Chapter 997 Aunt's Worries, Yue'er's Relief
Leng Rongyue, hand in hand with Old Madam Xue, returned to the Second Hall with First Madam Huo Chanyu and Second Madam Zheng Suyao.
As she walked, Leng Rongyue couldn't help but keep thinking about things related to the beasts of Dongwei.
Thinking about it again... Xiao Jingyu has arranged for his people to follow up and monitor those matters, so I don't need to worry about them for the time being. Perhaps I can steal a half-day of leisure!
As for what happens next, I'll take action when it's time!
Besides, if I don't take action to kill those beasts from the Eastern Wei Kingdom, how can I dispel the pent-up resentment and raging anger from my previous life?
As the saying goes: To quell the hatred in your heart, kill your enemy with your own hands!
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandmother, and grandson returned to the flower hall and took their seats.
Leng Rongyue was thinking that since she had nothing to do today, she might as well take out some food from her space for her grandmother and two aunts, and then take some time to arrange the affairs of the shops, estates and restaurants that were now under her name.
With the case of the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion concluded, Zheng Tong, the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, had already handed over the deeds to the estates, shops, and restaurants included in Fu Baozhen's dowry.
Grandfather, uncle, and Xiao Jingyu also tried their best to find the old people that Fu Baozhen used to use when she was alive, but who had been replaced or driven away by Marquis Qinxing Leng Xian and Madam Yin after Fu Baozhen's death, so that they could become their people in the future.
I've been thinking that I need to find some time to meet with these people and rearrange all the things that need to be arranged.
Take Luo Yun and his grandson, for example. He had intended to arrange for Luo Yun to manage his clinic and the medicinal herb purchases in Dashi Village, but to this day, the arrangements have not been made. Luo Yun and his grandson are still living in the villa of the Duke of Anguo's mansion!
The grandfather and grandson must have been anxiously waiting every day!
But... there's nothing I can do about it!
After the case of the Marquis of Qinxing's residence concluded, I first went with my maternal grandfather's family to Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain to chant sutras and worship Buddha. Later, due to the second imperial edict bestowing marriage upon me and Xiao Jingyu by the Emperor, and the subsequent chain reaction triggered by my being conferred the title of Princess Chengxian—
Second Grand Secretary Zhang Jinyan blocked the imperial edict for the marriage in the palace and deliberately misinterpreted the emperor's intentions, which angered the emperor, who then threw Zhang Jinyan into the imperial prison.
The next day, she followed her elders to the palace to express her gratitude. However, she met Princess Zhang Miaoying, who wanted to ask the Empress to intercede with the Emperor, but couldn't speak because her family was present. She felt extremely uncomfortable and helpless from beginning to end.
What's even more unexpected is that Zhang Miaotong, the second young lady of the Second Assistant Minister's Mansion, who was afraid that others wouldn't know that she admired Xiao Jingyu, but secretly colluded with her brother-in-law, Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi, actually went crazy out of jealousy and hatred, and arrogantly stormed into the gate of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion to provoke and cause trouble!
She never expected that the person she had provoked would not even bother to confront her directly, but instead took the opportunity to invite the Prefect of Shuntian Prefecture to file a complaint, and then file a complaint again and again!
The second young lady of the Second Assistant Minister's Mansion never imagined that her sudden outburst would be so disastrous, as if she had personally pulled down the last pillar supporting the roof of the Second Assistant Minister's Mansion!
The Vice Minister's office was thus destroyed!
The Second Grand Secretary Zhang Jinyan and his wife and daughters from last night... should have been silenced by Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi;
Today, my maternal grandfather, uncle, and Xiao Jingyu will know this when they go to court.
Last night, I went on another night raid on the small courtyard in the east city with Xiao Jingyu;
Later, they followed Dongwei Pighead first to the Qin family, and then to Xia Qinian's mistress...
I didn't realize it until I thought about it... I really am destined to be a workaholic!
Since I transmigrated here and merged with Leng Rongyue's soul to be reborn, I haven't had a single day of rest!
I've been busy the whole time!
While the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion was still in existence, I had to deal with Leng Xian, Madam Yin, Old Madam Yin, and that brood of beasts, Leng Yixing and Leng Yiyang, to avenge the original owners of Fu Baozhen and Leng Rongyue!
After destroying the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion, I seem to be even busier... I'm practically running around like a headless chicken!
How about... I take a day off today?
After all, that swarm of beasts from East Venezuela is running rampant in Jingyue...
In their insane plan, they also intend to bribe and coerce some of the court officials of Jingyue Kingdom to become their lackeys;
They also intend to assassinate those high-ranking officials of the Jingyue Kingdom whose will they cannot sway...
Soon it will be the Emperor's birthday, and delegations from many countries will be coming to Jingyue. Who knows what will happen during this time!
These are all very important matters!
As for his own estates and shops... maybe he should put them aside for now?
They weren't short of money anyway.
I have important things to do right now, so I might as well let those people take paid leave first!
Thinking about this, Leng Rongyue nodded in affirmation of her decision.
When Leng Rongyue looked up unintentionally, she saw the worry between the brows of the First Madam Huo Chanyu, which she couldn't hide.
Meeting Leng Rongyue's concerned and inquiring gaze, the First Madam quickly relaxed her brows, concealing the worry between her brows with a seemingly relaxed smile.
Leng Rongyue understood that her eldest aunt was worried about her third brother, Fu Mingxiu, who was away from home.
My aunt treats me like her own daughter.
Now that his aunt is worried about his third brother who is away from home, he naturally wants to fulfill his filial duty and relieve his aunt's worries.
