When Aunt Mi heard this, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes. She immediately took the initiative to select some of the best food, asked Shui'er and Bing'er to take them, and walked towards Fuliu Courtyard!
Mu Chun carefully helped Yun Qianmeng change her sweat-stained clothes, then placed a small mahogany table on the bed, took the dinner brought in by the little maids and placed it on the table, and served Yun Qianmeng her meal!
However, Yun Qianmeng's right ankle was aching slightly, and there seemed to be a burning sensation, which made her unable to eat. She simply ate some vegetarian dishes and half a bowl of pearl and white fungus porridge and pushed the bowl away. Seeing this, Mu Chun immediately cleared the small table with her hands and feet, and at the same time diligently handed her mouthwash. After serving Yun Qianmeng, Mi Ji Ma also came back from Fuliu Courtyard, and Mu Chun left the inner room with two second-class maids behind her!
"Young lady, you are wise! That concubine Hua is not the daughter of a wealthy family. When she saw those delicacies, she wanted to come to Qiluo Garden immediately to kowtow to the young lady! It was only because I stopped her and said that you were injured that she gave up!" Nanny Mi entered the inner room. Fearing that Yun Qianmeng might wait too long, she quickly came to the bedside and whispered what had just happened in Fuliu Courtyard!
After hearing this, Yun Qianmeng had a faint smile on her lips!
The Chu Palace and the Rong Palace sent gifts of comfort at the same time. Not only did everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion know about it, but I'm afraid that those officials with a keen sense of smell had also received the news. I'm afraid that even the empress dowager who lived deep in the harem had already heard about it!
However, this time, she sent the gifts from the two mansions to Fuliu Courtyard. Given Concubine Hua's status and position, she was naturally grateful!
After all, no matter how magnanimous Liu Hanyu was, he must have been unhappy to see that the concubine he promoted was pregnant. All the kindness he showed to Concubine Hua was just superficial!
But he and Aunt Hua have never had any intersection, and no matter whether she gives birth to a boy or a girl, it will not affect him. In this relationship where there seems to be no conflict of interest, Aunt Hua is naturally happy to be close to him!
Moreover, looking at the situation today, my value has increased greatly. I am afraid that Yun Xuanzhi will be more polite to me. Aunt Hua is only half the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so naturally she will curry favor with me!
This is just human nature, and it cannot be said that Aunt Hua is currying favor with the powerful!
However, listening to Aunt Mi's narration, it seems that Aunt Hua is a bit vain. Otherwise, with all the rare treasures that Yun Xuanzhi had people move into Fuliu Courtyard recently, how could Aunt Hua be interested in the food that she sent over?
It seems that Concubine Hua is not someone who can be taken lightly. Moreover, she is pregnant now, so I am afraid she is also thinking of climbing up the social ladder!
Of course, it would be better for her to have such thoughts, so that she can be used by Yun Qianmeng!
"Mammy, you said it before, the things in these two mansions are extremely precious, representing the reputation of our Prime Minister's Mansion, but I only gave her one!" Yun Qianmeng's body was a little lazy, and her tone of voice became slower, but the gleam in her eyes had not faded at all!
Mi Malang had already understood Yun Qianmeng's intention. She immediately pursed her lips and smiled, then said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, Miss. I have told this to Concubine Hua. As for other trivial matters, I didn't mention a word. Let Concubine Hua figure it out by herself! If she wants to secure a good life for the piece of meat in her belly, she will naturally know how to do it!" In addition to sending things over, they did nothing. Even if the Prime Minister gets angry in the future, he can't vent his anger on Qiluo Garden!
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng smiled faintly and nodded. At this time, Mu Chun walked in with a porcelain bowl. A strong aroma of Chinese medicine filled the inner room for a while, making Yun Qianmeng frown. She felt that after traveling to this place, taking medicine had become a common occurrence!
"Miss, take the medicine! Drink it while it's hot, otherwise it will get cold and destroy its medicinal properties!" Mu Chun said with a smile when he saw Yun Qianmeng frowning, but he did not allow Yun Qianmeng to escape. He immediately took the medicine bowl and held it in front of Yun Qianmeng!
