Chapter 113
Gu Frost was seldom angry, and she was even more caring and courteous to the aunts and grandmothers of the Rong family.
Now that Rong Xiangzhi wanted to interfere with the family’s reception, she couldn’t tolerate it even if she was good-tempered.
Rong Xiangzhi looked ignorant, listening to the statement of Laifu, still refused to admit, on the contrary, pointing at him angrily said: “This lackey, I do not know by whose orders to slander me! Are you being led by the nose by a lackey?”
Rong Xiangmian sneered, “It doesn’t matter if your sister doesn’t admit it, Chief Duan naturally has the ability to make your sister admit it.”
“You!” Rong Xiangchi looked at her with an unbelievable expression, “You dare to say one more word to His Majesty? Aren’t you afraid that His Majesty will take the wrath of the whole family?”
Rong Xiangshi knew that she was emboldened by this, but did not obey her, “The whole family? You are a member of the Eldest Princess’ residence and I am a member of the Yul Wang residence, who is your family?”
“You!” Rong Xiangzhi was so shocked that she couldn’t speak, she turned around and went to open the door, “I knew it, ever since you climbed up the ladder, you’ve been thinking of trampling on your sister.”
But when she stepped out of the door, she was pushed back by Xiao Nan. Rong Xiangzhi has been pampered since she was a child, when has she ever been treated so rudely, she was so angry that she cursed, “You bitch, how dare you touch me?”
Xiao Nan clasped her hands in front of her chest, she didn’t care about the verbal argument: “Worthy or not, I have moved. If you don’t like it, hit me!”
Rong Xiangzhi really wants to fight, Rong Xiangshi pulls her back, “Xiao Nan saved your life, you are not grateful to her, but you speak ill of your savior, how did madam teach you to be like this?”
“Rong Xiangmian, you all conspired to cause me to go into the water, why are you pretending to save me?”
Rong Xiangmian didn’t bother to talk to her, she still had to entertain the guests, so she instructed Xiao Nan: “Watch her, coax her maids to come over and shut her up, don’t let them seek for their lives, don’t let her escape, let the feather forest guards come to pick her up later!” He also asked his sister-in-law to send someone to take Laifu down to be imprisoned.
Rong Xiangmian finished her orders and left. Gu hurriedly followed her out. She didn’t think that the princess was going to get serious and wanted to persuade her, but she didn’t know how to start.
Still, Rong Xiangshi spoke first: “Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I won’t really hand her over, it would be a huge scandal for the Yuhang Mansion, the Eldest Princess Mansion, and the Duke of England’s Mansion.”
Gu Frost understood. She had married into the Rong family for a few years, how could she not be clear about the situation at home. The third sister was her mother’s only biological child, highly favored, and had her parents to cover everything, unlike his husband and two concubine sisters, who always held back and begged for more.
If we don’t teach Rong Xiangzhi a lesson this time, and let her get by with the Rong family’s patronage, she won’t learn from her mistakes, and she’ll be more and more unscrupulous in the future.
Lai Fu just entered the kitchen, Li Qing’s family put him under guard. It took a long time for the fire on the mountain to burn, so it is very likely that he did not set it. Moreover, if he had set the fire, why would he need to go to the kitchen?
Although the third girl acted improperly, but did not really cause a major disaster, really want to pull her crime, at most only attempted. Wangfei will not be for an attempted crime, the sister sent to the palace to be punished, implicating everyone.
Thinking through this section, Gu Frost no more words, comforted Xiangmian some, the two pretended to be nothing, continue to accompany the guests to tour the garden.
The rest of the guests and spent half an hour, as much fun before leaving. In the end, Hongyi was so happy that he didn’t want to go home and said he wanted to stay at the Jing Yi Yuan.
Rong Xiangmian and Zhou Xianyang were fine with this, but how could the King and his wife dare? But how could the couple dare to do so? They coaxed and lectured their son and led him away.
The day’s exhaustion finally passed without incident.
