cooperate."
His Majesty's men came personally to find her, which shows that my daughter has done something wrong.
Seeing that her mother was worried about her, Tao Yuwei gave her a comforting look.
"What are you afraid of? Even a commander-in-chief needs to bow to me."
I haven't done anything that would anger anyone recently.
How could Liu Zuoyi not know the name of Princess Anle?
He came here on a mission ordered by the emperor.
Before coming here, I had received orders from my superiors that anyone suspected of participating in hunting with the Ninth Prince must be dealt with severely.
In his eyes, there are only two kinds of people: suspects and criminals.
"Princess Anle is suspected of murdering the prince. Please come with us to the prison."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang collapsed on the ground in fear.
It's over. This girl is so bold that she actually dares to attack the prince. She wants to destroy the General's Mansion.
Mrs. Wu didn't expect that her daughter would make such a big mistake.
Given the girl's domineering and violent behavior, she is capable of harming the prince.
Everything went dark before Wu could fall down and lose consciousness, but Tao Yuwei quickly caught her.
"Mom, I'm fine. Look how scared you are."
These people are going too far. How can they just convict her of a crime?
Liu Zuoyi glanced at Tao Yuwei and her daughter impatiently.
"Princess Anle, please stop wasting time. It would be wise for you to come with me!"
She helped Wu sit down on the chair with an expression that said, "You dare not do anything to me?"
It’s not that she can’t see the situation clearly and doesn’t know how to bow her head.
This person's attitude is too extreme. Don't think that anyone can show off in front of her. This trick won't work on her.
Tao Yuwei's eyes were cold and she spoke rudely, "Who is more unwise than me to kneel before this princess and show such arrogance?"
After hearing this, Fang finally reacted in fear.
This girl is in great trouble, yet she is still so overbearing.
No, she couldn't wait until the girl from the first wife was convicted before distancing herself from the matter. If she did, she would definitely be implicated and wouldn't be able to escape.
"Please give me some time to finish my family affairs. It won't be too late for you to take Yuwei away."
Fang forced herself to cheer up, stood up with the help of Ma Ma, and pleaded politely.
Liu Zuoyi saw that Princess Anle was indeed not someone to be trifled with.
"Okay, I'll give you a cup of tea to take care of your household chores."
He lifted his robe, sat down casually, and signaled the maid to bring tea.
After receiving Fang's gaze, all the maids in the hall retreated.
All the servants had left, but there were still outsiders left, and Fang Shi couldn't care less.
She must make a decisive decision.
"Eldest brother's wife, according to the ancestral tradition, your second brother and his family should have separated and lived on their own long ago. It was I, an old woman, who was greedy and wanted to let the brothers live together and enjoy their old age. Now, Baichuan is old enough to start a family, and I don't want him to still rely on the eldest uncle to worry about everything for him. So, I decided to let you separate today. Do you have any objections?"
