After binding the mistress system, raise cubs and train husbands in the mansion

"Please tell me clearly, Madam Xu."

Seeing that she seemed to be ignorant of the matter, Madam Xu told her in detail what had happened today.

"So that's it." Yun Zhihan suddenly realized, but he was just pretending on his face, with no ripples in his heart.

"County Lady, I beg you, please go to the palace and ask the Emperor to withdraw the imperial decree. The Xu family will be grateful!"

Haha! Are you grateful? The Xu family is probably just crossing the river and then destroying the bridge.

"Madam Xu, stop talking nonsense! The imperial edict is like the emperor himself. Do you think the Xu family will disobey the order?"

"I know that the imperial decree cannot be followed, but my daughter's marriage..."

Halfway through her words, she covered her face and cried, trying to win Mrs. Xie's sympathy.

But Yun Zhihan just said calmly, "Madam Xu, you are wrong. The emperor's granting of marriage must be the result of careful consideration. How can women like you and me guess it?"

"The county lady means that she doesn't want to help?"

"Madam Xu, what do you want me to do for you? This is an imperial decree. How can it be changed by asking for favors? I advise Madam Xu to prepare for your daughter's marriage and not to upset the emperor again."

"Otherwise, it won't just be your daughter who will be implicated, but the entire Xu Mansion."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Xu came to her senses and felt that the county lady was right. If she continued to make trouble, the Xu family would probably suffer.

Yun Zhihan didn't argue any further and just asked the guest to leave.

Just after seeing Mrs. Xu off, Bai Yuan came back from outside.

"Mother! I heard that the Xu family and the Yang family are getting married. Is it related to my brother's marriage?"

"It doesn't matter. The Xu family was promoted by Prime Minister Liu, and they have long been on the opposite side of the Xie family. It's only a matter of time before they fall out."

Bai Yuan nodded. After all, he had already offended the Minister of Internal Affairs at the thank-you banquet.

"By the way, is there any news from Prince Fenyang?"

"Yes, I will be returning to the capital in a few days. The prince revealed that the private army in his fiefdom has grown to a considerable size."

"Well, when you go to see the Crown Prince tomorrow, remember to remind His Highness to be careful of Prime Minister Liu."

"Prime Minister Liu?" Bai Yuan was extremely puzzled. "What does this have to do with him? Isn't he a supporter of the Fifth Prince?"

Yun Zhihan didn't want to explain so much. She just needed to arouse the prince's suspicion, and the prince would handle everything.

"You just need to remind the prince that Prince Fenyang seems to have some connection with Concubine Liu."

Bai Yuan wanted to ask for more details, but he suppressed his curiosity. He believed that his mother must have her reasons for saying so.

"Son, I understand. I will go to the prince as soon as the court is over tomorrow."

……

The next day after court, Xie Boyuan did not bother to look for the eldest princess and went straight to the East Palace.

"Minister Xie, why didn't you go to see my elder sister today, but came to me first?"

"Your Highness, please dismiss your attendants. I have something important to report."

The prince gave a look to the young eunuch next to him, and the servants in the hall quickly evacuated, leaving only Murong Yan and Xie Baiyuan.

"Is it about Prince Fenyang?"

"That's right, Your Highness. Please send someone to keep an eye on Prime Minister Liu. He is quite suspicious."

"Prime Minister Liu?" Murong Yan frowned, "How did Minister Xie know this?"

"My mother asked me to remind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this matter. She said that if His Royal Highness doesn't believe it, he can check the past of Prince Fenyang and Concubine Liu."

"Since this matter concerns the reputation of the emperor, I dare not make any rash judgments. I hope the prince will examine it carefully!"

For the prince, this news was undoubtedly heavy. Could it be that Prince Fenyang had an affair with Concubine Liu? This was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and it was a capital crime punishable by death for all nine generations of the family.

"Minister Xie just said that it was the county lady who said that?"

"Yes!"

"Come with me to the Xie family. I want to ask the county lady in person."

"Please come in, Prince!" Mother was already waiting in the mansion.

Murong Yan did not dare to hesitate for a moment, as this was related to his father's reputation. Once it was confirmed, there would be no Liu family anymore.

Yun Zhihan knew that given the prince's suspicious nature, he would definitely come to ask in person, so she had prepared her excuses.

"Madam, the Crown Prince and the eldest young master are here." Jin Shang came over in a panic and passed on the message, "They look very anxious."

"Got it. Go to Baijin's room and ask Ayue to keep an eye on the two of them. Don't let them leave the room."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Jinshang actually didn't understand why every time the prince came, the lady would lock up her cousin and the eldest daughter in the house, as if the two of them were afraid to see the light of day.

However, she never asked too many questions. After all, the eldest lady was not happy to see the prince.

Yun Zhihan quickly walked to the study.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be polite, County Lord."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"County Lady, do you know the purpose of my visit?"

"I believe Minister Xie has already reminded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yun Zhihan did not beat around the bush.

"The county lady is smart. I like chatting with smart people like you."

"Your Highness is overly complimentary."

"Then I will get straight to the point. How did the county lady know about the emperor's uncle and the concubines in the palace?"

"Your Highness, do you remember the dungeon incident?"

"This is natural. Could it be related to Deadpool?"

"Yes!" Yun Zhihan whispered, "My daughter and I were almost raped by a deadpool on the way to the dungeon. Fortunately, we were rescued by a woman."

"While chatting with this person, I accidentally learned that this woman was the illegitimate daughter of Prince Fenyang. After returning home, I checked the prince's past and found that he had had dealings with Concubine Liu."

"But there is no evidence and no witnesses, so I dare not say anything and put the matter aside. But when Minister Xie told me yesterday that Prince Fenyang was going back to the capital, I thought it would be better to be cautious."

"Where is that woman now?" Murong Yan asked.

"She has been imprisoned in the dungeon by Deadpool and beaten to death. I wanted to save her, but..."

As he spoke, Yun Zhihan concealed his sadness, and there was a hint of crying in his voice.

But when Xie Boyuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel terrified. His mother and sister were almost ruined. Fortunately, they had someone to help them.

However, he suddenly had a bold guess, this woman could be...

No, no, no! Don’t let your imagination run wild.

He calmed himself down and came to his senses immediately.

Murong Yan would not feel sad for the woman's death, but he would regret losing a handle.

"Don't blame yourself, County Lady. Life and death are determined by fate. You have done your best."

Yun Zhihan nodded. She would not let anyone know Yun Yan’s life experience. This secret would remain with her until her death.

Murong Yan continued to ask, "The county lady suspects Prime Minister Liu, because she thinks the emperor's uncle will use this to threaten the Liu family?"

"Exactly!"

"Okay, I will send someone to keep an eye on the Liu family immediately."

"The prince is wise!"

"Don't worry, County Lady. I have seen the Xie family's loyalty to the court. Your family's title will surely be hereditary for a hundred years."

"With these words from the Crown Prince, my life is not in vain."

"You are too kind, County Lady. If you hadn't repeatedly asked Minister Xie and Guard Xie to remind my father and me, the court might have changed a lot."
