Wei Wei yawned while thinking about which snacks would be suitable for watching this drama. So while she was at it, she took some pastries and put them in her mouth.
Baili Jia Jue’s indifferent tone of voice again sounded out, “Eunuch Sun, when you’re heading to Minister Fang’s mansion, bring Miss Fang along. Let her repeat the words she’d just said to Minister Fang again, and also inform Minister Fang of what wrongs he’d committed. If the daughter he’d raised was ignorant of everything except how to eat, like the Helian family’s eldest daughter, maybe he could’ve still hold on to that head on top of his neck.”
Cough!
Wei Wei choked on the dessert in her mouth.
If this Third Prince wanted to punish people, then punish people. Why on earth must he drag her out for comparison?
And even used that kind of ‘besides eating, what else can you do’ aloof tone of voice.
However, one had to say, this man was really cruel enough in the way he did things.
Generally, if someone was being put to death, they’d be put to death.
Yet he’d insisted on having people know why he wanted to put them to death.
Wasn’t this clearly wanting to bring people even more vexation.
Was this his way of thinking that only confiscating possessions wasn’t enough to vent his anger, so he went and incidentally killed the Fang family while admonishing the Su family, since the two families both had connections to Minister Jing?
Wei Wei was indeed very smart.
Because Baili Jia Jue’s next words were, “Master Jing, do you need to compose an accounts book right now to send into court, so that Prime Minister Su along with you can plea for leniency on minister Fang’s behalf?”
“This commoner wouldn’t dare! This commoner wouldn’t dare!”
Immediately, even Minister Jing kneeled down. There wasn’t any color on his lips. There thoroughly wasn’t any of the daring and energetic complacency of the last few days.
Fang Ting Ting knew, this time, their family was thoroughly doomed.
Even until she was dragged away by people, she still didn’t understand where the crime was when all was said and done.
The number of people who received the news from afar this time was more than usual. As early as several days ago, people already began waiting for the Third Prince to come, so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to build connections.
How did they get careless and ended up offending someone.
Moreover, no one had ever informed them that the seventh prince was at White Academy…
No matter how she thought about it, Fang Ting Ting could not figure it out, because right now, besides regret, only fear of Baili Jia Jue remained.
Not merely her, even Minister Jing also didn’t dare to say anything.
He knew clearly. The reason Third Prince hadn’t seized anything from him, was because this was White Academy.
Anybody who came to White Academy all needed to abide by White Academy’s regulations. They can’t disobey the principle, and they can’t use imperial authority.
These were rules set up by the Retired Emperor. From beginning to end, no one could violate them.
That’s why Baili Jia Jue didn’t have Fang Ting Ting thrown into the dungeons, and instead, under the premise of ‘leave of absence’, to have people escort her to the Fang mansion.
And in regards to disposing of Minister Fang, the regulation was that regarding any matters outside of White Academy, Third Prince didn’t need to have any misgivings.
It was White Academy’s regulations that protected this one life of his.
When Minister Jing stood up, his back was wet with cold sweat. He cautiously sat back down in his original seat, and simply wished this evening banquet could immediately end.
Whereas Helian Jiao Er, as if her life depended on it, was in the process of making up for the consequences produced by her standing on the wrong side just now. In a soft voice, she laughingly turned behind her and instructed someone, “Tell the chef at the back to make some more food. The most important thing is to allow Seventh Prince to eat a good meal.”
After speaking, she turned towards Baili Kong Chen and smiled.
In fact, the little guy simply didn’t throw her off, as his little cute face said, “Brother, don’t need to make the uncle master chef at the back work harder, I’m fine with eating meat stuffed steamed buns.”
The hand Helian Jiao Er had lifted up stiffened. Her smiling face also almost collapsed.
Helian Mei immediately saved her from embarrassment, “Second Sister, Seventh Prince really is understanding. When I was little, I’d eat whatever I wanted to eat. I’d never think about the chef at the back working hard.”
“Mm hm. Previously, I didn’t know our little fellow student’s identity, but I’m thinking that this child is actually really steady and thoughtful. Just a moment ago, he was extremely hungry, that’s why he unexpectedly did those kinds of cute things.” Helian Jiao Er had proved herself to be shameless for a long time now. Previously, she was sneering at the little guy, and now she made a 180 degrees turn. Her praise could be said to be so watertight that not one drop of water could leak out.
Wei Wei felt that hearing this kind of flattery really was senseless. After she finished eating, she straightforwardly rested on the desktop, propped up the side of her face and began to get sleepy. She obviously already tossed the matter of the consort selection to the back of her mind.
Sitting by Baili Jia Jue’s side, the little guy cutely looked at her for a period of time. After that, he turned his head around and said, “Brother, look at that girl. She fell asleep again. It seems that she doesn’t have any interest in becoming a consort.”
“Mm hm.” Baili Jia Jue’s eyelids indifferently blinked. One totally couldn’t tell whether he was happy or angry. Merely, that pair of long and narrow eyes beneath the silver mask seemed like they had lost all warmth, so cold that it somewhat froze…
