Chapter 324 - 323 Some Past Events
Jinrong actually knew that the notorious Miss Ye from Duke An’s Mansion could stir up trouble, and that after making trouble, it was often the people from Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion who would come to clean up the mess. However, he didn’t know that there was a fixed team of people handling these situations.
"The same people always handle the aftermath? Why?" Jinrong asked in surprise.
Jiang Yifan explained, "It’s not really for any specific reason. Ye Xinyan is not easy to manage and is not favored by the heir of Duke An. The wife of the heir apparent worries that Ye Xinyan will be further loathed by the people of Duke An’s Mansion, so when Ye Xinyan causes trouble, she usually goes back to Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion to seek help from General Zhenyuan.
Zhao Gang is a hereditary servant of Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion, and he grew up with the Marquis Zhongyong’s heir. Later, he served with the heir in the military until the latter was conferred the title of General Zhenyuan, and Zhao Gang also held a military post. Therefore, General Zhenyuan treats him differently from others, and these embarrassing matters are always handled by him."
Jinrong laughed and said, "No wonder Miss Ye of the Ye Family can be so rampant in the capital. That year, she even beat up a Commandery Princess, causing such an uproar, and in the end, the issue was dropped. With the influence of Duke An’s Mansion and the protection of Marquis Zhongyong’s Mansion and General Zhenyuan, it couldn’t continue even if they wanted it to."
Jiang Yifan looked at Jinrong and asked, "There was such an incident?" He had underestimated Ye Xinyan; she actually had such spectacular exploits. The Commandery Princess, which prince’s daughter could she be?
Recalling the incident, Jinrong still found it amusing, "The daughter of Prince An Ping, Princess Xianrong, who behaves so daintily ordinarily and looks down on Miss Ye’s reputation and conduct. They were just kids then, around eleven or twelve years old. Princess Xianrong verbally mocked Miss Ye for being vulgar, and our Miss Ye, who had never suffered such an insult, immediately stepped forward and began to fight.
The two young ladies were rolling on the ground, clawing at each other, and several maids and old women servants couldn’t pull them apart. Princess Xianrong was two years older than Ye Xinyan, but Ye Xinyan was fierce enough and ruthless with her blows, matching Princess Xianrong blow for blow. Tsk tsk, you should have seen the scene... To say it was too tragic to look at is not an overstatement." Jinrong tried to restrain himself, but his schadenfreude was unmistakable.
