The daily routine of the mistress of the Hou family training her husband

Chapter 140 Solution
"It's absolutely true." The servant bent over and smiled flatteringly, "The man said that if he was given five days, he would send the girl from the Zhou family to the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion clean and sound. He only asked the young master to let him and his wife go."

Xue Yi snorted coldly, "She's quite sensible. If the young lady from the Zhou family had obeyed me earlier, there wouldn't be any trouble today."

"That's right. For a merchant family like the Zhou family, it's a blessing for their daughter to marry into a marquis's mansion after accumulating merits in several lifetimes." The servant hurriedly flattered them.

Xue Yi was pleased with himself and waved his hand to let him leave.

To say how much he likes Zhou Ling, that’s not the case. She is pretty, but with Xue Yi’s status, what kind of pretty girl can he not want?
It was just that he failed to do it last year and felt embarrassed, so he couldn't vent his anger and kept it in his heart.

Now Chen Zhi said that he could persuade the Zhou family to send Zhou Ling to her as a concubine. For Xue Yi, this meant that the other party had surrendered, so he was naturally happy.

Originally, he was planning to lock up Xu Shuhe and use this as a threat to get Zhou Ling into his hands.

Chen Zhi took the initiative to offer it, which saved him the trouble.

Yuanbao Lane.

Xu Shuhe paced back and forth in the room until he heard familiar footsteps outside. He was suddenly delighted and immediately trotted to the door, just in time to meet Chen Zhi.

Without caring about anything else, Xu Shuhe immediately stepped forward and reached out to check if Chen Zhi was injured.

"Are you okay? Is it resolved? Did they not use force on you?"

"It's okay." Chen Zhi held her hand and patted it gently to comfort her. "I made up an excuse and it's stable for now. What about you? The situation was urgent just now, and I didn't take a close look to see if you were injured."

Xu Shuhe shook his head. "Xinyue was beaten on the face by them. I asked Meixiang to see a doctor. She has been asked to rest now. I am fine."

Although she said so, Chen Zhi still noticed that there were several broken skin spots on the back of her hands, especially the joints, which were all red.

He quickly held her hand in front of his eyes and asked, "How did you do this?"

"When I was protecting Xinyue, I was accidentally stepped on by the servants. It's not a big deal." Xu Shuhe was not squeamish and hurriedly pulled Chen Zhi into the house. "Tell me what excuse you made to stabilize Xue Er. There won't be any trouble, right?"

Chen Zhi then recounted what had just happened in detail.

After hearing this, Xu Shuhe frowned tightly, "That bastard is really still obsessed with Ling'er, don't you have a plan?"

It is absolutely impossible to give Zhou Ling to Xue Yi as a concubine, and it is even impossible to put Zhou Ling in danger.

But since Chen Zhi dared to use this excuse to temporarily stabilize the other party, there must be a solution.

"Princess Fukang takes her daughter, Princess Jinrong, to Qiyun Temple to burn incense and pray every month. It will be in exactly two days. Then may be an opportunity to resolve this matter." Chen Zhi said in a low voice.

Xu Shuhe frowned, "I have heard of this princess. She is the elder sister of the current emperor. When the princess travels, there must be many guards. I am afraid we cannot get close to her."

"No." Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "According to what I have learned recently, the eldest princess was deeply grieving because her husband died young, and she refused to remarry for her only daughter. For so many years, she has been vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures, wearing plain clothes and hair, and traveling in a low profile. It is said that the abbot of Qiyun Temple asserted that as long as she practiced celibacy and prayed for her husband in this life, they can be husband and wife again in the next life."

"But Princess Jinrong is still a virgin. Will our plan hurt her reputation?" Xu Shuhe frowned, still feeling that something was wrong.

Chen Zhi chuckled, "The eldest princess is a vegetarian and a Buddhist, cultivating her character, but she dotes on her only daughter, making her unruly and domineering. I'm afraid that only this princess can control Xue Yi."

After he finished speaking, he pulled Xu Shuhe closer to her and whispered his plan to her.

Just as we were getting ready, Lin Hui and Zhou Ling came over.

The clerks in Zhou's store also saw what happened on the street. After they reported it, Lin Hui was worried and came over immediately.

Seeing that the couple was fine, she was relieved. But Lin Hui was smart and didn't think Xue Yi would let them go so easily, so she asked a lot of questions.

