Nangong Jiu looked at the sky.
"It's getting dark. Now that we're out, let's go to the He Mansion to see Miss He and see what's going on at her house."
"Are we going to go like this?"
"Let's just stay invisible!"
He Mansion.
Mrs. He was having a private conversation with He Ruolan.
"Lan'er, don't listen too much to what your Second Aunt and Xue Rou say. Mother always feels they have bad intentions."
After Mrs. He said this, she glanced at He Ruolan's face nervously. Seeing that she didn't show her usual impatient expression, she breathed a sigh of relief.
My daughter is finally willing to open up to me, so I can't ruin the atmosphere.
He Ruolan patted her mother's hand gently and said, "Mother, I was blind before. I thought they were good and believed in their words without a doubt.
During the days I was in a coma, I couldn't move, but my mind was clear and I could hear what you said.
When they were alone, they told us a lot of things we didn’t know before.”
Mrs. He opened her eyes wide: "What did they say?"
"Second Aunt said it would be better if I died. If I died, the first wife would have no descendants, and everything in the first wife would belong to the second wife..."
My cousin boasted that she had only delivered some information to a relative who worked at the princess’s residence, and I was dealt with by the princess…”
Madam He gritted her teeth in anger: "I see, that's why I was wondering why the eldest princess always targeted you, it turns out she was behind all this.
She has a country cousin named Aling who works as a maid in the Princess's mansion. No wonder the Princess knows everything you do.
Their second branch has been wanting our property for a long time.
Humph, even if we give it to beggars, we won’t give them a penny.
You may not know that before your mother had you, she had another baby, and the baby miscarried for unknown reasons when she was more than two months pregnant.
Even though your father didn't find anything abnormal at the time, mother still had some suspicions."
"That's really possible!"
He Ruolan took over the conversation and said seriously: "They want our eldest family to be extinct, but we don't want to do what they want.
Mother, let's find a son-in-law who is sincere in living with us, have a lot of children, and make their plans completely fail."
After the mother and daughter whispered about this and that, they smiled at each other.
Nangong Jiu and his companions saw this and left He Mansion with satisfaction.
"It seems that Miss He has changed after this incident, which is a good thing.
After all this time, it turns out that it was the people from the He family's second branch who were instigating this. They even extended their hands into the Imperial Aunt's house. They deserve to be punished."
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Xiaoxing asked excitedly.
"We don't need to take action. Miss He has her own plans. After the Royal Aunt calms down, she should clean up the Princess's Mansion.
Let's go back, we will go to the palace for a family dinner tomorrow."
Here, go home happily.
On the other side, the scene at the Princess's Mansion was quite different.
All the servants were interrogated, making everyone feel insecure.
Inside the hall.
Ning Changrong and Liu Xuan sat in the hall.
In front of them, a trembling maid was kneeling.
Bizhu, who was standing nearby, said, "Now that I think about it, every time the princess got angry, it was because of the news she spread."
After Bizhu finished speaking, the maid was so scared that she crawled on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.
"Princess, Prince Consort, this servant's news was all given to me by my cousin He Xueruo. I will never dare to do that again."
Ning Changrong slapped the tea table.
"He Xueruo, I used to think she was a good person, but I didn't expect that she was the one who was spreading rumors.
They've even reached out to the Princess's Mansion. I'll have to talk to Second Uncle He tomorrow."
Liu Xuan also gritted her teeth and said, "Drag this b*tch away, give her twenty lashes, and sell her off.
From now on, anyone who dares to gossip and disturb the peace of the Princess's residence will be beaten to death."
"Princess, please forgive me this time. I will never do it again!
Princess, please..."
The maidservant was dragged out screaming, and soon the sound of "cracking" of boards and "mumbling" of someone with a blocked mouth could be heard from outside.
But the main room fell into silence.
I don’t know how long it took.
Liu Xuan finally came back to her senses and lowered her attitude, saying, "Husband, I was wrong before, but I won't do it again. For Xuan'er, I will definitely change."
Ning Changrong nodded and said, "I am also wrong. When something happens, I just get angry and blame you for not being gentle and considerate enough, not understanding enough, and never explaining things to you properly.
The princess is right. For Xuan'er and this family, I will definitely change!
Princess, please believe me. I can swear to heaven that since I married you, I have always abided by my duties and have not done anything inappropriate with other women.
If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!
Liu Xuan was somewhat moved: "Husband, there is no need to swear such a poisonous oath. From now on, I believe you!
Now that I think about it, every time we quarreled, Xuan'er would always carefully persuade us not to quarrel. He said he was afraid, but we never listened.
I am not a good mother, and we are sorry for Xuan'er."
General's Mansion.
After dinner, the family sat in the flower hall drinking tea and chatting.
Liu Hao looked at Nangong Jiu and asked, "What's the situation with you coming to the Princess's Mansion today?"
Speaking of the Princess's Mansion, Nangong Jiu quickly climbed onto Liu Hao's body and sat down.
"Daddy, we played a trick on the Imperial Aunt and the Imperial Uncle today. Will the Imperial Aunt report us tomorrow?"
Liu Hao smiled and said, "How did you play a trick on them? Tell me about it."
Nangong Jiu shrank his head.
"Hehe... When we got there, Cousin Xuan was playing hide-and-seek with the Imperial Aunt and Uncle, so we hid him so they couldn't find him..."
After Nangong Jiu finished speaking, Liu Hao smiled and scratched the tip of the little guy's nose.
"Aren't you a fearless little devil? Are you afraid they'll report you?"
"The title of Little Devil is for bad guys." Nangong Jiu said embarrassedly.
Liu Hao teased him deliberately: "If they really report you, what are you going to do?"
The little guy felt guilty for a few breaths, then raised his little head.
"I'm not afraid of them. If I hadn't saved Miss He, she would have died, and the imperial aunt would have been imprisoned in the clan residence and subjected to seventy-two torture instruments.
So, I saved her.
Besides, I was also trying to help them. They were always so noisy, which was really not good for Cousin Xuan.
The only thing I'm afraid of is that she might target my mother."
Liu Hao smiled and said, "You did a good thing, so you really don't have to be afraid. As for your mother, she probably doesn't have that much courage."
Chu Ruoyan reminded them, "When you enter the palace tomorrow, you should be careful. It's best to avoid someone like the eldest princess. Who knows when she might go crazy again?"
"Okay, we'll pay attention..."
