Li Chenjiao's words were truly beautiful.
Even if the Fourth Prince hadn't come to the East Courtyard today, Li Chenjiao wouldn't have dealt with the First Prince's wet nurse, Madam Cheng, in any way.
Otherwise, when the time comes, frozen pears will inevitably be the subject of discussion.
Li Chenjiao can deal with the Cheng family, but not because of what happened between the eldest prince and Dongli today, otherwise it will only push Dongli into the limelight.
Upon hearing the sound, Fourth Master frowned slightly: "What happened?"
Li Chenjiao moved her lips, but she didn't intend to reveal the matter of the marbles, since it was still just a matter without any evidence at the moment.
Fourth Master looked at her, and finally pointed at Qiu Hu: "You tell me. Tell me everything that happened when you went to the garden with your master today."
Qiu Hu hurriedly knelt down and reported everything efficiently.
The master and servant did not exchange glances or words, but Qiu Hu did not mention the marbles either. He only said that the eldest prince seemed to have been attracted by something.

Li Chenjiao stood up and gracefully curtsied, saying, "Thank you for making the decision, sir."
The Fourth Prince just said that he would punish according to the rules, so what he meant was that Cheng should continue to take care of the First Prince.
This instruction was not unexpected for Li Chenjiao.
The Fourth Master awoke, exchanged a glance with the other man, and felt a strange sense of unease.
He wasn't in a very good mood when he returned home today. The harvest in various places this year wasn't very good, and the winter is cold. Who knows what will happen in various places then.
This morning at court, the Emperor Emeritus mentioned the idea of going north.
At that time, it will inevitably involve a lot of mobilization.
However, in the imperial court, the eldest brother, Prince Zhi, strongly supported the Emperor's decision.