When the medicine bowl was placed under Yun Qianmeng's nose, she felt a strong smell of medicine rushing into her nose. However, seeing that Mu Chun and Aunt Mi were both staring at her, Yun Qianmeng knew that she could not escape. She could only raise her hand to take the medicine bowl. She frowned and drank all the brown medicine in it in one breath!
Aunt Mi immediately brought a cup of water for Yun Qianmeng to rinse her mouth, and then carefully placed the mouthwash bowl next to Yun Qianmeng's mouth, allowing her to spit out the mouthwash!
"Miss, please put a candied fruit in your mouth!" After that, Mu Chun brought another plate of candied fruit for Yun Qianmeng to get rid of the bitterness in her mouth!
But Yun Qianmeng shook her head and refused, "It's already evening. Eating too much sweets will decay your teeth! I'll take my medicine and rest. You all should go down and rest!"
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng was in high spirits but a little sleepy due to the medicine she had just taken, the two men helped her lie down, lowered the curtains, blew out the red candles, and then left!
The effect of the medicine came quickly. Yun Qianmeng thought it would take a while before she could fall asleep, but in just a cup of tea, she fell into a deep sleep...
However, when she slept until three o'clock in the morning, Yun Qianmeng felt that her face was being stared at closely by two pairs of eyes. Her long-term work as a police officer had already trained her to have sharp reactions. Although she was still a little sleepy, she still opened her eyes decisively!
In the darkness, a pair of clear and bright eyes were staring at her, causing Yun Qianmeng's heart to jump suddenly. Just as she was about to call out, her mind immediately reflected that this was her own boudoir. She suppressed her frightened heart, supported her upper body with her arms, and looked at the figure standing beside the bed with calm and steady eyes!
In the darkness, she only felt that the person who came was tall but not burly. At this time, the person restrained his breath. If she was not too sensitive, she would not be able to discover that someone sneaked into her boudoir at night and stood by her bed staring at her!
In order not to alarm the maids and servants who were guarding outside, Yun Qianmeng remained motionless, but her hands, which were supported by her sides, were already prepared. If anyone dared to have bad intentions, then don't blame her for taking action!
But at this moment, a barely audible chuckle emanated from the bedside, as if mocking Yun Qianmeng's overconfident struggle! Just as Yun Qianmeng was furious, the man sat down on the bedside without hesitation. A surge of masculine energy suddenly rushed towards Yun Qianmeng's face, causing her to subconsciously kick out her injured right foot to protect herself!
The man seemed to have guessed Yun Qianmeng's move long ago, and he raised his big hand in the dark and accurately caught the right foot that was about to kick him in the face, and then held Yun Qianmeng's right foot tightly, preventing her from escaping but not hurting her!
Yun Qianmeng thought that his thoughts were seen through, and saw that the man was holding his right foot tightly. A trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes in the darkness. In an instant, he turned sideways, raised his left foot and kicked the man again without giving up!
However, that man was so powerful that he once again saw through Yun Qianmeng's thoughts. He intercepted the powerful left foot in mid-air with his other hand, and then forced Yun Qianmeng's left foot into the quilt. He continued to hold the injured right foot with both hands, touched the swollen ankle along the instep, and tentatively pressed the injured part with his right thumb!
"Hiss...you..." The sudden pain made Yun Qianmeng let out a slight gasp, and then she opened her eyes wide and stared at the man, but in return she got a low laugh from that man!
"Fortunately, no bones were broken!" The man lowered his voice and spoke slowly. The nonchalant tone in his voice made Yun Qianmeng's heart tighten!
In the entire Western Chu, apart from Chu Feiyang, who else would speak to others in such a tone?
Yun Qianmeng couldn't help but narrow her eyes, trying to see the person clearly with the faint moonlight coming in from the window to confirm her guess!
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" But at this time, Bai Mei's voice came from the outside. A moment later, candles were lit outside, and Bai Mei knocked on the door frame and asked respectfully, "Miss, do you need my maid to serve you?"
Yun Qianmeng looked at her foot held in the man's hand and immediately said coldly, "It's okay, go down and rest!"
"Yes!" Bai Mei responded lightly and left the door. In a short while, the candlelight that had just been lit outside was blown out, and Yun Qianmeng breathed a sigh of relief!
But at this moment, a man's light laughter came from the front, and then Yun Qianmeng felt her cloth socks being taken off, a warm hand holding her right foot, and the other hand was stroking her ankle, massaging it with skillful force!
