Chapter 299 Household Affairs
Buerhe's love for her niece was truly from the heart. On the first day after returning to the palace, she immediately sent her men to look for Yinreng and Hongye.
When they were found, Hongye agreed to let Honghui return home without hesitation. After all, Honghui had been working under Hongye, and some things still needed to be handed over to Hongye.
Yinreng agreed without hesitation and asked Yinzhen to return home from the fields to take care of household affairs. This shows that the royal family was firmly on Minyan's side this time.
However, the matter was not over yet! After giving the order, Bull and began to carefully select from among the maids around them and those they had carefully trained.
After much deliberation, she finally selected two outstanding maids from among the many candidates. The reason for such careful selection was naturally because she knew that her eldest niece seemed tough and calm, but in fact she was just a little girl with a strong appearance but a soft and cute heart.
Actually, this stupidity is not terrible. What is really worrying is the lack of independent thinking and strong execution. Fortunately, Minyan is not completely lacking in these qualities. What she lacks is only the practical experience of inner house fighting.
After all, before this, she had been living in a relatively simple environment. Now, suddenly throwing such a delicate and cute little kitten into a group of tigers full of intrigues, isn't it obviously giving heads to others to gain experience!
Fortunately, Buerhe was thoughtful and sent these two maids specially for the purpose of helping Minyan deal with various complicated and difficult situations in the future, and assisting her to overcome all obstacles and move forward bravely on the battlefield of the inner house.
Although Minyan is like a weak cat at the moment, who can say that she does not have the potential to become a majestic tiger?
Beyond anything else, the unparalleled status of being the wife of a prince's son was enough to make many people feel inadequate and eclipsed. While the concept of "filial piety" weighs as heavily as Mount Tai in this world, easily overwhelming anyone, the Prince and Princess of Prince Yong's mansion are still alive! If anyone dared to use filial piety to suppress others, these concubines would likely not even know the tragic death they would ultimately face.
Yinzhen listened quietly to Su Peisheng's report of the entire incident with a gloomy face. He felt helpless about the women in the harem.
Back when he still lived in the palace, these women's only thoughts were vying for favor and seeking higher status. But now, due to his busy schedule, he often lived in the imperial farm and gardens, working hard in the fields all day long. Unexpectedly, these women did not stop, but instead developed new ideas and plans.
It is true that greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. This statement is absolutely true!
Yinzhen frowned and asked in a cold tone, "Have you found out who is behind this incident? What does she want?"
Su Peisheng hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to hide anything, so he answered honestly: "My lord, after some investigation, I found that this was done by the concubine in the backyard. She secretly instigated the concubine to find a husband for the eldest princess, and tried to take this opportunity to marry the second prince a wife with a prominent family background like the prince's wife..." As for the following words, Su Peisheng felt that as a servant it was not appropriate for him to say more, so he shut up tactfully.
However, at this moment, Yinzhen's face had become increasingly gloomy and ugly, as if a storm was about to come.
He had never longed so much to possess a magical ability - the ability to travel through time and space and go back to more than ten years ago.
At that time, he would not hesitate to give himself two loud slaps in the face for saving the person, and scolded him angrily: "I told you not to meddle in other people's business! I told you to save people because you wanted to!"
Over the years, he had grown extremely disgusted with the Shi family. Back then, Shi's second uncle had committed a serious crime, leading to the massacre of his entire family. Only Shi Wenbing's lineage was spared.
The crime was not committed by a married woman, so he didn't blame Shi for the incident. However, now that he thought about it, he truly regretted not having the heart to be a heartless, ungrateful, and shameless villain. A woman as vicious as Shi was left in the backyard, like a huge disaster waiting to explode at any moment.
He knew his wife's thoughts very well. She must have seen him forgiving Shi time and time again, and mistakenly thought that Shi had other feelings for her, so she couldn't bear to deal with her personally. Therefore, his wife came up with this idea, wanting to use him to get rid of Shi.
Although he could understand Fu Jin's intention, he could not accept this approach anyway. You know, Min Yan was pregnant with Hong Hui's own flesh and blood, that was their eldest grandson!
Just because of such a trivial matter, Fu Jin dared to risk losing her grandson. It was really absurd and incomprehensible.
