Chapter 309 This Princess Will Lead the Way for You
In the evening, someone from the Qin family came to tell her, and Qin Qingyao only then realized that Dugu Yu would actually go to look for her parents. Is this something that Dugu Yu, who has lost his memory, could do?
"Butler, do you think the prince has recovered his memory and is playing tricks on us?"
"Why do you say that, Princess? If the prince has already recovered his memory, why is he still pretending?"
Qin Qingyao frowned and thought for a moment, "Don't want to go to court?"
housekeeper,"……"
Their prince shouldn't be so willful as to do that.
Dugu Yu patted his butt and ran away. There was still a large group of guests to receive tomorrow. Qin Qingyao was busy in the mansion with the ball in her arms.
She has been married to Dugu Yu for more than a year, and this is the first time she has held a banquet at home. She doesn't act like a rich lady at all!
Dugu Yu was inevitably looked down upon by Qin Shangshu and his wife in the Qin family. After all, there were thousands of gossips circulating among the people, but none of them was favorable to Qin Qingyao.
Fortunately, they still remembered that Dugu Yu had lost his memory, so they didn't dare to act like his father-in-law or mother-in-law as they did before, for fear that he would turn around and leave.
Dugu Yu apologized very sincerely and then told the whole story.
Minister Qin and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought that the prince had really fallen in love with someone else after losing his memory, but it seemed that everything was fine.
That night, Dugu Yu was taken to the room where Qin Qingyao lived before she got married. Mrs. Qin said that he had lived here before, but he had no memory of it at all.
After Madam Qin and the servants left, Dugu Yu studied Qin Qingyao's room carefully with great curiosity.
She even took out a little skirt of Qin Qingyao's from the closet, tried it on herself, and then threw it back into the closet in disgust.
Just as he was about to close the closet door, he found several sets of men's clothes in the corner.
When he took it out and shook it open, he saw that it was so big that it was definitely not what Qin Qingyao wore when she was dressed as a man. It was impossible for her brothers to put their clothes in the closet of their married sister.
So why were there men's clothes in Qin Qingyao's room?
He threw the men's suits on the table, sat aside, propped up his chin and shook his legs, looking a little anxious.
Finally, he suddenly stood up, took off his clothes in a few seconds, picked up those pieces and put them on. They were perfect and fit him perfectly.
Dugu Yu turned around twice in front of the mirror and hummed with immense pride, "Mine!"
Dugu Yu was in a good mood after solving the case. He went to bed early and had a better sleep than he had in the study.
Qin Qingyao on the other side was not so relaxed. It was her first time as a hostess, receiving a group of young ladies. She felt nervous just thinking about it.
But fortunately, Dugu Yu said that she was too sad and in a bad mood, so she asked those people to accompany her. In this regard, she could show her true self without having to force a smile or pretend to be enthusiastic.
The next morning, after Qin Qingyao had breakfast, people came to her house one after another, including the Qin family's concubine, Aunt Chen's second daughter, named Qin Yuzhu, who was only thirteen years old this year.
However, she was not invited by the housekeeper, but was sent by the Qin family to act as a mouthpiece, to observe the situation in the palace and what Princess Anli was doing, and to go back so that the Qin family and Dugu Yu could come up with a plan.
The housekeeper sent all twenty invitations to the daughters of wealthy and powerful families. They were not necessarily from official families, but also some literary masters, richest people, and so on.
After everyone arrived, they were all arranged to stay in the living room. It was cold outside, so everyone could only talk inside the house. There were no entertainment activities allowed in the city recently, and they were also told by their families not to go out, so they were bored to death.
Now when everyone gets together, they start talking and can't stop.
If there wasn't Ling Anli in the backyard, Qin Qingyao would have really enjoyed listening to these girls gossiping about those young men.
"Oh..." Qin Qingyao supported his head and sighed softly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Princess, what's wrong with you? Are we sisters too noisy?"
"No, no, it's nice to have some fun together. I just thought about Princess Anli being alone in the backyard right now. She won't come out even if I ask her. I don't know what to do."
When Ling Anli was mentioned, the girls fell silent. They had reminded themselves a million times on the way here that they must never mention Princess Anli in front of the princess. Why didn't they say anything, but the princess spoke first?
"Speaking of which, you guys must have heard a lot of gossip about Princess Anli while you were out there, right?"
"Haha, Princess, relax. Ignorant people like to gossip when they have nothing to do. Please don't bother with them."
Qin Qingyao said, "I naturally don't have any reason to argue with them, I'm just worried about Princess Anli."
"She's not young anymore, has a good background, and has high standards. She's been picky until now, and I don't know what to do. Now she's had a quarrel with Prince Yi and ran away from home, but the rumors outside are so unpleasant."
