Chapter 660 Enemies meet on a narrow road
Yu Liang nodded excitedly: "This old slave will definitely follow you loyally, sir."

Fu Ciyi said "hmm".

"I know who else went to the Cai family today. Sir, do you want me to punish them?"

"Just be patient." Fu Ciyi warned calmly.

Until he has produced evidence to impeach Cai Tingzhou, no servant in the mansion can move.

Fu Beimo ran in, sent Yu Liang away, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, everyone says that sister-in-law is going to become the princess of a county, but mother and Yuanlian don't know yet. They just asked when sister-in-law would come to see them. How long do you plan to keep it a secret from them?"

"Help me keep it secret for now."

The Cai family at this moment.

Upon learning that his daughter had sent out thugs, Cai Tingzhou called his daughter over.

"Yan Funing is Yan Cheng's daughter, and now she is the future princess. If anything happens to her, you will be the first person to be suspected. Mu Shi, you are usually smart, why are you so confused now?"

After all, Yan Cheng, this old fox, is not someone you can easily mess with.

Cai Mushi said: "Dad, I have already asked someone to call him back."

Now her affair with Dong Kuang has become a topic of conversation among people after dinner. Whenever she thought of this, she felt extremely hateful and hated Yan Funing.

She felt better today when she learned that Fu Ciyi had broken up with her.

Cai Tingzhou nodded, then thought that Fu Ciyi could not be used by him, so he had no choice but to dismiss him.

But now Fu Ciyi successfully rejected the marriage proposal because of Mu Shi and Dong Kuang's affair, which prevented him from openly dealing with him in the officialdom.

If you can't deal with it openly, then do it secretly.

After sending his daughter away, Cai Tingzhou sought out his confidants.

"Find an unrelated minor official and have him give Fu Ciyi a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and do it in a way that is flawless. If he accepts it, accuse him of accepting a bribe."

The confidant immediately understood: "What Prime Minister Cai means is that if a young cabinet minister is found guilty of such a crime, he will never be reused in the future?"

"That's exactly what I mean." Cai Tingzhou smiled.

If Fu Ciyi looked down on Cai Mushi, it was because his ex-wife was very beautiful.

When it comes to wealth, whether it looks good or not is secondary. What matters is whether it is valuable or not.

East Third Street.

Yan Funing and Liu Chengwen wrote a lot of recruitment notices. Just as they finished writing, a servant from the Yan family came over.

"Second Miss, Prince Chi has come to the Duke's Mansion. The old lady and the lady ask you to return home."

"I understand." Yan Funing said in a light voice.

Long Chi'an came whenever he wanted, but she didn't really want to see him.

Old Madam Yan was her step-grandmother, and she was the one who had taken the initiative to agree to the marriage for her. She didn't want to hear the old woman asking her to return home.

But since her mother had given the order, she would go back.

She never expected that when she returned to the Duke's Mansion, the servants would lead her to the East Garden.

"The old lady said that the second young lady has not paid her respects to her since she was recognized. Please go to the old lady first."

Yan Funing's brows slightly moved when she heard this, but she still followed the servant to the East Garden.

Old Madam Yan is her nominal grandmother, and she should pay her respects to her as it is a matter of etiquette.

In that case, it wouldn't hurt for her to go.

When they arrived at the East Garden Hall, Yan Funing found that Old Madam Yan was sitting in the main seat, and Yan Yan'er was standing beside her serving her.

A young man and woman sat on each side below.

She had met them before, namely her fourth brother and his wife, and her fifth brother and his wife.

Yan Jun said, "Second sister is busy with business, but she must not forget to pay respects to grandma. If she doesn't pay respects once, it will be unacceptable."

"Fourth brother is right." Yan Funing smiled faintly.

"But I am a person who can clearly distinguish between what I hate and what I hate. Thinking back to the day when we argued about who was real between me and Yan Yan'er, grandma was wholeheartedly on Yan Yan'er's side. Even if I wanted to come and pay my respects, I am afraid that grandma would dislike me, so it is better not to come to the East Garden and get in the way."

