Yun Xiangye looked at Princess Nan'an and nodded, "Yes."

If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. Yun Xiangye didn't have any romantic feelings for Zhao Jing, but it would be better to break it off cleanly now.

Besides, I had already promised Gu Yan not to go see Zhao Jing, and I couldn't give Gu Yan any handle.

Princess Nan'an frowned and said, "I understand."

After saying this, Princess Nan'an turned and left.

Yun Xiangye looked at Princess Nan'an's back and sighed softly.

Gu Jingyu looked up at Yun Xiangye and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother asked Sister Nan'an to come and apologize to you, but who knew she would be like this? Don't blame my brother..."

Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "Yeah."

Gu Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Xiangye went back into the room to continue embroidering. Gu Jingyu looked at the red plum blossoms she had embroidered and said, "This red plum blossom is really beautiful. Embroidered on the silver-white satin, it really looks like red plum blossoms in the snow."

Yun Xiangye chuckled softly, "It's also because Miss Lin draws well."

Gu Jingyu looked at Yun Xiangye in surprise and asked, "Did Sister Lin draw this?"

Yun Xiangye chuckled and nodded, "Yeah."

Gu Jingyu looked at the painting, which indeed had a bit of Lin Boyan's style. Gu Jingyu played with Xiao Nuonuo for a while.

There was a charcoal brazier burning in the room, and the atmosphere seemed peaceful.

Yin Liu hurried in to report, "Miss, the old lady and the wife of the Marquis of Xicheng are here, and they want to see you."

Gu Jingyu said, "Mr. Xicheng? Let them in."

Yun Xiangye put the needle aside and went to the guest hall with Gu Jingyu to meet the guests.

Yun Xiangye thought that the wife of the Marquis of Xicheng came to apologize for what happened to Wu Yong yesterday, but as soon as she arrived at the reception room, she saw the wife of the Marquis of Xicheng looking at her angrily without any apology.

The old lady of Xichengbo pointed at Yun Xiangye with her wrinkled finger and said, "Yun, quickly hand over your little maid who beat up my brother Yong!"

Gu Jingyu frowned and said, "Madam Wu, this is the Princess's residence, not a place where you can shout and yell. Besides, my sister-in-law is the Prince Ning's consort, not someone you can just point your finger at."

The old lady of Xicheng County was extremely respectful to Gu Jingyu. "Princess Jingyu, you don't know how arrogant the Yun family is when they succeed. She splashed tea on my brother Yong for no reason and even had her slave girl slap him in the face. Today I will definitely chop off that slave girl's hand to avenge my brother Yong!"

Yun Xiangye sneered. She really didn't expect that she spared Wu Yong this time in order not to embarrass Fu Qianran, but it caused the Wu family to become even more aggressive.

Gu Jingyu really didn't know what happened yesterday, but she still defended Yun Xiangye and said, "Madam Xicheng is so arrogant. How could my sister-in-law let you scold a villain?"

The old lady of Xicheng County frowned. How could this be different from the rumors? People said Yun Xiangye was of low status, not even worthy of having her daughter named Gu. Why was Gu Jingyu so protective of Yun Xiangye?

However, it was useless for Gu Jingyu to defend him. Since Yong Ge'er was released from prison, it was clear that Fu Qianran had a high status in the Eastern Palace.

Thinking of this, the old lady of Xicheng said coldly: "If you, Yun, insist on defending that slave girl today, then I will report this matter to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to give us justice."

Yun Xiangye looked at the old lady of Xicheng who was glaring at her with wide eyes and laughed. "Yesterday, I spared Wu Yong for Miss Fu's sake. If you really want to report this to His Majesty, I will not let Wu Yong off so easily."

The old lady of the West City Earl frowned and said, "You're not going to let me off easily? You, a commoner, have married into the princess's mansion and become a phoenix. Do you really think you can do whatever you want in Chang'an City?"

Gu Jingyu frowned and said, "Come here, kick these two out! The Princess's Mansion isn't a place where just any cat or dog can run wild!"

The old lady of Xicheng County, being called a "cat and dog" by a junior, frowned and said, "Princess Jingyu, are you also so confused about right and wrong? This Yun family is not even worthy of entering the gate of your Princess's Mansion."

Yun Xiangye took a deep breath. Gu Jingyu hurriedly ordered the maids on both sides, "My sister-in-law finally came back. Stop talking nonsense to me! Drag them out!"

After seeing the maid dragging the two ladies from the Xicheng Marquis's Mansion out, Gu Jingyu looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I'll complain to mother when she returns home."

Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "No need. I'm not really angry. I'm just worried they won't give up."

Gu Jingyu said: "Uncle Emperor is the most sensible one."

--

In the Fu family.

When Fu Qianran heard that the old lady of Xicheng Earl was coming to ask for a meeting, she felt fear.

As soon as I went to the courtyard, I saw my grandmother crying, "Grandma, wasn't Brother Yong released from prison?"

The wife of the Marquis of Xicheng said, "Is it enough to just release him from prison? Are we going to let him off with just a slap in the face? We have to ask the Yun family to chop off the hand of that lowly maidservant of hers, only then can my brother Yong feel relieved!"

Fu Qianran frowned and said, "Brother Yong is wrong in this matter. Fortunately, Yun Xiangye is magnanimous and doesn't want to offend me, so she let it go. How dare you still want to chop off her maid's hand? How can this be justified?"

The wife of the West City Earl asked, "How come Brother Yong is wrong? Brother Yong wouldn't allow a lowly servant to slap him. They've even bullied your cousin, and you, the Crown Princess, can't ask for justice for your cousin?"

Fu Qianran clenched her fists and said, "Grandma, justice is not on Yong'er's side."

The old lady cried out, "You only have this one cousin, the only bloodline of our Wu family, and you just let him be slapped by a lowly servant and do nothing about it? If Ah Xiu were still alive, she would never watch her only nephew being bullied by a lowly servant of a merchant's daughter!"