"Tell me, if this is really believed, the princess's reputation will be completely ruined. How will she get married in the future?"
The young ladies looked at each other, and finally one of them lost her patience and started to talk. "Princess, are you saying that the princess...she said...are you saying that the rumors outside are actually false?"
Qin Qingyao, "If it's not fake, how can it be called a rumor? You guys don't believe it, do you?"
"No no no no, absolutely not!"
Qin Qingyao nodded and said, "My prince has always treated the princess as his own sister. He felt sorry for her because she had nowhere to go, so he let her live in the palace temporarily."
"It's just because of the ugly rumors outside. To avoid suspicion, the prince has moved to my mother's house. Even so, there are still people saying that there is something going on between the princess and our prince. Isn't that infuriating?"
"Ah? The prince is not at home? Is he staying at the Qin family?"
Qin Qingyao said, "That's right. We can't interfere too much in the family affairs of Prince Yi's Mansion. Prince Yi came here in person yesterday, and the father and daughter had a huge argument, and even threatened to sever their relationship. What do you think of this matter?"
The young ladies' faces were filled with shock and disbelief. How could this be possible? This was completely different from what they had heard!
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. Prince Yi wants to sever the father-daughter relationship with the princess. How could I dare to spread such a rumor in public? Princess Anli refused to return home and even threatened to commit suicide. Her neck is still injured."
Qin Qingyao had just finished speaking when Xin'er walked in. "Princess, I've been trying to persuade her for a long time, but Princess Anli still doesn't want to go out."
"Alright, alright, go down."
Qin Qingyao looked worried and didn't say anything, but the young ladies in the living room were whispering to each other and chatting happily.
Seeing that they had almost believed it, Qin Qingyao said, "Come to think of it, when I was at my parents' home, I had some unpleasant experiences with my father. Sometimes I really wanted to just leave."
"That's what the princess said. We have it too."
"In that case, why don't we try to persuade Princess Anli so that she won't get stuck in this dilemma."
"But didn't you say that the princess didn't want to come out?"
"That's not easy. If she doesn't come out, we'll just go find her. Let's go. This princess will lead the way for you!"
Qin Qingyao brought a large group of young ladies to Qinfang Garden, where Ling Anli was getting angry because he hadn't had breakfast.
The weather is cold and the food gets cold quickly. When Ling Anli was having dinner yesterday, the food was cold, so she said that Qin Qingyao was deliberately targeting her. Then she got angry and said that she would not eat the food in the palace and wanted her people to cook for her in the small kitchen.
Then, early this morning, two maids were sent out to buy vegetables. When they came back, they were stopped by the gatekeeper.
The reason is, "No outsiders are allowed to enter!"
First, they were not servants of the palace, and second, they were not guests of the palace. How could they come in and out as they pleased? Even the servants of Wu Ling Palace had to carry badges when entering and leaving!
Ling Anli couldn't wait for them to come back, so he sent a guard out to look for them. Then, when they were arguing at the door, the guard forcefully tried to drag the two maids who were buying vegetables in. As soon as he took a step outside, he was stopped outside by the doorman.
At this time, the three men were still in a stalemate with the guards at the door. Fortunately, the servants had to go in and out through the side door, so they didn't make a fuss at the door and make a fool of themselves.
When Ling Anli heard that Qin Qingyao was coming, he decided to go and settle the score with her and ask her if she was planning to starve herself to death!
As a result, before I even walked out of the yard, I saw a large group following Qin Qingyao, and they looked quite familiar!
She decisively turned back to the house, quickly tidied herself up, and looked bright and beautiful.
She wanted to let everyone know that Dugu Yu liked her, and that she was living well here, and that she was not just trying to stay here!
As a result, when she was about to speak in the tone of a concubine in the palace, she was surrounded by a group of young ladies, who talked about the pity of parents in the world and the ways for fathers and daughters to get along.
Then a few more girls began to speak out, talking about the injustices they had suffered at home, and how they had thought about running away from home or even dying countless times.
"But blood is thicker than water after all. How can a parent do anything wrong? As their children, we should just be more understanding."
All of Ling Anli's words were stuck in her throat. Facing a large group of well-intentioned women who came to persuade her to reconcile with her father, she could not tell them that she came to Prince Wu Ling's Mansion not to run away from home, but to get married.
Because if she said that, she would become the laughing stock of the whole world, and even if she became Dugu Yu's wife one day in the future, she would never be able to hold her head up.
She didn't deny or explain the good-intentioned advice from the young ladies. Instead, she looked at Qin Qingyao and asked, "Princess, why don't you let my people come back?"
"You act so caring towards me in front of these ladies, but you don't even let me eat. Isn't that too despicable?"
