Mr. Liang Bo is reborn with me

Chapter 166 The evildoer complains first

"You...you did nothing wrong. You are very, very good!"

Yun Chi walked away in anger.

The back alley of the restaurant was a dead end road where no one passed. Liu Xiangyun was thrown behind a pile of firewood and her mouth was gagged. There was no way to call for help. She could only lie on the ground until she waited for her maid after three sticks of incense.

Liu Xiangyun put on her bamboo hat, got on the carriage and rushed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she started shouting: "Aunt! Aunt!"

When the eldest lady heard her voice, she thought her affair with the prince was settled. Unexpectedly, when she came out, she saw Liu Xiangyun with a bruised nose and swollen face. His body and hair were covered with mud, and most of the jewelry he wore when going out was missing.

"What's going on? His Highness the Crown Prince bullied you? But Your Highness is not such a person..."

Liu Xiangyun naturally did not dare to say that she was thrown out because she failed in her quest for sex. She wiped away her tears and knelt on the ground: "It's not His Highness, it's... it's Second Sister! All this is because of Second Sister, she clearly promised to give it to me

She introduced His Highness to the Crown Prince, but for some reason after His Highness arrived, she secretly started to encourage Him."

"His Royal Highness was bewitched by the second sister and just drove me out. But the second sister blocked me in the alley and gave me a lesson. I was accidentally pushed to the ground by her and this is what happened."

Liu Xiangyun placed all the blame on Jiang Wenyue.

"Why are you the only one back? Where is she? Where is she!"

"Aunt, aunt, don't go," Liu Xiangyun lay on the ground and held on to her clothes. "Yun'er now knows that the second sister doesn't like Yun'er. It's useless if aunt goes. The second sister might even intensify the bullying.

For me, aunt, Yun'er is afraid..."

"Don't worry, don't worry. It's too cold on the ground. Get up first. My aunt will definitely seek justice for you in this matter."

After Jiang Wenyue returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the restaurant, she heard that the eldest lady had called her over. She was too lazy to see Liu Xiangyun crying and just refused with the excuse of feeling uncomfortable. As a result, she heard early the next morning that her monthly salary had been reduced.

Half the news.

"Girl, when I went to the kitchen to get food today, I only gave you these. I told them several times that they didn't agree to give more."

The maid looked at the bowl of porridge, the bowl of cabbage and the dish of pickles on the table and worried: "Now not only the girl's monthly money has been halved, but even the daily food has changed. The people in the kitchen must not be so brave.

Madam instructed me, how can I eat this without even a little bit of oil and water?"

Jiang Wenyue disagreed with this: "There will be no one else except her. She just wants to torture me in every way before the wedding, because it is her turn to pay my respects when we enter the East Palace."

"Don't worry, I have saved some money on weekdays, so this period won't be too difficult."

After Yun Chi left the restaurant, he received an imperial edict to enter the palace to meet the emperor, so he had to go to see his father with a lot of resentment.

"I heard that you just met the second girl of the Jiang family?"

"Father, she is not the second daughter of the Jiang family, she is the crown princess of my son."

Yun Chi was angry, but he never thought of giving up on Jiang Wenyue.

"You are the crown prince, how can you be so affectionate as a son and daughter? How can I trust you to hand over the country to you? You should not waste too much time on a woman, let alone let her affect you!"

Seeing this, Yun Chi could only swallow his words about the wedding: "I understand, I will pay attention to it."

"Okay, okay, I'm tired, you can go back too!"

After Yun Chi left the main hall, he decided to solve the problem from the root cause - that is, starting from Jiang Wenyue, Kefu, Kezi, heaven and earth.

After Yun Chi returned to the East Palace, he listed all the suspicious events that occurred during the preparations for the wedding on paper.

According to the rules of the past, the wedding of the crown prince has always been prepared by the Ministry of Rites. After the imperial edict is issued, the Ministry of Rites will list the details and start to choose an auspicious time to present them to the Holy One. If he wants to find out the person behind it, he has to go to the Ministry of Rites in person.

When Yun Chi came to the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Rites was drawing up a list of invitations to the palace banquet that would take place for two days. There was a patch of rare flowers in the palace that were brought as tribute from the Western Regions and only bloomed every winter. Although the flowers were delicate, their flowering period was quite short, only five days.

If you want to watch it after this time, it will be the second year.

Therefore, banquets are held in the palace every year at this time, and ministers can bring their families to the banquet. The sons and daughters of various families will also take this opportunity to see each other, and several couples of gods and goddesses will be made every year.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

This announcement frightened the Minister of Rites, and his hand shook. The post he was about to write was ruined in an instant. He could only regretfully throw the discarded post aside and salute Yun Chi: "I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince, but I don't know where Your Highness came to the Ministry of Rites."

