The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

"Responsibility?" Zhou turned around and looked at the shameless Minister Fang: "As the head of the Shangshu Mansion, you can't keep an eye on it, and you blame me, a powerless lady?"

She stretched out her hand, pointed at Aunt Lin, and looked at the old lady.

"My mother is in charge of the storehouse, and Aunt Lin is in charge of the backyard. Which one of them is not more powerful than me?"

Afterwards, Zhou rubbed Fang Shiwan's head and said gently, "Wan'er, you must be scared. It's okay. Your father is not capable of keeping an eye on those things. Since they are lost, it's not a big deal. Mom will take you out to buy back the lost things in a while."

Fang Shiwan smiled slightly: "Yes, mother."

Ignoring the jealous gaze of the old lady behind her, Zhou led Fang Shiwan and left Qingxin Courtyard without looking back.

Seeing her daughter-in-law who had no intention of helping the family, the old lady behind her recovered and fell back on the bed, "What a misfortune for our family..."

Seeing this, Fang Zhirou hurried over to comfort her grandmother, "Are you okay, grandma?"

Her mother is not the principal wife, and her maternal family has no power. Now the only people she can rely on in this family are her grandmother and father.

"It's a misfortune for the family..."

Qi Wang Mansion.

Ever since Mo Qitian came back last night, the corners of his mouth have been raised. Ye Feng was frightened by what he saw. Could this prince be stupid?

"Your Majesty."

"Ah."

Ye Feng followed in reluctantly and stood respectfully in front of Mo Qitian's desk.

"Your Majesty, there is a huge commotion in the Shangshu Mansion."

Mo Qitian's eyes flashed with a smile, and he raised his head to look at Ye Feng in front of him, "What's the matter?"

"Early this morning, the concubines of the Shangshu Mansion came out to look for the Shangshu. Unexpectedly, the Shangshu was wearing a housekeeper's uniform, and the concubines were also dressed inappropriately."

"I saw the Shangshu Lord hurriedly going to several places, and then stopped at the storehouse of the Shangshu Mansion."

At this point, Ye Feng suddenly moved closer, and said to the prince in front of him with an incredible look on his face: "Guess what I saw?"

"The storehouse of the Shangshu Mansion was actually blown up, and even the roof was gone."

Mo Qitian remembered Fang Shiwan's behavior last night, and suddenly felt that the little girl in front of him seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets. He supported his chin with his hand and continued to listen.

"When the minister saw it, he was so frightened by the scene that he fell to the ground, and then the old lady also fell to the ground."

"Is Miss Fang here?"

Ye Feng recalled and shook his head: "No."

Then he remembered something and said, "But Your Majesty, not long after the Shangshu and the old lady were carried into the yard, Miss Fang and Zhou came out hand in hand."

"From the look of Miss Fang, I don't think she's in a hurry at all."

When Mo Qitian heard this, he probably knew what was going on and curled his lips.

This Zhou was once the apple of General Zhou's eye, and she was also the younger sister held in the palms of the hands of the two sons of the Zhou family. The second son was a famous businessman in the imperial city, with businesses spread throughout the entire Qian Dynasty. Even he had to be cautious sometimes when doing things.

This Minister Fang doesn't know how to curry favor with others, but actually favors his concubine and ignores his wife. It is really like dying under the peony flower and being a romantic ghost.

Given Minister Fang's personality, he would probably go to the palace to meet the emperor and discuss the matter with him, letting him make the decision for him.

"Yefeng, follow me into the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

I don't know when the prince will enter the palace at this time, but judging from his appearance, he must have something important to discuss. Not daring to delay, Ye Feng hurriedly followed him out the door.

"No need for a carriage, just prepare the horses."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With the help of his servants, Minister Fang finally got on the carriage. As the carriage was about to arrive at the palace, Minister Fang went over the speech he had prepared in his mind.

When he entered the palace, he must not tell anyone that Concubine Liu had a miscarriage, nor that the Second Madam was pregnant.

"Master, we're here."

"Well, please help me get off the carriage."

The groom and Ding Bo immediately helped Minister Fang out. However, since Ding Bo was just a servant in the mansion, he could not go in with them and had to wait for Minister Fang at the gate of the palace.

Just like that, Minister Fang dragged his tired body towards the main hall alone.

Because the emperor did not attend court today, he was currently reviewing memorials in his study.

"Father, this is the list of bribes for the imperial examination that I accidentally found these days."

Mo Qitian took out from his sleeve the list of imperial examination candidates that he had secretly checked in the past few days, and found that a large number of officials had been bribed. He had originally planned to take it out later, but now it came in handy.

The emperor was sitting at his desk. When he heard Mo Qitian say that someone was tampering with the imperial examination, the pen in his hand fell to the ground.

"what?"

The emperor was somewhat shocked. The imperial examination was the hope for the future of the entire Qian Dynasty and the foundation of the rule of successive emperors. The officials who came out of the imperial examinations were all future important ministers of the court.

The imperial court values ​​talents and allocates a lot of money to the imperial examinations every year. On the one hand, it is afraid of missing out on talented people, and on the other hand, it is afraid that someone may be bribed. Now that his fourth son says that someone is tampering with the imperial examinations, how can he sit still?

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

"Bring it here and show it to me."

He wanted to see who was so bold.

Mo Qitian's face was solemn. He could see that his father attached great importance to this matter. He was also glad that he had taken these out in advance. He couldn't help but think of the little girl's face.

"Your Majesty, Minister Fang requests to see you."

At this time, the personal eunuch Li Zhongxin walked into the study and spoke respectfully to the emperor.

The emperor was so absorbed in the list in his hand that he had no time to pay any attention to Minister Fang.

"Tell him to come back another day."

After hearing this, Eunuch Li lowered his head again and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister said that if you don't see him, he will have to wait at the door until you summon him."

The emperor was about to put the list down when he caught a glimpse of a glaring name on his right.

He then closed the list in his hand, placed it aside on the table, and covered it with a memorial.

"Let him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Minister Fang heard that the emperor summoned him, he was very excited, so he walked in with the support of Eunuch Li.

"My dear Fang, how come you are like this after not seeing you for just one day?"

The emperor frowned as he watched Minister Fang limping in. He couldn't even walk, and yet he came to see him? Maybe his brain was burned out.

Minister Fang walked over, let go of Eunuch Li, patted his sleeves and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please help me."

"My dear Minister Fang, is there anything I need to help you with?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Your Majesty, my house was robbed. They took away all my belongings. Even... even my underwear was stolen."
