Chapter 711 No Urgent Order
The timing was right, and Zhuang Wei took the opportunity to follow his father's instructions and sincerely apologize to her.
"Master Gao, I'm sorry."
Qiu Bi turned pale and stepped back repeatedly.
"After apologizing, you can't do anything wrong."
Zhuang Wei tried to comfort her in a gentle voice.
"Don't panic, Mr. Gao. I won't do anything rash."
After going through so many things, Qiu Bi has changed and is now determined and resolute.
"Don't try to fool me. I don't believe it."
"You pretended to be nice first, so that Mr. Zhuang thought you were going to pursue your true love. Then, you used Miss Teng to pass on the message and inform our princess. In fact, you did this to relax their guard so that you could take advantage of the opportunity and sneak in."
"I can see through your thoughts. I will never fall for your tricks."
Zhuang Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that she could analyze a strategy.
"Why would I do this?"
"When you should be cautious, you are ignorant; when you shouldn't be on guard, you are defensive. You are really... Alas."
Qiu Bi was so frightened that her emotions were confused and her tone of voice collapsed.
"You still want to deceive me with lies? I don't want to hear it!"
"How can you be so unreasonable?"
She was wary and closed her eyes and ears to apologize sincerely, which Zhuang Wei could fully understand. He then changed his words and found another way to make her understand his intention.
There was a hint of slyness in his eyes, and he approached her mysteriously and silently, step by step, teasing her, sometimes hiding and sometimes showing his affection.
"Well, you guessed it right. I did use a trick."
"What can you do?"
"Call the guards of Yuexi Mansion to drive me out in public, so that everyone will know that I sneaked into Yuexi Mansion and arouse the emperor's suspicion?"
"What hatred do you have with my Zhuang family, Master Gao, that you want to ruthlessly wipe out our entire family?"
Qiu Bishi didn't want to hurt the princess's family, so he was at a loss and stood there in a daze.
"I……"
She was thinking urgently about how to deal with the situation. Finally, she bent her knees and knelt heavily.
"Master Zhuang, I beg you, please let me go, I beg you..."
Seeing this, Zhuang Wei couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.
After thinking for a long time, I thought she could come up with a brilliant idea, but in the end, this is it?
He quickly regained his composure, leaned down, and looked at her at eye level.
"Bi'er, you are still pure and innocent, and you are lovable."
"If you listen to me, I'll let you go, okay?"
Qiu Bi was frightened from the bottom of her heart and subconsciously hid back.
"Just tell me what you want to say. As long as it's not too much, I'll listen."
Zhuang Wei informed his demands.
"Go to Prince Dijin's mansion and ask my cousin to come back. Tell her that there is an urgent matter in the mansion and she needs to handle it personally."
Qiu Bi was stunned and her fear grew stronger.
"So simple? There won't be any traps, will there?"
Zhuang Wei responded calmly, and it was easy for him to grasp her mood.
"Bi'er wants to make it more complicated, play with me for a while, and then go and ask my cousin to come back home?"
His smile had no clear meaning.
"I'd love to. Tell me, how do you want to play?"
Qiu Bi trembled and cried out of fear.
"No, no, no, I'm going to Prince Dijin's mansion right now to ask the princess to come back."
"Master Zhuang, please take a seat and have some tea. Please wait a moment."
"I resign from my humble position."
Zhuang Wei sat down, neither cold nor indifferent, and handed over a silk handkerchief.
"Well, please take care, Mr. Gao."
Qiu Bi didn't dare to take the silk handkerchief, so she reached into her bosom and took out a handkerchief.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Zhuang. I have it myself."
Zhuang Wei took back the silk handkerchief and ate some tea in a leisurely manner.
Qiu Bi stood up, always on guard, left the room as if fleeing, and went to Prince Di Jin's palace.
At this moment, Chi You found out Yan Wu's identity and quickly went to Prince Di Jin's mansion to report.
Recognizing his father's carriage, Chi Yaokai personally greeted him and carefully led the way to Tong Pan's residence, Yuyeju.
Chi Yaokai retreated in time and did not enter. Chi You walked into the front hall of Yuyeju and saluted solemnly.
