Chapter 287 I won’t tell them anything about Yuntang
What Xiao Rou was asking about was the incident in which Jiang Yingxue bullied Yuntang who had just returned home. This incident had been circulated countless times in the capital.
Jiang Yingxue's rosy face turned pale. She bit her lips, tears welled up on her eyelashes. She stood there looking weak and pitiful, but could not utter a word.
Faced with their curious gazes, she had to speak with difficulty, her voice filled with tears and grievance.
"I, I didn't bully Big Sister. I just... I didn't understand those things and did something wrong. Big Sister taught me a lesson... I don't know how, how those gossips got spread."
"Later... I was grounded by my father, and my mother took me back to my grandparents' house for two days. I was grounded until today."
Jiang Yingxue looked very sad and helpless as she spoke, looking as if she had done something wrong unintentionally and not only was she punished but was also grounded.
It's pitiful that he has been locked up for so long.
She did not explain whether she was her mother's biological daughter or not. Isn't it her parents who decide whether she is her biological daughter or not? How could she prove it?
But ever since Yuntang came back, her life has been miserable. It makes her sad just thinking about it, so sad that she can't stop crying.
Seeing her explaining with a look of helplessness on her face, her words were incoherent and her tears were falling, Zheng Xingyu, who had the best relationship with her, couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
"I've never met that cousin, and I don't know what kind of person she is." Zheng Xingyu frowned slightly and said.
"I only heard that he was a Taoist priest with powerful Taoist skills. He could easily cure even the serious injury of Prince Qin. I heard that he only needed one ritual to cure it."
"Rou'er, you came back earlier than me, and you went to Yunshang Temple more often than me. Is it true that you never saw that cousin even once?" Zheng Xingyu looked at Xiao Rou who was silent aside.
Xiao Rou shook her head and said, "Not only me, but also my father, mother and others have not seen it either."
"But I heard that my elder brother and his men were kneeling in the corridor of the Sanqing Palace. They saw it and said it was very impressive, very impressive!"
So, she couldn't say how powerful he was, but in short, he was not on the same level as them.
Zheng Xingyu sighed, smiled helplessly, and said, "That's right, you are just a little princess, and that cousin is the Princess Protector of the Nation, so she must be very powerful, very powerful!"
Although she was called a cousin, her ability was not within their circle, and her status made her embarrassed to make friends with her.
Speaking of this identity, Xiao Rou couldn't help but pout in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
The generations are different, but it’s still a mess.
She couldn't say anything yet. After all, it was the emperor who told her the divination. How could she dare to say anything?
Watching them talking about Yuntang, Jiang Yingxue lowered her eyes and wiped away her tears sadly, but did not say a word.
As soon as my mother arrived, she started crying to my grandparents about being bullied. Before she even mentioned what happened at the family dinner that night, my grandfather looked impatient, my grandmother was also unhappy, and my aunt came over and mocked my mother.
Even her mother didn't get everyone's care and help, so what did she say? What could she do?
Jiang Yingxue has been famous for her cleverness, understanding, knowledge and talent since she was a child. She was also engaged to the prince of Duke Pingguo and the daughter of Princess Kangning. She is famous and has a high status among the noble ladies in the capital.
She is not stupid, nor does she show her arrogance on her face.
She had underestimated the young Taoist priest who had just returned from the mountains, and thought that letting him suffer a small loss would be a warning to her, but she didn't expect...
What happened later was beyond her expectations. She suffered a great loss and her reputation was affected. During the days of house arrest, she reflected on herself and knew that she could not be as careless as before.
Therefore, she lowered her head, looked submissive, weak and sad, and remained silent, allowing her two cousins of noble status to whisper about Yuntang, but she would not tell them anything about Yuntang.
Over in the warm room, Princess Kangning cried but received no comfort from her parents, but still said a lot of bad things about Yuntang.
She said she was dying of illness, and Yuntang had a magic medicine but was not filial to her. He even charged her 100,000 taels of silver for each pill. If she didn't have enough money to buy it, she would have to continue to be sick.
Marquis Yong'an immediately explained the benefits of the medicine. It not only cured the cold that the imperial physician could not cure, but also prevented the danger of stroke in advance.
Without those two pills, Princess Kangning would not have been able to come back so energetically and cry and scold her daughter, right?
Marquis Yong'an's explanation was merciless and directly ruined Princess Kangning's plan. She was so angry that she could no longer bear it and rushed over to fight and curse Marquis Yong'an.
Marquis Yong'an did not fight back. He just sat there and let Princess Kangning fight like a shrew, leaving Princess Kangyi and others stunned.
In the end, Princess Cheng felt greatly humiliated and immediately ordered several maids around her to drag the man away.
Seeing that her most beloved daughter was now acting harshly and behaving rudely, Princess Cheng was so angry that her face turned red and she pointed at her in amazement. Her lips trembled and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Finally, it was Princess Kang Yi who spoke up, and she said in a cold tone, "I never thought that my sister, who has been pampered in the capital for many years, would actually learn the ways of a country shrew."
This is what I said...
Princess Kangning once scolded her sister for coming back from a small place in the southwest with crude and superficial skills, but now she was scolded back by her own sister.
Princess Kangning also realized that her behavior was inappropriate. She was immediately filled with anger and shame, her face turned red. She glared at Marquis Yong'an, then sat back in her chair angrily and stopped talking.
Princess Kangning has been making a fuss since she came back today, either crying or cursing, and now she's even fighting. Prince Cheng looked at her with disappointment.
"Kang Ning, you are really becoming more and more lawless. I don't know where the rules you learned in elementary school have gone. You don't act like a princess as a princess, and you don't act like a mistress as a mistress."
"After the New Year, you should continue to reflect on your mistakes in your own yard. When you have figured it out, you can come out."
Prince Cheng did not mention house arrest, but the last sentence was a long house arrest order.
Princess Kangning was wiping her tears when she heard her father say this. She looked up at him in disbelief.
Is this still the father who loved her the most since she was a child?
She suffered a lot of hardships and grievances in the Marquis' Mansion, and came back to Prince Cheng's Mansion to cry. Her mother did not comfort her, and her father did not support her and even punished her?
Princess Kangning felt uncomfortable and burst into tears instantly. This time she didn't cry loudly or complain, but her silent crying made her seem more aggrieved.
Princess Cheng felt a little soft-hearted when she saw this, but she opened her mouth and said nothing. She was also very disappointed.
Kang Ning has not done anything decent recently. She lost the support of the people in the Marquis' Mansion because of the trouble she caused. The family power was taken away by the second wife, and she was even banned from entering the palace for the New Year's Eve banquet.
How can I have any dignity as a royal princess?
If we don’t take care of it anymore, Prince Cheng’s Mansion will never be able to hold its head up again.
