Zheng Ying withdrew from the teahouse where Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Liang talked, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Liang looked at her straightforward character and had a degree of setbacks, but looking at her occasionally made Zheng Ying very uncomfortable.

Zheng Ying has felt such a look many times these days - it is a look of contempt, ridicule and disdain.

Many people, even though they were seemingly sweet and even flattering her, turned around and still despised her where she couldn't see.

Like many people, even if they openly say sarcastic jokes and jokes, Leng Mingyue can't even keep his fiance, but they can only laugh at pity with schadenfreude at most. They won't secretly look at Leng Mingyue with the eyes of a Dang (river crab) woman.

Zheng Ying looks a little gloomy. She knows that no matter how proud she looks, her reputation and eyes will follow her for many years.

But... She can't regret it. She has made a choice and can only go on. What's more, if she doesn't even have the surface scenery and lives hopelessly like Leng Mingyue guarding Fu Fengcheng, it will be more difficult for her to accept.

He turned and walked out of the yard. The Fu family had a huge area and the garden was not small. He also spent a lot of thought in that year. The garden has beautiful natural scenery and prosperous flowers and trees, which is no inferior to the royal garden.

But Zheng Ying was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty in front of her. She didn't dare to go too far, lest Mrs. Fu couldn't find anyone when she sent someone to find her.

"Young lady, let's go back and have a rest?" Chunjuan whispered holding Zheng Ying.

Zheng Ying shook her head and pointed to the pavilion in front, "let's go and sit for a while."

Looking at her appearance, Chunjuan couldn't help complaining, "Mrs. Da Shao is too irresponsible. She threw everything to you and doesn't know where she went."

Their young lady had a big stomach to cope with a large group of guests and had to pour tea and water around her. However, the healthy young lady didn't know where to go on the way.

Zheng Ying's smile is a little bitter. Mrs. Da Shao can go at will because she doesn't care about these. She doesn't intend to make friends with these ladies to win their favor, and she's not afraid that Mrs. Fu doesn't like herself.

But she can't.

"Come on, don't talk nonsense. You can arrange it too, madam?" Zheng Ying whispered.

Chunjuan was a little unconvinced. "It's true. On this occasion, madam doesn't say to help you."

Why should Leng Mingyue help her?

Mrs. Fu's attitude was clear. If she wasn't afraid of outsiders talking, she wouldn't want lengsa to attend such a banquet.

Under such an attitude, how many of the ladies with eyes will risk making Mrs. Fu unhappy to make friends with Leng Mingyue? Leng Mingyue obviously understood this truth, so she didn't get involved in it at all.

So we don't have to be embarrassed.

"Madam Sishao." before they could sit down in the pavilion, a cold female voice came behind them.

Zheng Ying firmly remembered the sound when she first heard it. After all, there are few women in the world whose voice is so arrogant, cold and strong, and there is a trace of contempt only belonging to Zheng Ying.

"Princess Chaoyang." Zheng Ying turned around, smiled and nodded to Xiao Nanjia.

Xiao Nanjia frowned and looked at her two eyes, "do you know where lengsa has gone?"

Zheng Ying was stunned. "Is the princess looking for her sister-in-law? She hasn't come back since she went out. I don't know where she has gone."

Xiao Nanjia looked at Zheng Ying with some dissatisfaction. The look seemed to say "Why are you so useless".

Zheng Ying looked at Xiao Nanjia with a smile, as if she didn't find her disdain for herself.

"Sister-in-law may be tired. Let's go back and have a rest first. If the princess has something urgent, she might as well send someone to ask in the sister-in-law's yard?"

Xiao Nanjia snorted, glanced at Zheng Ying and turned away.

"I don't know what a poor princess can be proud of!" Chunjuan couldn't help muttering when she saw Zheng Ying wronged.

These days, in addition to the really powerless ordinary people, not many people really pay attention to the royal family.

Let alone the princess, even if the prince can't inherit the throne, he will be lucky to get a pro throne and receive a fixed fee every month. However, the annual expenses allocated by the cabinet to the royal family are fixed. If the emperor has more children or spends more, everyone will naturally get less money.

As for the princess, she had nothing but a nice name and a dowry when she got married. Even the title and treatment of a princess will be taken back after marriage, and only the title of a princess will be retained.

For example, Xiao Nanjia, after her marriage, others can still call her Princess, but there is no word Chaoyang.

Zheng Ying looked calm and said faintly, "stop it. It's bad to hear. I heard that the royal family intends to marry Zhang Jia."

"Yes, madam."

"A Ying!" Mrs. Zheng hurried over with a girl. She was relieved to see Zheng Ying sitting in the pavilion.

"Mother, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Zheng's expression was dignified. She looked around and saw no one passing by. Then she took Zheng Ying and whispered, "Ah Ying, something happened to your uncle!"

