Chapter 560: Fu Bao fights back for Wan Yirou
Zhao and Wan Yirou told Wan Xingchen the whole story.
Wan Xingchen frowned tightly.
"Chen Wan is notorious. She might be teasing you on purpose. If she is, then it is a false alarm. But no matter what, I will accompany you to the palace today. We don't know how many eyes are watching us behind the scenes. Our family has gone through a change, so we must be careful with every step and be careful not to make any mistakes. We must not give anyone any handle."
Zhao tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, "Chen'er is right. We must guard the Duke's Mansion well at home, so that your father and eldest brother can show their strength on the battlefield."
"Since you've already asked for leave, then you can accompany your sister. I'll be relieved if you go. But you probably can't get into the backyard, so you have to be careful. If someone tries to frame your sister, they might try to frame you. You can't guard against that."
"Don't worry, mother. I will be careful."
Wan Xingchen glanced at Fubao and said, "Mom, this is our family affair. We don't need to involve sister Fubao, right? How about letting her stay at home with you?"
"No, I must go, Brother Chen, I can help, you believe me."
Fubao saw a faint gray gas lingering around Wan Xingchen's face. It was not a big problem as it had not turned black yet. However, when he looked at Wan Yirou, he saw black and red gases overlapping around Wan Yirou. Could there be something good happening here?
But Fubao couldn't say it, she had to go with her and remind Sister Rou at all times.
Zhao felt a bit of a headache. The palace was not a good place. Why did these people like to go there so much?
In the end, no one tried to stop Fubao, and he got on Wan Yirou's carriage as he wished, while Wan Xingchen rode beside the carriage.
It takes fifteen minutes to get from the Duke's Mansion to the Prince's Mansion, but it is snowing today and there was a traffic accident on the road, so there is some congestion.
There was a thick layer of snow on the road outside, but even so, it did not stop pedestrians from going out.
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and many people are coming into the city to buy New Year's goods. Although this is the inner city, there are a lot of horse-drawn carriages because they are going to the palace for a banquet today, and the carriages on the way to the palace are even more crowded.
After finally arriving at the palace gate, there was already a long line of carriages.
"It seems that there are a lot of people coming to the palace today." Wan Xingchen said in a deep voice outside the carriage.
Wan Yirou and Fubao gently lifted a corner of the curtain and took a look outside. They saw that the gate of the palace was already open, people were coming and going at the door, and there was a carriage parked far away.
Everyone got off the carriage at the gate of the palace, and the coachman drove the carriage away and found a place to wait.
"Second brother, you better be careful later."
"Brother Chen, you have to listen to Sister Rou. You might be unlucky today, so you have to be careful."
After saying this, Fubao covered his mouth and laughed.
Wan Xingchen reached out and gently tapped Fubao's forehead.
"You little girl, you dare to make fun of me. If I'm unlucky today, I'll punish you to do an extra homework when you get home."
Fubao quickly retracted his head, touched his forehead, and was then held in Qingmei's arms.
"Miss Fubao, shall we get off the car?"
Qingmei carried Fubao and followed Wan Yirou out of the carriage. Lumei did not come, and was replaced by Hongmei, a maid sent by Zhao.
As soon as Wan Yirou got off the carriage, a figure approached from behind.
"Oh, isn't this Miss Wan from the Zhenguo Mansion? The princess has great reputation. Others can't afford to invite people to a banquet, so they still give the princess face."
Wan Yirou's body stiffened for a moment, she turned around and saw that it was Chen Wan.
She was still accompanied by Zi'er, the maid from yesterday.
Wan Xingchen immediately protected Wan Yirou behind him, his eyebrows raised, one hand clenched into a fist behind his back, the other hand hanging at the side of his body, and he looked at Chen Wan with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Who are you? Why do you slander my sister's reputation right out of your mouth?"
Of course Wan Xingchen could tell that this man was deliberately making enemies for his sister. Since they came back from the border, Rouer rarely went out to banquets and would refuse whenever possible. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of outsiders, she was seen as aloof. Moreover, this happened in front of the gate of the palace, and this man was still talking so loudly, as if he was afraid that others couldn't hear him.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Wan's voice fell, several young ladies who had just got off the carriage came over.
They gathered together and looked at Wan Yirou carefully.
"Is this the one from the Duke's Mansion?"
"This is the first time I've seen her, too. Before her family was exiled, I saw her often. But this is the first time I've seen her since she came back from the border. But the change is indeed quite big."
"I really didn't recognize her at first. The climate and soil here really aren't good for people. Look at how sick Miss Wan looks. The powder on her face is thicker than that on the city wall, but it still can't cover up her sick look."
"I heard that she is in poor health and is always taking medicine. She has become a sickly woman. It will be difficult for her to get married in the future."
Fubao was held by Qingmei. Her hearing was better than that of normal people, and these people did not speak behind their backs, as if they wanted them to hear it on purpose.
Fubao glanced at Wan Yirou and saw that she was clutching Wan Xingchen's sleeve nervously. Fubao felt a little sorry for Wan Yirou.
"Sister Qingmei, do people in the capital always speak ill of others so loudly in front of others? We are all young, and we are not blind or deaf. Some people say such nasty things on purpose for us to hear, right? Can we speak louder than them?"
Fubao hugged Qingmei's neck, his voice was neither loud nor soft, with a childish and sweet voice, which was very comfortable to listen to.
Qingmei had been furious for a long time, but when Fubao asked, she immediately smiled and replied, "Of course, it's okay to talk normally."
"Then I feel relieved, Sister Qingmei, look at the sister in pink, when she smiles a layer of pink falls down, let's not stand here, it's just in the downwind, my eyes are squinting, Sister Qingmei, please help me blow it, my tears are about to flow out."
Qingmei almost laughed out loud, and Wan Yirou also gave Fubao a thumbs up in her heart, feeling her whole body was unblocked.
The girl in pink is the one who was mentioned just now as Wan Yirou who was wearing thick makeup. She heard that although Fubao did not mention her by name, she was the only one present who was wearing a pink dress. What's the difference between this and mentioning her by name?
"Whose little brat is this? What are you talking about? It's so loud, and I'm not deaf? Do you know the rules?"
Fu Bao snorted heavily, "Huh, you know you're not deaf, right? We're not deaf either, so you don't speak loudly? I'm much more open and aboveboard than you, I'm just talking about you, so what? I'm not like you, talking furtively and letting others hear you, aren't you tired? It's so good to be like me, I don't get tired of talking and you can hear me clearly."
The woman in pink was so angry at Fubao's words that she jumped up and down, but she couldn't fight with a child. She clutched her handkerchief in anger, glared at Fubao fiercely, and twisted her waist to walk into the palace.
Fubao made a big face at the woman's back. This was because her master had repeatedly warned her not to do anything, otherwise she would bite her with her sharp teeth.
Fu Bao got angry and left, then looked at the other round-faced girl who had just said bad things about Wan Yirou.
