. Jia Ren led Li Ge'er, with Gou Sheng trailing behind them. The three chatted and laughed as they walked home.Seeing the old woman standing at the door, the three of them were surprised and quickly r...The Emperor had also been waiting for the interrogation results. Seeing his cousin arrive at this time, he asked, "Is there anything particularly difficult that has delayed things"

Of course, the marquis couldn't say that he had been "schemed" by his plump daughter.

Then, he casually covered it up with a lie, “I was too tired after staying up for several days and fell asleep on the table.”

In the room, there was only Yi Zuoquan. The emperor pulled his cousin down and said, "Now that most things are done, go back tonight and have a good rest."

The Lord nodded, pushing the confessions in his hand to the Emperor and saying, “All the confessions are here.”

"Before, the defenses were tight, nobody was silenced or committed suicide, and we managed to glean quite a bit of information."

The Emperor quickly picked up the confession, flipping through the top few crucial pages. The deeper he read, the more his brows furrowed, and his anger grew with each passing line.

According to the many servants of Yaochi, this courtyard is under the jurisdiction of Meng Dong, the head steward. He usually manages it on a daily basis.

Even tasks such as receiving and delivering goods were handled through contact with southern traders from the Mengdong region.

The Fu Rong Paste is delivered once every six months, each time placed in a large wooden box, totaling five boxes.

I originally thought that with ample customer traffic, these goods would be sold out in six months.

Who would have thought, after half a year, most of the goods were left unsold, and even the target customers were confined to the military camp at the port.

It was only then that Meng Dong felt anxious.

He sought a breakthrough among the most ardent smokers, finally choosing the son of the princess and then contacting the princess herself, offering generous rewards.

The prince, the son of the long princess, had reached a point where he needed to consume Fusheng Paste three times a day.

The princess couldn't afford the money and didn't want her son to suffer, so she simply jumped into the water and became an accomplice.

Although the Crown Princess was not favored by the royal family, her status was noble. When she hosted a flower viewing party or gathering, noble ladies from all families did not have any defenses and were very happy to attend.

And the young ladies of noble families, confined to their inner courtyards since childhood, craved novelty and rebellion more than men. Therefore, within just half a month before and after the New Year, several noblewomen were swept into this trend.

The princess got a taste of the good life and continued to hold the flower-viewing banquet.

If Bao Lei hadn't been greedy and wanted to harm Jia Yin and the Third Princess, she would have been discovered by Jia Yin and run out to report it.

Even if it's delayed by another three months, at least over a hundred noblewomen in Kyoto would suffer.

The emperor couldn't help but sigh, "This child, Fu Niuer, is truly lucky!"

The Lord also smiled and said, “Just now, the young maid came to bring me food and asked about the outcome, whether those young girls’ reputations could be saved.”

The emperor immediately guessed, “But someone went to the Li family’s doorstep, wanting to cover up some scandal involving their own daughter”

The Lord nodded, "Fú Niuer is meticulous. She copied the list. I took a look, they are all unimportant people."

Five girls were the first to be implicated by the Bao family. All it took was finding a random nanny and having her secretly visit and give a statement.

“Since the testimony of the eldest princess and her granddaughter is available, their statements only serve as corroboration.”

The Emperor pondered for a moment, then said, "Funiu has done well. Since she's interceding, we have to consider the young girl's face as well."

Moreover, the young ladies from each family were not deeply involved, so we shouldn't publish the list and try our best to help cover it up.

"I believe that after this lesson, each family can strictly educate their children and won't be easily tempted or deceived."

The Lord hurriedly got up and thanked her, smiling: "Funiu'er is going to be rich again, every family will definitely send her gifts."

“After this, when she attended flower-viewing parties again, she wouldn't be so lonely sitting by herself, ignored by everyone.”

The Emperor's heart ached upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but speak up for the poor girl.

The Li family, while of low birth, had the best skill in teaching their children of all the families in Tianwu.

"Don't say that Fu Niao'er is smart and well-behaved, filial and sensible. Even those boys from the Li family are all accomplished. Those aristocratic families have nothing but scandals and ugliness..."

Speaking of this, both of them recalled the unexpected revelation at court a few days ago.

Then, the Marquis coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

Meng Dongzhao said that besides the foreign traders who supplied goods, there was occasionally a person who would walk around Yaochi hidden entirely within a cloak.

I speculate that this person must be one of our Tianwu people, and their identity is well-known to many, otherwise they wouldn't be so ostentatious.

"I will continue to have people investigate and strive to catch this person as soon as possible. But I have a feeling this person is likely connected to that side..."

Having said that, he looked in the direction of Shoukang Palace.

The Emperor also guessed as much.

After all, not many people would dare to put the entire safety of Tianwu at risk by establishing a Yaochi there...

When the sun began to set, Jia Yin bade farewell to the Jia family and returned to Suijintang.

By this time, the news had spread to the homes of noblewomen through families like the Jia and Liu.

Originally, everyone was in a panic, like ants on a hot griddle. Hearing that Princess Kangle personally pleaded with the Marquis on behalf of [name], everyone's hearts finally eased a little.

Throughout the entire Heavenly Martial realm, throughout the entire new capital city, who doesn't know of Marquis Xin Ting's love for his foster daughter It's simply that the phrase "pearl in the palm" isn't enough to describe it.

It is said that no matter what County Princess Kangle desired from childhood, the Marquis had always indulged her, and even surpassed her wishes.

That's something that occasionally plays with stars, and in the end, even the moon will be held in its hand...

When Jia Yin arrived home, she was surprised to find her aunt, elder brother, sixth brother, and seventh brother there. After all, they had only returned to Luo'an a few days ago.

As a result, she was surrounded by her stepmother and brothers, who scrutinized her carefully. They made sure that not a single strand of her hair was missing before they were satisfied.

Zhao Yuru hugged her niece and said repeatedly, "Why are so many people looking for death when life is going well"

"If you want to die, go ahead! But don't drag my little girl into it!"

Our children finally got to attend a flower viewing party, but they didn't get to play or eat much. They only ended up being scared and throwing up!

"Let me see that so-called princess, and I'll shave her head!"

Just as Jia Yin was about to comfort her aunt-in-law, she saw Jia Xu and Lu Zong still sitting opposite her. She couldn't help but blush and quickly explained herself.

"Auntie San, I was just trying to escape, so I used a little trick. With my courage this big, how could I be scared into vomiting"

But Zhao Yuru refused to listen, shouting: “What does it matter what the reason is Who wants to vomit That’s so uncomfortable!

"When you're bored at home later, go to Luan, your aunt will take you out. We won't be going to any more stupid flower-viewing banquets!"

Jia Yin heard this and her heart warmed. She hugged Third Aunt, planting a big kiss on her cheek. "I'll listen to Third Aunt, I won't go anymore!"

"Oh, that's right!" Zhao Yuru took out the sticky rice cake she bought from the end of Lu'an Street. "Eat some of your favorites while they're hot to calm your nerves."

Jia Yin took some of the snacks and shared them with Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er. The three siblings each had their share, occasionally pinching off a piece to put into Big Brother's mouth.

This glutinous rice cake was as big as a mahjong tile, too large to swallow in one go. Jia Ren puffed out his cheeks and chewed incessantly, like a diligent squirrel carrying cargo on an autumn day, quite adorable.

This is completely different from his usual elegance and composure.

Jia Xu and Lu Xun couldn't help but smile when they saw this. sitting and drinking tea, her face turned pale, and the tray in her hand fell to the floor with a clatter.For a time, she was moved out of the Kunning Palace and lived alone. Without her mother's pro...
