Half an hour later, Nan'an Prince's Mansion.

After hearing Niu Jizong recount the previous exchanges and answers, Princess Nan'an was also very angry and even called for help from the family.

The King of Nan'an was kneeling on the ground dissatisfied and angrily. When he heard that he was going to take action, he immediately rolled on his donkey and ran away.

The concubine asked to bring him back, and the people in charge below should have complied, but how could they dare to actually arrest the prince?

Concubine Nan'an also had a clear mind, so she didn't ask further questions at all, and instead asked her nephew for advice on how to make up for the matter.

He also explained: "I'm not worried about losing the lawsuit. If your brother suffers a lot because of this, it may not be a bad thing - but Jiao Shun is the emperor's most favored minister, so now it's okay. At least there is the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother.

Yes, but if something happens in the future...if you can't offend him, it's better not to offend him."

Niu Jizong originally wanted to use the 'lawsuit' as an excuse to persuade him. After hearing what the concubine said, he hurriedly complimented: "My aunt is still thinking far ahead. Your Majesty is young and prosperous, and Jiao Shun is even more ambitious at a young age. Who can predict what will happen in the future?"

Is that accurate?"

"As for how to make up for it..."

He paused and then said: "I see that Jiao Shun is also a smart person. Although I am annoyed by the prince's indiscriminate remarks, as long as my aunt can put aside her body and change a few words for her cousin, it will save Jiao Shun's face."

The child will probably pass."

"It's quite simple."

When the concubine heard this, she immediately said: "Yesterday, your sister also praised the girls in Rongguo Mansion for their excellent lyrics. Let's use this as an excuse - and by the way, it will also satisfy your sister's thoughts."

They hit it off immediately, and Princess Nan'an immediately sent a message to Rongguo Mansion.

But he said that Wang Xifeng did not dare to neglect the post after he got it, and hurriedly led the steward to see the old lady, and privately informed Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng respectively.

When Jia Zheng got the news and rushed to Jia's mother's courtyard, the messenger from Nan'an Palace had already left. He couldn't help but asked in fear: "Mother, I heard that Nan'an Princess has posted a message and will come to our house tomorrow.

visit?"

Mother Jia nodded slightly, then signaled Yuanyang to hand the post to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng took a quick look, but the doubts in his heart became more intense. He originally thought that Jiao Shun must have accepted the gift from King Zhongshun, so Princess Nan'an came to his door.

But look at what the invitation said, it was because the princess admired the talents of the younger members of the family.

"this……"

He frowned and said: "If it is really because of the princess, why is it so urgent?"

"That's what the post says."

Wang Xifeng explained at the side: "But the words of the palace steward hinted that the concubine wanted to meet Brother Shun 'by the way'."

Jia Zheng was relieved, but then he felt a little ridiculous and sad.

I remember when Jiao Shun first came out of his career, when people mentioned him, they were talking about a slave in Rongguo Mansion who had suffered a lot of bad luck.

Turns out it’s only been a few years?

Even I feel that he is the most worthy of being visited by noble people in Rongguo Mansion.

It's so overwhelming!

But Jia Zheng was not too annoyed this time, because after the past few days, his mentality had been smoothed out, and he was completely unable to summon up the energy to argue with Jiao Shun about merits and demerits.

While thinking about "It's hard for a lion to compete with you", he suggested to Jia's mother: "The concubine is here probably because of the lawsuit between the two princes. We'd better say hello to brother Shun well in advance, and don't listen to anything."

I also asked him to be patient, otherwise we might have a falling out in our house, and we might not be involved in anything in the future."

Jia Mu nodded again. At this moment, Mrs. Wang and Li Wan also came together. She hurriedly ordered Wang Xifeng to tell them the answer just now, and sent someone to ask Jiao Shun to come over to discuss countermeasures.

However, Mrs. Wang could not help but be a little surprised and dazed when she heard that even Princess Nan'an came to her door in person. Li Wan and Wang Xifeng stood on either side of her, exchanging glances with each other, but secretly they were a little proud of each other.

Not long after, I went to ask Jiao Shun's maid to come back and report that Uncle Jiao had not come back since he went to the Yamen in the morning.

Everyone had no choice but to give up for the time being and decided to wait until Jiao Shun left the office in the evening before looking for him to come and talk.

…………

Due to the obvious reason, the news that Princess Nan'an was coming to Rongguo Mansion could not be hidden from Chai Dai Sanchun and others.

Mrs. Wang returned to the Qingtang hut and specially invited them there, telling them to be polite and considerate when entertaining guests tomorrow. They must not only make guests feel at home, but also not be too attentive and eager to lose the face of Rongguo Mansion.

All the sisters responded submissively in front of her.

As soon as she left the house, Lin Daiyu first expressed her position: "I won't join in the fun tomorrow. I can't serve such a 'noble person'."

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he refused and said, "What Sister Lin said, are we the ones who specialize in serving others?"

But she saw Lin Daiyu squinting at Jia Baoyu and sneered: "You guys don't know how. Isn't there the Second Master Bao here? He is always around the nobles. If there are any taboos, you can just ask him."

