Princess Ning understood. She stood up and walked to Old Madam Chu and said, "Grandma, I will take Miss Kang to my courtyard first."
Kang Yueran stood up, bowed to Old Madam Chu, and left behind Princess Ning.
Before leaving the yard, Chai Rong caught up, took Kang Yueran's arm, and asked in a low voice: "Is what you just said true?"
The three of them walked and talked, "Of course it's true. The Hou Family Wharf that I just mentioned, which refused to let my ship dock, is also another victim deceived by Duke Lu."
Chai Rong exclaimed, "Tell me what happened in detail."
Princess Ning was a legitimate daughter, and her courtyard was spacious, planted with many chrysanthemums, including several pots of famous varieties. The maid brought tea and snacks, and the three of them chatted while admiring the chrysanthemums.
Chai Rong felt very sorry that he could not go to Anzhou with Chai Shibo. "I will ask Father again. Anyway, my seventh brother is also in Anzhou. I don't have to worry about no one taking care of me if I go there."
Princess Ning said, "Your seventh brother went to Anzhou because he had an errand."
"What errand? Brother Seventh has gained weight this time since he came back."
Kang Yueran laughed out loud, "He has indeed gained weight. I think he has gained weight too. Both he and Chu Yun have gained weight."
Chai Rong said confidently, "Seventh Brother is not busy at all. He might be living a life of luxury in Anzhou all day long."
Kang Yueran testified to Chai Shibo, "Building a maritime transport office is, after all, robbing money from the pockets of merchants. Prince Ning must have a good relationship with the merchants, otherwise the merchants will unite to make things difficult for Prince Ning, which will be a very troublesome matter.
So, it's true that I eat and drink every day, but it's all for business." It was Chai Shibo's first time out of the capital on business, and he did let himself go a bit. He and Chu Yun often went hunting, or just to eat and drink.
"Where is Seventh Brother's favorite place to eat and drink?"
"I love going to Uncle Mu Lian's restaurant. His food is the best and the wine is delicious. The second best thing is going hunting. Since he went to Anzhou, a lot of wild boars have been hunted in Wild Boar Ridge."
Chai Rong laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "Anything else? Did he go to Qingping Mountain?"
"I went there and learned to swim with my boatmen. Didn't you notice they've gotten a lot darker?"
Princess Ning found it very interesting and said, "It is a lot darker."
Chai Rong snorted twice, "Seventh brother told father that he got tanned because he was busy with official duties every day."
Just as Kang Yueran was about to speak, she heard the maid guarding the door loudly greet the newcomers. Then, Song and Lin Qingyi walked in together.
After the two of them exchanged greetings, Song smiled reluctantly, "Miss Kang, I wrote you a letter, why didn't you reply?"
"Write a letter? When did you write it? I didn't receive any letter from you!"
Lin Qingyi snorted coldly: "I think you just don't agree. My mother wrote you three letters, and you still dare to say that you didn't receive them. Who would believe it?"
Song nudged Lin Qingyi with her arm and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Those letters might have been intercepted by your grandmother." The head of the Marquis' Mansion is Old Lady Lin.
Kang Yueran asked Song, "Is there something wrong?"
"Alas! It's all about Qingyi's marriage! Miss Kang, Prince Ping is a prince, so he should have a principal wife and two concubines. You are the principal wife, so what are your plans for these two concubines?"
"A Jing promised me not to take a concubine!"
"It's not a concubine, it's a concubine. There's a difference between a concubine and a mistress. Miss Kang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're still not familiar with the rules of the capital. I think we should let Qingyi go over and help you. You can help Prince Ping with the important matters outside, and let Qingyi take care of the general affairs of the palace."
Lin Qingyi pulled at her handkerchief, her face full of displeasure. She was supposed to be the principal wife, but without her status as principal wife, she couldn't become the queen, and her child wouldn't be a legitimate son. As she thought about it, tears started to flow.
Kang Yueran was very angry. This Chai Shijing was quite popular with women. "Mrs. Lin should go to Ajing instead of me. He is the one who took the concubine, not me. You should ask him about this matter."
"Look, look, I told you you don't understand. You are the principal wife, and the prince's backyard is your responsibility. How can you ask him about everything?"
Song took Lin Qingyi's hand and said, "Qingyi, I dare not say anything else, but this rule is first-class and will definitely help you."
Kang Yueran was speechless. "Ajing and I haven't gotten married yet, so I can't get involved in the affairs of Prince Ping's Mansion. You should go find Ajing. He has the final say in Prince Ping's Mansion now."
"Don't you just want me not to enter your house? Kang Yueran, you are so despicable!" Lin Qingyi's tears flowed even harder. She was willing to be humble and humble, so what else did she want her to do?
Kang Yueran glanced at him coldly, "You're right! When Ah Jing was pursuing me, he promised me that we would be together for the rest of our lives and he would never take a concubine."
"How could you... someone like my cousin, with that kind of status..."
"I don't care who he is. He is my man and he can't touch other women in this life." Kang Yueran's words were so powerful that they shocked everyone present.
Chai Rong patted Kang Yueran and said with a mischievous smile, "Yueran, you're amazing!"
Song murmured, "Are you going to be a jealous woman? In the future, when Prince Ping ascends the throne..."
"Shut up! If you dare say such things again, I will poison you to silence!" She pointed at Lin Qingyi, "And you! I'm known for my cruelty. If you don't want to die or become disabled, just be quiet."
Song and Lin Qingyi were frightened by Kang Yueran and walked away supporting each other.
Chai Rong advised: "The Lin family is not up to par, don't be angry."
The maid came in and reported, "The bride has arrived!"
Chai Rong pulled Kang Yueran up and said, "Let's go see the bride and have some fun!"
In the courtyard where male guests were entertained, Chai Shibo held up his wine glass, put one foot on a chair, and pressed Chu Yun's shoulder with one hand to prevent Chu Yun from running away, "Chu Yun, I want to drink another drink with you!"
"You've already had so many drinks with me, I still have to go to other tables to toast, let me go!"
"Hehe... Chu Yun, you don't understand this. Others are afraid that you won't be able to have your wedding night after drinking too much. Let me tell you, having your wedding night after drinking too much has its own unique charm..."
Chu Yun's face, already red from drinking, turned even redder after hearing what Chai Shibo said. "I don't need you to teach me, let me go!" she said as she struggled to get up.
Chai Shibo held him down tightly and said, "You're still a virgin. If I don't teach you, who will?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" The Chu family has very strict family traditions. A man is not allowed to take a concubine or a maid before getting married; and before the legitimate son is born, the concubine and maid cannot have children.
Chai Shiyan also knew these two rules, "Seventh Brother, don't go too far."
Chai Shibo was already drunk. "I'm doing this for Chu Yun's own good. Fifth brother, you...ah, Sixth brother, you're going to get married soon, so let me teach you."
Chai Shijing was very troubled, "I don't need you to teach me!"
Chai Shibo let go of Chu Yun, walked over to Chai Shijing, patted Chai Shijing's shoulder, and pinched him twice. "Sixth brother, you don't look well. Miss Kang is so strong. What if she hurts you?"
Everyone was trying to hold back their laughter.
