"You two little bastards!"

Old Madam Yan raised her cane and poked at Yan Bojian and Yan Funing: "I would never do such a wicked thing as switching babies!"

After saying this, he left with his servants, supported by Yan Yan'er.

Yan Funing frowned.

If it wasn't Madam Yan, then who was behind this?
Yan Bojian said ashamedly: "Sister, it's Third Brother's fault. I was careless just now. We should have taken it easy."

"You can't blame the third brother." Yan Fu stared at the direction where Old Madam Yan left. "She's right. If the babies were to be switched, it would be more lethal if any one of the eldest brother, the second brother, or the third brother was switched than if it was me."

Especially the eldest brother.

The eldest brother is the prince of the Duke's Mansion and the future Duke.

If Madam Yan wants to deal with Nanyuan, the best target would be my eldest brother.

Now, she was unable to find out the truth behind her encounter, and the easiest way for the empress dowager to revoke her imperial decree was gone.

For a moment, I didn’t know what to do next.

She heard footsteps and looked over there.

I saw that it was my parents coming back.

It was just about time for dinner, and if my parents came back at this moment, they would probably not be welcomed in the Princess's Mansion.

It's all because of her, that's why.

Then she looked at her parents with an apologetic look: "Mom and Dad, I think I did something wrong just now."

"It's not my sister's fault, it's my son's fault." Yan Bojian bowed and said solemnly, "Son, please punish me, father and mother."

"What punishment?" Yan Cheng was puzzled.

Yan Bojian pointed at Gao Wei and said, "This man is the one who made the other jade pendant. I brought him here today to identify him. I didn't expect that the woman who made the jade pendant that year was not the one next to my grandmother."

"It doesn't matter. If the old woman is offended, then she is offended."

Yan Cheng waved his hand and strode towards the flower hall.

Hong Qingyi pulled Yan Funing's hand and followed.

Seeing this, Yan Bojian also chased after him and asked, "Dad, what do you mean?"

"She rashly agreed to Fu Ning's marriage, and instigated Fu Ning to give the arranged marriage to Yan Yan'er. She was the one who offended our Nanyuan first. Why are you afraid of her?" Yan Cheng asked back.

Yan Bojian smiled when he heard this: "Of course my son is not afraid, but I am afraid that the old woman will bully my sister."

Hong Qingyi said, "Your father and I came back just now to tell you a piece of news. The eldest princess and Lord Shi said that they can ignore what happened today and agree to cancel the engagement."

"Really?" Yan Bojian's eyes lit up and he looked at Yan Funing happily, "Sister, look how powerful our parents are!"

Yan Funing took her mother's arm and said, "Thank you, Dad and Mom!"

"You two haven't heard what your mother has to say yet." Hong Qingyi smiled and glared at them. "The Princess and Lord Shi may not care, but they will not take the initiative to ask the Queen Mother to take back her order. If we want the Queen Mother to take back her order, we have to rely on ourselves."

Yan Funing nodded.

Yan Bojian asked Zhenfeng to take Gao Wei away, and the family went to the flower hall.

"Second Miss Yan." A voice came from behind them.

Yan Funing turned around and saw Fu Jiang walking towards her quickly.

He bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Duke, Lady Duke, Third Young Master, and Second Young Lady!"

Then he said, "My son was asked by the Emperor to face the wall and reflect on his mistakes for three days. He asked me to come and tell you that after three days, he will come to discuss with the second young lady about the solution to cancel the engagement."

"Why would I be asked to reflect on my mistakes facing the wall for three days?" Yan Funing was puzzled.

Fu Jiang said truthfully: "Today, the young master went to the palace and asked the emperor to go to the Queen Mother to plead and cancel the imperial decree of marriage."

Yan Funing said, "Please tell him to stay in his own residence and not to annoy the emperor again."

Fu Jiang said he was leaving. Seeing his back, Yan Cheng couldn't help but scold him: "What a troublemaker, can't you take it slow?"

He was so straightforward, I wonder how he got to be a third-rank official?

Now, he was confined to his house for three days.

Yan Funing held her forehead and explained in a low voice: "Dad, Master Fu probably thought that the emperor would help speak for him."

Yan Cheng snorted: "The emperor granted him the Cai family girl in marriage, and you divorced him. How could the emperor help you?"

Unless the troublemaker accused the emperor implicitly or implicitly, the emperor would lose face and punish him immediately.

Being confined for three days is still a light punishment.

The family of four went into the flower hall to discuss.

Not long after, Yan Xinghe returned home.

After hearing about everything that happened today, he came up with an idea: "Old lady, this way is not feasible, sister, why don't you try another way."

"What way?" Yan Funing raised her eyes and looked at him.

Yan Xinghe said slowly, "Grandfather."

After a slight pause, he added: "It's a pity that our grandfather doesn't care about things. This is the difficulty."

Yan Funing smiled and called out cheerfully, "Thank you, second brother!"

It was the first time that Yan Xinghe heard his sister call him so clearly, and he was extremely happy: "If you can't follow grandfather's path, tell me, and I will help you find a solution."

"No need." Yan Funing said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, Second Brother, Third Brother, and Grandfather, I will go and talk to them myself."

Yan Cheng said: "Okay, if it really doesn't work, I can go to the emperor and plead for mercy."

Even though the emperor was very concerned about his reputation, it was indeed difficult to ask him to help intercede.

The next day, Yan Funing got up early.

I went to East Third Street early in the morning, entered Chengwen Building, and went straight to the kitchen.

"Tietou, Huadao, Lupin, Pidan, Yuan Luobo, Zhang Doudou, all of you listen to my orders!"

Six chefs in uniform stood in unison: "Young shopkeeper, we're waiting!"

"Show us your skills today. I'm going to make some cold dishes suitable for the elderly to eat in summer. Shrimp paste, glutinous rice and lotus root, cold bean curd, spiced edamame, assorted shredded chicken, fried conch slices with sauce, etc..." Yan Funing raised her finger, "It must be refreshing and delicious, easy to chew and swallow."

Tietou patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, young shopkeeper. I have a lot of experience in cooking for the elderly."

Yan Funing reminded: "These elderly people are not ordinary elderly people. My grandfather is one of them. They have eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. We must not only bring forth new ideas, but also make them delicious."

When the six people heard this, they began to feel troubled.

Pi Dan asked: "Little shopkeeper, what should we do?"

Yan Funing rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll go with you. There are quite a lot of elderly people there. We can finish it as soon as possible together."

When the waiters heard that Yan Funing wanted the cooks to help, they also went into the kitchen.

Xiang Yang asked: "Little shopkeeper, what should we do then?"

"Divide into two teams. One team goes to buy big bones with meat on them to cook for the dogs. The other team goes to prepare corn, millet, small fish and shrimp for the geese. You need to eat more of them."

"it is good."

The guys split up.

Seeing Yan Funing busying herself in Chengwen Building early in the morning, Liu Song and He were very puzzled.

Liu Song frowned: "My daughter, we can understand that you cook for your grandfather. But cooking for geese and dogs, this..."

They don't understand each other at all.

Yan Funing smiled and said, "Uncle and aunt, I have decided to be with Master Fu. Now I want the Queen Mother to withdraw her marriage decree, so I can only ask Grandfather for help." (End of this chapter)
