Chapter 154 The Third Prince Was Angry Again
The third prince limped back.
He wanted to reach out and hug Yuan Ruan, but was blocked by the tall and mighty housekeeper.
The Third Prince raised his eyebrows, and the housekeeper said slowly, "The Third Prince is not feeling well, and I am afraid that I may have caused the two nobles to fall."
Yuan Ruan was a little surprised: [Why did the Third Prince suddenly have difficulty walking? ]
System: [Let me see. Hahahaha… After the concubine beat up the domestic violence man, she became angrier and angrier. When the Third Prince came back, she first scolded him, saying, "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. She said it was a disgrace to her." Then she beat the Third Prince violently, and then the Third Prince's leg was broken. ]
Yuan Ruan: [Pfft. The Concubine is so brave! I kind of want to meet her again.]
The third prince shuddered all over and said: Please don’t see me again. If you reveal a secret, I will be pissed off. At least give me a few days to rest.
Thinking of this, the Third Prince suddenly pointed at the sun outside and coughed softly: "Ninth Princess, the weather is good today, why don't you go out for a walk?"
Yuan Ruan was not interested in sunbathing, not to mention that he hadn't even finished looking at the Three Princes' Palaces.
So she yawned and shook her head, saying, "No. I just like the Third Prince's mansion. The mansion is beautiful!"
The Third Prince shed tears silently: Let's go out for a walk together, little ancestor, there's nothing to see in the Third Prince's Palace.
The Third Prince continued to coax Yuan Ruan with sweet words, saying that there were so many fun things outside the palace, and Yuan Ruan was somewhat tempted.
At this moment, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside, but the voice was only halfway through, and then it lowered its voice and said, "What bad luck! How come I see this unfilial son again?"
Yuan Ruan didn't see the person who came, but from the voice and tone he guessed it was the old concubine.
Yuan Ruan smiled and said, "Toffee, Toffee, OK, I like it!"
She signaled to the head nanny to take her out, and happened to meet the old concubine.
"Ninth Princess." The old concubine came forward in a good mood, "My little lucky star."
Yuan Ruan was stunned, her chubby face was not showing, but in her heart she and the system were surprised: [How could she say that I am a lucky star. ]
System: [Of course! You helped her expose the domestic violence man. You dug out a borer in your family. How can you not be a lucky star? ]
The old concubine nodded slightly, the system made sense.
Yuan Ruan pursed his lips and muttered to the system: [That's true. But if the same thing happened to many people, they would probably think I was meddling in other people's business, or even blame me for bringing shame to the Third Prince's Mansion after it was exposed.]
The old concubine became anxious when she heard this, and wanted to explain herself but had no suitable words to start with.
System: [The old concubine is not that kind of person. Ah Ruan, let me tell you, what she did was simply to make the Third Prince's Mansion more embarrassed.]
Yuanruan: [Ah? You must be wrong.]
The Third Prince was startled when he heard this. He quickly looked at his old mother, and only relaxed a little when he saw that the old princess dowager was calm and composed.
System: [I was right! After beating up the domestic violence man, the old concubine stripped him of his clothes overnight and made him come to the home of the man's wife to apologize. The eldest grandson's wife's family was shocked to see the great amount of compensation and apology from the Third Prince's Mansion. The family even advised the concubine to be more gentle.]
Yuan Ruan: [Ah? This woman's family is not very reliable. ]
The concubine showed the same look as Yuan Ruan: She is just unreliable, otherwise how could she raise Ruyu to be tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and easily frightened by a few words from a man.
System: [Uh... Actually, I can understand my wife's family a little. Because when the domestic violence man passed by, not only did people beat gongs and drums, but there were also people responsible for announcing his crimes of domestic violence. The momentum was extremely huge, and everyone on Chang'an Street was talking about the Three Princes' Mansion.]
When the Third Prince heard this, his legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground.
Oh my God! Yesterday, he stared at the bastard walking around in front of his colleagues. On the same day, his son was sent to Fujing to apologize with gongs and drums. My reputation, the reputation of the Three Princes' Palace! Gone!
The Third Prince felt very aggrieved and looked at the Concubine Dowager with resentment.
However, the concubine did not feel guilty at all and glanced at him coldly: Either hold it in or get beaten!
The third prince turned his head away instantly, trying to comfort himself: This is my mother! Everything my mother does is right! Don't be angry, don't be angry!
Yuanruan was also shocked.
She had read so many time-travel novels, and she knew that when the ancestors encountered such things, they would usually try their best to cover up the scandal.
This was the first time Yuanruan had seen the old concubine beating drums and gongs to apologize, fearing that others couldn't hear her.
Yuan Ruan: [As expected of a daughter of a general, she is very powerful and swift, like a violent storm. ]
System: [Yes! And after the old concubine's incident, the reputation of the Third Prince's Palace rebounded! Today, several high-ranking families came to discuss marriage. ]
Yuanruan felt more at ease after hearing this.
The old concubine smiled and picked up Yuan Ruan, holding him high up in her arms. She said, "I will take the little lucky star to visit the mansion."
The Third Prince was startled and said hurriedly, "Mother, what's so good about this house? Why don't we go out..."
The concubine gave him a sidelong glance, and the Third Prince shut up.
The old concubine took Yuan Ruan to the front yard, and the third prince, worried about her, followed her out.
Just as the three of them walked out of the house, a very handsome young man suddenly walked in.
The visitor had a slender figure, a wasp waist and an ape back. Under his very light sword-like brows were a pair of deep and bright peach blossom eyes, and he exuded the clean aura of a young scholar.
The young man first bowed respectfully and said, "Grandmother." Then he bowed to Yuan Ruan and said, "Greetings to the Ninth Princess. How is the Imperial Master?"
Yuan Ruan waved her hand: "Okay, okay."
The old concubine saw him smiling so much that her eyes narrowed: "Kuan'er is back. You are the one who suffered the most in this family. Otherwise, I would not be able to live in this palace for even a day."
The young man smiled helplessly, "Grandma, I really don't dare to accept your words. If it weren't for the care of the elders, I wouldn't be where I am today."
The old concubine immediately showed a look of pity: "Good boy. You deserve it. It has nothing to do with us old guys."
Yuan Ruan's eyes fell on the young man and he looked him up and down: [So handsome, which son is this of the Third Prince?]
The young man paused and lowered his brows slightly.
System: [He is not the son of the Third Prince, he is the grandson of the Fourth Prince. He is also the Secretary of the Dali Temple and has the qualifications to attend the court. Ah Ruan, you should have met him.]
Yuan Ruan recalled carefully: [Have you seen him? The court is full of handsome men, maybe I just glanced at him and forgot about him. Tong'er, you haven't told me how he, as the grandson of the Fourth Prince, is in the Third Prince's mansion.]
System: [The Fourth Prince was one of the two princes who were involved in the internal strife. He died at that time, and his son died a few years later, leaving only this one child in the Fourth Prince's mansion. The old concubine had a relationship with the Fourth Prince's biological mother, and she often went to see the only child. Once, she accidentally saw the servants of the Fourth Prince's mansion deliberately bullying the only child. The old concubine was furious, and then she directly raised him in the Third Prince's mansion. ]
Yuan Ruan: [Poor child, luckily he met the old concubine. ]
The old concubine looked at the tiny soft buns and felt that the young man was a poor child, and she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
System: [It’s pitiful, but he is not unlucky to meet the old concubine. This boy is very smart. ]
Yuanruan was a little curious when he heard this: [What do you mean? ]
