Shu He's eyes were red, and she lowered her head and shed tears silently. Qu Ying was angry and furious when she saw this. It could be seen that she tried to take a deep breath and calm herself down, but she failed.

"No, I have to go and ask Shu He for an explanation."

Shu He hurriedly grabbed Qu Ying's hand, tears hanging on her pale face and her eyes filled with tears. That look broke Jiang Yuan's heart.

"Don't, don't go, it's useless. Mom and Dad have already been there, but, alas."

Jiang Yuan turned to look at Ning Xiu, "Mr. Yu and Madam have been there? Shu He's husband's family is the family of General Fang, the commander of the capital, right?"

Ningxiu nodded, "Yes, it's General Fang's family. The master and his wife came to visit. General Fang also said that he would give the girl an explanation and said that she would be severely punished."

Qu Ying sighed and held Shu He's hand, "Is this a severe punishment?"

"Where is Shuhe's husband working now?"

"In Tiger Hill Camp, Chief Guard."

Jiang Yuan sneered, "The chief guard of Huqiu Camp, haha, this is really a sinecure assigned to those rich young men in the capital."

Jiang Yuan didn't know much about the civil service lineage, but he had studied the official positions of the military commanders of this era in detail.

One advantage of Dayu is that it does not value civil officials over military officials. Perhaps it is because of the constant wars and chaos, the court needs to rely on these military generals and cannot suppress them too much, so the status of military generals in the court is still very high.

Several of the more famous generals were successful in the military, but their children were somewhat spoiled and arrogant, and lost the character of the older generation of generals.

But no matter what, this is a family of military generals, so kung fu is naturally something they have been learning since childhood. It is partly used in the martial arts examinations for selection, and it is also a blessing to the Chengze family.

The imperial guards, patrol camps, city patrol guards, local garrison camps, border garrisons, and the three major barracks in the capital, the Huqiu Camp, the Flying Tiger Camp, and the Black Cavalry Guards, all of them are soldiers and generals.

If he is the chief guard of the city patrol guards, and there is also the guard captain Sun that Xie Yunxiao knew before, these are guard captains who protect a city from danger, and they are considered to have some skills.

But Huqiu Camp was originally a military camp, filled with capable and skilled soldiers, and being the guard of Huqiu Camp was just an unnecessary job.

"Commander-in-chief, General Fang Zhiyi, who was personally appointed as the Dragon and Tiger General by the Emperor, has arranged for his son to be the chief guard of the Huqiu Camp. He really doesn't want to save his old face anymore." Jiang Yuan lowered his eyes and sneered.

Shu He looked at Jiang Yuan's scary expression. Having known him for so long, she knew that Jiang Yuan was angry. She quickly stood up, but was held down by Qu Ying. "Don't move. Don't move."

Shu He stretched out her hand to Jiang Yuan, and only when Jiang Yuan held her hand did she seriously persuade him, "Don't get angry, this matter is not that simple.

Your brother has just been promoted to an official position, so please don't cause any trouble for him.

Although the next generation of the Fang family is not capable, the old general's reputation is still there, and the Fang family's grace still exists, otherwise my parents would have gone to the emperor to ask for an explanation for me.

But right now, I'm fine, it's all just a false alarm. If it gets out of hand, it won't be a good thing, so just bear with it."

In order to reassure Yu Shuhe, Jiang Yuan restrained his emotions and nodded at her, "Okay, don't worry.

Are you asked to stay at home to take care of the baby?"

“I don’t know yet, but he comes every day, begging for my forgiveness, and brings me gifts every day. My parents don’t accept them, but I know it can’t go on like this.

Now, from the perspective of outsiders, he is the one who feels guilty, but if he keeps holding on to it, it will appear that the Yu family is ungrateful and that his daughter is arrogant, domineering, narrow-minded and intolerant.

So, after a while, when the baby is more stable, we should go back."

Qu Ying was still angry, "So this matter is over, and the concubine is done with it?"

"You two, are you still leaving Beijing? I..."

Qu Ying held Shu He's hand tightly and shook her head seriously, "No, I'll stay with you."

Jiang Yuan also nodded, and Shu He breathed a sigh of relief, "I feel at ease knowing you are here."

Shu He was still weak, so after talking for a while, they saw that she was beginning to lose spirit, so they said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Shu He kept asking them to come back tomorrow.

"Ningxiu, where is Madam Yu?" Jiang Yuan asked after leaving the room.

In the past, when the two of them came over to play, Madam Yu would always come over and chat with them, watching the three girls laughing and talking with love. But today, after staying for such a long time, Madam Yu was not seen.

“Madam went to Huangjue Temple this morning and will probably be back in the evening. My Lord also has official business to attend to. He has been very busy these past few days, but whenever he comes back, he will come to see the girl.

Since the girl's accident, the lady has been crying, her eyes are swollen, and she can't sleep well at night."

"Okay, I'll ask Zhishu to bring some calming incense later. Your daughter can use it too. It won't harm the fetus and can help keep it safe."

Ningxiu looked at Jiang Yuan gratefully, "Thank you, young lady."

"Okay, you go back. If anything happens, don't listen to your daughter. Be sure to inform us as soon as possible, okay?" Qu Ying pulled Ningxiu and reminded her.

"Yes, I have remembered it."

After getting on the carriage, Qu Ying's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She was not so angry even when she was injured last time.

The air pressure in the carriage dropped to freezing point along the way. When they were about to reach the Marquis's residence, Qu Yingcai spoke up, "Mother asked you to stay for dinner."

"I also want to ask the eldest princess if there is any way to solve Shuhe's problem."

--------

"No, we outsiders cannot interfere in Shuhe's affairs." Upon hearing this, the eldest princess directly refused.

Qu Jin was there too. She knew Shu He and was a few years older than Shu He, so she treated her like a little sister.

When she was young, Shuhe was always with Qu Ying, following behind her, pulling her clothes, and when her kite hit a tree, she would cry and ask her for help.

"The Fang family has made contributions to the founding of the country, but the next generation of talent is fading. General Fang wants the Fang family's descendants to pursue a career in politics, and wants a lady from a wealthy family to be his daughter-in-law.

He took a fancy to the Yu family, the Minister of Taichang Temple. The Yu family was a family of scholars. From Mr. Yu to Shuhe's brother and sister, they all pursued a career in officialdom.

Now, Mr. Yu is blessed by the emperor and is being raised at home. Lord Yu holds an important position in the Taichang Temple, Yu Xingchuan is in the Inspectorate, and Shuhe's younger brother, like your brother, is studying in the Cangwu Academy and has a bright future.

By marrying into the Yu family, Shuhe's children will surely have a smooth career in the future.

The emperor, mindful of the Fang family's contributions, personally came forward to talk to Lord Yu about this marriage, which had been decided a long time ago.

The marriage between the two families involves His Majesty. What do you think should be done about this matter now?"

After Qu Jin finished speaking, Jiang Yuan didn't understand and frowned, very puzzled, "From what elder sister said, the Fang family is on the verge of decline.

But the Yu family is thriving, so shouldn't it be considered marrying down? Why do they bully Shu He like this?"

The princess sighed, "A Yuan, you can't judge things by appearances."
