After hearing the words "General Sang's wife", Gu Huaizhi stopped moving and even sat down on a chair beside him, obviously not planning to go.
Thinking of Sang Yuyan's eyes that were almost glued to him that day, Gu Huaizhi really couldn't figure out what General Sang's wife was doing in the palace at this time.
To be safe, he decided not to take the risk.
Even if General Sang's wife came for other things, it was inevitable that she would have other thoughts after seeing him.
It is better to have less trouble than more. It is better not to do such a shameful thing at this critical juncture.
In the front yard, Jun Moyi frowned at Xu who suddenly appeared, his voice not warm.
"How come you have time to come here today, mother-in-law?"
Xu held a handkerchief in her hand and sat on the chair with some restraint. "The last time I brought my two daughters to visit you, Your Highness happened to be out, so today I came uninvited again. If I have disturbed Your Highness, please forgive me."
Listening to Xu's long string of polite words, Jun Moyi just took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Mother-in-law, you are too kind. We are all family. There is no need to bother me."
Hearing him say this, Xu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally felt relieved a little.
After all, they all knew what Sang Yuyan had said to instigate Sang Liwan, and they also knew that all those words had reached Jun Moyi's ears.
Although Jun Moyi rescued General Sang from the prison without holding a grudge, he did not say these things to their face, so no one knew what Jun Moyi's attitude was.
So Xu had no choice but to come.
He deliberately hid it from Sang Yuyan before coming.
Ever since Sang Yuyan returned home that day, she had become inexplicably confident, as if her marriage with Gu Huaizhi was a done deal, regardless of whether General Sang and Mrs. Xu agreed or not.
This made General Sang and Mrs. Xu look at each other in confusion.
It was not until Xu called the nanny who was sent to follow Sang Yuyan over to ask her about it that she found out that although Sang Yuyan did not go to Prince An's Mansion, she met all the people she should and should not meet on the street.
Xu had not expected that despite all her precautions, she had not anticipated that there was such a connection between the two people.
The capital is so big that it is not easy for two people who have no appointment to meet on the street.
Xu felt a little puzzled. Even if they had met, it would be fine, but where did Sang Yuyan get such confidence?
General Sang was more far-sighted than Xu thought. When he heard that Jun Moyi and Sang Liwan were also there, his eyes suddenly changed.
"Could this girl have begged Wan'er for help?"
"Wan'er?" Xu was shocked. She subconsciously wanted to refute, but after meeting General Sang's eyes, she couldn't help but think about the possibility of this matter in her heart.
In the end, even Xu had to admit that if it weren't for Sang Liwan's request, Sang Yuyan would not have the confidence to be so tough with the two of them.
Xu's heart suddenly became very nervous and she had no idea what to do.
She looked at General Sang in bewilderment and said, "General, if this is really the case, then what should we do? If Wan'er really agrees to Yan'er and asks Prince An to intercede with the Emperor, then by the time the imperial edict comes out, it will be too late."
General Sang certainly knew this. Hearing Xu's constant chatter in his ears, he flicked his sleeves impatiently and said, "Of course I know!"
After being yelled at by him, Xu calmed down. She stood beside General Sang without saying anything, but just glanced at him from time to time, hoping that he could come up with some advice.
General Sang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then finally made the decision: "Go to Prince An's mansion in a few days to test Prince An's attitude."
But Sang Yuyan seemed to know what they were planning, so she followed Xu closely, almost wherever Xu went.
Even today, Xu had to find an excuse to get Sang Yuyan away so that she could find time to come to the palace.
Xu looked up at Jun Moyi, whose expression was unclear, and her heart was still beating fast.
"This time, I'm here mainly to express my gratitude on behalf of my general. The general is currently under house arrest and cannot leave the palace, so I have no choice but to make this trip on his behalf. I hope Your Highness will not mind."
As she spoke, Xu looked around, but didn't see Sang Liwan. She couldn't help but ask, "Prince, why don't you see Wan'er?"
Jun Moyi said calmly, "Wanwan went out today, so it's unfortunate that my mother-in-law came."
The expression on Xu's face was a little unnatural.
In fact, she just asked casually. After all, she came to find Jun Moyi, so it didn't matter whether Sang Liwan was there or not.
"Yes, is it?"
Seeing the look on her face, Jun Moyi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "If mother-in-law wants to look for Wanwan, I'm afraid it won't be possible today."
What this meant was that Sang Liwan might not be able to come back for a while, and he would not let Xu stay in the palace for too long.
The smile on Xu's face became increasingly stiff.
"Actually, your humble servant, your humble servant did not come here specifically to look for Wan'er."
"Oh?" Jun Moyi picked up the teacup and looked at her leisurely, "Could it be that my mother-in-law came all the way to see me?"
Facing Jun Moyi's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Xu Shi could no longer say anything ambiguous. She could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, I am here to see the prince."
Jun Moyi was not surprised by her answer, and he didn't say anything.
Seeing that he didn't even respond after hearing what she said, Xu was unsure of what Jun Moyi meant. She was silent for a long time, and finally closed her eyes and said it all.
"I have come to Your Highness to apologize for my second daughter's crime. Her daughter is young and ignorant, and she has offended His Highness Prince An. Your Highness, I beg Your Highness to be magnanimous and not to take issue with her."
"Really? I wonder what the Second Miss said?"
Upon hearing this, Xu's face froze. No matter how stupid she was, she could tell that Jun Moyi was pretending to be stupid.
She couldn't bring herself to tell Sang Yuyan about the nonsense she had said to Sang Liwan, so she could only laugh it off and say, "It's just a little girl's playful words. Please don't take it to heart, Your Highness."
"Just kidding?" Jun Moyi glanced at Xu, his lips curved in disdain. "So, when you say that I'm heartless, ruthless, and vicious, are all just kidding?"
Xu was shocked.
