After hearing this, Mrs. Wu and the other maids' faces turned pale and blue, especially Mrs. Wu, who almost lost her composure and started cursing.
But in the end, she swallowed it back.
Yes, although Song Shian is a sickly person who will not live past the age of twenty, he still has the support of someone in the palace.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this empress dowager. Among so many princes, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she values Song Shian the most. He really is taking advantage of his mother who died early.
But what if you are a princess?
Didn't he die early?
When Gu Xiaoqiao saw Wu feeling aggrieved, he suddenly felt a surge of pleasure in his heart.
If you say others are bad, this woman is the bad one.
People always shout for killing and beating, but protecting animals is everyone's responsibility, ok?
At this time, Song Xingrui was still crying loudly, crying and shouting for someone to return his Dahei.
But on the other side, Madam Gu was trying to persuade Mrs. Wu.
"Madam, please leave first. The prince doesn't welcome us. If we stay, we might end up in trouble."
After he finished speaking, he leaned over to Wu's ear and whispered, "Madam, let's go back first. We're afraid that by the time the palace gets to know the news, it will be difficult for us to respond."
Mrs. Wu also knew this, but she really couldn't swallow this anger.
"What if I insist on taking this beast away today?"
Gu Xiaoqiao: “…”
[How rude! You keep calling me a beast! You are a beast, and so are your whole family!]
Hearing Gu Xiaoqiao's cursing, Song Shian was speechless for a moment.
It seems that he needs to teach her some etiquette in the future. Although she is a cat, she can't swear like this.
It’s fine to scold Mrs. Wu, but there’s no need to scold others as well.
"Then Madam is determined to take him away?"
Yunsheng sighed, "Alas, everyone in Kyoto knows that our prince is frail and sickly, and he can't stand being bullied. If he gets angry with his wife, it would be hard to explain to her, not to mention her, even if she becomes the Marquis."
He said this in a very tactful way, but the suggestive meaning was obvious.
After hearing Yunsheng's words, the flames of anger in Wu's heart were ignited again.
She sneered, her eyes fierce.
Seeing this, Nanny Gu felt uneasy.
She knew Wu's character. If she was angered, she would do anything, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
So she quickly stepped forward and said gently in her ear, "Madam, the prince is not in good health. We should leave here first to avoid unnecessary trouble. This beast, we can't come openly, so why can't we do it secretly?"
Mrs. Wu narrowed her eyes, looked at Nanny Gu, and then glanced at Song Shian and Yunsheng.
Finally, he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, since this is just a misunderstanding, I'll take Rui'er back first. The Crown Prince is not in good health, so he must rest well. After all, the Queen Mother is the one who most wants to attend your coming-of-age ceremony."
After saying this, he left with Nanny Gu and a group of servants.
Looking at the group's receding backs, Song Shian showed a hint of sarcasm on his face.
He could still see through Wu's tricks.
…
After Wu returned to her yard, she smashed everything she could in her room until she had vented her anger. Only then did her mood ease a little.
But then, as if she had thought of something, she called Nanny Gu and whispered a few words in her ear. Nanny Gu shook her head with an embarrassed look on her face.
"This... this is probably inappropriate."
Wu's expression immediately changed when she heard this. "What's wrong? Are you going to make me live my life by looking at that sickly person's face?"
Seeing her emotional, Nanny Gu quickly comforted her: "That's not what I meant, it's just... the prince's status is special after all, if this..."
Before she could finish her words, Wu snorted coldly and interrupted her.
"Humph, he's just a loser. Even if something happens, what can we do?"
"It's not that I'm worried about the prince, it's mainly...mainly that the Empress Dowager is afraid..."
Nanny Gu hesitated to speak.
"Her Majesty, no matter how noble the Queen Mother is, she is still so old. How can she monitor the movements outside all the time?"
At this point, Wu raised her chin slightly, her expression proud, "My elder sister is the imperial concubine of the dynasty, my father is the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and my brother is the Minister of the Supreme Court. Why can't my child take the throne of a mere crown prince?"
"Besides, they can only be so arrogant for a while, relying only on the Queen Mother's favor. If they really push me to the limit, I will make them pay the price!"
"Yes, I understand."
Nanny Gu nodded in response, then tentatively asked, "Madam, are you planning to enter the palace now?"
Mrs. Wu frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Oh, go get me some clothes. I want to go to the palace and see the Imperial Concubine."
"...This, I am afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Wu sneered, "You don't really think this will reach the Queen Mother's ears, do you? Even if she knew, she wouldn't have any evidence and wouldn't do anything to me!"
"Yes, yes, I will have someone do it right away. Madam, please wait a moment."
Seeing this, Nanny Gu had no choice but to retreat.
…
On the other hand, after Yunsheng drove away the Wu family, Gu Xiaoqiao finally felt a little better.
"Sir, I've discovered this cat is incredibly courageous. Don't be fooled by its tiny size; it managed to hold its own against that giant black dog. It's truly remarkable!"
