Chapter 336: Overt Conspiracy
"Mother, this matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either. Isn't there a hot pot restaurant opened by the prince of Hui County Prince's Mansion opposite Yin'er's hot pot restaurant? It is now managed by the brother of the prince's wife Dai Jia. There is nothing wrong with opening a hot pot restaurant, but their family has been completely imitating our restaurant, so Yin'er and I investigated the hot pot restaurant. We found out that the chef agreed to copy our secret recipe because he wanted to buy medicine for his father, and it was completely provided for them!"
Wen Yao explained the matter in detail, "The chef's father can't be cured. This is a crime of murder. Yinzhen wants to use this incident to change the privileges of the Eight Banners to murder Han people. I think our family will be angered by this. I will tell the clan leader in advance so that he can be prepared and sever ties with us. We are still in the same boat. At that time, all the clan members will have to be careful!"
Jueluo felt that her brain was not enough, "Isn't this a big deal? You and the Ninth Prince are really bold and daring," Jueluo's heart skipped a beat, this would make the entire Eight Banners clangers attack!
She couldn't make a decision, after all, it was related to the interests of the entire Dong E family. "Do you want to call your father back?"
"No need, I'll go take a look and come back and tell the clan leader directly," Wen Yao shook her head. After all, it would be of little use to tell Ama. The clan leader had to be informed of the matter. As for what decision the clan leader would make, they would wait for them to discuss it and then tell Ama. If Ama met Yinzhen at that time, he would just tell Yinzhen directly.
Wen Yao and Jueluo went to see the clan leader. In the study, Wen Yao met with the clan leader of the Dong'e clan alone. After hearing what Wen Yao said, the clan leader was slightly stunned and sighed, "The Ninth Prince is also a troublemaker, but it's good that way. Those things before will be a disaster for our clan in the future. Now that they are neutralized, it can help our family rise a little bit and clean up the inactive children in the clan at the same time."
"This is just my opinion. After I discuss this with the other elders, I will inform you, Ninth Lady," the clan leader looked at Wen Yao and bowed. "Don't worry, Ninth Lady. Even if someone in the clan is horrified, the Dong'e clan will not sever ties with you. All the clan members will remember your kindness to the Dong'e clan!"
Wen Yao hurriedly stepped forward and asked the clan leader to stand up. "Uncle, what are you saying? I am embarrassed by your courtesy. Please discuss with the clan elders and tell my father when the time comes. My father will tell Master Jiu when he goes to court or takes up his post."
Wen Yao exchanged greetings with the clan leader again, then got up and left. She then took Jueluo for a stroll and took them to some shops in the alleys of the outer city. Jueluo has become calm from her initial discomfort.
When Wen Yao first responded and took Jueluo there, Jueluo was very stiff and uncomfortable when she went in. She didn't touch anything, and there was a hint of rejection inside and out of her body.
She slowly let go, but still changed her clothes on purpose. However, she only came here with Wen Yao occasionally. At other times, Jueluo would not set foot in these places.
It was almost noon when the two of them returned home. Wanyan and Nanny Cui He had already returned. After having their meal in the mansion and taking a short rest, they went out for a long walk before returning to the palace.
Wanyan went from being excited at first to being exhausted at last. After returning with the things she had bought, she lay down. She was really too tired. As for dinner, midnight snack, and washing up, she just let them be. She couldn't hold on any longer!
Wen Yao was not as tired as Wanyan, but after returning home, she soaked her feet comfortably and arranged for the servants to give her a massage, especially on her legs. It hurt at first, but after getting used to it, it was okay and quite comfortable. There was no pain the next day.
"Xiaochun, go to Wanyan and arrange for someone to massage her. She will probably go to rest as soon as she comes back. I'm afraid she won't be able to get up the next day." Wen Yao could imagine what Wanyan would be like as soon as she came back. She would probably fall asleep as soon as she lay down, just like someone who had been sitting or lying at home for many years. Going out for a walk occasionally was like a death sentence for her!
Not long after, Wen Yao dressed again and was enjoying the cool in the yard when she heard Wanyan's scream. "Haha..." Wen Yao laughed out loud, feeling gloating, after all, she was also so miserable the first time!
Little Pomegranate just came back from the martial arts field and planned to rest at Sister Nine's place and go back to her mother's place after supper. Then she heard a scream. Little Pomegranate quickly moved her short legs to look for Wen Yao. When she saw her, she quickly rushed to her, "Sister Nine~~"
After Wen Yao held the little pomegranate that looked like a small cannonball, she looked at him, looking a little dusty, and asked, "Did you roll on the ground?"
"Hehe... I was practicing kung fu, my steps were unsteady, and I fell many times. Sister Jiu, I want to take a shower," Little Pomegranate also felt that this was not good, "Xiao Qiu, I want to take a shower!"
Little Pomegranate has become very familiar with finding the servant who can bathe him most comfortably, because Xiaodong is not very good at making people laugh, and the other servants are silent. Only Xiaoqiu will talk to him seriously when bathing him. Although she is not very good at making people laugh, her tone of voice will unconsciously follow his, and will be very serious, so Little Pomegranate especially likes to find Xiaoqiu!
Xiaoqiu used to live in the Yiku Palace. She watched Yinzhen grow up and stayed with many young eunuchs and maids in the palace. She was very patient with children. Now she treats the prince with patience and respect, but it's as if she is treating an adult!
Xiaoqiu is very popular among the young servants in the palace. Now after coming into contact with the Sixteenth Prince, Xiao Shiliu looks for Xiaoqiu whenever he arrives at the prince's residence.
Xiaoqiu looked at Wen Yao, who nodded. Xiaoqiu smiled and looked at Xiao Shiliu who was rushing towards her. However, when Xiao Shiliu was approaching Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu stopped. Xiaoqiu squatted down and looked at Xiao Shiliu and asked, "Sixteenth Prince, come over here with me. Do you want me to hold you or lead you?"
"Hold my hand, Xiaoqiu. You will get dirty if you hold me. You still need to wash," Xiao Shiliu looked at Xiaoqiu, then at herself, and made a decisive decision.
Xiaoqiu got up and took Xiao Shiliu to take a bath. Wen Yao could hear Xiao Shiliu's giggles from time to time.
Nanny Cui He walked in from outside, walked to Wen Yao's side, handed Wen Yao a cup of warm water, bent down and whispered in Wen Yao's ear: "Princess Zhaojia knows why Master Jiu punished her like this, but she didn't care much and is enjoying it now."
Wen Yao finished the water in a few gulps and looked at Nanny Cui He with a hint of smile on her lips. She wanted to plot against Zhao Jia. After all, her character was that of a kind and generous concubine, so she would be kind and generous to the end.
"If you do this, go tell Zhao Jia that it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. If she doesn't want to be punished like this, she can go and apologize to Master Jiu."
