The next day, Yu'er was put on a carriage. People who came back said that Yu'er cried all the way on the carriage.
He would occasionally utter foul language, hurling insults at the mistress who had sent him to the private school.
The servants did not relay the content of the scolding, but the mistress was deeply saddened.
However, she became even more convinced of the princess's words and that her actions were correct.
Hopefully, Yu'er will really improve in the private school.
Lan Shuang was diligently copying medical books in her room, but she always felt restless. Xiao Lian was grinding ink beside her, but she also seemed clumsy, which made Lan Shuang unhappy.
"Xiao Lian, look at the ink you've ground! It's not even as good as Yu'er's. Fine, go and call Yu'er over."
Upon hearing this, Xiaolian lowered her head and stood to the side. "Young Master... has been sent to a private school by the mistress."
Xiaolian finished speaking in a trembling voice, feeling very frightened.
All the servants knew the young princess's temper, so they all tacitly kept quiet about the matter.
But Xiaolian was caught up in it, and she had no choice but to speak up.
"A private school? Yu'er cries and throws a tantrum whenever he hears the word 'private school.' Would he willingly go to a private school to study? Which private school did his mother send him to?"
Xiaolian pinched her hand, mustered her courage, and replied:
"A private school on Mount Jiuhua in the north of the city."
"What!?"
Lan Shuang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
She had long heard of the private schools on Mount Jiuhua. Almost every student there was a good-for-nothing playboy, and their parents sent them there hoping they would undergo positive changes.
The reason why the students sent there could change so much after completing their studies was that the teachers in the mountains were all as strict as demons. Compared to those teachers, even the strict teacher who only used a ruler to hit the palms of the hands was considered gentle.
More importantly...
Children sent to the mountains won't be able to return home for at least two or three years!
Wouldn't she not see her Yu'er for at least two or three years?
"Who agreed to this! Yu'er is my child! Why did they send him to a private school so far away! Why didn't anyone tell me!"
Xiaolian was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.
“Mother would never treat Yu’er like this! In the past, she would feel heartbroken whenever Yu’er shed a tear, how could she bear to send Yu’er to such a faraway place!”
She frantically pulled up Xiaolian's clothes and forcibly dragged Xiaolian up from the ground.
"Tell me! Who made Mother do that! Was it that bitch! Was it her!"
At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Gu Jiangli stood by the door with a smile in her eyes.
“It was I who suggested it to the mistress.”
As soon as Lan Shuang turned around, Gu Jiangli's ambiguous smile made her lose all control of her body, and she rushed straight towards Gu Jiangli.
"You bitch! Take it out on me! Why did you hurt my child!"
But she had only taken two steps when Lotus Flower swiftly stopped her.
Lotus hugged Lan Shuang tightly, preventing her from getting any closer to Gu Jiangli, and angrily said:
"Little Princess! Don't forget! The Princess Consort is pregnant. If anything happens to her, the Prince will definitely not let you off the hook!"
Gu Jiangli stood outside the door, unmoved. "So what if you hurt your child? I wasn't the one who hurt the child first, was I?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Shuang instantly lost her momentum.
Worried that Gu Jiangli's words might be overheard by the other servants, she hurriedly pushed Hehua aside and said to her maid:
"Get out of here, all of you!"
Xiao Lian quickly left with a group of servants, and Gu Jiangli also told Hehua to leave the room.
Gu Jiangli stepped into the room, then closed the door, leaving only the two of them inside.
"Lan Shuang, I already know what you're thinking. To be honest, I'm a little surprised that you could let Yu'er carry out this 'bitter trick'."
"If the plan really succeeds, Yu'er will not only choke on water, but that dagger is very sharp. If it really stabs him, he will probably be bedridden for a long time."
"As his biological mother, how could you bear to let Yu'er take such a huge risk? Don't you feel any heartache at all?"
Lan Shuang knew her plan had been exposed, and since there was no one else in the room, she no longer intended to hide.
"He is my child, how can I not feel heartache! But Yu'er's heart is the same as mine! He would rather be injured and bleed than see your face in the palace!"
Gu Jiangli teased, "Isn't this exactly what he wanted? He won't see me for a long time now."
"You shameless bastard..."
"Don't rush to scold me." Gu Jiangli interrupted her. "You need to understand that if the mistress finds out what you did, it might not be as simple as just sending your child away and having a fight with you."
Lan Shuang was visibly flustered. "What did I do?"
"Regarding the contraceptive soup, you said it was unintentional, but whether it was unintentional or not, we both know the truth in our hearts."
"If the mistress knew that you had gone to great lengths to ensure your brother had no children in order to fight for the family fortune, she might never trust you again. If things really turned out that way, you would truly be isolated and helpless in the royal palace."
"At that time, not only will you not get a share of the family property, but Yu'er may also no longer be raised by you after she returns from the private school."
Lan Shuang took a step back, trembling. "You...you're threatening me?"
“Yes, I’m threatening you.” Gu Jiangli admitted without hesitation, “If anything happens to me during my ten months of pregnancy, I will assume it’s your doing, and I will put all the blame on you. I will also reveal all your hidden motives to the mistress, making you lose all your support.”
