Marquis Yang was indeed feeling very uncomfortable at this mont, and it should be said that all the Yang family mbers were not feeling well. Yang Rong was still in prison at this ti.
Yin Li and Tang He had not found direct evidence of Yang Rong’s involvent, and his steward Yu Shui had taken everything upon himself, seemingly leaving the Emperor with no way to deal with him.
But everyone isn’t stupid; handling a case isn’t just about the confessions, it’s obvious to anyone who thinks.
Why would a steward like Yu Shui want to harm the Crown Princess and the royal heir? Where did he get the audacity to infiltrate the palace with so many people?
Anyone could easily figure out with their toes that he was being manipulated; the only question was by whom.
No matter whether Yang Rong confessed or not, the impact on Ms.Yang would be significant.
He was already overwheld, and yet Yang Heshu resigned at this mont, desperate to go has far as taking up the position of a county magistrate in Xiazhou just to leave the capital.
One must know that after returning to the capital and achieving successive rits, he had already beco an official of the fifth rank. Transferring from the capital to a post outside, without even ntioning promotion, he had willingly gone down to the sixth rank. How is this different from directly admitting guilt on behalf of Ms.Yang?
But that child is very resolute and doesn’t listen to persuasion.
Marquis Yang felt a headache, sighed, pushed open the window to look at the white expanse outside, and vaguely heard laughter coming from the garden, so he called a servant to ask: "What’s happening at the back?"
The servant bowed and said: "The master is entertaining guests in the garden."
Marquis Yang frowned and asked: "Who all are there?"
"There’s Young Master Tang, the two sons from the Bai Family and the young lady from the Zhou Family."
Marquis Yang heard it and knew who it was, he frowned slightly and waved his hand saying: "I know, go on."
As soon as this person left, the steward stepped hastily inside. Whispering close to his ear, he said: "The Fifth Prince has left the palace."
Marquis Yang’s eyes brightened, and he whispered and asked: "With whom?"
"With two princesses and the Sixth Prince. They’ve left the palace to visit the Fifth Prince’s manor, and they are currently there."
The Fifth Prince will set up his manor and say his marriage vows next year, and will marry and move to his fief the year after. Therefore, his manor is already being built.
Originally, it should have been set up this year, but the Emperor’s treasury is empty this year, even though Five is an illegitimate child, the Emperor still cares for him a lot, so he couldn’t bear to give him an empty manor, and postponed it for a year.
Now that the autumn harvest is over, all yields have been delivered to the treasury in the imperial city, the Emperor is wealthy again, so it has been restarted.
Today the Fifth Prince has taken his three siblings out of the palace to see his manor.
Marquis Yang imdiately got up and left the manor, wanting to et him.
As soon as he walks out the door, Qianmu carefully climbs up the viewing lodge, leaning down to softly report to Yang Heshu.
The teacup in Yang Heshu’s hand paused, he unconsciously spun it twice, put it down and nodded to Qianmu, signaling him to carefully have soone follow up.
Tang He knows him well, and seeing this actions knew his old habit had returned, couldn’t help but turn his head to ask him, "Whom are you investigating?"
Yang Heshu looked up at him without answering.
Tang He shrugged and said: "If you don’t say it, then fine."
Yang Heshu remained silent, Manbao and the two young ones were sitting on the side, looking innocently at the at, watching this person and that one, pretending they knew nothing, while trying to minimize their presence.
Even Madam Tang and Madam Yang remained silent.
Only after a long ti did Yang Heshu suddenly open his mouth and said: "My father has gone out, will you still investigate further?"
Lord Tang, who was chewing at, suddenly choked, the at in his throat wouldn’t go down, blocked roughly, he could only look at Manbao with teary eyes.
Manbao quickly put down the at in her hand, ran forward to bend him over, then patted and pulled, causing Madam Tang’s stomach to produce a rush of gas, forcing her to open her mouth wide, ejecting the throat-blocking at up.
The anxious Yang Heshu and others saw this and imdiately relaxed, each returning to their seat.
Tang Run, who was hurriedly running about, let out a sigh like an adult and chastised: "Father, you are too careless."
Tang He glanced at his son, turned his head to stare at Yang Heshu.
Yang Heshu sighed, saying: "It seems like the Fifth Prince has left the palace, he wants to et the Fifth Prince." Tang He took a sip of tea and asked: "What does Uncle want to do?"
Yang Heshu lowered his eyes, looking at the teacup in his hand, and after a while he said: "If the noble consort in the palace and the Fifth Prince voluntarily take responsibility for this matter, then this incident has little to do with Ms.Yang."
Tang He furrowed his brows, "But according to my investigation with Lord Yin, not only was the Fifth Prince uninford about this matter, but Noble Consort Yang also knew nothing."
Yang Heshu curled his lips slightly, "Yes, this is Ms.Yang’s luck, unfortunately my father doesn’t understand."
Lord Tang was silent for a while.
Being an outsider, looking from a long-term perspective, this is indeed Ms.Yang’s fortune; but fearing that as soone from the Yang clan, Marquis Yang won’t see it that way.
Not everyone can look into twenty or thirty years and temporarily set aside the imdiate benefits of the next ten years.
Tang He felt sowhat restless, as this was his case, even though it had been transferred to the Ministry of Justice and Punishnts now.
Manbao returned to her seat, puzzled, "What does this an? Marquis Yang wants the Fifth Prince and Noble Consort Yang to admit to the espionage?"
Bai Erlang said: "They aren’t stupid, why would they take the fall for them?"
Yang Heshu said: "Many reasons, whether moved by interests, moved by feelings, or deceived by the other party. People always do things that seem inexplicable to others."
"For example, right now," Yang Heshu mocked himself a bit: "Why do I want to tell you what my father is doing wrong? And report him to Tang He?"
Everyone remained silent.
Bai Shan hesitated, "For justice?"
Manbao and Bai Erlang stared at Yang Heshu with their bright eyes, asking silently: Is it? Is it?
Others:...
Then Yang Heshu shalessly nodded under the couple’s gaze and smiled, "Of course."
Bai Shan and the other three breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Yang Heshu with admiration.
Madam Yang quietly sat beside him, rely leaning her body slightly closer to him.
Tang He and Madam Tang both felt he was especially shaless.
But Manbao truly admired Yang Heshu, the righteousness of justice against family, easy to speak, but hard to execute, considering that if her father did sothing wrong, she would intervene and redy, and admit on his behalf, but to willingly report her father to the authorities is quite difficult.
No wonder that scholarly senior brother Yang hesitated for so long just now.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also put themselves in his position to think, and further admired him.
Bai Shan directly poured a full cup of tea, saying: "Scholarly senior brother Yang, I toast you with tea instead of wine, if I go to Xiazhou soday, I will definitely bring you many delicious foods."
Yang Heshu smiled and raised his cup, "Then I await your delicacies."
Tang He didn’t bother exposing his words, thought about it and said: "Even for the sake of the Fifth Prince, Noble Consort Yang wouldn’t agree, right?"
Yang Heshu said: "That depends on whether in my aunt’s heart, the son is more important or the natal family is more important."
"Or perhaps, my father’s eloquence is sufficient to persuade them both."
Bai Shan said with full confidence, "No, the Fifth Prince isn’t stupid, if he assus responsibility for this, what will he do in the future?"