For a full quarter of an hour, the man maintained a uniform speed and strength as he massaged Yun Qianmeng, and neither of them spoke again until the cloth socks were put on their feet again. Yun Qianmeng was about to speak when she felt a burst of heat coming towards her. In an instant, the man had moved and sat in front of her, almost touching her cheek!
It was not until this moment that Yun Qianmeng could clearly see the face of the person who came. Who else could it be but Chu Feiyang?
There was a little light emanating from his pair of black eyes that were as deep as a dark pool, and Yun Qianmeng read a smile from those eyes. Without any hesitation, she knew that Chu Feiyang was in a very good mood at this time, and his thin lips must be raised!
However, Chu Feiyang was in a very good mood, but Yun Qianmeng was in a bad mood. How could she be in a good mood after being touched by a strange man for no reason?
Seeing Chu Feiyang approaching so close, Yun Qianmeng felt the air become thinner. She stepped back slightly, sneered, and murmured sarcastically, "Prime Minister Chu, you have such a refined taste! You're imitating the gentleman on the beam in the middle of the night. You're so unconcerned about suspicion. Aren't you afraid that your official reputation will be damaged?"
But Yun Qianmeng's words had barely fallen when she felt her cheeks heat up. Chu Feiyang wouldn't let her retreat at all. He chased after her and pressed his lips against her cheek, whispering in her ear with a smile, "That's not all! For Miss Yun's reputation, I can only move closer to talk to her, lest anyone see us and ruin our reputations!"
She had never been so close to anyone before, and she didn't know whether Chu Feiyang did it intentionally or unintentionally. Yun Qianmeng only felt that the hot air he exhaled when he spoke sprayed all over her neck, causing a blush on her face. Fortunately, there was the cover of night, otherwise her reputation in this life would have been ruined in Chu Feiyang's hands!
However, the instigator not only showed no apology, but also laughed so arrogantly that Yun Qianmeng could not help but feel shocked and angry. She immediately gritted her teeth and whispered back, "Then shouldn't I kneel down and thank you for your thoughtfulness, Your Majesty? But, Your Majesty, climbing over the wall in the middle of the night is not the behavior of a gentleman. Even though I am just a woman, I despise this act!"
After finishing speaking, Yun Qianmeng raised her eyes and looked at Chu Feiyang with anger in her eyes, to see how he would explain!
Chu Feiyang, however, just smiled without saying a word. He suddenly raised his right arm and supported the inside of Yun Qianmeng's body, effectively trapping her in his arms. He then pressed his upper body against her, forcing her onto the bed with nowhere to escape. However, he could smell the faint scent of Chinese medicine on Yun Qianmeng, which he found much more soothing than the strong incense. He then spoke softly, "I only came to visit you after hearing that the young lady was injured! I didn't know she was already asleep, so I had no choice but to break in through the window! I also personally massaged her just now, which made up for the offense I had caused her! I didn't expect that the young lady would misunderstand me like this, it really makes me sad!"
She said she was heartbroken, but Yun Qianmeng clearly saw the corner of Chu Feiyang's lips raised high. She was always smart and sensitive, and she felt that Chu Feiyang's action was completely intentional. Although she was annoyed, she didn't want to reveal her thoughts in front of him. She just shot Chu Feiyang with a cold star-like gaze and said calmly, "The King of Chu had already sent a gift earlier. Doesn't Prime Minister Chu think this is unnecessary?"
Hearing this, Chu Feiyang simply shrugged his shoulders, then said seriously, "That was the King of Chu's intention. What does it have to do with me, Prime Minister Chu?"
Hearing his unreasonable nagging, Yun Qianmeng sneered, "The King of Chu is the Prime Minister's grandfather. This is an indisputable fact! How can the Prime Minister deny his connection with the King of Chu? Is the Prime Minister planning to be heartless and uncaring?"
As she spoke, Yun Qianmeng's eyes turned to disdain. She wanted to see how Chu Feiyang would explain this time...
However, Chu Feiyang was not like Yun Xuanzhi, who took his reputation and official honor so seriously. He was used to being casual and free-spirited, so how could he be angered by a few harmless words?
