Chapter 418: All the court officials said that the young man had great acting skills, and today he finally saw it!
Someone in the palace informed the emperor.
It was not certain whether they were people hired by the Lin family, but the news that they were out at the Lantern Festival had definitely reached the Lin family.
Jiang Tinghuai tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and when he raised his head, his face was still innocent.
"Chengcheng is right," Jiang Tinghuai looked directly into Fang Yiwan's eyes with a helpless expression, "Since this matter was decided by our great-grandmother, we, as the younger generation, really have no say in it."
Fang Yiwan bit her lower lip.
"I know that this matter will make His Highness embarrassed, but..."
She wanted to say that she really "missed him too much".
She has pinned all her future life's treasures on Lin Jinshu, so how could she tolerate Lin Jinshu escaping from her control? !
"You know that, yet you're still talking!" The voice from the opposite side that always gave her "surprises" came out again, interrupting her prepared words without any politeness.
"Chengcheng's second brother has had a hard time in the palace. If he agrees to today's request, how will he live in the future?!" After saying this, Jiang Yingcheng sniffed suddenly, and her eyes turned red.
Fang Yiwan raised her head and looked at the young man opposite her with a look of sadness and shock, then lowered her head timidly and said in a harsh voice, "I am inconsiderate."
She had no feelings for this daughter.
To be exact, she didn't have much affection for anyone around her.
But this doesn't mean that she can allow people around her to treat her so coldly!
Moreover, that important person took such a big risk to pass on the information of the prince and the young man's trip to her. She owed him such a big favor, so there is no way she would return empty-handed today!
When she raised her head again, two lines of crystal tears were already on Fang Yiwan's face.
He tried to conduct moral kidnapping skillfully: "It's just that I haven't seen you for half a year——"
“Waaaaaa——”
A sharp cry suddenly sounded from the opposite side. Fang Yiwan's sad expression froze and she looked at the opposite side in shock.
"How can you be so mean? Wow—"
Jiang Yingcheng was still holding the half piece of steamed rice cake that she hadn't finished eating in her hand, crying out of breath.
"Do you know how difficult my second brother's life was in the palace?!"
While crying, she quickly winked at her brother, the prince.
Jiang Tinghuai finally came out of his daze, and hurriedly found a handkerchief and frantically wiped the tears from the little boy's face.
The court officials all said that the young man had great acting skills, and today he finally saw it!
"My second brother studies the hardest every day, but he still can't satisfy his mother," Jiang Yingcheng held up three fingers and burst into tears, "Three times! Chengcheng saw with her own eyes that my second brother's mother pulled his ears three times!!"
"He is always punished by his father. He even copied the entire scripture three times!"
"Grandma doesn't like my second brother either. She once punished him by making him squat in horse stance for an entire afternoon!!"
Fang Yiwan: “…”
Her tears were welling up in the corners of her eyes, and she didn't know how to fall. She was so shocked by the situation that she didn't know how to react.
Jiang Tinghuai also froze.
Except for the "Second Brother" address, everything the young man said really happened, but...
The reason for pulling my ears is because I took the kid to skip class!
The purpose of copying scriptures is to make it easy for little ones to prepare notes!
As for squatting... it was because when he went to Changning Palace to visit the little girl, he was tricked by the little girl and carried her over the wall to go out to play, and was caught by the palace maid!!
Jiang Tinghuai felt a slight toothache.
The young man did not explain the reasons, but only talked about cause and effect. Once people find out that there is evidence to prove it, the rumor will spread quickly throughout the palace like wings. By then, even if people know that there must be a hidden story, they will still make fun of him!
And today, in order to take his little friend out of the palace, he specially strengthened the defense. Now, the wine shop is surrounded by secret guards and attendants.
The "culprit" had no idea what was going on in her brother the Crown Prince's mind, and suddenly slammed the table hard: "My second brother is already in such a miserable state, and you still want to bully him!"
Sonorous and powerful, with a loud sound when it hits the ground.
Ensure that everyone around them can hear it clearly.
Fang Yiwan: “…”
With such a huge pot on her body, even if she wanted to say something sweet, she had to grit her teeth and swallow it back.
She stepped to the side and knelt on the ground with a bang. She said to Jiang Tinghuai, "I was so worried about my son that I forgot to consider your situation. I hope you won't blame me!"
Jiang Tinghuai leaned slightly to the side, the curve of his lips revealing bitterness: "No problem."
It wasn't her fault that she was inconsiderate; it was clearly his fault!
…
After Fang Yiwan left with a sad face, Jiang Yingcheng waved his hand and asked the waiter to serve them several signature dishes, and then he started eating with a satisfied look on his face.
"Wow——" Jiang Yingcheng put on a full show, "Second brother, try this, it smells so good!"
[Hmm... Speaking of which, from whom did Fang Yiwan get this information? ]
Jiang Tinghuai paused in chewing and moved slightly closer to the young man.
They had just arrived at the Lantern Festival today when Fang Yiwan came to visit them. The maid behind her was already holding several oil-paper packages of different sizes, which looked like all kinds of desserts that the little ones would like.
I guess he must have made sufficient preparations beforehand.
And if it takes such a long time to prepare, then the scope of the people who can convey the information to outside the palace is actually very small.
——It could only be the people who served them who sent out the news as soon as they learned that they were about to leave the palace!
Jiang Tinghuai clenched the teacup in his hand, his eyes cold.
Thinking back, ever since he learned from the little guy's voice about the ending he and his mother were about to face, he had conducted a search of the two people's palaces, and found an excuse to drive out all the palace maids and eunuchs he felt were untrustworthy. The only ones left now were those who had followed him and his mother for many years.
But even so, he still kept the spy around? !
At this moment, a name slowly came to the young man's mind: [Ang... Ding Can? It seems a little familiar...]
Jiang Tinghuai's breathing stagnated.
More than familiar?!
Although he didn't bring Ding Can with him all day, Ding Can was responsible for preparing cakes for the kid when he went to the East Palace to play several times...
Thinking about it now, he suddenly felt a surge of fear!
Fortunately, this person is not so crazy as to tamper with the kid's food!
【Isn’t that right?】
Jiang Yingcheng paused while flipping through the documents and blinked: [It clearly says that this Ding Can is Uncle Jing Wang’s man——Uh?]
After suddenly realizing what was going on, Jiang Yingcheng took a deep breath!
[Uncle Jing Wang and Fang Yiwan are hooking up? How did they get together?! ]
[This needs to be investigated carefully! ]
Jiang Tinghuai: "!!!"
Wait, wait!!
