After a house full of cannon fodder read my voice, the whole family went crazy.

The young boy has already grown a lot in stature.

Wrapped in a black cloak embroidered with gold cloud patterns, he walked steadily from the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Behind him were Qiao Jingchen and Qiao Jinghan.

The expressions of the two brothers were very different. One was slightly worried, while the other was still full of joy.

"Madam, Prime Minister, I hope you won't be surprised if I come here uninvited."

The Ninth Prince walked up to Mrs. Chen and spoke to her, but his eyes fell on Qiao Wanshu.

With a casual move, eight servants immediately walked out from behind. They carried the box in pairs and placed it in front of Chen.

"This is a gift prepared by my prince to celebrate Ling'ai's first birthday. I wish her peace, happiness and success."

Mrs. Chen quickly thanked her, but thought of her daughter's evaluation of the Ninth Prince.

Don't get too close to this person. It will only bring disaster to the Qiao family, but no good.

"It's really a great honor for the Ninth Prince to come to my Qiao Mansion to attend my daughter's first birthday party. Jingchen, you must take good care of the Ninth Prince and don't neglect it."

She saw that the Ninth Prince's eyes were always circling Qiao Wanshu, and she thought something bad in her heart.

It was better to isolate the two of them as soon as possible. It would be hard for him to go to the backyard and get along with Shu'er among all the female relatives.

So in a few words, he handed over the Ninth Prince to Qiao Jingchen without mentioning that Qiao Wanshu would go to the door to greet guests again.

Instead, he took his daughter and turned around to go to the backyard flower hall.

She just returned to Mrs. Qiao when she saw Yingge hurried over and whispered in her ear: "Madam, there is news from the old general."

"He said there was some delay and he would have to come later."

"What can happen to my father?"

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she felt a little unhappy.

In the past, when he was at the border, he missed everything from the birth to the growth of her four sons.

Now that I have come back specifically for my granddaughter's first birthday party, she still has to be delayed for whatever reason. It's really unreasonable.

"If the fourth child can't come back because he's traveling with the prince, then that's it. My father clearly loves Shu'er very much and rushed back just for her. Could it be that he has to be absent due to something else?"

Although her complaints were not loud, Mrs. Qiao heard them all.

"Although General Chen came back for Shu'er's first birthday party, he still has an official position after all. Returning to the capital to report on his duties does not mean he is disarming and returning home. There are still various military affairs waiting for him to handle."

"You should also understand your father's difficulties, but you don't do it deliberately."

However, Qiao Wanshu trembled suddenly, got up from Chen's arms, and nervously grasped the skirt of her mother's clothes.

【No! I clearly heard my grandfather say that he had arranged for someone to check on the deputy general. 】

[Could it be that nothing was found and my grandfather was still assassinated? 】

"what!"

When Chen suddenly heard the bad news, he was shocked and blurted out subconsciously.

Only when he saw the surprised looks in Mrs. Qiao's and others' eyes did he realize that he had lost his composure.

He quickly pretended to be calm and said to Yingge: "I mean, did the person come tell me what my father was doing at that time? Was there something important that was delayed?"

Yingge shook her head and said: "It sounds like someone has caught some kind of spy and is interrogating him. Because the matter is so important, I didn't go into details."

Mrs. Chen felt a little relieved.

Qiao Wanshu was even more relieved.

[Phew, it’s okay! It must have been that Bai Mingfeng who found out the true identity of the deputy general. 】

[Who would have thought that a fourth prince from an enemy country could condescend to lurk in our country, and even climb all the way to the position of deputy general. 】

[If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid it will bring new hidden dangers to my grandfather and the Qiao family. 】

Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Chen were stunned at the same time.

They didn't expect that instead of getting better, things became more complicated.

But they were just a prostitute, and the matter involved an enemy country. They really couldn't find any suitable excuse to remind General Chen of the true identity of the spy he had captured.

While he was struggling, another maid hurriedly walked in from outside.

He reported to the two of them with a slightly panicked expression: "Old Madam, Madam, it's not good! Princess Minglai and the Ninth Prince had a dispute, and the quarrel in the front hall has become out of control!"

"What...what's going on!"

Madam Qiao suddenly stood up in shock and anger.

Due to excessive exertion, his eyes were dizzy and his body was on the verge of falling.

Fortunately, Mrs. Chen was there to help her stabilize her body.

"Mother, don't be impatient yet. The prime minister is still in the front hall and can take charge of the overall situation. Let's go over and have a look to see if we can be of any help."

She then said to the ladies and daughters in the flower hall: "Everyone, please be patient and wait here for a moment."

"Madam Prime Minister, there is a conflict between the Ninth Prince and Princess Minglai. How can we wait here in vain? It seems that we don't pay any attention to the royal family."

Someone took the lead and said something, but actually he wanted to see a joke.

These words made Chen unable to refute, so she could only turn around and follow Mrs. Qiao towards the front hall in a hurry.

"Sure enough, the bastards born from sluts do not know etiquette and lack of sense of shame."

"Although the Qiao family is just the residence of the Prime Minister and is no more honorable than my royal family. But they are also from a high-ranking family and are the ministers of our dynasty."

"How can a despicable bastard like you come here to taint our lintel?"

"Of course, if you are willing to kneel down and lick the dirt off my embroidered shoes, I might be able to say a few words for you if I feel better."

"Let the Qiao family not care about the humiliation you have given them."

Arrogant and domineering voices came from afar.

Even before they saw Princess Ming Lai's face, her domineering aura forced her to appear in front of everyone.

Qiao Wanshu automatically brought into her mind an image of a domineering, unreasonable and unforgiving person.

I couldn't hear anyone standing up and saying a word for the Ninth Prince, so I couldn't help but sympathize with him a little more.

[It turns out that dogs look down upon people, whether it happens among the people, in high-level courtyards, or in deep palaces. 】

[However, Princess Ming Lai will not be able to survive for a few days no matter how much she does evil and is arrogant and domineering just because she is the daughter of a noble concubine. 】

[Soon, she will be sent to the enemy country for marriage! When the time comes when the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, who can tolerate her princess disease! 】

[Those who flatter Princess Minglai and deliberately make things difficult for the Ninth Prince will not end well! 】

Qiao Wanshu paused suddenly, with a confused but suddenly enlightened look on her face.

【No! Those people met a tragic end. Could it be that they had grieved the Ninth Prince, so they were remembered by the Emperor and took revenge on them one by one? 】

[If you say so, then the Ninth Prince is definitely the Emperor’s pet peeve! 】

Several people in the Qiao family who could hear Qiao Wanshu's thoughts almost all glanced at the Ninth Prince calmly with strange eyes at the same time.
