Without waiting for Lao Qin to go back to pick people up, Jiang Ancheng finally drove his own carriage back using his unfamiliar driving skills. As soon as he got off the carriage, he went to Jiang Si to complain.

Jiang Si originally thought that his father would scold him, but Jiang Ancheng cursed Jiang Zhan as soon as he opened his mouth: "Your second brother, that bastard, recommended a man to be your driver, and he patted his chest and said that the man was honest and reliable. As expected, you can't believe a word of that bastard's words."

Jiang Si smiled awkwardly.

When she first took Lao Qin into the mansion, it was not convenient for her to show up, so she asked her second brother for help. She didn't expect that this time her second brother would be the one to take the blame.

The more Jiang Ancheng thought about it, the angrier he got. "What's even worse is that bastard had someone ride my horse away. He was the young yamen runner who worked under Master Zhen. Humph, he looks so handsome, but he's hanging around with your second brother. It's obvious that he's not a decent person."

Jiang Si's mouth twitched slightly.

My father really dislikes my second brother. He regards anyone who has dealings with him as a bad friend.

But when she thought that the person was Yu Qi, she couldn't feel any sympathy at all.

Well, let father's dislike be even more intense.

After Jiang Ancheng finished scolding, he felt relieved. Of course, if he wanted to completely get rid of his anger, he had to wait for his son to come back and beat him up.

"Si'er, don't be afraid of what happened today. It has nothing to do with you. Don't go to your grandparents' house again unless it's necessary."

"My daughter knows."

Knowing that her aunt, Mrs. You, had such a dark heart, she would certainly not set foot into the Yining Marquis's Mansion again unless it was necessary.

Seeing that Jiang Si's expression was still calm, Jiang Ancheng felt relieved and left.

When only the master and the servant were left, Ah Man could not help but say, "Miss, the second cousin is so bad, and the missing maid in green is also so heartless. Are we just going to let it go? Will they not be punished for their bad deeds?"

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Evil people will be punished by heaven."

It is obvious that Su Qingxue's aunt You is behind her, but now Su Qingxue's biological mother has harmed Su Qingyi, and Su Qingxue will definitely not have an easy life under her aunt in the future.

As for the maidservant in blue, she had never seen her around her aunt before, which showed that she was not a respected maidservant. It was possible that she had found an inconspicuous maidservant to plot against her.

For a little maid like this, the most likely fate after doing shameful things for her master is to be silenced or sent away.

And my aunt, Youshi, the instigator of this incident, has actually been punished. What could be more painful for any mother than the pain of losing a child?

What Jiang Si didn't know was that a few days later, a little maid in Yining Marquis's mansion was found drowned in Juxia Lake. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic, saying that the second young master was looking for a scapegoat.

The mistress of the house, Mrs. You, dealt with the servants who spread the rumors fiercely and finally stopped the rumors from spreading.

Just as Jiang Si said, evildoers will be punished by God. Those who harbor evil intentions and harm others, whether they are instigators or executors, will eventually be punished.

In the study, Emperor Jingming took a break from his busy schedule to read a storybook. He was touched by a certain plot in the storybook and summoned important officials from the six ministries to inquire about the training experience of several princes.

Speaking of which, Emperor Jingming was also annoyed by his sons' recent mischief. He thought these brats had nothing to do all day long, either watching the fun or fighting, so he might as well send them to the six ministries for training, so that at least they would have something serious to do.

Deep down, Emperor Jingming was actually unwilling to admit that he was a little jealous of his sons: how come these idiots could wander around whenever they wanted, fight whenever they wanted, and even flirt with decent women without any problems, while he had to get up earlier than the chickens, attend court diligently to review memorials, and even read a storybook with great caution, for fear that he would be discovered by the historian and be sentenced to death.

Being a son is more comfortable than being a father. Can being a father be happy? Of course not!

Emperor Jingming listened to the official-speaking report from the six important officials and raised his eyebrows in impatience.

The prince is intelligent and wise, the prince is humble and polite, the prince... Is it necessary to listen to these nonsense? Isn't there anything new?

The Minister of Justice was a smart man. Seeing that the emperor was a little unhappy, he suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Yan assisted the governor of Shuntian Prefecture in handling a case. They just investigated the case of the grandson of Marquis Yining falling into the water."

Emperor Jingming became interested when he heard this: "Uh, what case?"

The Minister of Justice briefly introduced the case and finally praised: "Even the prefect of Shuntian said that the Prince of Yan is very meticulous and talented."

Emperor Jingming was delighted. He dismissed the important officials from the six ministries and ordered the Grand Eunuch Pan Hai to summon Yu Jin to the palace.

Yu Jincai had just had a drink with Jiang Zhan and had hinted at many things about Jiang Si. When he was walking back with the big dog, he met Pan Hai next to the crooked jujube tree at the door of his house.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor summons you to the palace."

Yu Jin's eyes regained clarity: "Please wait a moment, eunuch. I'll change my clothes."

Soon, Yu Jin, who had changed her clothes, followed Pan Hai into the palace.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yan has arrived."

As Yu Jin walked in, Emperor Jingming smelled a faint odor of alcohol.

Emperor Jingming was immediately unhappy.

Drinking in broad daylight?

"Where are you from?"

Yu Jin said truthfully, "I was drinking with friends and happened to meet Eunuch Pan on my way back."

"Isn't this the time to go to the government office?"

"I followed Lord Zhen, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, to investigate a case of a man falling into a river. I was very happy and asked my friends to have a couple of drinks."

Looking at his son with red cheeks, Emperor Jingming sighed inwardly.

Children who grow up outside the palace are not as smart as those who grow up inside the palace, so they are more likely to suffer losses.

In fact, he also has some responsibilities.

When Emperor Jingming had this thought, his eyes softened as he looked at Yu Jin, and he asked, "What friends have you made since you came back?"

"I have only made one friend, the second son of the Duke of Dongping, but he doesn't know my true identity yet."

"Dongping Marquis' Mansion?" Emperor Jingming thought for a long time before he had an impression. "I remember now. Dongping Marquis' Mansion was originally married to Anguo Duke's Mansion, but Anguo Duke's youngest son committed suicide for a commoner girl and called off the marriage with Dongping Marquis' Mansion. Is that true?"

Yu Jin looked bewildered: "I don't know."

"You just returned to the capital, it's normal that you don't understand these things."

Looking at his son who was as dazzling as a delicate orchid and a jade tree, Emperor Jingming smiled and said, "By the way, the youngest son of the Duke of Anguo is still your cousin. Seventh Brother, what do you think about this?"

Yu Jin's handsome face froze instantly, and he said coldly, "I think Ji San is an irresponsible bastard. The girl who broke off the engagement because of him must have been wronged for eight lifetimes to have anything to do with him."

Emperor Jingming touched his chin.

Lao Qi’s idea is very unique.

When he first heard about this, he just felt it was novel, and had not thought about what would happen to the girl from the Dongping Marquis's mansion who had broken off the engagement.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingming felt that as a wise ruler he should do something.

Well, let's go back and find a chance to appreciate that girl.
