"Ah, I was thinking at that time that if my sister wanted to learn how to use a whip, she might as well come to my house every day to train her body first before she could learn other things."

As the walking exercise plan progressed, it became less and less helpful to Qin Yaoguang's body.

Qin Yaoguang wondered if there were better ways to exercise, for example, she had practiced yoga for a period of time in modern times.

But yoga is a sport that cannot be practiced randomly.

Qin Yaoguang would think about this matter from time to time, but he never figured it out.

Chun Ning became excited when he heard it.

"Great, great! It would be best if I could be with my sister."

In the past, she was alone most of the time during the day.

At night, although Lu Yi would have dinner with her in the main room, he always stayed elsewhere and was not with her much, so he inevitably felt lonely.

Although Chun Ning did not have a bad reputation in Beijing, the situation in the princess's mansion could not be hidden from those powerful families.

She couldn't control her husband, and he was surrounded by a group of lazy and dissolute young men, all of which were disliked by the mistresses of the house.

Chun Ning is also a person without friends.

She was so happy that she could become close to the imperial sister that she agreed immediately without asking the reason.

Qin Yaoguang then expressed her thoughts. Chun Ning thought for a moment and said, "Sister, since you want to exercise, why don't you go to the martial arts school and find a martial arts lady who specializes in teaching female disciples?"

Martial arts?

Qin Yaoguang had no idea there was such a place.

She made a note of it for the time being, thinking about going back and asking Nanny Deng as Chun Ning had said.

"Your Highness, Manager Zeng has arrived." Chunfen came to report.

"Let him in."

As she was in charge of her own affairs, there was no need for her to avoid Chun Ning, and what's more, everything she wanted to say was related to Chun Ning.

"Your servant Zeng Xiangjin greets Her Royal Highness the Princess Chang and Her Royal Highness Princess Chunning."

"Get up."

Qin Yaoguang ordered, "Go to the door and arrange a carriage to take Huang Ying'er and Huang Li'er back to my house and hand them over to Shuangjiang. Ask her to find a side courtyard to accommodate them until I return home tomorrow."

"Yes, I have taken note of it."

"In addition, you take my name card and escort Wan Yuchai back to Wanmin Building. See what the situation is like there and bring back his parents, wife, and children. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, come back to me."

Wan Yuchai's matter was much more troublesome than the two skinny horses. There might be other interests involved, so she asked Zeng Xiangjin to handle it personally.

"Yes, I will definitely do it. Princess, don't worry about it."

Chun Ning said to Lan Xiang, "Give the deed of Wanmin Building to the chief steward and return it to Wan Yu Chai."

Qin Yaoguang handled these troublesome matters for her, and all she could do was to cooperate.

Zeng Xiangjin bowed and took the box handed to him by Lanxiang with both hands.

Qin Yaoguang asked Chunfen to give him a ten-liang gold ingot and said, "Give what you need to give. Don't let people think that our Princess Mansion is bullying others. The rest is yours."

Anyway, this gold is free ransom, it would be a waste if we don't use it.

Zeng Xiangjin is a capable person, so we might as well let him get more benefits so that he can be more easily assigned tasks in the future.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness!"

Zeng Xiangjin held the gold ingot in his hand, bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude with great trepidation, then walked out of the door backwards.

After he left, Chun Ning asked, "Royal sister, has the chief steward of your house been replaced?"

No matter how little they had seen each other before, they were still sisters, and they knew each other for such an important position as the chief steward.

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "Let me tell you something."

Chun Ning was simple-minded, so she told him about how Xiao's mother and daughter colluded with Steward Wang to sell the things she had rewarded them, and said, "I will hand Steward Wang over to Jingzhao Prefecture for trial and sentence him to exile."

Other suspicious points about Manager Wang were omitted.

Her purpose was to let Chun Ning know the disadvantages of collusion between insiders and outsiders, and between superiors and subordinates, not to let her get into trouble.

"How abominable!"

Chun Ning clenched her fists and said, "What about Zhou Qinghe? She knows all these crooked ways at such a young age. Sister, won't you punish her?"

"Punishment."

Qin Yaoguang said calmly, "She was punished to copy the Heart Sutra to pray for the Queen. As for Madam Zhou, I detained her in the Zhufeng Courtyard to teach the five children!"

Chun Ning heard the twists and turns and laughed, "Sister, you are so mean."

"Why not?"

Qin Yaoguang took a sip of tea and said, "They and their daughter ate and lived in my house, so it's time for them to pay back their debt."

After hearing this, Chun Ning seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Qin Yaoguang said, "We two sisters should not have those concerns."

Many misunderstandings are caused by lack of timely communication.

"Royal sister, don't look at me as a mess here. In fact, I have wanted to advise you about this matter between mother and daughter for a long time."

Chun Ning said, "Tell me, what was the meaning of Mrs. Zhou bringing her daughters to the capital instead of returning to her parents' home after her husband died? You were so kind as to take them in and provide them with good food and drink."

As they were worshipping, a pair of ungrateful people emerged.

However, Chun Ning swallowed the rest of the words because he didn’t want to upset his sister.

She secretly glanced at Qin Yaoguang's face and asked cautiously, "Could it be that my brother-in-law made the decision and asked my sister to take him in?"

Chun Ning didn't have many friends in Beijing, but he had heard rumors about Princess Leyang.

One of them was the reason why Qin Yaoguang took in the Xiao mother and daughter.

After asking, Chun Ning immediately said: "Royal sister, I don't have any other meaning. If you don't want to say it..."

Qin Yaoguang raised her hand to stop him, saying, "I've said before that there is nothing we cannot talk about between us two sisters."

"What happened between the two of them was caused by my confusion at the time. It has nothing to do with your brother-in-law."

It really has nothing to do with it.

This point is clearly written in the original book.

The first time Xiao brought Zhou Qinghe to the house, they were beaten out by the original owner.

Later, Zhou Qinghe was possessed by a time-traveling woman who taught Xiao a whole set of methods, which allowed the two of them not only to successfully sneak into the princess's mansion, but also to live better and better lives.

Xiao, her target is Yan Changqing.

She tried to use the canceled engagement to rekindle her relationship with Yan Changqing.

So, no matter what, she had to stay in the princess's mansion just to wait for the day when Yan Changqing returned to Beijing.

But Yan Changqing's heart was filled with national hatred and family feuds, and there was no room for a woman at all.

He didn't care about either Xiao or the later eldest princess.

But since he had already married the original owner, he placed her in the position of legitimate wife, giving her status and respect, but no love.

After returning to Beijing, Yan Changqing immediately bought a small courtyard and moved Xiao's mother and daughter out, as a way of paying off the favor he owed for breaking off the engagement.

Thinking of this, Qin Yaoguang sighed softly.

The happier the original owner was at the time, the more miserable his ending was later.
