Shou'an Hall.

Princess Ruan said, "Mother, this princess is really unreasonable. She is too obviously biased. Isn't it just the four treasures of the study and a jade pendant? It doesn't cost much money to give one to each person. But Yun Xi only gave it to Zhan Ge'er. When Zhan Ge put the jade pendant on himself, Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er saw it, so it's inevitable that they would be suspicious."

"But, after all, they are just some material possessions. We in the Zhennan Palace don't lack these things. As long as Yun Xi can treat everyone equally in their studies, it doesn't matter."

The old lady didn't say anything. She glanced at Ruan coldly and said, "You are usually dumb and clumsy, but today you are sharp-eyed and eloquent. If you suspect Yun Xi, call everyone over and confront them face to face!"

She had arranged people in Feiyu Pavilion a long time ago, so she knew what happened there early this morning.

Every child obviously has it, so how come only Brother Zhan has it?

She knew that with Xiao Yunxi's intelligence, she should have guessed the identities of Ze Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er long ago, but she was reluctant to act and was even willing to record them under her name.

She is also afraid.

But there was nothing wrong with what Xiao Yunxi did.

Of course, she would not easily believe that Xiao Yunxi had no purpose, but she believed that people educated by the Queen Mother were not that stupid and would definitely not be so obvious in such a small matter!

What’s going on? Call the person over and ask him, and you’ll know.

"Madam, the prince and Miss Yuan are here."

Lu Jingting met Nanny Li and Sister Yuan at the door. After asking them the reason, his face darkened.

The old lady looked at Sister Yuan as she came in. She didn't even greet or say hello, but ran straight into Ruan's arms. Her eyes darkened. She was really unruly.

Ruan Shi didn't notice the old lady's unhappiness, and happily hugged Sister Yuan and asked her, "Where's my brother?"

Sister Yuan wrinkled her nose and replied, "Brother is a lazy pig and is still sleeping."

Ruan touched her granddaughter's face lovingly and continued to ask, "Do you and Ze have the gift your mother gave to Zhan'er?"

Sister Yuan nodded, "My brother and I both have them, but mother was unhappy and said to leave them with her first."

Ruan's face changed.

The old lady asked in a deep voice, "Why is your mother unhappy?"

Sister Yuan pursed her lips, glanced at the serious old lady, and did not dare to answer.

Lu Jingting saw Sister Yuan'er's fear and coaxed her softly, "Sister Yuan, good children should not lie."

Yuan Jie'er lowered her head and said timidly, "I told mother that the princess mother taught us the character '人' today, saying that although it only has two strokes, it is the most difficult to write well, and asked us to learn to be a good person before studying. Then mother was unhappy..."

Although the old lady and Mrs. Ruan had not read many books, they understood that Xiao Yunxi was teaching the children how to be a good person, and there was nothing wrong with her words.

As for why Lin Wan'er was angry and why she took the things away, they could more or less guess it.

Although the old lady was angry, she didn't want to say anything in front of the child. She told Li Madam calmly, "Take Sister Yuan to the backyard to play for a while."

After Li Ma Ma took Sister Yuan out, she sternly ordered the maid Yuanyang, "Go and bring that slut over here!"

Lin Wan'er didn't understand why the old lady wanted to see her, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw Ruan's murderous eyes and the old lady's gloomy face, and Lu Jingting didn't even look at her.

"Kneel down!" The old lady threw the teacup directly in front of Lin Wan'er.

"Old Madam..." Lin Wan'er was startled. What happened?

Although Lu Jingting was also very disappointed and angry about Lin Wan'er's actions, looking at the old lady's expression, he was afraid that she would directly order Lin Wan'er to be executed, so he had to step forward and persuade her: "Grandma, calm down! Wan'er..."

"Shut up!" The old lady was so angry that she slammed the table. "You slut, tell me, where are the enlightenment gifts that the princess gave to Ze'er and Yuan'er?!"

When Lin Wan'er heard this, she knew something bad had happened. Her face turned pale with fear and she could only stare at Lu Jingting.

Looking at her like this, Lu Jingting couldn't bear to blame her. He sighed and ordered the servant outside the door to bring the things up.

When the old lady and Mrs. Ruan saw this, how could they not understand what was going on?

Ruan rushed forward and attacked Lin Wan'er's face with both hands, cursing as she hit her, "That was the princess's gift to the two children as a gift for their enlightenment. How dare you, a lowly maid, damage it? Idiot! Idiot!"

Lu Jingting hurriedly stepped forward to pull Ruan away and brought a cup of tea, "Mother, drink some water first."

"I'm not thirsty!" Ruan still stared at Lin Wan'er with unfriendly eyes.

The old lady looked at the farce in front of her, closed her eyes, and asked, "Jingting, how are you going to deal with this matter?"

Hearing this, Lu Jingting looked at his lover who was beaten black and blue, his extremely angry mother, and his silent grandmother.

He knew that the old lady was forcing him to deal with Lin Wan'er and forcing him to make a choice.

“Grandma!” Lu Jingting really couldn’t bring himself to punish Lin Wan’er. “Wan’er did something wrong. I have already asked my confidants to keep all the things secret. No one else will know about it. The princess… won’t know about it either.”

"Yes, mother, now we are the only ones who know about it. Why don't we go out and buy two identical sets of four treasures of the study and jade pendants? The princess won't know." Ruan's voice became smaller and smaller as she watched the old lady's face become increasingly ugly.

"Haha, they are really mother and son, both are equally stupid."

The old lady smiled instead of getting angry and asked, "This jade is top-grade Hetian jade, which is exclusively for the royal family. Not to mention that you can't buy it outside, even the Zhennan Palace can't afford a few pieces!"

"Speaking of the four treasures of the study, I don't understand. Jingting, can you tell me how much silver they are worth?"

"They are all extraordinary items and priceless." Lu Jingting squeezed out a few words from his tight throat.

"Then how are you going to make two identical sets of things? And you can't use the money from the Zhennan Palace and let Yun Xi know about it?"

"Use your dowry?" The old lady looked at Ruan who lowered her head in shame.

"Can I buy a pen by selling this slave girl?" The old lady turned her head and looked at the nervous Lu Jingting and Lin Wan'er hiding behind him.

"Grandma, your grandson will find a way!"

"You think of a way? I've been running around for days but still can't find a scholar to be a teacher for my son. How can you be so confident that you can do it?"

Seeing the disappointment in the old lady's eyes, Lu Jingting didn't dare to continue.

"If you can't make it up to me and you don't want to deal with this bitch, then go and act like a grandson in front of Yun Xi!"

"How can that be possible? A woman must obey her husband. Jingting is Yunxi's heaven!" Ruan was unhappy. How could her precious son become his wife's grandson!

"Snapped!"

The old lady couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Ruan.

"Xiao Yunxi is the sky of Zhennan Palace! The man sitting on the dragon throne is her, Xiao Yunxi's sky!"
