Princess of the auxiliary country

Thinking of this, Zheng Songyuan was completely paralyzed at this time.

How can this be good?

Regardless of how scheming he is, he is still only in his twenties after all. Even though he has seen a lot, his character is still somewhat lacking.

He could deal with some small things in daily life and even slightly bigger things with ease, but what Huo Jinyan and Lu Tingfeng said at this moment was beyond the scope of what he could handle.

After all, if this thing is not handled properly, the Zheng family may suffer heavy losses.

"enough."

Just when Zheng Songyuan was at a loss, a mature female voice came from the Zheng family mansion.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes came slowly.

As soon as she stood still, the middle-aged woman glanced at Zheng Wengong, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.

A flash of distress flashed deep in his eyes, and then he looked away, looking at Huo Jinyan and Lu Tingfeng, bowing slightly and saluting.

"I have met the eldest son of Duke Ji, Lord Lu."

When they saw the person coming, Huo Jinyan and Lu Tingfeng raised their eyebrows slightly. They had never seen this person before, but they still held their hands.

"Mom, why are you out?"

Upon hearing Zheng Songyuan's words, the two people opposite realized that this person's identity turned out to be Zheng Wengong's wife.

"You should step back first, and leave the rest of the matter to my mother."

Hearing this, Zheng Songyuan nodded and stepped aside honestly.

When things got to this point, Zheng Songyuan really didn't know how to continue to deal with it.

"You two, I already know everything about what happened today. My master was the one who made the mistake first, and he should be taught a lesson."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Songyuan immediately became unhappy. Just as he was about to step forward and say something, the middle-aged woman glared back.

Looking at Huo Jinyan, they were slightly surprised when they heard the other party admitting defeat.

They still knew a little about the Zheng family. After all, they all lived in the capital. The Zheng family often relied on being a top noble family to be arrogant and domineering everywhere.

Especially in the court hall, Zheng Wengong often fired map cannons at the nobles of the Yu Dynasty.

It can be said that he is arrogant and annoying. However, the other party has a good background, and the nobles and civil servants have always maintained a consistent attitude towards the nobles. Therefore, even if Zheng Wengong is very arrogant and makes nobles hate him, they can't really do anything to him. .

In the opinion of the two of them, what happened today is that the Zheng family will definitely make a fuss, and it will make a big fuss. This is in line with their long-standing virtues.

But now that this middle-aged woman appears and admits defeat as soon as she opens her mouth, it makes them feel like they have been hit by cotton wool, and many things that follow will be difficult to continue.

"For the kid's slander against Princess Zhaode, the little lady will personally prepare a generous gift and come to apologize in the future. How about ending it today?"

Now that they have talked about it, Huo Jinyan and the two of them have nothing to say.

If a woman is a woman, and her attitude is so low, if she continues to be unforgiving, she will be unreasonable and unforgiving, which will make many people's senses worse, and the gain will not be worth the loss.

"In that case, let's follow what the woman said."

After saying that, Huo Jinyan didn't waste any more words. He cupped his hands towards the middle-aged woman, greeted the person he brought and turned around to leave.

The person arranged by Huo Junyao took off the ropes tied to the horses, led the horses and left with Huo Jinyan and others.

"Why don't you take the master back to the mansion quickly? Then go find the doctor."

A group of people from the Zheng family got busy again, carrying Zheng Wengong, who had lost his human appearance, back to the mansion. "Mom, why did you do this just now? Dad has been made like this by them."

In the courtyard of the Zheng family, Zheng Songyuan was still very angry when he thought of his mother's bowed head just now.

Seeing her son's angry look, the middle-aged woman's face turned very ugly.

"Do you think my mother wants this? There is nothing you can do about it. Do you still want to continue to make trouble with them?"

"If this continues, not only will our Zheng family be more embarrassed, but we will even move towards a greater crisis."

Hearing this, Zheng Songyuan fell silent.

How could he not know about his mother's helpless behavior?

But how could he, who was young and vigorous, endure such injustice?

His father was so humiliated and hurt, but as a son, he couldn't do anything to him. Instead, he had to bow his head and admit defeat, and even let his mother come to apologize?

As a direct descendant of the Zheng family, had he ever suffered such humiliation since childhood?

"Son, temporary gains and losses are not important. Our Zheng family has been passed down for thousands of years. Has nothing like this happened in the past years?"

"A small impatience will ruin a big plan. Don't get distracted by temporary gains and losses. If you lose this time, you can win it back next time."

At this point, a hint of worry flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes.

She saw everything clearly today, and it was precisely because she saw it clearly that she lowered her head so happily.

If it continues, the Zheng family will be in greater trouble. If you bow your head earlier, even though you give in, the harm to the Zheng family will be reduced a lot.

"Mom is right, my son is upset."

"But this time, we can't let it go like this. The matter of the papermaking workshop is not just a matter of my Zheng family. My son is going to visit several other uncles to discuss what to do."

After hearing his words, the middle-aged woman nodded with satisfaction, but her expression did change slightly when she heard that he was going to find several other families.

"There's no need to go. I believe they will come to visit you soon. Let's talk about it then."

She has never had too much trust in the other companies. Although they are allies, that was only when they were competing for interests together, but the situation now is different.

The Zheng family is the one who is ruining everyone's interests, so they still expect help from these so-called allies? It would be fine if they didn't punish them in turn.

"I never thought that Zheng Wengong's wife is actually a smart person."

At the residence of the eldest princess Ningyang, after listening to Huo Jinyan's story, the eldest princess Ningyang spoke in surprise.

Next to him, Duke Ji Guo nodded again and again.

“But it’s a little unexpected.”

"Mom, since things are like this, do we still want to impeach the Zheng family as my little sister said?"

Hearing this, the eldest princess Ningyang pondered for a long time without paying attention. Of course she wanted to impeach her very much, and she was not ignorant of the principle of being harmed instead of dying.

But Mrs. Zheng's posture was so low, but she had already bowed her head to express her intention to apologize. If the impeachment continued as planned, people would gossip about her.

But she was a little unwilling to let such a good opportunity go.

Finally, I could only look at Duke Ji and ask, "Jingzhi, what do you think? Do you want to continue?"

Huo Jingzhi also began to think deeply, and after a long time, he said, "Although we may be criticized if we continue, since we and the Zheng family have reached this unrelenting situation, there is absolutely no need to show mercy."
