Chapter 146: Pitting Yourself
Yuan Qifeng walked into the main hall and gave Chen Mu a cold look, which made Chen Mu sweat on his back.
Yuan Qifeng had fought in the battlefield for many years, and Chen Mu, a civil servant who lived a life of singing and dancing, could not withstand such a glare.
"Just take the things back!" Yuan Qifeng said, "We're not after your things, but we want you to give us an explanation. As for wanting my daughter to forgive someone who intentionally hurt her, that's wishful thinking!"
At this moment, Chen Mu immediately understood what he meant and said hurriedly, "Yes, General Yuan, when I get back, I will send the third girl to the family temple and let her reflect on her mistakes."
In the Dali Dynasty, if a girl was sent to the ancestral temple, it meant that the girl had lost her moral character and had committed a serious mistake. Even if she returned from the ancestral temple one day, her reputation would be ruined, and she would not be able to marry into a good family in the future.
This punishment is quite severe, and it is also equivalent to clearing Yuan Ziyu's name.
After hearing this, Chen Yao couldn't help but feel completely hopeless. Her life was completely over...
No one objected to what Chen Mu said.
Upon seeing this, Chen Mu knew that Lord Huo and General Yuan would not pursue the matter against him anymore, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He also knew that General Yuan would definitely not accept the gift he had given, so he hurriedly asked the servant to take the gift and planned to take Chen Yao away to say goodbye.
He had made plans to send someone to send Chen Yao to the ancestral temple early tomorrow morning. As for whether she could come back, it depended on her luck. Anyway, he had more than one daughter, so one less would not make a difference.
"Wait!" Yuan Qifeng thought for a moment and then spoke.
"General Yuan!" Chen Mu was so frightened by Yuan Qifeng's voice that his heart started pounding. He quickly turned around and responded.
"Let your daughter stay at home for a day or two. If the Taifu Mansion needs your daughter to testify, I hope you can cooperate!" Yuan Qifeng said to Chen Mu.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Chen Mu said yes three times in a row. Seeing that no one was talking to him anymore, he hurriedly said goodbye and left with Chen Yao.
"Brother Yuan, I guess Miss Liu San must have gone into the palace to look for the imperial concubine!" After Chen Mu left, Huo Lixiu pondered for a moment and said.
"Well, what Brother Huo said is absolutely right!" Yuan Qifeng nodded and said, "I thought so too. I guess Imperial Tutor Liu will come to the palace tomorrow."
"That's right!" Huo Lixiu said, "That Concubine Liu is not a simple person. I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns in this matter!"
"Hmph!" Yuan Qifeng snorted, "Even if there is another twist, I must give my You'er justice!"
"That's exactly what we need to do. We'll just have to adapt to the situation when the time comes!" Huo Lixiu said with narrowed eyes.
"Well, that's the only way!" Yuan Qifeng nodded. If Concubine Liu was involved, then this matter would involve the palace, so one must be cautious.
After a while, the two families talked for a while, and then the Marquis Xuanping and his wife said goodbye and left, while Huo Xifei stayed.
Naturally, everyone knew who Huo Xifei stayed for, so they all tactfully found excuses to leave. Before leaving, Yuan Zining even winked at Huo Xifei in a teasing manner.
Of course, Huo Xifei ignored it!
Yuan Ziyu took Huo Xifei to the garden, where there was a pavilion next to the lake. Now that spring was in full bloom, it was a perfect time to sit in the pavilion and enjoy the scenery.
Pingshan, Qingying and Qingzhi stood guard outside the pavilion.
Pingshan smiled and said to Qingying and Qingzhi, "I guess my master must be comforting Miss Yuan Er."
Qingzhi tilted his head and said, "My second daughter is the strongest and bravest."
"You don't understand. No matter how strong a woman is, she still needs a man to comfort her!" Pingshan said with an expression of someone who has experienced it. "It's only natural for a man to comfort a woman, especially the one he loves. No matter how strong a woman is, she has to be soft in front of the man she loves."
"Ah?" Qingzhi turned and looked at Pingshan: "You are very experienced. Have you ever comforted a woman?"
"I..." Pingshan coughed lightly, "Of course I don't have any, but I've never eaten pork, but I've seen a pig run, haven't I?"
"You still have time to see these?" Qingzhi looked at Pingshan in confusion: "Don't you usually just follow the prince?"
"Of course I..." Pingshan paused. He had only seen the Marquis comforting the Marquis's wife, but he couldn't tell this to Qingzhi, otherwise it would be considered as talking about the Marquis's family affairs behind his back.
"What do you care about me?" Pingshan turned his head and stopped talking.
But Qingzhi misunderstood and her eyes widened immediately: "Could it be that your young master has comforted other women?"
Pingshan was startled and said quickly, "What are you talking about? How is that possible?"
"Then you..." Qingzhi stared at Pingshan unwillingly, "I don't care. Even if you are the prince, you can't let my second daughter suffer any injustice. What's going on?"
"I...I..." Pingshan felt as if he had dug a huge hole for himself, the kind that he couldn't climb out of...
Qingying said from the side: "Second Miss and the Prince have come to see us!"
Qingzhi glared at Pingshan and stopped talking, just pouting unhappily.
Pingshan couldn't help but shrink his neck when he saw Huo Xifei's cold gaze. He shouldn't pretend to be knowledgeable and show off in front of Qingzhi.
Huo Xifei had profound skills, and Yuan Ziyu was blessed by the spring water, so what they said was naturally heard by Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xifei.
"Master Huo, it seems you have another story?" Yuan Ziyu teased Huo Xifei with a smile. She knew that Huo Xifei could not have another woman.
"Don't listen to Pingshan's nonsense!" Huo Xifei sighed, "He once saw my father comforting my mother, and he remembered it!"
Yuan Ziyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he burst out laughing.
Huo Xifei was also stunned for a moment, then he reacted and looked at Pingshan coldly: "Pingshan, when you go back, run a hundred miles with a heavy load."
Why use a pig as a metaphor when there are so many other options? Hum...
Pingshan's face immediately fell: "Yes, Prince!"
Is he really screwing himself?
"Don't worry about this matter. Even if Concubine Liu intervenes, Grand Tutor Liu will give you an explanation!" Huo Xifei said to Yuan Ziyu.
"Yeah!" Yuan Ziyou smiled and nodded, "I know!"
"Also, you did a great job today!" Huo Xifei couldn't help but touch Yuan Ziyu's hair and said.
"You don't think I'm too cruel, do you?" She beat Liu Xueqing so hard that she rolled on the ground!
"That's what she deserves!" Huo Xifei said with a smile.
Yuan Ziyou couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth when he heard this. Suddenly, he thought of something and said hurriedly, "Oh, by the way, these medicinal powders are for you."
As he spoke, Yuan Ziyu took out several small bottles and handed them to Huo Xifei.
