Upon hearing Geng's words, Qiu Yun quickly expressed her gratitude, and thus Qiu Yun ultimately stayed at the Prince He's residence.
However, after this incident, Geng Shi also realized that the matter of Qiu Yun being asked to leave the mansion by Wu Kuzha Shi was also approved by Hong Zhou. Otherwise, even if Wu Kuzha Shi disliked Qiu Yun, she would not dare to expel Qiu Yun from the Prince He's mansion in this way. After all, Wu Kuzha Shi also knew that Qiu Yun was her person, and Wu Kuzha Shi's suppression of Qiu Yun was the same as her suppression of her.
Therefore, after calming down, Madam Geng knew that the matter of making Qiu Yun Hongzhou's concubine could not be brought up again. She knew Hongzhou's temperament very well, and if she pushed him too far, it would definitely damage the relationship between mother and son. Moreover, Hongzhou had already begun to suspect whether she was his biological mother. If any further misunderstandings arose over this matter, the consequences would be unimaginable for Madam Geng.
Thinking of this, Madam Geng looked at Qiu Yun in front of her and slowly instructed, "From now on, you can stay in my courtyard. You don't need to send flowers to Hong Zhou anymore."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qiu Yun also knew that in the current situation, it was best for her not to draw attention to Hong Zhou.
Qiu Yun understood perfectly well that the reason Geng Shi was willing to keep her today was not because she was particularly favored by Geng Shi, but because Wu Kuzha Shi's expulsion of her from the mansion was, in another sense, a slap in the face to Geng Shi. If Geng Shi did nothing, it would let the people in the inner courtyard know that Wu Kuzha Shi was the true mistress of the Prince He's mansion, something Geng Shi absolutely could not compromise on.
However, if she were to appear beside Hongzhou again and displease him, Geng Shi would not be able to protect her, since she would not risk damaging her relationship with Hongzhou for the sake of a maid like Qiu Yun. Therefore, in this power struggle, she would ultimately be abandoned.
Meanwhile, in the front courtyard, Wu Kuzha was worried about Qiu Yun. So, after Qiu Yun left the front courtyard, she ordered someone to follow her. She also learned that Geng had kept Qiu Yun in the courtyard and had not let her leave the palace. Wu Kuzha was aware of Geng's attitude, but she couldn't say anything more to Geng at this moment. If she continued to dwell on this matter, Hong Zhou would be in a very difficult position between the two of them.
After returning from his duty at the palace, Hongzhou went directly to Wukuzha's courtyard. After all, Wukuzha had been very sad yesterday, and Hongzhou was also a little worried, so he thought he would go and see her first.
Hongzhou arrived at the front courtyard with his personal attendant and dismissed the maids who were serving him. Wu Kuzha heard Hongzhou's footsteps and quickly got up to greet him, bowing and saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Hongzhou quickly helped Wukuzha up, and seeing a hint of sadness in her expression, he asked softly, "Has she left?"
Wu Kuzha sighed softly upon hearing this, "Qiu Yun refused to leave, so her mother kept her in Yirong Courtyard. Your Highness, you know that your mother likes her very much."
Seeing this, Hongzhou didn't say anything more, only saying, "From now on, she can stay in Yirong Courtyard."
"Yes," Wu Kuzha nodded.
Seeing that Wu Kuzha was still frowning, Hongzhou knew what was on her mind, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, Mother will never mention taking a concubine again. Mother knows my attitude now."
Upon hearing Hongzhou's words, Wukuzha's worries eased somewhat. "Thank you, Your Highness."
