"Father, please calm down. This really has nothing to do with me." Yu Yu picked up the teacup and passed it to Yu Zheng, urging him on.
Yucheng took the teacup and sipped on it, calming his anger a little.
He sighed with a grave expression on his face.
"Xiao'er, I don't blame you, but the rumors outside are getting out of hand. This time, Qi'er has completely lost face for our family." What face do I have as the Prime Minister!? "
Yu Yu feigned a question, "Little Sister's courage is indeed quite great, I forgot about father's teachings since we were young, but, what can people outside say?"
"Ai, isn't he still talking about Qi'er?" I really don't know how to teach girls! "When I went to court today, someone brought up this matter. I don't even know how to explain it." He heaved a long sigh with an ashen face.
"Father, we can't control their mouths, but don't worry, this matter isn't so bad that it can't be resolved." He was overjoyed in his heart, but his face did not show any emotions as he gently advised.
In truth, this matter was rarely spread out after they bribed a group of maidservants.
Zhao Yuanzhi and Chu Yuanzhi had failed at one plan, but had come up with another, and had even tried to plant some kerosene outside the house to kill her. It was impossible for them to just sit there and wait for death.
Since the mother and daughter pair could not tolerate him and wanted to harm him over and over again, they naturally had to retaliate.
The news quickly spread throughout the capital. News of the scandal had already spread throughout the streets and alleys, even around the streets and alleys.
He wanted to let Zhao Yuanzhi and her daughter know the consequences of provoking him!
"How?" You haven't even heard how unpleasant the people outside are. There's nowhere to put my old face. " Yuchan's face was extremely ugly, and he coughed.
She paced a few steps, deep in thought. Tilting her head, she revealed a happy expression and said, "I have it."
Yu Zheng quickly asked: "What method?"
On the way back from the palace, everyone was talking about Qi. Even the children on the street had made up songs that ridiculed Qi.
This morning, just before the court, Zhao Yuanzhi complained that she had been almost eaten by wolves while she was in the woods.
Even if it was less than politics, he was still worried. He wasn't sure if this had anything to do with it or not. However, the two sisters, Yu and Yu Qi, had always been nervous, and Yu Zheng knew that Zhao Yuanzhi was not as friendly as she seemed. However, the two of them rarely acted as if it was better to be alone than in politics.
Now that everyone knew about this matter, it was rare for politics to disturb them, so they came to find out more about this matter. Firstly, he had to confirm the situation and secondly, see if there were any remedial measures available.
"Pretending to be sick." He stretched out his finger and said word by word.
"Pretending to be sick?" There was less confusion on his face than on his face.
Yu Yu nodded with a smile, "Father, if little sister is mad, then even if she did something out of line, no one would say anything, right?"
"This …" It was less political and less hesitant, but it would affect the future of the marriage. It was a good idea to say that it was less tactful than losing decorum with Qi, but it might affect the future of the marriage.
Yu Zheng was surprised, his position as Prime Minister was already being watched. If Wu Huang blamed him for teaching his daughter to be helpless, it would be difficult to protect her position.
After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded his head.
"We'll do as you say. Spread the news as soon as possible. We can't let this affect the reputation of the Prime Minister's estate."
"Father is right." Overjoyed, he nodded in agreement.
After sending off Fresh Breeze, he coldly called Xiao Lan over and asked, "You are Xiao Yun Chen's man?"
Xiao Lan's entire body shuddered. She didn't expect that she would be able to identify herself so quickly. Since there was no way to hide it, Xiaolan could only nod in acknowledgement.
"Eldest Miss, the Young Master arranged for me to stay by your side just to protect you. He definitely didn't intend to harm you."
Thinking about the autumn morning, Xiao Lan wet the scented sachet that Yu Qi gave her. She should have realized that Yu Qi wanted to kill him. It seemed that she really didn't have any intention of harming him.
His expression softened as he said coldly, "Alright, I believe that you will continue to stay by my side from now on. However, if you dare to betray me, I will not show mercy."
"Don't worry Eldest Miss, Xiao Lan will never do something that goes back on her word."
"Tell me, what do you think of the idea that I gave to the old master just now?" A glint flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes as he laughed.
Xiao Lan gave him a thumbs up and said, "Eldest Miss is indeed meticulous. It's just as Young Master said, you are decisive in handling matters and are exceptionally sharp. This time, when the news spreads out, I believe that the mother and daughter pair will also be able to calm down for a while. "
Yu Yu Yin sneered: "If someone does not offend me, I will not offend them." The mother and daughter of the Zhao family have gone too far. I cannot sit here and wait for death. "
Yuanzhi returned to his bedroom with a dark expression, and she greeted him.
"Old master, why do you look so pale? I'll ask the kitchen to make you some soup. "
"Forget it." My lady, your daughter has done such a thing, and you still have the nerve to start a fight with me! "
"What did Qi'er do to anger Master?" Zhao Yuanzhi pretended to be completely unaware of the situation.
Yu Zhengzhi's expression darkened as he said, "My usual love and love towards her has been in vain. She actually shamelessly cuddled with an unfamiliar man outside and lost all my face at home!"
"Has Master heard the slanderous words? Qi'er has always been a well-behaved girl, how could she do such a dirty thing?" Zhao Yuanzhi's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended not to know as she tried to explain.
"Slander? The streets are full of rumors about your daughter's disobedience to her ladyship, and that I, the Prime Minister, am unable to teach my daughter. Do you really have to wait for His Majesty to punish me before you believe him? " Yu Zhengzhi's face turned red as he shouted in anger.
"I wouldn't dare, master, please calm your anger." Seeing Yu Zheng's rage, Zhao Yuanzhi knew that she could no longer hide it, so she quickly begged for mercy.
Yucheng let out a long sigh, coughed and said, "I won't let her leave the house for now. I will send someone to announce to the public that she has not had a fit of madness, and will stay behind closed doors to recuperate. Take care of your daughter from now on, she'll be a disappointment to me! "
Zhao Yuanzhi was shocked, but she dared not say anything.
The next morning, Qi rarely went outside the study to ask for an audience, and rarely closed the door.
"Tell Second Miss that from today onwards, her room will be closed." Yu Zheng ordered with a ashen face.
As soon as Qi Qi was grounded, she went crazy in the room, throwing all the teacups on the floor.