Her parents did not ask her to pay her respects to the old woman, and her three brothers and eldest sister-in-law rarely went to pay their respects to the old woman, so she naturally followed the same practice as her brothers and sisters-in-law.

Everyone present looked unhappy when they heard what she said.

The fourth young master's wife said, "Maybe he grew up in the countryside, so he doesn't know the etiquette."

The Fifth Young Master's wife said, "We are busy with business now. There are so many noble ladies in the capital. Which daughter would be so out in the open to make money? People who don't know would think that our Duke's Mansion is struggling to make ends meet." Her words were full of sarcasm, but Yan Funing turned a deaf ear to them.

He briefly greeted Madam Yan who was sitting at the main seat and asked, "Grandma, what can I do for you?"

Madam Yan did not let her sit down either, and only said, "Grandma knows that you do not want to marry Prince Chi, but I have promised the Queen Mother. Before you were recognized, the second daughter of our Yan family has always been Yan'er. In this case, Grandma has a way to satisfy both parties, which is to let Yan'er marry Prince Chi instead of you."

Yan Yan'er was delighted to hear this. Her grandmother finally helped her to make things clear.

Yan Funing smiled faintly and said, "Grandmother, do you want the Duke's Mansion to be charged with disobeying the order?"

Old Madam Yan choked and was speechless.

"There are guests in Nanyuan." Yan Funing said, then turned and left.

Yan Yan'er was so angry that she was about to explode: "Brother Chi treats you so well, and you are still reluctant."

Yan Funing stopped walking but didn't turn her head back: "I have always been the second young lady of the Yan family. Yan Yan'er is just a fake. Even when I was away from home for sixteen years, I was still the second young lady of the Yan family."

The meaning is powerful.

Suddenly, there was a burst of crisp applause.

Long Chi'an smiled and said, "Well said!"

Seeing this, Yan Yan'er lifted her skirt and ran towards him in a pretentious manner, shouting softly in a low voice: "Brother Chi, you're here?"

Long Chi'an ignored her and looked at Yan Fu Ning: "Fu Ning, can you come to my house today?"

Yan Funing wanted to irritate the group of people behind her, so she smiled and said, "Go."

The two of them walked side by side, and Yan Yan'er was really furious.

The faces of the people sitting in the hall did not look very good either.

It was almost noon and the weather was hot, so Hong Qingyi asked Long Chi'an to have lunch in Nanyuan. She allowed her daughter to go to Shi's house only when the temperature dropped in the afternoon.

Yan Funing called Yan Bojian: "Third brother, please accompany me."

Yan Bojian naturally agreed.

The three of them got on the carriage and left the Duke's Mansion.

Halfway through the journey, Yan Funing exclaimed, "I can't go empty-handed."

Yan Bojian asked, "Sister, do you mean to prepare a gift?"

Long Chi'an said quickly: "No need for formalities, just go."

Yan Funing smiled and said, "Just buy some fruit and cakes along the street."

This is the most basic courtesy when visiting someone's home.

After finding a pastry shop that she often visited, Yan Funing asked the car to stop.

But unexpectedly, as soon as I got off the car, I saw a familiar and annoying figure in the shop.

Fu Ciyi was helping Fu Jiang choose cakes: "What did she usually buy before?"

Fu Jiang frowned: "It was mainly for Madam and Miss Nan Yao to eat, I don't know."

Yan Funing didn't hear their conversation, she only knew that her heart was so heavy that she felt like she couldn't breathe.

He immediately grabbed Caiyu's arm and said, "Let's go to another one."

Hearing the voice, Fu Ciyi turned his head and happened to meet Yan Funing's gaze.

Seeing Long Chi'an standing next to her, Fu Ciyi's dark eyes suddenly turned cold.

"It has only been a few days since the imperial decree was issued, and the two of you have not yet married, but your feelings for each other are very strong."

Sarcastic.

His voice was so cold that it seemed like a northern wind blowing across a thousand-year-old ice.

Yan Funing bit the inside of her lip and immediately retorted, "Even so, what does it have to do with you? Dirty man!"

Fu Ciyi: "..."

Dirty person?
