After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

The next day, the joke about Prince Rui's mansion spread throughout the capital.

Yan Yu was holding the little boy who was raised in Luo's room at the Shao family.

The little guy is not even two months old. He looks very small, with soft hands and feet, and bubbles coming out of his mouth. He hasn’t been given a name yet, so everyone calls him Xiaowu.

Luo has a kind nature, and nothing in her bones can change.

She let the young master's biological mother live in the same courtyard so that she could look after him.

Zhang smiled and said, "If it were me, I would send the child back to Lingcheng after it was born. With my sister-in-law's temper, she would be bullied to death by someone else. Fortunately, Xiaowu's biological mother is also an honest person and she doesn't cause any trouble all day long."

The child was too young, and Yan Yu had never taken care of a child before, so he was always afraid that he would accidentally drop the child from his arms.

The wet nurse, the maidservants and the servants were standing on both sides, and none of them dared to make a sound.

Yan Yu handed the child to Luo and asked, "Have uncle and aunt heard about this?"

Luo smiled faintly: "The master and the mistress sent a letter last night, asking about the health of the queen and the prince, and also asked you to give Xiaowu a name."

Yan Yu said: "There are so many elders in the family, it is not proper for me to name them, I should let the old lady come up with a name."

Luo thought Yan Yu looked down on the child, so she nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to the old lady later."

Zhang still remembered what Yan Yu liked to eat, so she had someone prepare a variety of snacks and bring them over early in the morning. The few of them talked while eating.

Everyone knew that the Prince of Qin was away on business. This month, Yan Yu was alone in the mansion, and Zhang continued to chat and laugh with her: "I heard from the maid this morning that even the people in the city were making fun of the things happening at the Rui County Prince's Mansion. This time, the Rui County Prince's Mansion has lost all its face!"

Xiao Chengji and Xiao Jiashan have been rivals since childhood.

Now that Xiao Jiashan has just been conferred the title of Prince, his momentum is on the rise again. A few days ago, some people were saying that the Emperor has fallen in love with the Fifth Prince again and wants to treat the Prince of Qin coldly.

As a result, this incident happened in Prince Rui’s Mansion.

Yan Yu was somewhat curious, so he asked Huo Wang to go out and inquire about it.

The news spread so quickly, there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames.

Xiao Chengji was not in the capital, so Yan Yu did not act rashly. He wanted to see who was fanning the flames.

Huo Wang received the errand and hurried out. He went to a restaurant and ordered a plate of meat and a pot of wine. He ate and drank while chatting with others.

"Do you know what happened at the Rui County Prince's Mansion?"

"I know! Who doesn't know this? I heard that when you visit the Rui County Prince's Mansion, the guests are divided into different levels. The royal family members are served with fine wine and delicious meat, while the ministers and generals are served with inferior food. If ordinary people go, they will be swept out with a broom before they even enter the door!"

"People look at your status. If you are not a prince or a marquis, they will give you a bowl of leftovers."

"..."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Many officials serving in the court of this dynasty come from aristocratic families. After all, the resources and connections provided by each aristocratic family are not comparable to those of ordinary people.

But not all aristocratic families can continue for a long time. If their descendants are incompetent or take the wrong position, a prominent family can become half-dead in one or two generations.

The selection of officials in the Wei Dynasty still mainly relied on the imperial examination system. Many of the civil officials in power today came from large families that were once glorious but later declined. Some were even from side branches and became poor families after a few generations.

Children from such families often have the strongest self-esteem and care most about face.

What happened at Prince Rui's Mansion hurt the hearts of these people.

In addition, there are many more scholars from poor families who have never been able to find a good opportunity or a good time to show their talents. When these people are preparing to sell their talents to the imperial family, they will definitely automatically skip the Ruijun Prince's Mansion, which judges people by their family background and status.

Huo Wang inquired about the matter in detail, and finally told Yan Yu everything.

"The news spread from the Seventh Prince's Mansion." Huo Wang said, "The first person to talk about the banquet at the Rui County Prince's Mansion in the restaurant was the godson of Gou'er, the eunuch who served the Seventh Prince. Later, more and more families came out to talk about this matter, and it spread more and more widely."

There were only a few people who went to Prince Rui's Mansion yesterday, and there was an emperor above them, so Xiao Jiashan would not make a big fuss.

Logically, it wouldn't have caused a sensation in the capital, but the servants of each master exaggerated the story and it became more and more outrageous.

This time, Xiao Jiashan completely offended officials at all levels.

No one cared whether the banquet was arranged by Prince Rui or Princess Rui. Anyway, the incident happened in Prince Rui's mansion, so it was all blamed on Prince Rui.

Yan Yu nodded: "Please keep an eye out for more information. Go down first."

Huo Wang kowtowed to the ground, hesitated for a moment and did not stand up.

Yan Yu said calmly: "What's wrong?"

Huo Wang whispered, "My godfather has always wanted to pay his respects to the queen and the prince again. He has served the master for so many years and he is reluctant to leave."

Yan Yu glanced at Huo Wang.

After Huo Ha was driven out by Xiao Chengji last time, under normal circumstances he would definitely not be able to come back.

After so many years in the mansion, Huo Ha had become a little arrogant in his work, and Yan Yu had looked down on him in the past.

Now Huoha was sent to build a mausoleum. He was in an unfamiliar place and was demoted. His life must be difficult and he might even have to do heavy work.

Yan Yu smiled slightly: "Huoha is old, and the prince sent him out to give him a quiet and leisurely job. Since he wants to come back, let him come back. The mansion is not short of manpower for the time being, so why not let him do some odd jobs outside, run errands and inquire about things."

Huo Wang breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed twice: "Thank you, Princess."

Within a day, Huo Ha was brought to Yan Yu.

The man who was so tall and fat before suddenly became thinner and looked almost ten years older. He knelt on the ground after seeing Yan Yu.

Yan Yu lowered his eyes slightly and looked at him, then tried to probe him with a few words, trying to see if he had any resentment in his heart.

Huo Ha really didn't dare to complain. He had no other way to survive. In this world, what other options did they have? He could only pray for some grace from above.

During the days he was sent out, those people who looked down on others thought that Huoha would never come back to the capital, so they bullied and humiliated him and made him do all kinds of heavy work.

Huoha finally understood that whether they were in heaven or on earth was just a matter of a word from their master.

Yan Yu does have a lot of people under him, but sometimes, out of a hundred people, there is not even one who can take on responsibilities, and there are very few who are good in all aspects.

After receiving this punishment, Huoha became much more honest. He no longer dared to be so arrogant, and he didn't dare to think of himself as something important.

Yan Yu made some arrangements for Huo Ha. Having stayed in and outside the palace for so many years, Huo Ha had many connections and some skills. He had more face when traveling outside than Huo Wang and could get more information.
