Duke Dingguo didn't believe it, but based on past experience, he still went to apologize to the Crown Prince.
Ning Yirong was about to eat when a young eunuch entered. "Your Highness, the Duke of Dingguo wishes to see you."
The original owner often went to play at the Duke of Dingguo's house when he was a child, and Ning Yirong knew immediately that it was the Duchess of Dingguo who sent the Duke. "Let him in."
A moment later, the Duke of Dingguo entered.
The Duke of Dingguo knelt down as soon as he entered. “Your Highness, I have come to apologize to you. I should have told you first that I was truly confused.”
Ning Yirong didn't let him get up. "You're confused. You should rest at home for a month. Your eldest son will take over your position for now."
The Duke of Dingguo was instantly dumbfounded. "Your...Your Highness, I..."
Ning Yirong waved his hand, and the guards dragged the Duke of Dingguo away. Ning Yirong wanted to set a rule for the other ministers: praise him, but criticize him.
The Duke of Dingguo wanted to complain to the Emperor, but he knew how much the Emperor doted on the Crown Prince.
The Duchess of Dingguo was eating when the Duke of Dingguo returned, looking dejected. "Wife, you were right again."
The Duchess of Dingguo glanced at the servants in the room. "You may all leave."
"yes."
After the servants left, the Duchess of Dingguo looked at the Duke of Dingguo and asked, "Did the Crown Prince reprimand you?"
"No."
"Then why are you acting like this?"
"The Crown Prince wants me to rest at home for a month." The Duke of Dingguo looked at his wife pitifully and said, "Wife, how did you get the idea that the Crown Prince cares so much about that little girl from the Yun family?"
The Duchess of Dingguo didn't have time to discuss that. "Then what about your job?"
"The Crown Prince has the eldest son take the blame."
Lady Dingguo patted her chest. "Phew...that scared me to death! I thought His Highness the Crown Prince was going to send you back to retire. Phew...that scared me to death!"
"Wife, how did you figure that out?"
"Feel."
"Feel?"
“Yes. If you really want me to give a reason… um… I’ve got it, Lao Bai. Lao Bai took care of Miss Yun when she was little, and the Crown Prince gave him a title, which is hereditary.”
"...You mean to say that the title of Earl of Xiaoyao wasn't something he picked up, but was given to him by the Crown Prince?"
"Most likely. Anyone who gets their hands on something like the Imperial Seal would hide it very carefully; how could it possibly be lost?"
"..."
"Alright, stop thinking about it. Just remember that Miss Yun is the Crown Prince's darling. Guards! Guards!"
"yes!"
The maidservant who was waiting outside responded and pushed open the door to come in. "Madam, what are your orders?"
"Go and call the young master over."
"yes."
A moment later, Jiang Ruilin, the heir apparent of the Duke of Dingguo, arrived. Upon arrival, he saw his father looking dejected. "Mother, what's wrong with Father?"
"Your father went to cause trouble for Miss Yun Liu."
"...Father, you are so brave. Mother, shall we go back to our hometown and hide away for a while?"
The Duke of Dingguo glared at his eldest son.
Lady Dingguo looked at the Duke of Dingguo and said, "Look, look, even Lin'er knows that Miss Yun is not to be trifled with."
"I...I'm just so angry."
"There are plenty of people who are angry, why are you the only one who stands out? You're just a fool. Lin'er, your father just went to apologize to the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince has asked your father to rest at home for a month."
"Really? I thought the Crown Prince would just send my father home to retire. It seems the Crown Prince still cherishes old friendships."
"Hmm. In addition to letting your father rest for a month, the Crown Prince also asked you to take over his position."
"Really? The Crown Prince is so good to us."
"Isn't that right?" The Duchess of Dingguo looked at the Duke of Dingguo. "Come with me to the Yun family tomorrow to apologize."
The Duke of Dingguo was extremely frustrated. "I understand."
"Let's eat. Lin'er, after you finish eating, go and thank the Crown Prince. Tell him thank you for giving you this opportunity. Also, spend more time with Yun Ruibo and Sun Xingyao. And when you're serving your father, don't make decisions on your own. If anything happens, come back and discuss it with your father. Your father is only a little lacking in interpersonal skills, but he's quite capable in other aspects."
After instructing her son, the Duchess of Dingguo sent the steward to deliver visiting cards to Old Master Yun and Old Madam Yun.
Old Master Yun and Old Madam Yun were quite puzzled when they received the visiting card from the Duke of Dingguo and his wife.
That evening, after Yun Yuqi and his brothers returned, Old Master Yun asked them if they knew why the Duke of Dingguo and his wife had come to visit them.
The visiting card expressed admiration for him.
Yun Yuqi didn't want to say it, but now...
After Yun Yuqi finished speaking, Old Master Yun wanted to immediately go and bring Sisi and Lao Bai back. "I knew those two would cause trouble when they got together. If they go out together again next time, I'm going to follow them."
Yun Yuqi: "Grandpa, Xiao Liu and Lao Bai just love to play."
"Stop defending them. Do you think I don't know them? If they think someone is pretty and try to lure them back, I...I...I'll follow them around every day."
The Yun brothers: "..." We thought you were going to say something harsh. Let's call it a day.
"Grandpa, I'm going to see what those little brats are up to?"
"Grandpa, shall I go ask Ruibo and Xingyao if they've encountered any problems?"
"Grandpa, I'm hungry. I'll go see if the food is ready."
...
In the blink of an eye, only Grandpa Yun and Grandma Yun remained in the room.
Grandpa Yun was both frustrated and helpless. "I shouldn't have let them go in the first place."
Grandma Yun thought to herself, "You can't control him anyway." "Don't worry, Xiao Liu knows what he's doing. Besides, didn't the Crown Prince say that he sent Xiao Liu out to find talent for the Emperor?"
