Chapter 283 Face is the most important
"Who are you calling stupid?"
Lu Zhiyi was angered by Ye Xinran's words.
Just as she was about to use the fact that her brother had become a prince to suppress Ye Xinran, she saw the servants escorting Ning Yuer and Lu Changning past her yard.
"Mom, why are you..."
Lu Zhiyi was so shocked that he shouted out in desperation.
Ning Yuer turned her head and shook her head vigorously after seeing Lu Zhiyi.
They are already in this situation, and they must not involve Lu Zhiyi.
Lu Zhiyi is their only hope.
When Lu Zhiyi saw that the two men had rags stuffed in their mouths, he knew something was wrong and immediately clenched his fists, his nails almost digging into the flesh of his palms.
Ye Xinran looked at her like this and smiled softly: "Why, are you feeling sorry for her? Why don't you accompany your mother and brother to be punished together?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? My brother is Lu Changqing, and he is receiving an award in front of us now!"
Lu Zhiyi said immediately.
"Oh? Your brother has changed into a different person in this moment! You are really fickle! Then don't be sad when your mother dies!"
Ye Xinran ignored her and said to the gatekeeper, "Guard this place well. Don't let her run away or die!"
The old woman immediately agreed and respectfully sent Ye Xinran away.
Ye Xinran went to the front yard and saw Leng Qingyu seeing Eunuch Li off. She stood there quietly until Leng Qingyu turned around and saw her, then she waved her hand and ran up.
"Xinran, you're back. What's going on? Was it Prince Rui who moved in to announce the imperial edict? How did they know that someone from the Ministry of Justice would come today?"
Ye Xinran took her hand and walked into the house while saying, "It's cold outside, Mom, let's go inside and talk."
Ye Xinran said, and looked towards the backyard. Not long after, the housekeeper came back, came to Ye Xinran, bent over, and said humbly: "Miss, what do you want me to do?"
Ye Xinran said, "I just returned home and saw that many people were injured, including you, the housekeeper. Now arrange for two people with agile legs to go to the clinic outside to find a few doctors and come to the mansion to treat everyone."
"This……"
The housekeeper felt warm in his heart, but still looked up at Leng Qingyu.
Seeing his hesitation, Leng Qingyu said with a hint of blame: "Why are you still standing there? Go and make arrangements! Find the best doctor and pay for the consultation from the mansion's account."
"Hey! Hey!"
The butler nodded repeatedly, with a look of joy on his face.
Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Leng Qingyu say, "Wait a minute!"
The housekeeper looked up quickly, "Madam, do you have any other instructions?"
"After everyone has finished their treatment, let everyone go to Lanzhi to claim their reward. Thank you for everyone's hard work today!"
When the butler heard Leng Qingyu say this, a look of delight appeared on his face.
Ever since the Marquis left, he has been worried that the Madam is dissatisfied with him and will ask him to leave at any time. Now that the Madam can say this, it means that the Madam recognizes him.
He hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "Being loyal to the master is what we should do as servants. The only thing I regret now is that the servants in the mansion are too incompetent and cannot protect the lady's safety at the critical moment.
I will pay attention to this aspect in the future. If it doesn’t work, I will hire a coach to come to my house and teach everyone some martial arts.”
Leng Qingyu nodded: "Just arrange this matter as you see fit!"
The housekeeper thanked him profusely and went downstairs to arrange for someone to find a doctor. Leng Qingyu asked Ye Xinran and Lu Changqing to go back to their room together.
After entering the room, Leng Qingyu asked again: "What happened today? Could it be that King Rui had arranged it long ago?"
Lu Changqing also followed up with the question: "Yes, sister, what's going on? How did I become a prince? This is too outrageous!"
Ye Xinran first looked at Lu Changqing, "Why can't you be a prince? You made such a good farm tool as the thresher, which will benefit the people of Daliang.
Not only does it reduce the burden on farmers, it also helps them save time to plant a second crop of rice, increasing food production. This is a great achievement for both the people and the country. If you don't do it, who will?"
"But, but isn't this what you came up with?"
Lu Changqing felt a little embarrassed.
Ye Xinran smiled and said, "We are all family, there is no need to distinguish between yours and mine.
The idea was mine, but the product was made by you.
Besides, if the credit is given to me, at most I can be made a princess, so it would be more cost-effective for you to be a prince."
"sister……"
Before Lu Changqing could say anything else, Ye Xinran just waved at him and turned to Leng Qingyu, "Mom, you weren't scared today, were you?"
Leng Qingyu held Ye Xinran's hand and said, "I've experienced a lot over the years, so this little shock is nothing. What I'm most curious about now is, what exactly is going on?"
Ye Xinran then said: "Mom, today's matter was actually arranged in advance.
But it was not arranged by King Rui.
As for King Rui, he just kept an eye on the opponent's movements at all times. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either.
If the enemy moves, then all plans will begin to unfold."
Leng Qingyu thought about it, but still didn't quite understand: "According to what you said, the title of King Qin was already thought of a long time ago, but the imperial edict would only be announced when the Ministry of Justice came to cause trouble?
What if they don't come? Is there any more Prince Changqing?"
Ye Xinran nodded.
"Of course! It's just a matter of time!
I heard from Prince Rui that the Emperor was very satisfied with what his brother had done, and the title of Qin Wang was drafted by the Emperor himself!"
Leng Qingyu looked at Lu Changqing, his eyes full of pride.
Ye Xinran continued, "In fact, what Prince Rui and the Emperor said was even deeper. The Emperor also knew that the Third Prince was eyeing the wealth of the ministers' families.
Prince Rui told me that the agreement between him and the Emperor was that he would be responsible for keeping an eye on the movements of the Third Prince's residence and the Ministry of Justice, and once they used any means, the palace would intervene to stop it.
Our goal is to get rid of the Third Prince's control over us, and the Emperor's goal is to find something to hold against the Third Prince.
We all have the same goal, and we have a common goal.”
"Then will this incident have any impact on the Third Prince?"
Leng Qingyu asked with some concern.
After all, it wasn't a big deal, and it wasn't too ugly. Can this level of evidence be considered a handle?
If she had known this earlier, she would have opened the door wide and allowed the people around to come into the mansion to see what was going on.
Let everyone know how the people from the Ministry of Justice bullied the Marquis’ Mansion.
Ye Xinran comforted her: "Royal affairs will be difficult to resolve if they are made too big. After all, for the emperor, face is the most important thing.
Some things can be done secretly behind the scenes, but once they are brought to light, the people above will do everything they can to suppress them!"
