She smiled with a sly light in her eyes.
Looking at her, Mr. Xu Er couldn’t help but raise his hand and stroke her head, smiling after her, his words carrying an unconscious doting, “How much does Yue’er want them to pay?”
Song Wan Yue naturally narrowed her brows with a smile, “Naturally, the more the better.”
From the very beginning she had no intention of doing anything to Zheng Fan, after all, that was the Shizi of the Marquis of An Guo and there was also the Grand Prince behind him, her purpose of having the Second Mister follow her to the Capital Palace Yin was not only to make Zheng Fan bleed profusely, but also to force the Grand Prince to come to the surface.
Looking at her smiling eyebrows, Mr. Er couldn’t help but stroke her head again. He only had two sons and no daughters, and every time he saw Song Wan Yue, he couldn’t help but feel the urge to let his wife have another one.
The two of them went back to the house and went to the old gentleman’s courtyard and told him what had just happened, and only after hearing this did the old gentleman put his mind at ease. After Zheng Fan left, his heart was not at ease, fearing that something big had happened.
The second gentleman said, “I reckon that Zheng Fan will come again later.”
The old gentleman was not at all soft, “If you come forward, say that Yue’er is frightened, it hurts my heart and my health is getting worse.”
……
The Grand Prince’s residence.
Seeing the Grand Prince return, Zheng Fan hurried up to him and asked, “How did it go?”
The Grand Prince glanced at him and went to sit down behind the table before saying, “Xu Yan has gone to the Capital Mansion.”
Zheng Fan was delighted and patted his horse’s ass, “You are still great.”
The Grand Prince was too lazy to listen to this nonsense from him, “You can go back to …… later.”
Halfway through the words, he thought of something and swallowed it, calling the butler in, asking him to go to the storehouse and pick out a few things and prepare some good herbs, asking Zheng Fan to take them to the Xu family to apologize, “Remember, be sincere in your attitude.”
Zheng Fan answered and brought these gifts to the Xu residence again.
Mr. Er received him.
Zheng Fan once again made his apologies.
Mr. Er waved his hand tiredly, “It was all a misunderstanding, there is no need for Zheng Shizi to be like this, if you have nothing else, please go back, Yue’er was frightened just now and came back a little unwell, my father is in a hurry and his health is even worse.”
Zheng Fan naturally did not believe this, Song Wan Yue had dared to save Xiao Yao from the villains with her bare hands, would she be frightened by a servant? He thought that it was because Mr. Er was unwilling to receive him that he had deliberately said that. He was born as a son of the family, and had been brought up in high esteem, and his sister was married to the Grand Prince.
He stood up and did not say that he was going to see the old gentleman, but after saluting the second gentleman again, he left the Xu residence, originally thinking of going straight back to the house, but after thinking about it, he went to the Grand Prince’s residence and told him what had happened since he came to the Xu residence.
After hearing this, the Grand Prince could not wait to kick him out of the house, and with a black face, he said, “Go back to your house and do not leave it for a few days, stay at home and think about it.”
Zheng Fan didn’t understand, he hadn’t done anything wrong, why did he have to think about it? But he dared not disobey the Grand Prince’s words, so he could only go back reluctantly.
Once he had left, the Grand Prince pinched his brow and summoned his butler in, “Go and prepare some more things, later ……”
After thinking about it, he changed his words, “I will personally go and apologize to the old man tomorrow.”
……
Inside the palace.
Soon after the Fourth Prince left, the Emperor came over, saw that several pieces of pastry were missing from the table, smiled and sat down before saying, “You have a good appetite today.”
As soon as his fingers touched them, he noticed the coldness and the smile on his face immediately receded.
Sensing his change in mood, Consort Xiao Xian said, “Your Majesty has misunderstood, this is not what I ate, it is what Feng’er ate.”
“Feng’er?”
The Emperor subconsciously glanced at the sky outside, “He’s not in class?”
Consort Xiao Xian gestured for the palace staff to bring down the cold pastries and replace them with a new plate, “On, during the break the Grand Prince went over and then Xu Yan went to the capital.”
The capital residence?
The Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He knew his eldest son very well, he would not go to Xu Yan for no reason, something must have happened that required Xu Yan’s intervention.
He instructed Eunuch Huang, “Send someone to inquire about it.”
When Eunuch Huang answered and retreated, the emperor looked at Consort Xiao Xian’s stomach, “How do you feel today?”
Consort Xiao Xianfei touched her belly, her face was radiant with the glow of motherhood, “Much better, this little one should be given to be an understanding one who knows how to care for me.”
The Emperor couldn’t help but put his hand on it, it’s only been a month or so, naturally he couldn’t feel anything, but he was just so happy, he ordered the palace maid to come over and check the pulse to see if it was a double pregnancy.”
“Your Majesty ……”
Consort Xiao Xian smiled helplessly, “The eunuch doctor has said that it will only be confirmed after three months.”
“Others are sure after three months, they are the eunuchs, so naturally they cannot wait three months and go to the passer.”
Consort Xiao Xianfei was helpless.
The palace maid hurriedly went away, but a moment later the doctor came over carrying the medicine box, after saluting, took out the pulse pillow and put it under Consort Xiao Xian’s wrist, and put on a silk handkerchief, kneeling down to take her pulse.
This time, it took a long time, a full tea, before the doctor released his hand and cautiously said, “The pulse does not look like a double birth.”
Disappointment was evident on the Emperor’s face.
The doctor hurriedly said again, “But it’s not allowed, we can’t be sure until three months later.”
The emperor waved his hand and told him to withdraw.
Seeing that His Majesty’s face was still unsure, Consort Xiao Xian said with a smile, “I have a hunch that it will be a daughter this time, so be careful when she is born I tell her that her father dislikes that she is not a twin.”
Hearing her words, His Majesty’s face receded and he glared at her in a fake manner like an ordinary husband, “You dare.”
Consort Xiao Xian covered her mouth and laughed.
After sitting for half an hour and watching Consort Xiao return to bed, the emperor left Kunli Palace and returned to the imperial study room, and had just sat down when Eunuch Huang came in from outside and told him what he had heard.
The Emperor’s eyes were heavy as he listened and stared at the folders in front of him.
The government’s response to the case was very good.
He wanted to see how far these two good sons of his could go.
……
Xu family
After Zheng Fan left, Song Wan Yue also had to go back, the old man asked her to take back all those things Zheng Fan had sent, Song Wan Yue didn’t take them, “Since they were given to the house by Zheng Fan, put them away first, especially those medicinal herbs, they might be used one day.”
The old gentleman then asked Xu Liang to put it away, and also asked Xu Liang to bring her a thousand taels of silver cheques, “I reckon Li An’s leg is almost healed, so give them these cheques and let them leave town while they can, to avoid trouble later.”
Song Wan Yue received the silver tickets and went to the mansion over there.
Li An was already able to get out of bed and walk around, although he was not quite able to do so, but he should be able to ride in the carriage without any problem.
When she saw Song Wan Yue coming, Wen diligently poured tea for her.
Song Wan Yue put the silver cheque on the table and told her about Zheng Fan sending people to keep an eye on the Xu Mansion, “You can’t stay in the capital any longer, here is the silver cheque from Grand Great Grandfather, prepare yourselves and leave early tomorrow morning.”
