Chapter 284: A strong family with many descendants
Dong Ling and Xu Yan'er hid in the distance, watching Liao Yunfei being dragged away, and they felt relieved. Their hearts, which had been hanging high, also fell.
"This matter is closely related to Liao Yunfei. Why didn't the people from the Supreme Court arrest Liao Yunfei as well?" Xu Yan'er's tone contained a hint of regret.
Dong Ling was not thinking about what would happen to Liao Yunfei.
"This matter has nothing to do with Madam. Madam will not be implicated in any way, right?"
"It shouldn't be like that. Don't worry, Madam. You are so smart and will definitely be able to turn danger into safety." Xu Yan'er comforted.
Dong Ling looked at Xu Yan'er in surprise.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I thought you were always good at talking, but how come you are so good at talking today? I have to look at you in a different light."
"You!" Xu Yan'er was so angry that smoke came out of her nostrils. "Dong Ling, I'm telling you, we are both concubines, and our status is the same. Speak to me with more respect in the future!"
I don’t know when it started, but Dong Ling started to teach her the same way she taught her servants!
Dong Ling rolled her eyes at her and walked towards the main hall.
Xu Yan'er was not to be outdone and hurried to follow.
Inside the hall, Xiao Yanan sat next to Ji Chuhe and let out a long sigh.
"Madam, Liao Yunfei is a nuisance. If she stays in the mansion, it will definitely cause unrest in the family. I wonder if we can find a chance to send her away."
"Prince, this is not possible." Ji Chuhe shook his head and refused.
"After all, she is my aunt's niece, and she has a blood relationship with me. Even if she is an unrelated enemy, as long as we don't have a deep-seated feud and don't stop until our lives are up, we should leave a way out so that we can meet again in the future, not to mention Liao Yunfei."
The human heart is complex.
The aunt still had feelings for Liao Yunfei, and no matter how angry she was, she couldn't bear to see Liao Yunfei being killed.
On the contrary, even if she just gave Liao Yunfei a chance to survive, even if she raised Liao Yunfei like a dog, her aunt would always remember their kindness.
The relationship between people also needs to be like this in order to last.
No matter how close someone is to you, they still have to use some tricks and tactics.
Just look at the four wives of the Duke's Mansion and you will understand.
My aunt was of the lowest social class. If she hadn’t accidentally saved the injured eldest son, she would never have been able to marry into the Duke’s Mansion!
Since my aunt was the eldest daughter-in-law, the general affairs of the Duke's Mansion were put in charge of her.
No, you can learn.
If you lack the ability, someone will help you.
In short, in one sentence, everyone in the Duke's Mansion adheres to the principle of overcoming difficulties rather than creating them.
Among the other three aunts, which one is not better than the eldest lady in terms of status, ability, and knowledge?
However, no one thought of fighting for the housekeeper's power, and they got along very well.
The most valuable thing about the Duke's Mansion is that the elders are respected and the brothers are friendly and respectful to each other.
There are so many members in a family, and everyone has his or her own stance and ideas. If everyone only thinks about his or her own interests, how can we talk about family harmony and prosperity?
If you want something to last forever, the first thing is harmony, followed by various other conditions.
Otherwise, it would collapse from within without any external enemies.
Therefore, when the situation stabilizes, she will also look for some concubines for the prince and have more children for him.
The reason why the emperor wanted to kill all of Prince Ping's descendants was to completely cut off Prince Ping's foundation.
Descendants are extremely important to a family. Inheriting the family business and revitalizing the family all depend on the support of generations of descendants.
This is also the main reason why large families want to expand and have many children and grandchildren.
No matter how powerful a generation is, when they are over fifty, they find that none of their descendants can support the family, then everything they have worked hard for will eventually be in vain.
Xiao Yan'an didn't know that Ji Chuhe had already thought of taking a concubine for him. He was just thinking about Liao Yunfei's matter. He seemed to have figured something out and nodded in agreement.
"Ma'am, you make sense!"
"Don't worry, my lord. Once she enters the prince's mansion and becomes his backyard, I will be able to take good care of her. Also, the main reason I kept her here is not because of my aunt, but because of the queen mother."
"Queen Mother?"
"Yes, if we drive Liao Yunfei out of the house, we will offend the Queen Mother. Even if the Supreme Court takes Liao Yun away, I will take the initiative to clear her of suspicion. Keeping her here will show our attitude to the Queen Mother."
"What does the Queen Mother want her to do? Spy on us?"
"You are joking, my Lord. What is there for us to monitor? The Lord is idle all day long, and the most I do is run some shops and earn some money to support my family."
"Madam is right." Xiao Yan'an immediately agreed.
"Greetings, Prince and Madam." Dong Ling and Xu Yan'er walked in and bowed to the two of them.
"No need to be polite." Xiao Yan'an replied.
Dong Ling and Xu Yan'er immediately separated into two sides, one walked towards Ji Chuhe and the other walked towards Xiao Yan'an.
"Prince, such a big thing happened in the mansion, I am really scared. I am so afraid that you and your wife will be implicated." Xu Yan'er grabbed the corner of Xiao Yan'an's clothes, looking frightened.
Dong Ling couldn't help but give Xu Yan'er a blank look again.
"Don't worry, the Supreme Court will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and clear our name." Ji Chuhe comforted softly.
"That's good, that's good." Xu Yan'er patted her chest.
"Prince, it's getting late. I'm going to go back and rest first." Ji Chuhe stood up and prepared to leave.
Dong Ling immediately held her arm and said, "Madam, I will take you back."
Xiao Yan'an looked at Ji Chuhe's departing figure, and a sense of loss surged in his heart.
"Prince." Xu Yan'er called tenderly, holding Xiao Yan'an's arm and leaning on him, "You've worked hard all day, let's go back and rest."
"Yeah." Xiao Yan'an responded indifferently.
Xu Yan'er was very happy.
She is still the same, the only one favored by the prince!
Even after Dong Ling gave birth to the child, the prince would let Dong Ling sleep with him.
At worst, she and Dong Ling can split it equally.
If she gets pregnant, Dong Ling will have to work harder!
The prince always dotes on Dong Ling more than he dotes on others.
……
"What! He's in the prison of the Imperial Court!" Concubine Luo screamed, "Why didn't I get any information about the trial of this case by the Imperial Court?"
The maids and servants beside them didn't even dare to breathe.
They had not expected things to develop to such a serious level.
"If the people from the Imperial Court are here to try the case, it must be the Emperor's order! The Queen's move is so cruel, she wants to put me to death!"
From this, it seems that the Queen and the Huaiyang Palace have been secretly colluding for a long time!
But what exactly happened to the third prince being poisoned?
She has never been able to figure this out!
What kind of tricks did the Queen use to make it so flawless that there is no trace of anything!
"No one can survive once entering the Supreme Court. Leng Qiu's background cannot withstand a strict investigation. If we follow the clues, we will soon find out the truth. Then all the blame will be directed at me." Concubine Luo wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.
"My Lady, please don't be too pessimistic. So what if Leng Qiu is ours? But you have already given her to the Prince's Mansion. The only way now is to let this old slave take the blame, so that I can help you out."
