As soon as lunch was over, someone from the palace came to summon Meng Yuchuan to the palace for an audience. As soon as he left, the servants in the mansion started talking about it, guessing that the wet nurse must have committed an unforgivable crime, and even the imperial palace was alarmed.
However, these things had little to do with them, and they soon started doing their own things. However, the main courtyard was not quiet.
As soon as Meng Yuchuan left, Mrs. Lu sent a servant to call Xihe to the main courtyard to inquire about the situation. Xihe picked out some things to say, but did not mention anything about Meng Huaiyu's life experience. Finally, he comforted her:
"Don't worry, mother. His Majesty is probably just asking about the situation."
Mrs. Lu couldn't relax her brows, but she couldn't get anything out of her. She could only remind her, "Stay well in the mansion these days and don't run around." She waved her hand and let her go back.
Xihe knelt down and bowed, then turned and left.
Mrs. Lu looked at her receding figure and covered her chest with her hands. "Mammy, I can't calm down. Do you think Chuan'er will be okay?"
The nanny quickly rubbed her brows and said softly, "Madam, don't worry. Don't you still believe in the prince's ability? He will definitely handle everything. As this old servant says, there is nothing going on outside the mansion now, and everything is in perfect order inside. Why don't you put down your current affairs and enjoy your remaining years, enjoying the company of your grandchildren?"
Mrs. Lu was amused by her words, but she shook her head: "I am relieved about Chuan'er, but Mrs. Qiang... just wait a little longer."
She couldn't help but think of Qiang. Originally, she promised her son this marriage because she thought that due to her background, Qiang would be very cautious and would not dare to treat Huai Yu harshly.
Who would have thought that after marrying her, he found that things were not as they seemed at all, and she caused unrest in the family all day long.
Seeing that her son and Mrs. Qiang had become distant and had never even slept together, she had long regretted it and felt that she had harmed her son. However, after that incident, Mrs. Qiang changed her previous behavior and became more pleasing to the eye.
She observed secretly and found that Qiang was not as attentive to Huai Yu as before, but more genuine.
Huaiyu gradually became closer to Qiang, and even Chuan'er seemed to be slowly falling in love with Qiang... She was very pleased, but still felt that she should observe further.
Just then, a maid came in with medicinal food, and the two of them stopped talking.
Meng Yuchuan did not return home until dark. Because everyone was worried that the emperor would be harsh on him, they were waiting in the main courtyard. When he came back, they began to ask anxiously, and only when they heard that nothing was wrong did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hurry up and eat, or it will get cold." The old lady said.
Everyone nodded with a smile and started to eat.
The meal was finished with Meng Huaiyu's childish talk, and then everyone returned to the courtyard.
Xihe walked back to the courtyard with Meng Yuchuan and asked him what the emperor said when he entered the palace today. It was not until she entered the house, took off her coat, and found that this man had followed her in that she realized something was wrong.
"It's late at night, why don't you go back to your room to rest?"
She closed her collar.
Meng Yuchuan regretfully withdrew his gaze, but had no intention of leaving. He sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. "There's something else. Madam, don't you want to hear it?"
The smile at the corner of his mouth has a deeper meaning.
Xihe thought that he had only said that the emperor asked some questions about the spies and did not tell him about the arrangements for him, so he had to wave his hand and let Luwu take people out.
Meng Yuchuan waved his hand: "No hurry, my lady, just wash up first. I still have some time."
Xihe: “…”
It's confirmed that this guy has other intentions.
Her face flushed slightly, she gave him a cold look and turned behind the screen.
The sound of dripping water came from behind the screen. Meng Yuchuan's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and he regretted his decision for a moment.
Xihe came out from behind the screen in a thin pink shirt and sat down in front of the dressing mirror. Luwu carefully wiped her wet hair and applied perfume, then bowed and left the room with a smile on her face.
Xihe: “…”
"How is it? How is it?"
As soon as she left the room, the other maids immediately surrounded her with sparkling eyes.
Lu Wu glared at them, and everyone fell silent instantly. Lu Wu then looked around the room, smiled and nodded.
The maids' eyes lit up instantly, and they clenched their fists excitedly, "The prince and the young lady finally~" They covered their mouths and laughed so hard that their teeth were showing.
You know, they were very anxious when they saw that their master and the prince were not sleeping together for a long time.
Especially the servants in each room and courtyard, although they did not dare to do so on the surface, they actually laughed at their masters behind their backs for not winning the favor of the prince.
Every time they heard it, they were so angry that they wanted to rush up and argue, but they had no choice but to know that it was the fact.
They were helpless and anxious, but they didn't dare to urge their master. They could only pray silently that one day the two masters would reconcile and they would go back to slap those people in the face.
And today, their master finally met the prince...
Everyone was extremely excited and hurried to boil water, waiting for their master to call them.
As a result, before they could finish their excitement, less than ten minutes later, the door of the room suddenly opened and the prince staggered out.
Maids: ???
I watched the prince quickly leave the yard.
For a moment, the little maids were about to cry.
In the room, Xihe was lying on the bed, panting. After a while, he recovered and sat up. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his chest. He looked down and couldn't help but cursed him as a "beast". He blushed and pulled his clothes together.
Several lights in the room went out, the candlelight was dim, and she closed her eyes to rest.
When she was half asleep and half awake, she vaguely heard the door of the room creaking open. She opened her eyes blurryly and propped herself up to see - the bed curtain was opened, and a bony hand lifted the curtain, revealing the man's smiling eyes.
That night, the candles in the Peony Garden stayed lit until dawn.
Early in the morning, the servants of the Marquis' Mansion were surprised to find that the maids and servants in the Peony Garden were all beaming with joy. They couldn't help but ask, "Did the young lady give you money?"
The maids were choked up and were about to retort when they remembered something and laughed again: "This is much more festive than handing out money."
After saying this, he walked away triumphantly, leaving the servants in other courtyards confused.
Xihe opened his eyes and saw a smiling face.
Meng Yuchuan lowered his head and pecked her lips lightly: "My dear, did you sleep well last night?"
Xihe really admires his shamelessness, otherwise how could he say such shameless words?
Perhaps her expression was too obvious, Meng Yuchuan chuckled: "My wife, let me massage your waist for you." Then he began to massage her.
The appropriate amount of force effectively relieves physical fatigue.
Xihe's brows relaxed.
"What are you going to do about Prince Yu's Mansion?"
Last night, Meng Yuchuan told him about the arrangements made by the Emperor, which were exactly as he had expected. When the Emperor heard that the stolen map was from the border, he immediately decided to send him to the border that day to guard it in case of any accidents.
When the emperor asked about the fact that the spy was from Prince Yu's mansion, Meng Yuchuan said that he had not yet found out.
"Qingzhu is investigating and will report back to Your Majesty once there is sufficient evidence," said Meng Yuchuan.
Xihe nodded, but when she thought about the fact that this person would be leaving in two days, she felt a little reluctant. She poked his chest and said, "I'll give you a year at most. If you can't come back, I'll..." After thinking for a moment, she glared at him and said, "I'll take my mother and the rest of the family to look for you!"
