C129 (1/2)

Lance's was so angry that his five fingers were clenched into a fist, his eyes tensed up, his heart shrank, biting his lips, preventing himself from making a sound.

Sun Fuping saw through the problem and asked with concern, ”What happened?”

The Lance's was about to angrily say something, but when Sun Jinyu saw her concubine's sad look, he knew something was amiss. He immediately stepped forward and gently pulled her back.

Lance's also regained her senses in a flash, turning into a pitiful state. Her tears were secretly contained in the autumn water eyes, faintly discernible, but there was a hint of pity in them.

”It's nothing. Madam's punishment is naturally excellent.”

Sun Fuping nodded his head in satisfaction. Harmony between a wife and concubine was the condition he wanted to see the most.

”Just that, of the two that met with mishap, one is the most suitable wife in the courtyard of Aunt Lan, and the other is the one who harmed the Aunt Qian. When this happened, she had delusions of blaming Zi Er for it, in Master's opinion, how should we deal with their families?” Zhong's said in an encouraging tone.

”Hmph. No matter who it is, since they've made such a mistake, they still want to slander their master. Other than killing them randomly, all the other family members sell their official slaves and they will forever have lowly status.”

Sun Fuping's words came to a halt. Lance's still wanted to speak, but it was already too late.

”I have wronged the Aunt Qian and Zi Er today. Old master should have comforted them for a while.” Zhong's suddenly looked at Sun Jinzi and smiled at her amicably.

The smile was unexpectedly sincere, causing Sun Jinzi to subconsciously shiver. What was going on?

Her clear eyes firmly locked onto Zhong's. She wanted to find out something from her face that was full of the marks of time and youth, but she couldn't find anything.

Looking at Sun Jinmeng, she also didn't say anything to refute him, or even glare at her, but she wasn't looking at her either.

Sun Jinzi suppressed the doubts in her heart, and waited for the later detailed investigation. At this time, she stood up, and properly dealt with Sun Fuping and Zhong's in front of him.

”Your daughter thanks father and Madam for their concern. Your daughter is very well, as long as tricky slaves like them are punished.”

”In that case, this matter shall be handled by Madam with full authority.” Sun Fuping's face was extremely solemn, he straightened his clothes, raised his hand and waved, he got up and entered the study.

In the recent days, there were many foreign envoys coming to the Imperial Palace, thus, there were many things that needed to be done in various departments. Furthermore, another matter like the poisoning happened a few days ago, which made everyone feel troubled, causing Sun Fuping to lose the desire to go to the backyard to have fun.

When everyone left, nothing could be seen on their faces, they were all calm. However, the expression under the mask was extremely rich.

As a result, after everyone had dispersed and returned to their own courtyards, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

”Mom, what's wrong with you today?” Sun Jinmeng hid her stomach full of doubts and wanted to ask Zhong's.

Hearing that, Sun Jinbo also looked at Zhong's.

Today, it was as if the sun had risen up to the west, how could the Zhong's not make things difficult for Sun Jinzi and protect her time and time again?

Zhong's gave a deep laugh before sighing heavily, ”What can I do? Isn't it all because of Meng Er?”

Sun Jinmeng was even more confused, her phoenix eyes opened wide in shock.

”Today, your grandfather sent a messenger to deliver a letter. I'm afraid the Sixth Prince is going to die.”

While Sun Jinmeng and Sun Jinbo were present, Zhong's said everything that he had said in his letter.

It turned out to be the Sixth Prince, he was really unlucky.

”That matter, the people's hands and feet were too clean, I'm afraid that the Sixth Prince will not be able to get any proof, His Majesty had thought about that before, for this matter, he must give an explanation to the envoy of the Easternum, if not, if he could not catch the real culprit, he can only find the culprit.”

That person was undoubtedly the Sixth Prince, and without his mother's protection, he was the best target.

”Then... ”Then what about our family?” Their Sun family had a arranged marriage with the Sixth Prince, if the Sixth Prince was infected with the poison that harmed the Emissary of East Chu, it would be hard for the Sun family to escape from this calamity.

”What should we do? What can we do?” Your grandfather doesn't have any good ideas now, but I did think of one, so I wanted to discuss it with you two siblings. ” Zhong's took a sip of tea and calmed his messy thoughts.

”Please enlighten me, mother.” Sun Jinbo immediately took a step forward.

He had interacted with all the princes and princes before. He knew that if a prince were to offend the His Majesty the Emperor, he would lose his imperial favour and what kind of life he would have to lead.

There was no way he could live a good life.

It was just like what his father did in the past few days. He was originally a dignified Minister of Revenue, but he was actually divided into many trivial matters, such that it was inseparable from the loss of favour in the Sixth Prince.

”The bestowal of marriage is done by the His Majesty the Emperor, there is no way to avoid it in our house. In my opinion, the only way is to let Sun Jinzi take action.”

”She couldn't wait for our bad luck to arrive. How could she possibly make a move?” Sun Jinmeng could see this very clearly.

The Zhong's finally regained her wits, and rolled her eyes slightly: ”Do you remember, at that time when the young miss of our house was still young and hadn't married into the First Prince's Estate, she and the Sixth Prince had already been informed about this?”
