Chapter 526 Inquire
Zhang Liangchuan was already blushing with shame, and when he heard this, he immediately wanted to stand up and apologize to Lin Yuzan.
But before he could move, he heard Lin Yuzan's whisper again.
"I once heard from my cousin that when they were in the palace, the daughter of Censor Liu was nearly punished by His Majesty for inappropriate words. Although she managed to escape the punishment in the end, the young lady from Lu Zhengqing's family was not spared. Now she has been punished in the palace and must stay in the laundry department for a full year." Lin Yuzan said slowly.
After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Liangchuan nonchalantly and said, "Although I don't know why you were punished, my sister Qing has become more sensible because of this."
Zhang Liangchuan was shocked when he heard this, and asked hurriedly, "Brother Lin, I didn't have time to listen to Brother Quan's words just now, but what nonsense did my niece say?"
Lin Yuzan's face was as calm as water, and he replied slowly: "I just mentioned to my sister Qing that Ms. Zheng abused her power for personal gain and claimed that she heard it from old lady Zhang."
Lin Yuzan's simple words immediately made his heart sink. He hurriedly explained, "My grandmother would never fabricate other people's gossips at will, and she would never say such things to Nichang! She...she..."
Having said that, Zhang Liangchuan excitedly stretched out his hand and pointed straight in the direction of Linglong Courtyard, but his lips trembled and he hesitated for a long time, and in the end he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
He knew very well that Lin Yuzan would never fabricate lies to deceive him, and he had seen what had just happened.
At this moment, he actually recalled the scene in the past when Wang and Lin were punished when they returned to the academy. The four words "raising a child is hard" were probably going to fall on his head.
Zhang Liangchuan was so ashamed that he slowly retracted his outstretched finger and asked in a voice as low as a mosquito: "So, all the brothers in this courtyard heard it?"
Lin Yuzan nodded silently, glanced at Zhang Liangchuan with a hint of helplessness, and said no more.
Zhang Liangchuan: ...
His body swayed slightly as if he couldn't bear it, and he looked at Lin Yuzan for help: "Brother Lin, what do you think of this matter? How can I remedy it?"
Lin Yuzan replied helplessly: "To be honest, last time Sister Qing said such nonsense about my appearance as Xiao Jianyuan, I could only let it go. You might as well ask your parents. After all, your father is Jingzhao Yin, and he has encountered more things than us."
In the end, Zhang Liangchuan could only leave with a bitter face and unsteady steps. He had never expected that his niece would cause such a big mess. Not only did she offend Ms. Zheng, but she also ruined his grandmother's reputation.
At that time, Wang Cheng finally came back. He glanced at the man's distraught and receding back, shook his head slightly, closed the door, and said to his old rival, "I'll go over to see Sister Qing. The Zhang family's little girl spoke so loudly just now. If she was scared, I'd like to calm her down."
Lin Yuzan: ...
"With me as your father, you don't have to worry about it, uncle."
Lin Yuzan stood up suddenly and was about to walk towards the entrance of the secret passage, but the next moment, his arm was tightly grabbed.
"Shun'an, there is no need for us to be so distant. After all, I am also half a doctor, and naturally I am more adept at this than you." Wang Cheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of teasing in his words.
"With your medical skills that can't even save a pig, you'd better not show them off to others." Lin Yuzan retorted mercilessly.
After saying that, the two looked at each other, and a brief spark instantly burst out in the air.
But in a moment, a noisy sound came from the house, mixed with Lin Yuzan's roar: "Wang Shuzhi..."
Everyone in Hanqiuyuan: ..., here they come again
When Xiao Yining heard this familiar voice, she turned her head and looked in the direction of Hanqiu Courtyard: "Madam Zhao, my father and uncle are arguing again."
Zhao Ya was interrupted and replied nonchalantly, "The master has a good relationship with his uncle, so there is no need for you to worry."
Then, she continued, "Miss, Miss Leng behaves erratically. If you meet her in the future, you should avoid her so as not to be troubled by her."
"That's right, Miss. Look at Miss Zhang. After spending some time with Miss Leng, she became the type who is influenced by the company of others." Qiu Yi also echoed.
Little Yining nodded obediently, but Qiu Yi's words also reminded her that before she left, the heroine did not have a good reputation and was often ridiculed by others, but today it seemed that things had improved a little.
Thinking of this, the little kid said, "Sister Qiuyi, go ask Sister Leng if she has ever done anything bad?"
Qiu Yi nodded in agreement immediately after hearing this, and patted her chest vigorously and said, "Miss, I will go and find out everything that Miss Leng has done. You must believe what Aunt Zhao says."
After saying this, she ran out immediately.
At this moment, Zhao Ya shouted, "Qiu Yi, tell Ms. Zheng that my old sister wants to ask her for advice on raising a child."
Qiu Yi responded quickly and left in a hurry.
Zhao Ya looked at the impetuous little figure and shook her head helplessly. Then she noticed that the young master's eyes were full of doubts, so she said, "Miss, I used to work in the palace with Ms. Zheng. The relationship we had was not something that ordinary people could compare to. It was very deep!"
Xiao Yining:......, are you sure?
She remembered that every time Ms. Zheng met Madam Zhao, she seemed to be gnashing with hatred.
"Madam Zhao, Ms. Zheng is grandma's great benefactor. Sister Qing must thank her very much!" The little girl responded with a smile.
Zhao Ya showed a teachable yet calculating look in her eyes and said approvingly, "Miss, you should really thank her!"
Before he finished speaking, a barely perceptible noise was heard from behind Xiao Yining's bed. The next moment, Wang Cheng's gentle and elegant voice rang out in the room.
"Who is Sister Qing going to thank?"
Xiao Yining turned around in surprise, only to see Wang Cheng lifting the curtain that separated them and walking towards her.
She quickly glanced at the faint footprint on her uncle's clothes, and answered without hesitation: "Uncle, Sister Qing wants to thank Ms. Zheng, and Madam Zhao has asked Sister Qiuyi to call her!"
Wang Cheng was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "She really should be thanked. My uncle should also thank her."
However, it is inconvenient at this time.
He pondered secretly, and at the same time raised his eyes to look at his niece and taught her: "Since you want to thank someone, Sister Qing should go there in person."
Xiao Yining smiled embarrassedly. She understood the truth, but when Zhao Ya said that Lady Zheng would owe her a favor, she was tempted!
Wang Cheng didn't know about this. He walked to the little girl and naturally stretched out his hand to feel her pulse. He said, "It's just that what Miss Zhang said was her grandmother's guess. If Sister Qing rashly goes to thank her, it will bring trouble to Lady Zheng, so what Madam Zhao did is right."
This statement was echoed by Zhao Ya: "My uncle is right. This matter involves the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother is recovering from illness, if this matter gets to her ears, I'm afraid Zheng will be charged with disobeying the order."
Xiao Yining nodded in understanding. She was still taking things for granted and didn’t analyze things deeply. She should change this habit!
At this time, Wang Cheng had already put down the little boy's wrist and sat beside him. He asked Zhao Ya humbly, "Madam Zhao, you once worked in the palace with Ms. Zheng. I wonder if you can tell me in detail what happened at that time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yining glanced upwards inadvertently, and saw 13's foot on the crossbar, swinging around in boredom.
13 noticed the little girl's gaze, glanced at her coldly, then turned around and ignored her.
Xiao Yining: Last time, Sister San didn’t expose her peeping, so this time she probably won’t mention that Uncle asked about her past secrets, right?
While the little boy was thinking, Zhao Ya's words rang out hesitantly.
