The sky gradually darkened, and outside the Second Prince Mansion, the crowd surged.
The tightly closed vermillion doors opened, and Ying Zhi stepped out, his gaze sweeping around, skipping over the two useless young n, and landing on He Xuran.
"The Zhou family’s rebellion case has troubled you these past few days."
He Xuran bowed respectfully: "I receive my salary from the Court, so it’s my duty. It’s not too much trouble."
Ning Yunling rolled his eyes, disdaining Ying Zhi’s pretentious posture.
The steward brought the pork and rice powder forward.
Fu ng, crouching, glanced at it, sowhat satisfied. Nobly lifting the at with its paw facing up.
Seeing this, the steward quickly placed it back down and was about to retreat.
Fu ng: ???
It widened its tiger eyes, feeling offended, and let out a fierce roar.
"Roar!"
The steward turned pale with fright: "This... this..."
Ning Yunling: "What’s this and that."
"It always washes its paws before eating, it just dug in the dirt, how dirty they are. Can’t you see?"
"Hurry and bring water, and prepare a pair of chopsticks."
"Ying Zhi, if you want to starve it, just say so, why play gas with it?"
Fu ng: !! Exactly!
Ying Zhi: ...
He remained silent for a mont, suppressing his anger towards Ning Yunling.
"Can Fu ng even use chopsticks?"
Ning Yunling: "No."
"But there must be a sense of ceremony."
"It’s always been raised like a person."
Fu ng nodded reservedly.
It really loves cleanliness!
What could Ying Zhi say? He glanced at the steward, who understood and hurried off to prepare.
Amidst the crowd, at so point, there was soone wearing heavy clothing, holding a hand warr, with a sickly deanor and a gloomy gaze.
Perhaps noticing an unfriendly gaze, Ying Zhi looked up and t Ying Fuyan’s eyes.
Ying Zhi knew this was an adviser beside Ying Yin, who had sabotaged his plans several tis.
He frowned deeply.
"Adviser Jia, what brings you here?"
Was Ying Yin sending soone to intentionally stir up trouble?
The ntioned Ying Fuyan did not flinch or dodge.
"The Second Prince may not know, I live next door to you."
He raised his hand casually, pointing for Ying Yin to look at the freshly marked Jia Mansion plaque.
Ying Fuyan seed a bit embarrassed: "It was solely the Fifth Prince who bought it for . Hearing the commotion outside, I ca out to have a look."
Ying Zhi: ??
What is Ying Yin planning? To spy on him?
Xiao Huaian squinted his eyes, speaking casually: "This house isn’t cheap, is it?"
Standing next to him, Ning Yunling seed suddenly enlightened: "Ying Zhi!"
"You should learn from Ying Yin!"
"Why does the Emperor favor him over you? It’s for a reason."
"He’s proficient in getting things done and generous to his subordinates, unlike you, who is so stingy."
Ying Zhi’s face turned blue with anger: "I won’t argue with you."
"Oh! Soone from the Duke Shun Mansion is here."
Soone in the crowd said.
The crowd quickly made way.
Yu Tingwan stepped forward slowly, passing by the well-covered Ying Fuyan, without glancing or slowing down.
As she approached, she bowed slightly to Ying Zhi.
"Upon hearing that Fu ng collided with the Second Prince, I dared not delay and rushed here."
Ying Zhi did not expect it to be Yu Tingwan who ca.
A woman.
What use do won have other than managing the household, bearing children, and serving n?
However...
It’s better than having Wei Zhao’s right-hand man here, who’s hard to deal with.
He smiled faintly: "No need for formalities, nothing happened anyway, I won’t dwell on it. Today’s matter need not be brought up again, and I won’t have Court officials impeach Gui Zhi for a lack of discipline."
"However..."
"There are indeed many people on this street."
He feigned helplessness: "If soone got hurt, it would be hard to explain."
Though seeming affable, he subtly asserted dominance over Yu Tingwan.
Most others would think Ying Zhi was a good person, feeling grateful and apologizing.
His words held a certain finesse.
Yu Tingwan: "The Second Prince is right."
"I don’t know much, nor how things were handled before. If the officials wish to impeach, Fu ng deserves it, and my husband will handle any incidents. The Second Prince need not trouble himself by personally asking those officials to spare Fu ng on your behalf."
She turned and asked: "Were there similar incidents before?"
Tan Jiang: "Fu ng has caused trouble many tis before, but they were minor and no officials ever impeached."
"It’s strange, as Fu ng never bumped into anyone before."
Yu Tingwan sighed: "Is that so."
"That’s unfortunate."
She approached Hu Dongxi.
Fu ng was still waiting for the steward to return, its tiger eyes glancing at Yu Tingwan, pondering as she approached, maliciously intending to wipe its paws on her skirt.
Just as it extended its mischievous paw, Yu Tingwan quickly held its tiger head firmly.
Yu Tingwan: "What’s going on?"
Mind your own business?
Fu ng was about to show disdain.
Yu Tingwan reproached: "Do you want to be punished again?"
Fu ng continued to show disdain.
Yu Tingwan stopped reproaching.
She rubbed the tiger’s head forcefully, her tone turning gentle.
"You want to discipline you, huh."
Fu ng rolled its eyes.
Look at you.
Even threatening!
Then it heard a sentence.
"Wei Zhao disciplines you, I might stop him based on my mood. But if I decide to discipline you, do you think he would interfere?"
Fu ng: ...
She concluded for Hu Dongxi: "He wouldn’t."
"Good."
She said softly: "You’re dood."
Yu Tingwan smiled: "What were you thinking, bumping into the Royal Family’s offspring? The Second Prince has a bad leg, if you inadvertently injured his other leg, what then?"
Ying Zhi: ???
Really soone from the countryside, talking so bluntly!
"What?"
Yu Tingwan pinched the tiger’s ear: "What do you want to say?"
Fu ng: ...
It... had no intention of speaking.
Yu Tingwan: "You got hurt too? Where, let see?"
Hurt?
Fu ng indeed felt a bit pained.
After all, it flipped over a carriage.
Fu ng hesitantly raised its paw to point at its head.
Yu Tingwan exclaid.
"It’s all swollen, nearly bleeding. We need to apply dicine and bandage it. No wonder you look so lethargic, it’s because you’re injured."
Fu ng: ??
What!
Swollen?
Almost bleeding!
The vibrant, capable of toppling ten more carriages Fu ng suddenly felt weak.
Especially after Yu Tingwan’s words, it felt its head was particularly hurt!
Like it was about to explode.
It was furious, letting out a painful howl towards Ying Zhi.
"Roar!"
Why was the carriage so sturdy!!!
Yu Tingwan pressed its head against her bosom.
Ning Yunling jumped out: "I’m sure Ying Zhi deliberately bumped into it!"
Ying Zhi’s face darkened, just as he was about to speak, soone else spoke first.
Yu Tingwan in disbelief, as if hearing sothing astonishing: "No... it can’t be? You can’t say such things lightly."
She seed shocked.
"This..."
"I don’t understand those convoluted sches."
The girl innocently said: "But I’m really dizzy."
"Could it be as Yunling said, that there are hidden motives, did the Second Prince really deliberately..."
She was astonished. But as if afraid of offending, she stopped herself abruptly.
