Seeing Wu Kuzha's tears, Hongzhou felt very sad. After all, he didn't want to hurt Wu Kuzha's feelings because of this. But he couldn't let his suspicions about Qiu Yun be related to the letter placed in the study. After all, the fewer people who knew, the better.
However, at this moment, Wu Kuzha was heartbroken and shedding tears over this matter. Hongzhou felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by a hand. So Hongzhou grabbed Wu Kuzha's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Qiu Yun's origins are unknown. Summon her tomorrow and let her leave the manor."
Seeing that Wu Kuzha's sadness had not lessened, Hongzhou knew that Wu Kuzha was still not at ease, so he continued, "She came here to repay the kindness of the silver I gave her. Now that she has repaid enough, let her leave the manor."
Seeing Hongzhou's reaction, Wukuza felt relieved and slowly wiped away her tears, nodding gently. Hongzhou, seeing Wukuza like this, reached out and gently wiped away her tears, saying with heartache, "If something like this happens again in the future, if Mother suffers another great calamity, you must stay with me. It pains me to see you endure this so much."
Upon hearing Hongzhou's words, tears welled up in Wukuza's eyes again, but this time her heart was filled with joy, not worry and fear. Wukuza wrapped her arms around Hongzhou's waist, gently leaned on his shoulder, and said with a slight sob, "I understand."
The next day, Wu Kuzha sent someone to summon Qiu Yun to the main courtyard. "This servant greets Your Highness. May I ask why Your Highness has summoned me here?"
Wu Kuzha waved her hand to let her up. Although Hongzhou had made it clear to her yesterday that he had no other intentions toward Qiuyun, Wu Kuzha felt very sad when she thought of Geng's desire to make Qiuyun Hongzhou's concubine. Now that she saw Qiuyun, she did not feel the same affection she had before.
Wu Kuzha glanced at Qiu Yun in front of her and said slowly, "You should leave the manor in the next few days."
Upon hearing Wu Kuzha's words, Qiu Yun's face froze, and she immediately knelt down, "Fujin, have I done something wrong? Does Fujin not want me anymore?"
Seeing Qiu Yun's tearful appearance, Wu Kuzha felt no pity. She simply said, "This is the prince's wish."
Although Wu Kuzha's words were indeed Hongzhou's intention, Qiuyun felt that Wu Kuzha couldn't tolerate her. However, even if she persisted, it would be difficult to change anything, so she tearfully agreed.
"I will give you some money. After you leave the manor, you will have to make a living on your own."
"This servant thanks you, Madam, for your great kindness and virtue. I will never forget it." Wan Qiuyun then withdrew, but instead of leaving the mansion directly, she went straight to Rongyi Courtyard.
When Geng saw Qiu Yun, who was drinking tea, she was very surprised and quickly asked, "What happened? Why do you look like this?"
Upon hearing Geng's words, Qiu Yun cried even more bitterly, and after sobbing for a long time, she finally came out and said, "The Princess Consort cannot tolerate this servant. The Princess Consort wants this servant to leave the Prince's Mansion and go elsewhere to make a living."
Upon hearing Qiu Yun's words, Geng slammed her cup down on the table with a heavy thud. She snorted and said, "I can tell that Wu Kuzha doesn't respect me as her mother-in-law. You are a member of my household, and she has no say in this palace."
"You can stay in my courtyard; you don't need to leave."
