After entering the wrong bridal chamber, I went to farm with the powerful minister

Fu Jiang said, "The young master is busy with Miss Nan Yao's divorce and the matter of getting back her dowry, so he is not at home today."

Yan Funing nodded: "I'll go to Chengwen Building to wait for him. Please tell him that I have something to say to him."

It’s not convenient to meet at the Duke’s Mansion.

It is not very convenient to meet somewhere else. If we are seen by someone with ulterior motives, they will probably make a fuss about it.

"Yes, ma'am."

Yan Funing added: "Tell him to take his time, I will wait until the restaurant closes."

Fu Jiang said he was leaving.

When I returned to the Fu Mansion, my master had not returned as expected.

He then went to the Dong family, only to find out that his own master had asked the Jingzhao Prefecture to intervene in the divorce and had summoned the Dong family to the government office.

When he arrived at the government office, the prefect was mediating: "The Dong and Fu families are both prominent families in the capital. We can make money in harmony, get married happily, and separate in peace. This is very good."

Mrs. Dong snorted, "We're about to get divorced, why should we be so amicable?"

Fu Ciyi's cold eyes passed over Madam Dong and swept towards Dong Kuang: "The emperor said that in addition to taking back all the dowry, the Dong family will pay 10,000 taels. I came to Jingzhao Prefecture today to ask the prefect to be a witness."

After saying that, he took out a divorce agreement that had been signed by Fu Nanyao.

"Dong Kuang, please sign."

The sound is extremely cold.

How could Dong Kuang dare to disobey the emperor's will? He took the divorce letter, read it carefully, and picked up the pen to sign.

"A Kuang." Mrs. Dong called out.

Dong Kuang shook his head.

The matter of divorce passed through Jingzhao Prefecture. If he offended Fu Ciyi in the slightest, this man would definitely expose his affair with Cai Mushi immediately.

If the emperor had not specifically mentioned it, the matter between him and Cai Mushi would have been handled by the Dong and Cai families, which would have been considered as maintaining the face of the court officials.

Otherwise, the whole city would be in uproar by now.

He doesn't care, it would be best if he could marry Mu Shi.

But a woman's reputation is important, so he naturally has to protect her.

Fu Ciyi took back the divorce letter and glanced at it calmly: "Please ask the prefect to help stamp it with the seal of Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Yes, as a witness, I shall stamp my seal and make the final judgment."

After saying this, the prefect took out the official seal.

Taking this opportunity, Fu Jiang walked to Fu Ciyi's side and whispered, "Young Madam wants to see the Master."

Fu Ciyi thought that he had to go to Dong's house and had no time to leave.

Besides, he didn't want to see her.

So he said to Fu Jiang: "No."

Fu Jiang closed his mouth.

Soon, the group went to Dong's house.

Fu Ciyi ordered everyone to look for the dowry list. After a long search, the Fu family finally found half of it through Liu Lu in the room where Fu Nanyao had lived.

"Sir, there is only half left."

"It doesn't matter."

Fu Ciyi checked the remaining half with the newly prepared list, and in front of the Dong family, he ordered people to move out Fu Nanyao's dowry one by one and count them.

Although the dowry was not much, it was put together like this, and the Dong family deliberately hid valuables.

In this way, the inventory was not completed until sunset.

Mrs. Dong was heartbroken as she watched helplessly as all the dowry was carried out of the Dong family's home.

After hearing Fu Ciyi say to Dong Kuang, "Do you want to pay in banknotes or cash for the 10,000 taels?"

She nearly fainted.

Dong Kuang said: "Part of it is banknotes, and part of it is cash."

He doesn't have that much money.

I asked my family for some money yesterday and got scolded by my father.

Soon, the ten thousand taels were counted, and the Fu family left with Fu Nanyao's clothes, dowry and compensation.

On the way back to the mansion, when there was no one else in the car, Fu Jiang said softly, "Sir, the young lady is waiting for you at Chengwenlou. She said she will wait until the restaurant closes."

"No." Fu Ciyi said indifferently.

"From now on, you are not allowed to call her Young Madam."

Fu Jiang was stunned: "Yes, sir."
-
Hot day.

Even if there is wind at night, it is hot wind.

Although people generally have a poor appetite in summer, the cold dishes and iced desserts offered by Chengwenlou are quite popular, so business is still good.

Yan Funing went back and forth between the counter and the restaurant entrance dozens of times, but he didn't come.

Seeing this, Liu Song lowered his voice and asked, "My daughter, are you waiting for someone?"

Yan Funing nodded.

"Just now I heard from a guest that Nan Yao and the young master of the Dong family got divorced today, and many people saw the dowry being transported back to the Fu Mansion. How is Nan Yao's legs and feet now?"

As soon as Liu Song asked, he heard a guest in the hall shouting, "Have you heard of a wonderful thing?"

"What's the wonderful thing?" someone asked immediately.

"Prime Minister Cai's legitimate daughter and Minister Dong's legitimate son are having an affair." The man covered his lips and spoke in a low voice, "It is said that the two were caught in the act while making love in bed."

The words were spoken softly, but the guests present all wanted to hear the gossip, and it was so quiet that almost everyone could hear it.

Someone immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. Isn't Prime Minister Cai's legitimate daughter betrothed to the new number one scholar?"

Some people also said: "Ms. Cai is such an elegant person, she would never do such a thing."

Some people even advised: "Yes, if you talk nonsense like that, you might get beheaded."

"I didn't make this up. Many people have been spreading it." The man's voice gradually became louder. "The emperor has withdrawn his decree of marriage. This is the first time in Dajing in hundreds of years. Think about it, if it weren't for this kind of thing, how could the imperial decree of marriage be withdrawn just like that?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present nodded one after another.

"It makes some sense."

"I was just wondering why Miss Fu and Mr. Dong got divorced. I think this is the reason."

As a result, the discussion became more lively.

Everyone has a gossipy heart, and Liu Song is no exception.

He whispered to Yan Funing, "My dear, is what the guest said true?"

Yan Funing nodded slightly.

Liu Song said happily: "Then my girl and Master Fu are going to reconcile?"

"uncle……"

Yan Funing was suddenly speechless.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Liu Song quickly called He, and the couple took her to the backyard.

He Shi waved a palm-leaf fan to fan Yan Funing: "My daughter, why are you unhappy? Tell your uncle and aunt."

"The Queen Mother has granted me marriage to Prince Chi. From now on, I really have no relationship with Master Fu. Uncle and aunt, please be careful with your words and actions when you see Master Fu in the future."

"What's going on?" Liu Song was puzzled. "My girl, you are the daughter of the Duke's Mansion!"

Yan Funing smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, it is only today that I know that the daughters of noble families cannot decide their own marriages."

Neither her parents could help her make the decision, let alone she herself.

This era is different from the modern era after all.

Liu Song guessed, "The person my daughter is waiting for today is Master Fu."

"Well, I wanted to talk to him, but he didn't seem to want to see me."

He said softly, "Prince Chi is a kind person, he should be a good husband."

"That being said, it also depends on whether our daughter likes it." Liu Song suddenly raised his voice.

Yan Funing smiled.

On one hand, the Queen Mother arranged the marriage, and on the other hand, she had to cover up the Yan family's crimes. She felt so helpless and had no one to confide in.

After chatting for a while, the three returned to the front yard of the restaurant.

Until closing time, no one from the Fu family came, let alone Fu Ciyi.

Liu Song deliberately delayed the closing time by half an hour, moved a small stool and sat in front of the restaurant, looking at the few pedestrians on the road.

In the hope of helping my daughter find Fu Ciyi. (End of this chapter)
