Chapter 446 Prince VS Little Brother 46
Under such circumstances, Xiao Yubai would never give them any opportunity to take advantage of.
Besides, they underestimated the guards and servants of the Regent's Palace. These people followed Xiao Yubai all day long, and each of them was smart and capable. How could they let the Yong'an Marquis's Palace succeed easily?
Besides, the Regent went to war, and the Emperor was still in the capital! If the Yong'an Marquisate really did anything to Xiao Yubai, the Emperor would not let them go.
Xiao Yubai and his group left the palace gate and headed towards the Caiyin Building. Little did they know what kind of waves this trip would stir up in the capital...
Xiao Yubai brought Mo Qin and others to the Caiyin Building with great interest. As soon as they entered the store, the exquisite silver jewelry appeared before their eyes in a dazzling array.
Xiao Yubai carefully discussed the style of the longevity lock with the shopkeeper, and carefully considered everything from the pattern on the lock body to the embellishment of accessories, striving to create a unique and blessed object for the unborn little prince.
After everything was agreed upon, Xiao Yubai raised his hand to signal Mo Qin to prepare to pay.
At this time, Mo Qin couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Lord Wang, this Caiyin Building was originally the private property of the prince. Now that you are married to the prince, it is naturally your property as well. You don't need to pay for it."
There was a hint of helplessness and a smile in his words. He was really puzzled. His own prince had taken over the affairs of the palace for quite some time, but how come he didn't even know that this was his own business?
After hearing this, Xiao Yubai suddenly had an awkward smile on his face. He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "Ah? This belongs to our family? I don't have much interest in those account books. I just leave them to the housekeeper and wait for him to report the accounts regularly."
"In that case, let's go." Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and suggested enthusiastically, "I haven't been out for some fresh air for a long time. I think we should go listen to storytelling.
I'm almost bored staying in the mansion, so I'd like to go and hear about the latest happenings in the capital. I can share them with His Majesty in my next letter." Then, he led everyone out the door.
However, as soon as they stepped out of the door of Caiyin Building, they ran into a woman in luxurious clothes, who was the wife of Marquis Yong'an.
"Xiaobai, you don't even say hello when you see your mother?" Mrs. Xiao's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. She came here in person this time, and she was already full of anger.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yubai acted as if he didn't see him, which greatly hurt his self-esteem.
In fact, Xiao Yubai was not deliberately turning a blind eye, but he had met Mrs. Xiao very few times. As time went by, he could no longer remember what his biological mother looked like.
Seeing this, Mo Qin immediately stepped forward. He stood tall and straight, with an expression neither humble nor arrogant, and said loudly: "May the wife of the Yong'an Marquis be well! You may not know that the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion and my prince have long severed their relationship, and this matter has been recorded in the Ministry of Rites.
Moreover, considering the prince's status, it is his wife who should be paying respects to him." His voice was clear and loud, attracting the attention of many passersby on the street.
"How dare you!" Madam Xiao was so angry that she trembled all over when she heard this. She glared at Mo Qin with her eyes wide open and scolded her harshly, "You are just a servant. Who gave you the courage to make such a fuss about my Yong'an Marquis Mansion?"
In her opinion, if she didn't want to cling to the power of the Regent's Palace, why would she be so humble and come to Xiao Yubai, this "ungrateful person"? Now she is being humiliated in public by a servant. How can she swallow this?
Mo Qin, however, was not afraid at all. He raised his chin slightly and responded calmly, "Please forgive me, Madam Yong'an. What I said is absolutely correct. Your Majesty personally ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle this matter of severing the marriage. It is written in black and white. If you insist on pursuing this matter and refuse to give up, I am afraid you will be charged with deceiving the emperor. You must think carefully about the consequences of this."
His words were powerful. As a first-class attendant in the Prince Regent's Palace, he had seen many big scenes in his daily life. How could he be afraid of the majesty of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion?
Even the nobles in the palace had to give him some face when they saw him.
"You...you're fine!" Madam Xiao was so angry that she couldn't speak. Her chest was heaving violently. She gasped and glared at Xiao Yubai fiercely. "You ungrateful wolf, you are so unfilial!"
The voice became sharp and piercing with anger, echoing in the air.
Xiao Yubai just glanced at him calmly and said calmly, "Madam, I have nothing to do with you. I hope you will be careful with your words."
After saying that, he left with Mo Qin and others without stopping at all.
He really didn't want to have any more entanglement with the Yong'an Marquisate. It wasn't that he was unfilial, but as the Prince of the Regent Palace, all his thoughts and actions had to be based on the interests of the Palace. He must never do anything that would damage the reputation and interests of the Palace.
