Zhao Yaru felt unhappy after hearing this and looked at the Zhao brothers coldly.
Zhao Mingde and Zhao Mingshun looked at her expression and said awkwardly, "We'll do as you say. Let's go."
The three of them quietly left the courtyard and sped away in a carriage.
After returning to Xu's house, Zhao Yaru still couldn't suppress her inner ecstasy.
Wanqing succeeded, she really won the prince. This daughter is not stupid, not at all, she is completely at her own pace.
Zhao Yaru paced back and forth in the room excitedly. As long as Wanqing entered the Eastern Palace, she would have a way to make her the Crown Princess, and later, the Queen who would rule the country.
The more she thought about it, the harder it became to sleep. In the candlelight, her face was already flushed with joy.
"Madam, are you feeling unwell? I am looking at your face..."
Seeing Mother Gu's concern, Zhao Yaru also showed a rare good face. She took Mother Gu's hand and said, "Mother Gu, you have suffered with me over the years. In the future, we will have a good life together."
Mother Gu was confused, then she thought of something and her eyes widened, "Madam, you, you mean, the young lady, she is successful."
Zhao Yaru nodded vigorously. "Yes, Wanqing succeeded. She is smarter than I thought. I misunderstood her and wrongly blamed her before."
Mother Gu's eyes instantly filled with tears. "Madam, your good day has finally come. After enduring so much injustice, the clouds will finally clear and the moon will shine."
Zhao Yaru also had tears in her eyes. "Yes, thinking about how Xu Wanyan and Huang Yueping bullied my mother and me, I really can't recall those days."
Mother Gu took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of Zhao Yaru's eyes. "Don't cry, Madam. From now on, no one will dare to bully you."
Zhao Yaru nodded, then burst into laughter.

"Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xu Wanqing..."
Leng Ning looked at the scene and found it difficult to speak. After all, the second young lady was not married yet.
"They got together and did something indecent?"
Xu Wanyan said it casually, leaving Leng Ning stunned.
How dare she say that!
Xu Wanyan looked at her stunned expression and chuckled, "Is that what I said? Could it be that I guessed wrong?"
Leng Ning quickly shook his head, "Miss, you are right. It is me who has many concerns."
Xu Wanyan sneered. Doesn’t she know what Xu Wanqing can do?
Apart from her beauty, which she was proud of, what else could she be used for?
"Go, spread the news. Xu Wanqing is pregnant with the eldest brother-in-law's child."
"yes!"
"Also, will your prince inform the Lin family about this?"
Xu Wanyan's face was full of inquiry.
He values the Lin family so much, and Lin Yue'e is still the Crown Princess right now, so he should take action!
"Miss, Xiao Mengzi has already written to the prince. I think there will be news soon."
Xu Wanyan nodded. In that case, she would not worry about the Lin family anymore.
"By the way, what about the Su family?"
"Young Master Su said the general met an old friend on his way back, so he was delayed for two days. He should be here tonight..."
Xu Wanyan nodded and said, "I'll visit my grandfather tomorrow after he's had a good rest."
"Okay, I will inform Master Su."
Xu Wanyan looked at Leng Ning and said, "You are the prince's man, but I didn't expect that you would have to do these little things all day long. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."
Leng Ning quickly clasped his fists and said, "Miss, I just follow orders. The prince transferred me here, so I should share your worries."
"Thank you!"
Xu Wanyan was grateful from the bottom of her heart.
Leng Ning's face flushed a little, "Miss, you are too polite."
The next morning, Xu Wanyan got up early.
"Miss, why are you up so early?"
Qiao Yun looked at her young lady suspiciously. There was nothing going on in the mansion recently, and she usually got up late. What happened today?
Xu Wanyan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
"What day?" Qiao Yun looked confused.
Xiyue smiled and said, "Qiaoyun, are you confused? Today is the day when the eldest lady returns home!"
Qiao Yun curled her lips, her face full of disdain, "What does it have to do with us whether she comes back or not?"
Xiyue wanted to say something, but in the end she kept silent.
Seeing this, Xu Wanyan couldn't help but remind her, "Qiaoyun, things might get different in the future. Xu Wanqing might soon be able to climb up the social ladder. If you can avoid provoking her, try not to."
Hearing the lady say this, Qiao Yun stopped talking and nodded seriously.
Xu Wanyan looked at the door in the distance, waiting for today's good show.
Lu family
Sun no longer cursed as much as before, but she couldn't help but scold Xixue.
She was made to work non-stop during the day, washing all the clothes in the house and cooking the meals.
Originally, some of these were Xichun's responsibilities, but once Sun spoke, Xichun no longer had to do them, and everything belonged to Xixue.
Xixue felt wronged several times and looked at Lu Mingxuan eagerly. She didn't expect that Lu Mingxuan was only gentle with her when they made love at night.
During the day, he turned a blind eye to her grievances.
Although it was February, the water was still a little cold. Looking at her red and swollen hands, Xixue began to hate herself.
Hate Xu Wanqing, hate Zhao Yaru, hate Sun.
"Who are you showing off to? I'm telling you, hurry up and wash. After you're done, we'll go to Xu's together."
Hearing this, Xixue was stunned, "What are you going to do at Xu's house?"
"What did you say? Of course I'm going to accompany you back to your parents' home. Don't you need to go back to your parents' home after you marry into our Lu family?"
The teasing look in Sun's eyes made Xixue's face turn pale. She stammered for a long time but couldn't say anything.
Seeing her like this, Sun became even more angry: "Hurry up and wash. I'll go with you after you're done."
Only then did Xixue realize that the old lady was going to cause trouble at the Xu family.
"Madam, Madam told me not to go back." Xichun explained quickly.
She was right. Zhao Yaru did ask them not to go back home, otherwise the situation would be difficult to deal with.
"What?"
Sun jumped up on the spot.
"How can we not go back? We must go back. My Mingxuan cannot be bullied by them like this. We must go back, and I will go with them."
After saying that, she rushed to the gift box, took a pair of scissors and was about to leave.
"Madam, Madam..."
Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Xichun quickly asked Lu Mingxuan for help.
Lu Mingxuan, who had been silent the whole time, put away the gloom on his face. He looked at his frantic mother and said soothingly, "Mom, why are you doing this? The Xu family is so powerful. If you act like this, you will be at a disadvantage and might even be charged with a crime!"
After saying that, he whispered in Sun's ear, "Mother, revenge is a long time away. I know in my heart that sooner or later I will make the Xu family pay the price!"
Seeing her son's cruel expression, Sun put down the scissors and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. We'll go to the Xu family today to ask for an explanation."