However, Yun Qianmeng's sharp tongue and sharp words made him raise an eyebrow. The smile in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he stared at Yun Qianmeng's calm and unyielding eyes with unprecedented seriousness. Finally, he chuckled and warned, "If the bones are not injured, there is no need to bandage it with gauze, otherwise the blood will stagnate in the ankle and it will not heal quickly!"
After he finished speaking, he withdrew from Yun Qianmeng and stood up. Taking advantage of the moonlight being obscured by thin clouds, he quietly left the inner room!
Yun Qianmeng felt that the air around her lips had returned to its previous density. She couldn't help but take a deep breath. Just as she was about to sit up, she found that her arms had already gone numb, and a thin layer of sweat had appeared on her back. She couldn't help but frown, and felt that Chu Feiyang was unpredictable!
I was with him just now, and I saw that he understood my thoughts in an instant, but I had no idea what Chu Feiyang would do next!
This uncertain confrontation made Yun Qianmeng feel angry, but it also aroused her fighting spirit. She was no longer afraid of facing Chu Feiyang head-on!
But, did Chu Feiyang come here today just to check on her injuries?
Thinking of his whispers in the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion a few days ago, Yun Qianmeng fell into deep thought for a moment!
At this time, the Truffle Courtyard in the Duke of Korea's Mansion was heavily guarded. Ever since Yuan Qingzhou was brought back by Jiang Muchen with a sullen face a few days ago, he had been placed under house arrest in the small Truffle Courtyard by people sent by King Chen. Except for paying his respects to Old Lady Lin and the Duke of Korea and his wife every day, he was not allowed to leave the Truffle Courtyard without permission!
This made Yuan Qingzhou, who always liked to pursue women, very bored. He repeatedly asked the loving old lady Lin and his mother to plead for mercy under the pretext of paying his respects, but was rejected by both of them!
At ten o'clock in the evening, Yuan Qingzhou could not eat after hearing the news of Yun Qianmeng's injury from Mingxing. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in his study, thinking only of how to break through the guards of his cousin's homeland and secretly run to the prime minister's residence to visit Yun Qianmeng!
However, when he put pressure on those guards with his identity as the legitimate son of the Duke of Fuguo, they didn't take him seriously at all. They even mentioned his identity as Prince Chen and suppressed him!
Yuan Qingzhou was so angry that he stomped his feet and went back to his study, frowning as he thought of other ways!
"Young Master, why don't we pretend to be sick and ask a doctor to see us? The old lady will not be happy to let outsiders see her grandson being placed under house arrest! She will definitely ask Prince Chen to withdraw the people then!" Ming Xing saw that his master was in great distress, so he stepped forward to offer advice!
But just as he finished speaking, Mingxing was slapped hard on the head by Yuan Qingzhou, who then cursed in a low voice, "Idiot! How could we use doctors from outside in our mansion? Those doctors are all employed by the Duke of Han's Mansion and are our family's servants. The whole Duke of Han's Mansion knows that the master is under house arrest, so how could they not know? If you come over to take my pulse, the old lady and my cousin will definitely know that I am faking illness. I am afraid that my cousin will punish me even more miserably then!"
After saying that, Yuan Qingzhou glared at Mingxing fiercely, and then continued to pace back and forth in the study. However, when he accidentally glanced at Mingxing's back, a sly smile crept onto his lips. He waved Mingxing to come closer and told Mingxing his decision!
"No, young master! If you do this, the prince will skin me alive! The old lady will not let me go! Young master, please be kind and let me go! I promise you that I will find out everything about Miss Yun's daily situation and tell you. Please don't step out of the Truffle Courtyard, I beg you!" As he spoke, Mingxing knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yuan Qingzhou for mercy!
But Yuan Qingzhou had already made up his mind. He forcibly pulled up Mingxing, who refused to get up and was in tears, and began to unbutton his coat, constantly threatening Mingxing, "Hurry up and take off your clothes! If you ruin my important business, I will tell the old lady about your idea of faking illness. Then you will be accused of seducing the master, and not only you, but also your parents will be implicated! You can do it yourself. I don't like to force people!"
Ming Xing originally wanted to beg for mercy, but after hearing Yuan Qingzhou's vicious words and seeing the ruthlessness in Yuan Qingzhou's eyes, he suddenly had no idea what to do. He could only stiffly unbutton his coat, carefully put it on Yuan Qingzhou, and take off the golden crown that tied his hair for him. Then he retreated to the side with a sad face!
