Chapter 293 Want to vent her anger
With the previous people finding fault and targeting her, Zheng Sisi was also at a loss as to what was going on.
During the following meal time, Zheng Sisi sat quietly next to her aunt, eating slowly. In fact, she didn't really eat, but used her wide sleeves to cover her mouth, creating space when putting food into her mouth. She was also afraid that the Grand Princess and Princess Jiaoyang would poison the food and cause her something bad or make a fool of herself.
Although she has not experienced it, she has seen too many such plots in novels and TV dramas, so she'd better be on guard.
Rose and Lily followed closely, not letting anyone except the three sisters get close to the county lady. One of the maids actually spilled the tea while pouring it, but Rose quickly blocked it, and the tea did not spill on Zheng Sisi's dress.
When communicating with guests in the men's area, many noblemen came to talk to Zheng Sisi, but Zheng Sisi cleverly refused them all.
These noble young men came here today with orders from their fathers or grandfathers, and they must make friends with Princess Anping.
It's just that Zheng Sisi has become too famous recently. She designed and made new agricultural tools and planted double-season rice. Although there is no harvest yet, the rice seeds have not been frozen to death and have germinated and grown normally, which means she is half successful. She also launched two magical tools, the thresher and the windmill. In addition, the business of Yingbin Building is very popular, so all the ministers in the court are eyeing her. If Zheng Sisi is one of their own, it would be like picking up a gold ingot. It doesn't matter whether she is a divorced woman or not, or whether she has a good reputation or not, as long as there is profit.
This is why Zheng Sisi now has to face so many young talents approaching her.
The scene on Zheng Sisi's side was also seen by the Third Prince. He had a gloomy face the whole time. Even with so many people surrounding him, he didn't want to join in the crowd. He could only eat the food on the table unhappily and tastelessly.
Many noble ladies were lingering in front of the Third Prince's table, but seeing the Third Prince's gloomy face, they dared not approach. Qingfeng was also very responsible and stopped the noble ladies who wanted to approach three meters away.
After finally waiting until the banquet was over, Zheng Sisi fled in panic, causing the three little sisters who followed her to laugh at her for a long time. They all said that they didn't expect Sister Sisi to be so embarrassed.
In front of the Grand Princess's residence, Qingfeng caught up with Zheng Sisi, bowed to her respectfully, and whispered, "County Lady, the master said he would come to the County Lady's residence to see you later."
Zheng Sisi looked back at the third prince's carriage, nodded, and then walked quickly to where the carriage was parked with two maids.
After returning to the County Lady's Mansion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zheng Sisi was a little tired from dealing with so many people today, so she went back to her room to rest as soon as she returned to the yard.
Rose and Lily told Nanny Li everything that happened in the Grand Princess's Mansion. Nanny Li was also very angry. The Grand Princess had always been domineering. The Emperor did not punish her because she was the eldest sister. Now she has set her sights on the people under the Emperor's protection.
Nanny Li ordered, "Rosefoot, go to the Third Prince's residence and tell him what happened today in detail. Let the Third Prince and the Emperor make the decision. We can't let the county lady suffer in vain."
Rose accepted the order: "Okay, Mammy, I'll go to the Third Prince's Mansion." Then she left.
After spending some time together, Nanny Li and all the servants in the County Lord's Mansion respected and protected Zheng Sisi like a deity. Now that Zheng Sisi was being bullied, they all shared a common hatred and wanted to vent her anger.
In the Third Prince's mansion, when the Third Prince heard that Rose had come to report something, Qingfeng took her directly to the study. After listening to Rose's story, the Third Prince was also very angry and felt sorry for Sisi being bullied.
The Third Prince ordered, "Qingzhu, go to the pavilion and spread the news of what Princess Jiaoyang said to the farmers today. Tell the merchants in the market not to sell vegetables and food to the Grand Princess's Mansion. Find someone hidden to spread the word slowly."
Qingzhu accepted the order: "Master, please rest assured. I will do my best to ensure that the county lady will not be wronged."
After the third prince arranged things, he entered the palace again. There were some things that still required the emperor to make decisions, and he couldn't stand out too much now, otherwise he would be hated. He himself didn't care, but he was afraid of implicating Zheng Sisi.