Not only Yinzhen couldn't understand this situation, even Honghui found it hard to accept what was happening before his eyes. You know, for so many years, he had been following Hongye and had witnessed countless conspiracies and schemes. Even the open and secret struggles in the inner and backyards were more or less known to him.
Unlike his father who knew little about the affairs in the harem, Honghui knew clearly what those women wanted and was well aware of some shady methods.
Today's incident truly baffled him. Originally, he had been concentrating on handling matters related to the salt tax, and progress had been smooth. But suddenly, Hongye had sent someone to urgently recall him, and upon meeting him, he was given a barrage of scolding.
At first, Honghui was completely confused and didn't know what he had done wrong. It was not until he listened to Hongye's lecture to the end that he suddenly realized - it turned out that Minyan was the one who was wronged!
At this moment, Honghui couldn't help but think of the recent events. He had been buried in the salt tax, so busy that he felt dizzy. Every time he returned home, as soon as he learned that Minyan was well, he would fall asleep, completely unaware of anything else.
As for Minyan's aggrieved look, he thought it was because she missed him too much. Looking back now, he thought that Minyan had been bullied in the mansion at that time, but because the other party was her own mother, she was helpless!
When he thought of this, Honghui couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He didn't want to say anything. He just wanted to return to Minyan as soon as possible to accompany her.
The father and son returned home at about the same time, and their goals were very similar. The first thing they did when they returned home was to look for their wives.
When Honghui opened the door, Minyan had already recovered her composure and was eating the white fungus and lotus seed soup served by the maid. The moment she saw Honghui, she felt wronged and her lotus seed soup was directly spilled. She also threw herself into Honghui's arms with her big belly: "Master, you are back."
Then she started sobbing softly, and she didn't stop for a long time.
Seeing that Minyan's originally watery eyes had become slightly red and swollen, and tears seemed to be about to burst out at any time, Honghui's heart suddenly tightened. He hurriedly stretched out his arms, gently picked up Minyan, and walked quickly towards the inner room.
As he walked, he kept coaxing her softly, "Dear, don't feel wronged. I'm back to accompany you. No matter what happens, I'll take care of everything for you later. Yanyan, don't cry, don't cry. Look at your beautiful big eyes, they're starting to get swollen from crying. If you keep crying like this, it won't look good. Besides, our precious son is here right now. If he hears that your eyes are swollen from crying, he'll probably laugh at you in secret!"
Hearing Honghui mention that his eyes were swollen, Minyan instantly became nervous. She quickly poked her head out of Honghui's warm embrace and rushed to the mercury mirror beside the dressing table, carefully examining her face. As Honghui had said, those beautiful eyes were indeed a little swollen. She subconsciously pouted, feeling even more aggrieved.
Seeing this, Honghui was deeply distressed and quickly shouted to the servants outside to quickly fetch the already cooked eggs so that he could personally roll them over Fu Jin's face to reduce the swelling. When the servants hurriedly brought the hot eggs, Honghui carefully picked up the eggs and gently and skillfully rolled them back and forth around Min Yan's red and swollen eyes.
At this moment, Minyan seemed to finally come to her senses. She raised her hand coquettishly and slapped Honghui's arm hard. However, this seemingly fierce blow was actually powerless and more like a manifestation of coquettishness.
Then, Minyan glared at Honghui angrily and asked in feigned anger, "Hmph, Master, you only know how to bully others. Ever since you had a son, you haven't even looked at me straight in the eye! Every day after you come home, you fall asleep right away. Why don't you tell me clearly, who is more important, your son or me?
Hmm? At a time like this, how could a young prince like him, a young prince who was involved in the imperial court, be stumped by this question?
"Then it must be our Yanyan who is important. Nothing is more important than the wife. Our son is not important."
Minyan's eyes began to mist up again: "Are you saying that our son is not important? Do you have a lover outside? Otherwise, why are you starting to dislike our son now?"
Numbness! Shock! Helplessness~
"Yan Yan, I didn't say that. I said the wrong thing. Let me say it again. You are the most important to us, followed by our son, and finally myself." After saying that, he picked up the warm soft handkerchief and gently wiped Min Yan's cheek.
Seeing this, Minyan stopped making a fuss and snuggled into Honghui's arms to enjoy this moment of peace.