"Uncle?" Zheng Ying was stunned. Then she reflected who Mrs. Zheng was talking about.

Mrs. Zheng's surname is Xue. She was originally born in a merchant family in six southern provinces. She just didn't expect that her husband would gradually make progress after marrying Zheng Ying's father, Zheng Lian. Zheng Lian's career has been smooth these years. Naturally, she needs the help of the Xue family. After the Zheng family got up, Zheng Lian didn't forget to take care of her family in law.

Xue bin is Mrs. Zheng's eldest brother, and his ability is not poor. Over the years, he has gradually achieved the position of deputy director of the Customs Department. If there is no accident, he may be able to take the position of director general of the Shanghai Customs Department in the past two years.

"What happened to uncle?" Zheng Ying asked.

Mrs. Zheng said anxiously, "the news from Chunyan just said... Your uncle was caught."

"Who is so brave to catch people?" Zheng Ying was confused for a moment. She looked at the girl standing next to Mrs. Zheng. "Chunyan, you say from the beginning!"

Chunyan was dazed and frightened. "Little... Miss, I don't know. Just now my uncle and wife called... And said that my uncle and master were taken away by the man who suddenly broke into the door early in the morning."

"Who?" Zheng Ying asked with a frown, very dissatisfied with the girl's vague answer.

Chunyan said shakily, "it seems... It seems to say it's from the police... Police station."

The office of the customs administration is not in Yongcheng, but in Jiangcheng and Luozhou, which are close to the coast and have sea ports. In fact, the General Administration of Yongcheng doesn't care about any specific affairs.

Xue bin is the vice minister in charge of Luozhou customs, but even if he is far away in Luozhou, who doesn't know that he is the eldest brother-in-law of the Zheng family. How dare the Luozhou police station arrest people casually for no reason?

Zheng Ying immediately remembered what happened yesterday. It was too coincidental.

Xue bin just sued Fu Fengcheng yesterday and was arrested today?

Mrs. Zheng was already at a loss. "A Ying, what should we do? Let's go and beg your mother-in-law? Mrs. Fu must have a way!"

"Niang!" Zheng Ying hurriedly pulled Mrs. Zheng, "Niang, don't worry! Let's find out what's going on before we can talk to her."

Mrs. Zheng nodded flustered, "you're right, you're right! What else did sister-in-law say on the phone? Did you say why she arrested people?"

Chunyan whispered, "those people... Said that my uncle seized customs clearance goods without permission, accepted bribes, and... Smuggling profits."

"How could it be? Big brother would never do such a thing!" Mrs. Zheng burst into tears and pulled Zheng Ying. "Ah Ying, you must save your uncle. He must have been framed!"

Zheng Ying's heart is heavy. She doesn't know whether other charges are true or false. But... The goods of the Wei family were not seized for inspection as my uncle said, but... It was an accident to deliberately detain his goods in order to find captain Wei Xiu's trouble. It was found that there was something wrong in them.

Zheng Ying doesn't know whether Xue bin did this for the first time.

If... The Wei family keeps biting this one

Zheng Ying suddenly remembered one thing. It is reasonable to say that Fu Fengcheng was punished for privately buying equipment, but Fu dujun did not make any statement to Wei Changxiu who helped him buy and transport things, which is obviously abnormal.

Is it just because the Wei family has a great cause and Fu dujun doesn't want to offend her?

Zheng Ying shook her head, No.

"A Ying?" Mrs. Zheng shook her head from time to time when she saw Zheng Ying standing there motionless. She didn't know what she was thinking. "What are you still thinking? Your uncle..."

Zheng Ying frowned, "Mom, I know! Let me think about it. Does my father know the news?"

"Someone has been sent to send a message to your father. Should you know now?"

Zheng Ying nodded, "I see. Don't worry. I'll go to Yucheng first."

"Not looking for Mrs. Fu?" even Mrs. Zheng knows that Fu Yucheng has no real power now. It is Mrs. Fu who can really speak.

Zheng Ying's face was slightly heavy. "Madam is talking to governor Liang's wife now. Would you let me go in and tell her about it at this time? Don't worry, my uncle won't have an accident for a while, and with the help of Yucheng, my wife will talk better."

Mrs. Zheng had no other way, so she sighed and said, "OK, listen to you. Go quickly. I have to go back to see your father and see what your father is going to do." speaking of this, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help blushing her eyes and wiping her tears, "well, why did this happen? Your uncle must have been wronged!"

Mrs. Zheng has had a good relationship with her brother since she was a child. She has been in a panic for a long time now.

Zheng Ying sighed in her heart, raised her hand and pressed her forehead to keep awake.

"Mother, don't worry. Uncle will be fine." Zheng Ying looked at Mrs. Zheng and whispered.

Although she said so, somehow Zheng Ying's mood became more and more gloomy.
