Chapter 36 Something Happened Again
Prime Minister's Mansion, main hall.
Zhao Kangnian, who is nearly fifty years old, with white hair and a beard, looks more than ten years older than his peers. He raised his eyelids and looked coldly at the door.
"Isn't the commotion outside over yet?"
The housekeeper, frightened by his master's gaze, hurried over and said, "Master, the person leading the riot is Aunt Chuntai from Prince Qing's Mansion."
"It would have been bad enough if they had just spread rumors everywhere, but they actually broke down the gate and forcibly carried the child and a few broken wooden boxes into our yard."
"The eldest daughter was always ostentatious when she was alive. The neighbors and shops around here all know her, and the people outside the gate are talking about her... Your servant, your servant really doesn't know what to do."
Bang!
Zhao Kangnian slammed the table, furious. "Punish? I'm afraid the entire Xijing City is staring at my Prime Minister's Mansion right now!"
After closing his eyes and taking a few breaths, he said sternly, "First, settle that evil creature down. Don't let her die!"
"Settle down?" Butler Zhao was suddenly startled. "Master, do you really want to keep that child here?"
Zhao Kangnian had a solemn expression. “The people in Prince Qing’s Mansion are so sure about what they say. I don’t know if Prince Qing has any evidence in his hands… If that evil creature died in my Prime Minister’s Mansion, wouldn’t it give people more reasons to criticize him?” Then he wouldn’t be able to explain himself even if he was right!
Seeing his master's voice as deep as iron and his eyes as sharp as swords, he could not hide his uneasiness.
The housekeeper was so frightened that his pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt his blood run cold, and he quickly retreated.
But just as he closed the door and retreated to the yard, he heard something happened again.
…
Just as Chuntai and his men forcibly broke down the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and carried Yun Yanyao and a few broken wooden boxes into the Zhao family courtyard in front of the onlookers...
Just as they were about to leave, Yun Yanyao bravely grabbed Chuntai's sleeve.
Yun Yanyao, who had been worried all day about not being able to open the five broken wooden boxes, looked at the unfamiliar Zhao family members and had to bite the bullet and ask Chuntai to help her open the boxes.
There was no way, those were the return gifts she had obtained from Tang Bao with great effort.
She was convinced that there were the latest styles of dresses and jewelry in it, and she wanted to dress up beautifully to meet her grandfather.
"..." Chuntai curled her lips and laughed sarcastically. She thought to herself, at this time, she was still thinking about these things?
"Help her open it."
Bang bang bang bang...
Five wooden boxes were opened one after another. Yun Yanyao hurriedly climbed onto the boxes and stood on tiptoe to see what was inside.
She reached out and flipped through it, her face suddenly turned pale and she collapsed to the ground, not even having the strength to cry.
"Why are all the things here old?" These junks are not even as good as the ones she gave away before!
Seeing her disappointed look, Chuntai laughed coldly.
"I remember my princess said, 'Gifts should be exchanged, old for old...' You gave Princess Zhaoning five boxes of old things. Do you really expect her to give you new things in return?"
"But our Princess Zhaoning has always been kind and righteous. These are the little princess's favorite clothes, hats, shoes, and socks from her time at the Shen Mansion, as well as the toy wooden hairpin. The princess told Miss Yan Yao to keep them with peace of mind. There's no need to thank her."
"......?" Yun Yanyao was dumbfounded. Although the things she sent to Lifengtang were old, they were all of high quality and about 70% to 80% new. Some of the jewelry was even worth some silver!
That damn Yuntang, how could she play such tricks on her?
No wonder no one was willing to help her open the boxes at Prince Qing's Mansion... So they were afraid she'd go after that bitch!?
Chuntai led his men away.
Looking at the other person's back getting farther and farther away, Yun Yanyao finally regained her spirit and stood up from the ground.
She didn't want to exchange gifts with that bitch Yuntang anymore.
Since the Zhao family is willing to take her in, grandpa will definitely make the decision for her!
She wanted to chase after them and ask the people from Prince Qing’s Mansion to return her things!
But before she could raise her foot, a little boy rushed towards her and pushed her down.
The little boy is five years old this year. He is the son of the eldest son of the Zhao family and his wife. He is Zhao Kangnian's most beloved and only grandson.
He had heard all the rumors outside. He angrily threw the contents of the box to the ground, stepped on the rags and mocked Yun Yanyao as a beggar.
He didn't want his grandfather to take in this illegitimate daughter, and he didn't want to be ridiculed and mocked by everyone when he went to school tomorrow...
He hates this sister who has a bad background and bad character!!
How could Yun Yanyao, who has always been domineering, have ever suffered such injustice?
She glanced at the silent servants in the yard, then looked at the men, women, and children watching outside the gate, and actually started fighting with the boy.
A servant was eager to protect his master and pushed Yun Yanyao hard. The back of Yun Yanyao's head hit the screen wall and she fell to the ground and never got up again.
What you fear will come true...
Yun Yanyao died. She died in the Prime Minister's Mansion, in full view of everyone.
…
Prince Qing’s Mansion, Yiwei Hall.
Looking at the big, greasy roast chicken, little Tangbao was drooling with greed.
She secretly reached out to grab it, but her father ruthlessly slapped her little paw away.
"snort!"
"Drink big gulps of wine, eat big bites of meat, the meat must be held tightly to make it taste good!"
The little girl hugged her elbows angrily, and as soon as she pouted, a small piece of steaming chicken was fed to her mouth.
Hmm~
It smells so good...
"Awoo!" She opened her mouth wide, trying to eat more fiercely on purpose to scare her father, but the moment she held the meat in her mouth, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she swayed her little body and smiled with a pair of dimples.
"Great, great! Tangbao wants more!"
"..." The man smiled dotingly, picked up a large piece of chicken leg with the skin on, blew on it gently and put it in her hand.
"It's hot, eat slowly." He continued to tear the chicken into strips and put them in the small bowl in front of Tang Bao.
Soon, the two big fish that the guards had bought from the market were grilled, and Prince Qing was busy helping the little guy pick out the fish bones.
By the time the little guy was full, the fire in front of the two of them was almost burning.
"Isn't Daddy a bit chubby?"
"Isn't Daddy hungry?"
Little Tangbao lay on his father's knees, his big eyes rolling around, and his cute appearance made people's hearts soften.
He was a little hungry, but after feeding the child, he had no appetite at all...
He smiled faintly and said, "Daddy is not hungry. Daddy will be full just by smelling the fragrance." He didn't want the little guy to worry about him.
"Really?!" Little Tangbao jumped up suddenly, his joy visibly evident.
She picked up the large bowl with two chicken legs beside her and said happily, "Daddy is not hungry, then Tang Bao will take the meat!"
Prince Qing: “…”
The guards left that for him because they were afraid he would be hungry.
The little thing in love is not concerned about herself, but is thinking about his chicken legs...
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that he was being a little too sentimental.
"Eating too much will make your stomach hurt. You are not allowed to eat anymore!" He was about to reach out to grab the little guy's bowl, but Tang Bao dodged it nimbly.
"Tangbao is very full. This time, Tangbao wants to give it to someone else." After saying that, the little girl ran away with the bowl, as if she was afraid that her father would snatch it from her.
Prince Qing was stunned. He wanted to see who she was going to give the chicken leg to.
