The princess sat there quietly, seemingly lost in thought.
Fei Yanggu's face turned from black to purple with anger. Fearing that he couldn't bear it, Liu Shi quickly helped him sit down and patted his chest, saying repeatedly, "I would gladly die ten thousand times over, but Yu'er is still your daughter."
What's done is done; getting angry won't solve anything.
Having experienced the ways of the world, Fei Yanggu had nothing he couldn't understand, and he quickly calmed down.
“Yu’er, this has already happened. Even if you scold her to death or beat her to death, you still have to clean up this mess for her. If something happens to her, it will still implicate you and the Ulanara family.” Fei Yanggu suddenly seemed to age even more. Yan Yu was also his beloved youngest daughter.
"She actually made a deal with the Ninth Prince and even brought in a child from outside to be his heir. How can I save her? Every single one of these acts is a capital offense. Not only will she die, but the entire Ulanara family will suffer disaster because of her," the Fujin said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Madam Liu immediately knelt down and cried out, "Even if I were to die ten thousand times, I could not atone for even a fraction of her sins! Please punish me, Master and Miss!"
“The Ninth Prince has already pinned her down. The only way to escape his control is to tell the Fourth Prince the truth. However, the Fourth Prince and the Eighth and Ninth Princes haven’t reached the point of open hostility yet,” the Fujin said.
“Telling Fourth Master is tantamount to sentencing Yan Yu to death. Miss, can you spare her life? Master!” At this moment, Madam Liu felt a deep sorrow. She herself had revealed her daughter’s secret, and the result was that she could not escape death.
"The only way to save face is to let that child disappear on his own," the princess said leisurely.
Fei Yanggu said, "Our Ulanara family shouldn't interfere in the affairs between princes. Sigh. Yan Yu is really something this time. Yu'er, you need to think carefully about how to withdraw from this matter without damaging the relationship between you and the Fourth Prince."
The princess's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "Father, you have fought on the battlefield for many years, do you understand a certain principle?"
Fei Yanggu's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at Liu Shi at his feet. He sighed, then looked up at his wife and said, "Go do it. Father knows what to do."
After the Fujin came out, she went to see Granny Fei again, told her to take good care of Fei Yanggu, and then left the mansion without staying for a meal.
The sedan chair moved slowly through the bustling streets. Granny Li and Chunliu followed on either side of the chair. Granny Li had overheard what Madam Liu had said, and now she was filled with utter disgust for this mother and daughter who were utterly incompetent and only good for causing trouble.
Meanwhile, Fangyun and Ninth Master were making love in that private residence. As they reached the climax, they couldn't help but let out unrestrained sounds of pleasure.
"Ninth Master, even if I were to die right now, I would be willing," Fangyun gasped for breath. Beads of sweat glistened on her bare chest.
A man came around from behind her and pulled her back into his arms.
"You're so sweet, how could I bear to let you die?!" On Lao Jiu's fair face, his bewitching phoenix eyes now resembled those of a captivating fox spirit, and his pink lips were so alluring that even Fang Yun was mesmerized.
"Master, I really want to stay here and serve you, Ninth Master. When will I be able to stop serving others?" Fangyun nestled in Ninth Master's arms, holding the end of his braid as she spoke softly.
"Yes, you can't leave the manor now. I'll let you out when I find an opportunity. My fourth brother is always cold and aloof. If he knew what you were thinking, I'm afraid he would never allow it." Ninth Master lifted Fangyun's chin with one hand, then leaned close to her head and smelled the young woman's fragrant scent.
"Now that the one in the South Courtyard is pregnant, I'm afraid the mistresses in the inner quarters are starting to get restless again!" Fangyun said casually. She envied Lanqin, who could receive the favor of the men like Lanqin, even if she was scolded by everyone.
"That Niohuru woman? Judging from her appearance, she's nothing special. How could she be favored by the Fourth Prince? She must have some extraordinary qualities." Ninth Master's impression of Lanqin was that she was intelligent but not particularly beautiful.
"If I had known her abilities, I wouldn't be in this position now." Fangyun never held back in front of Ninth Master because Ninth Master didn't hold back with her either. The two felt that the other was similar to them in temperament, and they were quite close friends, sharing a deep mutual respect.
"What, you've also taken a fancy to my fourth brother?" The ninth brother lifted Fangyun's chin, his lips slowly moving towards her breasts.
Mmm~~ Ah~~
Fangyun groaned and quickly begged for mercy, "Master, my little grapes are about to be melted by your mouth."
Old Nine seemed to be punishing Fangyun, ignoring her and making even more violent mouth movements, until Fangyun started moaning and groaning.
As for Yan Yu, since Yun Yuan's death, Fang Yun had become her confidante. Although she now lived in a larger place, her status remained unchanged. Therefore, no new servants were brought into the courtyard. Now that Fang Yun was gone, she felt dissatisfied with everything; Chun Tao and Zhui'er were nowhere near as clever as her.
"You stupid servant, you can't even brew tea properly, what use are you?" Yan Yu said angrily, and then splashed the still boiling tea bowl at Chun Tao's face.
Ah~~~
Chun Tao screamed from the burn and cried, covering her left cheek.
"Princess, please calm down! Please forgive Chuntao!" Zhuier was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Yan Yu was in a bad mood, not only because Fang Yun wasn't by her side to serve her, but also because the Fourth Master hadn't come since the baby's one-month celebration. Hearing that Lan Qin was pregnant only made her angrier.
"Your Highness, the prince seems to be unwell. Please go and take a look." A maid's voice suddenly rang out from outside. To take good care of the prince and princess, the princess's wife had specially dispatched four wet nurses to look after them, along with other maids. Each child was cared for by about three people in rotation.
"They're all a bunch of useless things!" Yan Yu threw down the two maids and followed one of them to the room where the prince and the little princess lived, stepping on the flowerpot soles of her shoes.
Hailan was seen crying and fussing, while the prince was holding his breath, seemingly unable to cry no matter what.
"What's going on?" Yan Yu asked angrily.
"Your Highness, the prince just nursed, and I wasn't paying attention, so he seems to have choked on his milk. I've patted his back, but it's not helping," the wet nurse said hurriedly. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan; if anything happened to the prince, her whole family would be doomed.
"Go and call Doctor Wu! What's the use of just calling me!" Yan Yu didn't have any feelings for the child to begin with, and seeing this, she didn't know what to do either, so she could only call for a doctor.
"The Lady Consort is not here today. I will go and fetch the Head Granny," the wet nurse said hurriedly.
"Go and call Doctor Wu directly. What time is it? Can we afford to delay the child?" Yan Yu said angrily. Although the child wasn't her biological son, if something went wrong now, all her efforts would be in vain.
