Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 121, accident! (two more)
Zheng Ying withdrew from the tea room where Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Liang were talking, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The Mrs. Liang looked at her with a straightforward personality, but Zheng Ying was very uncomfortable with the occasional look at her.
This kind of gaze, Zheng Ying has felt many times these days - it is a look of contempt, ridicule, and disdain.
Many people, even though they were friendly and even flattering to her on the surface, turned their faces and pouted at her in a place where she couldn't see them.
It's like a lot of people, even if Leng Mingyue can't even keep his fiancée even if they say sarcastic jokes on the surface, but at most they can only ridicule and pity a few words of schadenfreude, they won't use it in secret (River Crab) The woman's eyes looked at Leng Mingyue.
Zheng Ying looked a little sad. She knew that no matter how proud she was on the surface, her reputation and eyes would follow her for many years.
But...she can't regret it, she has made a choice and can only keep going. What's more, it would be even more difficult for her to accept it if she didn't even have the superficial beauty, and she lived hopelessly guarding Fu Fengcheng like Leng Mingyue.
Turn around and walked out of the yard. The Fu family's huge garden is naturally not small, and it took a lot of thought back then. The natural scenery in the garden is beautiful and the flowers and trees are prosperous, which is not inferior to the royal garden.
It's just that Zheng Ying doesn't have the heart to appreciate the beauty in front of her, and she doesn't dare to go too far, lest Mrs. Fu send someone to look for her when she can't find anyone.
"Young madam, let's go back and rest for a while?" Chunjuan whispered while supporting Zheng Ying.
Zheng Ying shook her head and pointed to the pavilion in front, "Let's go and sit for a while."
Seeing her appearance, Chunjuan couldn't help complaining, "The young lady is too irresponsible. I leave everything to you, and I don't know where I went."
The young lady has a big belly to cope with a large group of guests, and she has to pour tea and water beside her, but the healthy young lady doesn't know where she went.
Zheng Ying's smile is a bit bitter. The young lady can leave because she doesn't care about it. She doesn't plan to make friends with these noble ladies to gain their favor, and she is not afraid that Mrs. Fu will not like her.
But she can't.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. You can also arrange the young lady?" Zheng Ying whispered.
Chunjuan was a little unconvinced, "It's true, the young lady doesn't say to help you take care of it on this occasion."
Why does Leng Mingyue help her?
Mrs. Fu's attitude was clearly stated, if it wasn't for the fear of outsiders talking about such a banquet, I would not want Leng Sa to attend.
With such an attitude, how many of those winking ladies would risk making Mrs. Fu unhappy to befriend Leng Mingyue? Leng Mingyue obviously understands this very well, so she doesn't get involved in this by watching the whole process.
This way everyone will not have to be embarrassed.
"Fourth Young Madam." The two men walked into the pavilion before they could sit down when a cold female voice came from behind them.
This voice was firmly in Zheng Ying's mind when she heard it for the first time. After all, there are not many women in this world whose voices are so arrogant, cold and strong, and there is also a trace of contempt that belongs to Zheng Ying in that strong voice.
"Princess Chaoyang." Zheng Ying turned around, smiled and nodded to Xiao Nanjia who came over.
Xiao Nanjia frowned and looked at her, "Do you know where Leng Sa went?"
Zheng Ying was stunned, "The princess is looking for sister-in-law? Sister-in-law never came back, and I don't know where she went."
Xiao Nanjia gave Zheng Ying a dissatisfied look, her eyes seemed to say "Why are you so useless".
Zheng Ying looked at Xiao Nanjia with a smile, as if she hadn't noticed her disdain for him at all.
"Maybe my sister-in-law is tired and go back to rest first, right? If the princess is in a hurry, why not send someone to the sister-in-law's courtyard to ask?"
Xiao Nanjia snorted lightly, glanced at Zheng Ying and turned away.
"I really don't know what to be proud of as a down-and-out princess!" Seeing Zheng Ying being wronged, Chunjuan couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
In addition to the really powerless and powerless little people, not many people really put the royal family in their eyes these days.
Don't say it's a princess, even if it's a prince, if he can't inherit the throne in the future, if he is lucky, he can get a prince position and receive a fixed fee every month. However, the annual fee allocated by the cabinet to the royal family is fixed. If the emperor has more children or spends more, the money that everyone will share will naturally be less.
As for the princess, there is nothing but a nice name and a dowry when she gets married. Even the title and treatment of the princess will be withdrawn after marriage and only keep the title of a princess.
Just like Xiao Nanjia, after getting married, others can still call her princess, but there is no word for Chaoyang.
Zheng Ying looked calm and said lightly: "Don't say it, it's not good for people to hear, I heard that the royal family intends to marry the Zhang family."
"Yes, young lady."
"Aying!" Mrs. Zheng followed a girl hurriedly over, and she was relieved to see Zheng Ying sitting in the pavilion.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Zheng's expression was solemn. She glanced around and saw that no one was passing by before pulling Zheng Ying in a low voice, "Aying, something happened to your uncle!"
