Chapter 20 The Ancient World XIX



Dongfang Wen was the first to know that someone had failed to rob government silver. After all, it was the person he sent out, and the person who did the bad thing was always the most nervous.

When the news first came, he took out his favorite Songhua stone inkstone. It was the first inkstone he owned and was given to him by Dongfang Rui when he first followed Dongfang Rui.

"My Lord, things were going smoothly. We successfully ambushed and stopped the vehicle carrying the silver. Just as we were about to attack Dongfang Rui, a group of people with extremely high martial arts skills suddenly appeared. Our people fought back desperately, but still..."

Dongfang Wen interrupted him expressionlessly, "I'm not here to listen to your useless talk. Failure is failure."

When the man below heard Dongfang Wen's words, he lowered his head even lower.

"Since you said that my good Third Brother is surrounded by secret guards, then come here..."

After the man came closer, the two of them whispered for a long time.

After that person left, Dongfang Wen sent invitations to the Minister of Personnel and the Vice Minister of Justice one after another. The Minister's invitation was rejected by his retainers on the grounds that he was busy with work and not at home. The two Vice Ministers had vague attitudes and were not clear in their words, and it was highly likely that they would not come.

When the news came back, Dongfang Wen smashed the entire study room.

“You all look down on me, you all look down on me…Ahhhhhhhh.”

His heart was clamoring with resentment.

Why did you come out? Why didn’t you die in Prince Rui’s Mansion? Why! Why!

Song Wanqing raised her right hand but it stopped stiffly in front of the door. She had also heard about the ambush that Dongfang Rui and Dongfang Jie had encountered, and she probably guessed who was behind it.

She knew that Dongfang Wen must be in a bad mood, so she wanted to come and offer some warmth and improve their relationship, but she didn't expect that Dongfang Wen was venting her emotions. Now that she had discovered another side of Dongfang Wen, she also needed some time to calm down.

No one likes to have their dark side revealed to others, especially to those they know.

So Song Wanqing didn't knock on the door and left the study quietly, as if he had never been there.

On the way back, Song Wanqing picked up a petal and put it into the bowl in her hand. When she turned the corner, she met Chongzheng, and her heart moved.

"Hello, Princess."

Song Wanqing nodded.

Chongzheng stopped and just saw the food in the princess's hand, with something floating on it.

Song Wanqing and Chongzheng looked at what she was holding in her hand, and began to explain with some regret.

"I wanted to give the prince a taste, but unfortunately, something got into my stomach halfway through the journey." Song Wanqing seemed to have just chatted briefly and then changed the subject.

"You are going to see the prince, so go quickly."

Chongzheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the princess say this. After paying his respects, he headed towards the study.

Song Wanqing stood there, looking at Chongzheng's back. Only she knew what was going on in her mind.

108 was amazed when watching it. It had monitored Song Wanqing and Dongfang Wen before. Song Wanqing really had many faces. In front of Dongfang Wen, she was cute and lovely, and a good wife and mother. She managed the backyard with clear rewards and punishments, and managed it very well, even better than the host who was just eating for free.

The host was not even willing to take care of it. It was Muzhi who had been arranging it before. After the Rui Palace was unsealed, the housekeeper who was previously trapped in the manor came back and took over.

Song Sanniang just knew that people could be trusted, and that was enough. She didn't want to worry about these tedious matters.

There are no simple women in the world. 108 suddenly felt that she had brought this upon herself by being so picky and finally binding herself to Song Sanniang.

If...108 shook his head, there is no if, its host is Song Sanniang.

Song Sanniang paused for a moment while holding the child. If she had not been sure that the contract she had signed with the system did not reduce her intelligence, she would really have suspected that her 108 IQs had been sucked away by something.

She could tell clearly what it was thinking, whether it had forgotten or not.

Forget it. I was a bit cruel to it before, so I'll let it go this time.

108 was completely unaware that the person involved already knew about the fact that he had been complaining about her behind Song Sanniang's back, and he enthusiastically reported the movements of Dongfang Wen and his wife to Song Sanniang.

After finishing the report, he continued to monitor in the corner with great interest.

Time flies. Xiaoyi and Xiaoer will be one year old in a month, and Dongfang Rui will be back soon.

Song Sanniang had already learned from the system that Dongfang Rui had already set off and was on his way back to the capital. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be back just in time for Xiaoyi and Xiaoer's first birthday banquet.

The two little guys can now walk a few steps. More than a month ago, Song Sanniang heard Xiaoyi call her "Mom" for the first time.

Of course, the pronunciation was not clear, but it was the first time that Song Sanniang fully participated in the process of her child from birth to babbling.

Suddenly I felt that the two children became a lot cuter.

At that time, she wrote the news on a piece of paper and told Dongfang Rui.

Now, the first and second grade children can pronounce individual words clearly, including dad, mom, grandpa... and some other words.

Song Sanniang was already looking forward to Dongfang Rui's reaction when he heard that word. It would definitely be interesting.

The entire Rui Wang Mansion was busy preparing for the two young masters' first birthday banquet.

Dongfang Wen showed a rare look of anxiety on her face, and asked Song Wanqing impatiently.

"Well, what do the people at the Rui Palace say?"

After Song Wanqing heard the news from Bihong, he could not hide his excitement.

"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission."

Dongfang Wen's eyes lit up, and she took Song Wanqing's hand and helped her up.

"Wanqing, please tell me why the Third Princess suddenly accepted the invitation."

Song Wanqing's face was a little stiff, and soon disappeared again. "It's Ying'er's birthday party. I thought my two nephews are about to be one month old. Sister hasn't been out and about for a long time. It's a good opportunity to bring the children along to make it more lively."

"Besides, my sister can get to know the rules of the birthday party, and then the birthday parties for my two nephews will be more comprehensive."

Of course, this was just Song Wanqing's face-saving words. After all, the times are different now. The Third Prince is now in his prime, and many people are giving face to the Rui Palace. Even if there are any omissions, there probably won't be any complaints.

Unlike her, she hadn't slept well for several days in a row in order to make Ying'er's first birthday party a success. She looked a little haggard now. Dongfang Wen seemed normal.

"So my sister agreed and promised to come to Ying'er's birthday party."

After hearing this, Dongfang Wen couldn't contain his joy. The plan started so smoothly, which was a good sign. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pick up the princess and spun her around.

"Ah, Liu Lang!" Song Wanqing exclaimed, and was a little angry when he landed.

Dongfang Wen leaned against Song Wanqing's forehead with tenderness in her eyes, "Thank you, Wanqing."

'You've done me a big favor,' he added silently.

The two of them were affectionate for a moment, and then began to busy themselves with their deployments.
