Chapter 2131: Chapter 2131: You Misunderstood

"All those people are..."

He wanted to say that those people were given to him by his brothers, not some servants of unknown identity.

But are those people really not of unknown identity?

Even if they’re not, they might still be spies sent by various princes’ mansions to his palace to investigate his situation, right? Perhaps, the disappearance of his son was inextricably linked to those people?

Not only his Eighth Brother, but his other brothers, seeing the Eighth Brother stuffing people into his mansion, would also push their own people into his household.

In the past, he thought, these were all trivial matters, just some servants after all, and it’s not like he couldn’t afford to pay their salary.

Just accept them all as they come.

But now that he thinks about it, perhaps it’s really not that simple.

"Just a few servants. The Princess Consort is in charge of all the matters in the mansion. Since she feels that those people shouldn’t stay, then let all those who should be sent away be gone. This matter need not be reported to me."

Once the Eighth Brother leaves later, he needs to have a good talk with the Princess Consort to see if she has found any clues about the disappearance of Baiqing.

Otherwise, why did the attitude of the Princess Consort towards the Eighth Brother suddenly change?

And upon hearing his Fifth Brother’s words, Yin Lvqing’s expression really turned sour, as if he was fished out from hell, his hostility impossible to conceal.

But even so, he still had to manage a smile as he looked at Princess Consort Niu.

"Fifth Sister-in-law, it was good intentions that the Eighth Prince had in sending a few servants to take care of Fifth Brother’s daily needs, but I did not expect to upset Fifth Sister-in-law, it seems Eighth Brother has been inconsiderate."

He said.

And with these words, it was clear that he was accusing Princess Consort Niu of being disrespectful to his prince status.

But who is Princess Consort Niu? How could she be afraid of someone who had caused her and her son to be separated for many years? Even if the other party was a prince, so what?

"Here, I thank the Eighth Prince for his kind intentions."

She gave Yin Lvqing a faint smile, then glanced sideways at Prince Niu, and then looked at him.

"However, my husband is after all the legitimate Prince Niu, personally conferred by the Emperor, and I am his legitimate consort. How can I allow an outsider like Eighth Brother to place his people beside my husband?

Put nicely, it’s due to the deep brotherly love between you and my husband. Put unkindly, people outside might think that I, Princess Consort Niu, can’t even take care of my own husband.

It’s only because the citizens of Ziyan City are not the kind to spread rumors. If everyone liked to gossip and tell jokes behind others’ backs, who knows how this matter might get twisted."

She spoke to Yin Lvqing, each word deliberate.

Yin Lvqing: "!"

How had he never realized before that his Fifth Sister-in-law possessed such a sharp tongue?

What seems like a very simple matter in Fifth Brother’s eyes, has been twisted by Princess Consort Niu to sound like their marital harmony has been disrupted?

And moreover, that it was he who caused their marital disharmony to be rumored outside?

"Fifth Sister-in-law, you misunderstand, this was not my intention."

He immediately explained himself, then sighed helplessly, putting on a very aggrieved appearance, and glanced at Prince Niu, his Fifth Brother, completely portraying himself as a deeply wronged person.

"Well then, it’s still my lack of consideration that has caused Fifth Sister-in-law’s displeasure. As for those servants, deal with them however you wish."