"May the prince be well and may the princess be well."
Tong Pan stayed in the bedroom, guarding Luo Yu, and was not here.
Yan Yu gave him a helpless hand.
"Please stand up, Mr. Chi, and take a seat."
Chi You took a seat as instructed.
"I have verified what the prince ordered."
Yan Yu nodded.
"Okay, my dear, please go ahead."
Chi You opened the book in his hand and reported respectfully.
"Luo Yu is from the southern suburbs of Shengjing. She is currently unemployed. She married Yan Wu and registered her marriage at the prefectural governor's office in Shuying County."
"The marriage certificate states that Yanwu is from Shuying County and is the legitimate son of the Tongshi Magistrate of Shuying County."
"Yan Ke, the copper official of Shuying County, has been found to have no children."
"It is recorded in the register of the people that Yanwu was from Tuobin County. His elder brother Yan Si, his younger sister Yichai, and his younger brother Yan Tang were all from Tuobin County."
Yan Yu listened carefully and made a decision quickly.
"So, there's something wrong with the marriage registration?"
"This is not good and can easily lead to adverse effects."
"Please, Lord Chi, notify the governor of Shuying County immediately and order them to correct the mistake. The governor of Shuying County will punish the offender as appropriate."
"In addition, the governor of Shengjing and the governor's attendant who was responsible for verifying the marriage certificate of Shuying County will be held accountable and punished according to the law."
Chi You lowered his eyebrows three points and bowed.
"I obey your order, but please understand clearly, Your Majesty."
"The governor who was in charge of the marriage certificate in Shuying County did nothing wrong. Because the governor of Shuying County reported the marriage certificate, there was nothing wrong with it; and there was nothing wrong with the governor's verification process."
"I sent an urgent letter to question the matter, and the governor replied to protest his injustice, saying that the one who started it was the copper magistrate of Shuying County."
Yan Yu was confused and felt annoyed.
"The registration of the state governor's office was wrong. What does it have to do with the Tongshi Office? It's just shirking responsibility."
"I guess this is another trick of the eight county offices fighting overtly and covertly. Shuying County is in chaos."
"Please ask Minister Chi to select a governor and a minister to go to Shuying County and correct the bad practices."
Chi You responded respectfully.
"The minister obeys the order."
Ning Yunxi is polite and well-mannered.
"Master Chi, please stay."
Chi Youqian asked respectfully.
"What do you want, Princess?"
Ning Yunxi smiled and gestured for invitation.
"Master Chi, please take a seat. I have something to tell you, brother."
According to Luo Yu's husband's family status, she changed her name.
"Madam Yan, you must have run into a swindler."
Yan Yu understood and was surprised.
"You mean, she was deceived into marriage?"
Ning Yunxi thought deeply and analyzed calmly.
"Ah."
"This Lord Yan, whose name is Yan Ke, may be a relative of Yan Wu. He may be influenced by him and they may have mutual interests, so he helps him take care of everything."
Yan Yu was a little at a loss.
"Then I will punish Yan Ke alone?"
Ning Yunxi made up her mind to make a choice.
"Brother, please don't rush to issue an order."
"I already know the general situation. I will ask Madam Yan for the details when she wakes up."
She smiled and faced Lord Chi.
"Please wait for a moment, Master Chi. Let me write down the civil records of the Yanwu family for future reference."
Chi You expressed his gratitude and presented the booklet.
"Please accept the book, Princess. I will go back and have someone write down another copy."
The book, with the seal of the governor, could be used as evidence of a fraudulent marriage if necessary. But if she copied it, it could only be used for inspection, without the seal, and would be ineffective.
Ning Yunxi thanked him deeply and accepted the booklet.
After Chi You left, Qiu Bi came to ask for a meeting.
"Princess, there is something urgent. Please go back to the palace to deal with it."
Yan Yu said immediately.
"Little sister, let me help you."
Qiu Bi looked panicked.
"what?"
Noticing her strange look, Ning Yunxi politely declined.
"Prince Li will be back in Beijing soon. He may plot against me at any time. Brother, you should not leave lightly."
"I'll be back soon, brother, please stay at home and wait for me."
Yan Yu responded.
"it is good."
