121. Accident!

Zheng Ying retreated from the tea room where Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Liang were talking, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The lady Liang looked straightforward and moved forward in moderation, but the occasional gaze made Zheng Ying feel very uncomfortable.

Zheng Ying has felt this kind of gaze many times these days - it was a contempt, mocking, and disdainful gaze.

Even though many people look at her and even flatter her, they turn their faces and still curl up their lips in disdain and contemptuously when they are invisible to her.

Just like many people, even if they say sarcastic jokes on the surface, Leng Mingyue can't even keep her fiancé, at most they just scathed and sympathized with a few words of sympathy. They would not look at Leng Mingyue secretly with the eyes of the woman who looked at Leng Mingyue.

Zheng Ying looked a little sad. She knew that no matter how proud she was on the surface, her reputation and eyes would follow her for many years.

But... she can't regret it. She has made a choice and can only keep going. What's more, if she doesn't even have the surface scenery and lives without expectation like Leng Mingyue, it will be even more difficult for her to accept it.

Turning around and walking out of the yard, the Fu family's huge garden was naturally not small, and it took a lot of effort back then. The garden is beautiful and prosperous in its natural scenery, and it is not inferior to the royal garden.

However, Zheng Ying didn't have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of her, and she didn't dare to go too far, so as not to find someone when Mrs. Fu sent someone to find her.

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

Zheng Ying shook his head and pointed to the pavilion in front of him, "Let's go over and sit for a while."

Seeing her appearance, Chunjuan couldn't help but complain, "The eldest young lady is too irresponsible. She throws everything to you, and she doesn't know where she has gone."

Their lady was holding a big belly to deal with a large group of guests and even pouring tea and handing water beside her wife. However, the healthy young lady didn't know where she went halfway.

Zheng Ying's smile was a little bitter. The eldest young lady could leave as she didn't care about these things. She didn't plan to make friends with these ladies to gain their favor, and she was not afraid that Mrs. Fu would not like her.

But she couldn't do it.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense. You can arrange the eldest young lady?" Zheng Ying whispered.

Chunjuan was a little dissatisfied, "It was, the eldest young lady didn't say she would help you with this kind of occasion."

Why should Leng Mingyue help her with her?

Mrs. Fu's attitude was clearly shown. If it weren't for the fact that outsiders were afraid of talking about such a banquet, I wouldn't want Leng Sa to attend.

Under such an attitude, how many of those noble ladies with a wink would risk making friends with Leng Mingyue at the risk of making Mrs. Fu unhappy? Leng Mingyue obviously understood this truth very well, so she watched the whole time without getting involved in this.

In this way, no one has to make things difficult for everyone.

"Madam Four." Before they could sit down, a somewhat cold and hard female voice came from behind them.

Zheng Ying remembered this voice firmly when she first heard it. After all, there are not many women in this world who are so arrogant, cold, tough and strong, and there is a hint of contempt and disdain that belongs to Zheng Ying alone.

"Princess Chaoyang." Zheng Ying turned around and nodded to Xiao Nanjia who was walking over with a smile.

Xiao Nanjia frowned and looked at her, "Do you know where Leng Sa went?"

Zheng Ying was stunned, "Princess is looking for sister-in-law? Sister-in-law has never come back before, and I don't know where she is going."

Xiao Nanjia looked at Zheng Ying with some dissatisfaction, and his eyes seemed to be saying, "Why are you so useless?"

Zheng Ying looked at Xiao Nanjia with a smile, as if she did not notice any disdain for her.

"Master-in-law may be tired and go back to rest first? If the princess has an urgent matter, why would you send someone to the yard of my sister-in-law to ask?"

Xiao Nanjia snorted lightly, glanced at Zheng Ying and turned around and left.

"I really don't know what a down-and-out princess has to be proud of!" Seeing Zheng Ying being wronged, Chunjuan couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

Apart from the real powerless and powerful common people these days, not many people take the royal family seriously.

Not to mention a princess, even if a prince cannot inherit the throne, he will get a prince in the future and receive a fixed monthly fee. However, the annual fee allocated to the royal family by the cabinet is fixed. If the emperor gives birth to more or spends more, the money each person will naturally receive is less.

As for the princess, there is nothing except a nice name and a dowry when she gets married. Even the title and treatment of the princess will be taken back after marriage and only the title of one princess will be retained.

For example, Xiao Nanjia can still call her princess after getting married, but there is no word Chaoyang.

Zheng Ying looked calm and said lightly: "Stop talking, it's not good to hear it. I heard that the royal family intends to marry the Zhang family."

"Yes, young lady."

