Three months later, Mu Qianxue recovered, and Old Madam Mu planned to hold a welcoming banquet for her. It was called a welcoming banquet, but in reality, Mu Qianxue was at marriageable age, and Old Madam Mu wanted to find her a good husband.
The mansion became busy early in the morning, and Gu Yunran also got up early.
Ruizhu was dressing her when a maid came in and handed her a letter.
"Second Madam, a letter from Sister Taohua."
Gu Yunran reached out to take it and let Ruizhu reward the little maid with a silver bean each.
"Thank you, Second Grandma!"
The little girl took the silver beans, put them in her arms, and left happily.
"Where is Second Madam Taohua?" Zhuye came with breakfast and asked with a smile.
Gu Yunran opened the letter, took a look, and said with a smile, "We've arrived in Taohua County."
Taohua County is the home of Taohua's maternal grandfather. Taohua's father was killed for treason. Fortunately, his subordinates used the strategy of "substituting a cat for a prince" to get Taohua and his sister out.
Prince Suping's family died unjustly, and their bodies could not even be buried.
A few years ago, Gu Yunran gave the two siblings some money. They returned to Taohua County and built an inconspicuous little temple in Taohua Mountain in Taohua County.
In the secret room of the temple, the two brothers and sisters quietly lit an eternal lamp for the 1,573 lives of the Shuping Palace.
I hope the souls of those who died unjustly can find their way home.
Ruizhu sighed, "Prince Suping is truly pitiful. He has been loyal to the emperor his entire life, but who would have thought that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he would be terribly harmed by his own deputy generals and inexplicably betrayed."
After reading the letter, Gu Yunran placed it in the brazier and said calmly, "Who can explain clearly what happened back then?"
All those involved were either beheaded or died of illness. This became a case of unsolved injustice and they were unable to judge it.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Ruizhu replied "OK".
After waiting for her to finish dressing and having breakfast, Gu Yunran's mother, who was by Madam Mu's side, came over.
"Second Madam." Mother Mu smiled and greeted Gu Yunran, then said, "The old lady asked you to go over, saying that Princess Pingyang is coming today."
Gu Yunran paused holding the spoon and replied, "Got it."
Mother Mu smiled and said, "Second Madam, don't worry. Go after breakfast."
After saying that, she went out.
Zhuye looked at Gu Yunran with some concern: "Why is Second Madam Princess Pingyang here?"
"She framed you a while ago, and now she's here today. She must have bad intentions."
Ruizhu also said, "We have to be on guard against Second Madam."
Gu Yunran nodded: "This is the shogunate, she probably wouldn't dare to do anything reckless."
"Let's go."
Gu Yunran drank a bowl of porridge and then took the two maids to Madam Mu’s Frost Courtyard.
All the women in the mansion were there. When Song Ge'er and Mu Qianyao saw Gu Yunran, they both ran over and hugged her legs.
"Second sister-in-law, you are here. Brother Song has some crispy candies."
"Second sister-in-law Yaoyao has osmanthus cake."
The Seventh Young Master and the Fifth Young Lady stuffed the delicious food in their hands into Gu Yunran's hands.
"Second sister-in-law said you should eat quickly."
The two children said in unison.
Gu Yunran smiled and picked them both up, holding one in his left hand and one in his right hand.
The two children kissed Gu Yunran on the cheek again and again. The third wife was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, while the first wife frowned, feeling angry and sour.
Song'er is her biological son. He has been raised by the old lady since he was a child and is not that close to his mother.
It would be fine if he was kissing the old lady, but Gu Yunran had only been married into the Mu family for half a year, and Song Ge'er was so kissing her that even her mother was jealous.
Qin couldn't help but waved to Song'er, "Song'er, come to mother quickly."
"Your second sister-in-law is pregnant, how can she withstand such torment from you?"
Song Ge'er didn't want to get out of Gu Yunran's arms, but when he heard what the eldest lady said, he jumped down in a hurry.
"Second sister-in-law can't hurt my nephew."
Song Ge'er jumped out of Gu Yunran's arms, and instead of looking for Qin, he ran to the old lady.
Fifth Miss Mu Qianyao also asked Gu Yunran to put her down and ran towards the Third Lady.
Princess Pingyang heard Qin's words while standing at the gate of the courtyard.
His gaze vaguely swept towards Gu Yunran's belly. The originally flat belly was now slightly bulging, and it looked like it was at least three months old.
"Cough..." Princess Pingyang coughed lightly and slowly walked in with the support of her personal maid.
Only then did Old Madam Mu notice this, and she hurriedly stood up to greet him: "I pay my respects to the Grand Princess!"
"Long live the Grand Princess!"
"Hurry up and get up!" Princess Pingyang reached out to support the old lady, her face full of smiles. "Pingyang has been held in the old lady's arms since she was a child. How can she bear the old lady's kneeling worship?"
Madam Mu reached out and patted Princess Pingyang's hand, which was held by hers, and said with a smile, "Good child."
She turned around and scolded the maid outside: "You didn't even tell me that the Grand Princess was coming."
The maid lowered her head and dared not speak. Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "Don't blame me, old lady!"
"It was me who didn't let them interpret simultaneously."
She glanced around, her gaze first landing on Mu Qianxue, then Mu Qianjiao, and finally on Gu Yunran. She blinked her big eyes and said in confusion, "Oh, isn't this Madam Lu?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and you look even more plump. How come you're associated with the Mu family?"
