Qin Yuan didn't know what to say.
In short, Gu Baozhu has a lot of wicked intentions.
Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Be careful what you say. If this succeeds, we won't have to worry about being buzzed around anymore. We'll only have to worry about other things."
"What else are you worried about?"
"I'm worried I'll get chopped up if I go out."
Gu Baozhu was unconvinced.
"Those people are really immoral. I won't show them any mercy this time."
Qin Yuan couldn't imagine what it would be like if her sister-in-law showed no mercy.
However, this was not the time to talk about that. They had already reached a crowded area. Granny Pan was chatting with someone when she saw them coming over. She said, "I just made an appointment with you at the banquet to go out for a walk and to invite me along. How come you disappeared in the blink of an eye? Where did you come from?"
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I was worried about His Highness the Crown Prince. I went to see him with my mother-in-law first, and then I went to find my sister-in-law to visit him together."
Grandma Pan sighed, "That's true. Although it was Young Master You who pushed His Highness into the water, Miss You insisted in public that your sister-in-law was involved. We have to go and see, since even the Empress Dowager went and I heard she was very unhappy."
Gu Baozhu said angrily from the side, "How can You Da pin this on me? I was enjoying my meal when she insisted on calling me out, saying she had something to say. Before we could say anything, we ran into Young Master You."
Grandma Pan asked with great interest, "And then?"
Gu Baozhu said, "Then I asked Young Master You if he dared to continue the competition with me. There were no treasures in the arena to get in my way, and I was sure I could defeat him within ten moves. If he lost, he would have to acknowledge me as his boss from then on."
Grandma Pan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This little girl from the Gu family is someone not everyone can imagine.
The Crown Prince, with his small frame, dares to have such thoughts? He's like an old man hanging himself, tired of living.
Qin Yuan smiled and sighed.
If it's a competition, why force someone to acknowledge a boss?
Young Master You would naturally fight to the death, otherwise how could he face anyone in the capital?
"Then what?"
"Then, I don't know why, Young Master You suddenly became so angry that he started trembling all over. He immediately attacked with deadly force. I was about to win, but he broke the rules and used a hidden weapon." Gu Baozhu gestured wildly, and a number of people quickly gathered around her.
Gu Baozhu got even more worked up: "I'm angry. I'm the most rule-abiding, but if others don't follow the rules, I won't either. Young Master You started it, so naturally I'll follow suit. I'm always in the right."
"So what did you do?" someone couldn't help but interject and ask.
"I immediately took out my unique hidden weapon. Let me tell you, this was given to me by my underling. He used this to defeat a whole street of thugs. Subduing more than a dozen people was no problem for him. I couldn't refuse his kindness, so I just stuffed it into my pocket without any intention of using it."
I never expected Young Master You to use a hidden weapon. If I didn't have one, wouldn't I lose face? So I reached out and took out the medicine packet, stood upwind, and sprinkled it out..."
Yu Da had originally been cheering on her third brother, and His Highness the Crown Prince had gotten a good spot to watch the spectacle, but in the end, they all suffered.
Grandma Pan and the others were delighted to hear this, feeling as if they were actually there.
Finally, Qin Yuan said, "I've finally found her. My mother-in-law must be getting impatient. If the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and His Highness the Crown Prince were still here, my sister-in-law could apologize to them."
Grandma Pan said, "I was just about to tell you, but I just thought about it again, and I think you shouldn't go now."
For some reason, one problem after another has arisen at the Duke's mansion today. The Empress Dowager is probably not in the mood to see anyone right now, and the Seventh Miss might run into a snag if she goes there.
"Let's find a better time to go. We've stayed long enough, and we were just about to say goodbye and go home when we found out they were too busy to do anything else and were just chatting here."
Qin Yuan asked curiously, "What's wrong now?"
Grandma Pan whispered, "Princess Fuyun and the Ninth Princess had a quarrel for some reason. Princess Fuyun bumped into the railing and fell down the steps. She not only sprained her ankle, but also injured her face, with such a long and deep cut."
His face was covered in blood, and he had fainted. He looked really bad. If he didn't recover... I'm afraid he would have to carry a veil with him when he went out in the future.
The Empress Dowager was furious, saying she would teach the Ninth Princess a lesson, yet she also felt incredibly sorry for Princess Fuyun.
Qin Yuan was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
What exactly happened?
One disturbance after another occurred at Madam You's birthday banquet.
She couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
There's a big event about to happen at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Today's birthday banquet for Madam You is truly going to be ruined.
But so be it, the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion is going to make enemies of them anyway.
Grandma Pan added, "Do you think you'll have any good luck if you run into her now? The Empress Dowager hasn't left the palace for a long time. Now that Old Madam You's birthday banquet is here, it was originally a good opportunity to show her virtue and perhaps even arrange a marriage. But now that her grandchildren have all had accidents, the Empress Dowager must feel it's bad luck but can't say it out loud."
"It would be best if we stayed away from here. Perhaps we could go to the Eastern Palace to apologize in a few days."
This suggestion is very appropriate.
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for teaching me, sister. Otherwise, we would have foolishly bumped into them and displeased the noble people. We would have been embarrassed ourselves. I'll go find my mother-in-law now and prepare to go home."
Grandma Pan nodded.
Just as Qin Yuan was about to pull Gu Baozhu away, someone suddenly shouted loudly from the second gate, "It's terrible! It's terrible! Catch the lecher! Catch the lecher!"
Grandma Pan was startled and grabbed Qin Yuan's hand tightly, saying urgently, "Actually, there's no need to leave so early. The host family is probably not at ease either. Why don't we go and take a look around?"
Qin Yuan: ……
Gu Baozhu couldn't hold back any longer and immediately said, "Third sister-in-law, we're just idling around anyway, why don't we go over and take a look? Maybe I can be of some help."
Qin Yuan admired her sister-in-law greatly and said reproachfully, "The Duke's mansion is full of talented people. How could it be your turn, a little girl, to catch some lecherous thief? At the very least, there's the Jingzhao Prefecture's patrol and police force and the Five Cities Garrison."
Gu Baozhu hummed twice and urged, "Let's go, everyone else is rushing to see it, let's go take a look too."
Grandma Pan also said from the side, "Let's go take a look."
Qin Yuan had no choice but to say, "Then let's go over there, but Mother will be alone..."
Gu Baozhu couldn't wait: "Let's watch it and then tell Mother."
Grandma Pan also said, "I'll have a lot to say to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law when I get back today."
Goodness, everyone here loves a good show.
Since that's the case, then...
Qin Yuan and Gu Baozhu then retraced their steps.
Along the way, Granny Pan was very curious about Gu Baozhu, asking her many questions and praising her repeatedly.
Gu Baozhu's mood improved considerably—there are still people in this world who appreciate beauty; her chivalrous deeds and superb martial arts skills were greatly recognized.
