Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu were used to Grandma Xiao's occasional complaints, so instead of letting go, they held on even tighter.
Grandma Xiao stepped forward and snatched Grandma Gu's hand away: "Old Gu, let me tell you, you shouldn't be like this. You spend all twelve hours of the day with your brother Chuan. Aren't you tired of it? You still need to go out and about with your old sister."
After saying that, before Grandma Gu could object, he pulled her away, not forgetting to say to Grandpa Gu, "The Emperor came to play cards and took Old Zhou's place. Old Ye, let Old Zhou take you out to play!"
Grandma Gu smiled at Grandpa Gu. They had been married for decades, so how could they not understand each other's meaning?
Grandma Xiao pulled Grandma Gu out of the house, got into the carriage, and began to talk to Grandma Gu about the young prince.
Grandma Gu listened from the side, occasionally chiming in with a few words.
They hadn't gone far when they came face to face with a horse-drawn carriage in the alley.
The driver was extremely arrogant: "Can't you see this is the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? Why don't you move aside?"
Grandma Gu raised an eyebrow. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?
She looked at Grandma Xiao.
Grandma Xiao curled her lips in disgust: "Looking for Xue'er. That wicked woman surnamed Lin now knows about Yuan Yuan's existence, and her backer, the Lin family, has fallen. So, she's worried that our Yuan Yuan will come back and deal with her, so she's come to Xue'er to say nice things. Honestly, she doesn't even look at the relationship between Xue'er and Yuan Yuan. She must be out of her mind to come looking for Xue'er."
Grandma Gu said, "That's right! I don't think she's lost her mind, so why is she coming to find Xue'er?"
Grandma Xiao got angry when she mentioned this: "Hey Lao Gu, isn't that emperor Lao Ye's nephew? His own nephew, right? If they find out I'm talking badly about him, can you and Lao Ye protect me?"
Grandma Gu blinked. How did this get involved with the little emperor again?
Grandma Xiao was just asking the question casually. She had spent a lot of time with the Emperor and Empress Xue. In fact, there was no need for Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu to protect her. She had been taking care of Empress Xue since she became pregnant. If she were to complain right now, the Emperor wouldn't care.
She held Grandma Gu's hand and said, "The Emperor is deliberately causing trouble! The Lin family has fallen, and the Lin clan has no backers now, but the Lu family hasn't fallen! My grandson-in-law is very likely to be promoted, but the Emperor is suppressing it. This Lin clan member thinks the Emperor definitely wants to hear the Duke of Zhenguo's opinion, so she's come a few times, half-threatening and half-pleading. She thinks that if that brat Duke of Zhenguo doesn't speak up, the Emperor will keep suppressing it, and my grandson-in-law won't be promoted. If Xue'er softens her stance and associates with the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, she'll have the Duke of Zhenguo speak well of her to the Emperor, and he'll get promoted. Tell me, isn't she out of her mind? Isn't the Emperor's behavior unfair?"
"Don't think I don't know, the Emperor is just keeping Lady Lin around to watch the show! He's waiting for Yuanyuan and Xinxin to return to the capital so he can deal with Lady Lin and her children! Our Emperor is really too bored!"
Grandma Gu nodded. She had to admit, Old Xiao, you were right. Our Emperor is indeed a bit boring.
"Hey, you over there, did you hear me? That's the carriage from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, move aside!"
At that moment, the driver on the other side shouted again.
Grandma Xiao was about to scold someone, but Grandma Gu stopped her. "You're the Duchess of Zhenguo, right? She'll go and talk to her on behalf of Xin Xin first."
Grandma Gu lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside: "The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? Never heard of it. What will you do if we don't allow it?"
