Chapter 20: Slapping the Face

Slapping the Face

"Abominable, too abominable! A reminder? What kind of reminder, wasn't that just mocking me for meddling in other people's business?! This abominable woman..."

In the study of the Chen Wangfu, Prince Gong Yin Fengxuan paced impatiently in front of the desk, muttering to himself. Every time he said something, Yin Fengxuan couldn't help but recall what had happened in Ningxiang Yuan, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Why doesn't Fourth Brother just divorce that woman! Fourth Brother saw what happened just now; she didn't take us seriously at all. Why keep a woman like that!"

Yin Fengxuan expressed his dissatisfaction with Nie Jinxuan. Upon hearing this, Yin Fengzhan, sitting behind the desk, merely glanced at him and then returned his gaze to the official document in his hand.

"It is not yet the time!"

"What? Not yet the time?! Fourth Brother, you have endured that woman for half a year; you have already given enough face to her old father, the Senior Minister!"

Yin Fengxuan was somewhat furious. After speaking, he hopped two steps in front of Yin Fengzhan.

"Fourth Brother, that woman cannot be kept. Fourth Brother only agreed to this marriage because of her father's face. But who knew she would be a shrew! From the moment she entered the door, she hasn't stopped, so..."

"Enough, I know it in my heart!"

Interrupting Yin Fengxuan, Yin Fengzhan paused slightly, then lowered his gaze.

"Did Fifth Brother come here today specifically to persuade me to divorce my wife?"

"Uh... of course not!"

Hearing that Yin Fengzhan did not want to talk about this matter anymore, Yin Fengxuan couldn't help but pout in disappointment, then spun around and sat in the chair to the side.

"Actually, I came here for nothing else, just to have a look. Also, I heard a few days ago that someone died in Fourth Brother's mansion, so I'm asking by the way what happened!"

After calming down, Yin Fengxuan returned to his usual frivolous self. But as he said this, he suddenly seemed to remember something and sat up straight abruptly.

"By the way, Fourth Brother, who was the one who died? I heard that woman was at the scene at the time, doesn't that mean she is the murderer?!"

Mentioning Nie Jinxuan again, a glimmer of schadenfreude excitement appeared in Yin Fengxuan's eyes. However, Yin Fengzhan paused his hand and looked up directly.

"The matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface. It would be better for Fifth Brother not to ask!"

"Ah? Not simple?! Could it be..."

Yin Fengzhan did not want to say more, but Yin Fengxuan, who was always curious, became interested. But just as Yin Fengxuan wanted to pursue the specific details, he saw Chief Steward Gu Hong walk in from outside.

"Reporting to the Prince, someone from the Ministry of Punishments has arrived!"

With his head lowered, Gu Hong spoke respectfully. Upon hearing this, Yin Fengxuan, sitting to the side, was stunned. Yin Fengzhan frowned instantly.

"What is the matter?"

"They didn't say specifically, only that they have an important matter to discuss with the Prince."

Gu Hong responded truthfully. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan, who had been frowning, felt his gaze flicker, and he stood up and walked out...

Someone from the Ministry of Punishments had arrived, and their intentions were unknown. At this very moment, in a room in the Houyuaner of the Chen Wangfu, Qiao Yuaner, Qin Yuxia, and Bai Meilan, three women, had sat together for the first time in history.

"Heh~, the excitement today was truly spectacular~!"

As usual, it was Qiao Yuaner who spoke first. As soon as her voice fell, it immediately drew a response from Qin Yuxia beside her.

"Isn't that so? The way today's scene played out, on the surface it was disciplining Xiangcao and Aunt Wu and taking down Prince Gong's face, but if you ask me, it was actually slapping the face of our managing Secondary Consort hard~!" ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
