She was too lazy to clean up after dressing up as a villain heroine

There were quite a few wounded this time, and the carriages that the Mo family had parked at Baoguo Temple were not enough. Most of them were brought out by Han Zheng from the Duke's Mansion.

"Don't worry, wait until you are settled."

Han Zheng turned back with two hundred guards and walked towards the front gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Qiao Zhenzhen instructed Xia Xiang to arrange the personnel, and then the mother and daughter walked into the mansion hand in hand, affectionately, and got on sedan chairs respectively, going to Mingde Hall together.

Knowing that she was coming home today, everyone in the family gathered in Mingde Hall to prepare dinner together.

When Qiao Zhenzhen arrived, she first paid her respects to her father, and then bowed to her eldest brother and sister-in-law, as well as her second brother.

My sister-in-law's face was still sallow. This childbirth had caused her great damage. After several months of recuperation, her strength had not recovered. The doctor who treated her told her not to have any more children in the next five years, otherwise it would be dangerous to her life. Fortunately, she already had two sons.

Both of Mo Tingyi's concubines were pregnant, so Yuan married off the maidservant named Xiumei who came with the dowry and made her a concubine for her husband to use.

Qiao Zhenzhen remained silent on this.

Yuan Jiahui is a local woman with her own value system, and this behavior is just routine.

Just respect each other.

Mo Tingjin's wedding had to be held before Qiao Zhenzhen's, so it was scheduled for the end of April. The weather wasn't too hot, so it wouldn't be too tiring. It was also three months apart from the second wedding in August, so the family wouldn't be too busy hosting two weddings in a row.

Mo Tingjin came up to her and said indignantly, "Shenghua County Princess is really a lunatic. She can act so recklessly despite my father's status. Little sister, have you heard that she has been taken to the Dali Temple and will be sentenced after the New Year? This time, His Majesty will definitely not let her off easily. This crazy woman has done too many evil things before, and this time she will be punished all at once!"

Mo Qingyang frowned and gently scolded Mo Tingjin, "Your sister is tired from the journey, don't bother her."

Mo Tingjin looked cowardly, shrank back and shut his mouth.

Qiao Zhenzhen smiled and walked forward to hold Mo Qingyang's arm, "Dad, my second brother is about to get married, so please stop talking about him. Especially in front of my second sister-in-law, you have to give him some face in the future."

With his sister's support, Mo Tingjin immediately recovered and came up to him and said, "Dad, my sister is right. I'm getting married soon, and you're still lecturing me. How can I still have the dignity of a husband in front of Yuzhu?"

Mo Qingyang treats his son and daughter in completely different ways. No one has inherited his intelligence, so he looks down on them, but he can't help it, so his attitude is inevitably a little bad.

Qiao Zhenzhen nodded at him. He even called Yuzhu. This was a good development.

"If you want to be a husband with dignity, then study hard and at least pass the imperial examination." Mo Qingyang said, "With the family background of the Ge family, if you are just a scholar, do you think Yuzhu will be able to hold her head up high among the sisters in the future?"

"Dad, my second brother is not a scholar yet." Qiao Zhenzhen reminded him.

Mo Tingjin quickly glared at her, trying to stop her from adding fuel to the fire.

Mo Qingyang just felt a tightness in his chest. He passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen and ranked first.

As for his sons, one had a headache when studying, and the other, at the age of seventeen, could not even pass the examination for a student. The smartest and most like him was a daughter...

Mrs. Wu quickly came to the rescue, "Alright, alright, stop chatting and go to the canteen. Zhenzhen must be hungry after walking for so long."

Mo Qingyang sighed slightly, and let his wife and daughter hold his arm as they walked towards the dining hall.

After dinner, Qiao Zhenzhen did not rush to Xuefu Courtyard to rest, but followed Mo Qingyang to the study. This was the first conversation between father and daughter since the attack on Baoguo Temple.

Qiao Zhenzhen first talked about the prince, and then talked about Princess Shenghua.

She asked, "Will His Majesty take her life?"

Mo Qingyang did not answer her question, but talked about another thing, "Your Majesty wants to get rid of the Eighth Prince this time." But these two things can only be counted as one. Once the Eighth Prince is dealt with, Princess Shenghua will basically not be left. Even if she is left with a life to show the emperor's benevolence to the world, her fate will be very tragic.

"Dad, if the Eighth Prince learns that His Majesty wants to take back his fiefdom, will he obey and go to the capital, or will he rebel?" Qiao Zhenzhen said, "If it were me, I would go to the capital obediently, at least I could save my life, and His Majesty would at least support him to show his brotherly love and respect."

Mo Qingyang smiled, "Your Majesty doesn't want to keep him."

It costs money and makes things difficult for yourself.

Qiao Zhenzhen understood that even if the Eighth Prince did not rebel, Emperor Kant would force him to do so.

Today is a time of peace and prosperity, with a full treasury. There will be no problem in fighting this war, and it can also train soldiers who have not fought for a long time.

As for the fate of County Master Shenghua, she didn't need to ask any more questions, it was just like that.

"What about the eldest princess?" Qiao Zhenzhen asked another question that concerned her, "She is still eyeing your future son-in-law."

"Princess, please help me."

"The prince told the crown prince what happened in the palace, and the crown prince said he would find a way to get the eldest princess married as soon as possible." Qiao Zhenzhen sneered, "But I think that letting the eldest princess get married will not solve the fundamental problem."

Men are so naive, thinking that women will become obedient little lambs once they get married.

"Just let her marry far away." Mo Qingyang said lightly.

Qiao Zhenzhen suddenly felt like a lamp of wisdom was lit up.

Yup!

The best way to get rid of a princess is to ask her to marry a foreign prince.

It's just that during the first thirty or forty years after the founding of the Dashun Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Wu made all the foreigners around him sing and dance. Now, more than thirty years have passed, and no one knows what the situation is like outside, whether anyone will be ready to make a move, and whether anyone will come to propose to the princess.

Qiao Zhenzhen had lived in peacetime for too long and had been brainwashed by the idea that the fifty-six ethnic groups are one family, so she hardly paid attention to the movements of other ethnic groups.

"But with the eldest princess's personality, if she goes to marry a foreign prince, she will not make friends, but enemies," said Qiao Zhenzhen.

Mo Qingyang chuckled: "It is impossible for us to have a real friendship with foreign races. It is just an exchange of interests. The real reliance is still on force."

But the eldest princess is Emperor Kangde’s first daughter, so she must be doted on. Would the emperor be so cruel as to let her marry?

Don't be fooled by her father's nonchalant tone, because in fact, as he said, dealing with the eldest princess is more troublesome.

But there are always more solutions than problems, there will be a way.

If the eldest princess could really be allowed to marry far away, it would be like saving her life.

If you marry in the capital and keep causing trouble, don't blame her for being ruthless.

Afterwards, the father and daughter talked about Han Zheng's transfer until Qiao Zhenzhen couldn't help but yawn.

Mo Qingyang said, "Go back and rest. Have a good sleep. You don't have to get up early to pay your respects tomorrow."

Qiao Zhenzhen nodded and wiped the tears that came from yawning.

Before leaving, I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is Senior Brother Xu? Did you let him go home for the New Year?"
