Chapter 340: Give Big Brother a Vixen
The wife of Marquis Jing'an was driven away in anger.
Chunxi gave Xiao Qinghe a thumbs-up. "I was just worried that He'er would take her words to heart. It's great that you can think so clearly."
Xiao Qinghe smiled faintly: "From the moment I decided to divorce, I knew what I would have to bear in the future. If I can't even bear these few words, then I am really useless."
Chunxi agreed with this. Turning around, she saw Feng Yinyin looking dazed and absent-minded. Worried that something might happen to her, she asked her to go back home first.
The opening banquet went smoothly. Mrs. Xiao took great care in preparing it. The food and drinks were all of the best quality. The topic of conversation at the table turned back to Xiao Yechen.
Although the Xiao family had not specifically mentioned Xiao Yechen before, from today's perspective, the Xiao family still values Xiao Yechen very much.
Xiao Yechen had military merits, a small family, and the Xiao family to rely on. He was indeed a good candidate for marriage. All the wives with eligible daughters at home were tempted and went to Madam Xiao in roundabout ways to inquire about the news.
Mrs. Xiao had always been vague in her words before, but today she changed her attitude and said that Xiao Yechen already had someone he liked, which made everyone disappointed.
"Didn't he say before that he was too busy with work to think about love affairs? How come he already has a girl he likes in just a few days? Madam, are you lying to us and want to keep him for your family?"
The wife of the Minister of Works was unwilling to believe it.
Her daughter had met Xiao Yechen at a palace banquet and had developed a crush on the majestic young general. She had been pestering her at home every day to ask her to help bring them together. How could she accept this news?
Madam Xiao smiled and said, "Chen'er is a well-behaved child with strong opinions. Although his last name is Xiao, he has no blood relationship with the Xiao family. If he likes a girl in my family, I can arrange a marriage for them openly. Why hide it? It's true that he has someone he likes, but he doesn't want to tell me. I can't torture him, right?"
Mrs. Xiao's words made sense. Everyone asked her again, but didn't get any useful clues, and they couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Xiao Yechen has made great contributions and has been awarded a mansion by the emperor. He can propose to the person he likes openly. But he is hesitant and unwilling to say it directly. Could it be that he likes a married woman?
These things had nothing to do with Chunxi, so Chunxi just listened and then concentrated on eating.
Seeing her enjoying the meal, Princess Hengyang couldn't help but take a few more bites, complaining, "Ah Xi lost weight very quickly after giving birth, and now she doesn't gain weight even though she eats so much. I, the princess, have been restraining myself every day, but my waist is still two times fatter than before. God is so unfair."
Giving birth is very detrimental to one's health. Although Princess Hengyang wanted to restrain herself, she could not resist the Queen and the Queen Mother who kept sending people to send nourishing food to the princess's mansion. The chefs in the princess's mansion racked their brains to make delicious food in various ways.
Chunxi said quickly, "I have a set of boxing techniques I created myself. If you don't mind, I will come to your house tomorrow to teach you. You can practice them every morning and evening after dinner, rest for an incense stick, and then practice a few times. If you persist for a month, you should see some results."
"Of course I don't mind," Princess Hengyang answered without hesitation. After a moment, she reacted and said, "Okay, I always think of Ah Xi first when I have something good, but Ah Xi hides such a good idea for himself. It's really too much."
"I'm innocent. This set of boxing techniques was also developed by me slowly after I came out of confinement. I had to practice it myself before I dared to tell the princess. Besides, the princess has the imperial physician and the palace maids taking care of her. They must have many ways to help the princess lose weight without damaging her body."
Princess Hengyang was furious when she heard this. She said angrily, "Of course they have ways, but my mother and the Empress Dowager both said that I look better when I'm fatter. How dare they ask me to lose weight?"
"That subject-wife..."
Chunxi deliberately showed hesitation, and Princess Hengyang immediately put her arm around her shoulders and threatened: "Ah Xi has already promised to teach me. If you dare to go back on your word, I will not forgive you!"
Chunxi stopped teasing the princess and responded with a smile.
Nothing happened during the banquet. Chunxi was thinking about Feng Yinyin, so he went back home as soon as the banquet ended.
As soon as she entered the door, she found A Li with his head down as if wiping away tears.
"Ali, what happened? Why are you crying?"
Chunxi was very surprised.
A Li has been in the mansion for almost a year. He is serious about his work and is positive and optimistic. He is always cheerful during the holidays and has never been sad.
"I'm fine, I just got some sand in my eye," Ah Li shook his head in denial. Chun Xi didn't believe him and kept staring at him. After a while, he whispered, "I saw someone who looked a lot like Master Lan Shu today, and he even gave me a piece of peach cake to eat."
Lan Shu?
Chunxi was stunned, but she quickly realized what was happening. She didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "Maybe they just look a bit alike. Don't cry. You get your monthly allowance now. If you like peach cakes, you can buy them yourself in the future."
A Li nodded heavily and wiped away his tears.
After comforting him, Chunxi went to the guest room.
In the room, Feng Yinyin sat there blankly, like a soulless puppet, and the food sent from the kitchen was placed on the table untouched.
Seeing Chunxi, Feng Yinyin immediately came back to her senses: "Thank you, Madam, for helping me get justice. I am willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life."
As she spoke, Feng Yinyin was about to kneel down and kowtow again. Chunxi supported her and said gently, "I am finding out the truth not only for you, but also for myself. Besides, my husband is an official, and his salary comes from the people. It is our duty to redress the grievances of the people."
Chunxi did not regard himself as a benefactor, but rather considered this as his responsibility.
Feng Yinyin didn't know how to refute for a moment and fell silent.
Chunxi handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears and asked softly, "Now that your great revenge has been achieved, what are your plans for the future, young lady?"
Feng Yinyin's face was filled with confusion.
After her mother died, she wanted to go with her. It was Uncle Hu who showed up and told her the truth, which gave her the motivation to live. Now that Su Yang and his mother have been convicted, she has lost her backbone. She originally wanted to repay Madam Shen by her side, but Madam Shen didn't want her...
After a long silence, Feng Yinyin spoke, "I want to wait until the parade of the Su family mother and son is over, then go back to Yuzhou to look after my grandfather, father, mother, and brother."
Chunxi nodded. "The officials in Yuzhou will soon receive the news and overturn your family's case. Then the government will return your clinic to you. You learned some medical skills from your grandfather, so you can continue to run the clinic. Don't be afraid. I will have Uncle Hu bring people to escort you back. They will not leave until you have settled down in Yuzhou and everything is back on track."
Feng Yinyin was not born to be a slave, and Chunxi didn't want to use that little favor to keep her by his side.
Feng Yinyin blinked and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."
Two days later, the police escorted Su Yang and his mother to parade through the streets. Early in the morning, Feng Yinyin went out.
However, she did not come back until night.
Chunxi went to teach Princess Hengyang boxing and was asked to stay overnight by Princess Hengyang. The next morning, when she got home, she saw her sister-in-law Qian and Qian's father and mother blocking the door of the mansion.
"Cao Chunxi, you are so heartless! My daughter gave birth to a big fat boy for your eldest brother. How could you put a vixen next to your eldest brother while your eldest brother's sister-in-law is not at home?"