Only Rong’s family was left in the garden, and everyone was slow to see Rong Xiangqi. As Xiangqi expected, although the eldest princess was dissatisfied, she was too lazy to say more in front of her parents, and only cared for a few sentences without insisting on taking her back to the house. So that she can be detained and slowly disposed of.
The family is ready to send guests to the door of the Jing Yi Garden, the Princess let the Rong family do not have to send, leaving Zhou Xian Yang alone, about to have something to say, the people will be interested to go back to the garden.
Xiangmian took the opportunity to tell her parents what Xiangzhi had done today, and then simply asked, “Third sister refuses to recognize her, and my daughter would like to ask my father and mother what to do about it?”
The entire Rong family was shocked to learn that Rong Xiangzhi had instructed the slaves to set the fire.
The Duke of England was so angry that he cursed, “This unfilial thing never puts the face of the family in his heart. A good feast today was ruined by a fire!”
The Duke of England’s wife has been with her daughter for the past few days, and in her heart, she is also clear that Xiang Zhi came back and had a conflict with Xiang Xiang Xiang. However, how could she not dare to think that her daughter would even dare to stir up the yellow of a family receiving the driver.
“Where is Aichi?” Madam refused to believe Xiangmian’s words and wanted to ask her face to face.
Rong Xiangmian was expressionless: “Mother, you are as good as you are to your sister. If she refuses to confess to me, how will she confess to you? In my opinion, let the feathered guards come and ask, they will soon have the answer!”
“No way!”
“No!”
As expected, the Duke and Duchess of England both objected in unison.
One said, “If the Feathered Forest Guards know, His Majesty will know. When the time comes, I’m only afraid that the whole family will be involved, the Rong family has managed to get to where it is today with great difficulty, we must not have another incident.”
One said, “You are so cruel! How dare you want to use the Featherwood Guards to torture your sister?”
“I’m ruthless?” Rong Xiangmian sneered, “Mother, Laifu is someone you have used under your hand for many years. If it wasn’t your sister who masterminded this, then who would this matter end up falling on, have you thought about that?”
Once Liu heard that Xiangmian directly brought it to her head, she immediately became so angry that she couldn’t speak properly, “Good ah …… you you even …… suspect me too!”
“No, Xiangmian has never been half suspicious of mother. Mother will the honor of the British Duke’s House is more important than anything else, the whole family who does not know?” Rong Xiangmian finished his hard words, then said soft words, so that Liu could not be good enough to find excuses for Rong Xiangzhi, “Arson in front of His Majesty the Empress Dowager’s heel, this is a capital offense. Father and mother, how to deal with it?”
Liu still want to argue, the British Duke interrupted her words, know that at this time simply can not again harbor, then said, “she is confused deserve to die, but at least it is only attempted, let her kneel in the ancestral hall, introspection to atone for their sins.”
“Father,” Rong Xiangmian laughed, “You forgot that sister will be returning to the Eldest Princess’ residence tomorrow. How can you make her kneel at the ancestral hall?”
“…… “Rong Sheng face a burst of embarrassment.
“Then what are you going to do?” Liu had already sensed that Rong Xiangshi would never let it go, and a wave of anxiety ran through her heart. Now that she was the crown princess, she might not be able to stop her if she really had any plans.
Rong Xiangshi laughed, “Father and mother do not want to do things publicly, intending to do it privately, but privately, they are unable to dispose of it. Daughter thought, now my sister is already a person of the eldest princess house, since father and mother can’t control her, then at least to know the eldest princess ……”
“Nonsense!” Liu interrupted Rong Xiangmian’s words, “If the Eldest Princess knows, she will definitely inform the Empress Dowager and His Majesty. Even if she looks at your father’s face and keeps this secret, she will definitely make Zhongqing repudiate Xiangshi! When that happens, will you look good? Xiang Wen hasn’t even proposed marriage yet! You should also think about her.”
Rong Xiangshi laughed coldly: “According to father and mother’s meaning, sister intends to ruin this garden opening event and trap His Highness and I in a place of no return, and I can’t even think of a single thing I can do about her?”