What's the matter?"

"Can you find the record of the Ministry of Etiquette's previous preparation of auspicious dates for the palace and the Crown Princess?"

"Go back to Your Highness, you are still there."

"Take it out and take a look."

After taking the record, Yun Chi looked through it and asked casually: "Who else comes here besides you on weekdays?"

"There are many ministers coming and going in the Ministry of Rites. I wonder which one your Highness wants to ask?"

"After the news of my marriage to the Crown Princess came out, did anyone come here frequently? Or asked you for this record?"

The Minister of Rites tried hard to remember for a while and then said: "Old minister, I remembered that Lord Zhou came often during that time, much more frequently than before."

Zhou family? The Zhou family does have this possibility, and the existing evidence points directly to them. As soon as he and Jiang Wenyue get married, the Prime Minister's Mansion will be firmly tied to the East Palace. The Zhou family and the Jiang family have always been at odds.

, if it was them who did it, then it would make sense. The Zhou family would benefit greatly after the wedding between himself and Jiang Wenyue was cancelled.

Yun Chi sneered. He had put in countless efforts to marry Jiang Wenyue. How could a small Zhou family change that?

"I understand. No matter who asks you about my coming here today, you can't tell me. Otherwise, look at your head carefully. Do you understand?"

The Minister of Rites nodded in fright: "Wei Chen understands. Your Highness, please rest assured that Wei Chen will take what happened today rotten in his stomach and put it into the coffin, and no one will know."

"It's good to understand. Seeing that you are also a sensible person, I will reward you with these coins." Yun Chi threw him a heavy purse, "I heard from the Holy One that you have an old mother at home who needs medicine. With this money, you can

Just take it back and get some medicine for her!"

After he left the Ministry of Rites, he followed the places involved in strange things one by one, and found that the clues pointing to the Zhou family were becoming more and more obvious.

"Since you have the guts to do such a thing, why don't you hide your tail better?" Yun Chi sneered and murmured, "You still want to tie yourself to Dong Gong based on your ability? It's simply a fantasy!"

Posts about holding a flower viewing banquet in two days have been posted all over the capital. Anyone who receives the post can enter the palace. Naturally, the Prime Minister's Mansion cannot avoid it. This year, the Prime Minister's Mansion has more Liu Xiangyun but less Jiang Xiyuan and Jiang Hanxue. The expression on the eldest lady's face

I am not as happy as in previous years, especially this year I still have to take Jiang Wenyue with me.

"The carriage will arrive at the gate of the palace in half an hour. You two are in a carriage with me, and the maid is sitting in the back. After entering the palace, don't look around and don't raise your head without my permission. You must do the same after I salute you.

Remember it?"

Jiang Wenyue didn't even look at the eldest lady. She was already familiar with these rules. She didn't even want to step into the palace. However, the imperial edict could not be violated. She had no choice but to follow the eldest lady.

"Yun'er remembers it."

Liu Xiangyun spoke obediently. After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Wenyue who was closing her eyes to rest. Earlier, her aunt said that her monthly money was being deducted from her every day. She should be very haggard if she didn't have enough food or clothing to keep warm every day.

, although she did not wear new clothes today, but her face did not look thin. How did she hold on?

Just when Liu Xiangyun was upset, Jiang Wenyue suddenly opened her eyes, just in time to catch Liu Xiangyun's panic eyes: "Why is sister Yun'er looking at me like this? Is there something on my face?"

"No...no..."

Liu Xiangyun has been feeling guilty ever since he turned the tables and sued. Every day, he would take a detour even if he saw Jiang Wenyue from a distance, let alone look directly at her like today.

The carriage drove all the way and finally arrived at the palace gate, where a whole row of father-in-laws stood to greet the families of the ministers. Jiang Wenyue followed the eldest lady to the main hall in boredom.

This flower viewing banquet was like previous years. The ladies of each family were together with the master, and the nobles and ladies in the capital gathered together. Jiang Hanyu had previously said that she was not feeling well and did not enter the palace, so Jiang Wenyue had no choice but to take Liu Xiangyun in.

"Let's go, sister Yun'er? Why are you still standing there? Aren't you happy that you're going to see His Highness the Crown Prince soon?"

Jiang Wenyue took Liu Xiangyun into the palace, found a seat and started drinking tea. She had no interest in the tricks of these gentlemen and ladies. If it weren't for the delicious snacks at the flower viewing banquet, she wouldn't even

will come.

