"By the way, did you check the Emperor’s pulse when you entered the palace yesterday?"
"No, why?" Mu Shaoling replied, "Prince Le was also in the palace yesterday, so it wasn’t convenient to check."
"The Emperor is overly favoring Prince Le these days," Ye Zi’an said, "A poisoner was only because she saved the heir, and for that, the Imperial Army was deployed for a search. She’s not the Emperor’s benefactor, and the commotion is too big."
"So, you’re suspicious?"
"Exactly." Ye Zi’an nodded, "This is sothing the Emperor might have done in the early years."
"In that case, I’ll find an opportunity to enter the palace again tomorrow." Mu Shaoling paused and then asked, "What’s Yang Chuxia doing at the Luo Family?"
The Ye Family and the Luo Family do not usually associate, do they?
"It’s about Linyu," Ye Zi’an explained, "That old lady promised Linyu to Assistant Minister Li’s legitimate son and secretly arranged a marriage docunt for them. Uncle didn’t know what to do, so Xiaxia took up the matter. Today she went to resolve it."
"..." Hearing this, Mu Shaoling was quite taken aback, "Is she crazy? The legitimate son of the Li Family has a good relationship with Prince Ping. By doing this, where does she put Prince Zhuang? How will people view Prince Zhuang when they find out?"
"Nothing can be done. She’s not very smart but thinks herself clever," Ye Zi’an shook his head, "Xiaxia is handling this, so we don’t have to worry."
"Haha, with Xiaxia handling it, I’m a bit concerned for her."
Yang Chuxia is very decisive in her actions. I’m just afraid that both the old lady’s reputation and dignity might be ruined this ti.
Indeed, that’s what happened. Because of Yang Chuxia’s involvent, Luo Linfei’s matter beca the talk of the town, and her reputation was nearly lost.
Now Yang Chuxia is going to poke into her affairs again.
"Madam, we’re almost there," Mingcui said to Yang Chuxia in the carriage.
"Mm, have you spoken with Liu?" Liu is the leader of that group of beggars. Yang Chuxia thinks that although he’s a beggar, he’s loyal, so she keeps him around to help run errands.
"Yes, he’s waiting near the Luo Family,"
"Great, did you have him change his clothes?"
"We found him a piece of clothing with a few patches," Mingcui replied with a smile.
"That’s best; I can’t wait to see the old lady’s expression," Yang Chuxia laughed.
Soon they arrived at the gate of the Luo Family, and Liu, hiding nearby, stepped forward to greet her.
"Very good." Yang Chuxia glanced at Liu and then said to the others in the household, "Go knock on the door."
Since Yang Chuxia brought people to cause a stir at the Luo Family once, Old Madam Luo had issued a strict order at ho: if anyone from the Ye Family cos, they are not to be let in; otherwise, the gatekeepers will be dismissed.
Because of this, when the people of the Luo Family saw that it was Yang Chuxia and others again, they naturally wouldn’t let them in.
"Hey, don’t rush to close the door." Ye Family’s people quickly stopped the door with one foot and loudly said, "How can your Luo Family be so rude? We are here to propose marriage to your eldest miss. Aren’t you afraid your madam will bla you for stopping us? This is a good thing!"
"Here to propose marriage? Our eldest miss?" The doorman was initially stunned to hear this news, but then thought since their lady has been in a bad mood recently, she might feel a lot better knowing soone is proposing marriage.
When the masters are in a good mood, their servants’ days are better as well.
"Of course, don’t you see we’re carrying gifts? Hurry and report,"
Yang Chuxia left with three carriages, so what’s inside and how much they brought for the proposal, no one really knows.
