Chapter 6 Pei Fang's Fight
"Uncle! Uncle Yang really didn't mean it!"
"Yes, uncle! Uncle Yang has been an old man in our family for many years!"
Yan'er opened the door and saw a group of people outside pleading for Uncle Yang.
"Stop talking! I was wondering how the Ninth Prince knew Madam's whereabouts so well! Turns out there's a traitor in his own family, colluding with outsiders!" Yan'er shouted angrily at the group of people.
These people didn't know that Uncle Yang had leaked the news about Pu Qiongzhi earlier, and they didn't dare to say more for a while.
Pu Qiongzhi saw Nangong Hua was about to speak and quickly interrupted him, "My Lord, this matter is related to me after all, so why not let my people handle it."
Nangong Hua naturally wouldn't refuse her and nodded, "Okay. You should have a good rest first. You guys take him away..."
…
When Zhai Lou heard that Pu Qiongzhi was injured, he hurried over to check.
However, due to her inconvenient identity, Pu Qiongzhi still did not meet him.
Only then did Zhai Lou realize that he had misunderstood.
The identity he thought of would actually create many barriers between them...
"Madam, what are you going to do with Uncle Yang?"
"Let him go." Pu Qiongzhi drank the medicine. "He didn't actually give me poison."
"Ah? Then your poison..."
"I played it myself." Pu Qiongzhi looked calm.
"I noticed something was wrong with him from what happened earlier."
"Several times while we were talking, he would hide outside and eavesdrop."
"However, his status is so high and powerful in the Earl's Mansion that it is not appropriate to remove him easily."
"Didn't you see that everyone in the house wanted to plead for him? After all, nothing happened to me."
"Since he was willing to hold back and not poison me, I can naturally spare his life."
"Just kick him out. That way, he'll be loyal, and I won't have to keep a spy around."
"Madam is still kind." Yan'er sighed.
Pu Qiongzhi shook her head. "The Ninth Prince now regards Uncle Bo and Yu Ge'er as thorns in his side."
"It seems that we have to be more vigilant..."
That matter also needs to be done as soon as possible.
…
Nangong Xue successfully became the Minister of Works this time.
Since the incident with Lu Puhe, his mood has obviously changed dramatically.
Many people secretly admired his act of going to Lin'an to collect the body as a kind and righteous act.
Pu Qiongzhi recovered after a few days of rest.
In fact, everyone in the Nangong family knew that she had let Uncle Yang go, and everyone felt somewhat guilty towards her.
Pu Qiongzhi has always been open to everyone who comes to her.
These people were willing to be nice to her and make up for her, and she accepted them all.
However, Imperial Physician Jin spent the entire day at the Duke Gongning's residence, accumulating a lot of resentment in his heart.
Fortunately, Pu Qiongzhi gave a lot.
"Sister, you don't know yet, right? I heard that Lady Jia sent two maids to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to teach Madam Fang the rules, causing chaos in the Ninth Prince's Mansion." Qiao Qihuai whispered to Pu Qiongzhi.
Pu Qiongzhi watched the commotion at the polo field, a smile on her face. "Sister, did you hear wrongly? Lady Jia is just a concubine. How can she be in charge of the affairs of the Ninth Prince's harem?"
"It's true! I heard that she asked His Majesty for permission, and Madam Fang had no choice but to do it!"
But Shu Xiaolu on the other side shook her head, "... Two days later, Concubine Jia missed the time to pay her respects to the Queen Mother... The Queen Mother said that Concubine Jia herself had bad manners, so how could she teach others... So, she withdrew..."
"However, Jia Meiren and Pei Cairen seem to have started to learn the rules again... People in the palace are laughing at the Pei family for their poor parenting skills..."
Pu Qiongzhi heard her talk about the excitement here, "It's normal for the Queen to be unhappy when Lady Jia interferes in other people's affairs."
In any case, these things are none of their business.
"Hmph!" Ding Momo glanced at Shu Xiaolu, "Of course the Empress and the Pei family are not on good terms!"
Pu Qiongzhi shook her head at her, "Walls have ears, be careful of your mouth."
"We're just chatting, what are we afraid of? Unless some people go out and spread rumors!" When Ding Momo said this, her eyes fell on Shu Xiaolu.
This was the eldest prince's consort, and she wasn't familiar with them! Although she had been very righteous in smashing the phoenix coronet at the Grand Chamber of Imperial Clan Affairs that day, she just couldn't like this person... On the surface, she acted cowardly, but in reality, she was blunt and rude!
Why did Pu Qiongzhi trust her so much? They had only known each other for a short time, hadn't they?
"..." Pu Qiongzhi glared at her, "Don't be offended, Madam Princess. She is always like this."
Ding Momo instantly became even more unhappy, "You are just as annoying."
"Mutually." Shu Xiaolu also took the opportunity to reply to her.
Pu Qiongzhi and Qiao Qihuai looked at each other and let them bicker back and forth.
"Sister, come and look at my Kuan'er!" Qiao Qihuai looked at the field with a melancholy look.
Pu Qiongzhi was puzzled. "Brother Kuan is about to win, isn't he? Why is Sister still not satisfied? Today's prize is a new product from my shop!"
"You're still talking nonsense! This kid has no other skills, he only knows how to have fun!" Qiao Qihuai was furious when he said this. "Your Yu Ge'er is two years younger than him. He's already passed the Autumn Examination and is studying at home to prepare for the Spring Examination! He... still has to wait three years!"
Pu Qiongzhi laughed, "Sister, don't worry about it. Even if three years pass, Kuan Ge'er will only be thirteen, he's still young!"
"My brother Yu is a young and inexperienced person, so I asked him to come up and take a look at the questions!"
"I heard that some experienced teachers won't let their children leave the exam too early, and will wait until they pass the exam in one fell swoop!"
"You're always so good at comforting me! Well!" Qiao Qihuai's mood brightened up again. "Let me tell you, there's a female student in the library who's quite remarkable!"
Pu Qiongzhi was surprised. "How could it be so extraordinary?"
"She told us today that she wanted to become the first woman in Daliang to challenge the constraints of dogma."
Pu Qiongzhi raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Being bold is a good thing."
"Yes! Although he is a little young and frivolous, we all admire him!" Qiao Qihuai said with a smile.
In the past, she felt suffocated every day because of all the things happening in the Duke's Mansion.
Now, looking at these energetic students all day long, I feel really happy from the bottom of my heart...
They just came out for a small gathering today to watch Du Linkuan's polo match.
"Actually... my mother said that Madam Fang is interested in cooperating with her..." Before leaving, Shu Xiaolu mentioned this to Pu Qiongzhi again.
Pu Qiongzhi was a little surprised by Fang Miaozhu's move. It was simply asking for trouble.
But, it is understandable when you think about the fact that she is probably afraid of Pei Wanqing.
Even though Pei Wanqing and she kept it a secret, Gongsun Huaili still found out about her correspondence with Pei Wanqing.
When he learned that she was hurt because of Uncle Yang, he blamed himself and brought Fang Miaozhu to visit her to avoid suspicion.
In short, he has been extremely attentive recently and visits her every day.
She also felt annoyed, so she hid away.
However, Pu Qiongzhi looked at the carriage coming from afar and knew that she could not escape.
