Chapter 782 Returning to My Mother's Home
Zhang Miaoying was humiliated by Xiao Jingyi in public, and she was so ashamed and angry that she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand into pieces.
"Humph!"
Zhang Miaoying snorted coldly and walked out of the mansion quickly.
The maids and old women dared not say anything more, they just followed with their heads down.
With the help of her maid, Zhang Miaoying got on the carriage that had been prepared outside the mansion gate. "Hurry up and go back home!"
"Yes, Princess!"
The coachman responded and waved his whip hurriedly. The carriage rumbled out of Prince Yi's Mansion and headed towards the Ci Fu Mansion.
At this moment, Zhang Miaoying could not imagine what kind of scene would be waiting for her in the Cifu Mansion.
The guards and servants who followed Zhang Jinyan to court were guarding outside the palace gate.
When the court was dismissed, they did not see their own Prime Minister leave the palace, but heard thunder-like news!
what happened?
How come our Lord Prime Minister came to attend the morning court and was thrown into the Sky Prison by the Emperor?
My master is the father-in-law of His Royal Highness Prince Yi!
how come……
how come……
The servants and guards were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, staring intently at the palace gate, searching for His Royal Highness Prince Yi's carriage...
Only then did he remember that not long ago, His Royal Highness Prince Yi's carriage had left the palace gate and was now nowhere to be seen.
After discussing it, they had to rush back to Ci Fu's Mansion to report the news.
When Zhang Miaoying returned to the Cifu Mansion, it was already in chaos!
The first lady Wang, the second lady Zhang Miaotong, as well as the concubines and illegitimate children were already crying and wailing!
Zhang Miaoying's carriage arrived at the gate of her house.
On weekdays, there are at least three or four servants guarding the gate of the Cifu Mansion.
In the past, when she returned to her parents' home, as soon as the carriage arrived, they would run down the steps to greet her with a smile on their faces, calling her "Princess" all the time and showing their courtesy.
What's going on today?
The gate of the mansion was deserted, not even a single servant was to be seen.
Zhang Miaoying got off the carriage with the help of the maid. After a moment of confusion, she walked up the stairs and entered the mansion.
Zhang Miaoying was already furious with Xiao Jingyi, and now when she saw the servants from her mother's family being negligent and lazy, her anger instantly increased.
Zhang Miaoying thought that she must discipline the servants in this house later. They were becoming more and more unruly!
When she walked up the steps and looked into the gate, she still didn't see anyone, but she could faintly hear crying and shouting coming from the second hall.
How is this going?
Zhang Miaoying hesitated for only a moment, then quickened her pace and walked towards the hanging flower gate of the second courtyard.
When she got closer, Zhang Miaoying saw several servants who were supposed to be guarding the main gate, and several maids and old women who were doing rough work, blocking the door to the second courtyard and looking inside, as if they were discussing something with each other.
Did something happen in the mansion?
My mother sent a message saying she was not feeling well and wanted to come back to see me...
Is it difficult...it is difficult...
Zhang Miaoying wondered if her mother wasn't feeling well, or even... already...
not good!
Zhang Miaoying shouted in desperation, "Get out of here, Princess!"
The servants blocking the Chuihua Gate were frightened by the loud shout and shuddered. When they turned around, they found that it was their eldest daughter.
The servants hurriedly retreated to the sides and saluted Zhang Miaoying, "Your humble servant greets the princess!"
"This slave has met the princess!"
"How is this going?
Is that Madam...?"
Zhang Miaoying hurried inside while asking the servant beside her.
"It's not Madam, it's... it's... it's Master!"
Zhang Miaoying stopped in her tracks, "Master, what's wrong with you?
Is the master ill?"
"My princess, that's not the case.
It’s the master…the master has been thrown into the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor…by the Emperor!”
"what?
How can it be? "
Zhang Miaoying widened her eyes in disbelief.
She remembered that she had met Xiao Jingyi when she had just left Prince Yi's Mansion. He should have just returned home from the morning court.
At that time, he didn't say that his father was thrown into prison by the emperor!
Zhang Miaoying didn't believe it, stared at the boy, and said in a deep voice, "Impossible, don't talk nonsense.
When I left Prince Yi's mansion, I met His Royal Highness Prince Yi. He never mentioned that my father had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor!
"Princess, it's... it's true!
The servants who followed the master waited at the palace gate for him to leave the court, but they waited until all the officials in the court had left but still did not see the master leave the palace.
After asking, I found out... that the master had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor!"
"This is real?"
Zhang Miaoying looked at the servant in front of her, then listened to the crying and shouting inside. She felt as if her feet had taken root and she stood there unable to move.
After a long while, Zhang Miaoying finally moved with difficulty towards the second gate.
When they reached the main hall, someone in the hall saw Zhang Miaoying.
"Madam, the eldest lady is back!"
"Madam, the princess is back!"
"Mother, it's my sister who's back!"
When Wang and Zhang Miaotong saw Zhang Miaoying walking in, they started crying again, like drowning people seeing a piece of driftwood.
Wang grabbed Zhang Miaoying's hand and cried, "Ying'er, the sky is falling! The sky is falling!
What happened to your dad?
Ying'er, hurry... go back to Prince Yi's Mansion and find His Royal Highness Prince Yi, and ask him to find a way to save your father!
Hurry up!
The sound of her mother's wailing rang in her ears, but at this moment, Zhang Miaoying's mind was filled with the scene when she met Xiao Jingyi at the mansion gate.
