Chapter 430: No Place for Heroes



Yan Shiyue stayed at home for two days.

Then the little brother sent someone to present the "Fu Niang Fruit", which was actually the fruit she grafted when she was in Qinzhou.

Grafted peaches and apricots are the most delicious, grafted apples and pears have the highest survival rate, and there is not much difference among the others, but in Qinzhou, they are collectively called "Fu Niang Fruit".

After Emperor Ming Yan received it, he immediately gave it away as a reward, and many people received it.

The Fourth Prince had a very keen political sense. He came to her immediately and asked her to write down the grafting method and put it in the Yanbao.

Yan Shiyue took him to the study and wrote on the spot, saying to him: "The grafting will have to wait until spring. In fact, there is no rush to release it now, otherwise it will be troublesome for these people to preserve the wild goose newspaper."

The fourth prince nodded: "I understand."

Yan Shiyue finished writing it and gave it to him. He then asked, "Is this also innate knowledge? Alcohol, clairvoyance, and so on?"

Yan Shiyue squinted at him: "Do you have to ask this question every time? There are too many things in this world that you cannot understand. If you try to get to the bottom of everything, you will be exhausted." She patted his shoulder worriedly: "You have to learn to muddle through."

The fourth prince glared at her and said, "I always feel that you are not yourself, but someone else."

...

...

Yan Shiyue: “…”

She was about to scream like a groundhog in her heart, but her face remained calm: "Yes, I am a fairy, don't you know?"

He stared at her: "Are you really a fairy?"

Yan Shiyue: “…”

She held her forehead and could only say, "Go away, I can't talk to you."

The Fourth Prince refused to leave. He didn't have many errands to do, so when he saw that she didn't go out, he followed her. It was as if he was waiting to witness with his own eyes what new things she would come up with.

Is Yan Shiyue afraid of being seen? She is not afraid. She will read the storybook when it is time to read it and serve the meal when it is time.

While eating, Wei Bo said to her, "Master, now people are saying that you are unlucky in marriage."

Yan Shiyue asked: "What happened?"

"Some dirty things." Wei Bo curled her lips and said, "That Yan Tingyue, didn't she claim that she was pregnant with the Third Master's child? Then she gave birth the night before yesterday, and then the palace maid came and wanted to take the child away and sentence her to death. Who knew that her maid rushed up and said that the child was not the Third Prince's..."

She paused. "Anyway, the Jade Appraisal Bureau was summoned, and it turned out that she was not the one. It was really embarrassing, so they sentenced her to death together. The maid laughed and said that she was finally dead or something. She also said that she tortured her every day. I heard that..."

She couldn't bear it, and whispered, "I heard that she took off her clothes in public like a madman, and her thighs were full of holes from hairpins. The new wounds overlapped the old ones, just like scales. It was scary."

The Fourth Prince had never seen such a servant before. How could he say such things to his master? He said such things while eating. How... how was he serving his master?

He clapped his chopsticks and wanted to speak.

Yan Shiyue was also shocked and asked, "Then what?"

Wei Bo shook his head: "I don't know."

Yan Shiyue called out, "Jiahe."

Jiahe responded through the window, and Yan Shiyue said, "Find someone to check. If this maid is not dead, take care of her."

Jiahe went there in response.

The fourth prince was stunned. He really didn't expect Yan Shiyue's first reaction to be this. He thought he cared about the people's livelihood, but compared to her, he was really far behind.

Yan Shiyue didn't know that her image in the Fourth Prince's mind had suddenly become taller. In fact, she was the kind of person who would take care of herself if she met someone, but would not look for him if she didn't meet him.

She frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "What does this have to do with me? Why is I involved?"

Wei Bo said, "I heard that because of this incident, the eldest lady of the palace's main house was divorced by her in-laws, and the other party who had originally arranged the marriage for the fourth lady also regretted it, saying that they didn't dare to offend the palace, but they also didn't dare to marry the daughter of this family."

Yan Shiyue was speechless: "Is this okay?"

The fourth prince said, "This is the superficial reason. In fact, it is because you and the eldest branch of the palace are not on good terms. They took this opportunity to draw a clear line between you and the eldest branch. If you can please them, then please them. Even if you can't please them, they won't be implicated."

Yan Shiyue was touched by him, and then she suddenly realized: "So that's it."

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find my mother. Fourth brother, just eat slowly. You're welcome."

The fourth prince nodded.

Yan Shiyue went to the Prince's Mansion. When she entered the door, she heard that her aunt Dong was also there.

Dong gave birth to two sons and one daughter. The eldest son died early, and the eldest daughter was the divorced aunt Yan Qiluo.

Before Yan Shiyue arrived, she heard Dong's crying. Dong cried, "We are a family. We are still connected. It's a mess. Outsiders will laugh at us. The elders will feel bad. Just think of it as giving us a hand for the sake of the old prince. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."

Meng Min said: "I was also caught off guard by this incident. That beast was originally the daughter of a bandit, not a member of our family. What does she have to do with the eldest and fourth wives? Why do you hold a grudge against them?"

Mrs. Dong cried, "How can those people reason with us? Yan Tingyue died, but it was my wife who was implicated..."

Yan Shiyue didn't have the brains to deal with this matter, and didn't know how to deal with it. Their relationship with the first wife was not good, and they were unwilling to stand up for the first wife, but they didn't tear each other apart, so did they have to whitewash it?

She went in and sat next to Meng Min.

Mrs. Dong's crying suddenly became much quieter.

Meng Min has a gentle and kind personality and doesn't get angry easily, so all you have to do to her is play the victim, but towards Yan Shiyue, she is really a little scared.

Meng Min frowned: "Then what do you think should be done?"

Mrs. Dong glanced at Yan Shiyue and said with a chuckle, "Can I ask you to give me some help to send Madam back..."

Yan Shiyue couldn't help but interrupt: "Why wasn't Second Mother sent back?"

Dong choked.

Yan Shiyue said: "To put it bluntly, this is just an excuse! Either it's because the relationship between the Madam and her husband's family is not good, or it's because her husband's family is trying to curry favor with the powerful. No matter what the reason is, the Madam won't be able to live well if she goes back. Can't your family afford to support a young lady? Why send her back?"

Mrs. Dong really cried this time: "Your Highness..." She crawled down and kowtowed: "Auntie, a married woman, living in her parents' home will make people poke her in the back!"

Well, that's the limitation of the times.

Yan Shiyue avoided her greeting and wanted to speak, but Meng Min slapped her in the face and said, "Go out and play, kid, don't get involved in this!"

Yan Shiyue was driven out in disgrace. He looked up at the sky, feeling depressed as if he was a hero but had no place to use his talents.

In the end, the matter was resolved by Meng Min hosting a banquet and inviting Aunt Yan's husband's family. Then the next day, the husband's family took Aunt Yan back home, and the matter was considered settled.

In fact, Yan Shiyue really didn’t understand.

Can a royal palace be easily bullied? When she held her coming-of-age party, Dong was also there. Everyone knew that they were a family and they had not fallen out. Besides, the old prince was still there... Why did she dare to do this?
