The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 566 Understanding Current Affairs

Tang Yichen finished his official business and was about to take a rest when suddenly a dark shadow appeared at the window.

A letter was handed in through the window.

He opened the letter, unfolded it and took a look. When he finished reading the contents, his face changed drastically.

The Gong family! Gong Qianyue! The eldest princess!

The next day, the memorial about the Gong family was handed from the Censorate to the dragon table as if it had wings.

The Gong family was unable to take care of themselves, so the eldest princess tried her best to protect them, which took a lot of effort.

However, before the Gong family could do anything for the eldest princess, they had already caused her a lot of losses, which made the eldest princess particularly unfriendly to the Gong family.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince's affair with Zhu Hongxiu could no longer be concealed, and Zhu Hongxiu was, after all, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. Following Song Ruize's proposal, the Crown Prince appointed Zhu Hongxiu as his concubine and instructed the Crown Princess to prepare for the ceremony, thereby drawing the Zhu family into the Crown Prince's camp.

The Gong family followed the eldest princess, and the Zhu family had to join the prince's camp because of Zhu Hongxiu, so Gong Qianyue would be in trouble.

Zhu Jingxuan returned from outside, bringing back two beautiful and pitiful women. The two women, spoiled by their favor, accidentally caused Gong Qianyue to have a miscarriage. Although the pregnancy was eventually saved, it was clear that Gong Qianyue's health was not as good as before. She needed to rest and recuperate during this period, and no more negligence could be made. If her pregnancy was disturbed again, the hard-earned child would be lost.

The Zhu family valued the child in her belly very much, and it was because of this child that she now had such a high voice in the Zhu family. Zhu Jingxuan's status was special, and the whole family hoped that he could have an heir soon. If Gong Qianyue couldn't keep this child, she would fall out of favor.

The eldest princess's marriage to Meng Lin, the son of General Zhenbei, is on the agenda.

The wedding was set for the middle of next month. During this time, the two mansions were in the process of negotiating marriage proposals, and the whole capital was buzzing with talk of this matter.

Jinyiwei. Jiang Qibin walked into Jinyiwei, and Chen Yong and others saw him and came forward to greet him.

"Didn't the boss give you a long vacation?" Chen Yong asked.

Jiang Qibin said unhappily, "I know what you mean, Boss. Don't worry, I really don't like County Master Minghua. She's the County Master, and a nobody like me is very self-aware. I just think that guy surnamed Meng isn't worthy of County Master Minghua."

"One of them is a county lady, and the other is the son of a great general. Both of them were born with silver spoons in their mouths. How can they not be worthy?"

"Ordinary people like us worry about our livelihood every day, but you are so worried about other people's marriages."

"I've been away recently. Is there anything you need me to do?" Jiang Qibin asked.

"A lot has been going on lately." Chen Yong lowered his voice and said, "The boss is very angry and wants to destroy the Gong family."

Qin Huiyin returned to the Tang family and took Li Taohua to do skin care together.

The mother and daughter chatted about meaningless gossip, set up the lounge chairs in the yard, and enjoyed this rare tranquility.

"Recently, more and more people are coming to your brother to propose marriage," Li Taohua said. "Why don't you go and persuade your brother to choose one?"

"That's not the cabbage from the market, where we have to pick it out one by one. If Big Brother finds one he likes, we don't have to worry about it, he can take the person home himself."

"Your eldest brother is busy with official duties all day long, and he's rarely seen. Every day in the court, he sees only men. Where can he go to bring a man home? Is he going to bring a man home?"

"As long as Big Brother likes it, men are not unwilling... Ouch..." Qin Huiyin covered her forehead, slowly sat up, and said angrily, "Who plotted against me?"

Tang Yichen was holding a flower in his hand, tossing it up and down, and the one he had just thrown at her was also a flower. He looked at Qin Huiyin with a half-smile, his eyes revealing danger.

Qin Huiyin said sweetly: "Brother is back. Brother, do you want to have lunch at home today?"

Tang Yichen walked over and tapped her forehead: "You are finally married. Now you are bold enough to tease your elder brother."

"I'm helping Big Brother calm Mother down, lest she be persuaded by those matchmakers and hastily find you a wife you won't like. What I mean is, as long as Big Brother likes her, anyone will do. But if Big Brother doesn't like her, even if a fairy descends from heaven, it will be useless."

"That's right, be careful with your wording next time."

"Okay, big brother." Qin Huiyin raised a flattering smile.

When Tang Yichen saw that her face was rosy and she looked in good spirits, he knew that Song Ruize took good care of her.

He could finally rest assured.

Song Ruize has always been cruel. He was really worried that after he had spent so much effort to marry Yin Yin, he would not know how to cherish her, and then Yin Yin would be the one who got hurt.

"I don't have anything to do at noon today, so I'll stay home for lunch."

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and supervise them to make big brother's favorite boiled fish."

At this time, Jiang Qibin led the Jinyiwei to capture the escaped criminals.

The criminal was very good at light martial arts and escaped in the crowd. Jiang Qibin led his men to hunt him down, but he never expected that he would run into Qin Huiyin's food city.

"This kid has been locked up for too long. He doesn't know what's going on outside. If someone had told him, he would have known that running into the Food City is no different from running into our Jinyiwei."

The Embroidered Uniform Guards surrounded the Food City.

The guests who were dining inside began to panic when they saw the evil star from the Jinyiwei.

"Everyone, don't panic. We are only here to arrest the wanted criminal. If you can provide any clues, we have a generous reward."

The shopkeeper came forward and invited the Jinyiwei people in.

"Just now, a suspicious person entered the innermost Peony Pavilion," the shopkeeper said. "But there's a distinguished guest in the Peony Pavilion. I wonder if..."

"Who is the distinguished guest of Peony Pavilion?"

"County Lady Minghua."

Jiang Qibin frowned: "Take me there."

Jiang Qibin came to the Peony Pavilion and said, "Miss Hua, I'm here to have a drink at your invitation. Can I come in now?"

"I feel a little unwell today. Let's have this drink another day." The voice of Lady Minghua was trembling.

Jiang Qibin knew who was inside from the sound and what Lady Minghua had said. They couldn't alert the enemy now, or they would take Lady Minghua hostage. He couldn't even reveal Lady Minghua's identity; if her high status was revealed, the people inside would become even more emboldened.

"Ms. Hua, you are getting married soon. Let me see you one last time!" Jiang Qibin looked like an abandoned and frustrated man.

"Then... come in!" said Lady Minghua tremblingly.

As Jiang Qibin just walked in, a strong wind blew towards him.

Jiang Qibin had been prepared for this and immediately threw the powder out of his sleeve. With a thud, the man fell to the ground.

At the same time, Lady Minghua also lost consciousness and fell towards him.
