Chapter 148 The Emperor Can't Help It
Fu Chenan looked embarrassed: "My father only has me as his son. In order to avoid making my father sad, I can only let Miss Xiao down..."

It means that she is unwilling to marry into the family.

The Emperor felt relieved. "Then I will not take care of this matter... Come on, Miss Xiao has come from afar, please give her a seat and serve her tea."

A palace servant brought a stool, and Xiao Yingchun had just sat down when someone brought her tea.

Xiao Yingchun stood up and was about to take it, but the palace servant flipped the tea in his hand and half of the cup of tea was poured all over Xiao Yingchun.

The gauze skirt was immediately covered with tea stains, looking miserable.

Xiao Yingchun stood up in panic: "Ah!"

The palace maid knelt on the ground and said, "I beg you to die!"

His Majesty the Emperor frowned: "Why don't you help Miss Xiao down to change her clothes..."

Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan were both nervous.

The palace maids who can serve the emperor are all top-notch, how could they make such a low-level mistake?
This is intentional!

What do they want to do with this opportunity?
Fu Chenan was anxious and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yingchun.

After a brief panic, Xiao Yingchun calmed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

She followed the palace maid to the back to change her clothes.

The luxurious clothes on her body were taken off one by one, revealing the woman's exquisite body.

Xiao Yingchun was not at all shy and let the palace maid help her change her clothes.

The palace maid asked again, "Miss Xiao's hair is messy. Can I do her makeup again?"

Xiao Yingchun nodded slightly and handed over a pearl the size of her little finger, as casually as if she was handing over a one-yuan coin: "Thank you for your help."

The palace maid was startled: Whose master would reward with such a big pearl? !
Even the ladies in the palace would not be so generous!

This illegitimate daughter of the Sith boss is so generous!

The palace maid combed Xiao Yingchun's hair more carefully.

Her smooth red hair was tied up by the palace maids with several golden hairpins. When Xiao Yingchun returned to the imperial study again, she had changed into a light green dress, which made everyone's eyes light up.

It’s as if the red flowers are set off by green leaves, which gives it a unique flavor.

Fu Chenan breathed a sigh of relief: I'm glad that everyone is okay.

His Majesty the Emperor glanced at Doctor Qian and Qian Ximing.

"I will have someone investigate today's incident carefully. You should resolve your cooperation privately. Do not use your power to pressure others!"

Without waiting for Doctor Qian and Qian Ximing to say anything else, the Emperor waved his hand and said, "Everyone go back!"

Why didn't they punish Doctor Qian and his son?!

"Yes!" Doctor Qian and Qian Ximing were surprised, and as if they had been pardoned, they left quickly.

Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun were indignant, but they did not dare to pursue the matter further, so they said goodbye and left.

After everyone left, the Emperor looked at the palace maid who had just helped Xiao Yingchun change her clothes and comb her hair: "How is it?"

The palace maid, who was in her thirties, knelt down and presented the pearl with both hands.

"This is the pearl Miss Xiao gave me as a reward. The lady's hair is real. It is indeed red."

"Although she doesn't have the virgin blood, her body is undoubtedly a virgin."

His Majesty the Emperor lowered his eyes, waved his hand to let the people go, and then looked at the eunuch beside him: "What do you think?"

The eunuch bowed and replied, "This woman's behavior is completely different from that of your daughter. It is obvious that she has not received any training in this area."

"But her behavior is free and easy, and she doesn't look like a girl raised in an ordinary small family..."

"It does fit in with what she said about traveling around to inspect businesses."

"As for her and General Fu... According to the news from the Marshal's Office, General Fu is very close to this woman. I think he has this idea."

"Perhaps it was because of the family rules for women that it did not develop further?"

His Majesty the Emperor thought about it and nodded in approval: "That should be the case." If what these two people said were true, it meant that Qian Huailin had found someone who looked a bit like Boss Sis to maliciously frame him because his supply rights were taken back.

They dare to bring their ideas to the emperor...the Qian family is really bold!
But considering that they are here to deal with Fu Chenan, I will spare their lives for the time being.

As for Fu Chenan...if it comes to selfish motives, His Majesty the Emperor really wants to kill him.

But there is Fu Zhonghai at the border. If his only son is killed, I am afraid he will rebel immediately.

How to do it?

The Emperor thought about it and said, "Go and tell them to do this..."

The eunuch respectfully agreed and went, but a feeling of anxiety flashed through his mind.

The emperor couldn't help it after all.

Fu Chenan led Xiao Yingchun out of the palace and home, both of them looked unhappy.

There is no doubt that everything Fu Chenan had worried about before happened.

The emperor not only had her body examined, he also looked closely at her hair.

Fortunately, Xiao Yingchun's hair had just been dyed and the roots had not grown out yet, otherwise it might have been exposed under such a detailed inspection!
Xiao Yingchun felt something was wrong: "The emperor knew that the Qian family was framing him and was using him, so why didn't he hold the Qian family accountable for deceiving the emperor?"

Fu Chenan sneered: "Not punishing is encouragement."

Today, the Qian family father and son were not punished for deceiving the emperor. I believe that in the future, there will be more shameless ministers who are smart and good at framing others and use more clever methods to deal with the Fu family, so as to win the emperor's approval and climb the ladder to heaven.

Xiao Yingchun became worried: "What should we do then?"

Fu Chenan: "...I will write a letter to my father."

For such a serious matter, I naturally have to discuss it with my father before taking any action.

When the two returned to the house next to the Marshal's Mansion, Fu Chenan gave his suggestion directly without waiting for Xiao Yingchun to say anything.

"I will send you away tomorrow. Just say you are going to Dai Viet to help your father inspect the business and then say goodbye and leave."

Xiao Yingchun was also scared today: "Okay."

Since you are leaving, you have to do some superficial work.

Fu Chenan came forward and invited Cheng Yigui and other four families to come together to meet Xiao Yingchun.

There is no need for the Ningyuan Marquis family to come, they can just stay in the dark.

What happened in the palace had already been spread out, and Cheng Yigui and the other four families hated Qian Ximing's family with gnashing teeth.

If Fu Chenan was convicted because of the troupe owner, I'm afraid that the cowardly boss Xisi would not dare to sell goods to the capital anymore.

By then, the Tao Tao cosmetics business of the four of them would be finished.

This is a really big piece of pie!
Who doesn't feel bad?

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Fu Chenan invited Boss Xisi's concubine's daughter to testify and confirmed that the owner of the troupe was not Boss Xisi, thus saving the business.

Therefore, Cheng Yigui and the other three families were particularly grateful to Fu Chenan and Miss Yingchun.

"Miss Yingchun, this is a small gift I prepared for you..." Cheng Yigui took the lead and stepped forward to hand over a box.

Xiao Yingchun did not refuse. She took it with a smile and put it aside.

With Cheng Yigui taking the lead, the other three also presented their gifts.

Xiao Yingchun accepted them one by one, and then explained to the four people: "I will leave tomorrow to go to Daiyue to inspect the business. My father still trusts General Fu for the supply here. Please follow the rules..."

After some instructions and warnings, the four families all agreed to take their leave.

Only then did Xiao Yingchun have time to look at the things they had given her.

The contents of the box were very straightforward. Apart from a complete set of gemstone-inlaid red gold head ornaments, the rest were silver bills.

The four families together had ten thousand taels of silver notes. Obviously, they had discussed it beforehand.

Xiao Yingchun: ...So real!
But I like it.
