Princess Liang Ying's expression immediately tensed up when she saw who it was. She glared at the person beside her and demanded, "Why didn't you report that someone was coming?"
The guard trembled under the glare.
It's not their fault, really. Before they could even react, the person was right in front of them, with a dark and imposing aura that made them afraid to even move.
Song Yue walked straight past them, sat down in the high chair, placed the document on the table, and raised her chin: "Where is it?"
Even though she was unwilling, Princess Liang Ying had no choice but to compromise. She ordered someone to bring the house deeds and land deeds to the table. The thick stack of deeds made her heart bleed.
I gritted my teeth and turned my head away, pretending I hadn't seen it.
After checking the items, Song Yue handed them over to Yun Dong, smiled with great satisfaction, and waved to Princess Liang Ying: "See you another day."
As soon as the person left, Princess Liang Ying was so angry that she smashed the whole house.
I've never been scammed like this before in my entire life.
She was furious.
"Princess, should we send a message to the Eighth Prince's Consort?" the maid asked in a low voice.
Princess Liang Ying slapped the maid across the face: "Do you really want to make such a big fuss about something so shameful?"
She only lost a few shops; her assets are countless.
We can earn more money.
It's really not worth provoking a madman for the sake of a few shops.
...
Zhennan Prince's Mansion
When the maid came to report that Lord Xu had died at the hunting grounds, Xu Qing'er's first reaction was a surge of secret joy, followed by a feigned shock.
"Dead, dead?"
"Please accept my condolences, Madam," the maid said.
Xu Qing'er swallowed hard, momentarily flustered and unsure of what to do. Just then, Zhao Qingyan rushed in: "The young master was beaten thirty times in public by the Crown Princess and is now on the verge of death. He needs someone to take care of him. You should go back to the Xu family right away."
Zhao Qingyan spoke in a commanding tone.
Xu Qing'er didn't argue and quickly told the maid to pack her luggage. Before leaving, she wanted to take the two children with her, but Zhao Qingyan said, "Your Xu family is holding a funeral, so don't let the two children be tainted by bad luck."
Xu Qing'er's expression changed slightly.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has sent someone to request that you come to the palace immediately," the steward hurriedly reported from outside the door.
Zhao Qingyan asked in surprise, "What does the Crown Princess want with me?"
"People outside say that the Crown Princess has taken a liking to the Crown Prince's wife's plum blossom calligraphy and wants her to personally copy a few scriptures."
Zhao Qingyan does indeed know some plum blossom calligraphy.
She frowned, looking displeased, and refused, citing feeling unwell. The steward said with a bitter face, "Princess Consort, the imperial physician has also come with you."
The Crown Princess had guessed that Zhao Qingyan wouldn't give in easily, and even arranged for the imperial physician. Zhao Qingyan gritted her teeth and had no choice but to leave.
Upon seeing this, Xu Qing'er quickly ordered someone to take the two children away, and they went to the Xu family together.
Once they arrived at the Xu family home, Xu Qing'er finally felt relieved. Xu Lin personally came to pick her up and took the child from the nanny's arms, saying, "Elder sister."
"Let's go in first and talk about it later."
"Um."
Xu Qing'er still lives in the original courtyard.
Xu Lin said, "The Crown Prince led the civil and military officials to offer condolences at the front, and the Prince of Zhennan was also there. Several times the Prince of Zhennan wanted to send people out, but they were stopped by the Crown Prince's men."
Xu Qing'er suddenly realized why she had been able to take the two children away so easily today. She gripped Xu Lin's sleeve tightly and lowered her voice: "From today onwards, no matter what anyone says, we must stand firmly on the side of the Crown Princess."
Over the past six months, she has witnessed the rise of the Crown Princess.
Never offend the Crown Princess.
"Elder sister, I know." Xu Lin nodded.
Apart from him, everyone in the Xu family of this generation followed the lead of Empress Dowager Xu. His father, in particular, suddenly seemed to have become a different person. He loathed his mother, Madam Xu, and even wanted to depose her as the principal wife and put that other woman in charge.
That's absolutely insane.
Xu Qing'er changed into a white dress and went to the mourning hall. Sure enough, she saw the Crown Prince's departing figure. When she looked away, she also saw the Prince of Zhennan's ashen face and Pei Zhao, who was so weak that he could barely kneel.
"Father, Crown Prince." Xu Qing'er curtsied.
The Prince of Zhennan glanced at Xu Qing'er and said in a deep voice, "Please accept my condolences and remember to take good care of Zhao'er."
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded obediently.
The Prince of Zhennan didn't even bother to put on a show. He hurriedly gave a few instructions and left. As soon as he left, Xu Qing'er stood up straight.
“You wretch!” Pei Zhao whispered.
Xu Qing'er slowly turned around, frowning as she looked at Pei Zhao.
"Don't think I don't know what you've been doing behind my back!" Pei Zhao's eyebrows were almost knitted together as he glared at Xu Qing'er with extreme displeasure: "From now on, don't even think about me treating you kindly again."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lin became somewhat impatient and wanted to step forward to argue, but Xu Qing'er stopped him. She smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps the young master has misunderstood me. However, it doesn't matter. We are husband and wife after all, and I will serve the young master well."
"You?" Pei Zhao looked disgusted.
Xu Qing'er didn't say anything, but knelt down and burned paper money for Lord Xu with her eyes down, unable to squeeze out a single tear.
The eldest son of the Xu family died at the hunting grounds, at the hands of his son-in-law, which caused a great deal of gossip. Several branches of the Xu family were even more eager to become the next head of the Xu family.
The Xu family has four branches, all of whom are legitimate sons. Empress Dowager Xu recommended the second branch's master and ordered that the second wife be summoned to the palace for questioning.
Unfortunately, before the Second Madam entered the palace, she was invited to Yikun Palace by a palace maid.
Inside Yikun Palace
Song Yue stared at the scripture word by word, then shook her head. Yun Dong took it and tore it up on the spot. Zhao Qingyan's eyes widened: "Stop!"
