"Why should I go back?"

"Jiang Ming'an ignored me, the mistress of the house, and held a family recognition banquet. He didn't even bring that girl to the Cheng Palace to pay a visit. Does he take our Cheng Palace seriously?"

"That girl caused unrest in the mansion as soon as she came back, and she didn't even apologize to me as her mother. Does she even have me as her mother?"

Princess Kangning felt aggrieved and took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears with a choked voice.

Jiang Yingxue was standing behind Princess Kangning. Seeing this, she also pressed her eyes with a handkerchief and bit her lip with a look of grievance.

He did not forget to persuade in a soft voice: "Mother, how about... we go back and be humble so that father and sister won't be angry anymore."

"No! Why should we give in? They are the ones who should admit their mistakes!" Princess Corning said angrily with a stubborn look on her face.

Princess Cheng sat aside, sighing and looking at Prince Cheng helplessly.

They had just learned that the emperor had given the child a courtyard plaque inscribed with his own calligraphy, and that the empress had also sent generous gifts.

The three older princes are even more...

This kind of honor and favor from the palace is something that even their Prince Cheng’s Mansion has never had, let alone a small marquis’s mansion?

They were all royal relatives, so they naturally understood that this honor was not given to the Yong'an Marquisate, but to the child.

Prince Cheng also said today what he had not originally said when he returned home.

About ten years ago, he saw the little Taoist boy that the emperor always brought with him in the court. That boy was Yuntang.

The young Taoist priest whom they once thought had returned from a dilapidated Taoist temple in the mountains had actually already stood in a position that they could only envy ten years ago.

Is it too late to go to the Marquis' Mansion now?

What do others think of the change in attitude of Prince Cheng’s Palace?

Is it because of the support of the Emperor, Empress and princes that the Prince Cheng’s Palace bowed their heads and showed weakness?

Where is the face of Prince Cheng’s Mansion?

But...if they don't go, the emperor will definitely blame them as the maternal family for not giving the child kindness and respect.

Prince Cheng was still thinking about it and had not made up his mind yet, and he did not want to lose face when his second son, Prince Chenghe, came hurried back.

"Father, many families outside who didn't go originally have sent gifts to the Marquis' Mansion!"

"Some came directly to our door, and some sent their butlers to deliver gifts. The people I sent out to keep an eye on them have come back with reports twice in succession. I'm afraid there will be quite a few more people going over now."

Prince Chenghe hurriedly told the news reported by the servant, not even bothering to look at his sister's ugly face and reminded her worriedly.

"Father, everyone else has made their choice. If we still don't make a statement, it will be too embarrassing. This infamy..."

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Princess Kangning, and said aggrievedly: "I'm not worried!"

"What a shame! What have you been burdened with?"

When Princess Kangning heard this, she immediately became like an angry cat with its fur standing on end, and she scolded with her eyes wide open.

"Is there no bad reputation?" Prince Chenghe was also annoyed and retorted loudly, "Second sister, why don't you go out of the palace and listen to the voices outside?"

"The gossip outside was about how Princess Kangning could be so rude to her own daughter."

"Today, the discussion outside has turned into: Is this Princess Kangning probably grudge against her own daughter?"

"Some people are betting on whether our Prince Cheng's Mansion will go to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion!"

After hearing the last sentence, Prince Chenghe's angry voice became two notches higher, and then he looked at Prince Cheng.

"Father! Yuntang is just a thirteen-year-old girl. The Marquis' Mansion sent people to find her. Why did they treat her like this after she came back?"

Speaking of this, Prince Chenghe became so angry that he glanced coldly at the aggrieved Jiang Yingxue.

Regardless of whether she is a real or fake daughter, she is a daughter of a marquisate, and has been brought up as a royal lady since she was young. But...

It is so shameful to bully a sister who has just returned home in such a despicable way. It is a trick that is not worthy of being shown to anyone.

What’s funny is that the mother doesn’t think about disciplining and restraining her child, but instead blames the person being bullied for making things worse.

She ran back to Prince Cheng's Mansion in anger instead of returning to her husband's home. She didn't even show up at such a big event as the family recognition banquet today. She is really making things worse, okay!

It also put Prince Cheng's Mansion in a difficult position, with no way out!

There was no telling how many people were outside placing bets and waiting to see the Cheng Palace make a fool of itself!

Prince Chenghe sat down on a chair beside him angrily, turned his head away and didn't want to pay any attention to this domineering and bad-tempered sister.

At the same time, he also blamed his father and mother, saying that it was they who caused his bad habits!

Seeing that Prince Cheng remained silent and Kang Ning was stubborn and unwilling to show weakness, Princess Cheng sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, we must make a decision on this matter. If we delay any longer, the Marquis' Mansion will hold a banquet."

"Let's not talk about who is right and who has lost face. If we don't respond to this matter, our Chengwang Mansion will really have no way out."

"Kang Ning can't possibly never return to the Marquis' Mansion, right? Why make such a fuss that there is no room for maneuver? If the Emperor Ming'er asks about it..."

This is the crux of the problem.

That girl has the emperor as her strong backer. The attitudes of the emperor, empress and three princes today are obvious support. Who can't see it?

"Mother, are you going to let me go back in disgrace?" Princess Kangning hadn't wiped away her tears yet, and she looked at Princess Cheng aggrievedly when she heard that.

Princess Cheng rarely showed displeasure. She looked at her disappointing daughter and scolded her, "You've already given birth to four children, and you haven't grown up yet?"

"In Prince Cheng's Mansion, you are the precious daughter of your father, the king and your mother; in the Marquis' Mansion, you are the respected princess and the mistress of the house; in the capital, you are also a glorious member of the royal family!"

"But don't forget, there is the Emperor and the Empress above you! You only care about your grievances, but do you still care about the dignity of the royal family?!"

"You want Prince Cheng's Mansion to be reprimanded by the Emperor, laughed at by other noble families in the capital, and laughed at by the common people, will you be satisfied?"

Princess Cheng has always been gentle and kind. She has never spoken loudly to her children, let alone spoken so harshly to her beloved daughter.

Princess Kangning was also frightened and didn't say a word for a while.

Prince Cheng spoke at this time, looking at his daughter with a serious face.

"You and Xue'er go back and pack up quickly, and go back to the Marquis' Mansion later!"

"When it's time to fulfill your duties as the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, stop throwing tantrums. It makes the guests laugh at you and makes the people raised in my Chengwang Mansion look petty!"

Prince Cheng spoke these last words with extraordinary seriousness.

County Lord Corning opened his mouth, then pursed his lips and responded with a look of grievance, not daring to make any more trouble.

My mother was already angry just now. If I make my father angry again, no one will support her in the future.

When Prince Cheng saw that she had calmed down and was no longer making a fuss, he looked at Princess Cheng and said, "Hurry up and prepare some generous gifts, and have Nanqi send them on behalf of Prince Cheng's Palace."

As for him and his old wife, they didn't go.
