The concubine lifted the table, the prince was too rampant

Chapter 18: Resigning from office Hou Binglan was speechless for a while, who would have thought that a two-year-old doll could be so difficult.Every word and every sentence is accusing Mrs. Hou's mother and daughter of not obeying women's morals and violating the model of women's conduct.

Zi Jin was also dumbfounded by such a fierce fighting power.Once again, she refreshed her outlook on the world, life, and teaching children. Is such a wonderful son really born by herself?

Wei Mingzhu made a serious decision once again, and must resolutely reject Yao Changjie's suggestion of promising Yun Duo to Cheng Qing.Xiao Chengqing is so powerful at such a young age, he is simply a copy of his husband, and he has fallen like this all his life, her cute little baby must not repeat the same mistakes.

But at this moment, Madam Hou looked at Cheng Qing with a trace of fear in her eyes, and Hou Binglan's eyes fell on Cheng Qing's dimly.

Zi Jin frowned slightly, and said to his son: "Come here, brat, he has sharp teeth at a young age." Zi Jin took his son into his arms, looked at him very unhappy, and stroked his head comfortingly. .But her eyes fell on Hou Binglan's body, she did not ignore the light in her eyes.

"Mrs. Hou, don't care about childish children. Little children are taught benevolence and morality by his uncle, and they go online." Zi Jin smiled softly. Although she was scolding her son, she said benevolence and morality in her words. The ridicule is infinite.

Mrs. Hou herself was at fault, and she was teased by a child about this matter, and it was not easy to get angry, so she had to leave in a hurry and returned in embarrassment.

After seeing off the guests, Zi Jin looked at his son and asked seriously: "Did you say these words yourself, or was someone taught you?"

Hearing his mother's question, Cheng Qing puffed up his small chest and said, "I asked my grandmother, and my grandmother told me. The maidservants at home said that Mrs. Hou was so shameless that she took her daughter to recommend a pillow mat. I don't know what it is to recommend a pillow mat." I mean, I ran to ask my grandmother."

Zi Jin felt a headache, who could this brat help.

Cheng Qing's feat was immediately highly praised by Yao Changjie and Ye Mingxuan, and the little guy with his tail cocked even more soared to the sky.

In the evening, the family gathers around the table for dinner, Ye Mingxuan discusses important matters with Yao Changjie, Zi Jin and Wei Mingzhu talk in a low voice, Yun Duo sits next to Cheng Qing, and there is a nanny next to them carefully watching over the two of them eating, it is very warm.

The two discussed the eldest princess's recruitment of a son-in-law, and after hearing about Bo Shuliang, Yao Changjie looked at Ye Mingxuan and asked, "What do you think?"

Ye Mingxuan lowered his head, and said after a long time: "My opinion is not important, as long as mother is happy. This Bo Shuliang has a bookish character, although his family background is poor, it would be nice if he is really someone he can rely on."

Yao Changjie tapped the table lightly, "The old father at home wrote a letter the day before yesterday to say something about it. Marquis Pingbei has already written a letter to resign, and kindly asked the emperor to grant the title of Marquis Pingbei to his eldest son to inherit."

Ye Mingxuan was taken aback, Zijin was also taken aback, Ping Beihou resigned?

"Where is that father now?" Ye Mingxuan frowned, there was no letter from Beijing recently, so he didn't know about it.

"I heard that after he resigned, he left the capital alone, and his whereabouts are unknown." Yao Changjie said again.

Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan looked at each other, could it be that they came to Jinguan City?The eyes of the two of them lit up, and they both had some expectations in their hearts. No matter what, they still hoped that Ye Qingcheng could reunite with the eldest princess.The purest and most beautiful love in youth is not easily replaced by others.If Marquis Pingbei can let go of his power at this age, and is willing to die in Jinguan City with the eldest princess, it may not be a bad thing.

It must be known that Ye Qingcheng is in his prime, and it is not easy to make such a decision.

After dinner, Zijin and his wife sent Yao Changjie and his wife away, and coaxed their son to sleep before going back to the dormitory to talk.

Zi Jin changed into her homely clothes, loosened her hair, looked at Ye Mingxuan and said, "You said father won't come back to Jinguan City?"

"It's hard to say, but it should be close to ten." Ye Mingxuan felt that if a man could give up his future for a woman, it would be considered a great sacrifice. , how many men in this world can do this.

"I didn't expect that my father would resign from office. It was never expected before." Zi Jin sighed quietly, knowing today, why bother.But things in the world are karmic cycles, and if you don’t lose, you won’t be cherished.Just like she and Ye Mingxuan, who have never experienced those life and death partings, how could they be inseparable now, everything is preordained.

About Ye Qingcheng's resignation, Zijin went to the Princess's mansion the next day to explain it.The eldest princess frowned slightly, and did not say a word for a long time, Zi Jin sighed lightly, and returned to the palace without disturbing her.

On that day, Xiao Chengqing questioned Hou's mother and daughter, but within a few days, it was heard all over the streets and alleys of Jinguan City.But what's interesting is that the rumor didn't mention that the girl from the Hou family recommended herself as a pillow mat, but vaguely insinuated that Zi Jin was jealous and actually instigated her son to insult the girl from the Hou family.For a while, there was an uproar in the rumors, and when Zijin received the news, it was already spreading like a raging fire.

