A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

Lin Qingyang's mind was filled with questions. Looking at Zhuang Weining and the young general, he thought: What's going on with you?

Lin Qingyang never asked about the specific situation of Aying and the General's Mansion. Aying said that the general was her godfather and the young general often protected Aying. From the first meeting on the Chinese Valentine's Day, Lin Qingyang felt that the young general was very nervous about Miss Aying.

Lin Qingyang had always felt that their relationship was more than just brother and sister, at least the young general should like Ah Ying.

But judging from Zhuang Weining and the young general's current performance, it seems that he guessed wrong.

Lin Qingyang pulled Zhuang Weining's sleeve, glanced at the two people in front of him, and asked cautiously:

"you?"

The young general smiled but did not answer. He just said, "Go find Ying!"

After that, he left.

Zhuang Weining and Lin Qingyang were left alone. Seeing that no one was around, Lin Qingyang boldly asked:

"What happened during the time I was away from the capital?"

Zhuang Weining couldn't help laughing when he saw her curiosity.

"nothing much?"

But the cheerful way she walked showed that nothing had happened.

"Go ahead, I'm dying of curiosity."

Zhuang Weining walked quickly in front, while Lin Qingyang trotted behind, complaining from time to time: "You seem to be in good health today!"

Yes, from the time they first met until now, Zhuang Weining didn’t seem to cough much.

Ah Ying was fiddling with her tea in the room. When two people came in, she just looked up and noticed that the atmosphere between them was different.

"What's wrong with you?" Aying asked calmly.

Lin Qingyang hadn’t figured it out yet, and didn’t know what the current situation of these people was, so she didn’t dare to ask.

Zhuang Weining sat down by herself, and Lin Qingyang sat next to her.

Ah Ying saw that Lin Qingyang was different today, so she looked at her and asked:

"What disgusting food did you eat this morning? Your eyebrows are twisted into a mess, and your tongue is irritated, so you can't speak."

Lin Qingyang looked at Zhuang Weining who was standing beside him. Zhuang Weining just smiled and said nothing.

Lin Qingyang muttered in his heart: This girl is laughing happily, does that mean she knows I misunderstood? It's uncomfortable to hold it in, so I'll ask.

"Miss Aying, do you like General Yang Ting?"

Ah Ying was stunned. Zhuang Weining didn't expect her to be so direct.

Ah Ying looked at Zhuang Weining and then back at Lin Qingyang, "Why do you ask me this question, Princess?"

Seeing that Ah Ying's expression did not change, Lin Qingyang rolled his eyes and said, "When we were coming back from the south this time, we met a grandfather and grandson on the road. The granddaughter was beautiful and young, and she had some connection with my family. I was planning to find a marriage for her, and I thought of the young general. But I don't know if Ah Ying and the young general have any relationship other than siblings, so I came to ask."

Ah Ying smiled and replied, "No, I just treat him as my brother, but you shouldn't ask me about this."

After saying this, he glanced at Zhuang Weining with an ambiguous look.

Lin Qingyang understood immediately and said in a serious tone,

"Ning'er, tell the truth."

Zhuang Weining sat up straight, took the tea bowl from the table, took a sip, then put the bowl down, sighed, and said, "I didn't intend to hide it from you."

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ah Ying and I organized an event. The tea shop was doing very good business that day. It was late, but there were a lot of people on the street. Who would have thought that we would run into bad guys that day."

When Lin Qingyang heard this, he realized that Mid-Autumn Festival was the day he had just left Beijing.

"So are you okay?"

"It's okay. The thieves didn't know my identity either. They kidnapped me and dragged me out of the city. My brother didn't dare to make it public, fearing that my reputation would be ruined. He asked the patrol officers to track them down carefully. General Yang also helped. Thanks to him, the car was stopped. In order to save me, the general was slightly injured. I followed Doctor Jiang here several times, and we became familiar with each other!"

It sounded like there wasn't much of a commotion, and the matter should have been resolved satisfactorily. Zhuang Weining's reputation was intact, and many people in the capital didn't know that such a thing had happened that day.

The two people are considered a good match. The Yang family has military power, and the emperor will definitely not let his family's influence expand further. The Zhuang family has the title of Duke, but it is also an empty position with little power. In recent years, he has not participated much in court affairs.

"Then your matter requires the Queen Mother's permission, right?"

Lin Qingyang asked, after all, Zhuang Weining was the empress dowager's granddaughter.

"The Queen Mother knows, but the Crown Prince's selection of a concubine after the New Year is a big deal. Once everything is settled over there, the women of marriageable age in the capital can get married and have their own funerals."

Zhuang Weining said it very lightly. It seemed that the Queen Mother had already agreed to the matter, so the only thing left was an imperial decree.

Lin Qingyang didn't know what to feel. How could such a big thing happen in just a few months?

Ah Ying made tea and said, "What does the woman you brought back do? Does she live in your palace? You are helping with the arrangements here. Does the prince want to keep her by his side?"

Zhuang Weining burst out laughing, "Yes, my cousin is a very romantic man. If it was a beautiful woman, he would leave her to someone else. Don't bring back a love rival yourself."

Seeing the two people laughing endlessly, Lin Qingyang rolled her eyes.

"Then I'm not afraid. What if there are a few more?"

Zhuang Weining pursed his lips and said, "Even if my cousin doesn't have this idea, there are others who have this idea. There were many women in Beijing who wanted to marry my cousin. Although you don't care, look at those men who have three wives and four concubines. Do they have a peaceful life? All kinds of competition for favors, all kinds of comparisons, all kinds of relatives clinging to each other, it's so annoying."

Lin Qingyang ignored him.

“But the busiest place right now is not the Prince’s Mansion, but the Xiao Mansion.” Zhuang Weining threw out this sentence.

The Prince's Mansion is bustling because of the busyness at the end of the year and the selection of concubines at the beginning of spring, while the Xiao family is bustling because of the concubine most favored by the King's brother-in-law.

"I've only been back to Beijing for a few days, and it seems like I missed a lot of things." Lin Qingyang asked.

“Not only that, but it’s not that you missed it. Maybe it’s just that my cousin didn’t tell you. He didn’t tell you because he knew I would tell you.” Zhuang Weining said it like a tongue twister.

"Then tell me, what's going on? Is it that brother who dotes on his concubine who is making trouble again?" When Lin Qingyang heard that it was the Xiao family, she could only think of the wealthy man who followed her back to Beijing. She still didn't know his last name.

"It was him. My brother beat him up on the first day he arrived in Beijing." Zhuang Weining said. Lin Qingyang knew about this.

Ah Ying just listened to them talking. Anyway, these two people would not hide what they could say from her, and would not say what they could not say either.

Zhuang Weining continued, "Originally, the man behaved himself after being taught a lesson, but later he went to find his sister. I don't know if he was inspired or if he felt that someone was backing him up, he became more arrogant and looked down on everyone, and ended up offending Xiao Caihe."

After hearing this, Lin Qingyang knew that offending Xiao Caihe would definitely not be good.

"I guess you don't even pamper your concubine now, right?"
