By feigning anger, Yan Jiao grew even more dissatisfied with Madam Mo.
If Yan Jiao is then flattered, especially with those clothes, Yan Jiao will think that Su Wenyuan is trying to please her.
With that confidence, she dared to go against Madam Mo. Even if Madam Mo wanted to stop her, she couldn't stop Yan Jiao from entering the mansion.
Both of them arrived, and they helped with the tidying up.
Just as Madam Mo said, once you arrive at Prince Chen's residence, it will be Su Wenyuan's place.
He Meiqiu was easier to deal with than Yan Jiao. Her mother was determined to send her to the Prince Chen's mansion, and they agreed as soon as Su Wenyuan brought it up.
Yan Jiao had a sober Madam Mo behind her, but He Meiqiu didn't. As soon as Su Wenyuan left, she was showing off her clothes everywhere.
The Prince Chen's residence was busy preparing to welcome them.
"What does the Princess mean by this? She was so angry, yet she still wants to bring him over?"
"Who knows? But the princess instructed that no one is allowed to talk about what happened today! Especially after those two people arrived."
"Don't worry, how about we put the bronze mirror here?"
That evening, Sheng Jingyu asked her what she was going to do, and Su Wenyuan replied irritably that she didn't know.
She's still angry.
The two did not exchange another word until the next morning.
Before entering the palace, Su Wenyuan arranged for two carriages to pick up Yan Jiao and He Meiqiu.
The news spread yesterday, causing an uproar both inside and outside the palace, and even more people came to curry favor with the emperor.
The fact that the princess personally came to invite them shows how much she values them, and that they also have the support of the empress.
When Su Lin'er found out, she wanted nothing more than to make a big fuss about it everywhere.
Take Su Wenyuan, for example, as a concubine's daughter, it's impossible for Sheng Jingyu to fall in love with her.
In addition, he doesn't know how to please the Empress, so now he has to make way for others.
The Empress was pleased with herself. So what if Su Wenyuan became a princess? She could still be the master of Prince Chen.
Granny Cheng said gloatingly, "I thought Princess Consort Chen could hold out for long, but after your scare yesterday, she brought her back to the manor today and even said she wanted to go to the palace to pay her respects."
The Empress laughed and said, "Su Wenyuan won't be intimidated by me. I suspect she was scolded by Jingyu, otherwise why would she have gone to visit her yesterday afternoon?"
He initially looked down on the two concubines, not even bothering to ask them a question.
I made a surprise visit yesterday, which startled everyone.
Granny Cheng continued her analysis: "Yesterday she pretended to be sick and was just going through the motions with the Empress. If His Highness Prince Chen finds out, he will definitely be unhappy. Scolding her will be the least of his worries. In front of Prince Chen, you can be disrespectful to anyone, but you can't be disrespectful to the Empress."
The Empress breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What happened a few days ago worried me for a long time. I almost thought that I had raised him for nothing all these years. Now I can rest assured."
"Now that the princess has entered the palace, is there anything else Your Majesty needs to do?" asked Granny Cheng.
The Empress said, "No need. If she comes, just say I'm tired and won't see her. Let her get along well with the two concubines. I've already sent them over. Just watch them fight it out."
The Empress thought she had the upper hand and was waiting for Su Wenyuan to suffer a loss before coming after her.
Not seeing Su Wenyuan today is exactly what Su Wenyuan wanted.
When Su Wenyuan returned to the manor, she heard everyone complaining about the two concubines.
Complaining that the courtyard was too far away and that they wanted to live separately, Meng Qi made an excuse that other places hadn't been prepared yet, and that was the end of it. Then he started vying for rooms and demanded that the manor provide maids. Now he's already started lecturing them.
Moreover, they want whatever comes to mind, and get angry if they don't get what they want.
Su Wenyuan instructed, "If they want anything else, just say it will be the day after tomorrow. Don't exhaust your own people first."
Meng Qi nodded and then asked, "They want to see the Prince, should we stop them?"
Su Wenyuan said irritably, "I don't care! What if your prince likes her? Aren't you just blocking his chances of finding a partner?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Qi thought it made sense; the prince hadn't said he wanted to stop them.
The mansion became even more lively, as Yan Jiao and He Meiqiu insisted on paying their respects to Sheng Jingyu.
Ye Shan blocked them several times before finally sending them back.
Su Wenyuan didn't see them, but instead arranged for a maid named Xuehe to take them around.
This Xuehe was chosen by Su Wenyuan with great care.
Following Su Wenyuan's instructions, Xuehe deliberately led them to a courtyard, but said nothing and quickly walked past.
The two of them glanced at it but didn't ask any further questions.
But before they had gone far, a scream came from the courtyard.
"What happened?" Yan Jiao asked, peeking out in confusion.
Xuehe covered up and said, "It's nothing, let's hurry up and go that way."
He Meiqiu questioned, "There was clearly a sound!"
"I guess... the maid was careless and got hurt. Don't worry about it, let's go." Xuehe's smile was stiff.
The two had their doubts, but they didn't pursue the matter further and went back.
During dinner, Yan Jiao was still thinking about this matter, feeling that the people in the mansion were acting strangely.
She asked the maid in the courtyard what that place was.
The maid shook her head in terror and said, "I don't know, I don't know anything, don't ask me."
After asking several people, and hearing the same thing from each of them, Yan Jiao felt there was something wrong.
Just as I was about to discuss it with He Meiqiu, I turned around and saw her sneaking over. She said mysteriously, "There's something wrong with that courtyard. They've locked up the maids from the manor."
Yan Jiao asked in confusion, "Locking up the maid? Why?"
"Because a maidservant seduced the prince, and she was also good-looking, the princess was jealous and locked her up," He Meiqiu shared the information she had obtained.
Yan Jiao was startled, suddenly remembering Madam Mo's reminder to her.
Su Wenyuan is so ruthless. Inviting them into the manor, could it really be to make it easier to deal with them?
Seeing her like this, He Meiqiu slapped her thigh and said, "What are you panicking about? A maid is a maid, but you and I are concubines supported by the Empress, and we have families behind us. She wouldn't dare to do anything to us."
Yan Jiao didn't speak; she had just had a falling out with Madam Mo.
He Meiqiu's eyes flashed, and then she asked, "Do you think it's immoral for Princess Chen to mistreat her maids?"
Yan Jiao stared at her in disbelief...
Knowing that there would be trouble in the manor tonight, Sheng Jingyu did not return to Zhuyue Pavilion, and Hua Ling was also there.
"Your princess is quite something, spreading rumors that there are maids in the manor trying to seduce you." Hua Ling laughed so hard she almost fell over.
Sheng Jingyu said helplessly, "I can't see, so how can I seduce you?"
Hua Ling chuckled and said, "That's easy, I'll just take off my clothes and sit on you..."
"Shut up!" Sheng Jingyu glared at him fiercely.
Heaven knows who was on Hua Ling's mind when he said those words.
Hua Ling looked at him questioningly and asked, "Why are you blushing?"
"Why aren't you going back to sleep? What are you doing here?" Sheng Jingyu started to shoo him away.
Hua Ling said expectantly, "I traded a bottle of swelling-reducing ointment for an opportunity—an opportunity to participate personally. I'm waiting for the Princess's news."
He thought Su Wenyuan's scheme was to skin those two concubines alive, which was something he was good at!
In the past, those who offended Sheng Jingyu were all dealt with by him, which is why people outside say that Sheng Jingyu is terrifying.
