The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1793 The old lady called Big Eyes away

However, if Han Nianxia were to marry Suiming, it would be quite mismatched. What is Suiming's status now? Shang Xi could figure it out with her toes: Han Nianxia's name is not qualified to appear on the old housekeeper's roster.

In the Emperor's eyes, social standing was all tied to merit. In Wan Lianxing's eyes, the Han family was still just a merchant family. The only reason he would look at the Han family differently was because they were the maternal family of Madam Wan.

Seeing Han Nianxia crying pitifully, Yu Hua comforted her, "This matter is still undecided, why are you in such a hurry? Can't we talk things out? If you don't agree, you can go to the old lady's courtyard. This matter hasn't been settled yet, how can anyone force you!"

Han Nianxia said with utter disappointment, "This was brought up by my aunt! Now our whole family wants me to marry Suiming, and then have my eldest brother win over the general so that he can gain a foothold in the court and make the Han family stronger."

Mrs. Han's face finally darkened: "Han Nianxia, ​​shut up!"

Yu Hua chimed in, "Yes, Miss Nianxia, ​​you must be careful with your words. His Majesty dislikes officials forming cliques the most. You must not say such things again!"

"I'm not making this up. That's exactly what they're thinking. Suiming is the Emperor's confidant. He will only stand with the Emperor. If the Han family does anything that violates the law, Suiming will be the first to stand up and put justice before family. The first person to die will be me, Han Nianxia!" Han Nianxia practically shouted these last words!

Shang Xi glanced sideways, surprised that Han Nianxia, ​​who seemed to think of nothing all day, knew so much. Did she already know that the Han family was forming cliques and selling official positions?

Just as Shang Xi and Yu Hua were both looking at Han Nianxia, ​​Madam Han gave a look, and two servants pulled Han Nianxia away from Shang Xi and Yu Hua. The speed was so fast that Shang Xi and Yu Hua both took a step back. Then came Han Nianxia's piercing scream, and she was taken away just like that.

Shang Xi and Yu Hua remained standing there, unable to come to their senses for a long time, while Da Yan also stood there dumbfounded!

At some point, Yu Hua asked Shang Xi, "What did Nianxia mean by what she just said? Getting married is a joyous and auspicious event, but this Han Nianxia keeps mentioning death. What does she mean by that?"

Big Eyes stood to the side and said, "A few days ago, I saw Madam Han coming out of the old lady's room with a big smile on her face, as if she had a happy occasion. What's wrong with her today? Why is she having her daughter tied up? Is Miss Nianxia alright, being dragged away by the servants like that?"

Yu Hua chimed in, "Indeed! Madam Han also comes from a prominent family. She's usually so easygoing and jovial. How could she allow someone to kidnap Han Nianxia today?"

Shang Xi shook her head: "Being too eager for quick success will backfire. The Han family's affairs have nothing to do with our Prince's Mansion. In the future, refrain from discussing or interfering in their affairs. Do not mention this matter in the old lady's courtyard. Just pretend you don't know anything about it!"

Cheng Feng's words were certainly not unfounded. If even the slow-witted Han Nianxia could say such things, it would be best to stay away from the Han family!

With her big eyes darting around, she said, "Is Your Highness confused? Didn't Han Nianxia say that the marriage was proposed by the Old Madam? The Old Madam must know everything!"

Just now, standing in the courtyard, Da Yan couldn't understand many of the veiled details, but he understood the literal meaning. Because this child was good at running errands and mimicking speech, his memory was exceptionally good. He could now recount everything that had happened in the courtyard, word for word. He could repeat who said what and did everything perfectly. Therefore, he knew what had just occurred! He also knew how it had started—the root of the trouble lay with Old Madam Wan!

Shang Xi patted Da Yan's head, "You may not be growing taller, but you're growing smarter. You can't just grow in brains and not in height! What I mean is, don't mention the Han family or anything like that in front of the old lady from now on!"

Big Eyes nodded obediently, "I know that, I won't say anything out of line!" Then Big Eyes scratched his head, looking hesitant, "Your Highness, what if the Old Madam asks me? Should I tell her? The Old Madam is good to me, she often gives me delicious food!"

Shang Xi laughed, "Just tell me if I ask, but there's not much to say. What happened today has nothing to do with our Prince's Mansion. The Han family is the Han family, and our Prince's Mansion is our Prince's Mansion. The old lady won't care about what happened in the courtyard just now! Go have fun!"

"Don't I need to stay here and keep watch?"

"Need not!"

"Then I'll have the kitchen prepare a hangover soup for the Prince and Princess!"

Yu Hua looked at Da Yan and said, "You're such a worrywart. After that commotion, your prince and princess are already sober. What need do they have for hangover soup? Go play, just play, and stop worrying about me."

As soon as Da Yan left, Yu Hua asked Shang Xi, "Your mother-in-law really knows how to think about her own family."

Shang Xi sighed, "She also wanted to help the Han family, but unfortunately the Han family is too ambitious and unrealistic! They're unlikely to amount to much! I'm afraid she'll have to let my mother-in-law down!"

Yu Hua suddenly became more perceptive: "Could something have happened to the Han family?"

Shang Xi smirked, "It all boils down to greed. It was only a matter of time before trouble came!"

"Hey! Why are you talking so vaguely? What's wrong? What happened?"

Shang Xi looked around to make sure no one was watching, then whispered a few words in Yu Hua's ear. Yu Hua was so frightened that her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg. "You've had too many good days, you're just bored!"

Shang Xi shook her head: "Unless the truth comes out, we don't know whether this is true or false!"

“Would Cheng Feng spread such rumors? Not a single rumor has come from Cheng Feng’s mouth! Who are the Han family? They are Cheng Feng’s maternal relatives.”

Shang Xi glanced at the door again, then pulled Yu Hua aside and said, "Just keep it to yourself, don't tell anyone else!"

"Would I dare say that? Neither your Brother Chen nor I would say it!"

Shang Xi glanced at Yu Hua, wondering whether she should smile or not. She was certain that Brother Chen would find out about this tonight, because Yu Hua couldn't keep things to herself!

Just as Da Yan, who had run out to play, reached the door, he was summoned away by Xing'er, the old lady's head maid.

Before he could even speak, the old lady had someone grab a handful of colorful candies for Big Eyes!

Then, with a kind and gentle expression, she watched as the boy popped a candy into his mouth before speaking, "What were the Prince and Princess saying just now?"

"The prince didn't leave the room, and he didn't say anything!"

“I heard Han Nianxia shouting, how could Your Highness not have heard it?”

Big Eyes analyzed it for himself, "Perhaps the prince just couldn't figure it out!"

"What did the princess say?"

"Your Highness? Your Highness said that the Han family is the Han family, and the Pang Prince's Mansion is the Pang Prince's Mansion. You are not allowed to mention the Han family in the mansion from now on, and you should not interfere in the affairs of the Han family!"

Madam Wan's expression changed. "That's what she said?"
