"Go to the estate and ask the Marquis of Yongning and his wife to come back. Tell them the child has been beaten and to come back immediately." Xie Jincheng then instructed his servant to quickly find the Jiang Hanhai couple.
They were in such a mess, how could Jiang Hanhai and his wife stay out of it?
His son was also among those who were beaten.
Zhennan Prince's Mansion
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince's wife is outside requesting an audience," said Granny Chang to the Princess of Zhennan.
"Let her go back!" The Princess Consort of Zhennan was furious at the thought of her son marrying that wretched Luo Shi.
But he was stubborn and single-minded. No one knew what kind of spell that Luo woman had cast on him, but he insisted on marrying her. Anyway, she couldn't see anything good about that Luo woman. She had a bad background, was not good-looking, and was not good at anything related to music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. She didn't know how to manage a household or finances.
How can someone like that uphold the prestige of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?
Taking them out would be a disgrace to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Unfortunately, this Luo woman had no self-awareness whatsoever, and he found her incredibly annoying every time he saw her.
"Your Highness, the young master's wife is just a bit too frank. Please don't let her upset you." Granny Chang comforted her with a smile.
"Why should I be angry? They're the ones living their lives, and they'll be the ones making a fool of themselves in the future," Princess Zhennan said, her words contradicting her true feelings.
"I was thinking, what kind of chaos would our huge Zhennan Prince's Mansion become if it were really handed over to them?" Just thinking about Luo Shi's petty and narrow-minded manner made the Princess of Zhennan feel a tightness in her chest.
At first, she had considered accepting Luo Shi, but what she did really opened the eyes of the Princess of Zhennan.
The thought of those days when she first entered the Prince's mansion and handed over the reins of the household to her was unbearable.
She ate only salted vegetables and steamed buns for three days straight, which caused the entire household to lose face. Thinking of this, Princess Zhennan became furious.
Granny Chang sighed and decided not to persuade Princess Zhennan to receive Lady Luo again. After all, the outrageous things Lady Luo had done were too numerous to recount.
Just as Granny Chang was about to go out and tell Madam Luo that the Princess Consort was not seeing her, the steward rushed in.
"Your Highness, the officials have arrived and request that you, the Heir Apparent, and his wife go there immediately," the steward, Wu Zhuzi, said hastily.
"The government office? Have you asked what it is about?" Upon hearing this, Princess Zhennan had a bad feeling, especially since she also had to bring those two troublesome things along.
"Your Highness, the messenger didn't say anything, only that you should go there immediately." The steward shook his head.
"Where is the Crown Prince?" The Prince of Zhennan thought that Lady Luo was waiting outside to see him, but he didn't know where his dim-witted son was.
"Your Highness, the young master has gone out today. This old servant will go find him now." The steward knew that the young master was probably drinking with some bad friends again, but he dared not tell the princess this.
"Go find someone." Princess Zhennan took a deep breath. Even if the steward didn't say it, she knew that her eldest son probably hadn't done anything good either. Thinking of this, she thought that her son and Luo Shi were truly a perfect match, neither of them was any better.
Princess Zhennan saw Luo standing outside the house and said irritably, "Let's go!"
"Mother-in-law, where are we going?" Luo was overjoyed to see that her mother-in-law was finally willing to talk to her.
