Chapter 831 invites the master's best friend to the door
By the way, sister, it was the young grandmother of the Zhong family who had been quietly following me behind, and when she saw that I was okay, she went back to the banquet hall."
Feng Zhiheng pointed to a young woman in purple clothes not far away.
Xiao Fuyuan raised his head and saw Lin Shaofang, the young grandmother of the Zhong family.
When everyone was standing on the front line of eating melons, Lin Shaofang disappeared in the crowd like a shadow, so Xiao Fuyuan didn't notice her. I didn't expect her to play a role in this incident.
The first time I saw Lin Shaofang was at the family banquet in the Zhenguo Mansion, when the stepwife of the Zhong family ordered her to give Bai Jiapan a relationship, but she refused directly despite the dissatisfaction of her stepmother-in-law.
Because the Zhong family has declined, the sense of presence in the capital is very weak, and they rarely attend banquets, that is, when the Xu family first arrived in the capital, they didn't understand how to think about the Zhong family's late sister-in-law's family, so they gave each other a post.
"Cousin-in-law." Xiao Fuyuan beckoned to Lin Shaofang.
Lin Shaofang walked over, called out to his cousin, and smiled at Feng Zhiheng, "Lord Zhiheng, I'm relieved that you're okay."
"You've been following me, are you worried that Fan Lingyi will harm me?" Feng Zhiheng asked with a smile.
Lin Shaofang sighed and said, "Ling Yi's person...... Alas, since I saw it, I couldn't pretend I couldn't see it, I couldn't stop her, I thought I could still call someone if something happened with you."
Xiao Fuyuan asked Lin Shaofang with a smile, "My cousin-in-law has done more than just follow Sister Ah Heng, right?"
Lin Shaofang's face turned red and said, "I also changed Ling Yi's wine."
Feng Zhiheng said: "Sister Lin, don't worry, no one knows about this except us, you are my life-saving benefactor, and our Zhongjing Marquis Mansion must come to thank you."
Lin Shaofang waved his hand and said, "Don't. If my mother-in-law found out, I am afraid that she will stick to your mansion."
Feng Zhiheng thought of the wife of the He family, who was not easy to get along with, and loved to beg people everywhere all day to let the He family recover, and once the entire capital family was afraid of meeting the He family.
Lin Shaofang is different from the rest of the He family.
Feng Zhiheng said arrogantly: "Your mother-in-law is not my benefactor, my promise is only to my sister you, if you encounter any difficulties in the future and need the help of our Zhongjing Marquis Mansion, just ask."
Lin Shaofang nodded.
Xiao Fuyuan saw the red musk deer string in Lin Shaofang's hand, and asked curiously, "Your bracelet is very similar to my master's."
Lin Shaofang raised his head and said, "Your master is Su Yu, right? We were handkerchiefs, and the red musk musk skewers were originally a pair, but her grandmother gave us a string of them when she saw that we were going to do well. I heard that she went to your house to teach her cousin, and she should have a smart student like her cousin so that her talents would not be wasted, and I am happy for her."
Xiao Fuyuan was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect Su Yu to be best friends with Lin Shaofang.
"Cousin-in-law, although my family and the He family do not have any contact, you are an exception, you can come to my house at any time." Xiao Fuyuan said.
Lin Shaofang's expression was full of sadness, and then he lowered his head and said softly, "I am happy that Su Yu can live a comforting life in the Bai family, it doesn't matter if I see it."
Xiao Fuyuan smiled sweetly and said, "Is my cousin worried about the gossip of the family?"
Lin Shaofang raised his head in surprise.
No wonder there is a rumor that the lord of Furong County Bing Xue is smart, and such a young child can guess the key to the problem at once.
Since Su Yu's family was in trouble, the Zhong family did not let her communicate with Su Yu. If she only scolded her, she could bear it, the key was that the Zhong family was not a reasonable person at all, and she was afraid of causing trouble to Su Yu.
She hadn't seen Su Yu for two years.
"Cousin-in-law, you only said that you came to our house, and you didn't say that you were looking for Teacher Su, presumably the Zhong family would like you to come to my house every day."
Xiao Fuyuan blinked.
Lin Shaofang was amused.
My little cousin is so cute.
Lin Shaofang was reminded by Xiao Fuyuan, and instantly understood.