Jia Baoyu was just thinking about what kind of woman the little princess of Nan'an Palace would be. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but get angry - he had often quarreled with Lin Daiyu earlier, but later because he felt that he owed Sister Lin, he just ignored her

Accommodate.

But because of this, he had been very angry for a long time. As a result, the string broke today. He immediately jumped three feet high and said bitterly: "Okay, okay, it turns out that I am so attentive and attentive in every possible way.

In Miss Lin’s eyes, she turned into a slave, Yangzi?! I, I..."

Seeing him jumping on his feet and glaring at Lin Daiyu while reaching for his arms, Xue Baochai knew that he was going to resort to the jade-breaking technique again, so he hurriedly got in between the two of them and said with a smile: "You know the joke! Follow me.

Look, this time Princess Nan'an comes to the house, she's probably here for Brother Jiao,"

Jia Tanchun also hurriedly tried to smooth things over, raised his finger and pointed at Shi Xiangyun and said: "If that's the case, it would be easy. Let's just push Mrs. Jiao out. Her family has something to ask for from Brother Jiao, so how can she dare to offend Mrs. Jiao?

"

"You, you...see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

Shi Xiangyun didn't expect that Baoyu and Daiyu were quarreling, and the gun was suddenly pointed at him?

Immediately, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, he rushed towards Tanchun and started to pull him.

This laughter diluted the tense situation between Baoyu and Daiyu.

Jia Baoyu felt that he was bored, so he threw away the psychic jade in his hand angrily and turned his head away from Daiyu in anger.

Lin Daiyu glanced at Xue Baochai and said with a pun: "What the third sister said is true. This 'Madam' is indeed a good shield material."

She only said "Mrs." but did not use the surname Jiao, implying that Xue Baochai was eager to protect her husband.

Xue Baochai just smiled and didn't care about her.

On the other side, in a corner that no one paid attention to, Jia Yingchun saw everyone laughing and laughing around Shi Xiangyun, but she couldn't help but feel sad secretly.

The higher Jiao Shun's status was, the more she regretted it.

In particular, Siqi came over from time to time and described Xing Xiuyan's status in the Jiao family. Jiao Shun treated a concubine like this. If he hadn't been confused at the beginning, wouldn't he...

The more I thought about it, the more my heart felt like a knife. Seeing Shi Xiangyun's smile and laughter made me feel even more piercing.

But at this time, Mr. Xing sent someone to invite him.

When Jia Yingchun heard that she was going to Dongkua Yard, she was conflicted and uneasy at first. Then she rushed over reluctantly, only to find that the person who was looking for her was not Mrs. Xing, but her biological father Jia She.

But this time she felt even more uneasy.

He stepped forward cautiously and bowed, then lowered his head like a quail and became speechless.

Seeing her like this, Jia She couldn't help but frown, coughed a few times, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Your aunt hasn't asked you for advice yet?"

When Jia Yingchun heard this, she hurriedly argued in a low voice: "There are too many things going on lately, including festivals and birthdays. My wife must be..."

"snort!"

Jia She interrupted her with a cold snort, and said angrily: "How many times has she been so negligent about her own family affairs? You should know it in your own mind. Don't imitate that four-hearted little girl, even if you are not close to her.

I can’t tell the difference between far and near!”

These words were neither appropriate nor appropriate for welcoming the spring. In the end, I had no choice but to bury my head deeply in my chest and adopt an ostrich posture.

Jia She became more and more dissatisfied with her, but thinking about the purpose of coming to her this time, he still suppressed his displeasure and said: "We are getting married next year, so you should be more concerned about the Sun family's affairs."

As he said that, he pointed to the letter on the coffee table beside him and motioned to the maid to deliver it to Yingchun: "This is the letter I wrote to Sun Shaozu in your tone. You go back and copy a copy so that I can send it to someone else."

Go to Jinmen Mansion."

Seeing Yingchun timidly taking the draft, he waved his sleeve and said, "Okay, you can go back first."

Welcome the spring as if you have received a general amnesty. I hurriedly held the letter and said a blessing, and then followed the maid out of the door.

After leaving Dongkuoyuan, she dared to take a closer look at the contents of the letter, but she only saw some explicit and flattering words in it. At the end, the conversation changed and she talked about various difficulties at home.

She didn't understand its meaning at first, but when she got home and read two volumes carefully, she was shocked to realize that this didn't make her care about the Sun family. He was clearly trying to extort money from Sun Shaozu in her name!

I can't help but feel bitter when welcoming the spring.

Sun Shaozu initially disliked that she was not the sister of the virtuous concubine and was concerned about her third sister's love affair. She had already heard about it.

The Sun family was unwilling to get married in the first place, and now they are blackmailing them in their own name. How can they reap the benefits of marrying into the Sun family later?

The more she thought about it, the more fearful she became, the more regretful she became, and the more aggrieved she became. She couldn't help but cry at her desk.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, she raised her head with tears in her eyes, and happened to see the "Tai Shang Inspiration" on the side. She was furious and grabbed this book, which talked about cause and effect and encouraged patience in everything, and tore it apart.

Scratched to pieces!