At this moment, Yuan Qingzhou only had Yun Qianmeng's delicate and suffering face in his mind, so how could he care about Mingxing's emotions? He patted Mingxing's shoulder with satisfaction, and walked out of the study room imitating the way Mingxing usually walked!
Although the moonlight was bright tonight, there were sometimes thin clouds floating across the moon, blocking the bright moonlight. Yuan Qingzhou saw this and came to the door of Truffle Courtyard when the moonlight was dim and hazy. He walked out of the gate with his head lowered. The guards saw that the man was wearing the clothes of a servant and thought it was Mingxing, Yuan Qingzhou's follower. In addition, the moonlight was blocked and his face could not be seen clearly, so they let him go!
After all, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and Master Yuan, who had been making a lot of noise all night, was probably tired and had already gone to bed!
Little did they know that the person they thought they had let go was Yuan Qingzhou himself!
Yuan Qingzhou walked out of the guards' sight with normal steps, then immediately lifted his clothes and ran towards a side door of the Duke of Han's Mansion...
The servant guarding the small gate immediately opened his sleepy eyes and stood up to inquire when he saw someone approaching. However, Yuan Qingzhou was even quicker. He pulled out a silver ingot from his sleeve and threw it into the servant's arms, whispering, "I'm Mingxing. The young master sent me out to do something. Hurry and open the door!"
The servant saw that although the man in front of him had his head lowered, the robe he was wearing was indeed the style of a first-class servant. He also saw that the man was so generous and he was not going to let anyone into the house, so he did not ask any more questions, turned around, unbolted the door, opened the small door and let him in!
Yuan Qingzhou didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. He found himself standing outside the Duke of Han's Mansion. He couldn't help but feel excited and wanted to shout a few times to express his surging emotions!
"Oh! In the middle of the night, Master Yuan is standing outside his own door dressed as a servant. I wonder what's the meaning?" But at this moment, a dark shadow deeply enveloped Yuan Qingzhou, and then an extremely lazy voice slowly sounded behind him!
Yuan Qingzhou's smile hadn't faded when he was startled by the person behind him. He immediately turned around and looked up, only to see Chu Feiyang, dressed in black, riding on a tall and mighty black horse. The black horse kept kicking its front hooves and occasionally snorting from its nose, which scared Yuan Qingzhou so much that he took a few steps back...
When he looked at Chu Feiyang again, he saw that this person was staring at him with a smile in his eyes, but the smile in his black eyes was as cold as the moonlight, which made Yuan Qingzhou feel that the blood in his body was instantly frozen by the indifferent gaze, and fear of Chu Feiyang arose in his heart!
"Could it be that Master Yuan can't find the main gate to the mansion?" Chu Feiyang saw that Yuan Qingzhou was so cowardly at this moment, but recalled his audacious behavior of wanting to flirt with Yun Qianmeng that day. His smiling eyes narrowed instantly, and he suddenly tightened the reins with one hand. The horse seemed to know what its master meant, and immediately took two heavy steps towards Yuan Qingzhou!
On the quiet street, the only sound was the clatter of horse hooves on the bluestone road. The horse seemed to dislike Yuan Qingzhou very much. It stretched its neck and came close to Yuan Qingzhou, snorting at Yuan Qingzhou's frightened face. Yuan Qingzhou was so scared that he sat down on the ground!
Yuan Qingzhou supported his hands on his sides. The surface paved with bluestone was extremely cold, but compared with the look Chu Feiyang gave him at this moment, Yuan Qingzhou would rather live his life hugging the bluestone!
After all, Chu Feiyang was too terrifying at this moment. He no longer had his usual smile on his face. He looked like the King of Hell who had walked out of hell. His face was extremely cold and chilling, and a strong murderous aura lingered around him. Not to mention that Yuan Qingzhou, who only knew how to appreciate romance, was trembling with fear. Even those officials in the court who had served for many years would be terrified when they saw him!
"...Hiss..." At this time, the horse actually raised its head and let out a long neigh towards the night sky, as if it was neighing with joy because it had just scared Yuan Qingzhou!
