Yinreng affectionately ruffled her hair and coaxed her, saying, "When your little brother grows up a bit, Father will give him a pony."
Wenxi nodded in satisfaction, and then Wenying carried her out to play.
"It's rare to see the two children getting along so well. Wenxi is only three years old, but she already has the demeanor of a big sister."
Guarjia laughed, "This child has a cheerful personality, unlike children who grow up in the palace."
Yinreng reclined on the soft couch, watching Lady Guarjia busily preparing tea, and asked in surprise, "How come I never noticed that your tea is so delicious?"
Lady Guarjia smiled, seeing that Yinreng was in a good mood, and teased, "Your Highness has never given me the chance to make tea for you before."
Yinreng was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that his usually gentle, considerate, and even somewhat humble and timid Crown Princess would tease him. For a moment, he didn't feel angry, but only found it amusing.
"I never imagined that the Crown Princess could be so amusing."
Lady Guarjia smiled and handed over freshly brewed tea, chatting casually, "I heard an interesting story these past two days. I heard that the relationship between Ninth Brother and Eighth Brother is not as good as before, so I asked Eighth Brother's wife to borrow money from Ninth Brother, but she was turned away."
Yinreng listened to all of this in silence.
It's not that things aren't as good as before; they've clearly fallen out completely.
Guo Luoluo must be furious now.
In fact, Guo Luoluo Minglu was completely stunned when she was turned away.
This wasn't her first time visiting Yinzhen's residence; every time the gatekeeper saw her, he greeted her with a smile.
To my surprise, instead of receiving a smile, I was turned away at the door.
This scene was witnessed by many onlookers, who chuckled to themselves.
Enraged, Guo Luoluo Minglu started smashing things as soon as she got home, while Cuilan stood beside her, not daring to say a word.
She didn't calm down until she smashed all the furnishings in the bedroom.
"Madam, I think there must be some misunderstanding behind Ninth Prince's sudden actions. Why don't we send someone to investigate?" Cuilan whispered, trying to persuade him.
Seeing that Guo Luoluo's complexion had improved somewhat, he continued, "In the past, Ninth Prince always obeyed our master's every word, but now..."
Guo Luolu snorted coldly, "What else is there to inquire about? They probably think that our master has no potential after being imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court, so they are unwilling to follow him."
Cuilan suddenly realized that she might have said something wrong, but fortunately, the Fujin seemed not to have thought of that.
"Madam, the Lady sent someone to deliver a message saying that she will come to visit you at your residence tomorrow."
Guo Luolu Minglu's mood improved considerably upon hearing that her mother had arrived.
Her mother must have heard about her hardships, which is why she came to help.
"Prepare Mother's favorite tea and snacks tomorrow; we must treat her well," Guo Luoluo Minglu instructed happily, then asked, "Is Mother coming alone?"
Cuilan shook her head. "This servant doesn't know either. The invitation only said that Madam was coming."
Seeing this, Guo Luoluo Minglu stopped asking questions and instead instructed people to make preparations, saying that the rest could only be discussed tomorrow.
In the blink of an eye, my master has been imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court for several months, but there has been no news from the Emperor.
Guo Luoluo Minglu became increasingly angry as she thought about it.
Even the Ninth Prince has been released, so why is there still no news about our master?
So, the next day, as soon as Lady Guoluo entered the door, she saw Guoluo Minglu with red and swollen eyes, rushing into her arms like an unmarried child.
"Mother, you've finally arrived."
Guo Luoluo glanced at Cuilan, who immediately led all the servants out.
When only the mother and daughter remained in the room, the old woman, her face grim, scolded, "Stand up straight! What a mess you look like now!"
Guo Luoluo Minglu was taken aback, her eyes filled with doubt and shock as she looked at her mother.
She had already suffered such a great injustice; she couldn't believe her own mother hadn't heard about it.
"Mother, won't you stand up for your daughter?"
Guo Luoluo ignored her madness and sat down to the side. Then she looked up at her and said with heartache, "Our Guo Luoluo clan is a great family, and you are a daughter carefully raised by the family. How could you be so reckless?"
Guo Luoluo sat down to the side, feeling wronged. "Mother, I didn't do anything..."
Lady Guoluo glared at her. "You caused a ruckus at Yuqing Palace before, and then the Crown Princess gave you a good beating and you became quiet?"
Guo Luolu Minglu remained silent.
"And what about when you went to see Ninth Prince? You were turned away and then you started cursing at him. Don't you feel ashamed?"
With each word spoken by Lady Guoluo, Guoluo Minglu lowered her head slightly.
“Mother, now that the Eighth Prince is imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court, and the Prince Yong has come to our mansion to collect debts, I thought I should ask the Ninth Prince for help in paying back the money.”
"Then why did they refuse you entry? Didn't you hear that Ninth Prince went to the Imperial Clan Court after his confinement was lifted?"
Guo Luoluo looked somewhat bewildered. "My daughter knows he went to see Grandpa, but she doesn't know what he said."
For the first time, Mrs. Guoluo felt that her daughter was so stupid.
“Ninth Prince was originally devoted to Eighth Prince, and was even confined for three months for helping Eighth Prince frame the Crown Prince. Now that he has just been released from confinement, he went to the Imperial Clan Court, and upon his return, he refused to let you in. Didn’t you notice anything unusual about this? Even if you don’t know what they talked about, you should be able to guess that Ninth Prince is going to abandon Eighth Prince.”
Guo Luoluo Minglu pursed her lips and remained silent.
"If that's the case, why did you still go to Ninth Prince's residence to cause trouble? You are now the Eighth Prince's wife, a woman of the inner quarters. What's the meaning of going to someone else's residence to cause trouble for a prince? Can't you use your brain?"
