Chapter 773 Xie Hongyou is no longer confident
Jiang Fenghua asked, "Isn't his father outside the palace? Does Nanny Wang know his father?"
Nanny Wang explained, "I used to teach etiquette in Prince Heng's mansion. I had dealings with Butler Cheng in the past. Now that his son is an official, he is naturally arrogant. He even went to the palace a few days ago, strolled around the palace, and then left. The Cheng family really thought that the palace was still Prince Heng's mansion, and they could go in and out as they pleased. However, with the Queen Mother nodding, no one dared to say anything."
"His father also went to see Empress Dowager Cheng?"
"Yes, he did go to see her. Butler Cheng is the Empress Dowager's man. At that time, Prince Heng's mansion and the Emperor's every move were under the Empress Dowager's nose, and Butler Cheng reported everything to the Empress Dowager." Nanny Wang explained.
Hong Xiu continued, "Before I left the palace, Xiao Shunzi came to me. He wanted me to help him check his accounts. He also said that some of his accounts were not calculated correctly. I should have helped him at that time, but now he..."
"Why did Xiao Shunzi ask you for help?" Jiang Fenghua wondered, "If Xiao Shunzi really resold the palace's things for profit, he wouldn't hide and ask you to help check the accounts. Isn't he afraid of his accounts being found out and held accountable?"
"That's why I also found it strange. I just went to find Cheng Feng and wanted to ask him about the situation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Hongxiu was a little scared when Cheng Feng was mentioned. She didn't understand why Cheng Feng had changed. When a person has power, has he really forgotten his original intention?
He once told her that he wanted to make the best pastries in Shengjing City.
Seeing that she did not continue, Jiang Fenghua put down the book in her hand and said, "So Wang Sheng might be lying. It was not Xiao Shunzi who took him to embezzle the money. It is very likely that Xiao Shunzi knew that Wang Sheng stole things from the palace to sell, and then Wang Sheng killed him to silence him, and then pretended to find Xiao Shunzi's body."
"I want to interrogate Wang Sheng in person. Also, when did Steward Cheng enter the palace, when did he leave the palace, and what did he do in the palace? Madam Wang, please check quietly." Jiang Fenghua said, "Lian Ye, you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask Steward Cheng to bring all the account books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs here. I want to check the accounts."
Lian Ye glanced at Hong Xiu and asked, "Should I go?"
Hong Xiu said, "If the queen asks you to go, then go."
Lian Ye smiled and said, "Actually, I'm worried that the account book that Manager Cheng gave me was a fake one. Hong Xiu is more skilled in checking the accounts, so it would be more appropriate for her to go."
Jiang Fenghua knew that Hongxiu had already been rejected, and if she were to go again, she would probably be embarrassed.
Hong Xiu was helpless. "How about I go with Lian Ye? I also want to help Xiao Shunzi check the account book that he wanted me to check before he died. It would be a pity if I couldn't find it out. If I had helped him at the beginning..."
Jiang Fenghua said: "What does the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to do with you? Don't feel sorry for Cheng Feng if you don't get along with him. It just means that you two are not destined to be together."
Hong Xiu said, "Your Majesty has seen it, but I just don't know how to explain this to you."
"You don't have to explain to me. Just think it through yourself." Jiang Fenghua said in a gentle voice.
Hongxiu thought about it for many days, and kept thinking about it outside the palace. She was indeed a person who was afraid of trouble. She did not have the courage to deal with Cheng Feng's mother, nor did she have the energy to compete with Cheng Feng's cousin for a man. Her time was limited, and she had to help the empress do a lot of things.
Didn't Nanny Wang never marry? Didn't Nanny Wang live a good life?
At this time, Lin Yu and Aoxue came back with the little princess and the little princes. Lin Yu said, "Isn't it just checking the accounts? I'll go. I can tell at a glance whether the account books have been falsified."
Jiang Fenghua said: "Are you sure you want to go."
Lin Yu was full of confidence. "I have always been very sensitive to money. Fake accounts cannot escape my sharp eyes."
Her eyes were cold and gloomy. "It's been only two days since I entered the palace, and I know that there are many people in the palace who want to bully the queen. If they want to deceive the queen, my fists will not be vegetarian."
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Fenghua asked her, "This is the imperial palace. Don't forget that you are going to get married soon. Don't cause trouble."
Lin Yu said indifferently: "I'm afraid that Hongxiu and Lianye, two weak girls, will not be accepted by others if they go there. There is no conflict between my getting married and helping you!"
"And there's me. As long as I'm here, no one can bully anyone in Kunning Palace." Aoxue also said.
Xie Zixuan and Xie Hongyou asked, "Mother, is there anyone who dares to bully you?"
Jiang Fenghua was stunned. "No, is your mother easy to bully?"
The two shook their heads. "No, if anyone dares to bully our mother, I will punch them first, then kick them, and then elbow them."
Jiang Fenghua smiled and asked, "Who did Xian'er learn this from?"
"Aunt Lin Yu, Aunt said that there are not so many truths in this world, and sometimes fists are more effective than reasoning." Xie Zixuan looked at her brother again, "She also said that it's useless for Youyou to read so many books, and that a man should practice hardening his fists is the hard truth."
Xie Hongyou was caught in the crossfire. He wanted to study only because Xiuxiu was better than him, and he didn't want to be outdone by his sister. "I didn't say I wouldn't practice martial arts!"
"Then put down your crappy book." Xie Zixuan thought that reading was very simple. She could remember it as soon as she read it, and could understand it as soon as she wrote it down. She could understand it as soon as the tutor taught her. Youyou read all day long and didn't feel tired.
Xie Hongyou suddenly lowered his head, looking very unconfident.
Seeing that Xie Zixuan wanted to say something, Jiang Fenghua quickly picked up the book on the table and showed it to Xie Hongyou, "Mother also likes to read. Mother also often can't remember, so Mother also needs to read often."
She winked at Lin Yu and the others, indicating that they should go downstairs to do the work first, and she would leave the two children behind.
After they quietly left, Jiang Fenghua pulled her son to her knees and comforted him: "In fact, your mother doesn't care whether you can study or not, she only cares whether you are healthy, safe and happy."
She pulled her daughter to her side again and said, "Being good at studying is nothing to brag about. The most important thing is to live a comfortable life. If you can study, study more. If you can't study, you can do other things. For example, Youyou is very good at taking care of his younger brothers and sisters."
Xie Hongyou was still unhappy. "But they all said that I am the eldest son of the emperor. I must be very capable to be the eldest brother. Otherwise, I can't lead my younger brothers and sisters well. They will follow me and learn. I don't want them to learn from me that I can't read. Since I am the eldest brother, I must be the best."
"Who told you that the eldest brother must be the best?" Jiang Fenghua hadn't talked to his son for a long time.
"Father." Xie Hongyou said.
Jiang Fenghua was stunned and said quickly: "It's not right for your father to say that. Why should the eldest brother be the most powerful? The eldest brother does not have to be powerful. Your father is the fifth child. Do you think he is powerful? His eldest brother..." She didn't know his eldest brother.
Xie Hongyou said: "Father said that his eldest brother was also very capable, but he left because of some things. In the past, Grandfather liked his eldest brother the most."
Xie Shang also said these things to the child. When Xie Shang comes back, she will definitely teach him a lesson for what he has done to her son.
