Chapter 74: This Princess Can't Become One
Fu Qianran listened to her grandmother's sobbing, then helped the old lady of Xichengbo sit down and asked, "Yun? Which Yun?"
The wife of the Marquis of Xicheng said, "Which Yun? The Yun who was there to bring good luck to Prince Ning. She is simply too much. I heard that she directly splashed tea on my brother Yong. I don't know if the tea scalded him."
Fu Qianran frowned and said, "Why is my cousin involved with Yun Xiangye?"
Lady Xicheng said, "We have to ask Yun! She is really too arrogant after achieving success. Does she think that she can do whatever she wants in Chang'an City just because she is the Prince of Ning's consort?"
Fu Qianran recalled the two previous times she met Yun Xiangye. Although Yun Xiangye came from the market, he did not seem stupid enough to do anything that would lead to the success of a villain.
As for what kind of character her cousin had, Fu Qianran knew it all too well. "Grandmother, aunt, no matter what Yun's origins were, she is now the Prince of Ning's consort. If Brother Yong offends her, I can't save him."
The old lady of Xichengbo said anxiously, "Qianran, you are the Crown Princess for sure, how can you not save your cousin? You only have this one cousin, go and beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not indulge the Yun family villains to succeed!"
Fu Qianran whispered, "Grandma, I'm sorry I can't do anything."
The old lady of Xichengbo cried out: "If anything happens to Yongge, I won't be able to live anymore."
"I only have this one precious grandson. He was splashed with tea and slapped in the face. He suffered such a great injustice. My heart aches. I don't know how much more injustice he must have suffered in prison now... I..."
The old lady of Xichengbo cried for a while and gasped for breath, as if she couldn't breathe.
The wife of Xicheng Earl hurriedly supported the old lady and said, "Mother."
The wife of the Marquis of Xicheng scolded Fu Qianran in front of her, "What a future Crown Princess! You will be the ruler of the Eastern Palace in April. We, the Wu family, are not worthy of being your relatives. Now you don't even care about your grandmother's safety!"
Fu Qianran felt wronged when she heard what Lady Xicheng said: "Aunt, what you said is wrong. I have never ignored my grandmother just because I became the Crown Princess. You all know what kind of person Yong is. Now he has offended Yun Xiangye..."
"Yun Xiangye is just a commoner. You didn't care about the Yun family bullying your brother. Doesn't that mean you don't consider our Wu family as your relatives?"
Fu Qianran felt really aggrieved: "Aunt."
The old lady of Xicheng Earl cried and complained, "It was clearly that Yun who was bullying your brother. As the Crown Princess who is about to enter the palace, you did not seek justice for your brother and even let him suffer in prison. I guess you think that our Wu family is too high to afford him...
My Ah Xiu, you left too early. Now I am bullied by everyone. Even your daughter is bullying me..."
Fu Qianran felt sad when she heard her grandmother crying about her mother who had passed away five years ago. She said with tears in her eyes, "Grandmother, I will go to His Highness to plead for mercy on Wu Yong this time, but there will never be a next time. The Wu family only has one man like Yong, and he must change his bad habits."
The old lady of Xichengbo said, "Your brother is very well-behaved and sensible, how can he be a playboy? Even though that little Yunxiangye is very successful, she actually said that your brother flirted with her without thinking about how old she is. She is a middle-aged woman in her twenties who has given birth to a child. How could your brother flirt with her?"
Fu Qianran frowned, "Flirting? It turned out that it was Brother Yong who flirted with Yun Xiangye? How can I ask His Highness for mercy?"
Seeing this, Lady Xichengbo hurried forward to support her and said, "Mom, are you okay?"
The old lady of Xichengbo covered her chest and gasped, "How can it be okay? Brother Yong has to suffer every moment in prison, and my heart aches. If Xiu was still here, she would definitely not watch the only descendant of the Wu family suffer this kind of pain."
Lady Xicheng looked at Fu Qianran and said, "Qianran, even if your aunt kneels down to beg you, your grandmother is already old. Do you really want to be so unfilial and force her to death?"
Fu Qianran had tears in her eyes, "I didn't mean that!"
The old lady coughed and said, "Qianran, if Brother Yong doesn't get out of prison, I won't eat anything for a day."
Fu Qianran frowned and said, "Grandma, I will find a way to rescue my brother right now."
