Fei Qing didn't want to lose Jiang Xuelin as a friend.
It wasn't because Jiang Xuelin could bring her any benefits, or because being on good terms with her would be advantageous to her; rather, it was because Jiang Xuelin held a special place in her heart.
Being with Jiang Xuelin, she could feel the pent-up emotions within her being released.
Jiang Xuelin is too carefree.
Different from oneself.
Being with Jiang Xuelin made her feel relaxed; it was the kind of life she envied and wanted.
Fei Qing knew that she was too greedy; she wanted everything.
However, when the Third Prince asked her to scheme against Jiang Xuelin and use her, she still resisted for no apparent reason.
She herself did the same thing back then, scheming against Jiang Xuelin's marriage, taking advantage of Jiang Xuelin's kind heart, and using her understanding of her to achieve her own goals.
Even though Fei Qing didn't want to lose Jiang Xuelin as a friend, she knew in her heart that she was probably going to lose her Xuelin sister.
Sister Xue Lin is kind-hearted, but she's not really stupid.
When Fu Yunhui heard Fei Qing say this, he understood her meaning and felt somewhat displeased. "This matter is left to the Princess. If you can't even handle such a small matter, the Princess should hand over the household affairs in the inner quarters as soon as possible."
This means that if Fei Qing can't even do this, then her housekeeping power will be taken away.
Although the mistress of the house has the final say in the inner courtyard, everything is naturally based on the head of the household. As the male head of the Chengjun Prince's Mansion, Fu Yunhui can naturally take away the power of house management from Fei Qing and hand it over to the two concubines.
Even if this matter were brought before his mother, the outcome would be the same.
After all, a family background can't offer him much help, nor can it help him connect with the ladies of various families. Being a good socialite like a princess is really not very useful.
He has great ambitions in his heart; how could he possibly have time for such trivial matters?
Fei Qing's smile was somewhat forced as he nodded in agreement, "When I establish my own residence, I will naturally invite Sister Xue Lin. It's been inconvenient in the palace, and I haven't been able to have a proper conversation with Sister Xue Lin."
Fu Yunhui was satisfied and then rested in Fei Qing's courtyard.
This should have been a good thing for Fei Qing, but she just couldn't fall asleep.
She recalled the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet a few days ago, when the Prince of Ping refuted Fu Yunhui's words, saying that his wife was not a bird locked in a cage, but an eagle soaring in the sky.
Jiang Xuelin was unaware of Fei Qing's thoughts at this moment. Her life was not much different from before, and now the second episode of "The Sun Shines Brightly" had also been released.
The first issue was given away for free to passersby to promote the tabloid's existence, but the second issue was sold directly.
Of course, the price wasn't high, only two coins, while a cup of tea by the roadside cost two or three coins.
Compared to the explosive news in the first issue, this issue of the tabloid didn't have any major events, just some small rumors about families. For example, there was the story of the discord between the third and fourth branches of the Ningguo Duke's family. It made ordinary people realize that wealthy families are just like them, with many brothers in the family, and there will be some friction more or less.
Of course, those families whose dirty laundry had been published in the tabloids really wanted to beat up Jiang Xuelin and the others, but unfortunately, no one could afford to mess with the two ringleaders.
Moreover, ordinary people found the tabloids quite interesting. After all, ordinary people are very curious about the affairs of the powerful and wealthy. With the first issue as a precedent, others were now willing to spend a couple of coins to read it.
When the King and his wife found out, they summoned the two of them to inquire about it.
Nowadays, people believe in keeping family scandals private. Even if something happens in the family, they won't let outsiders know for the sake of face. This is especially true for wealthy and powerful families, who care even more about their reputation. The existence of these tabloids has offended almost everyone in the imperial court.
"Mother, but your son is just a spoiled brat. So what if I offended him? I won't commit any other crimes. And as long as I don't cause any major trouble, everything will be fine." Fu Hanlai wasn't worried at all, and he even enjoyed watching the spectacle.
He used to be one of those people to be looked at. Although it's true that he was a playboy, it's hard to say how that reputation got out.
As for what has happened since he fell into the water and was rescued by Jiang Xuelin, there's no need to go into details.
Countless people were involved behind the scenes. Those rumors, those petty people who dared not act openly but used rumors to achieve their goals, and those who were not originally involved but fueled the flames for their own purposes.
Fu Hanlai holds grudges very well.
What, are they the only ones who can do it, but Fu Hanlai can't?
When they were spreading rumors about them with ulterior motives and secretly stirring things up, did they never think that they themselves would become the center of attention?
In any case, Fu Hanlai and Jiang Xuelin were in complete agreement on this matter.
So you really enjoy spreading rumors and gossip? Then let's all have some fun together!
If they like this tactic so much, they probably don't mind their company becoming the center of attention.
He wasn't like those insects and rats hiding in the shadows; he would do it openly and honestly, telling everyone—yes, it was this young master who did it, so what?
If you disagree, hit me!
Impeachment is a sign of guilt, of having something to hide, and of being afraid of being exposed.
If they don't impeach, they won't see it and won't be bothered, but their own family might end up in the tabloids—and it'll probably all be for some trivial matter.
It's not that people are panicking, but it's really annoying.
Even the emperor's secret guards and censors couldn't keep track of all the officials in the capital, let alone a few playboys creating tabloids.
It's really annoying.
If I had to describe it, it would be like having flies buzzing around in front of you. You can't see them, and you can't kill them, but they just keep buzzing in your ear.
Those who felt there was nothing wrong at home naturally had no worries, while those whose homes were in complete disarray went back to warn everyone not to tell outsiders what had happened at home.
Upon hearing Fu Hanlai's words, Princess Ping's face instantly became indescribable, while Prince Ping himself seemed somewhat worried for himself.
"Ah Shou, your father has a question for you."
Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai exchanged a glance, then looked at Prince Ping.
"If you make a mistake in the future and I punish you, you won't... seek revenge by posting your father's name in the tabloids, will you?"
That's actually quite possible!
After all, Prince Ping knew in his heart that although he was indeed in good health, he had quite a few minor flaws and weaknesses. Other people's sons might not treat their fathers like this, but his son Ashou... that was really not necessarily true.
"Father, how can you think of your son like that? Am I that kind of person?"
Fu Hanlai looked shocked, as if he was hurt by the Prince of Ping's skeptical attitude.
Jiang Xuelin glanced at it, then looked away.
This is so hypocritical...