"Uncle?" Zheng Ying was taken aback for a moment, only then did she realize who Madam Zheng was talking about.
Mrs. Zheng's real surname Xue was originally from a merchant family in six southern provinces, but she did not expect that her husband would gradually rise to prosperity after marrying Zheng Ying's father, Zheng Lian. Zheng Lian's career has been smooth in these years without the help of the Xue family. After the Zheng family got up, Zheng Lian did not forget to support his Yue family.
Xue Bin is Mrs. Zheng's eldest brother, and his ability is not bad. Over the years, he has gradually achieved the position of Deputy Secretary of the Customs Department. If there are no accidents, he may be able to take the position of the Chief of the Customs Department in two years.
"What happened to my uncle?" Zheng Ying asked.
Mrs. Zheng anxiously said, "The news from Chunyan just now said... your uncle has been arrested."
"Who is so brave to arrest someone casually?" Zheng Ying was a little confused for a while, and glanced at the girl standing beside Mrs. Zheng, "Chunyan, you start from the beginning!"
Chunyan's face was dazed and terrified, "Little...Miss, I don't know either. Just now, my uncle and wife called...and said that my uncle and master were taken away by someone who suddenly broke into the door early in the morning."
"Who?" Zheng Ying asked with a frown, very dissatisfied with the girl's vague answer.
Chunyan said tremblingly, "It seems... it seems to be someone from the police... police station."
The office of the Customs Administration is not located in Yongcheng, but has an office in Jiangcheng and Luozhou, which are close to the sea ports. The General Administration of Yongcheng does not care about any specific business.
Xue Bin is the deputy chief in charge of Luozhou Customs, but even if he is far away in Luozhou, who does not know that he is the eldest brother-in-law of the Zheng family, how dare the Luozhou police station arbitrarily arrest people for no reason?
Zheng Ying immediately remembered what happened yesterday, which is too coincidental.
Yesterday Xue Bin just sued Fu Fengcheng and was arrested today?
Mrs. Zheng was already at a loss, "Aying, what should I do? Let's go and beg your mother-in-law? Madam Fu must have a solution!"
"Mother!" Zheng Ying quickly grabbed Madam Zheng, "Mother, don't worry! Let's find out what's going on before we can talk to Madam."
Mrs. Zheng nodded in panic, "You're right, you're right! What else did the sister-in-law say on the phone? Did you say why the arrest was made?"
Chunyan whispered, "Those people... said that Uncle and Master detained the customs clearance goods privately, accepted bribes, and... and smuggled profits."
"How could that be? Big brother would never do such a thing!" Madam Zheng burst into tears, pulling Zheng Ying and saying, "Aying, you must save your uncle, he must have been framed!"
Zheng Ying's heart sank. She didn't know whether the other charges were true or false. But... the batch of goods from the former Wei family did not feel that the goods were wrong, as my uncle said to the outside world, and detained the goods for inspection, but... deliberately detained the goods for Changxiu's troubles, and found that the contents were not right. It was an accident.
Zheng Ying wondered if Xue Bin had done this kind of thing for the first time.
If...the Wei family insists on this one...
Zheng Ying suddenly remembered something. It stands to reason that Fu Fengcheng was fined for buying equipment privately, but Dujun Fu didn't make any statement about Wei Changxiu who helped him buy and transport things. This is obviously abnormal.
Could it be that Du Jun Fu didn't want to offend her just because the Wei family had a great career?
Zheng Ying shook her head, no.
"Aying?" Seeing Zheng Ying standing motionless, Mrs. Zheng shook her head from time to time, not knowing what she was thinking, and couldn't help but get a little anxious, "What are you thinking about? Your uncle..."
Zheng Ying frowned, "Mother, I got it! Let me think about it. Does my father know the news?"
"I have already sent someone to send a message to your father, should I know by now?"
Zheng Ying nodded, "I see, don't worry, I'll go to Yucheng first."
"Aren't you looking for Mrs. Fu?" Even Mrs. Zheng knew that Fu Yucheng didn't have any real power now, and the one who could really speak was Mrs. Fu.
Zheng Ying's face darkened slightly, "Madam is talking to Dushuai Liang's wife now, do you want me to go in and talk to her about this? Don't worry, my uncle will be fine in a while, and you will be fine. The lady of the city will be able to talk a little better."
Mrs. Zheng had no other choice, so she sighed and said, "Okay, listen to you. Come on, I have to go back to see your father and see what your father plans to do." Speaking of which, Mrs. Zheng I couldn't help but reddened my eyes and wiped away tears, "How could this happen? Your uncle must have been wronged!"
Mrs. Zheng has had a good relationship with her brother since she was a child, and now she has been panicking.
Zheng Ying sighed in her heart, raised her hand and pressed her forehead, resisting the feeling of dizziness to stay awake.
"Mother, don't worry. Uncle will be fine." Zheng Ying looked at Madam Zheng and said softly.
Although she said that, Zheng Ying's mood became more and more gloomy for some reason.
