Chapter 167 The Crux

Jun Wuyou nodded.

Alas! Liu sighed heavily. After saying so much, all the problems were here. She said, "Because your third sister is more suitable than you. Who is smarter, you or your third sister?

The backyard of the prince's mansion is no different from the emperor's harem. It is full of calculations and conspiracies. The women are all jealous of each other for the prince and use all means to gain his favor. You'er could not have imagined that it was a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

There, just like your grandfather and father were in the officialdom, you cannot make even a single wrong step. A slight mistake can lead you into an abyss.

Besides, which of the prince's women is not beautiful? Which of them does not have a powerful family as a backer? Among such a group of women, You'er, with such a simple personality, how long do you think you can survive in such a place?"

Jun Wuyou finally understood after hearing this, and her heart shuddered. She had never thought that the Prince's Mansion was so horrible, like hell. She didn't want to go to such a place. She shook her head and said, "Mother, You'er understands. You'er will never fight for it again."

Liu hugged her and was extremely happy. Her You'er was very smart and understood everything she said. She only blamed herself for protecting her too well. She thought that she was still young and had never taught her some things about the rear quarters.

The harems of high-ranking officials are no less magnificent than the emperor's harem.

There are endless private and dirty things happening, and only in the Jun Mansion are there fewer of them. The old master is very self-disciplined and has only one wife in his life, without even a maid. There are no such troubles in his harem.

As for the sons, the old man had only two sons. The second son had been serving the old man's parents in his hometown in the northwest, and the eldest son was with the old man.

The only thing that made her regretful was that her husband was not like the old man, who had one wife and three concubines. Fortunately, only one concubine gave birth to a illegitimate son, and the other two sons and one daughter were born from her, the legal wife.

Even so, the concubines were jealous of each other every day, which made her very worried.

But compared with the backyards of those aristocratic families in the capital, the Jun family is simply living in a peaceful and prosperous era.

"It's good that You'er understands. Mother is happy for you. Your third sister is better than you in every way. I have to admit that. When you have nothing to do, go play with her more often."

Liu had to admit that although her You'er was a little prettier than Jun Wushuang, there was no shortage of beautiful women in the Prince's Mansion, all of them were stunningly beautiful. What they competed with was their brains and means.

Jun Wushuang is indeed much smarter than You'er, and much calmer.

There is no need to compete with Jun Wushuang. She has established a firm foothold in the Prince's Mansion, which will only benefit the Jun Mansion and not harm it.

Mrs. Liu was not stupid. She loved her daughter, but the future of her two sons was more important.

In the future, Jun Wuyou will win the favor of the prince, and her son, as the eldest son of the family, will naturally benefit first.

Given the old man's personality, he would never let the second branch dominate over the first branch.

"Okay, mother, You'er understands."

Jun Wuyou burst into laughter and threw herself into Liu's arms, saying in a sweet voice.

Liu caressed Jun Wuyou's back lovingly. She was really happy that You'er listened to her words, and today's efforts were not in vain.

Liu helped Jun Wuyou up, asked the maids and servants to quickly help her wash and comb her hair, and let her stay in Furong, and she would personally teach her every day from then on.

On the other side, as soon as the Liu mother and daughter left, Madam Liu also hurried over with the court physician, and the court physician quickly took the pulse of Tutor Jun.

The court physician was well aware of Tutor Jun's physical condition. He was already overworked, and with the added pressure of anger and depression, his illness was not serious. As long as he received timely treatment, he would be fine.

After giving some instructions to Master Jun, the court physician went to get the medicine and boil it.

Tutor Jun also understood his own physical condition and nodded. Then he looked at Liu, his second daughter-in-law. He had never seen her face to face. In his eyes, Liu was the daughter of a merchant and had a smell of money. He had always looked down on her.

When I saw Liu today, I found her dignified, gentle and generous. She looked more like the mistress of the house than Liu. Then I looked at Jun Wushuang again. This child was calm and steady, and he never panicked when encountering problems.

Thinking about Liu's mother and daughter again, and comparing them in his mind, he came to a higher opinion. He sighed and thought it was a pity that they were the second wife.

Since ancient times, inheritance has been passed down to the eldest grandson of the family. He cannot break the tradition and be criticized.

"Wushuang, just stay home and relax. After what happened today, no one will bother you anymore."

Tutor Jun tried to comfort Jun Wushuang, and what he said was very clear. He just hoped that the mansion would be peaceful and quiet before the marriage was granted, and that no more trouble would arise.

Jun Wushuang said respectfully, "Yes, Grandfather, I'm sorry to have troubled you today. Please rest first. We will come to see you later."

Grand Tutor Jun looked at her lovingly and nodded, thinking that this child had a good character. He liked his granddaughter more and more. He was indeed very tired and wanted to rest.

"Dad, your daughter-in-law is leaving."

Madam Liu also took her leave and left the study with Jun Wushuang.

After coming out, the mother and daughter didn't speak. Jun Wushuang went straight to Wushuang Courtyard. Madam Liu did not return to her courtyard, but followed her to Wushuang Courtyard.

But the mother and daughter had nothing to say to each other along the way. When they arrived at the gate of Wushuang Courtyard, they stopped at the same time.

Jun Wushuang turned around to look at Madam Liu and said, "Mother, go back too."

Madam Liu looked at her and said nothing. In fact, she didn't know what to say. Her behavior today disappointed her daughter. She nodded, let the maid support her, and returned to her yard.

Jun Wushuang watched her leave before entering her own yard. After returning, she rewarded all the servants in the yard. She was very satisfied with the servants' behavior today.

The thing that had been troubling her was finally solved. Jun Wushuang felt relaxed all over. After lunch, she made preparations in the house.

Entering the Prince’s Mansion, that is where the real battlefield lies.

When Su Yue woke up, Murong Li was no longer by her side. She jumped out of bed and put on her clothes. She used her mental power to scan and found Murong Li in the kitchen.

She came to the kitchen.

Murong Li heard the footsteps, raised his head and smiled, "Yue'er, you're up. You must be hungry. The meal will be ready soon. Wait a moment."

Su Yue nodded, reached out and touched his forehead, then grabbed his left hand and felt his pulse. He was fine.

Su Yue secretly sighed that people who practiced martial arts had good physical fitness. After drinking just one dose of medicine, she was fine.

"Are you still feeling unwell?" Su Yue asked again.

"No more, it's fine." Murong Li put down the work in his hands, held her in his arms, and kissed her on the lips.

"Thank you, Yue'er."

He had a fever last night.

In the past, he was sick alone, no one took care of him, and no one came to see him. He really hoped that his mother would take care of him like other mothers, but no one did, not even a single visit.