After Fu Qianran finished speaking, she quickly asked people to prepare a carriage and went to the Princess's Mansion.
Yun Xiangye took a nap for a while, and when she got up, there was no sign of Gu Yan around. Xiao Nuonuo was playing with toys obediently nearby, and when she saw Yun Xiangye wake up, she ran into Yun Xiangye's arms.
Yun Xiangye hugged Nuonuo and smiled faintly.
Yin Liu stepped forward and said, "Princess, Miss Fu has been at the mansion for two quarters of an hour and said she came to see you."
Yun Xiangye asked hurriedly: "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Yin Liu said, "When Miss Fu came, the prince was still there, and he said there was no need to wake you up."
Yun Xiangye frowned and said, "Help me comb my hair quickly. Just comb it into a bun."
Yun Xiangye took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid and wiped her face. After Yin Liu had tied her hair up, she hurried to the guest hall in Qingfeng Garden.
As soon as Yun Xiangye entered, she saw Fu Qianran sitting at the guest table and drinking tea.
Yun Xiangye stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Miss Fu."
Fu Qianran stood up and returned the greeting, "Crown Princess."
Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "The maids below are ignorant. They didn't wake me up when Miss Fu came, so she kept Miss Fu waiting for a long time."
Fu Qianran said calmly, "It's not that long of a wait, Princess. I'll get straight to the point. I came to see you today because of my disappointing cousin Wu Yong."
Yun Xiangye's smile paused slightly.
Fu Qianran said with embarrassment: "Wu Yong has offended you and deserves death, but my grandmother is old and she only has this one grandson. She usually loves him dearly. Now that he is in prison, she is extremely worried. My wedding is coming soon and I really don't want to see my elders make any mistakes. I hope you can spare Wu Yong this time. When Wu Yong comes out, I will definitely teach him a lesson..."
Yun Xiangye said, "Miss Fu, you can let Wu Yong go, but he first scolded me for not having a good upbringing by my parents. You and I both lost our mothers at the age of fifteen. If someone said today that you did not have a good upbringing by your mother, would you be able to endure it?"
Fu Qianran said: "This is indeed Wu Yong's fault."
Yun Xiangye continued, "He even insulted and harassed me with his words. My maidservant couldn't bear to see my reputation damaged, so she slapped him. He slapped Run'er back, causing half of the little girl's face to swell up badly. Although Run'er is my maidservant, she is no different from my own sister."
Fu Qianran frowned and said, "When Wu Yong comes out, I will ask him to apologize to the Crown Prince's wife. This bastard deserves death, but my grandmother... ah!"
Fu Qianran sighed heavily, "Princess, just consider it as I owe you a favor."
Yun Xiangye signaled the maids on both sides to step back.
When only Yun Xiangye and Fu Qianran were in the room, Yun Xiangye said, "Miss Fu, I understand your filial piety. You will be the future Crown Princess, and I dare not disobey your orders. I also dare not say that you owe me a favor. But I really have a favor to ask of you. I hope you will not treat Aunt Ye harshly when you enter the palace in the future."
Fu Qianran said hurriedly: "This is natural."
Yun Xiangye said, "Then I will go to the Chang'an government office and tell the prefect not to sue Wu Yong."
Fu Qianran heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Crown Prince's Consort."
Yun Xiangye whispered, "Miss Fu, you don't have to thank me. Today, Wu Yong and his group of playboy brothers said that he was the cousin of the Crown Princess. I think he has been arrogant in your name. I withdraw the lawsuit against Wu Yong today, which may not be a good thing for you."
Fu Qianran tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes and sighed, "What can I do? Am I really going to watch my grandmother die before my wedding? If my grandmother dies on my side, I will be charged with being unfilial, and I'm afraid I won't be able to be the Crown Princess anymore..."
Yun Xiangye looked at Fu Qianran. Although she was about to become the Crown Princess, she was just a pitiful person.
Her fiancé has had a lover by his side for many years, and her cousin from her maternal grandparents' family is rampant in her name. Her grandmother is partial to him and protects him. Fu Qianran, as the Crown Princess who is about to enter the palace, cannot really sever ties with her maternal grandparents' family and can only clean up the mess for her cousin.
Fu Qianran stood up and said, "Today I do owe the Crown Prince's Consort a favor. If the Crown Prince's Consort needs anything in the future, just ask."
Yun Xiangye thought for a moment and said, "I do have one more thing to ask of you."
