Chapter 355: Lifting the Grounding
To solve the trouble at hand, Lord Shangshu visited Xia Jingjing for the first time. Xia Jingjing was still locked in the room, and even if the marriage was done, she was not released.
Master Shangshu came to the door and gave his men a look, and they immediately opened the door.
"I won't have to be grounded in the future." He just said it to his family, and Xia Jingjing inside happened to hear it and ran out happily.
"Daughter, thank you Daddy!" Xia Jingjing was excited about this, she thought that this was her father's favor for her, so she revoked the marriage.
But he didn't expect Lord Shangshu to laugh indifferently, he grabbed Xia Jingjing's wrist and brought her to the position of the main hall.
"You girl is so bold, tell me honestly, how did you deliver the news to Anlan? Do you know that An Lan sued the emperor, and the emperor also made a big fuss about the prime minister and your aunt, although there was no danger, but my father was also punished for a year, you girl is too much......"
Even if Xia Jingjing didn't admit it, Lord Shangshu knew that it was definitely them who secretly communicated the news, otherwise An Lan would not have known what was going on.
"Daddy, I'm ......" Xia Jingjing stammered, she didn't expect that her father would be punished for a year, but she just wrote to An Lan and asked An Lan to save herself.
She didn't say the rest of the words, just swallowed them into her stomach.
"Although this matter is done, there are some things you have to think about clearly, don't be willful, this time I almost lost my official position! You know the situation in the court, Daddy and An Lan are now opposites, you have to think about it secretly before doing things......"
Lord Shang Shu didn't go on, but let out a long sigh, gave Xia Jingjing a disappointed look, and then brushed his sleeves away.
Seeing the back of her father's departure, Xia Jingjing felt sad, she didn't expect that her father would be punished for a year, and she almost lost her official title. Thinking of An Lan and Chu Xingze, he felt a little more annoyed in his heart.
"An Lan, I didn't expect you to be such a vicious person. I trust you, but you hurt my father......" Xia Jingjing clenched her fists and began to complain to An Lan.
Then he called the housekeeper to ask about it, and the housekeeper detailed the facts he knew.
Xia Jingjing understood that this matter was impeached by several ministers, but the reason why several ministers were able to take the initiative to impeach must have been ordered by Chu Xingze.
Although she didn't know much about the affairs of the court, she also knew that when An Lan saw the female generation, it was naturally impossible to order these ministers. But the reason why this matter was revealed was definitely the news that flowed from An Lan's side.
complained about An Lan, Xia Jingjing didn't care too much, and was a little unhappy in her heart.
An Lan was busy in the school early this morning, and suddenly saw Chu Xingze coming, seeing Chu Xingze's figure, An Lan rushed to the room to hide in an arrow step, and deliberately plugged the door from the inside, not wanting Chu Xingze to come and disturb.
Chu Xingze rubbed his nose again, and left with interest, and after Chu Xingze left, An Lan probed his brain out of it.
"Madam, don't worry, the prince has already left. The prince said just now that the marriage has been abandoned, and Xia Jingjing does not have to marry the prime minister's son. Hongqiang smiled and told An Lan about it.
Hearing this, the smile between An Lan's eyebrows came strongly, he never dreamed that it would be so easy to solve, and he had a little more admiration for Chu Xingze.
"I didn't expect that your prince did have some skills, and he would solve that old stubbornness as soon as he came out." An Lan sighed slightly, at this time, Chu Xingze's image in her heart was no longer small.
Looking at An Lan's expression, Hongqiang was excited, and she was most happy that the relationship between An Lan and Chu Xingze could be eased.
Even if An Lan was reluctant to pay attention to Chu Xingze now, she could see that the relationship between the two was not so stiff.
"Red Qiang, you're watching the academy here." An Lan instructed Hongqiang to say a few words, and then with some light gifts, he personally went to visit Xia Jingjing in Shangshu Mansion.
Xia Jingjing had just finished breakfast at this time, stayed in the courtyard for a while, and took a few girls out for a stroll. I've been locked up for so long, and I'm already stuffy and moldy.
Xia Jingjing wandered the street for a long time and didn't plan to come back, and at this time An Lan had already arrived at her home. Although after what happened last time, An Lan is still the princess, Lord Shangshu saw An Lan, he still smiled and was busy stammering.
"Did the princess come to find the little girl? It's just that the little girl didn't happen to go out! "Lord Shangshu knows very well that An Lan can't discuss anything with him except for his daughter.
"Since she is not here, this princess will put down this gift and hand it over to her when she comes back quietly, and I will take the first step." An Lan had an indifferent smile on the corner of his lips, he didn't intend to stay here too long, and he didn't want to talk too much with Master Shangshu.
Seeing that An Lan was leaving, Lord Shangshu was unwilling. An Lan finally came to visit, she was the princess's mother, and this identity was enough to make his Shangshu Mansion shine.
After this time, he was even more grateful to Chu Xingze for his plea.
They have to hold on to this big tree, and if there is any wind and waves in the future, they will be able to win.
"The princess is not in a hurry to leave, the lower officials will send someone to find the little girl to come back now, they have been out for half an hour, and it is estimated that they will be back in a while." After saying this to An Lan, Lord Shangshu called the housekeeper.
He asked the housekeeper to take An Lan to wait in the courtyard where Xia Jingjing lived. An Lan was very worried about Xia Jingjing's situation, and had a lot to talk to her, so she had to follow the housekeeper to Xia Jingjing's courtyard.
A few little girls poured tea and water, soaked the best tea leaves, and gave Anlan the best snacks in the house to enjoy.
An Lan bowed his head to them slightly, rewarded them with some broken silver, and sat in the courtyard waiting.
The quiet courtyard in Xia is really beautiful, and there is a faint scent of orchids. An Lan stood up and saw that there were hundreds of pots of orchids here, all of which were of various colors.
The pot of orchids in the far corner is quite peculiar, it is actually black.
"It's an orchid, it's weird!" An Lan smiled softly, walked over directly, and reached out to touch the pot of orchids.
The little girl next to her ran over and explained to An Lan the origin of this pot of orchids.
"The princess doesn't know that this pot of orchids is from the Western Regions, and it is rumored that this black orchid can bring luck to people......
The little girl's voice was very beautiful, and she was telling with relish. Listening to her story, An Lan crossed the corner of his lips with an indifferent smile, he didn't expect this little pot of orchids to have so many stories.
Just when the little girl explained to An Lan the most intensely, Xia Jingjing came back with a few girls, and the sharp-eyed little girl saw them returning with a lot of things
"Princess, my young lady is back. ”
The little girl was excited and pointed out the direction to An Lan. The moment he turned his head, he found that it was Xia Jingjing who came back.
