She must be the queen in the future, so she will not marry a member of the unpopular royal family and will do anything to suppress her elder sister.
Aunt Zhou thought her daughter had taken her words to heart and said with a smile, "I heard that Prince Yongning is very proud and has been in the military since he was young. I'm afraid he doesn't know our Ji family's legitimate daughter well enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, he whispered to the old maid in front of him, "Madam Liu, go and spread the word immediately. We must let Prince Yongning know that the eldest daughter was rejected by the Rongguo Mansion and married into the Yongning Mansion instead."
"Yes, I will make sure that the entire Yongning Palace will know about this today." Mother Liu responded and left.
Aunt Zhou was very satisfied with her arrangements. She glanced at her daughter complacently and then led people back to the inner courtyard.
......
Inside the Wuping Marquis' Mansion
After resting for a few days, Gu Tingzhou's injuries were almost healed. When they heard from the maids that Ye Wanshu had secretly given things to someone in the street, the two brothers immediately became furious.
"Wanwan is becoming more and more unscrupulous now." Gu Tingzhou slammed the table angrily.
Fortunately, he has been reflecting on himself these past few days, wondering whether he should show her some mercy and give her a chance to mend her ways.
Gu Tingchen couldn't help shaking his head. "This woman, on the one hand, instigated her aunt and father to embarrass us brothers, and on the other hand, she hooked up with other men. She has absolutely no shame."
"Ji Yuan is highly trusted by the Emperor. If he gets to the Emperor before us and asks for his approval, I'm afraid this marriage will be difficult to cancel."
Gu Tingzhou's face showed deep anxiety: "No, no matter whether my uncle is willing to help or not, we must go to the palace immediately and must not let her evil plan succeed."
The two brothers stood up at the same time, only to see Jiang Yueling and their aunt walking in together.
Chang was holding a letter in her hand. Seeing the two brothers hurrying along, she frowned and asked, "Tingzhou, your injury hasn't fully healed yet. Are you going out?"
Gu Tingzhou glanced at the letter in her hand and said bluntly: "Aunt, I must go to the palace to see my aunt today."
Chang's face showed hesitation: "Tingzhou, have you thought it over? Are you sure you want to cancel the engagement?"
Gu Tingzhou nodded, and after glancing at Jiang Yueling, his eyes became more determined: "No matter how my aunt punishes me today, I will break off the engagement with that woman."
Chang Shi was not in a position to persuade him any further, so she handed the letter that the Marquis had brought back to him and said, "In that case, your aunt will accompany you to the palace."
"Thank you, auntie, for your help."
Gu Tingzhou was a little worried about Jiang Yueling, and said in a deep voice: "Yueling, you must think it through..."
Jiang Yueling placed her index finger against his red lips and said, "Young Master has sacrificed so much for me. Even if I have to sacrifice my life today, I will accompany you into the palace."
Gu Tingzhou smiled with relief: "Tingchen and I really didn't make a mistake in choosing him."
Gu Tingchen just smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this, Chang's face turned slightly cold for a moment, and he could only smile and say, "Let's go."
......
In the backyard of the Ji family, Ye Wanshu, Chunhong and Xingtao cleaned up the room. Thinking that there would be results in the palace today, they told the two maids to take out the tea leaves they brought, boil water, and patiently tasted the tea in the yard.
The emerald green buds rolled in the heat wave, slowly opening up one by one and gradually releasing a rich tea aroma.
The fragrance spread throughout the house, as if the whole person was covered with the gentle green of spring.
It was not until she arrived in Lin'an City that she felt the beauty of tea tasting.
Quietly gazing at the busy figures of the two maids, Ye Wanshu leaned back gracefully on the rattan chair, looking at the blue sky above her head with a faint smile.
It's all finally coming to an end.
