Chapter 722: Cry again and I'll throw you into the pond to feed the fish
Cheng Feng was waiting outside when Hongxiu came out of Xiangya Pavilion. He stepped forward and grabbed Hongxiu, "Why didn't you go back to the palace with the queen?"
Hongxiu avoided his hand and said, "Can't you see me standing here? I didn't go back because I still have to do something the Queen asked me to do." How did Cheng Feng know that she came to Xiangya Pavilion? Was he following her?
"What's the matter? Let me help you!" Cheng Feng said anxiously.
"Don't bother Manager Cheng, it's just some small matters." Hongxiu was on guard.
Cheng Feng said, "I know. It's the Jin family's business! The murderer is the son-in-law of the Jiang family. He killed the daughter-in-law of Minister Li, and the victim was Minister Shu's niece. The process is too complicated. All parties are powerful and well-known families in the court. Hongxiu, it is very dangerous for you, a maid, to run around outside for the queen. I believe that Minister Jiang will save his brother-in-law no matter what. The queen should ask the emperor for help. It won't be difficult to do it."
Hong Xiu found it incredible, "You mean that because Jin Ji is from the Jiang family, the Queen and the eldest son will find a way to make him innocent, regardless of whether Jin Ji killed the person or not."
She then asked, "Do you believe that it was Master Jin who killed someone?"
Cheng Feng was stunned. Seeing Hongxiu's bad face, he quickly said, "Whether he killed someone or not, your safety is the most important. Neither the Li family nor the Shu family can be offended by us."
Hongxiu asked, "What do you mean?"
Cheng Feng boldly held Hong Xiu's hand and said, "We have been together in the palace for the past few years. I don't believe that you don't like me, Hong Xiu. I like you. I have liked you for many years. I fell in love with you from the first time I saw you. I want to marry you."
Hong Xiu did not withdraw her hand. Thinking of the Cheng family's desperate efforts to stop Cheng Feng from marrying her maid, she felt that all these years of love were a joke. "If I marry you, what will happen to your cousin?"
"She...I don't like her and I won't marry her."
"Does your aunt agree? What if she forces you to marry her? Even if the Queen really grants us a marriage, won't your parents let you marry your cousin as your co-wife or as a concubine?" Hongxiu said.
Cheng Feng was stunned. He had told his mother the same thing. The emperor wanted to grant a marriage between him and Hongxiu, but his mother and aunt said that the emperor should grant the marriage at the same time and let his cousin marry him as his co-wife. If he wanted to take his cousin as a concubine, his aunt would have to beat him to death.
My mother also said that the status of the Cheng family is different now, and he can marry the daughter of a royal family even if he wants to.
Cheng Feng smiled slightly, "It's not what you said. They won't do that. As long as it's the woman I want to marry, they can't stop me. Besides, you are going to marry me and it has nothing to do with them."
Hongxiu pulled her hand back, "Is it really irrelevant?"
Cheng Feng paused, "Hongxiu, I promise to treat you well. I swear to God."
"I'm going back now. Go back and ask your mother and aunt if they really agree to marry me."
After Hongxiu finished speaking, someone from Xiangya Pavilion drove a carriage to her and said, "Miss Hongxiu, please."
The carriage was very grand, and the guards of Xiangya Tower were polite and respectful to her. Hongxiu did not look like a maid but rather like a master.
Cheng Feng watched her leave and had no way to deal with her. He really liked Hong Xiu, and she obviously liked him too, so why didn't she agree to marry him? Was it just because of Fang'er?
He is now considered a prominent figure. If Hongxiu marries him, she will no longer be a servant. She will be a legitimate official's wife. Things will definitely get better and better in the future. Isn't that a good thing?

royal palace.
Jiang Fenghua returned to Kunning Palace, changed her clothes, and went to the side hall to see the children.
Xie Zixuan was very happy, "Mother, you are finally back. Today, Xie Ruoyi was beaten up by her father."
Jiang Fenghua asked: "What's going on?"
Xie Zixuan recounted what happened in the school, and then said: "Later, my father, third uncle, and fourth uncle all came. Xie Ruoyi was so noisy that she made Sister Wei cry..."
When Xie Shang brought the third and fourth princes to the outside of the school, they heard Xie Ruoyi crying.
They thought that the little princess was bullied and was very anxious, but when they walked in, they saw Xie Ruoyi standing aside crying. Xie Wei's two brothers protected their sister behind them, and she was also crying.
The others stood far away. Those who were fighting were servants from several sides. No one dared to attack each other's masters, so the servants helped their masters fight, and this fight was inexplicable.
Master Jiang sat at his desk holding a ruler, shaking his head and sighing.
Xie Shang asked, “What’s going on?”
Xie Zixuan took the initiative to explain: "Sister Ruoyi can't recite the book. When asked to recite, she cried and said she couldn't recite it. Sister Wei can recite the book, but Sister Ruoyi can only cry. She made Sister Wei headache. Sister Wei was anxious because of the noise and couldn't recite the book, so she cried."
She spread her hands, looking like a little adult, "Sister Ruoyi doesn't know how to recite the Three Character Classic, she can learn it slowly, but she said that if she cries, she doesn't have to recite it, so the master asked her to cry first and then recite it after crying. Xiu'er guessed that Sister Ruoyi didn't want to recite the book, so she kept crying. If she cried until school was over, she wouldn't have to recite it."
After hearing this, Xie Shang was so upset. He thought that the Three Character Classic should have been taught long ago, and the little princess should have known it by now at her age. He glanced at the Fourth Prince and said, "Doesn't the Fourth Princess teach the little princess to read?" The Fourth Princess must be well-educated, right?
The Fourth Prince had no idea, so he said, "Teach him!"
Xie Shang said to Xie Ruoyi: "Xiao Yi'er, recite a passage to the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's uncle will reward you."
But when Xie Ruoyi heard that she had to recite the text again, she started crying again. She felt that if she did this she wouldn't have to recite the text.
Xie Shang was dumbfounded, his brows knitted tightly, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The children of the Xie family, whether they are princesses or princes, should read more and understand things. They are all descendants of the royal family. If they can only cry, what great things can they achieve in the future? Xie Yang, how do you discipline them?"
Xie Yang was scolded, and he couldn't even do anything about his daughter who only knew how to cry. How did Zhang Yurou usually discipline her?
"Don't cry." Xie Yang said.
Xie Ruoyi seemed to be possessed by a demon. She only remembered what her mother had taught her: if she appeared in front of her father, she must learn to cry and make him pity her.
Not only did Xie Ruoyi not stop, she also felt very aggrieved, "Wuwu...Father, they beat Yier."
Xie Wei popped her head out from behind her two brothers and said, "If someone hits you, you just cry and make so much noise."
"Wow, they are still mean to Yier."
The next moment, Xie Yang seemed to be furious and slapped Xie Ruoyi on the face. Immediately, her delicate skin was swollen with five finger marks.
Xie Yang said coldly: "If you cry again, I'll throw you into the pond to feed the fish."
