The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

The prince was punished by Emperor Yao because of a dam breach and he was punished by Emperor Yao for three days of self-reflection in closed doors in the East Palace.

Even though he made such a serious mistake, Emperor Yao still took into account his status as the prince and did not punish him too severely.

However, his behavior aroused discussion among some courtiers, but these controversies soon subsided.

Although the dyke burst caused serious damage to several villages downstream.

Fortunately, the imperial court began to pay attention to the impact of the floods and quickly took effective measures.

Emperor Yao ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to promptly allocate money and relief grains for disaster relief. Under Huo Yunjue's supervision, the government did not dare to slack off, so the follow-up matters for resettling the victims were progressing smoothly.

With the help of these measures, Nan Yao Kingdom successfully solved the disaster.

At the same time, in order to gain a reputation as a virtuous man, the second prince took the initiative to offer to Emperor Yao to donate money from his private treasury to help the victims.

In addition, he also planned to personally set up a donation office on the main street of Kyoto City, calling on dignitaries and businessmen to come and donate money.

Emperor Yao was very pleased with his proposal. He greatly appreciated his sensibleness and his ability to share the country's worries, and happily gave him permission to go to the private sector to raise donations.

After the dispersion of the dynasty, the second prince first solicited donations from the courtiers he had won over.

Although these officials were dissatisfied, they could only reluctantly donate their savings in order not to offend the second prince.

For this reason, several officials had a big quarrel with their wives, which caused a lot of gossip.

Ninghou Mansion, Xiyuan.

When Ning Ziqing woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Yinxiang fed her the medicine and handed her a snack jar filled with candied fruits.

Ning Ziqing held the jar and kept eating.

At this time, Su Yanqi came in to check her pulse and snatched the jar from her hand.

"Give me two more." Ning Ziqing reached out to grab it, but Su Yanqi quickly handed it to Yinxiang and took it away.

"The medicine is not bitter. You are not allowed to eat so many sweets in the future." Su Yanqi reminded her with a serious face.

"I can't taste anything in my mouth. If I don't eat sweets, I have no appetite." Ning Ziqing muttered dissatisfiedly.

Su Yanqi frowned and persuaded her in a soft tone: "You should cultivate for a while. When you recover, your taste will return to normal."

Ning Ziqing nodded obediently: "Okay, I understand, but I'm a little hungry now. I want to eat pastries."

"No!" Su Yanqi flatly refused and fed her the ginseng soup that had been left to cool down.

Ning Ziqing curled her lips, took the bowl in his hand and drank heavily.

Seeing that her complexion had recovered a lot, Su Yanqi breathed a sigh of relief and told her carefully:

"Qingqing, you have to pay special attention to your diet in the future. I have written a recipe that will help you take care of your body and give it to Yinxiang. From now on, you are not allowed to eat cold food or sweets, let alone drink alcohol!"

Just when Ning Ziqing was about to argue, Su Yanqi sternly warned: "If you want to fool me, I will send a nanny to watch you and teach you the rules!"

Ning Ziqing was stunned and complained: "What fun is there in a life like this? Is there no need to discuss it?"

Su Yanqi pursed her lips and snickered: "No need to discuss!"

Ning Zi's face collapsed and he was so angry.

Su Yanqi added: "Also, you can't go out recently, stay in Xiyuan to recuperate. I have told your elder brother that he will send people to guard outside Xiyuan, and Yaoyao will also keep an eye on you!"

After saying that, he motioned for her to stretch out her hand and feel her pulse.

Ning Ziqing was annoyed by what he said and moved his hands away angrily, unwilling to cooperate.

Su Yanqi forcefully took her hand to check her pulse, but Ning Ziqing resisted and pulled against him.

Su Yanqi subconsciously raised his left hand to stop Ning Ziqing, but accidentally touched the wound.

Feeling the pain, Su Yanqi snorted and quickly hid his left hand in his sleeve.

"Shichiro-kun, what's wrong with your hand?"

Ning Ziqing noticed something strange about him, asked him in surprise, and came over to grab his left hand.

Su Yanqi immediately stood up, stayed away from the bed and said calmly: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury."

Ning Ziqing didn't believe it, so she lifted the quilt and got out of bed to check his injuries.

In order to avoid her, Su Yanqi walked out quickly and almost bumped into Ning Zijun who came to visit.

Ning Zijun stood firm and looked at the two of them doubtfully: "What's wrong with you?"

"Brother, Shichiro-kun is injured. He won't show me the wound. Can you quickly see if he is seriously injured?"

Ning Ziqing shouted hurriedly.

Ning Zijun was surprised and was about to ask Su Yanqi.

Su Yanqi quickly put his left hand behind his back, strode past him and walked out.

Ning Zijun helplessly shrugged at Ning Ziqing and went in to help her lie back on the bed to rest.

Soon it was noon, and two servants brought lunch.

