"If you want to throw dirty water on me, Master Zhong, you can try, but you have to think it through..."

Xiao Yue stretched out her voice and looked at Zhong Xingyun sarcastically.

"The matter of the Women's Academy was originally approved by my father. If you throw dirty water on me like this, you will not only slap me in the face, but also my father!"

"Fifth Princess, are you trying to threaten me using the Emperor's name?" Zhong Xingyun's face looked unhappy, but he did not show any fear.

"It's not a threat, it's just a reminder to Master Zhong. Of course, you can also bring this matter to the emperor, but I wonder if the emperor will think that Master Zhong is angry and kicked his daughter out of the house because he failed to get into the Marquis' Mansion through his daughter if he knows the whole story."

Zhong Xingyun's pupils contracted and panic instantly surged in his heart.

This matter must not develop in this direction.

Zhong Xingyun still remembers the punishment of officials who formed cliques during that period.

At that time, he was secretly happy because he was able to be promoted because of the fall of those officials. But now, if the hat of forming a clique fell on his head...

Suppressing the panic in her heart, Zhong Xingyun said with a stern face: "Although you are a princess, you can't talk nonsense like this. This matter is just a family matter and has nothing to do with government affairs."

"Now it can be said to be a family matter, but if Lord Zhong insists on taking her away by force, and the matter becomes serious, then we will inevitably have to go to the emperor to discuss it." Xiao Yue smiled, "Lord Zhong, you have to think it over. Do you still want to take Miss Zhong back?"

Zhong Xingyun gnashed his teeth and glared at Zhong Yixue fiercely, "I'll give you a few more days to think about it carefully. Once you've thought it through, get back home immediately, or I will never forgive you!"

After saying that, Zhong Xing turned around and left.

Watching Zhong Xingyun leave, Zhong Yixiu breathed a sigh of relief.

He bowed and thanked Xiao Yue, "Thank you, Fifth Princess."

"You're welcome. Jiang Suining asked me to come here. She guessed that your father would definitely come to the academy to arrest people. She also asked me to say those words just now."

"Whether it was Lady Officer Jiang's intention or not, I still have to thank the Fifth Princess."

Zhong Yixiu stood up, was silent for a moment, and then spoke again.

"Please rest assured, Princess Fifth. I will definitely teach the students well. In addition, I will also find a way to deal with the Zhong family and try my best to prevent my father from causing trouble at the Girls' Academy again."

"Okay." Xiao Yue nodded. "If you have a way, that would be great. If not, don't worry. Anyway, since you have entered the Women's Academy, we will definitely find a way to help you stay and will not let your father take you away."

After Zhong Yixiu thanked her again, Xiao Yue left the girls' college.

Qiao Fu was waiting by the carriage outside the door. When she saw her princess come out with a smile on her face, it was obvious that the problem had been solved.

Qiao Fu also smiled and asked, "Princess, shall we go back to the palace now?"

"Let's not go back yet. We finally got out of the palace. Let's take a walk and bring some cakes back to Qiaorong, so she won't complain about us not bringing her with us after we go back."

Since the marriage was over, the relationship between Xiao Yue and Qiao Fu and Qiao Rong has changed a lot.

It was like returning to the beginning of the time travel. Xiao Yue no longer used her status as a princess to pressure others. The two of them gradually became bolder and got along closer than before.

Today, because Qiao Rong caught a cold, Xiao Yue did not take her with her when she left the palace, but let her stay in the palace to rest.

The two of them got in a carriage and left, heading to several famous pastry shops in the city.

Because of Xiao Yue's words, Zhong Xingyun was much quieter in the next two days. He only visited Marquis Mingchang and the princess several times in private, wanting to apologize, but was turned away for various reasons.

In Ning Garden, Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi happened to be taking a day off today.

Lin Ziqing entered the mansion, Jiang Mushi was also there, and the four of them drank tea in the garden while listening to Lin Ziqing talk about the situation in Mingchang Marquis Mansion.

"So, Lian'er was not kept in the Marquis of Mingchang's mansion, but was arranged to be a concubine?"

"That's right. After the birthday banquet that day, the princess asked someone to invite a doctor, who confirmed that Lian'er was indeed pregnant, and the timing was also right. So even though she was very angry about Lian'er's disturbance at the birthday banquet, she didn't punish her in the end, considering the baby in her belly."

Lin Ziqing paused, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip slowly, and continued.

"But the incident was so serious that almost everyone in the court knew about it. If she was left in the mansion, it would be more difficult for Yuwen Huan to marry a noble lady in the future. So he found a house in private to keep her as a concubine."

"Even if she is considered a concubine, as long as the child is born, it is a fact that Yuwen Huan has a child before he gets married. Plus, with his reputation, which family would be willing to marry their daughter to him?" Jiang Mushi said.

Lin Ziqing shook his head. "That's not necessarily true. After all, he is the prince of the Marquis of Mingchang. Even if he is absurd, he still has a family background to support him. It is not difficult for him to marry a wife. However, if he wants to marry the daughter of a wealthy family, it may not be so easy. However..."

Lin Ziqing paused and did not continue speaking. Instead, he showed an unfathomable smile.

"But what?" Jiang Mushi asked.

"This information is very valuable. How can I tell you casually?" Lin Ziqing shook his head.

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly. Don't keep us on suspense." Jiang Mushi urged, "Look at you, it's obvious that you know some interesting news and came here today to tell us."

"It's really interesting, and it's about Lian'er, but... I still need to think about whether to tell it or not."

"The baby in Lian'er's belly is not Yuwen Huan's." Jiang Suining said.

"real or fake?"

"how do you know?"

Jiang Mushi and Lin Ziqing spoke at the same time.

Jiang Suining curled his lips, "I guessed."

"So it's really not Yuwen Huan's child?" Jiang Mushi was surprised.

Lin Ziqing said: "Tianyin Pavilion found out that Lian'er had a childhood sweetheart. Before she was sold to the brothel, the two had already secretly decided to spend their lives together. During the time when Yuwen Huan and Lian'er were together, Lian'er also happened to reunite with that person. Therefore, the child in her belly is most likely her childhood sweetheart."

"Then she still went to the Marquis of Mingchang's mansion?"

"That man was just a peddler. He left the imperial city a month ago and is now missing. Maybe Lian'er feels that he is unreliable, or maybe he wants to give his child a better future."

Lin Ziqing paused and looked at Jiang Suining.

"If I sell this information to the Marquis' Mansion, I will definitely make a fortune. Besides, the Marquis' Mansion is also trying to find out about Lian'er's past. I'm just hesitant about whether to tell it or not. What do you think?"
