836 Human relations are strengthened only by giving and receiving

A child without a mother is like a weed. If the Sixth Miss had a biological mother, even if she was a concubine, she would not have ended up like this.

A woman without parents to protect her, if she doesn't have some ability, will be eaten alive by the world. Feng Qingchen is lucky that she is luckier than the Sixth Miss and has the ability to protect herself and survive, otherwise...

The fate of the Sixth Girl is a reflection of her.

Noticing Feng Qingchen's low mood, the Ninth Prince stopped talking about the Sixth Miss. The tragedy had already happened and they were powerless to reverse it. There were a lot of women in the world who were more miserable than the Sixth Miss of Shunning Marquis' Mansion.

The world is unfair to women. Whenever there is a natural disaster or man-made calamity, the first person to starve to death is a woman, and the first person to be sold is also a woman.

The Ninth Prince interrupted Feng Qingchen's contemplation and asked, "What are you going to do about this? Open the coffin and perform an autopsy or something? Although the Shunning Marquis's affairs have been investigated, they have cleared the evidence over the years. It is probably impossible for you to find evidence from the Shunning Marquis's Mansion."

"It would be best if we could open the coffin and do an autopsy. The Shunning Marquis' Mansion buried the person in such a hurry and panic. There must be something wrong with the body of the sixth lady. The sixth lady chose Sun Sixing, probably because she heard that I was protective of my shortcomings. She was so ruthless that she used her own life to expose this matter. She would definitely have a backup plan. I think there must be something useful in her body." Being able to protect her sister's innocence in such a place and to think of scheming against Sun Sixing, the sixth lady is not a brainless woman.

Although she was unhappy about the Sixth Young Lady plotting against Sun Sixing, she could also understand her situation. The Sixth Young Lady was three times more difficult than she was at the beginning. If she had no choice, she probably wouldn't have used such a cruel method.

"Since we have to act now, we should do it as soon as possible. If we delay any further, it will be New Year's Day. It will be embarrassing for everyone if we handle such a case during New Year's Day. If we delay until New Year's Day, it will be too long. It is hard to say what the emperor's attitude will be by then.

The emperor has cleared the Blood Robe Guards, so it's time for you to take over Shunning Marquis' Mansion. Moreover, you have made great contributions in saving the dragon seed. If you put forward the condition of opening the coffin for autopsy at this time, the Xie family and the concubines' families will help you. "The Ninth Prince calmly analyzed every available person around Feng Qingchen.

After entering the palace and saving the imperial physician with his skillful hands, he was unable to save Concubine Xie and her son. In the eyes of the concubines, Feng Qingchen had become an object that must be won over. At this time, many families were willing to sell Feng Qingchen out without offending the emperor.

"If I ask the concubines' families to contribute, will the emperor think that I am trying to win over people?" The Ninth Prince's suggestion was very tempting, but it also came with great risks. Feng Qingchen didn't want to be remembered by the emperor.

"The emperor won't care about the little woman's tricks. The emperor knows very well what the concubines in the harem want from you." As long as he doesn't try to win people over, the emperor won't pay too much attention to it. Those officials are all shrewd people. Even if they want to give Feng Qingchen face, they will do it very well.

Feng Qingchen laughed at himself: "Of course the emperor won't take my little tricks seriously. Even if I can get half of the ministers in the court to speak for me, the emperor can kill me with just one word, and then I will be nothing."

"It's good that you understand. As long as you don't go too far, the emperor won't care what you do. The emperor is a very conceited person at heart, otherwise he wouldn't let his sons fight each other." Most of the military power in Dongling is in the hands of the emperor, and the remaining small part is in his hands, but compared with the emperor's army, it is still a little weak. The only person the emperor is afraid of is him.

The army, this is why the emperor is so tough. No matter how powerful your power is, once a million soldiers are deployed, even Xuanxiao Palace will be reduced to ashes. However...

No one would easily do such a thing as killing 800 enemies and injuring 1,000 of their own men, so the emperor would never use a large army to deal with the Ninth Uncle, because once the emperor took action, it would give Xiling, Nanling and Beiling an opportunity to take advantage.

Since no one knew as much as the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen just listened to the Ninth Prince and did as Feng Qingchen said. There was only one thing that made Feng Qingchen unhappy.

"In this case, I will have to owe so many favors." Feng Qingchen was afraid when she thought of the fiery eyes of the women in the harem. She kept wondering in her heart how much she would have to give out to pay off all these favors.

Seeing Feng Qingchen's serious calculation, the Ninth Uncle was amused. He reached out and rubbed Feng Qingchen's head and said, "If you owe a favor, it will be more humane and it will also bring both parties closer. Besides, they did it voluntarily, and you didn't take the initiative to ask them for help."

The concubine's family is trying every means to make Feng Qingchen owe them a favor, so that they will feel at ease and will be more confident that Qingchen will be more devoted to their daughter.

Feng Qingchen thought about it and found that it was indeed the case. She had such bad relationships with people in the past. Was it because she was too calculating? She never wanted to owe anyone anything unless they were someone she approved of.

