Chapter 152 The poor little girl who was married off VS the inhumane prince 37
Before the Dali Temple official could finish, Nangong Yan became angry. The warmth in his body disappeared. He stared at the official and said coldly, "What do you mean? My wife is pregnant, what can I do to Princess Zhaomin?"
The official from the Dali Temple secretly groaned in his heart. He knew this would happen before he came. They were most afraid of handling tasks for these nobles, but the Crown Prince's Concubine was indeed a suspect, so they had to come.
"Please forgive me, Prince Yan. I am only doing my job impartially. Based on what I have found so far, the Crown Prince's Consort is indeed a suspect."
Nangong Yan sneered, "Suspected? My wife is suspected just because she went to the back mountain for a stroll? As for the festival you mentioned, it was just a few unpleasant quarrels between women. Is this also a suspect?"
The Dali Temple official was speechless, with sweat on his forehead. He was silent for a few seconds and said nervously, "This... I came here just to ask a few questions today, not to doubt the Crown Prince's Concubine. If you really think it has nothing to do with the Crown Prince's Concubine, I will leave."
Yu Yao glanced at the Dali Temple official and explained, "I did go to the back mountain yesterday morning, but I only walked around twice and came back."
"Then may I ask if the Crown Princess met anyone in the back mountain?"
The Dali Temple official breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yu Yao's cooperation, and looked at her and asked.
Yu Yao lowered her eyes and recalled for a moment, then looked at the official and said, "I did meet a young man in a blue robe in the back mountain. He was quite young, about twenty years old, holding an ink-colored folding fan in his hand. He looked like a pilgrim in the temple."
She was referring to Xifeng. Anyway, the man was dead and the body had been dissolved by her, so it would be a good idea to let the officials suspect him.
"Young Master in Blue Robe?"
The official's face turned serious. He stared at Yu Yao and frowned, "Does the Crown Prince know the identity of that person? Do you remember his appearance clearly?"
"I don't know his identity. I haven't spoken to him and I don't know him."
Yu Yao shook her head blankly, then added: "But I remember some of his appearance."
The official was relieved when he saw that Yu Yao remembered the man's appearance. His expression softened. "In that case, could you please draw the man's appearance again, Princess?"
"Of course you can!"
Yu Yao nodded slightly.
He got up and went into the side room, walked to the desk, pulled out a piece of rice paper, dipped the tip of the pen in ink, and began to paint.
She drew Xifeng's appearance on that day.
But thinking that the other party was a secret guard of the Princess's residence, he was afraid that if he was recognized, it would cause trouble...
She slightly changed her face, making it look like Zephyr, but not like Zephyr.
It is not necessary to put the blame on Xifeng for this case, as long as the case becomes an unsolved case.
Yu Yao finished the painting quickly, put down the brush in her hand, blew on the wet ink on the rice paper, took it out and handed it to the official.
"Thank you, Princess. I'll take my leave now!"
The Dali Temple official took the portrait, took a look at it, and quickly said goodbye and left.
Seeing the officials from the Dali Temple leave, the entire family at Prince Jin's Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.
"These people from the Dali Temple are getting more and more rampant. They even dare to investigate my family. Humph..."
Prince Jin looked towards the door and said with an unhappy look on his face.
Princess Jin cast her eyes towards Yu Yao, her tone slightly complaining, "Why are you going to the back hills for no reason? If you don't like listening to the lectures, just stay in your room."
She originally liked this daughter-in-law very much. She was intelligent, interesting, well-educated, and had good manners in dealing with people.
But since coming to Wan'an Temple, he has been causing troubles frequently, which made her unhappy.
Nangong Yan heard his mother's complaints about his wife, frowned slightly, and looked at the Princess of Jin, "Mother, since we are in Wan'an Temple, why should we stay in the house all the time? Yao'er just happened to go to the back mountain at that time, who knew that this would happen?"
This was the first time that her son refuted her, which made Princess Jin feel a little uncomfortable.
The two have been married for more than ten years. How could King Jin not see his wife's emotions? He felt so distressed when he saw that his wife was unhappy.
