Chapter 763

The Jin family's roots are not in the capital, and they belong to outsiders. After two years of smooth sailing, Mrs. Jin became a little drifting. She only made friends with people who fawned over her, and she didn't make many real friends.

At the critical moment, she had no choice but to spend money to find help.

Jin Huayong also got the opportunity to go to Beijing by chance. Although he did a good job, he had no ambition after all. Even a fifth-rank official thought it was good. After all, he was still an official.

With his appearance, one can imagine how badly he was scolded by Mrs. Jin.

"You loser, a good official made you do this, but now it's a good thing, the road for your son has not been paved. Now that it's like this, how can we hold our heads up in the future!"

Jin Huayong is a piece of meat. No matter how much Mrs. Jin scolds him, he should eat and drink. "Then who should be blamed? It's not you who offended someone."

"Me?" Mrs. Jin was very angry, "I'm at home all day, who can I offend? I'm talking about your affairs, and you still push me. You still aren't a man."

Jin Huayong shook his head, "You bullied your daughter-in-law away. It's not like she has no backing. Her uncle looks like no one, but I've asked him. He was only the Princess of Jialing when he came to Beijing to be an official. It’s just a matter of words, otherwise you would think that my daughter-in-law and her aunt could become the dean.”

"This... I have no grievances with that princess. We have never even met." Mrs. Jin said, "This... this matter about the back house, how could she bring it to the court?"

Jin Huayong smiled bitterly, "I told you a long time ago that everything will be well with the family, but you won't listen. I heard that the little princess is the most protective of others. My daughter-in-law has known her since childhood and is a relative. Think about it."

Mrs. Jin took a deep breath and said: "Tsk, I've asked about who the princess is. Her family is all from the countryside, and it's not as good as our family's foundation. Really, it's such a big deal, it's harmful. If you can't even become an official, I'll just tell you that this daughter-in-law is a loser and is not sensible at all."

Jin Huayong shook his head, knowing that he didn't need to say anything anymore, and it would be useless if he did.

Although Mrs. Jin said this, her man was demoted and her status was also lowered. She could not bear it.

The next day, she called her son to go find Jiang Fangrui.

Jin Xuwen was quite happy at first when he heard that his mother relented.

"Mom, you don't have to say anything when the time comes. Fangrui is a sensible person. If you go, she will come back naturally." Jin Xuwen said excitedly.

Mrs. Jin's triangular eyes flashed with cold light, "Yes, I went to pick her up myself, what else does she want?"

Jin Xuwen heard his mother's dissatisfaction and comforted him: "Mom, actually... Fangrui doesn't mean that either. Maybe I haven't seen the princess for many years and I have something to say."

"I don't know what you said, but your father's official position has been directly changed to the fifth rank. If you stay here any longer, I'm afraid he won't even be able to become an official." Mrs. Jin said sourly.

"Mom, what does this matter about my father have to do with Fangrui? She is a woman, how can she be so capable."

"She doesn't, but her friend does." Mrs. Jin said coldly.

"Can't you?" Jin Xuwen was full of doubts, but he had never met Fu Jiujiu, he only heard about it from others.

I heard that this little princess is very unruly and loves to show off.

As soon as he came back, he used his status to humiliate the young lady of the Deng family in the street. She was the cousin of the eldest prince, and she was bullied.

Jin Xuwen thought that he would have to meet the little princess face to face when he picked up his wife, and he still felt quite uneasy.

However, when they arrived at Fu Jiujiu's place, they were told by the concierge brothers Lin Zhen and Lin Wei that the princess was not there.

Now that the two of them have finished their mission, they are back to take a rest and take care of Fu Jiujiu's home.

Mrs. Jin didn't know the identities of these two people. She thought that even a servant would dare to ignore them, so she asked coldly, "If the princess is not here, then she is not here. We are not here to see her in the first place. Please let her go quickly." Let’s go in.”

Lin Zhen smiled, "You are really interesting. When you come to someone's house and the master is not there, you have to break in. Where are the rules?" "I'm here to pick up my wife." Jin Xuwen said with cupped hands.

"You can't take anyone in. There are a lot of valuable things in this mansion. My princess is not here, so I just let people in. How are we going to explain what was lost or broken?"

Mrs. Jin frowned, "What are you talking about? What are our identities? Even if we are in the princess's mansion, it doesn't matter, we are not petty thieves."

Besides, what kind of treasure can a country girl have in her home?

She doesn't like it.

Lin Wei sneered, but no matter what they said, no one was allowed to enter this door.

Mrs. Jin had no choice but to go back, but Jin Xu missed his wife and daughter, so he insisted on staying here and waiting for the princess to return.

Seeing that he had a good attitude, Lin Wei and Lin Zhen didn't embarrass him too much.

It was unfortunate that if they came early, they would only see Fu Jiujiu.

But the result was the same. Fu Jiujiu wanted to go to the palace to see the empress dowager, so why did he delay for them.

Tang Xian took Fu Jiujiu directly to the Queen Mother's palace.

The majestic palace, with red walls and green tiles, remained unchanged. Time seemed to have frozen here. Only when he saw familiar people with gray hair, Fu Jiujiu knew that time had really passed.

"Nanny Minghui." Fu Jiujiu recognized her at a glance.

Aunt Minghui was instructing the maids to sweep and prune flowers. When she looked over, she would have never dared to recognize Fu Jiujiu if it weren't for Tang Xian's side.

The expression on her face changed from surprise to joy, and then she laughed, "Old slave, please give your regards to the princess."

Fu Jiujiu quickly ran over and helped the person up, "Aunt Minghui, you are still so beautiful."

"You are old, you are already several decades old, but the princess has grown into a big girl."

Minghui knew that the two masters were here to see the Empress Dowager, so she didn't dare to exchange more greetings. She lowered her voice and said, "The Empress Dowager is having a temper in there! You guys came just in time. She looked at you and was sure to be happy."

"What happened to Grandma Huang?" Tang Xian asked.

"It's nothing. I feel like I'm still not getting better after taking medicine. I haven't seen much in the past few days. I can't even see the blurry shadows. I almost got burned by the boiling water yesterday. Old and young children, here comes the princess. The Queen Mother will be happy."

Fu Jiujiu nodded, "Aunt Minghui, where is the medicine?"

Minghui hurriedly waved, and soon the palace maid brought another bowl of medicine. Fu Jiujiu smelled it and found that there were some bitter herbs in it.

She took the tray and said, "Give it to me."

The palace maid didn't know Fu Jiujiu, and she didn't dare to take advantage of him easily.

Minghui motioned for her to let go, "You go down first."

"Let's go!" Fu Jiujiu said, holding the tray and striding inside.

"Aijia won't eat. You deliberately want to embarrass Aijia. If you feed me such a bitter thing, I think you just want to torture me to death."
