The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 288 Calculation

Aunt Guo was preoccupied and didn't notice the sighs of the others.

Wei Yanxing was trying not to laugh, but Lü Mengying couldn't stand it anymore and rescued He Wuyang.

He Wuyang was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly hid in the distance and did not approach Guo Lao Er again.

He coughed lightly, composed himself, and said, "In short, this whole thing was caused by you, Guo Lao Er, you should take responsibility."

After hesitating for a long time, Guo Lao Er asked in a low voice, "How will you take responsibility?"

"Anyway, it's not like I'm asking you to beat your little nephew to death."

Upon hearing this, Guangzong's eyes lit up. He scrambled to his feet and darted behind He Wuyang.

He didn't understand anything else, but he knew this person could save his life; as for everything else...

talk about it later!

Guo Lao Er glared at Guang Zong, his gaze no different from that of a vengeful ghost.

Zheng Xun called out, "He Wuyang."

This farce has gone on for too long, and it's time for it to end.

He Wuyang replied solemnly, "Yes."

He stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Guo Lao Er: "Guo Lao Er, you violated the agreement by bringing outsiders into the farm without permission, that's one crime; you condoned your nephew's damage to the important seedlings on the farm, that's a second crime; you witnessed your nephew insulting the princess, that's a third crime..."

"Wait, insulting the princess?"

He Wuyang sneered: "What? Have you forgotten how your nephew cursed just now? The princess was among these people and was also cursed at. Is there a problem with that?"

Feng Lao Er suspected that he was setting him up. He had just said that the matter of the seedlings could be a big deal or a small deal, but if he really wanted to downplay the matter, he would never have forced another charge on him.

His mind was working faster than ever before, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape this calamity.

He Wuyang had said long ago that matters on the estate were of utmost importance, and he had privately made the key figures sign indentures.

If these ordinary farmers are honest and hardworking, he will naturally not treat them unfairly.

But people like Feng Lao Er are opportunistic and greedy. Letting him out is risky, but using him is also unpleasant. So, sending him to prison for the rest of his life is the best option.

He was talking about things that could be big or small, and the only choices he could have were to die or live a painful life.

"no problem."

Feng Lao Er knew that the matter was already settled, and that his struggles would not change anything. Therefore, he could only utter these three words in despair.

He glanced blankly at Guangzong, who was peeking out from behind He Wuyang.

Emperor Guangzong witnessed Feng Lao Er's compromise firsthand; how could he not know that he had caused a great disaster?

He was terrified and tried to slip away at the slightest movement of his foot.

Lu Mengying looked at Feng Lao Er, Wei Yanxing was protecting the princess, and He Wuyang was not paying attention to him. This was the best time to escape.

However, he couldn't escape in the end, because he bumped into Li Maitian, who had been watching the commotion from a distance.

Li Maitian grabbed him and pushed him back to He Wuyang's feet.

He Wuyang glanced down at him and frowned.

Emperor Guangzong: I have become honest.

In reality, he was already internally screaming that he was doomed.

If even his uncle has been arrested and imprisoned, then the culprit will surely suffer even more.

For the first time, the lawless Emperor Guangzong realized that others were not his family and could not revolve around him forever.

He Wuyang was also in a dilemma. He looked at Zheng Xun and said, "Princess, this child..."

Zheng Xun looked over and saw that Emperor Guangzong was sitting stiffly in the same spot.

“Since you like it here so much, then stay here and work hard. If his family comes to ask for him, explain the cause and effect to them first. If they insist on making trouble, then arrest them all and let them work,” Zheng Xun paused, “but please don’t feel sorry for him.”

He Wuyang: Heartache?

nonexistent!

He wishes the whole world would come and hoe his fields for him!

The farce ended, and it was almost time to start work, so the onlookers gradually dispersed.

Zheng Xun looked at Granny Guo and said, "You should come with me too."

They moved indoors, everyone sat down, and Aunt Guo, holding the two children, suddenly knelt down.

Li Maitian was so startled that he jumped up from his chair: "Huh? What's going on?"

"Princess! Young Master He! This humble subject knows his mistake!"

Zheng Xun asked expressionlessly, "Where are the seedlings?"

"I know the seedlings are precious, so I moved them to other places a long time ago."

But Aunt Guo hadn't expected those seedlings to be so important; her voice was full of unease and self-blame.

No matter what kind of emotion it is, when it reaches its extreme, it often leads to a sense of confusion.

The same goes for Aunt Guo.

She was worried that the seedlings would die because of her antics, but she really didn't know what to do.

Zheng Xun pondered for a moment, then asked her, "How long have you been at the estate?"

"More than a month..."

"January...you're quite something."

It's only been a little over a month, but everyone is willing to stand by her side.

The old and new factions fought and struggled, but neither of them would say a bad word about Aunt Guo.

If Aunt Guo were a few years younger, she would definitely be the darling of the group.

No, that's not right. Who says the most beloved member of the group has to be a little girl?

Look, those seedlings weren't planted on the first day.

Those who cared for or looked after the seedlings couldn't possibly have failed to recognize that the seedlings had been switched, but they tacitly remained silent.

It's clear that Aunt Guo's child is hanging out with Guangzong.

Why didn't they stop Emperor Guangzong before he caused trouble?

After Guangzong caused trouble, the two children were so silent and quiet. Didn't anyone notice that something was wrong?

However, these two obvious points of doubt have never been pointed out.

Unable to discern Zheng Xun's emotions, Aunt Guo could only cautiously say, "It's because everyone sympathizes with this humble person."

Zheng Xun looked at He Wuyang: "You feel sorry for him too?"

When He Wuyang held up the seedling and accused Feng Lao Er, the reason he paused was because he noticed something unusual.

But he didn't expose it.

He Wuyang innocently reached out his hand: "I just made the choice that everyone would have made. What does that mean? It means that Aunt Guo is the one who has the support of the people!"

"Really?"

“However, that’s not the main reason. The most important thing is that the princess has clearly expressed her support for Aunt Guo!” he said earnestly. “I will absolutely not disobey the princess!”

Zheng Xun remained silent.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

He Wuyang lowered his head, initially remaining relatively calm.

But when he didn't get a response from Zheng Xun, his expression gradually became flustered.

Everyone's breathing became lighter and lighter, as if afraid of disturbing something.

Guo's two children were a little uneasy and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at their mother.

Grandma Guo gently hugged them and silently said, "Be quiet."

After a long silence, Zheng Xun smiled gently and said, "Of course I believe you."

Zheng Xun lowered his eyes.

She entrusted the estate to He Wuyang, and he has always done an excellent job.

There was no rush for quick success or instant benefits, nor was there any perfunctory work.

Zheng Xun trusted him completely, but appropriate reminders were still necessary.

She didn't want him to neglect his duties because of his selfishness.

Aunt Guo's situation is special. He can sympathize with her, but this is a one-time thing, and it can't happen again.

That's human nature; she can't guarantee that everyone will remain the same.

Therefore, she had to tighten the reins.
