Chapter 478 Zhao Lingmeng's Move
Fan Houyang did not leave immediately, but watched Yuan Xiangxuan go in with his own eyes before turning around and returning to the Princess's Mansion with his men.
Chunshui also followed Fan Houyang silently, without any intention of being a close servant.
When Fan Houyang returned, he thought that by this time everyone in the house should be asleep, so he went straight back to his yard.
In fact, only Zhao Houjing was asleep. Zhao Lingmeng and Zhao Houming were waiting for Fan Houyang to come back.
Zhao Houming didn't put down his book and went to sleep until he heard the servants report that the third young master had returned. Zhao Lingmeng, on the other hand, waited until Chunshui came back to report before going to bed.
On the second day, the first thing Zhao Lingmeng did after waking up was to ask someone to bring out the two nannies from Yuan Mansion and question them. After the questioning, he asked someone to send them back to the queen.
It was obvious that Zhao Lingmeng did not approve of the abilities of these two maids.
After Chunshui and the others brought the two maids out and interrogated them professionally, the results were in Zhao Lingmeng's hands.
Zhao Lingmeng had originally thought the two maids were simply neglecting their duties, but she eventually discovered they were actually from the Duke of Cheng'en's mansion. More precisely, they were the Duke of Cheng'en's wife's people. Even if the drama yesterday hadn't happened at the Su residence, it would have happened at another mansion.
They are all fighting for the position of Madam Fan Houyang, so these two maids are in big trouble.
Zhao Lingmeng was so angry that she almost died. She had asked the Queen Mother to directly bestow the title on the person just to prevent others from tampering with the person. The result was really beyond her expectation.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Qiuyue, who was standing next to Zhao Lingmeng, had obviously seen the content above and was also very worried.
"Tell me about the next generation of the Cheng'en Mansion!" Zhao Lingmeng felt that not fighting back had never been her style, but this was probably the extent of her relationship with the Queen!
Chunshui felt that this matter was difficult to handle, mainly because although the son of the Cheng'en Mansion was not very promising, he really didn't cause much trouble. However, she still reported truthfully:
"The Crown Prince of Duke Cheng'en's mansion holds a sinecure, but he has a daughter who is about the same age as our Third Young Master. Apart from Duke Cheng'en, everyone else also holds a sinecure."
Zhao Lingmeng rubbed her brows and softly instructed, "Send the things and the people to the palace and present them to the Queen. Tell her that this is my intention. The Queen and the old lady of Duke Cheng'en don't have to worry about Yang'er's wife anymore."
Zhao Lingmeng also felt troubled at the moment. She was too closely tied to the prince's lineage. Let's see how the queen handles it first! In any case, Zhao Lingmeng couldn't swallow this anger.
Finally, Zhao Ling dreamed about it again and again, and finally she decided that she must make the wife of Duke Cheng'en fall flat on her face. She would not vent her anger on other people, but since every grievance has its perpetrator, she would make trouble for Duke Cheng'en!
Zhao Lingmeng's trouble was very direct. She went to the palace in person to tell the emperor about the hard work of Lord Cheng'en and asked the emperor to give Lord Cheng'en two beautiful concubines.
Although the emperor was surprised that Funing suddenly thought of giving a concubine to Duke Cheng'en, he would not give Funing a favor on such a small matter.
Moreover, Lian Cheng'en himself was willing to do this. Who doesn't like young and beautiful women? Now that the emperor wants to give him a concubine, he is a subject and it is difficult for him to refuse.
Duke Cheng'en: He looked helpless on the outside, but was smiling in his heart.
A world where only Lady Cheng'en is hurt is achieved.
When Zhao Lingmeng talked about this, Crown Prince Yang Chengchen was also present. As soon as Zhao Lingmeng left the palace, Yang Chengchen went straight to his mother's palace.
When Yang Chengchen arrived, the Queen was just about to have someone call the old lady of Cheng'engong into the palace. Seeing Yang Chengchen coming, she was very surprised, "Chen'er, why are you here at this hour? Is there something urgent?"
Yang Chengchen quickly explained his purpose, "Grandmother, have you offended Aunt Funing?"
"You know too?" The queen was surprised at how well-informed the prince was, but she only asked this question and handed the memorial in her hand to Yang Chengchen.
As Yang Chengchen watched, he recounted what had just happened. "Aunt Funing just came into the palace and praised my grandfather in front of the emperor, asking him to grant him two concubines. The emperor approved it, and the imperial decree should have been issued by now."
"What?" The queen stood up in surprise.
As a woman, the Queen knew exactly what this meant. Her mother wasn't one to tolerate others. If she didn't take action against the two concubines, her mother would be unhappy. If she did, she might even be reported.
Crown Prince Yang Chengchen read quickly, finishing the memorial in no time. He simply put it aside with a lack of interest. After reading the whole story, he decided not to bother with the matter anymore.
The prince also felt that his grandmother had acted foolishly. He had heard from his younger brother that his third cousin was very fond of his future wife. Wasn't this a clear attempt to make an enemy?
The Queen didn't want her mother to suffer alone in her old age, so she looked at her eldest son with hope, "Chen'er, can you please go and ask your father for help?"
"No, unless mother wants us to completely break off relations with Aunt Funing. Who knows who will benefit then?" The prince felt that he also hated people who wanted to get their hands on something. How could someone who could become the eldest princess not have a temper?
"But, but, your grandmother is old enough, I'm worried she can't bear it." The queen was really filial. Although she felt that Funing had done them a favor, she still knew the difference between inside and outside.
"Oh, if grandma dares to take action, you have to catch it yourself. Miss Yuan's mother is dead, her father and stepmother are unkind, and grandma is trying to kill her directly. Aunt is just trying to make things difficult for her." It is impossible for Yang Chengchen to break up with Aunt Funing, unless he is crazy.
There will be plenty of places to ask for help in the future! If you still want to break up with me and neglect me, you might even be beaten to death by my father and grandfather.
"Chen'er, that's your grandmother." The queen's face was full of disbelief. When did her son become like this?
"Mother, I tell you the truth. If you dare to challenge Aunt Funing, my grandfather will immediately return from the Royal Courtyard and ask my father to depose the empress. If you want me to call you Mother, I will go and plead for mercy right now."
"Is that really the case?" The Queen fell to the ground in disbelief. To be honest, the Queen was still a little shocked. She originally thought that they were Fu Ning's backers, but it turned out that they were not the ones who backed them.
Yang Chengchen nodded firmly and reminded her, "You'd better tell Grandma to behave herself, otherwise I won't be able to support her. The most important thing is that she doesn't provoke Aunt Funing."
Although the queen felt bad, she nodded. Although she valued family ties, she was still rational.