"A Ying!" Mrs. Zheng hurried over with a girl, and when she saw Zheng Ying sitting in the pavilion, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Zheng's expression was solemn. She glanced around and saw that no one was passing by. Then she pulled Zheng Ying and whispered, "A Ying, something happened to your uncle!"

"Uncle?" Zheng Ying was stunned, and then realized who Mrs. Zheng was talking about.

Mrs. Zheng's original surname was Xue, who was originally from a business family in the six southern provinces. However, she did not expect that her husband gradually rose to prominence after marrying Zheng Ying's father Zheng Lian. Zheng Lian's career was smooth and naturally had the help of the Xue family. After the Zheng family got up, Zheng Lian did not forget to support her Yue family.

Xue Bin is Mrs. Zheng’s eldest brother, and his abilities are not bad. In recent years, he has gradually become the position of deputy director of the Customs Department. If there is no accident, he might be able to take the position of general director of the Shanghai Customs Department in the past two years.

"What happened to my uncle?" Zheng Ying asked.

Mrs. Zheng said anxiously, "The news from Chunyan just now said... your uncle was arrested."

"Who is so brave to catch people casually?" Zheng Ying's mind was a little confused for a moment, and he glanced at the girl standing next to Mrs. Zheng, "Chunyan, tell me again!"

Chunyan looked confused and frightened, "Little... Miss, I don't know either. Just now, my uncle called... and said that my uncle was taken away by someone 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 tremblingly, "It seems...it seems to be said to be a policeman...the police station person."

The office location of the Customs Administration is not in Yongcheng, but in Jiangcheng and Luozhou, which have sea ports near the coast, each has an office. The General Administration of Yongcheng actually does not care about any specific matters.

Xue Bin is the deputy director in charge of Luozhou Customs, but even in Luozhou who doesn’t know that he is the brother-in-law of the Zheng family? How dare the police station in Luozhou arrest people casually for no reason?

Zheng Ying immediately remembered what happened yesterday, which was really a coincidence.

Yesterday, Xue Bin just sued Fu Fengcheng and was arrested today?

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

"Mom!" Zheng Ying hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Zheng, "Mom, don't worry! Let's figure out what's going on before we can talk to Mrs.

Mrs. Zheng nodded in panic, "You are right, you are right! What else did my sister-in-law say on her phone? Did you say why the person was arrested?"

Chunyan whispered, "Those people... said that the uncle secretly seized customs goods, accepted bribes, and...smuggled profits."

"How could it be? Brother will never do such a thing!" Mrs. Zheng suddenly burst into tears and pulled Zheng Ying and said, "A Ying, you must save your uncle. He must be framed!"

Zheng Ying's heart sank. She didn't know whether the other charges were true or not. However... the batch of goods from the Wei family were indeed not as they thought the goods were not right as my uncle said to the public, but rather... he deliberately detained his goods in order to find Wei Changxiu's trouble. It was purely an accident to find something wrong with the goods.

Zheng Ying didn’t know if it was the first time Xue Bin did this kind of thing.

If... the Wei family insisted on this one...

Zheng Ying suddenly remembered something. It is said that Fu Fengcheng was fined for private purchase of equipment, but Fu Governor did not make any statement to Wei Changxiu, who helped him buy things and transport things. This is obviously abnormal.

Is it just because Wei’s family has great achievements that Governor Fu doesn’t want to offend her?

Zheng Ying shook his head, it was wrong.

"A Ying?" Seeing Zheng Ying standing there motionless, Mrs. Zheng shook her head from time to time and couldn't help but feel anxious, "What are you still thinking? Your uncle..."

Zheng Ying frowned, "Mom, I understand! Let me think about it. Did my dad know the news?"

"I have sent someone to pass the message to your father, I should have known it now, right?"

Zheng Ying nodded, "I understand, don't worry first, I'll go find Yucheng first."

"Don't you look for Mrs. Fu?" Even Mrs. Zheng knew that Fu Yucheng didn't have much real power now, and the one who could really speak was Mrs. Fu.

Zheng Ying's face was slightly dark, "Madam is talking to Mrs. Liang's wife now. Do you want me to go in and talk to her about this at this time? Don't worry, my uncle won't have any trouble in the short while, and it will be easier to talk to the wife with Yucheng helping her."

Mrs. Zheng had no other way, so she could only sigh and said, "Okay, listen to you. Go quickly, I have to go back to see your father and see what your father is going to do." When she said this, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but turn red and wipe her tears, "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, and she has been panicked now.

Zheng Ying sighed in his heart, raised his hand and pressed his forehead to suppress the dizziness and keep awake.

"Mom, don't worry. Uncle will be fine." Zheng Ying looked at Mrs. Zheng and said softly.
