The people nearby couldn't help but exclaim: "It's been almost two quarters of an hour, please don't kill him, that would be too unlucky."
"This corpse driver is unlucky. He was just walking on the road and bumped into this old lady. I heard she is from a general's mansion. Why is she so arrogant?"
Their whispered words reached Shen Yuerong's ears, and looking at the old lady's arrogant appearance, her eyes became a little colder.
I'm afraid that this person was offended by me, so he went to this innocent corpse driver.
Come to think of it, it has something to do with me, so I naturally cannot implicate this innocent person.
So Shen Yuerong arranged for someone to come forward and resolve the matter.
Fang Mu appeared beside the old lady's car and spoke in a cold voice.
"Madam Fu, our prince wants to pass by, please make way."
The old lady turned her head and looked at the carriage of Shen Yuerong and her group, gritting her teeth but not daring to do anything. She could only order people to retreat and make way for Shen Yuerong and her group to retreat.
When Shen Yuerong and her companions' carriage passed in front of the old lady, it happened to block the corpse driver, so Fang Mu took them directly to the carriage behind.
After the carriage had completely passed, the old lady realized that the corpse driver was missing, and she started cursing at the carriage as it went away.
"Isn't he just a prince? You are simply bullying others by taking advantage of your power. Sooner or later, my son will teach you a lesson."
When she said this, the people around her all sneered and shook their heads and left.
They had never seen such a stupid and arrogant person, and they said she was an old lady from the general's mansion, which was ridiculous.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Shen Yuerong got off the carriage slowly, and Old Man Gao hunched over in front of Shen Yuerong to bow and thank her.
"Thank you, Princess, for saving me. I am Old Gao. I am deeply grateful and will never forget it."
Shen Yuerong folded her hands in front of her and spoke slowly and gracefully.
"It's okay. You just suffered an unexpected disaster. I've asked a doctor to check you out. You can leave now."
Then Shen Yuerong ordered Fang Mu to make arrangements for Old Man Gao and gave him ten taels of silver as medical compensation.
But Old Gao did not accept it, but quietly left the palace.
After Shen Yuerong found out, she didn't arrange for anyone to look for him. After all, she had already saved him and asked the doctor to treat him, so she had already done the best she could.
As soon as Shen Yuerong entered the palace and sat down to drink tea, she heard a notification.
"Princess, someone has been sent from the palace."
Shen Yuerong put down her teacup and stood up to walk to the gate of the mansion. She saw a female official in a dark green gown walking slowly towards her, followed by several tall and strong palace maids, who looked quite aggressive.
The other party stood in front of Shen Yuerong and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Your Highness, I am Huaqiu, a female official at the side of Concubine Xi. Concubine Xi specially sent me here today."
She paused, as if it was difficult for her to speak.
After Shen Yuerong saw it, she smiled and invited: "Aunt Huaqiu, why don't you come into the mansion and have a chat."
But Huaqiu did not move. Just a hint of helplessness flashed across her eyes, and then she continued in a loud voice.
"The Concubine Xi sent this servant to rebuke the Princess—"
"The princess has been married for many days, but she has never come to the palace to pay respects to Concubine Xi. She is an unfilial and unfaithful person."
Many people had already gathered at the gate of the mansion to watch the fun. When they heard Hua Qiu's words, they exclaimed one after another.
In this era, being accused of disloyalty by elders is an extremely serious crime, and a single spit from anyone can drown you.
Chi Mu's eyes darkened when he saw this. His mother's behavior was becoming more and more absurd and unreasonable. It seemed that he had to think of a way to complain.
So he hurriedly took a step forward and was about to speak for Shen Yuerong, but was stopped by Shen Yuerong.
"It's okay, my husband. I can handle it myself."
Then Shen Yuerong looked at Hua Qiu in front of her calmly as usual, and smiled gently.
"Mother, what you said is a bit serious. I am not an unfaithful or unfilial person. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother can make the decision on this matter. If mother really has any objections, why don't we go to the palace and make it clear in front of Your Majesty."
Hua Qiu seemed to be prepared and answered with a fake smile on her face.
"The Concubine Xi is the prince's biological mother. As a princess, it is only natural for you to respect your parents. The Concubine did not ask for much, but just stayed on the sickbed and waited for many days without seeing her children come to visit her."
Shen Yuerong raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
"Why didn't you inform us that my mother was ill? I just came back from paying respects to my parents. If I knew, even if today was the day for my mother to return home, I would definitely go to the palace to personally tend to her."
Chi Mu immediately agreed and said, "I have never heard that Mother is ill. I was planning to visit her in the palace tomorrow. Rong'er knows a little bit about medicine, so why not go to the palace today to see what the Mother's condition is."
When the people around heard that Shen Yuerong was going home to worship her parents today, they remembered that today was the third day of the lunar calendar, and logically, a married daughter should go home.
This has been the custom from ancient times to the present. Some people even think that if they do not return to their parents' home today, but instead stay at their husband's home, it will be unlucky and bring disaster.
People started discussing it.
"Today is the third day of marriage. It is normal for you to go home. If you don't go, staying at your husband's house will bring disaster to them."
"I've heard about it, too. My neighbor's family wouldn't let their daughter-in-law go home, and a few days later, everything in their house was burned."
These words also reached Huaqiu's ears. She looked around and felt relieved for some reason.
I am just a female official, and I must follow the orders of Concubine Xi. Otherwise, it would be treason.
If I really bring the prince and others into the palace today, I'm afraid the princess will hate me.
