"Hearing you say that, fighting with others has become a way to maintain the reputation of the royal family." Concubine Yi raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ranli coldly with her delicate eyes.
"In reply to Your Majesty, this is indeed the reason why I did what I did."
In fact, Jiang Ranli didn't think too much about dealing with those troublemakers at that time, but the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yi, the eldest prince, and Dong E were all finding fault, and there were many people watching the fun. She couldn't let those with ulterior motives get their way, so she picked out these things and talked about them.
When Concubine Yi heard Jiang Ranli's answer, her beautiful eyes almost spit fire.
Emperor Kangxi looked at Jiang Ranli who was kneeling there, with a smile hidden in his eyes.
"Since you said you were thinking about the royal family's reputation, wouldn't it have been better for you not to become a businessman in the first place?" The eldest prince was unwilling and spoke out in embarrassment again.
"The eldest prince is right. If you knew your identity, why did you become a businessman and why did you do those romantic and casino businesses?" The Queen Mother felt that what the eldest prince said made sense, and followed his words to start a new round of accusations against Jiang Ranli.
Seeing this, the eldest prince couldn't help but laugh.
The prince on the side glanced sideways, his gaze flickering on Jiang Ranli.
"In reply to the Empress Dowager, the reason why Concubine Jin opened a business was all because of my grandson."
Yinzhen suddenly stood up and walked to Jiang Ranli.
Seeing that he took all the responsibility on himself, Dong E clenched her hands and stared at Jiang Ranli, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
Seeing Yinzhen coming, Jiang Ranli did not feel happy, but instead felt a little worried. She did not want Yinzhen to be disliked by Emperor Kangxi because of her.
"Her Majesty the Queen Mother..."
"Grandmother, you also know that my grandson has been involved in various businesses on a daily basis, but it is inconvenient for me to show up. By chance, I got to know the son of the Shumulu family, and he opened those businesses in Shandong. To be honest, the concubine did those things because of my grandson."
Jiang Ranli wanted to take the responsibility back on herself, but Yinlang spoke before her and took responsibility for everything.
Idiot, are you stupid?
Looking at Yinzhen beside him, Jiang Ranli was angry and anxious.
As your husband, I promised to protect you for your whole life.
Noticing Jiang Ranli's gaze, Yinzhen lowered his eyes to look at him, his handsome thin lips curled up in a warm and doting arc.
Yin'er's words surprised everyone present, and the empress dowager was speechless for a long time.
The eldest prince looked at Yinzhen, and a dangerous light flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.
"The son of Shumulu? Are you talking about the one named Jiang Fan? Isn't he a Han Chinese? How did he become the son of Shumulu?" asked Concubine Yi.
"To answer my mother, Jiang Fan is the legitimate son of Lord Shumulu who passed away a few years ago. As for the name Jiang Fan, it is just his pseudonym," Yinzhen replied.
Because of Yinzhen, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yi no longer pursued the matter of Jiang Ran leaving the business. The eldest prince wanted to continue to make things difficult for Jiang Ran and Yinzhen, but seeing that Emperor Kangxi did not seem to want to pursue the matter at all, he had to give up.
Dong E originally thought that Jiang Ranli would be skinned alive today, but to her surprise, it had no effect at all. She secretly clenched her hands, and her nails dug into the flesh.
Jiang Ranli didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She had prepared many excuses to excuse herself, but in the end, none of them were used.
Just when she relaxed her guard and wanted to exchange glances with Yinzhen to express her joy at the all-clear, Emperor Kangxi suddenly spoke again.
"Fourth brother, tenth brother, fourteenth brother, come forward."