Who doesn't know that the Bai family is an upstart in the capital, how many people want to make friends, especially the Zhong family, who wants to come to the door as in-laws, but there is no way.
If they learned that the Lord of Furong and Lin Shaofang were compatible, they would be eager to do so
tied up his daughter-in-law to the Bai family to accompany Xiao Fuyuan.
Lin Shaofang took the initiative to go to the Bai family as a guest, and the Zhong family not only did not stop it, but also strongly encouraged it.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing there, we're going back."
Xiao Fuyuan heard a voice no less than his second sister-in-law's sharp voice, this voice was heard under the rose stand of the Zhenguo Mansion, no need to ask, naturally it was Lin Shaofang's step-mother-in-law Zong's family who called Lin Shaofang back.
"Oh, isn't this the Lord of Furong?" When the Zong clan saw clearly that Lin Shaofang was talking to Xiao Fuyuan, and there was also the county lord of Zhiheng next to him, his face changed in an instant, and he said with a smile, "Don't worry, you are chatting more with the two county lords."
This daughter-in-law is quite capable, and she can talk and laugh with the two most popular county lords in the capital.
Xiao Fuyuan stood up and said, "Cousin-in-law, I'm going home."
Xiao Fuyuan didn't look at the Zong family, so he pulled Feng Zhiheng to Zhen's side.
The daughter of the Bai family stayed at Liu's house until the evening before returning home.
The turmoil at the Liu family's family banquet has already spread throughout the capital.
Because of the gossip, compared to Zhen Jiqiu's substitution, Fan Lingyi and Manda's private affairs, everyone is more curious about Fan Shijie's illegitimate son in Zhen Jiqiu's mouth.
The Bai family is naturally no exception.
"It's not unusual for a ruthless and unrighteous person like him to have an illegitimate child behind Zhen Ping's back." Tian Maimiao was not surprised that her father had an illegitimate child.
"I don't think it's right." Xie Chuntao rarely expressed his high opinions, and said, "Brother and sister, think about it, the heir is a big deal for a family. Zhen Ping only has Fan Lingyi, even for the sake of the family, Zhen Ping will also allow the existence of the concubine, if you are worried that the concubine will not be born in person, it will make no difference if Zhen Ping will raise it for her own birth. Why did Fan Shijie hide that Zhen Ping had an illegitimate child outside? And the one who doesn't want Zhen Jiqiu to spit out the truth is obviously the old lady."
After Xie Chuntao finished speaking, Zhen glanced approvingly at the eldest daughter-in-law.
It seems that the eldest daughter-in-law is becoming more and more able to analyze problems.
"Sister-in-law is right, this matter is indeed suspicious." Bai Panmei nodded.
But where is the suspicious point, Bai Panmei can't figure it out for a while.
"Fourth brother, the illegitimate child was said by Jiqiu, which means that Jiqiu has seen or heard it by chance. Maybe it's in the Zhenguo Mansion." Xiao Fuyuan reminded the fourth brother, "It's better to ask Aunt Zhang."
Bai Panmei nodded.
Early the next morning, the Queen Mother ordered Zhen to enter the palace.
Before Zhen entered the palace, she brought the deed of sale signed by Zhen Chen to her that year given to her by Aunt Zhang.
On the third day, news came out from the palace that due to the insistence of the little lord, the marriage contract between Fan Lingyi and the little lord was dissolved.
But the marriage between the two countries cannot be annulled.
Since Fan Lingyi and Manda were in love, the emperor promised Fan Lingyi to Manda as the princess.
It can also be regarded as the dignity of the two countries.
Everyone felt that this punishment was too light.
Then came the request of Princess Chen Xuan'er of Chengping, Manda as her stepson to stay in the capital and could not accept the knees of King Chengping and his wife, and the princess followed her to Rongguo to fulfill her filial piety for Manda.
The Zhenguo Mansion was stripped of the Zhenguo Mansion because of the crime of defrauding the monarch by substitute marriage, and Zhen Chen was deprived of the Zhenguo Prince.
It is said that the old lady fainted on the spot in the Queen Mother's Yuqing Palace, and since then she has had a stroke.
To everyone's surprise, the punishment of the Fan family was taken lightly, and Fan Shijie was not affected except for the loss of a daughter.
