Chapter 103 Fu Yi laughed in anger
"Jiang was born into the Yanshi Jiang family. Their ancestors were once a prominent family. However, they fell into decline during the previous dynasty after offending the powerful Empress Yang. Until this dynasty, they have been favored by the emperor again and have gradually built up their wealth in the imperial capital."
In the carriage, Fu Yi spoke slowly.
"So Wei Yanhua's mother's family is not bad?" Cheng Nianying asked.
Qin Yurong, who was forcibly brought along, was sitting nearby and felt a little numb when she heard this conversation.
How come you still have the time to talk about this in detail?
"Not only is it not bad, it is far better than the Wei family."
"Then why is Wei Yanhua not living a good life?" Cheng Nianying frowned slightly.
"The aristocratic families still have outdated customs. They don't care about their daughters after they get married."
"But if they suffer in the Wei family, wouldn't that also damage the Jiang family's reputation?"
Cheng Nianying remembered that the nobles clearly valued their reputation very much.
"Jiang's marriage to the Wei family has already hurt the Jiang family's reputation, so why would they care about it anymore?"
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips: "Then today..."
"After all, she's already passed away. I guess the Jiang family will prepare a funeral, but nothing else. Wei Yanhua will definitely want to bury Jiang back at the Jiang family, but the Jiang family won't allow it. This will naturally lead to a conflict."
"Then let's go..."
Fu Yi saw that her words no longer contained any hint of rejection or alienation, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Although I have the title of a prince, I cannot ask the Jiang family to bow their heads."
Cheng Nianying looked at him steadily.
He must have another way.
He definitely has.
Fu Yi suddenly lowered his head and rolled up her sleeves, took a look and asked, "Didn't you have a good meal this morning?"
Cheng Nianying resisted the urge to pull her hand away and said, "It's delicious."
"I'll watch you eat tonight."
This statement seems to have ulterior motives.
Cheng Nianying squeezed out a word from her mouth: "Hmm."
Fu Yi smiled faintly: "You take good care of your injuries, so that I can think about others."
Cheng Nianying wanted to strangle him.
Fu Yi didn't tease her any more and continued, "Since His Majesty has allowed her to establish her own business, she has a lot of room to maneuver. It's just that she doesn't understand the rules, which is why she's stuck."
"She can simply apply for a plot of land from the household office, which will serve as her final resting place, as well as that of her descendants. This way, she won't be in trouble with the Wei family, and she won't have to beg the Jiang family for mercy."
"Household room?" Cheng Nianying looked at Fu Yi with curiosity.
Not only Wei Yanhua didn't understand, Cheng Nianying knew nothing at all.
"The household registration office is where each prefecture manages household registration. Of course, land is expensive in the capital, and even in the neighboring counties, land is in short supply."
"Although she has established her own family, she has no one to rely on. Why would anyone give her land?"
"In addition, in addition to finding the household registration office, we also need to establish a relationship with the criminal justice office."
Cheng Nianying listened carefully and interrupted to ask, "Why?"
"Because the Criminal Court also handles land disputes, if she doesn't want to be targeted and cause trouble in the future, she has to handle both."
After Fu Yi finished speaking, he also told her the organizational structure of each prefecture and county, as well as the scope of affairs involved.
These were things Qin Yurong had never heard of before.
Qin Yurong was also listening intently, and couldn't help but think of her sweetheart again.
He had never said these to me... This Prince Danshuo was indeed very different.
Even if she was afraid of Prince Danshuo, Qin Yurong suddenly realized why her parents were unwilling to give up the marriage with the Prince's Mansion...
Perhaps the predicament of the Marquis' Mansion can really be easily solved by Prince Danshuo.
When Qin Yurong came back to her senses after being distracted, Fu Yi had already finished talking to Cheng Nianying.
At this time, Wu Xun's voice came from outside the carriage: "Master, we're here."
Fu Yi helped Cheng Nianying out of the carriage.