Yinxiang arranged the dishes for Ning Zijun and Su Yanqi in the outer room, then took another meal cooked for Ning Ziqing alone and entered the inner room.

After lunch, Su Yanqi and Ning Zijun drank tea and chatted.

During this period, Ahu came to report, and the second prince sent someone to ask for a meeting with Ning Zijun.

Ning Zijun sneered, guessing the second prince's intention, and waved his hand to Ahu to send him away.

Su Yanqi heard from him about the second prince's request for donations earlier in the morning, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "This time, the fourth prince, regardless of his own safety, was so busy rescuing the victims that he did not ask for credit from your majesty. The second prince is better off. His majesty was so happy with these words. He wanted to show off and earn a reputation, but secretly he wanted to make plans for us. His calculations were really loud!"

Ning Zijun took a sip of tea and looked solemn: "I have already left the family property to Qingqing to take care of. What is his purpose in finding me?"

Su Yanqi was slightly startled and said angrily: "He has really good intentions. Not only does he want to test your attitude, but he also wants you to donate money. Previously, the Fu family loved Qingqing very much and did not count the rare treasures sent to the Hou Mansion. Quite a few. The entire capital knows about the Fu family’s strong financial resources. I’m afraid you and Qingqing won’t be able to escape this time. Just donate more or less, so you have to be aware of it.”

Ning Zijun put down the tea cup and looked out the door with a cold face.

He knew that the second prince would not easily let go of the two brothers and the Fu family this time.

After pondering for a moment, he hummed: "It is natural to donate, but I don't want to donate it in the hands of his second prince."

Su Yanqi raised his eyes and asked, "Then what are your plans?"

Ning Zijun shook his head and sighed softly: "Let me think about it again."

"What are you thinking about? I have an idea now, do you want to hear it?

Ning Ziqing, who was in the back room, suddenly walked out and said that she had actually been leaning at the door and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two for a while, and she could not bear the second prince's despicable methods.

There is no way to get a large sum of money from her.

Ning Zijun and Su Yanqi looked at each other and asked curiously: "Tell me what a good idea it is?"

Ning Ziqing came over and told the two of them her thoughts in a good-natured way.

After hearing her clever plan, the two of them were stunned for a moment. Ning Zijun hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but worry: "Will this lose our identity?"

Ning Ziqing put her hands on her hips and sneered: "Brother, don't come forward. Let me and Qilangjun do it. As business people, what's wrong with doing this? I'm thick-skinned and not afraid, so I'll just fight back."

When Su Yanqi heard this, he immediately laughed out loud.

Seeing her arrogant look, Ning Zijun couldn't laugh or cry. He grabbed her ears and scolded her softly: "You little naughty boy, you are thinking of all kinds of crazy ideas in your head all day long."

Ning Ziqing hugged his hand and shouted unconvincingly: "Oh, please be gentle, how can you say that about your sister? I am obviously a little beauty who is extremely smart and as beautiful as a fairy!"

Ning Zijun: "..."

Su Yanqi tried hard to hold back her laughter and persuaded: "Okay, Zijun, let go quickly. I think Qingqing's method is feasible, and I will let Qingxu and the others do it now."

Ning Zijun snorted, retracted his hand, and smiled happily: "Look at how well-matched you two are. It will be great to run the two businesses together after you get married. I don't have to worry anymore."

Su Yanqi stopped smiling and turned to Ning Ziqing.

Ning Ziqing's face froze and she looked away awkwardly: "Um...I don't feel comfortable. I went in and lay down."

After saying that, she ran into the back room in despair.

Ning Zijun was furious when he saw her deliberately avoiding her. Just when he was about to comfort Su Yanqi, the concierge came to report that there were several ladies who wanted to see Ning Ziqing.

Ning Zijun was furious: "If you don't see me, just say that the third lady is sick and needs to recuperate and cannot be disturbed."

The concierge replied in embarrassment: "But the two leaders are official ladies from the Lin Mansion and the Cao Mansion."

Ning Zijun's eyes lit up: "Is that young lady from the Lin Mansion called Lin Wanqiao?"

The concierge nodded.

Ning Zijun coughed lightly, then changed his words and told the concierge: "Miss Lin is on good terms with the third lady, please come in quickly."

"What about the other ladies?" the concierge asked in a low voice.

Ning Zijun glanced at him displeased and reprimanded: "If you don't invite me in together, are you going to kick me out? Do you want me to teach you how to treat guests in the Marquis Mansion?"

The porter was so frightened that he quickly admitted his mistake: "You deserve to die, Your Majesty, please calm down. I will go and invite some ladies in now."

Ning Zijun waved his hand to order him to leave, the anger on his face still lingering.

Su Yanqi stood up and reminded him: "Zijun, let's go. They are all boudoir ladies. They must have private things to say with Qingqing. It is not appropriate for us to continue to stay here."

Ning Zijun hummed, got up and left Xiyuan with him.
