Chapter 134
Nalan Jingwen glanced at everyone. Prime Minister Rong had three husbands. Rong Hengyu was born to his principal husband, while the other two had no children.
A step to the side and behind Prime Minister Rong was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes and with elegant and graceful manners. Time had left no trace on his face, and his temperament was somewhat similar to that of Rong Hengyu. He should be Prime Minister Rong's wife, Qin Shi.
However, he did not resemble Rong Hengyu at all. Nalan Jingwen turned her gaze to the serious-looking Prime Minister Rong again and realized that Rong Hengyu did not look like any of them.
Rong Hengyu has a refined and elegant appearance, making her an unforgettable beauty. On the other hand, Prime Minister Rong and the others have dignified appearances and superior temperament.
To put it simply, it was like winning the genetic lottery; Rong Hengyu stood out from the crowd.
Nalan Jingwen glanced at Rong Hengyu and couldn't help but sigh. It was a blessing from heaven that parents of ordinary appearance could give birth to such a beautiful son.
I initially thought Rong Hengyu was so beautiful because he looked like his father, but now it seems I was wrong.
When Rong Hengyu saw her looking over, he gave her a faint smile.
Nalan Jingwen returned the smile.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Prime Minister Rong made a plan in his mind and said, "Please, Your Highness and Your Highness's consort, enter the residence."
"Today I have only brought my husband back to visit you two elders; there is no need for such formalities."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Rong solemnly replied, "The rules of etiquette must not be disregarded."
Nalan Jingwen said no more and led Rong Hengyu into the mansion.
As she passed by Prime Minister Rong, Rong Hengyu glanced at her subtly, and she immediately lowered her head.
The group arrived at the main hall. Nalan Jingwen sat in the main seat, Rong Hengyu sat to her right, and Prime Minister Rong sat to her left. Beside her was her husband, Madam Qin.
"Prime Minister Rong, let's not get down to business today. I was impolite not to accompany Hengyu when he returned to the manor last time."
Although that's what they said, everyone knew it was just polite talk. After all, as a prince, no one would say anything if he didn't accompany his husband back to his wife's family home.
"Your Highness is busy with official duties, and these trivial matters should not bother you."
Busy with official duties? At that time, she neither attended court nor managed affairs, so what official duties could she have?
However, Nalan Jingwen did not refute it. He clapped his hands, and the servants carried up the boxes one by one.
"This is a gift from Hengyu to you two, and it has been prepared for a long time."
Rong Hengyu was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and looked over. Nalan Jingwen returned the look with a reassuring gaze.
Prime Minister Rong almost subconsciously looked at Rong Hengyu, who was sitting opposite him. The latter nodded slightly, and Prime Minister Rong immediately said, "Your subject thanks Your Highness and Your Highness."
Nalan Jingwen stood up and said, "Since that's the case, you and your son must have a lot to say. It's not convenient for you to talk while I'm here. I'll just take a walk around the manor. You can send someone to call me when you're done."
"Hongyun, go and lead the way for the prince."
"That's what Prime Minister Rong said."
Nalan Jingwen glanced at her, but did not refuse, letting Hongyun follow behind him.
"Your Highness, please."
In fact, she was quite familiar with the Prime Minister's residence, after all, the original owner of this body had visited it quite often in order to pursue Rong Hengyu.
She had no intention of wandering around and wanted to go directly to Rong Hengyu's former courtyard. As she walked slowly, she heard the sound of a heavy object falling into the water and a man's scream as she passed by the garden.
"Quick! Someone come quick! Our young master has fallen into the water! Is anyone there?! Help!!"
Nalan Jing looked over and saw a servant sitting slumped by the pond, crying and screaming, while the young master he was talking about was struggling in the water and was about to drown. However, most of the servants were gathered in the main hall, and there was no one around the garden.
She turned to look at Hongyun, who looked at her with a hint of confusion but made no attempt to save her.
"Aren't you going to save him?"
Hongyun looked at her and said seriously, "His Highness has not given any orders."
Nalan Jingwen nodded in satisfaction, "Let's rescue them. After all, they are from the Rong family. It would be bad if something happened to them."
Upon receiving the order, Hongyun immediately used her lightness skill to scoop up the person who was struggling in the water and then returned to throw him in front of Nalan Jingwen.
Because of the large movement, Nalan Jingwen inevitably got splashed with water, leaving him speechless.
The man on the ground fainted. Nalan Jingwen squatted down to check his pulse, which was still faintly beating. She gathered her Xuan power at her fingertips and then forced the water he had drunk out.
The person who had fainted immediately started coughing. Seeing that he had woken up, Nalan Jingwen was about to get up and leave when he was stopped by the person behind him after taking only two steps.
"Stop right there! You lecherous scoundrel, what have you done to my young master?! How dare you take liberties with him?!"
The servant boy ran over and blocked Nalan Jingwen's way, preventing her from leaving, his face full of resentment.
Seeing this, Hongyun immediately stepped forward to block Nalan Jingwen and shouted sternly, "Insolence!"
Startled by Hongyun's roar, he trembled and instinctively took a few steps back, but as if remembering something, he stubbornly refused to leave and stood in front of her.
"What are you yelling about! My young master has been harassed, and you think you can just walk away like this?"
Nalan Jingwen remained indifferent as he turned to look at the man who had already sat up on the ground. When the man saw Nalan Jingwen, his eyes lit up, but then he lowered his eyes, his face pale, looking weak and pitiful.
"You tell me, did I take liberties with you?"
The man seemed very afraid of her; upon hearing her words, he shrank back a few times.
"Han Chen is unaware..."
The servant rushed over and blocked the man's path. "You took advantage of my young master while he was unconscious and touched him. You don't even dare to admit it and you even threatened my young master!"
Nalan Jingwen chuckled softly, glanced at Hongyun, who immediately understood and disappeared from the spot.
She turned her head again, looking at the two of them with a calm and collected expression, her eyes filled with an almost imperceptible coldness.
"You need evidence to support your claims. Do you have any evidence?"
The servant, with his neck stiffened, declared confidently, "I saw it with my own eyes, I am the witness!"
Nalan Jingwen nodded. "Alright, what do you want?"
Upon hearing this, the servant's eyes darted around, and he said, "Since you have been disrespectful to my young master, you must take responsibility! You must marry my young master in a grand sedan chair carried by eight men!"
Nalan Jingwen's smile faded slightly as he looked at the man behind him. The man had wide, teary eyes, looking pitiful and helpless, as if he had truly been taken advantage of.
"Who are you?"
The Rong family only has one son, Rong Hengyu. So who is this man?
"Lord Rong's husband is my young master's uncle!"
Nalan Jingwen instantly understood and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are! You've touched my young master, so you have to take responsibility!"
