Fortunately, her daughter was destined to survive and met Qiu Feng, otherwise she would have lost her.

Thinking of this, Madam Xu said to Yunzhu, "Zhu'er, why don't we arrange for them to stay in the front yard? We can say they are distant relatives of mine who need to stay at the mansion for a while. What do you think?"

"Mother, really? You're willing to keep him?"

"You said it yourself, he's your savior." Seeing her daughter's happy expression, Madam Xu also became happy.

However, the thought of her daughter falling into the water and being rescued by a servant made her feel uneasy.

If this matter isn't suppressed, my daughter's reputation will be ruined.

But she was merely the wife of a minor fifth-rank official, making it difficult to suppress the matter. This was because the people who accompanied Yunzhu on the lake excursion were all of high status.

If Princess Langhua or the Eldest Princess were to speak.

With this in mind, Madam Xu decided to send an invitation to the princess's residence.

"Zhu'er, your fever has just gone down, so rest well. I have something to attend to, so I'll head back now. If anything happens, remember to have someone come and let me know."

"Yes, Mother!"

As soon as Madam Xu left, Yunzhu immediately had her maid fetch Qiu Feng and said to him, "Young Master Qiu, my mother and I have discussed it. From now on, you will live in the front courtyard and tell others that you are my mother's relative."

Qiu Feng had originally thought he was going to leave, but unexpectedly he was able to stay. For him, it didn't matter where he lived.

Therefore, he happily moved to the front yard with Yunzhu's maid.

The fact that outsiders had moved into the front yard naturally didn't escape Yun Cheng's notice. After learning that they were relatives from Xu's maternal side, he didn't say anything more.

After settling Qiu Feng in, Madam Xu immediately sent the invitation to the Princess's residence.

In the past, the Princess would never have read Xu's letter. But since the person introduced by Yunzhu helped her detoxify, she had to give Xu some face.

Therefore, when she learned that Ms. Xu was coming to visit, she immediately agreed.

Upon receiving the reply, Madam Xu was very pleased. She went to the storeroom to select a presentable gift and then headed to the Princess's residence.

Upon meeting the Princess, Madam Xu presented her gifts before explaining the purpose of her visit.

The eldest princess did not refuse, and Princess Langhua was also involved in this matter. Anyone with eyes could see that Yunzhu was acting under orders.

Therefore, she had sent people to warn those families early on, so no one would tell anyone for the time being.

However, it will probably be quite difficult for Yunzhu to find a good family. Although no one will say anything about this openly, those who need to know probably know it behind her back.

Once Yunzhu is examined, someone will definitely bring up this matter.

Xu was naturally aware of this, but she took it one step at a time, hoping that with time, the matter would pass.

Having achieved her goal, Madam Xu didn't linger. She was perceptive enough to know better. After all, she was merely the wife of a lowly fifth-rank official, hardly worthy of the Princess's attention.

She only hoped that her daughter could befriend Princess Langhua, so that the Eldest Princess would look up to her in the future.

After Xu left, the Princess asked Granny Fang, who was standing nearby, "Granny Fang, do you think Xu is any good?"

"Does the princess want to use her to deal with Yunzhi?" As expected of the eldest princess's confidante, Granny Fang immediately understood her meaning.

“That’s right. Although there are rumors that Yunzhi has severed ties with the Yun family, she is still Xu’s daughter. If Xu were in danger, she wouldn’t be so heartless, would she?”

The eldest princess felt that blood ties could not be severed, and even if Yunzhi spoke with great resolve, she might not truly mean it.