But Yuan Qingzhou was so frightened by the sound that he immediately hugged his body tightly, buried his head deeply in his knees, and dared not look at the man and horse in front of him!
Seeing Yuan Qingzhou so cowardly, Chu Feiyang's eyes showed deep disdain. Yuan Qingzhou was not even as good as Yun Qianmeng. He was so easily frightened that he was really despicable!
At this time, hearing the noise outside, the main gate of the Duke of Korea's Mansion suddenly opened wide, and a group of servants came out trotting with lanterns in their hands. After everyone stood still, Jiang Muchen and Old Lady Lin walked out of the Duke of Korea's Mansion!
When Old Lady Lin saw her beloved grandson sitting huddled up on the street, her face suddenly turned grim. She immediately shouted to the capable maids beside her, "Hurry up and help the young master up and take him to the Truffle Courtyard..."
The maids heard the anger in Old Lady Lin's words and did not dare to delay any longer. They walked quickly towards Yuan Qingzhou, carefully helped him up, and supported the trembling Yuan Qingzhou into the Duke of Han's Mansion!
"I wonder what Prime Minister Chu is doing at the gate of my Duke Han's mansion in the middle of the night?" Seeing Yuan Qingzhou being brought into the mansion, Old Lady Lin immediately shot a sharp gaze at Chu Feiyang on the horse, and her tone was very displeased!
At the same time, Jiang Muchen's extremely cold eyes also shot towards Chu Feiyang. The coldness in his eyes was enough to freeze Chu Feiyang's whole body!
Chu Feiyang looked at the Duke of Han's Mansion making such a big show, and a hint of ridicule flashed in his calm eyes. They wanted to suppress his momentum with just a few servants. Was this Old Lady Lin confused because of her age or she couldn't see the current situation clearly!
But Jiang Muchen would not tolerate Chu Feiyang's silence. His voice, tinged with frost and snow, slowly rang out, "It seems that Prime Minister Chu's duties are not related to the defense of Kyoto. I'm afraid it's not Prime Minister Chu's turn to do this night patrol!"
Hearing this, Chu Feiyang on horseback curled his lips and smiled. Although he was facing away from the moonlight, everyone felt that this smile even made the moonlight pale in comparison. Although Chu Feiyang was dressed in black at this time, he looked like a banished immortal who had walked out of the Moon Palace, making people lose their minds!
"Do I need to explain my actions to everyone in the Duke of Han's Mansion?" Chu Feiyang looked down at the people in front of him and spoke slowly with unique arrogance!
But this sentence angered Jiang Muchen. He was the prince of Western Chu, but he had been humiliated time and again in front of Chu Feiyang. Now, in front of so many servants, Jiang Muchen, who usually had good self-control, suddenly turned cold and his eyes were full of gloom. "Is Prime Minister Chu deliberately going against the Han Guo Mansion? I can't believe that Prince Chu, who has been loyal to the Western Chu royal family all his life, has such a weirdo like Prime Minister Chu in his family!"
Jiang Muchen's words were extremely vicious. On the surface, he praised the King of Chu for his loyalty, but secretly demoted the King of Chu to a dog of a loyal master!
Although Chu Feiyang was a person who never cared about other people's opinions, Jiang Muchen had violated his bottom line. Chu Feiyang's eyes were frozen, but there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth. "I didn't expect that such a prestigious mansion like the Duke of Han would produce someone like Master Yuan... who is so kind and cherishes women, and even wants to sneak out of the mansion in the middle of the night to seek pleasure!"
Chu Feiyang repeated Jiang Muchen's words to him verbatim. Although the first sentence praised the high status of the Duke of Korea's Mansion, the second sentence was a mockery of such a noble family for raising a lustful bastard like Yuan Qingzhou!
Chu Feiyang's words also had another deeper meaning, and I'm afraid no one except Jiang Muchen could hear it...
That day at the Fuguogong Mansion, the old lady was celebrating her birthday, but Yuan Qingzhou took advantage of a few drinks to try to molest the old lady Gu's granddaughter. Such behavior was like that of a beast!
Although Jiang Muchen understood the meaning and realized Chu Feiyang's curse, he couldn't say it out loud!