Zijin was naturally very angry when she got the news, the mother and daughter of the Hou family were so courageous that they dared to step on her son to take the throne.Zi Jin didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and no one wanted to bear the name of a shrew in the first place, there was no way in the capital.At the foot of the imperial city, there are many more powerful and powerful people than you. If you want to fight against those who are more powerful than you, sometimes you have to sacrifice your reputation.

But in Jinguan City, this is their fiefdom, their own territory, there is no need for Zijin to let herself be so wronged.But Zijin didn't expect that the Hou family would dare to make such a moth by relying on their own deep roots in Jinguan City, so she can't be blamed for being cruel and merciless.

After Ye Mingxuan returned in the evening, Zi Jin asked about this matter. Ye Mingxuan didn't expect Zi Jin to know about it. He helped her to sit down, and then said: "Are you angry? I'm the one to do everything. Freezing three feet doesn't take a day In the cold weather, the Hou family naturally relies on their own foundation to make waves. If we want to completely eliminate this hidden danger, we have to start from the root."

"Are you going to attack Hou Jie?" Zi Jin frowned, "Could you be in a hurry?" The Hou family is a prominent family in Jinguan City, with many connections and influence.Otherwise, he wouldn't have the guts to do such a thing.It's not that Zijin has never thought about eradicating the Hou family's power from the root, but there is no rush, and if she is not careful, she will lose everything.

"You don't have to worry, just take good care of yourself. I've already discussed with my uncle, and I will naturally dig a good hole for his funeral." Ye Mingxuan's murderous look, the Hou family touched his bottom line, for his own selfish desire, unexpectedly He can't bear to lay hands on his daughter-in-law and son.

Zi Jin didn't ask any more questions, anyway, she believed in Ye Mingxuan, if her husband didn't have this ability, how would she live.

Silent all night.

A few days later, Zi Jin was reading and listening to Xiao Chengqing, when Pan Qiu walked in quietly and took a look at Zi Jin.Zi Jin understood, looked at Xiao Chengqing and said, "Go play in the garden by yourself, remember to take your girl and woman with you, don't run around alone."

Cheng Qing felt bored after sitting all afternoon, so he nodded and went leisurely.

Seeing his son walk out step by step like a little old man without the joy and cheers of his little friends, that is a prudence.Zi Jin wanted to scratch the wall, isn't it too sinful for a child to be so stable?

Seeing the maid followed Cheng Qing to the garden, Zi Jin felt relieved, looked at Ban Qiu and said, "What happened?"

"Returning to the princess, I heard from the servant of the second gate today that Lord Hou, the leader of the city gate, was involved in a lawsuit. I heard that he was riding a horse across the street and accidentally injured someone."

In this society, riding a horse and hurting people is really not a big deal. As long as Hou Jie pays for the soup and medicine, the matter is over.After all, the people don't sue the officials and don't rectify them. How can the ordinary people have trouble with the officials in this kind of thing? Isn't it courting death?

"It's not a big deal, but since you specifically mentioned this, there must be an unexpected development." Zi Jin looked at Wan Qiu and asked.

Wan Qiu hurriedly smiled and said: "Wangfei has a good opinion, that's exactly what it is. Speaking of it, it must be Master Hou's bad luck, but this person is a scholar, and Wangfei also knows this person."

Zi Jin was taken aback, she also knew... Wasn't there only one scholar she knew in Jinguan City?

"Bo Shuliang?" Zi Jin asked.

"It's him, it's not lively now." Wan Qiu pursed his lips and smiled, the people in the palace were annoyed by what the Hou family had done, and they wished that the Hou family would be in trouble.

Zi Jin smiled lightly, this Bo Shuliang is really unlucky, to be greedy for such a disaster.But Bo Shuliang is not afraid of the rich and powerful, and he is proud, so he naturally wants to seek justice for himself.Even if Hou Jie is an official from the fourth rank, he is also a scholar with a reputation.Even Hou Jie didn't dare to deal with Bo Shuliang easily, but it was really a happy thing.

"How's Bo Shuliang's injury? Is it okay?" Zi Jin asked, Bie Jie really hit a serious injury.

"I heard it was a broken rib, and it wasn't fatal. Originally, if Lord Hou had paid for the decoction and medicine in a nice way, the matter would have passed, but Lord Hou insisted that Bo Xiucai ran out on his own. Paying for soup and medicine, and even kicking him. Bo Xiucai has never been insulted like this before, and he immediately refused to do so, clamoring for justice." Wanqiu said exactly what she had heard. .

Zi Jin felt that this matter could be carefully planned, and it might be the first step to bring down Hou Jie, so she raised her head and asked, "Does the lord know about this?"

"Your maidservant doesn't know." Wan Qiu replied with her head bowed.

"Go to the study to see if the prince is there. If he is, please come over." Zijin looked at Panqiu in a good mood and said, "You send a servant to withdraw 20 taels of silver from the tent, and find a doctor to give it to Bo. If a scholar sees a disease, don't be tricked by others."

There was supposed to be a second change, but a certain Xiang had a terrible toothache, so I had to do the first change. I’m really sorry for everyone when the tooth is healed. o(╯□╰)o
