Chapter 58 Who is so presumptuous?
Xiao Lanyuan spoke lightly at this time.
"Who's being presumptuous?"
Although his motives for marrying Fu Zhaoning were not pure, she was now Princess Jun and was standing beside him.
He can bully others himself, but how can he have the nerve to do that to outsiders?
"This is Prince Jun's Mansion. I am standing right here. What is the madam trying to show off?"
Fu Zhaoning was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Lanyuan.
She hadn't expected that he would confront the old lady so directly.
The person appointed by the emperor came to give him a great gift. Shouldn't he show some respect?
The old lady also froze, and she was obviously in disbelief. "Prince Jun?"
"The old lady also knows that I am Prince Jun." Xiao Lanyuan said, pulling Fu Zhaoning to the main seat in the hall, and they sat down calmly, one each.
"Why would Madam Qing bother with a child? Amitabha." Master Chi Chen put his hands together and spoke before Madam Qing could speak, "Young donor Fu really doesn't know us."
"Child? She is married and she is still a child?" Old Madam Qing snorted and raised her eyelids to glance at Fu Zhaoning.
But at least she didn't say anything else.
The old scholar who looked like an old scholar also spoke up at this moment, "No matter how this marriage came about, since you have become the Princess of Jun, you still have to learn the rules."
"Aren't the rules of this world all made by humans? Just act with a clear conscience. Why bother with so many rules? I always think that young donor Fu has a clear mind and is a child with plans and plans." Master Chi Chen said again.
Fu Zhaoning immediately gave him two thumbs up.
She praised him generously, "Master, I think you have a good eye."
Master Chi Chen couldn't help but laugh.
A smile flashed across Xiao Lanyuan's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
He saw the anxious expressions of the butler and Qing Yi.
Qing Yi was really anxious and worried. How could the prince confront Madam Qing directly? You know, it was more than ten years ago that the emperor entrusted them. No one knew what the emperor had prepared. What if these three people didn't hand over the things?
Originally, they had never thought of such a possibility before, but after seeing Old Madam Qing and the old scholar just now, Qing Yi and the others couldn't help but feel worried.
It has been more than ten years and the emperor has long passed away. Who knows what was prepared at the time?
Fortunately, among these three people there is a Master Chi Chen. It seems that the Master would not be greedy or anything, right?
"Except for Master Chi Chen, I have never seen you two. Should you two introduce yourselves?" Xiao Lanyuan said.
At this time, the pressure from his high position did not subside.
The old scholar and Madam Qing looked at each other and stood up.
"I wonder if Prince Jun has heard of the Baqinhu family?" said the old scholar.
"There is also the Qing family in Mucheng." said Old Lady Qing.
"hiss--"
Qing Yi on the side could not help but gasp. Butler Zhong's expression also changed slightly.
Fu Zhaoning looked towards Xiao Lanyuan. The man was wearing a mask, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly, but the corners of his mouth didn't move, as if he was calm and collected.
Are the Baqin Hu family and the Mucheng Qing family very powerful?
How come she seems to have never heard of it?
But the family that could be entrusted with such an important task by the retired emperor would not be an ordinary family.
"Your Highness..." Qing called Prince Jun in a low voice.
Even Fu Zhaoning understood what he meant: Do you want to ease the atmosphere? Both parties were not very happy just now. It would be great if the prince could say something soft and let the other party have a way out.
Xiao Lanyuan's tone remained unchanged, he just said two words.
“Yes.”
that's all?
Qing Yi was very upset. But he didn't say anything else. Instead, he stood aside with his back straight and no extra expression.
The prince didn't want to give face to these people at all, and as a subordinate, he couldn't embarrass the prince again.
Aren’t they just the Hu family and the Qing family?
"Ah, but I haven't heard of it." Fu Zhaoning asked curiously, "Is it a noble family that is more noble and powerful than the royal family? Above the royal family?"
“Nonsense!”
"No nonsense!"
Madam Qing and the old scholar both changed their expressions and shouted at the same time.
How could they dare to take the blame for such a serious crime?
Who said anything about being above the royal family?
Is this a rebellion?
Fu Zhaoning spread his hands and said, "If you are not, then why are you acting like you are the greatest in the world in front of Prince Jun? Tsk."
She laughed sarcastically.
Madam Qing and the old scholar, who were originally very proud, were both deflated.
"Mr. Fu, I am Chi Chen." Master Chi Chen smiled, still looking very kind.
"Hello, Master." Fu Zhaoning waved to him enthusiastically.
This obvious difference in treatment made the other two very angry.
The young man next to the old scholar looked at Fu Zhaoning with some curiosity. He thought Fu Zhaoning was quite interesting.
Jun Wangchao glanced at him.
Then he said in a somewhat cold voice, "Are you three here to return the things that the Emperor entrusted you to keep?"
"Amitabha," said Master Chi Chen, "I do have a token of trust here, and I send it here specially to return it to its original owner."
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized box from his sleeve. The box was very flat and looked like it could only hold letters or something like that.
The box looked plain and ordinary.
When the box was taken out, Fu Zhaoning found that the old scholar and Madam Qing were both looking over and staring at the box.
Why do these two look like they want to rush over and grab something?
Fu Zhaoning suddenly felt that it might not be so easy for Prince Jun to get his things back.
This is completely different from what I originally imagined.
"Madam Qing and I don't have a token. The token is in the hands of our master."
The old scholar retracted his gaze and said to Prince Jun, "It's just that we are the branch of the family that stayed in the capital. We will send a message back to our family only after we know that Prince Jun got married and Princess Jun passed the test. At that time, the head of the family will personally deliver the token to the capital."
Is this so troublesome?
"Then what is the token of trust between your two families?" asked Prince Jun.
He was getting a little impatient. He didn't know what the old man was thinking back then. What the hell was he doing? He wanted to leave something for him and made it so complicated.
"We don't know, only the head of the family knows."
Master Chi Chen handed over the box.
Qing Yi took the box, looked at it carefully, and then presented it to Prince Jun.
Xiao Lanyuan took the box and felt it was cold. He was already cold, and he couldn't help but stuffed the box into Fu Zhaoning's arms without thinking.
Fu Zhaoning: "..." What for? Aren't you afraid that she will hide?
"You keep it first." Xiao Lanyuan also reacted.
Fu Zhaoning said "oh" and pressed the box with both hands.
"I don't know much. I just couldn't get over the emperor back then, so I agreed to keep this token for him and send it over three days after Prince Jun's wedding. Now that I've finished my business, I won't stay here any longer."
Master Chi Chen stood up and looked at Fu Zhaoning, "Young donor Fu, could you please come out and chat with me for a few minutes?"
