Chapter 587: Courage to Take Responsibility
Hao Ting took it and took a small bite. After tasting it carefully, he said, "It tastes good, but it's still a little worse than what my father made for my mother."
Hearing this, Gu Xinjiu suddenly became curious.
"Master Xu will also make cakes for the princess?"
It is really hard to imagine that Lord Xu, who is so capable in officialdom, would cook for his wife and children when he returns home.
Isn’t it said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen?
She had never seen her father enter the kitchen; it was always her mother who took care of the household chores.
It turns out that husband and wife don’t just get along like parents.
No wonder Princess Le'an can be herself with confidence and boldness.
Hao Ting nodded as if it was normal. "Yes, I can make it, and there are many kinds of it. My mother loves it."
"That's really enviable."
Gu Xinjiu glanced in the direction of Hao Ting.
"What method did you use just now to catch so many fish in succession?"
"My second uncle taught me." Hao Ting looked at her proudly, "Do you want to learn it too?"
"Yes."
Gu Xinjiu nodded without hesitation.
Hao Ting thought about it, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, he slid down from the bench, and ran out of the pavilion.
"Aunt, wait. I'll go get my second uncle."
"Why!"
Gu Xinjiu was startled and wanted to hold Hao Ting back and tell him that it was not necessary, but the child had already run away.
She hurriedly followed Hao Ting to the lake.
…
Song Yuntang took the ten taels of silver that had just been found in the water from Xia Ning's hand and took a look at it. Apart from a small and inconspicuous mark, there was nothing special about it. It was just a neat and tidy silver ingot, and its origin could not be seen.
She came to Breguet.
"Can you please let me take a look at the silver Miss Baoji has?"
Baoji's eyes dodged and he subconsciously covered the purse around his waist.
"I am just an ordinary maid in the Marquis's mansion. I don't have such a large silver ingot on me."
Seeing this, Song Yuntang winked at Xia Ning.
Xia Ning understood what he meant and took the purse from Breguet's waist and handed it to Song Yuntang.
Song Yuntang unfolded it and pulled out an identical silver ingot from it. In the same place on the silver ingot, there was also an inconspicuous five-point plum blossom mark.
This can't be just a coincidence.
She showed two almost identical marks.
"How do you explain this mark, Miss Baoji? You're not going to say that I forged it in front of everyone just now?"
Someone came forward to take a look.
"Hey! They are exactly the same. I almost believed that this matter had nothing to do with the maid in Yangdu Marquis's Mansion."
"Really? The marks are so similar, it can't be a coincidence, right?"
Some families have the habit of marking silver and money to prove that it is the silver that came out of their home.
However, the five-point plum blossom mark does not look like the mark of the Yangdu Marquisate’s silver. It should be the dowry silver that the Marquis’s wife brought from her parents’ home last year.
Speaking of which.
The Crown Prince's wife and Princess Le'an are enemies.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be enjoying the show, Breguet was already confused in his heart.
Finished.
She didn't do what her master asked her to do.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Song Yuntang had a hint of coldness on his face.
"Xianing, tie her up."
“Wait!”
A voice came from behind the crowd.
When Baoji heard the voice, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The master came to rescue her!
Song Yuntang looked back but showed no surprise.
It was indeed her.
Meng Xinyue.
It seems that the few months she spent with Concubine Fu last year did not teach her a lesson.
After Prince Heng fell, Minister Meng was almost implicated.
Although he was later removed from the post, he has not yet been reinstated.
Her family is on the verge of collapse, but she is still stirring up trouble behind the scenes. She really doesn't know how to live or die.
"The Crown Prince's Consort has come at the right time. Baoji, the maid of Yangdu Marquis's Mansion, bribed Cuihuan, the maid of Miss Fu Er, with the intention of pushing my son into the lake. Does the Crown Prince's Consort have anything to say?"
Meng Xinyue glanced at her indifferently.
"Everything that happened today was done by Baoji alone. What does the princess want me to say? Although Baoji made a mistake, she is still a maid in Yangdu Marquis's Mansion. I should take her back and discipline her, instead of letting the princess interfere. Now that the truth has been revealed and Young Master Xu is safe and sound, I will take Baoji back to Yangdu Marquis's Mansion to be punished."
As he said this, he winked at the maids beside him and asked them to help Baoji up.
Before Keren could step forward, she was stopped by Xia Ning.
Song Yuntang remained calm.
"Today, the Crown Princess may not be able to take Miss Baoji away from me. Since the Crown Princess denies that you ordered Miss Baoji to do what she did today, Miss Baoji is a maid in the Marquis' Mansion after all. Everything she did was on behalf of the Marquis' Mansion in Yangdu. Afterwards, I will send Miss Baoji to the Marquis' Mansion and ask the old Marquis for an explanation."
Hearing that she was going to ask the old marquis for an explanation, Meng Xinyue's brows couldn't help but tighten.
Because of the previous scandal, the old marquis was not very satisfied with her, and now his father has not yet been reinstated, so this is not the time to create trouble.
Today, we must not let Breguet fall into Song Yuntang's hands.
After Meng Xinyue, many young men and women came, and Fu Yunqi was one of them.
She heard the conversation from afar, and when she caught a glimpse of Cuihuan kneeling on the wet ground, her heart skipped a beat and she immediately panicked.
But it has already happened, there is no point in escaping.
She stepped forward.
"Cuihuan, you are confused!"
Cuihuan shivered from the cold, her lips turning dark blue. She hugged her arms and cried with regret, "Miss, I was wrong."
"Why on earth are you doing this?" Fu Yunqi asked.
Cuihuan sobbed.
"My mother is seriously ill and needs money for treatment. I have asked many people for help, but no one is willing to help me. That's why... that's why..."
Fu Yunqi was very disappointed with his friend.
"Then why don't you come to me? I am your master. If you have any difficulties, you should come to me first instead of doing something so evil!"
Now that the incident had already happened, Fu Yunqi stopped blaming her and knelt down towards Song Yuntang.
"Cui Huan was instigated to harm Young Master Xu. In the final analysis, it was Yun Qi who neglected to discipline her. Please spare her life, Princess. Yun Qi is willing to be punished together with Cui Huan."
Negligence in discipline is real.
But Fu Yunqi is brave enough to take responsibility for his mistakes, which makes it difficult for people around him to hate him.
Song Yuntang is not a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong.
"Although Miss Fu was responsible for neglecting her education, she was not aware of the incident. Even if Cuihuan was not involved, there would be someone else involved. This incident was Cuihuan's fault alone. This princess will not blame the Fu family. Miss Fu, please stand up."
Fu Yunqi stood up.
"Thank you, Princess. After returning, Yun Qi will punish Cui Huan severely and give an explanation to Young Master Xu and the Princess."
