"Now that your leg is healed, is this how you treat your uncle?" The Third Master stared at his legs and narrowed his eyes.

Until now he still hasn't found out who cured Ziqi's leg.

"Go ahead." Shangguan Ziqi just glanced at him coldly and ignored him.

He stood behind and let the two women stand in front, blocking the third master completely and not giving him the chance to pull in anyone else.

The third master stopped attacking, as his dodging action just now had already aroused Ziqi's suspicion.

It seems that I have to proceed to the second step of the plan.

The three of them came to the main courtyard.

The princess has been waiting for a long time.

She had already received the letter from her son.

When she saw Shangguan Ru's face, she was also shocked.

I really didn’t expect this!

The third wife had actually been plotting from the beginning. Her son had suffered so much because the third wife wanted to push Zishu to the throne of the crown prince.

"Ru'er greets my aunt." Shangguan Ru had adjusted her mood and bowed respectfully to the princess.

She knew that this was her real mother.

On the way, the eldest sister-in-law had already told her a lot about her eldest aunt's temper.

Gentle, kind, and very easy to get along with.

After not seeing him for many years, this face is still so gentle.

Smiling and looking at myself, I am so kind.

"Hurry up and get up. It's such a blessing that Ru'er can come back." The princess personally stepped forward and helped her up.

"Greetings, mother." Yu Yuanzheng waited for the princess to help the man up before she stepped forward and kneeled before the princess.

Shangguan Ru saw that Yu Yuanzheng's attitude towards the princess was very casual, just like a pair of real mother and daughter.

"Greetings, mother." Shangguan Ziqi also bowed.

"Well, you wrote to say that your leg has healed. Mother is really happy."

The princess also pretended to be very happy to see her son standing up healthy.

At this time, the third master and the third lady also came in.

They were still waiting to bring the person with them.

"Sister-in-law, Ru'er is a divorced woman and cannot live in the palace. You'd better let my sister-in-law take her away quickly and find a place for her to live outside. We can't let her affect the care of other children in the palace." The third lady interrupted as soon as she came in.

"I have the final say in the palace. What do you have to be afraid of as a young lady of Prince Rong's palace? Which family isn't vying to marry into the palace? As long as you don't think about marrying a concubine, do you still worry about not being able to find a daughter-in-law?" The princess' face suddenly turned cold.

"Sister-in-law, Ru'er is the daughter of my third wife, so let us make the decision ourselves." The third master also chimed in.

They really spared no effort to lead people away.

If people were really taken away by them, Yu Yuanzheng estimated that Sister Ru would not survive the night.

There will definitely be a body tomorrow morning, and it will be buried before my father arrives.

She had to find a way to keep the man under her nose.

"Mother, I think Sister Ru's personality is very similar to yours. You two are most like a mother and daughter.

"My father hasn't come yet, so why don't we let Sister Ru stay in the east wing of the main courtyard for one night and let Xiao Yue'er play with the children?" Yu Yuanzheng suggested.

"Okay, I haven't seen Ru'er for many years, Third Sister-in-law, you think it's not good for Ru'er to leave and return home, but I like her very much. Let her stay in our big room. I just want to hear about her life outside."

"How can this be? She is the daughter of our third wife. How can she live in the main courtyard? This is against the rules." How could the third wife agree to this?

䀴Just then, a maid outside the door hurried in and came to Shangguan Ziqi.

"Master, the seven guards are looking for you." She said in a low voice.

Shangguan Ziqi was very surprised. He had just arrived at the mansion and Uncle Qi An came to see him?

He hurried out of the hall.

An Qi came over and whispered a few words into Shangguan Ziqi's ear.

Hearing this, Shangguan Ziqi frowned.

how so?

He couldn't think of it anyway.

He immediately turned around and went into the house, walked up to the princess, and whispered something in her ear.

"What?" The princess was so shocked that her eyes went blank.

"Go, go and take a look." The princess immediately went out.

Yu Yuanzheng didn't know what was going on and wanted to follow out of curiosity, but then she thought that Shangguan Ru couldn't be left here, so she pulled her along as well.

But Shangguan Ziqi stopped him.

Yu Yuanzheng understood at a glance that it might not be suitable for Sister Ru to go.

Then Shangguan Ziqi whispered something in her ear, which made Yu Yuanzheng feel incredible.

