…
With the arrival of the Fan family, the Duke of Jingguo's mansion suddenly became lively.
The servants began moving, carrying nearly a hundred boxes of all sizes. The entire Fan family was accommodated in the guest courtyard. The commotion was so great that it caused considerable dissatisfaction in the Rose Courtyard, which was separated by only a wall.
Yuan Fuling sat in the courtyard listening to the commotion on the other side. She frowned and said, "The second branch of the family is really foolish. How could they bring the Fan family into the house? Isn't this just inviting a wolf into the house?"
Song Yao was also disturbed by the noise. She came in pouting and asked, "Auntie, why are there so many peasants in the manor?"
"Shh!" Yuan Fuling quickly pulled the person over and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. The Fan family is your grandmother's maternal family. Of course, your grandmother won't be happy to hear this."
Song Yao pouted.
"Why aren't you embroidering your wedding dress in the courtyard? What are you doing here?"
Song Yao sighed, but the maid behind her said, "It's because the commotion at Tingyu Pavilion is too big. The young master has been cursing in the courtyard all day. Doctors are coming and going, making it impossible for the young lady to concentrate on embroidering her wedding dress."
Song Hengchuan was weak due to excessive blood loss. The old lady felt sorry for her grandson and ordered someone to brew blood-replenishing medicine in the courtyard. Song Hengchuan was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Cangzhu had been taken away. He didn't dare to cause trouble for Song Yue, so he could only vent his anger by cursing in the courtyard.
At first, Song Yao would try to persuade her, but later she got annoyed and simply pretended to be sick and stopped going.
"Chuan-ge'er couldn't understand it himself and missed out on a bright future. The princess, as his mother, is truly ruthless." Yuan Fuling clicked her tongue.
If it were her own son, Yuan Fuling would guarantee to take care of him personally and would never entrust his care to anyone else, nor would she allow Song Hengchuan to treat Song Yue with such an attitude.
When news of Song Hengchuan's excessive blood loss reached Fan Lianyi, she was extremely anxious and clutched her handkerchief tightly, wanting to go to Tingyuxuan to check on him.
But the maid stopped him.
"Miss, why don't we wait until the Duke arrives before we go?"
Fan Lianyi bit her lip tightly and could only wait patiently.
As darkness fell, a familiar figure flashed into the courtyard. Fan Lianyi looked at the person who had entered, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.
The Duke of Jingguo felt extremely distressed and stepped forward to embrace her, comforting her: "Cousin."
“You promised me you would give Chuan Ge’er a good life, but now, Chuan Ge’er has been bullied and seriously injured. As his own mother, I can’t even take a look at him. Isn’t this going to kill me?” Fan Lianyi choked up.
Fan Lianyi sobbed and leaned on the Duke of Jingguo's shoulder, crying, and said, "Besides, how can the princess be so heartless, indulging that girl's cruelty?"
Back then, Fan Lianyi was unwilling to become a concubine, let alone live under the princess's rule, so she left the Duke of Jingguo's mansion.
She discovered she was pregnant on the day she left the manor, so the Duke of Jingguo arranged for her to stay in a separate courtyard. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to her eldest son, and the Duke of Jingguo was overjoyed.
"Feng Lang, has the princess discovered something?" Fan Lianyi suddenly asked.
She had always felt that the Emperor's decree summoning the Fan family to the capital was suspicious and too sudden.
Duke Jingguo took a deep breath and fell silent.
Fan Lianyi looked up in surprise: "You...you really know?"
