Chapter 396: – Chen Yueyao Driven Out

399. Chapter 399 Chen Yueyao Driven Out

Sui Sui at first only watched her father practicing sword, but as she kept watching her heart itched, so she cupped her little face and asked father if she could learn as well.

Prince Qing heard, his little daughter wants to learn?

Yes!

Originally, he was also uneasy about Sui Sui's safety, so he arranged many people to protect her.

If Sui Sui herself were skilled in martial arts, her safety would be even higher.

Prince Qing has little patience when teaching.

Perhaps because his own talent is good, he doesn't understand how a small amount of material can be unlearnable.

But when teaching Sui Sui, he is very patient.

Even if the little girl doesn't understand some parts, he explains repeatedly and patiently.

If Sui Sui still doesn't get it, he demonstrates himself.

In short, in every way, he does his utmost to make Sui Sui understand the stance or the opening move.

Sui Sui was initially curious; she thought her father very heroic, so she wanted to see how he looked while practicing sword.

But after she tried it herself, she found it very interesting.

How to put it?

Perhaps it's a matter of talent?

Prince Qing's pendant sword is somewhat heavy; Sui Sui finds it laborious to hold. If conditions allowed, Prince Qing would actually give Sui Sui a sword to wield on the spot.

But, no.

He truly can't do that.

Prince Qing is already pondering the possibility of him leaving the battlefield to become a blacksmith directly.

Ministry of Works…

They should also recruit skilled blacksmiths, right?

Actually, this should go to the Ministry of War.

After all, weapons fall under their jurisdiction.

While Prince Qing was thinking, he deftly took his pendant sword and fashioned a wooden sword for Sui Sui.

The wooden sword is light and easy to handle, very friendly to beginners.

Sui Sui didn't mind; father's sword was indeed too heavy.

This wooden one now is just right.

She happily began practicing with it.

Prince Qi, after dealing with Jin Yangzi, still remembered to inform the Princess Consort.

Princess Consort of Qi hasn't been especially busy lately, but she also has little free time.

Any spare moment she spends accompanying Sui Sui.

In Qi Yue, there are some social obligations outside, requiring careful gift preparation.

Moreover, Meng Ce Fei's birthday is also in Qi Yue.

The Residence won't hold a grand ceremony, but the family will certainly sit together for a meal.

Everyone gets along harmoniously, so Princess Consort of Qi is also willing to give them some face, letting them be more comfortable.

There aren't many matters in Qi Yue, but Sui Sui's affair counts as one.

In the end, everyone agreed to follow the normal procedure, returning Sui Sui to Prince Qing's manor.

Of course, Prince Qing said that if he were to go to the battlefield, it would be impossible to bring Sui Sui along.

The child is still young; border passes are harsh and cold, and battlefields are blind to swords.

Therefore, the child must stay in Jing.

Prince Qing's manor also lacks a lady of the house, so the child will still need to be looked after by them.

Prince Qi, after hearing this, felt satisfied and thought his earlier frankness wasn't wrong after all.

With no guilt or unease, he can enjoy caring for the child, which feels quite good.

Now Prince Qing is only at ease spending time with Sui Sui, not concerning himself with other matters.

Thus, the issue of Sui Sui returning to the manor isn't urgent for now.

August…

There are quite a few matters in August.

The ninth day of the eighth month is Princess Shunyang Feng You Tan's birthday; the children get along well, so gifts must be prepared.

Back then, regarding Sui Sui's minor banquet, both the He Clan and Noble Consort He gave her full respect.

Although there may have been some rivalry between Noble Consort He and the Empress.

Nevertheless, the gifts were genuine.

Therefore, for Princess Shunyang's birthday, they will surely prepare gifts sincerely and generously.

Princess Consort of Qi has been researching these past two days; if it doesn't work, they can find a skilled painter to design a few models, then hire artisans to craft them.

Rushing against time still leaves a chance; they should be able to prepare them.

Princess Consort of Qi was busy when Prince Qi told her that Jin Yangzi had come to the gate demanding people.

After hearing, she furrowed her brows: "Their information is indeed swift."

Just a few days ago they drove Chen Dalang's family out, and already within days, they sniffed the scent and came to demand people.

At this moment, Princess Consort of Qi felt very relieved, thinking it's good, it's good that they found Sui Sui's real father, and won't be dragged back by Jin Yangzi's man‑eating den!

Of course, even if Sui Sui truly belonged to Jin Yangzi's residence, they would at most shed some blood, but would definitely protect the child.

Princess Consort of Qi thought, she definitely wouldn't let Sui Sui be given away.

This is her treasure; how could she let it go?

After murmuring, the Princess Consort of Qi whispered, "Has Chen Dalang's family been captured?"

Prince Qi nodded, "Don't worry, this matter has been personally handed to the Da Li Si by the imperial brother; the evidence is sufficient, they went straight to arrest them. By calculation, Chen Dalang's family should already be reunited in the prison."

The Princess Consort of Qi, after hearing, was reluctantly satisfied; she wanted to say something, but with the Prince before her, she held back.

When the Prince went to see Sui Sui, the Princess Consort of Qi called Aunt Qiu and whispered, "Go check whether Chen Dalang's family has already been taken to the Da Li Si's Tianlao. If they have, just give a greeting there, don't kill them; nothing else needs to be restrained."

Aunt Qiu replied softly, "Yes," and then went to make arrangements.

In fact, Prince Qi had already given the word.

He will ensure Chen Dalang's family lives very comfortably in the prison.

In reality, the plight of Chen Dalang's family at this moment is such that anyone who sees it would sigh.

Chen Yueyao had no idea how her identity was exposed.

She hadn't even reacted; she only knew that shortly after her parents caused a commotion at the door, Liu Pozi, who was by Xu Lao Fu Ren, arrived with people and said she wasn't a daughter of Jin Yangzi Residence, and should return to wherever she came from.

Considering she was in the residence and behaved fairly obediently, Jin Yangzi Residence chose not to press the matter of her deception.

Hearing that, Chen Yueyao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She couldn't understand where she went wrong.

She still hoped to find a chance to go to the door and beg Xu Lao Fu Ren not to condemn her like that.

She wouldn't act worse than Sui Sui; she could arrange a marriage alliance and help Jin Yangzi Residence recover.

She can definitely do it!

Sui Sui can do it; why can't Chen Yueyao?

Unfortunately, Jin Yangzi Residence completely ignored her.

The gatehouse staff used to see her as a lady of the residence and treated her fairly politely.

After Xu Lao Fu Ren denied her identity, the gatehouse staff gave her a cold stare; though they didn't add cutting remarks, their expression said everything.

Yet Chen Yueyao didn't want to give up the wealth and honor, so she pounded on the door desperately, only to be dragged out by someone.

Early this morning, their family was still nesting in a small Ke Zhan in Jing Cheng, when Da Li Si officials came straight to the door, accusing the family of plotting to murder Prince Qing's county princess!

Where did Prince Qing's county princess come from?

Chen Yueyao remembered that Prince Qing's residence had no children.

It was Prince Qi's residence that had previously adopted a little county princess.

These were things she hadn't had in a previous life, and Chen Yueyao was getting used to them; as long as it didn't affect her, she didn't care about whether someone was a county princess or not.

But why has another county princess appeared in Prince Qing's residence now?

Thinking again of Xu Lao Fu Ren's abnormality, Chen Yueyao trembled all over, imagined a terrifying possibility, turned her head, her face streaked with blood and tears, and asked Tian Cuihua, "Did you really take care of Sui Sui back then?"