"Zhilan, Zhiruo, the two of you must take good care of Sister Ru and don't let her leave the main courtyard." Yu Yuanzheng specifically instructed.

"Yes, Madam Young Master." They both answered at the same time.

"Aunt San, let's go and watch the fun together." Yu Yuanzheng pulled the third lady along as well.

Several people hurried to the garden of the palace.

As for the second master, he was furious the moment he saw Shangguan Ru at the door.

At that moment, his reason was completely overwhelmed by anger.

He entered the mansion angrily and headed towards Concubine Luo's courtyard.

He wanted to know clearly why Ru'er from the third room looked so much like her.

He had to have her say it herself.

As a result, before he reached Concubine Luo's courtyard, he met her leading her maids hurriedly heading towards the gate of the palace.

As soon as he saw her, he calmed down. When they passed by, he said coldly, "Go to the garden."

Then he continued to go to the leisure place in the palace, the Garden.

When Concubine Luo saw that the Second Master had a very unfriendly expression on his face, she knew that he had seen Ru'er.

It was because she heard that Ru'er was coming that she was anxious to go out and take a look, and it would be best if she could stop Ru'er from entering her house.

She knew too well what Ruer Mansion meant.

But now seeing the second master's expression, she knew that if she didn't go, he would definitely make a big deal out of it.

She thought about it and decided that it would be better to appease the Second Master first.

So she had to follow him to the Garden quietly and asked two maids to wait outside the garden.

When you come to the garden, behind a many-year-old big tree, the angle is just right facing the wall.

If someone comes to the garden, they generally won't see them unless they look for them specifically.

As soon as Concubine Luo arrived, the Second Master raised his hand and slapped her.

Concubine Luo was beaten so hard that she almost couldn't stand.

"Didn't you give birth to a son for me? Tell me why Shangguan Ru from the third room looks exactly like you?" The second master asked harshly without any sympathy.

"I..." Concubine Luo was beaten into tears.

She wanted to gain sympathy with her tears.

But who is the Second Master? He has played with countless women, and women’s tears are of no use to him.

"I have no patience. You'd better tell me the truth, or I'll beat you to death right now."

䀴The two of them were talking behind the tree, and had no idea that there were secret guards in the garden.

Ever since Yu Chaoyang had a miscarriage in the garden last time, An Yi arranged for an older secret guard to stay in the garden.

As soon as the secret guard heard it, he knew something was wrong and immediately left quietly to inform An Qi.

The prince was not in the palace, and An Yi followed him to the border. The guards in the palace were handed over to An Qi for management.

As soon as he got the news, he immediately reported it to Shangguan Ziqi.

The Second Master and Concubine Luo were both people without martial arts skills, and had no idea that a group of people had quietly come to the garden. The two maids that Concubine Luo had left outside the garden were immediately taken away by the secret guards.

“Wow….., twenty years ago, the Third Madam gave birth on the same day as me.

I was not supposed to give birth that day, but I don't know what happened, I accidentally slipped while taking a walk, and gave birth ten days earlier.

That day, the second old lady was out burning incense and was not in the palace, so only the third old lady was there.

I gave birth to a daughter, and Mrs. San gave birth to a son.

The Third Old Lady felt sorry for me because I had used some trickery to get into the palace and was destined not to be favored by the prince. If I didn’t have a son by my side, one could imagine how my future would be like.

So she discussed with me to exchange the son born by the third wife with the daughter born by me, and then I had a son.

If something happens to Ziqi, maybe my son can become the crown prince, and my life will be much better in the future.

Anyway, I thought that Ru'er was also in the palace, under my nose, so I agreed.

But who knew Ruer would look so much like me that I had to send her away."

Concubine Luo cried and told the story of what happened back then.

"Why didn't you tell me? I thought Zishu was my son for so many years, and I helped him everywhere and calculated his moves, but in the end I was making wedding clothes for others. You are a jinx. I won't calm down unless I teach you a lesson."

The second master was so angry that he lost his mind, grabbed Luo Ce's belt and pulled it. Then he pressed him against the tree trunk and untied his own belt.

Needless to say, what happened next was that in broad daylight there were unbearable noises, a mixture of begging for mercy and cursing.

There was a group of listeners, no one moved, just waiting for them to finish.

Everyone was looking at the big tree intently, and no one noticed that the prince and the crown prince were standing behind them.
