Chapter 513: Defeated General, Not Worth Noting
"It's related to Xiao Jincheng." Ji Chuhe said confidently.
"Madam is really amazing. She guessed it right away."
"Actually, I have already met Xiao Jincheng today." Ji Chuhe said again.
Xiao Yanan was surprised: "He went to see you?"
"Not only him, but also an acquaintance."
"Who?"
"Ming'er."
When Xiao Yanan heard the name, he shuddered with physical discomfort.
It is really a memory that I cannot bear to look back on.
"Xiao Jincheng married her?"
"I'm not sure whether they will marry or not, but they are together now and have adopted a daughter who is a few years old. When I first arrived at the shop today, their adopted daughter hugged my thighs tightly and called me aunt. Later, Ming'er and Xiao Jincheng also showed up one after another and wanted to join us."
"What happened next?" Xiao Yan'an asked hurriedly.
"I gave him twenty taels of silver and I thought at the time that this matter would not be so easy to resolve."
"The Emperor asked me to take him to the Prince's Mansion, and also told me that my elder brother is like a father and asked me to treat Xiao Jincheng well."
"In that case, I'll have the front yard cleaned up and a few rooms made for them to live in."
"Once they come, I'm afraid there will be no peace."
"As long as we are in the imperial capital, we can forget about living in peace."
"That's right, it's what my lady said, if an enemy comes, we'll fight him with our troops, if a flood comes, we'll block it with earth!"
The news that Xiao Yan'an was going to take Xiao Jincheng to the Prince's Mansion spread like wildfire.
It has become a hotly discussed topic among the people.
Everyone thinks that the Crown Prince's wife is right. Giving them twenty taels and letting them find a way to be self-reliant is better than taking them to the Crown Prince's Mansion and raising them, right?
Xiao Yan'an also sent someone to inform Xiao Jincheng.
We'll take them over once the accommodation is ready.
"Second Young Master, even though Ji Chuhe wants to send us away, she doesn't have the final say on this matter. Who dares to disobey the Emperor's order?"
"Once you arrive at the Prince's Mansion, you must follow my orders in everything!" Xiao Jincheng said with a gloomy face.
"Yes." Ming'er responded immediately.
"One more thing, remember your identity. You are not even a concubine, just a maid."
"Yes." Ming'er lowered his head, hiding the viciousness in his eyes.
Although Concubine Gao did not live long, her life was ruined!
Prince Huaiyang asked the second son to take her as a concubine, but Concubine Gao made her unable to have children forever with a bowl of red soup.
She was sent out by County Magistrate Gao and followed a few people, like a piece of cargo, being passed around. Later, when Xiao Jincheng came to the imperial capital, she cried and begged Xiao Jincheng to keep her by his side.
Fortunately, Xiao Jincheng agreed.
She didn't have any extravagant hopes, she only hoped that after Xiao Jincheng successfully replaced Xiao Yan'an as the crown prince, he would give her the status of a concubine.
……
Ji Chuhe prepared for three days and ordered people to pick up Xiao Jincheng and Ming'er into the mansion.
When Dong Ling heard this, she was so angry that she almost died!
She really could not have imagined that Ming'er would appear in front of her one day!
Lin Siyou didn't know what happened in Huaiyang, and naturally didn't know what happened between Ming'er and Xiao Yan'an before. She only saw Dong Ling gritting his teeth in hatred, and she also felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.
"Siyou, stay away from Ming'er. She is a poisonous scorpion. She will bite you if you are not careful."
"I understand, Sister Dongling." Lin Siyou nodded immediately.
"And that Second Young Master is no good either! He has never had a peaceful day. Since we arrived in the imperial capital, first Concubine Luo made trouble, then the Queen Mother brought in the disgusting Liao Yunfei, then there was the ***, and now here comes Ming'er!"
Rong Qingqing walked over here, "Dong Ling, what are you talking about?"
"Let's talk about the Second Young Master." Dong Ling responded immediately.
"It must be because I broke off my engagement with the Third Prince that this Second Young Master came here."
"Miss Qingqing, please don't say that. Some things can't be avoided." Dong Ling immediately comforted.
"My sister-in-law said that the second young master is a man after all, and there are female relatives in the backyard. Since they moved in, the front yard and the backyard are not connected. As long as you stay in the backyard and don't go out, generally speaking, you won't have any contact with him."
"Miss Qingqing, I don't want to hide. I wish I could see Ming'er every day! If she wants to do anything that is not good for Madam, I will be the first to tear her apart!"
Dong Ling is not afraid.
After all, he was a defeated general, not worth mentioning!
Lin Siyou glanced at the sturdy Dong Ling.
"Really! I had a fight with her once when I was in Huaiyang! You don't know, she and the Second Young Master..." Dong Ling stopped talking here.
She almost forgot that Miss Qingqing was still an unmarried girl. She must not let that scene pollute Miss Qingqing's ears.
"What happened between her and the second young master?" Rong Qingqing asked curiously.
"They are birds of a feather!" Dong Ling immediately changed her words.
Rong Qingqing nodded, indicating that she understood. "By now, most people have arrived. I will go meet Ming'er later."
Rong Qingqing immediately ordered her servants to notify her as soon as the second young master arrived.
Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an received the news that Xiao Jincheng and Ming'er had arrived outside the mansion, and the two of them walked out together.
Xiao Jincheng and Ming'er got off the carriage, and both sides of the road were already crowded with people watching the fun.
"The second son of the Huaiyang Palace is so shabby! He has been in the imperial capital for more than a year, and he only has so little belongings."
"Yes, there are only three bags, and they are not full yet."
"Ah, the Crown Prince and his wife are really in trouble."
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, Xiao Jincheng is the prince's younger brother. How can we just ignore him?"
"The Crown Prince and his wife are just too kind."
Xiao Jincheng listened to the discussions around him, his heart in turmoil.
He lived in hiding in the imperial capital and suffered a lot.
However, Xiao Yan'an was very successful in the imperial capital and stole the limelight.
He has also accumulated such good popularity and reputation among the people of the imperial capital.
But what's the use of this?
The emperor's goal is to have him replace Xiao Yan'an.
Xiao Yan'an offended the emperor and did not die in Funing, but he would not be able to escape death in the future.
This time, he will definitely seize the opportunity to replace Xiao Yan'an!
Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe came out.
Xiao Jincheng immediately smiled, and took Ming'er and his adopted daughter Yaoyao to respectfully bow to Xiao Yan'an: "Greetings, Prince, Madam."
"No need to be so polite." Xiao Yan'an raised his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yan'an raised his hand and patted Xiao Jincheng's shoulder, just like he did before.
Xiao Jincheng was a little surprised.
Xiao Yanan is not good at pretending and doesn't like pretending. Even if he can't show that he is too repulsive to him, he can't act like nothing happened, right?
"Let's go, let's talk inside the mansion."
"Yes."
Xiao Jincheng followed Xiao Yan'an into the mansion.
Ming'er looked around.
The Prince’s Mansion is not very big, and it doesn’t look very impressive from the outside. After all, it is a house awarded by the Emperor, and it is ready-made.
However, once she walked in, she discovered that there was another world.
It’s so luxurious in here!