Liu knew that Xiangchi had done something confusing and was at a disadvantage, so she turned to pacify her, “Xiangmian, don’t worry. I will definitely teach her a good lesson. She is also a moment of confusion, you know she grew up with smooth sailing, these months in the eldest princess residence suffered a lot of aggression, in favor of your marriage with king yup, and it is her bypass, it is inevitable that she will not be able to turn the corner for a moment. I will definitely persuade her properly, so as not to make her do anything unfavorable to you again.”
“Momentarily confused?” Rong Xiangmian asked Zhenru to pass up the cup of fruit tea laced with peach juice, “You guys smell it, she laced the tea with peach juice, this is a moment of confusion? She clearly wants me to die! Even if I can’t die, she wants me to lose my honor in front of everyone! When she saw that I didn’t drink the peach juice, and the fire didn’t burn up yet, she just dropped the water and slandered me, one setup after another, clearly refusing to let me go!”
The Duke and Duchess of State now knew why Xiangmian was so grasping at straws. There was a slight guilt in their eyes, but they still didn’t let go.
Rong Xiangmian gave them a choice: “Since father and mother both feel that third sister has suffered a lot in the Elder Princess’ residence, wouldn’t it be the best ending to let sister return home? Sister doesn’t have to live a suffocating life anymore, and back home father and mother naturally have plenty of time and energy to properly educate her.”
When these words came out, even Gu, who was originally on her side, was taken aback.
Xiang Wen was looking to be at the age to say goodbye, how could there be an abandoned woman in the family?
“Fourth sister, do you know what you’re saying? Aren’t you afraid of implicating sixth sister?” Gu was anxious.
Rong Xiangwen comforted her, “Sister-in-law need not worry. Xiangwen isn’t third sister’s own sister. She is the daughter of Great General Rong, who would dare to slight her? Besides, I will look after Xiangwen as if she were my own sister and find a good family for her. Your Highness even mentioned to me the other day that Old General Qi’s residence wanted to ask me to speak to the young son of the Qi family about marriage.”
When the words came to this point, Gu did not persuade, but the Duke of England’s wife quit: “Xiangwen, do you really want your sister to be repudiated and become an outcast? Let the whole family be disgraced? You yourself as Yuhang Princess scenery unlimited, but also can not in turn trample on the family ah. We’ve treated you well all these years, you should also be more conscientious.”
Rong Xiangmian looked at Liu helplessly, her tone sarcastic: “Mother still wants to talk to me about conscience? The Yuhuang Mansion is not something I wanted to marry, it was you, mother, who couldn’t bear the thought of my third sister marrying off to the borderlands of Yangzhou, and taught her to pretend to jump into the lake and kill herself, forcing father to go to the Eldest Princess’s Mansion to propose a marriage, and that’s why you took me to marry off in her place in Yangzhou!”
“You are wanton!” Duchess of State was abruptly poked and prodded into anger, “You unfilial thing, relying on King Yuh’s power, you’re going to run roughshod over the family, covering up the sky with one hand?”
“I’m going to run roughshod over the world?” Rong Xiangmian laughed back in anger, “Mother’s daughter, mother’s lackey harmed me in my home, set fire to my home, and now says that I’m running roughshod over you! I don’t know what kind of reasoning this is, why don’t we talk about it in front of the Royal Court and let His Majesty decide the case.”
Liu’s still want to argue again, the Duke of England yelled at her, “Enough! The good daughter you taught, the good idea you came up with, do you think I really don’t know? But you only have this one daughter in your life, you can’t bear to poke holes in it. You don’t know what to do, and you’ve made her more and more out of shape, doing this kind of heartless and crazy thing, destroying the face of the whole family!”
The Duke of England knew that Xiangmian was being pushed, and was worried that if he did not let Rong Xiangzhi learn a lesson now, he would be in a lot of trouble in the future, so he had to go along with her, so he immediately said, “Xiangmian, let you do as you wish. Tomorrow, I will go to the door to apologize to the Princess, let your sister stay in our family ancestral shrine to atone for her sins, will not let her out of character again.”