He couldn't help but kick Nangong Yan and cursed, "Your mother was just talking, she didn't really blame your wife. You're making a fuss about it and it makes your mother unhappy."
Nangong Yan rubbed the place where he was kicked, feeling extremely speechless. He retorted, "Why are you unhappy?"
Yu Yao watched the scene coldly and said nothing the whole time.
She suddenly felt that the Jin Wangfei was a hypocritical woman. She was spoiled by her husband and son, but one day she didn't get what she wanted. She immediately showed her dissatisfaction with herself and felt that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was just like that. She would try to distance herself from them, talk less, and spend less time together.
She didn't want to see Princess Jin, so she pulled Nangong Yan back to her room.
Yu Yao's action of pulling her son back to the room without saying a word made Princess Jin even more unhappy. She felt that this was a sign of her daughter-in-law's dissatisfaction with her.
The King of Jin saw that his beloved wife was becoming increasingly unhappy, as evidenced by a small, soft, white hand that was twisting the soft flesh on his waist and spinning it around.
Although it didn't hurt much, it was also a way for the wife to vent her anger.
King Jin suddenly felt so pitiful. What had he done to offend anyone? Why was he being bullied?
But due to his wife's power, Prince Jin did not dare to show it. Instead, he put on a smile and tried his best to make her happy.
Inside the house, Nangong Yan was also trying to cheer Yu Yao up.
"Yao'er, don't take mother's words to heart. She doesn't mean to blame you. She just..."
Nangong Yan frowned, his eyes were as dark as ink, his tall figure pulled Yu Yao into his arms, gently stroked her eyebrows, and felt pity for her.
I used to think my mother was a good person and was very satisfied with Yao'er. But why is it that this time when she came to Wan'an Temple, she found fault with her?
Yu Yao nestled in his arms, not disguising the unhappiness on her face, and continued his words: "You just think I've caused you trouble, and you're starting to have a problem with me..."
"Yao'er, mother..."
Nangong Yan’s brows were twisted into knots. He wanted to explain, but found that what his wife said was true.
"I can tolerate anything except being humiliated. Forget it this time, but if there is a next time, don't blame me for not giving her face."
Yu Yao pushed Nangong Yan away, then lay on the couch, leaning sideways, glancing at him, giving him a heads-up in advance.
The reason why she didn't confront him today was mainly because she thought that Princess Jin had been quite nice to her in the past, and Nangong Yan was speaking for her, so she didn't bother to say anything.
She won't be so polite next time.
Nangong Yan smiled faintly. Not only did he not feel angry, but he liked her like this, just like a little kitten whose fur was irritated. He liked her no matter how he looked at her.
He had a smile on his lips, and his noble and elegant face became even softer. He walked to the edge of the couch and sat down, and put his arm around her waist again, his eyes as tender as water, "As long as you are happy, I'm glad, but mother won't."
Yu Yao glanced at the man in front of her, but did not push him away and let him hold her.
I snorted in my heart: It’s hard to say. Once there is a rift in the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, they will only dislike each other more and more in the future.
It would be best if we could treat each other with respect and not disturb each other.
……
The sky gradually darkened and the moonlight fell and was hidden by dark clouds.
The lights in the house flickered, emitting a faint light.
Nangong Mo leaned against the soft couch in the side room, listening to the guard's report, and couldn't help but sneer.
"The people in the Dali Temple are really getting more and more capable. They actually suspected a weak woman."
The guard stood aside with his head down, not daring to answer.
"The officer who interrogated her was dismissed for a reason. I don't want to see him appear in the Dali Temple."
Nangong Mo suddenly said coldly.
He didn't even ask the officer's name. To him, it made no difference who he was.
The guard was in turmoil. The Crown Prince actually fell in love with the Princess of Prince Jin's Mansion?
He even dismissed the officials from the Dali Temple for the other party.
He felt as if he knew an incredible secret, but in order to keep his head intact, he had to keep the secret to himself.
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The guard bowed his head respectfully and then retreated.
