Princess Yanling saw that Feng Siyao rarely shouted at her, and when Lin Jinyan told her the whole story, the resentment in her heart disappeared.
After talking about the conversation, Feng Siyao handed the box containing century-old ginseng to Lin Jinyan:
"Your body is too weak. I'm afraid you've suffered a lot of damage after this experience. I'll give you some soup to drink."
Lin Jinyan opened it, closed the lid and pushed it back:
"This should be the birthday gift that His Highness the Fourth Highness came to find hard and gave to the old Marquis. I can't ask for it."
Feng Siyao pushed back: "My grandfather asked me to bring this, and my brother and cousin also agreed. My grandfather liked the handwritten military manual in your birthday gift very much. And you were obviously unwell that day, but you still managed to hold on until the end of your birthday. After the banquet, I fainted after leaving the Hou Mansion. My grandfather and I both remembered this good thing, so this little thing is nothing."
Lin Jinyan said helplessly: "To be honest with you, I wasn't that weak. I was really angry at the time, but after I came back and lay down for a day, I felt fine."
Princess Yanling asked puzzledly: "Then why do you say that you have been lying down for half a month and you still said you can't get angry and you want to rest well, and you still refuse to visit?"
Feng Siyao: "It should be to put pressure on the Zhao family, right?"
Lin Jinyan nodded: "It's a big deal, after all, it's about a woman's reputation. But it's just a quarrel between her daughter's family. If I get better too quickly, the Zhao family will naturally not take it seriously, and it will be impossible to discipline Zhao. Miss."
After saying that, Lin Jinyan said apologetically:
"Even my two sisters have hidden this matter, so I can't tell you in detail and make you worry."
Princess Yanling said nonchalantly: "As long as you are fine, I know the stakes here and won't blame you."
Feng Siyao: "Has the Zhao family ever come to apologize?"
Lin Jinyan: "Only on the second day of the birthday banquet, I sent a butler to the house and gave some gifts, but my grandfather and my father confiscated them."
Princess Yanling said angrily: "The Zhao family has such a big official airs! You just want to send someone away by appointing a bastard-faced butler?"
Feng Siyao: "As far as I know, the Zhao family has really been unable to get away recently. I heard that when Zhao Shangshu returned to the mansion for the birthday banquet, before Zhao Shangshu entered the mansion, he was called away by the Third Highness and scolded him severely. After Zhao Shangshu returned, , full of anger, she went to Zhao Huaqiong to settle matters, but Mrs. Zhao stopped her. The couple had a big quarrel, and Mrs. Zhao hanged herself in anger. "
Princess Yanling asked: "Why didn't I know? What happened next? Is Mrs. Zhao dead?"
Feng Siyao: "You don't know, even if you're not dead, won't it spread throughout the world if you die? He didn't die, but he lay in bed for two days. For these two days, Zhao Huaqiong was locked up in the ancestral hall by Zhao Shangshu. When she was released by Mrs. Zhao, she was out of the cold, and she was ill for several days, so no one brought her to the house to apologize."
Princess Yanling: "What about after she recovers? Why hasn't she come these past few days?"
Feng Siyao: "These days, the Minister of Hubu has been imprisoned. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Third Highness are all anxious to select a new candidate for the Minister of Hubu. As a confidant of His Highness the Third Highness, Zhao Shangshu is keeping an eye on the Ministry of Hubu and is very busy. How can I have free time when I’m stuck on the ground?”
Princess Yanling was very angry: "The mother didn't want to take her to make amends, but the father didn't have time to take her to make amends, so he let her hide away for leisure!"
Feng Siyao: "She is not idle either. The wife of Minister Xiao of the Ministry of Industry went to Zhao's house to cause trouble for her two or three times. I heard that she will hide when she sees Mrs. Xiao now."
Princess Yanling: "How did I hear that Shangshu Xiao suddenly had a son? Mrs. Xiao is crying at home all day long. How can she still have the energy to deal with Zhao Huaqiong?"
