Feng Shuyuan had been waiting for news from Marquis Rongchang. When she heard that Marquis Rongchang had gone to invite Wang Gongfeng again, she couldn't help but smile.
My younger brother still cares about her more.
The little tricks that the wife of Marquis Rongchang used to fight her in the inner house were completely useless.
As long as her brother listened to her, she had nothing to fear.
Tingxue knew that she was in a good mood, so she dared to tease her a little: "The Marquis really treats the young lady very well, and the young lady is really happy with everything."
It would be great if everything could go as planned.
However, I guess after Princess Yonghe has really dealt with Wei An this time, she can be content for a while - Princess Yonghe has always regarded Wei An as a thorn in her eye and a thorn in her flesh, and she wishes Wei An would die. Now that she can handle this matter for the princess, it is also an opportunity to climb up.
She had already offended Concubine Peng De, who had even issued an imperial decree to reprimand her. It would be useless to curry favor with Concubine Peng De, as she would no longer be treated with favor. Princess Yongqing had always been indifferent and unattainable.
She has really seen a lot of other people's cold eyes in the past six months.
Concubine Peng De's reprimand was like a lock that locked her tightly in a cage. For more than half a year, there was basically no marriage proposal from the Rongchang Marquis' Mansion.
Even if there was, he would marry someone from a side branch. Even if there was someone who wanted to marry her, she didn't know what kind of person he was. Thinking of this, she became even more angry and it took her a long time to let out a long sigh.
Apart from the olive branch thrown by Princess Yonghe, she really had nothing.
He could only take the risk and rely on the opportunity to win the favor of Princess Yonghe to see if he could save something. Even if Princess Yonghe spoke for her, that would always be a good thing. Those noble families would choose a wife based on her reputation.
Tingxue's words made her happy after all. She hummed and told Tingxue, "Watch the Marquis's movements later. If the imperial physician doesn't come in time, remember to send someone to urge him."
She just wanted to make this matter bigger so that the Jinyiwei would be forced to close the case hastily under pressure.
Anyway, it's not a big case, and there are witnesses and physical evidence. Once the emperor urges them, they will of course be eager to get a result and settle the matter.
Tingxue agreed and put down the tent for her, allowing her to rest for a while.
I don't know how long she slept, she was still having a beautiful dream. In the dream, Wei An died, Princess Yonghe was not favored, and she didn't marry Shen Chen. But she herself, somehow, married into the Pingxi Marquis's mansion with a grand wedding. After marriage, Shen Chen treated her very well... ...
She was just dreaming about Shen Chen smiling when she was woken up. She was a little dazed. When she saw Tingxue, she gradually regained consciousness and asked her, "Is the imperial physician here?"
Ting Xue responded quickly: "I have someone watching him. As soon as the imperial physician arrived, I came to ask you."
This matter really could not be delayed, so she stood up and let Tingxue change her clothes, then took people to Rongchang Marquis's room.
When she arrived, Wang Gongfeng had already arrived and was treating Rongchang Hou in the room. He said that no one should disturb him. So she glanced at Tingxue and sat in the compartment waiting for news.
Because she didn't get enough rest, she was a little tired and dozed off with one hand supporting her head. Just as she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep, she heard some noise next door and woke up with a start.
"Go and take a look." She raised her chin towards Tingxue, knowing that the matter had probably come to light.
Tingxue turned around and left in a hurry. Not long after, she came back in surprised and happy: "Wang Gongfeng said that the Marquis's leg injury has worsened..."
This was originally expected. She hummed without a smile on her face and waved her hand lazily. Needless to say, the subsequent process would be something else. Someone from the palace would definitely come to inquire about the matter. Knowing that the Marquis's injury had not healed, Emperor Longqing would definitely put pressure on the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
The Royal Guards will definitely close the case as soon as possible.
She raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction and heard the noise outside getting louder and louder.
But for some reason the noise was too loud. Tingxue was the first to react. She looked at her with a pale face and said, "Girl, something seems to be wrong..."
Feng Shuyuan opened her eyes and looked at her, feeling a little uneasy, but she still held back and nodded at her: "Send someone out to check and see what's going on."
Could it be that the ignorant wife of Marquis Rongchang came here to make trouble
She sneered through gritted teeth, and couldn't help feeling annoyed in her heart. She shouldn't have known too much about the seeds of bad things before. Unfortunately, her brother was too stupid and let her know the clues.
Otherwise, many of the things that happened later wouldn’t have happened.
It's really a headache no matter how I think about it.
Before she had finished her headache, Tingxue rushed in without caring about anything and looked at her with a pale face: "Miss! Something happened..."
What Feng Shuyuan hates most are these three words.
Whenever these three words were uttered, something bad would happen. The last time these three words were heard, Princess Yonghe was immediately sent to the temple to practice asceticism. She herself was also reprimanded by Concubine Peng De's imperial edict, and until now she still did not have the courage to leave the house to visit guests.
She frowned and said angrily: "What are you talking about?!"
Tingxue usually knew her taboos and paid attention to them, and she had hardly ever been offended. Even if she was offended, she would always be very smart to avoid it and change the subject. But today, Tingxue was numb, and she swallowed hard and was almost crying.
She couldn't speak clearly, but she didn't say anything nice either. Feng Shuyuan's patience reached its limit. She stood up angrily, walked up to her and slapped her in the face, causing her head to turn away. Then she angrily said, "Why are you so flustered?!"
Tingxue covered her face, wanting to say something but unable to, she lowered her head, pointed outside and shivered.
Feng Shuyuan looked out with a bad face, and saw several Jinyiwei in flying fish uniforms walking in with stern looks.
She couldn't help but be stunned, and then she subconsciously took a step back.
It would be abnormal if she wasn't afraid of the Jinyiwei. She forced herself to calm down, stopped and looked up at the leader Ying Kai: "My lords, has something happened to my brother again?"
Ying Kai stared at her with a fake smile and shook his head, narrowing his eyes and raising the corners of his mouth in a mocking manner: "What on earth happened to Rongchang Hou? Don't you know it, Miss?"
Ying Kai had recently followed Third Master Lin and was a favorite of Third Master Lin. He had been present at the Rongchang Marquisate several times before. Feng Shuyuan knew him, so she was particularly sensitive to his weirdness. When she heard him say that, she turned cold: "What do you mean by that, sir? Of course I know what's wrong with my brother! His medicine was replaced by someone else, so..."
