Song Yushu was somewhat surprised.
He instructed the servant to take Zheng Chengye to rest, and then led Yuying and Yutao to the gate of the mansion.
A simple horse-drawn carriage was parked at the entrance.
They looked travel-worn, as if they had traveled a long way.
A maid with her hair in two buns stood in front of the carriage. Her skin was rough, and her manners were rather crude.
"You must be Madam Zheng?"
Song Yushu was a title bestowed by the emperor himself.
In addition, given Mo Yunhan's status, she is usually addressed as Madam Song, rather than Madam Zheng.
This form of address was clearly not directed at her, but at Zheng Qing.
Song Yushu's heart skipped a beat.
"Who are you? What is your relationship with my husband, Zheng Qing?"
The maid ignored her and turned to call out into the carriage, "Miss, you've found the right place."
The curtain was lifted, and a frail woman in a black cloak stepped down, supported by her maid.
Her pale face looked as if a gust of wind could blow her over. After taking a few steps, she covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed softly.
The maidservant hurriedly tightened the cloak.
Yu Tao, with her sharp eyes, pointed to the cloak and said, "Madam, this is Master's cloak. Look at the edge; it's a hidden pattern embroidered by your own hand."
Song Yushu also saw it.
The cloak the woman was wearing did indeed belong to Zheng Qing.
Her expression darkened, but she didn't retaliate yet.
The woman had already gracefully bowed.
"Younger sister Luo Ruyan greets elder sister."
Yu Ying scoffed coldly.
"Who is your sister? Stop talking nonsense."
Luo Ruyan seemed frightened by Yu Ying's attitude, and started coughing again while covering her face with her handkerchief.
Her maidservant said with a fierce face, "Why are you all so fierce? My young lady has suffered so much with Master Zheng Qing all the way. Master Zheng promised to bring my young lady to the capital to enjoy a life of luxury. If it weren't for the fact that we had to go to the palace first, Master Zheng would definitely have personally escorted my young lady back to the mansion. Why would she have to put up with all this?"
Once these words were spoken, the matter was practically settled.
Song Yushu clenched his fists in anger, his face extremely ugly.
You, Zheng Qing, are something else.
He went on a diplomatic mission and even brought back a mistress!
Luo Ruyan stopped coughing and quickly tugged at the maid's arm.
“Cuiya, don’t be disrespectful to your sister. We will be living with her in the future. Your behavior will put Master in a difficult position.”
Song Yushu could no longer tolerate it.
"Yuying, go get my gun!"
She hadn't exercised in a long time, but today she was really furious.
If Zheng Qing dares to let other women into his mansion, he will be killed along with them.
Yu Ying quickly rushed back carrying a long spear.
Upon seeing this, Luo Ruyan was so frightened that she retreated repeatedly.
Tears streamed down her face; she cried so pitifully, her face streaked with tears.
“Sister, Ruyan apologizes on behalf of Cuiya. We are new to the capital and do not know the rules, so we offended you.”
Cuiya said urgently, "Miss, you are the master's savior, and you took care of him in the cave for a day and a night. The master gave you all the tokens of his love. She cannot humiliate us like this just because we come from the countryside!"
Cuiya looked like a rough maid, and she had a very loud voice.
Many people around peeked out to see what was going on.
Song Yushu could no longer contain his temper and slammed his spear into the ground.
“Go back to where you came from. Go find Zheng Qing. I want to see if he has the guts to come in front of me and fight for your title.”
Luo Ruyan gave Cuiya a wink.
Cuiya immediately started crying loudly.
"So it turns out that the gentlemen in your capital dare to do things but not admit them, and are actually so heartless and ungrateful!"
More and more people around them started pointing and whispering.
Song Yushu was so angry that his face turned ashen.
Just as they were about to close the gates, Yun Xiaoran walked over, supported by Granny Li.
He looked as if he had been ill; his complexion was sallow.
But his face was full of excitement, like someone watching a spectacle.
“Miss Ruyan, if you really have evidence, then show it. You can’t fool my aunt with your words and actions.”
Luo Ruyan's eyes flickered.
He immediately pulled out a token and a jade-carved personal seal from his pocket.
“This was given to me by the master; you should recognize it.”
That token was Zheng Qing's official seal, and it bore the official seal of the Great Zhou Dynasty, making it impossible for it to be fake.
And that private seal was Zheng Qing's personal item.
With this mark, one could even write documents and memorials in place of Zheng Qing.
Yun Xiaoran suppressed a laugh and clicked her tongue twice. "Aunt, it seems that Uncle really trusts this Miss Ruyan completely. He even entrusted these things to her for safekeeping. It shows how sincere he is."
Yu Tao and Yu Ying stomped their feet in anger.
But facts speak louder than words, and they simply couldn't refute them.
Yu Ying looked at Song Yu Shu with concern.
"Madam, I'll send them out and wait for Master to return before we talk about it."
Yun Xiaoran said, "They've already come to the door. If we kick them out, what will become of the Prince's Mansion's reputation? Aunt, if you want to lose your temper, do it behind closed doors. Making a scene like this at the door will only embarrass Brother Yun Han."
As she spoke, she waved to Luo Ruyan again.
"Since she is my uncle's confidante, then she is family. Please come in."
Luo Ruyan quickly curtsied and said, "Thank you, sister."
Yun Xiaoran covered her mouth and laughed, "That's the wrong way to address me. I'm the prince's woman, so in terms of seniority, I should call you Aunt."
The title "little aunt" made Luo Ruyan blush.
"The master has not yet formally engaged, so it cannot be considered a formal engagement."
The two entered the mansion as if no one else was there.
Cuiya swaggered around and gave orders to the gatekeeper.
"Why aren't you going to bring down my daughter's and master's luggage?"
Yu Ying wished she could punch him.
Song Yushu said with a livid face, "Do as instructed."
