Chapter 367
"Is there some secret in Qin Lou?" Zhu Jingchen tapped the table lightly, thinking to himself, if there wasn't something in Qin Lou, why was the Lan Huai Prince's Mansion so persistent?
“There shouldn’t be anything wrong with Qin Lou. After all, Qin Lou was a restaurant given to me by my former owner. I ran it for a while before and there were no problems,” Cheng Qingli quickly said.
Otherwise, if Qin Lou had a problem, she should have discovered it long ago.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the concubine of Prince Lanhuai's mansion may have been unhappy that Miss Cheng had won too much money from her, and that's why she wanted to kill her?" Xu Heming quickly said.
"In that case, the possibility of Lan Huaiwang's concubine being his concubine is indeed greater than that of Miss Li." The Grand Princess thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, if this matter was indeed done by the concubine of Prince Lanhuai's mansion, I beg Your Majesty to give my Cheng family justice." Without thinking, the Empress knelt directly in front of Zhu Jingchen and pleaded for mercy.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, if this matter is truly the work of the Prince of Lanhuai's mansion, I will not tolerate it." Zhu Jingchen had no particular relationship with his uncle, the Prince of Lanhuai.
Although he was his imperial uncle, the late emperor had so many brothers, and the true brothers born of the same mother were long gone.
The only reason he kept Lan Huaiwang alive was because Lan Huaiwang was no longer a threat to him, so he didn't deal with him.
However, if he doesn't know what's good for him, he wouldn't mind taking action against him.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Cheng Qingli remembered Li Zhiwei's instructions and mustered her courage to speak to Zhu Jingchen.
"Qingli, if you have something to say, just say it." Zhu Jingchen was quite curious about his sister-in-law, who usually had a rather unconventional personality.
But in front of me, they are incredibly obedient.
"Sister Li said that Your Majesty should investigate the Prince of Nalan's residence carefully. After all, the Huo family was punished by Your Majesty and was to be exiled, but he married a daughter of the Huo family. The land deed that I won was also taken from a daughter of the Huo family. Sister Li said that there might be some conspiracy between them." Cheng Qingli thought for a moment and then said these words.
“Your Majesty, the Huo family’s property has been confiscated and the Huo family has been sentenced to exile. However, before the exile, Prince Lan Huai married a woman from the Huo family as a concubine. The crime does not apply to a married woman,” Eunuch Liu quickly said from the side.
"Have someone find Manager Xu and ask him to give you the land deed that Miss Cheng gave him today. Prince An, have someone investigate that mountain again later." Zhu Jingchen wondered if there was some treasure hidden in that mountain.
Li family
After Li Zhiwei finished tidying up, she had someone invite the maids over.
The six maids had already changed into the clothes prepared by the Li family and stood in front of Li Zhiwei, all bowing obediently.
"No need for formalities." Li Zhiwei looked at the group and nodded in satisfaction. They changed into the Li family's clothing, which made them look more energetic than before.
"Please bestow a name upon me, Miss!" Feng Wu stepped forward, bowed to Li Zhiwei, and said.
After all, now that they have a new master, they can no longer use their old names.
This was a decision made after discussion among the group.
“You can use your current names if you want,” Li Zhiwei said, looking at the group.
After all, their names likely tell their own unique stories.
"Please bestow a name upon us, Miss!" The group exchanged glances and finally decided to let Li Zhiwei give them a name.
Li Zhiwei looked at the group, nodded, and said.
"I hope that from now on you will know what your responsibilities are, so let's name you with the character 'zhi' (知). From now on, you will be called Zhiqin (知琴), Zhiqi (知棋), Zhishu (知书), Zhihua (知画), Zhiya (知雅), and Zhiyi (知艺)!" Li Zhiwei pointed to Fengwu, Qinya, Qiuyue, Dujuan, Liuzhi, and Cuier and said in turn.