Qin Yurong naturally fell behind.
Without the threat of assassins, life became peaceful again.
…
When the prince arrived in person, the servants of the Wei family hurried in to report.
Fu Yi raised his hand and pressed it down: "It's not the first time you come here, just lead the way."
The servants dared not disobey and had to lead the way.
Fu Yi continued to talk to Cheng Nianying in a gentle tone, "As the saying goes, it's easy to see the King of Hell, but hard to deal with little devils. Even if Wei Yanhua knew where to go, she might not have a way to do it."
Cheng Nianying frowned: "Why is it so troublesome?"
"That's how things are in this world. Even the smallest of places has its own rules. To highlight their importance, they make the rules as complex as possible.
"So that outsiders can't even get a glimpse of its methods.
“Therefore, if one can climb the path, then it is considered valuable.”
When Fu Yi said this, Cheng Nianying saw a calm look on his face.
So... is he the one who controls all the rules of the world?
When she reached the gate of the courtyard, Cheng Nianying heard the sound inside.
"You should have invited guests today, why make such a scene?" It was the voice of a middle-aged man.
"So this is just a fuss in my uncle's eyes." Wei Yanhua said with a suppressed smile.
The smile was obviously inappropriate and revealed a hint of madness.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said disappointedly: "Your mother didn't teach you well."
Wei Yanhua's eyelids twitched twice. She got up from the ground and stared at the person in front of her who should be a relative, but didn't feel like a relative at all...
She clenched her fists.
"Master Jiang." Fu Yi's voice sounded.
The middle-aged man's back trembled, apparently recognizing Fu Yi's voice. He immediately turned around and bowed, "Greetings, Prince Danshuo."
Suddenly, people knelt on the ground.
Wei Yanhua's clenched hands loosened the moment she saw Cheng Nianying.
"Why is the prince here?" the middle-aged man was surprised.
The reason why he was sent on this mission was because his status in the Jiang family was also average.
Those of high status would even disdain to step through this door to save face.
In front of Prince Danshuo, the man was obviously not good enough.
Fu Yi lowered his head and coughed twice.
Cheng Nianying pricked up her ears. She was pretending.
Fu Yi then said, "I came here to pay my respects to the Princess."
The man's expression was subtle for a moment.
He sighed softly, "How lucky I am to have the prince come to offer his condolences."
He turned around, feeling as if he were at home: "Yanhua, why don't you invite the Prince and Princess to sit down?"
Wei Yanhua was touched, but also felt like mocking him.
She walked closer: "Please."
The middle-aged man stayed at the Wei family.
The Wei family simply set up a table with some light wine, and the mourning hall was nearby, but Fu Yi didn't even frown, so naturally it was not the man's turn to say anything.
The middle-aged man kept talking about what matters the princes and the emperors had been involved in recently and what was the most difficult problem...
Fu Yi responded slowly and intermittently.
Wu Xun was speechless after hearing this.
This Lord Jiang's speech was not very eloquent. In the past, how could the master have the patience to listen to his stupid words?
Thinking of this, Wu Xun secretly glanced at Cheng Nianying.
The master has wasted so much time, can he finally enter the yard tonight?
I don't know how long we talked.
Someone ran in from outside the courtyard gate: "Fifth Master."
This is calling Mr. Jiang.
"The old man sent a message."
Master Jiang Wu sat up straight: "Hurry up and tell me."
"The old master said that he is grateful for the cousin's filial piety. He will allow the aunt to return home for burial."
There was no trace of surprise on Mr. Jiang Wu's face.
He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, father is still resolute. Let's do it this way."
How ridiculous!
Wei Yanhua's expression twisted for a moment. What then was the previous argument?
Cheng Nianying couldn't help but look at the person who came to deliver the message. He seemed to have been following Mr. Jiang Wu before.
Did he immediately go back to the Jiang family to report after meeting the Prince?
Fu Yi's face is really useful.
