Chapter 17 That's just a small matter
Chapter 17 That's just a small matter
The Eighth Lady stood up, lifted her skirt and was about to kneel in front of Yinzhen, but Wen Yao quickly stood up to stop her, "Sister-in-law of Ninth Brother, please don't stop me. As your sister-in-law, I have no choice. The Eighth Master feels extremely guilty towards you. He no longer has the face to face you. He has no other options to raise money. Ninth Brother, I don't want to see you like this."
"I have no other choice now. I can only shamelessly apologize to my ninth brother's wife and plead with my ninth brother. But I just couldn't bring myself to do that. I'm here to say sorry to my ninth brother's wife. My ninth brother's wife wants to vent her anger, but I'll just let her be beaten and scolded."
The Eighth Lady's eyes were red, tears welling up in her eyes, "Ninth Brother, the Eighth Master values his reputation the most. You have already trampled on him and have taken revenge. Please give the Eighth Master a chance to live. The Eighth Lady is willing to compensate all the dowry to the Ninth Brother. Please let the Eighth Master go."
Wen Yao couldn't help but sigh, "I was really deceived by those novels. I was also preconceived. I always thought that the Eighth Lady Guo Luoluo was arrogant and domineering, but she was always favored by the Eighth Prince Yinsi and could be arrogant for many years. It was also because she was smart and knew how to advance and retreat. 】
Wen Yao looked at the Eighth Concubine who still wanted to kneel down to Yinzhen. If she was asked to kneel down at this time, then at night all the rumors in the palace would point to her and Yinzhen. What the Eighth Prince and the Eighth Concubine did was their business, but if the Eighth Concubine, his sister-in-law, knelt down to Yinzhen, then it was Yinzhen who was wrong!
This is considered to be a moral code and has existed since ancient times.
Wen Yao looked at Yinzhen. She wanted to see what Yinzhen would do.
Yinzhen just found it ridiculous. Did everyone think that he was stupid and had a lot of money, and knew nothing and could do nothing except competing with the common people for profits? Did everyone forget that he was also taught by the Emperor's father and was one of the Emperor's favorite princes?
"Eighth sister-in-law, please kneel here. I will go and invite the Emperor personally. Tell him how poor my eighth brother was and how you used your dowry to offset him. You also knelt before your brother and sister-in-law for my eighth brother. If the Emperor doesn't know about this, all your good intentions will be in vain." Yinzhen simply gave up trying to save their face. Since they are still plotting against him now, don't blame him for not considering their feelings!
After so many years of affection, it was ultimately Yinzhen who was being too sentimental.
Ridiculous, so ridiculous!
The fate I had in my previous life was not unfair! Not unfair at all!
The Eighth Lady was stunned for a moment, and then continued after a moment: "If kneeling down can earn the forgiveness of Ninth Brother and Ninth Brother's wife, and can buy a chance for Eighth Master to breathe, Eighth Sister-in-law is willing," she shook off Wen Yao's hand and knelt down directly.
Wen Yao simply sat back down. [Although I have no shame, I cannot implicate the young ladies of the Dong'e clan. What does Yin'er think?] Wen Yao was thick-skinned. She would not suffer any loss if he cursed her. However, if she really asked the Eighth Lady to kneel down, it would be possible that the young ladies of the Dong'e clan would be implicated!
This is the bad thing in ancient times. Although I am fearless, the most terrifying thing in ancient times is that if you pull out a radish, you will bring out the mud with you, and your entire clan will follow you. If you are not careful, you will implicate the entire clan, especially the women in the clan!
Yinzhen would naturally not let his petty and complaining wife suffer any injustice, let alone implicate the Dong'e clan. He was not so stupid. Even in his previous life, he only implicated himself and not the Dong'e clan.
Yinzhen looked at the western clock in the lobby and saw that the reward from the Emperor and Empress should be coming soon. About a quarter of an hour later, Wei Zhu came with the reward. Yinzhen and Wen Yao stood up to receive the reward.
Of course, a red envelope was indispensable. Qian Bao had already returned and took out the prepared red envelope from his arms and handed it over quietly. Wei Zhu took it and felt it was very light. When he touched it, he didn't feel anything, so he understood that there was a lot of money inside, which was silver bills.
Wei Zhu's smile deepened. After reading out all the rewards, he was about to leave. Yinzhen stood beside Wei Zhu and asked, "General Manager Wei, is the Emperor still busy?"
Wei Zhu understood instantly that maybe the Ninth Prince needed to see the Emperor for something. She remembered what she had just heard from the servants at the door of the prince's residence, that the Eighth Lady had come here but had not come out yet. But now she hasn't come out yet, so there must be something going on!
Otherwise, it would not have disappeared. After all, this is the reward from the Emperor to the Ninth Prince!
"The Emperor is reviewing memorials," Wei Zhu reported truthfully, "Does the Ninth Prince want to join me?"
"Master Wei, please come in," Yinzhen extended his hand to invite her in, then turned around and waved to Wen Yao, "I'll be right back. Comfort the Eighth Sister-in-law. After I report back to the Emperor, the Eighth Sister-in-law will definitely not kneel down to force me. I won't let the women of the Dong'e clan be implicated by this."
"Thank you, sir. I've met the Emperor and give him my regards," Wen Yao thought for a moment and added. It was polite to say one more sentence and there was no harm in saying it.
The Eighth Lady in the room closed her eyes slightly. When Yinzhen said that, she knew that her behavior was inappropriate, but so what? She never really wanted to force Yinzhen and Dong E to give up on the money owed by the Eighth Master.
Before Wen Yao came in, the Eighth Lady heard footsteps, quickly opened her eyes, and continued to kneel without saying a word.
Qianqing Palace.
Kangxi finally put down the brush in his hand after listening to Yinzhen's words, "You all go out first," he said softly to the servants in the hall. When only he and Yinzhen were left in the hall, Kangxi leaned back on the dragon chair, "The matter of the Eighth Wife is a small matter, your wife's matter is related to the Qing Dynasty. Yinzhen, what's going on with Dong E Wen Yao?"
Yinzhen knelt down hurriedly, "Royal Father," he raised his head and looked at his own Royal Father. The lesson from his previous life was that instead of always thinking about the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, it would be better to be a playboy and just regard the Royal Father as his father. He had to grasp the right balance in this!
"Father Your Majesty, I don't know either. It was during the selection process that I could hear what Wen Yao was thinking when I first saw her. At that time, I thought she was a monster from somewhere. Later, I gradually discovered that I was the only one who could hear it. Then I realized from what I heard that Wen Yao was not a monster, but seemed to have come from the future of our Qing Dynasty." Yinzhen reported his guess to Kangxi truthfully. After all, Yinzhen knew that his wife's psychological activities were too frequent, or even not too frequent.
The emperor can get a lot of information out of his wife with just a few words, and his wife's brains are really not enough to compete with the emperor!
It would be better for him to tell the truth, so that his good son who is 'stupid but rich' can stand on his own feet!
"Why?" Kangxi's expression remained unchanged. "Get up, your favorite walnut cake," he pointed to the snacks beside him.
Yinzhen stood up and took a piece, which was still a little warm. Yinzhen paused slightly and put it in his mouth. The emperor knew he would come!
The Emperor doesn't like walnut cakes. Even though we can't ask about his preferences, we still know a little about them.
"Father, my guesses are all based on facts. From Wen Yao's... inner thoughts, there are many key words, such as records, history, or another word."