There was no way to hide it, so Chen Zhi and Xu Shuhe had to explain to their aunt how they would deal with the matter.

This move naturally involves some risk, but Chen Zhi cannot ask the Fifth Prince for help with every matter, so it would be better for him to solve it himself this time.

Lin Hui had no choice but to nod in agreement, and went over the plan with the younger generations to make it more comprehensive.

After doing all this, Chen Zhi sent someone to pass on a message, saying that he had arranged for Xue Yi and the girl to meet in the meditation room of Qiyun Temple, and that someone would pick them up at that time.

Xue Yi did not suspect any trick and agreed.

Two days later, Xu Shuhe waited at the gate of Qiyun Temple early in the morning for Princess Fukang and Princess Jinrong to arrive.

As Chen Zhi said, Princess Fukang traveled simply, bringing only two maids, and Princess Jinrong was accompanied by only one person.

In fact, for people of their status, their carriages are different from those of ordinary officials. In the capital, anyone who is not a fool can tell at a glance that this is a royal carriage. Therefore, even if they travel in a low-key manner, no one dares to provoke them. At the Qiyun Temple, the eldest princess is a frequent visitor, and the abbot personally comes out to receive her.

It was obvious that Princess Jinrong was very impatient. Sure enough, after accompanying the eldest princess to burn incense, the eldest princess went to the meditation room to chat with the abbot, and Princess Jinrong went out for a stroll.

It was at this time that Xu Shuhe came into her sight wearing a gorgeous dress that had never been seen in Beijing.

Next, he naturally pretended to have just seen Princess Jinrong, bowed respectfully, and then led the topic to clothes. He then brought out his identity as the shopkeeper of Yunshang Pavilion, and then borrowed the name of the Lin family, a famous partner of wealthy merchants in Beijing, and successfully made Princess Jinrong deeply interested.

Finally, Xu Shuhe expressed her desire to make a unique dress for Princess Jinrong, so that the elegant Princess Jinrong could become her living signboard.

Anyway, she had nothing to do, and Princess Jinrong came to Qiyun Temple once a month. She was tired of visiting there, so she nodded and followed Xu Shuhe to the Zen room to prepare to measure the size.

Xu Shuhe also managed to get rid of the maidservant beside Princess Jinrong, and asked Meixiang to go out and inform her, and then he found an excuse to leave temporarily.

Seeing the right opportunity, Chen Zhi ordered someone to bring Xue Yi to the meditation room.

Soon, there was a big commotion in the meditation room of Qiyun Temple.

When everyone rushed over after hearing the news, they saw Xue Yi lying on the ground with a bloody head, unconscious. Next to his head were broken porcelain pieces, and it looked like he was hit hard on the head by the watermelon-sized vase. Princess Jinrong was furious and was quickly tidying up her torn clothes.

The news that the second son of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion molested Princess Jinrong and was knocked unconscious by her quickly spread.

Princess Fukang doted on her only daughter, Jinrong, extremely. In addition, Princess Jinrong was always spoiled and unruly, so the mother and daughter immediately went to the palace to file a complaint to the emperor.

The Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion was extremely anxious and wanted to plead for mercy, but it was indeed their son's fault.

She wanted to ask her daughter who was in the Eastern Palace to plead for mercy, but Concubine Xue didn't dare to do that!
The Crown Prince has just managed to get out of the corruption case with great difficulty, and he still dares not show his face in front of the Emperor. Now that her brother has caused this mess and reported it to the Emperor, I'm afraid the Crown Prince will be scolded as well.

Marquis Cheng'en was not stupid. He naturally thought that no matter how brave his son was, he would not dare to provoke the princess. He ordered people to investigate and discovered what was happening on Chen Zhi's side.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, he was told that Chen Zhi was the Fifth Prince's man, and that the girl from the Zhou family had indeed gone to the Qiyun Temple that day, but Xue Yi somehow went to Princess Jinrong's room by mistake.

The Fifth Prince has now formed an alliance with the Crown Prince.
What this means is that he has to suffer in silence, and it can only be considered that Xue Yi was the one who caused the trouble.

The more important thing at the moment is to calm Princess Fukang's anger.

Everyone thought this matter would continue for some time, but what they didn't expect was that Xue Yi became stupid.

The doctor said that the blow to the head was too severe and there might be no way for the patient to recover.
