When Rong Qingqing found out that something was wrong with the store, she went to complain to the old lady, and Xu also brought up the matter.

"My sister-in-law is still too young. She got scared when someone said something loud. She went to apologize to those who were poisoned one by one, but it was useless. If it was useful, why was there no one in the restaurant?"

"If this matter fell into my hands, I would arrest the shopkeeper and the clerk and torture them one by one. The problem is definitely with them!"

The old lady didn't ask: "Since Ranran is the housekeeper, I believe she can handle it, so don't worry."

After hearing this, Rong Qingqing and Xu were both angry that the old lady was too biased towards Shen Yiran.

"I don't know how Shen Yiran made the old lady favor her like this?"

Rong Qingqing had just returned and didn't know what had happened before, so she looked at Xu sideways, with a look in her eyes that showed that Xu was useless.

Xu immediately defended herself: "It was the old lady who coaxed me to have a child, and I let go for the sake of this child. Who knew this little bitch was so powerful!"

Rong Qingqing sighed and said yin-yangly, "Didn't you say this plan was foolproof? But they easily resolved it."

Xu frowned and said angrily: "I just made a suggestion, but you are the one who carried it out. The key is why you chose the herb of heartbreak when you poisoned, and Shen Yiran found out right away!"

Rong Qingqing said angrily: "I only use this heartbreak grass because it is scarce. Otherwise, would I use a laxative? Wouldn't it be discovered immediately? You didn't tell me that Shen Yiran knows pharmacology!"

Qiu Wen watched Xu get angry and quickly came up to comfort her: "The Third Madam was hiding it on purpose, how could my Madam know? I asked around, and people in the mansion said that although she said that, she never showed it, and no one took it seriously."

Rong Qingqing also lost her temper and sat down in disappointment: "But we should have guessed it. Isn't her mother a doctor?"

This time, both of them admitted that they had no plan, so they started to think of other ways.

"I heard that she opened a medicine shop in the mountains. The medicinal herbs she grows now are not on the market yet, but she spent a lot of money on it. Why don't we start from there?"

Xu was somewhat gloomy about the mountain and shook her head, saying, "Not good. I think we should focus on the most profitable calligraphy and painting shop at the moment."

The two couldn't coordinate and decided to do it separately.

Shen Yiran was also on guard. Knowing that Rong Qingqing and Xu would have a backup plan, he had someone keep an eye on them.

Rong Qingqing returned to Songfeng Tower and waited for Bo Jinjue to come back to the mansion, then she suggested: "My dear, we haven't gone out to play since we came to Kyoto, why don't we go out for a walk tomorrow?"

Bo Jinjue never thought that this time his efforts were in vain and useless, but it allowed Bo Jinnian to perform well in front of His Majesty and he was even more valued.

Moreover, Marquis Yongyi was also suspected by His Majesty, and was denied an audience with him.

After the final examination, his position as chief clerk had not been assigned yet, so he was awkwardly doing the finishing work. But now that it was done, which government office should he go to work for?

Just when he was feeling frustrated because he had no way to vent his anger, he heard Rong Qingqing's words and thought about it. He decided to take this opportunity to win over Fang Yonghao and ask him to help plead for mercy.

"Okay, just get ready. I invite the prince to go with me."

Rong Qingqing was extremely surprised when she heard this.

You have to know that the Crown Prince's Consort is the legitimate daughter of Marquis Yu, how noble is her status? If Rong Qingqing can establish a good relationship with the Crown Prince's Consort, she can enter the circle of Kyoto ladies.

Unable to conceal her happiness, she immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess just got married, wouldn't it be good for us to invite them first? Then I have to prepare well!"

They had an appointment to go boating the next day, so Rong Qingqing got up an hour earlier to prepare her face and get dressed. She picked and chose her clothes, but in the end, as she ran out of time, she could only pick one at random. She regretted it all the way.

Bo Jinjue was calm and composed. He didn't care about his wife's fear, but he didn't blame her either. Not everyone could be as magnanimous as he was.

Fang Yonghao still gave Bo Jinjue a lot of face. In his eyes, Bo Jinjue was a very reliable person who could give him advice.

The Crown Prince's Consort Yu Xuefu is innocent and gentle, a typical lady from a noble family. She was naturally happy to follow Fang Yonghao out.

However, when he heard Fang Yonghao introduce Bo Jinjue and Rong Qingqing, he received them very gracefully and did not reveal any flaws in etiquette.

Rong Qingqing was very attentive, and Yu Xuefu also thought Rong Qingqing was very romantic and cute, so the two of them formed a close relationship and went hiking hand in hand.

After Yu Xuefu left, Bo Jinjue poured wine for Fang Yonghao, but Fang Yonghao leaned back on the grass and sighed deeply.

"Your Highness, are you dissatisfied with anything during your wedding?"

Fang Yonghao turned over and smacked his lips, saying, "Hey, it was me who said that. Although she's a newcomer, I think she's pretty good, but it's a bit boring if she's like that every night."

Bo Jinjue felt a little uncomfortable when Fang Yonghao told him about his private affairs in bed, but he still responded: "This requires adjustment."

Fang Yonghao immediately turned over and sat up, and said to Bo Jinjue: "You have been told that there is a new courtesan in Wanhua Tower recently, and I heard that you need gold to see her. Aren't you curious, brother?"

Bo Jinjue advised, "If you want to go out and play, you should wait until you return home in a few days."

Fang Yonghao's eyes flickered immediately: "So, brother is willing to help me?"

Bo Jinjue stared at Fang Yonghao cautiously: "Your Highness is a handsome man with a noble status. What woman can't he win?"

"Don't mention it. The Oiran likes people with talents. They can play the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, musical instruments, singing, or dancing. As long as he can catch her eye in any of these, she will have a chance to see him."

"I'm not in the mood for that lately."

Fang Yonghao knew that Bo Jinjue was going to state the conditions, so he immediately asked, "As long as I can help, just tell me, brother!"

Bo Jinjue pursed his lips slightly and said, "I used to be the chief clerk in charge of the martial arts exam. Now that the exam is over, I don't know what to do next."

When Fang Yonghao heard this, he immediately pledged that he would definitely help Bo Jinjue solve this problem.

"Don't worry, if my father doesn't listen, I have a father-in-law who is also a marquis, and I promise to help you!"

Bo Jinjue put down the cup with a smile: "When do you plan to go, my lord?"

"Today is the best. I think your wife and Xuefu are doing well. Let them go play together. Let's go play our own games!"

Bo Jinjue lowered his head and thought for a while. For the sake of his own future, he nodded without caring whether it was appropriate or not.

When Rong Qingqing and Yu Xuefu came back, Fang Yonghao pulled Bo Jinnian and said, "We two brothers have made an appointment with other brothers to drink. Why don't you go back earlier?"

Xue Fu was a little suspicious when she heard this. As a newlywed, she naturally wanted her husband to be by her side every day, but it was difficult to stop him, so she could only say, "Drink less, it's bad for your health."
