Fei Qing and Jiang Xuelin, in just a few words, made Princess Dun so angry that she felt short of breath and her chest tightened, but... she had to endure it.
Seriously...it infuriates her!
"Naughty." Princess Ping had no intention of scolding Jiang Xuelin. She simply reached out her free hand and poked Jiang Xuelin's forehead. They looked more like a mother and daughter than a mother and daughter, and even mothers and daughters might not be this affectionate.
However, they didn't realize that Princess Ping was already used to having a bunch of troublemakers at home. Besides, if it weren't for Jiang Xuelin, she wouldn't even have grandchildren, let alone her son.
In any case, Princess Ping would never do anything to Jiang Xuelin; she is the great benefactor of the entire Ping Prince's Mansion.
Her grandson was nothing compared to her son, and she knew all too well what kind of health Fu Hanlai had when he was a child. It was no big deal that her grandchildren had come to be with some difficulty, and she wouldn't blame Jiang Xuelin for it.
...Of course, given the current state of the three little devils in the family, Princess Ping also hoped that her grandchildren could arrive later, so that she could at least be mentally prepared. Otherwise, if another little devil were to come... she felt that she might really die young.
Jiang Xuelin wasn't angry when she was tapped on the forehead. Instead, she smiled, exchanged a glance with Fei Qing, and then immediately looked away, not looking at her again.
Fei Qing gave Jiang Xuelin a deep look before shifting his gaze away.
She thought that just by looking at how Princess Ping protected her sister Xue Lin today, she knew that Xue Lin must be doing well in the Prince Ping's mansion.
—That's true. If she weren't doing well, how could she be out running around all day? Doesn't that already show that the Prince Ping's mansion treats Jiang Xuelin very well and has no intention of confining her, giving her enough freedom?
This is fine too.
Hu was so angry at these sarcastic remarks that she almost lost her temper. Just then, Emperor Xuande arrived with the Empress Dowager and Empress, and the family banquet officially began. At this moment, no matter how unwilling Hu was, she dared not say anything more.
The other women around, watching this scene, immediately shook their heads inwardly.
Princess Consort Dun is no good; her methods are too simplistic and foolish. Yet, she's also rather self-righteous, thinking herself quite clever.
On the contrary, the Princess Consort of Chengjun is quite good. As for the Princess Consort of the Heir Apparent of Ping... I won't comment on that.
The family banquet then quieted down considerably. Some elders wanted to speak with Princess Ping, since the trouble Jiang Xuelin and her group had caused was quite serious. Some of the men in their families were also keeping harem women, and they had been reprimanded by Emperor Xuande.
But given the current situation, who dares to speak up?
Neither of these two women, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, are easy to deal with. If Princess Ping had any opinions or dissatisfaction with Jiang Xuelin, that would be one thing, but that's clearly not the case now.
The situation on the men's side wasn't peaceful either. Prince Dun was reprimanded. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't appropriate to confine someone during the New Year's family banquet, he probably wouldn't have shown up at this time. Prince Dun naturally hated Fu Yunhui, the one who exposed everything.
Of course, he also hated Fu Hanlai, the culprit, but he had already suffered a setback with Fu Hanlai last time, and he wasn't stupid enough to ignore people's feelings and continue to fawn over him this time.
The entire Pingwang family is a bunch of scoundrels, they're all scoundrels.
and……
Prince Dun knew that the Ping Prince's Mansion must know about his scheme to arrange the marriage between Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai. He just didn't know if the white-clad woman with golden lotuses from a few days ago was also arranged by him.
Therefore, at this moment, Prince Dun bypassed Fu Han and directly targeted Fu Yunhui.
Fortunately, it was a family dinner on New Year's Eve, so no one dared to cause a big scene. They only dared to exchange a few sarcastic and malicious remarks.
After the family banquet ended, on the carriage back to the Prince Ping's residence, Fu Hanlai couldn't help but sneer.
"You didn't see my two good cousins, their faces were really beautiful."
It's really meaningless.
In the palace, the only people Fu Hanlai cared about were the Xuande Emperor and the Empress Dowager, who had always doted on him. The only other person he had some affection for was the Crown Prince.
When he was young, he was in poor health and lived in the palace for a period of time. The Crown Prince was also young at the time, but he acted like a little adult and played with him, saying that he wanted to take care of his younger brother.
After all, the mothers of the Second and Third Princes dared not let them play with the Crown Prince, fearing that they would be mistreated, which would leave the Crown Prince with only Fu Han to play with.
Jiang Xuelin also recounted what happened at the family dinner, and the two of them then burst into laughter.
After returning to the palace, the two tidied up and lay down.
Jiang Xuelin was still preoccupied with Fu Hanlai's smugness earlier, and although she had already lay down, she immediately turned over and sat up again.
"What's wrong?"
"Let's hurry up and make up for those three times."
She didn't want to give Fu Hanlai another chance to mock her, so she wanted to turn the tables and end everything as soon as possible.
Fu Hanlai: "..."
After a moment of silence, he rolled up the covers and sat up. "...I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do. You go to sleep first. I'm going to the study to find something."
As he spoke, Fu Hanlai lifted the covers and tried to get out of bed.
I'm outta here.
I regret it so much. I wish he hadn't said that.
Why did he say that?
It's not like I don't know Jiang Xuelin's personality, so why?
Why, why, why?
Unfortunately, even if he wanted to run, it depended on whether Jiang Xuelin was willing to let him. If Jiang Xuelin wasn't willing, even if she lent him another leg, he still wouldn't be able to escape.
So, as soon as he stood up, his undergarment was grabbed by the back of his neck, and his forward steps immediately froze in mid-air.