After everyone entered the hall, it took a long time before Yun Chi arrived late. As soon as he entered the hall, he smiled and said: "Today I was busy with secular affairs and missed the time. I will punish myself with three cups of wine!"

His words immediately stirred up the somewhat dull atmosphere, and people present began to communicate in low voices. Yun Chi's eyes fell on Jiang Wenyue from time to time: "I heard that there are people here who are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don't know today.

Can I have the blessing to appreciate it?"

He looked around the crowd and said, "May I ask if Zhou Shanshan, the daughter of the Zhou family, is here?"

A woman with a flushed face stood up on the right: "Your Highness, my daughter is Zhou Shanshan."

"Oh, so it's you. I heard that you play the piano like sawing wood and draw like a three-year-old child. Is that true? If it's true, why do you still come to the flower viewing party? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by everyone?"

"I……"

Zhou Shanshan originally thought that the prince had feelings for her, but she never expected that she was ridiculed after standing up. She opened her mouth and burst out crying. Everyone present was silent, and no one dared to speak out to save her.

Jiang Wenyue was so angry that she slapped the table and stood up and said: "Your Highness, Zhou Shanshan is just a weak woman. She only said one sentence after she got up and was belittled like this by you. Your Highness, is it too much?"

"Are you saying that I am going too far?"

"If the prince's ears are not good, he can go to the imperial doctor. There is no need to repeat the little girl's words."

After hearing these words, everyone present almost lowered their heads to the table. They did not have the courage of Jiang Wenyue. They just hoped that His Highness the Crown Prince's anger would not spread to them.

"As a prince, Your Highness is used to hearing the excuses and explanations of the ministers. Why are you targeting a woman today? A man should act upright and not be preoccupied with such trivial matters. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Jiang Wenyue knew that no matter what she said, Yun Chi would not kill her. He was not the kind of person who killed innocent people indiscriminately. The most likely possibility was that he canceled the wedding out of anger, which was exactly what he wanted.

After thinking of this, she deliberately raised her head and looked at Yun Chi, not wanting to lose a single cent to him.

Yun Chi has been angry because of her since he came back, and now she is refuting his face in front of everyone. He really wants to ask Jiang Wenyue loudly what he can do to make her not hate him so much.

"What? Your Highness thinks I made a mistake?"

After Yun Chi heard this, his anger was gradually replaced by guilt. After investigation, he found that Zhou Shanshan only came up with the idea of ​​becoming a princess because she heard her family talking about it in her ears all day long. She even looked at him.

She doesn't have the courage, so she can't be blamed.

But Yun Chi couldn't help it. He wanted to vent all his resentment on the Zhou family.

"If Your Highness still doesn't say anything, little girl, will you take it as your acquiescence?"

On the side, Jiang Wenyue's irritation successfully brought him back to reality. He gave her a cold look and left the table without saying anything.

After a long time, during the dinner, a girl who had met her twice said, "Jiang Wenyue, did you just... make His Highness the Crown Prince angry?"

Jiang Wenyue didn't care about this: "How can you say that I left because of anger? In the past few years, didn't the prince come here for a drink and then leave like this? Is there anything strange about it?"

After she sat down, she ate the snacks in front of her as if no one else was around. It took a long time during the meal before she gradually returned to normal.

Zhou Shanshan, who was sitting not far away, would look at Jiang Wenyue while taking a sip of tea, and would stare at her after taking a sip of snacks. Jiang Wenyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows at her, but Zhou Shanshan took this as a signal that they could talk.

, immediately lifted up her skirt and carefully ran over to sit next to her, squeezing Liu Xiangyun, who had been silent, to the back.

"Ms. Jiang, thank you for helping me out today. It was all my fault before. I shouldn't have pushed you into the water in a moment of confusion. I treated you like that before, and you still help me like this today. I can't thank you enough..."

"I'm not helping you, I just can't bear to hear His Highness the Crown Prince's sarcastic words about you. Even if it's not you who is being criticized today, I will still help you." She stared at Zhou Shanshan seriously, "What's more, it's been so long since she fell into the water.

Well, if you didn’t tell me, I would have forgotten it, I just don’t care about the situation and the person.”

At the end of the banquet, everyone on Jiang Wenyue's side was quite tacit. No one said anything about her contradicting the prince. Everyone knew that she was the future princess, and the prince was just temporarily angry when facing her. But if

When this news spread and caused trouble to His Highness, many people and their entire families had to be buried with him.

But Liu Xiangyun didn't think so much. After the banquet, before leaving the palace, she quietly told the eldest lady about the incident: "Aunt, look at what the second sister did. She and His Royal Highness..."
