On this side, Su Wu returned home and told Liu what had happened.
When Liu heard that the plan had failed, she couldn't help but complain, "Third sister-in-law, you promised it so well back then, why didn't you do it?"
"Sister-in-law, this matter cannot be blamed on me. Who knew that my second sister-in-law guessed our plan and asked Princess De'an to act as a matchmaker?"
Su Wu lowered her eyes. She had never felt so embarrassed in her life.
His disguise was exposed in front of others and he was scolded by the eldest princess.
She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
She said unhappily, "However, even though we didn't succeed, the second house may not succeed either."
If Mrs. Ye was smart, she would have heard the threat in his words. How could she dare to marry her daughter to the Jiang family?
It’s still uncertain who will win or lose.
Yu Shulan was also waiting anxiously. She was waiting in a restaurant not far from Ye Mansion.
The eldest princess came out and went straight to the restaurant.
"how?"
Yu Shulan was not afraid that the Ye family would not like her son, she was really afraid that Su Wu would play some tricks.
The eldest princess recounted what had happened, "If you hadn't proposed the idea of splitting up the family, Madam Ye might not have agreed."
"This Su Wu, I really underestimated her before."
Yu Shulan had never paid much attention to this sister-in-law before. Compared with the flamboyant Liu, her presence in the mansion was very low.
I didn't expect that she was the real person behind the scenes.
However, it seems that there is no grudge between her and me, so why is she targeting their second branch so much?
They are all family. If the second wife is not doing well, what good will it do her?
"Anyway, I have completed the task you requested of me."
Princess De'an's tired face showed a hint of pride, "When Chu Yuan gets married, please offer me a glass of wine."
"Even if you don't act as a matchmaker, you will still be invited to the wedding banquet."
Princess De'an and Yu Shulan are cousins and close friends who grew up together. They are no different from real sisters.
The two, one a scholar and the other a warrior, were once two famous figures in the capital.
"That's good. Let me hold Wanwan. I wasn't feeling well during the full moon banquet last time and couldn't attend. I'm so sorry for this little one."
Princess De'an lovingly reached out and hugged Jiang Qingwan.
"You haven't arrived yet, but I've sent you a lot of gifts."
"Those are all given to Wanwan by me, so the more the better."
Only when the eldest princess held her in her arms did Jiang Qingwan see clearly what the most miserable eldest princess described in the book looked like.
She had a resolute gaze and distinct facial features, vaguely resembling a bright and beautiful woman. However, due to years of fighting outside, her skin was somewhat dark and rough.
In addition, he had been plagued by illness for the past two years and looked very tired, but his eyes were still shining.
"You are so lucky. At your age, you still have another precious daughter. She is so cute and well-behaved. I don't want to give her back to you."
Princess De'an said this enviously. She had only one son in her life and had always dreamed of having a daughter, but unfortunately he was busy fighting wars in the past.
I don't have to fight now, but my health is not good.
[Alas, this eldest princess is also a pitiful person. She was deceived by her husband and son. She was in poor health because they drugged her. In the end, she ended up paralyzed in bed.]
[She's even worse off than the Jiang family. She's paralyzed in bed, bullied by her husband, son, and lover all day long. She can't even die if she wants to.]
Yu Shulan, who had been holding her hand, turned pale with fright at her words.
How could this happen? How could De'an end up like this? Everyone in the capital knows that her husband is gentle and considerate, and always responds to the eldest princess's requests.
The eldest princess went to war just six months after giving birth, and the prince consort raised her son alone for eight years.
Less than two years after returning, she went to war again. It was not until five years ago that she was injured on the battlefield and could no longer ride a horse, and then she settled down.
For so many years, the prince consort has always been infatuated with De'an and has been waiting for her in the capital. Even when De'an allowed the prince consort to take a concubine, the prince consort did not waver.
Not to mention a concubine, he didn't even have a maid.
Everyone says Princess De'an is lucky, but why would Wanwan say that?
"Shulan, what's wrong with you? I'm just joking with you. I won't really snatch my daughter from you."
De'an thought that her expression changed because of what he had just said, so he quickly spoke in an unpleasant tone.
"Having just one son is enough of a headache for me."
Yu Shulan forced a smile, held Jiang Qingwan's hand tightly, and asked tentatively.
"How is Tianrui doing lately?"
"Him?" De'an smiled bitterly. "He's still the same. Three days ago he said the capital was boring and wanted to stay at a farm in the suburbs for a few days. So I let him do it. After all, he has his husband with him, so nothing will happen."
[What kind of outing? They were clearly going to accompany Yun Niang. Today is Yun Niang's birthday.]
Yunniang? Yu Shulan's pupils shrank suddenly. Wasn't that Tianrui's former wet nurse?
She was a pretty and charming woman. She took good care of Tianrui. De'an even wanted to keep her in the mansion as a concubine, but the prince consort was so angry that he sent her away overnight.
At that time, Han Tianrui, who was already ten years old, made a big fuss and accused the eldest princess of driving away his wet nurse. He only stopped after being scolded by the prince consort.
It turned out that the person had not left at all, but had been kept in the farm.
Why was it like that that day? De'an clearly agreed to him taking a concubine.
As if sensing the doubts in her heart, Jiang Qingwan continued to think in his heart.
[That consort Han Wen is truly the most hypocritical person. He clearly has his childhood sweetheart Yun Niang, but for the sake of wealth and glory, he still married the eldest princess.]
[He pretends to love the eldest princess deeply, but in fact he has been secretly supporting Yunniang, even making the eldest princess and Yunniang pregnant at the same time. He is truly a master of time management.]
Later, when the princess went out to fight, he secretly replaced the real Han Tianrui with his own and Yunniang's child, and brought Yunniang into the mansion to be a wet nurse. In the Han Mansion, they were like a family of three.
[I remember that the princess also wanted to help them, but Han Wen thought that the princess had discovered something and sent them to the suburbs overnight.]
While enjoying the wealth and prosperity brought to him by the eldest princess, he was unwilling to be controlled by her. Therefore, when the eldest princess was injured on the battlefield, he secretly poisoned her medicine, causing her body to become increasingly weak and eventually paralyzed in bed.
What's even more disgusting is that he has always acted like he's loyal to the princess, making everyone sympathize with him. The emperor even promoted him and gave Han Tianrui the military power that the princess once held.
[These two men, with their wicked ambitions, had long since surrendered to Prince Chen and were key figures in his successful rebellion.]
