No matter what the outcome of Chen Boyang's case is, Chen Xinyue is not a member of the Zhao family after all. It is reasonable for her to find her uncle, Governor Fang, and seek refuge with him.
Zhao Letong did not try to keep her, as it was not right for her to stay and Sister Chen would not be happy to stay there.
However, I still notified Zhao Youping and asked him to go there in person to maintain the relationship. Whether it succeeds or not depends on my nephew's ability.
No one can help her in pursuing girls.
Zhao Youping came back feeling very lost and a little depressed.
Zhao Letong was surprised. [What's wrong, nephew? Did you break up?]
Chen Xinyue also showed some concern: "Master, what happened?"
Zhao Youping said, "Chen Boyang's case is already a done deal, but the higher-ups haven't convicted him yet, saying they have new clues.
Our Lord is also furious. The higher-ups said they would hand the case over to the Ministry of Justice. If this person leaves, who knows what will happen?"
It turned out that it was because of this that Zhao Youping worked so hard for so long but still couldn't bring Chen Boyang to justice, and he felt guilty towards Chen Xinyue.
Chen Xinyue disagreed, "Because of this, there is no need to be like this, my uncle already knows about it. There are other reasons for this matter, and it has nothing to do with you.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to our family. I will definitely be there for you if you need me in the future."
"Why?"
Zhao Youping is a stubborn person and no matter what the reason, he cannot be above the law.
Because Prince Ning had pleaded for mercy, this was crucial to the stability of the imperial court. Prince Ning was a vassal king with considerable influence in the south, already a force to be reckoned with.
Chen Boyang was quite lucky. His first wife was the daughter of Prince Ning. These gigolos are more powerful than the last.
[Don't worry, Chen Boyang is dead. Not only the Prince of Ning, but even the emperor can't save him.]
Zhao Youping understood, but felt even more powerless.
"Let me take you back."
"Thank you very much."
Chen Xinyue did not refuse and said goodbye to Mrs. Zhao. Zhao Letong accompanied her nephew to Fang Jingan's new house.
It is a quarter of an hour away from the Zhao family and is also in the downtown area, but it is very quiet and a good place to find peace in the hustle and bustle.
The yard is not big, with only five entrances, which is enough for the two of them to live in.
There was a sign of Fang Mansion hanging on the gate, and the door was closed tightly, very low-key.
There are servants in the house who are always on duty. Most of them are retired old people from the palace. They are quite old and look decadent.
Zhao Letong walked in and took a look around. "The feng shui of this house isn't very good."
Zhao Youping raised an eyebrow and asked the old eunuch who led the way, "Has the feng shui of this house been checked? Is it a bad omen?"
The old eunuch disagreed: "They are just eunuchs, how can the feng shui be good? It's good enough that they have a place to live."
Zhao Letong was not convinced: "You are eunuchs, but Sister Chen is not. She wants to live here, so you can't fool her."
The old eunuch smiled and said, "A girl is already this old. She won't be able to live here for long before she marries someone else. That's enough. Why are you making such a big fuss about moving the house?"
Zhao Youping was not very satisfied. This old eunuch seemed to be taking advantage of his seniority.
Chen Xinyue shook her head and stopped them from continuing.
Her yard was ready, but it lacked the delicate and bright look of a girl. It looked gloomy, with no one taking care of the flowers, plants, and trees. The three people all looked unhappy.
The old eunuch bowed and apologized: "There are few people in the mansion, and the governor rarely comes back. I am sorry for my incompetence. Miss, please bear with me.
These two maids are retired from the palace. They can teach you etiquette and needlework. You can take a rest. If you have anything, tell this old servant."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Xinyue sent him away, and Zhao Letong slammed the table: "Is this place habitable? Sister Chen, you should live in my house. My family likes you."
Chen Xinyue shook her head: "It's not that bad, it's much better than the countryside, and the location of this house is very good.
I also understand the thoughts of these old eunuchs. My uncle had no family before, and this house was their retirement home. Now that I'm back, they definitely don't want to have another master.
I've told my uncle about this, and he'll take care of it. Don't be angry, little Letong. I'm not angry at all. You're not very old, but you have a lot of temper."
Zhao Youping said, "Everything else is fine, but there's something wrong with the house's feng shui. We should ask someone to take a look. We can't be careless about this."
"I'll tell my uncle."
Zhao Letong stood up and said, "I'm going to go out for a walk. My nephew, please help Sister Chen clean up the house."
Zhao Youping couldn't help either, but he was okay at washing and rinsing. Although he was the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family didn't spoil boys, he was used to doing housework, and he did these things properly, which made Chen Xinyue even more satisfied.
In ancient times, it was rare to find a nobleman as humble as him.
Two maids came in and saw Zhao Youping, their faces changed drastically: "Who are you? How can a man from outside stay in the young lady's room? Get out now."
"This is the eldest son of the Zhao family. He brought me back and helped me clean up. The kitchen should prepare more lunch. I want to treat the eldest son of the Zhao family to a simple meal."
Chen Xinyue quickly explained that she knew that in ancient times, men and women were strictly separated, and some even reached a perverted level. However, in this era, some rules had to be adapted to. It was not like in modern times where men and women could be so carefree and be friends.
In fact, even in modern times, pure friendships between men and women are rare. One must have a sense of propriety and not cross the line.
The nanny, however, had a stern face, looking serious and old-fashioned, even more unkind than Nun Miejue: "No, the governor is not at home, there is no one to entertain you, and the young lady is also a member of a wealthy family, so you must abide by the rules and pay attention to your reputation. This time you are ignorant, but if you do it again, I will beat you with a big stick."