Uh... when I think about it carefully, it's still the same. Because I'm an orphan, I've been seeing those kind faces giving alms, their condescending attitudes, and the cheap pity and sympathy since I was a child.

Every time she saw that look, she wanted to go up to them and tell them: "We are orphans, but we don't think we need your pity and sympathy. Your pity and sympathy cannot change the fact that we are orphans. We thank you for your help, but please don't look at us like beggars. What we need is help, not charity."

Later, when she grew up, she was unwilling to owe too much to others. What she needed was equal help, not charity from a superior. Therefore, her popularity was not very good. She was only willing to accept help from a few people she recognized.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Feng Qingchen didn't speak for a long time, the Ninth Prince asked.

Feng Qingchen smiled embarrassedly: "No, I was just thinking about the past and found that I was inferior and sensitive. I trapped myself in a strange circle, not letting ordinary people get close to me, and I was unwilling to get close to others."

"It will be fine if you change it in the future." The Ninth Prince wanted to say that this was good, but he knew very well that Feng Qingchen should never be confined to a small circle. It would have been fine if she hadn't figured it out before, but now that she has figured it out and said it frankly, she will definitely know what to do next and how to improve.

Feng Qingchen nodded, and then she realized that the Ninth Prince's hand was still on her head, messing up her hair. Feng Qingchen pushed his hand away angrily: "Don't touch my hair, it's a mess, how can I face people?"

"The king is here, who else do you want to see?" The Ninth Prince withdrew his hand dissatisfiedly. He was somewhat reluctant to touch Feng Qingchen's hair. It was smooth and soft, and very comfortable to touch. Most importantly, Feng Qingchen looked very cute when he was angry.

"Servants, there are servants coming and going in the mansion." Feng Qingchen cautiously distanced herself from the Ninth Uncle while fixing her messy hair.

"They won't just show up without orders."

As soon as the Ninth Prince finished speaking, Tong Jue's high-pitched voice could be heard from afar outside the courtyard: "Miss, it's time to eat."

Uh, the Ninth Uncle’s face turned dark.

Tong Jue knew that the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were talking about something and they couldn't get close, so she started shouting outside the courtyard. It was too late for the secret guards to remind the Ninth Prince.

They didn't expect Tong Jue to suddenly yell at the top of his lungs.

Hahahaha... Feng Qingchen looked at the Ninth Prince's facial lines becoming increasingly stiff. He laughed silently for a long time, but finally, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Tong Jue, you are so cute.

The Ninth Prince was angry. Seeing Feng Qingchen laughing happily, he had no choice but to direct all his anger at Tong Jue outside the door: "The servants of the Feng Mansion should be taught a lesson. They have no manners at all."

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the bathroom right away." Feng Qingchen stopped laughing after a long while, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked seriously, "Do you want to eat here?"

"What? Can't I have a meal in Feng Mansion?" After being tricked by Tong Jue, the Ninth Prince decided to teach the servants of Feng Mansion a lesson, so that they would not even look down on their master.

"Of course. It's getting late and I'm really hungry. Let's go eat. We have to go to the Dali Temple tomorrow." Feng Qingchen responded quickly and told the Ninth Prince subtly that she would be very busy tomorrow. She could have dinner tonight but not stay overnight.

The Ninth Prince pretended not to understand and said considerately, "After dinner, we can talk about the case. I will have someone send the collected evidence over."

In other words, he wanted to stay in Feng Mansion, and his reasons were legitimate.

Ah... Feng Qingchen had a bitter face. She didn't think that the Ninth Prince was just staying overnight.

Having regained a point, the Ninth Prince was in a good mood. He strode out, and when he saw Feng Qingchen didn't come out, he kindly reminded her.

One of them was in high spirits, while the other was listless. When they passed by Tong Jue who was waiting outside the courtyard, the Ninth Prince glanced at her politely, which frightened Tong Jue so much that she stood there for a long time without daring to move, and then...

She caught a cold and couldn't appear in front of Feng Qingchen for several days.

After finishing the meal, the Ninth Prince Uncle ordered the secret guards to go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion and have someone fetch the evidence. At the same time, he went to find the Ninth Prince's Mansion's aide and asked him to tell the Supreme Court Minister that Feng Qingchen would continue to sue Shunning Marquis' Mansion tomorrow.

After sending everyone away, the Ninth Prince went to the study with Feng Qingchen to discuss what Feng Qingchen would say in the Dali Temple court, when to produce the evidence, the possible reaction of the Shunning Marquisate, and their countermeasures.

It was something that could be said in a few words, but the Ninth Prince took an hour to finish it, and then...

In Feng Qingchen's study, the Ninth Prince's eyes lit up when he saw the information Feng Qingchen had collected about the Shandong Lu family, and he started discussing the affairs of the Shandong Lu family with Feng Qingchen again.

This time, Feng Qingchen was also very excited. The two of them forgot about the time while talking. By the time they realized what was happening, it was already late at night. Now the Ninth Prince had no choice but to stay the night...
