Chapter 182: Habitual style, Crying back at home
Lin Chujiu wanted to keep a low profile. She wanted to leave Xiao Wangfu unnoticeable. But, going out in the capital with four carriages, can she avoid being noticed?
Lin Chujiu give up her idea and just said to Housekeeper Cao: Dont let my grandmother learn about my injuries. She didnt want the old lady to worry about her.
Wangfei, rest assured, this servant will obey. Guo Gongfu was originally not a well-informed family. And this time, the three sons are injured, so its very easy to conceal this issue.
After the assassination attempt on Lin Chujiu, Xiao Wangfu sealed the information strictly and didnt let anyone leak the issue. Aside from the few people in the palace, no one else knows the truth.
On the second day Lin Chujiu left, Xiao Wangfu announced that Lin Chujiu went to Zhuangzi to recuperate. As for what the reason she had to recuperate? It was because of Princess Fu Ans birthday banquet, that was held three days ago.
Three days ago, at Princess Fu Ans birthday banquet, Princess Xiao was extremely frightened. As for the reason why? When Xiao Wangfus guardsmen visit the Wanfu Garden, they found four dead bodies.
According to Prince Xiaos habitual style, the four dead bodies were sent to Cui Familys residence in the capital.
When the Cui Family received the dead bodies, they immediately promised to find out the truth. Once found out, they will give explanations. Xiao Wangfus guardsmen are well disciplined, after sending the bodies, they didnt say anything and just left.
The Headmaster of the Cui family ordered his people to check all the in and out stories of the dead bodies.
Princess Fu An had made up her mind that day because she believes she could do things beautifully. But, she didnt expect that there were many loopholes and it will leak. Soon afterward, the Cui Family found out what happened. And they learn that everything was done by Princess Fu An. The Headmaster of Cui Familys face changed immediately.
Princess Fu An is the emperors biological sister. Although she is married to the Cui Family, she is still a royal princess. The Headmaster of Cui Family didnt say anything to Princess Fu An. He only summons the First and Second daughter-in-law that was with Princess Fu An on that day, to discuss things.
The two daughters-in-law dont have a good relationship with her. They can work together to tarnish her reputation. Princess Fu An is not a fool. That is why, although she hasnt heard a single word about the discussion, she immediately threatens the Cui Family that she will return to the palace.
Someone come, prepare the carriage and send the princess back to the palace. The Headmaster of Cui Family directly sent an order. He didnt give Princess Fu An a room to discuss things.
Princess Fu An was dumbfounded. She didnt expect that the Cui Family will throw away her face just to pleased Prince Xiao. In her shame and anger, she went back to the palace immediately. Leaving the Cui Family to fix things alone.
As soon as she returned to the palace, Princess Fu An went to the empress and cried out all her grievances. The Empress had a headache, so she sent someone to the emperor to report. The Emperor was not satisfied with the Cui Familys attitude, but he was also not satisfied with Princess Fu An.
When you decide to marry the third son of the Cui Family, I didnt agree with you. But, you didnt listen! The Cui Family might be a first class noble family, but it has no benefit to a royal princess. Can you use their third son as a hummer? No! none of them are useful to you. But regardless of that, Princess Fu An still dared to act with dirty means.
Whoever not pleasing to the eyes must be killed. That is the habitual style of a royal princess.
When Princess Fu An arrived at the palace, she didnt receive any comfort. Instead, the emperor scolded her. So, she cried even harder: Imperial brother, you might not know it, but Cui Familys third son would rather die than marry a royal princess. But, because I wanted to marry him, he can only marry me.
For a man, you disregarded your identity as a royal princess, you really let me down. The Emperor couldnt understand Princess Fu An, so he even got angrier.
Princess Fu An also knew that she was wrong regarding in this matter, so she no longer dared to argue. She only said: Imperial brother, this matter is in the past now, theres no use in blaming me. But now, I was wronged, in order to please Prince Xiao, the Cui Family throw away my face. I dont feel good about this.
The Cui Family didnt throw away your face for Prince Xiao. It was you You were the Cui Familys daughter-in-law, but you threw away their face. The emperor saw right through Princess Fu Ans plan. And because he saw right through it, he felt that Princess Fu An was stupid.
It doesnt matter if you do bad things. You can do bad things as many as you want. But, if you got caught and didnt repent, that is the time you were wrong.
Then, what should we do? All these years, Princess Fu An lived a good life. Whether she is in the palace or in the Cui Family, everyone pleased her. She hasnt deal any situation like this.
You dont need to do anything else but wait. As long as the Cui Family lived in the East Country, I can deal with them one way or another. In any case, it was his sister who is wrong, so he has no room to discuss things.
Because of the emperors words, Princess Fu An settled in the palace.
When Princess Fu An left, the Cui family continued to discuss things. They all felt that what their headmaster did is too much. They really dont need to offend Princess Fu An for Prince Xiao.
The Headmaster of Cui Family didnt explain his decision, he only asked his third son, who married Princess Fu An: Third son, what do you think about this matter?
Since Princess Fu An married me, when she had done something wrong, she must be punished according to the Cui Familys rules. The Cui Family has its own strength. We are not doing this to pleased Prince Xiao. We are only following the Cui Familys habitual style. Cui Third son said lightly. But, the meaning of his words is clear.
Everyone who was present felt ashamed when they heard him. Years of political pressure made them all forget the strength of their family.
The Headmaster of Cui Family nodded his head in satisfaction: What Third Son has said is correct. Our Cui Family has its own strength. Xiao Family is on top of us, but it doesnt mean Princess Fu An can just ignore our Cui Familys rules. Besides, Prince Xiao has given us the opportunity to make decisions.
What does father mean to say? Cui second son asked.
The Headmaster of Cui Family did not say much, he only said: This matter is for father to make an arrangement. You only have to do your own thing. Princess Fu Ans matter is Third sons matter. Third son is not in a hurry. So, you too dont need to worry.
This son understands. The Headmaster of Cui Family has absolute authority in the Cui family.
After things were set, on the second day, Cui Third Son visited Xiao Wangfu and brought gifts. While facing Xiao Tianyaos cold face, Cui Third Son was rather calm, look generous and unaffected.
In his speech, he never said Princess Fu An is innocent. He only said that due to Cui Familys negligence, Princess Xiao was frightened and they are willing to compensate.
Cui Third Son was an elegant man, he was very handsome and talented person. He was a genius among all the genius. Countless young ladies were introduced to him during his youth. But, he didnt want to think about so many wives, he only wants one person. He was also a family oriented person. Otherwise, Princess Fu An would not be so desperate to marry him.
Prince Xiao, this incident happened due to our Cui Familys negligence. I dont dare to ask Prince Xiao and Princess Xiaos forgiveness. I only want to ask Prince Xiao to give us a chance to do something for Princess Xiao, as compensation for frightening her. Even when making amendments, a person couldnt dare to belittle him.
This is the first time Xiao Tianyao had a deal with Cui Familys Third Son. Seeing someone as high class as him, bowing his head. Xiao Tianyao couldnt help but think: What a pity.
Unfortunately, he was married to Princess Fu An. His grand future was blocked.