Even though he broke off the engagement because he hated Yun Qianmeng, the main reason for the breakup was not Yun Qianmeng herself, but because of the breakup, she had become a laughing stock in Xichu. Somehow, Jiang Muchen subconsciously didn't want Yun Qianmeng's reputation to be damaged again, so when Chu Feiyang hinted at Yuan Qingzhou this time, he endured it and didn't say anything!
When Old Lady Lin saw Prince Chen was silent, confusion flashed in her eyes. Although she didn't know what had happened between Chu Feiyang and Prince Chen, Chu Feiyang had just ridiculed their Duke of Han's Mansion. How could Old Lady Lin bear this?
The Duke of Han's Mansion and the Prince of Chu's Mansion have never had any intersection, but today Chu Feiyang's words were full of thorns, obviously targeting the Duke of Han's Mansion. Although Old Lady Lin did not want to make another enemy, if Chu Feiyang went too far, she would not show any mercy!
Old Lady Lin straightened her back and took a step forward. Her dignity showed her status in the Duke of Korea's Mansion. Her gloomy face showed her displeasure at the moment. She asked Chu Feiyang in a loud and full voice, "Prime Minister Chu must have misunderstood the Duke of Korea's Mansion. Why are you targeting it with every word you say? And why are you here to scare my grandson?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Feiyang chuckled, then said seriously, "The old lady thinks too highly of her grandson! I think the most important thing for the old lady to do right now is to clean up the house so that there won't be any more or less people inside in the middle of the night!"
After saying that, Chu Feiyang spurred his horse and whipped it, no longer paying any attention to the people in the Duke of Han's Mansion, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant...
"Who was on duty today and let Young Master Sun go?" And behind Chu Feiyang came the furious voice of Old Lady Lin!
After the old lady finished speaking, a servant was tied up by several servants and forced to kneel in front of the old lady Lin and Prince Chen, trembling and not daring to speak!
"Drag him away and beat him to death!" Old Lady Lin didn't bother to listen to his explanation and gave the order directly. The servant's body went limp and he fell to the ground on the cold bluestone road!
But this pitiful appearance did not win any sympathy from Old Lady Lin. She turned around and walked into the Duke of Han's Mansion with Prince Chen. Compared to the expressionless Prince Chen, Old Lady Lin glanced at him, then her face became more serious. She asked tentatively, "Why doesn't Your Highness accept the Queen Mother's advice?"
Hearing Old Lady Lin's question, Jiang Muchen's expression became even colder, and he rejected Concubine Yuande's previous proposal almost without hesitation. Moreover, he had already sternly rejected it in the Empress Dowager's palace at that time. The old lady brought it up again this time, probably because of Chu Feiyang just now. She was deeply afraid that the Duke of Han's Mansion would have a feud with the Chu Palace, which had a transcendent status. It would be better to win over one side first through marriage!
It’s a pity that the person suggested by his mother is not to his liking. I’m afraid that Old Lady Lin will be disappointed!
"Since the old lady likes him, why don't you arrange a good marriage for your cousin?" Prince Chen looked straight ahead, his expression without any fluctuation, and said this coldly!
However, a hint of displeasure flashed across Old Lady Lin's eyes. If the other party was interested in Zhou'er, why would she go to so much trouble to ask Concubine Yuande to persuade Prince Chen?
After lunch on the second day, Ji Shuyu brought Qu Feiqing to visit Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng had just finished drinking the medicine when she saw her aunt and cousin coming over. She was naturally delighted and immediately asked Mu Chun to bring two cushioned stools to the bedside. She smiled and invited them to sit down. "Meng'er has been sick so many times, it really makes my aunt and cousin laugh!"
Ji Shuyu had already asked Aunt Mi about Yun Qianmeng's injuries before entering the inner room. After hearing Aunt Mi say that no bones were broken, she felt relieved. She asked the maids to give the supplements they had brought to Mu Chun, then took Yun Qianmeng's hand and said distressedly, "How could your aunt laugh at you? It's just that you have suffered so much over the years, and we are really worried about you. This morning, your grandmother wanted to come here in person, but the Sea Princess from the Sea Palace suddenly visited, and the old lady was busy at the moment, so she asked me to bring the concubine here!"
Yun Qianmeng's heart sank when she heard this. On the day of her grandmother's birthday, no one from the Sea Palace except Princess Hai Tian came to congratulate her. The birthday had already passed, but the Sea Palace sent Princess Hai to visit the Fuguo Mansion. Is there some unspeakable secret here?