He said he couldn't force the Jiang family, but the Jiang family immediately bowed their heads.
She couldn't help but turn to look at Fu Yi.
Fu Yi: “…”
He didn't expect the Jiang family to be so willing to kneel.
It actually delayed his business.
——He still wanted to slowly hook the Princess back into the trap.
"Go ahead, don't miss the time." Fu Yi stood up and was about to take Cheng Nianying back home without any interest.
"Wait." Wei Yanhua took two steps forward, her sarcasm subsided, and her voice trembled slightly. "I wonder if the Princess's hand... is okay?"
Cheng Nianying didn't flirt with Wei Yanhua.
That day, she just did what she wanted to do.
"Okay," she said.
Wei Yanhua nodded repeatedly, trembling: "Okay, okay, that's good, that's good."
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Farewell, Prince and Princess."
Cheng Nianying looked at her.
Does this count as her friend?
Cheng Nianying didn't know, but she felt reluctant in her heart.
We say farewell today, perhaps we will never see each other again.
Fortunately, I just happened to finish the last thing that happened to Wei Yanhua.
Cheng Nianying lowered her head and walked out slowly.
*
Cheng Nianying kept her word and had dinner with Fu Yi.
The two also read together under the lamp.
The candlelight turned into a shimmering color and fell between Cheng Nianying's eyebrows.
When she came across something difficult to understand, she bit her lower lip unconsciously. The lips, bitten repeatedly, became moist and plump.
Fu Yi put down the book at some point, his eyes falling on her lips.
This is extremely strange.
After this extremely intimate connection, every part of the girl's body became more attractive, as if she was constantly emitting the scent of lust.
He walked forward, pressed down the page of the book she was reading, and put his other hand on her lips: "Stop biting."
Cheng Nianying's back tensed, and she asked in a muffled voice, "Is it getting late?"
"Um."
Cheng Nianying turned to look at him, her eyes flickering: "Then I... go take a shower and change clothes."
Fu Yi let go of his hand and felt better: "Yeah."
Cheng Nianying broke away from his arms, lifted her skirt and went out. The maids surrounded her and took her to the side room to take a bath.
Fu Yi sat inside the door, staring at her figure reflected on the window.
The figure passed by, and in a blink of an eye, only the darkness outside was left.
At that moment, the thought that it was difficult to catch her flashed through my mind.
Fu Yi suppressed his thoughts and opened a new volume of the book.
I don’t know how long this wait will take.
Fu Yi felt something was wrong and immediately called someone in to ask, "Is the Princess not finished bathing yet?"
The maid trembled: "She washed early in the morning, and then... left."
“…”
Fu Yi laughed out of anger for once.
Good, very good. Let him in today and let him stay here.
She ran away on her own!
*
Cheng Nianying came to find Qin Yurong.
Mother Zou turned on the light and was startled: "How, how could you come to the servants' room..."
Cheng Nianying: "Only one night."
She walked in and found that Qin Yurong was still awake, with her eyes wide open, not knowing what she was thinking.
Not until Cheng Nianying came to her side did she turn around and ask, "How did you get to know Miss Wei?"
Cheng Nianying briefly explained the process.
Qin Yurong was a little angry when she found out that Wei Yanhua was also one of his lovers, but she calmed down when she thought of her pitiful situation.
"She's very grateful to you today."
"It must feel good to save someone."
"She came to that man for her mother's sake."
Qin Yurong muttered to herself, her expression changing as she spoke.
Finally, she grabbed the tassels beside the bed and made up her mind: "I can't act like this anymore. I have to take responsibility for my family. I can't leave the Prince's Mansion. I have to stay."
"Maybe you are right. The prince is very good."
"Perhaps the assassin really did slander him..."
Cheng Nianying was stunned when she heard this.
She slowly lowered her eyes: "Well, since you've made up your mind, why not try changing it back tomorrow?"
"Then we have to find a way to leave the house and see the disguise master, so that he can change our appearance..."
"No, I can."