"Meng'er, how could you live in such a simple house? The Prime Minister's Mansion is too much. Even though you have lost your mother, you are still the granddaughter of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion. How could they treat you so neglectfully?" But at this moment, after looking around Yun Qianmeng's boudoir, Qu Feiqing was immediately angry and stood up for Yun Qianmeng!
Yun Qianmeng looked at Qu Feiqing, whose eyes were red. A terrible thought flashed through her mind. Could it be that the Sea Palace wanted to...
"Meng'er, what's wrong with you?" Qu Feiqing saw Yun Qianmeng staring at her in a daze. Because Yun Qianmeng's ankle was still aching, her face was still a little pale today. She looked very weak, which made people very worried!
Yun Qianmeng barely managed to suppress her thoughts. Seeing her cousin's genuine concern for her, she forced a faint smile. "I'm fine, don't be angry, cousin! Father and Concubine Liu wanted to rebuild Qiluo Garden, but I politely declined!"
Ji Shuyu noticed something from Yun Qianmeng's expression and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If Fei'er had half of Meng'er's intelligence and insight, she wouldn't have to worry!
"Brother wanted to come too, but grandmother said that you were ill and now you have reached the age of marriage, so she asked you to avoid suspicion. That's why only mother and I came!" Qu Feiqing was relieved when she saw that Yun Qianmeng did not seem to feel aggrieved in her words, and then changed the subject!
But her words reminded Yun Qianmeng of Chu Feiyang who jumped through the window last night. If her cousin was too polite, then Chu Feiyang was a person who had no idea what Qi Kan was!
But there was one thing that made Yun Qianmeng curious: how did her cousin act under Chu Feiyang?
Seeing how well his daughter and Yun Qianmeng were getting along, Ji Shuyu thought for a moment before gently asking, "Meng'er, you were injured first. The old lady in the mansion is old, and Prime Minister Yun is busy with official duties, and two of his concubines are pregnant. Why don't I return to the Fuguo Mansion? I can be with the concubines and recuperate here. The old lady can see you from time to time. Isn't that great?"
Yun Qianmeng was really moved by what Ji Shuyu said, but her net had already been drawn, and she couldn't leave now, otherwise it would be a pity to miss the good show.
He could only apologize, "Thank you for your concern, aunt! But, since I was injured and went to the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion, the old lady, uncle, aunt, cousins and sisters are all really worried about me, but those outsiders will think that I was wronged in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I returned to my mother's family! By then, those gossipers will probably make up a lot of stories about us! And my cousin and cousin are not married yet, how can we let these trivial matters ruin the important matter of marriage?"
Ji Shuyu felt a sudden warmth in her heart after hearing Yun Qianmeng's analysis. She hadn't considered this! Her two children were now at marriageable age. Recently, the wives of officials had been coming in and out of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion all day long, all they talked about were the children's marriages. If negative comments were to have a negative impact on the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, it would indeed have the most direct impact on the two children!
She had only wanted to make Yun Qianmeng feel more comfortable. If Yun Qianmeng hadn't reminded her, she really wouldn't have thought of this! Thinking of this, Ji Shuyu felt even more distressed for Yun Qianmeng. She gently stroked Yun Qianmeng's pale face and said softly, "When your cousin gets married, your aunt will definitely have someone take you to live in the mansion for a year or two, so that you two sisters can have a good chat!"
Yun Qianmeng smiled elegantly upon hearing this, and then agreed!
But Concubine Qu blushed at the two of them, and threw herself into Ji Shuyu's arms and said coquettishly, "My daughter will never marry and will live in the Fuguo Mansion!"
Ji Shuyu smiled dotingly, tapped her pretty nose and said in feigned anger, "What girl doesn't get married? Besides, you've married well. Wouldn't it be better to find a better husband for Meng'er in the future?"
After hearing this, Qu Feiqing's shyness eased a little. Then her big watery eyes kept looking at Yun Qianmeng's beautiful appearance, and she nodded seriously, which made Ji Shuyu shake his head. But he was still unsure in his heart, wondering how the old lady talked with the Princess of the Sea!
Yun Qianmeng saw that Ji Shuyu had something on his mind, so he pretended to be
