In Linglongfang, Xu Wanqing was choosing jewelry with her maid.

Her little niece's birthday is coming up in a few days, and she plans to pick out some lightweight pearl flowers suitable for children to wear.

Aunt Su stood at the door and looked inside. She was secretly delighted when she saw someone there.

This girl from the Xu family is also a simple person. She just used some tricks and successfully led people here.

Aunt Su adjusted the gold hairpin in her hair, walked in holding a handkerchief, and slowly walked to Xu Wanqing.

Xu Wanqing thought she wanted to look at the jewelry, so she subconsciously took a step aside, but her hand was suddenly grabbed.

"Ah——" Aunt Su grabbed Xu Wanqing's hand tightly and screamed in a hoarse voice, which immediately attracted the attention of people around her.

"Isn't this the young lady of the Xu family!" Aunt Su shouted in a pinched voice, her clear eyes wide open.

"I never thought that we would meet today." Aunt Su bowed and said, "I am here to greet the mistress in advance..."

Xu Wanqing's expression suddenly changed, and she instinctively tried to pull her hand out.

The hand of the person in front of her was like an iron clamp, pinching her so that she couldn't move.

"Where did this crazy woman come from!" Xu Wanqing's maid Zhu'er raised her eyebrows and pointed at Aunt Su's nose and shouted.

"My young lady has not yet been engaged! How can a pure and innocent girl become your mistress?" Zhu'er asked loudly.

Rumors are like a sword that kills people! If she can't explain it clearly now, her young lady's innocence will be ruined!

Aunt Su grabbed Xu Wanqing's hand, and without saying anything about her identity, she just smiled flatteringly: "Last time when the young lady came to our house, my old lady fell in love with her at first sight. This is a blessing for the young lady..."

Zhu'er was stunned and looked up and down at the woman in front of her.

Her young lady seldom interacted with others. During this period, she did not go out except for a trip to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Princess Changle.

Looking more closely, the lady in front of me seems to be the aunt of the second daughter of the Hua family?

Xu Wanqing calmed down after a brief moment of unconsciousness, and calmly said to the person in front of her: "My marriage is decided by my parents and the matchmaker. Now that the marriage is undecided, no matter whose concubine the wife is from, it is against the rules!"

Aunt Su was stunned. Why was the girl's reaction different from what she had imagined?

Shouldn't she be filled with shame and anger, and cry and go back to her parents to ask for an explanation?

"I won't care about how Madam has ruined my reputation today." Xu Wanqing took advantage of Aunt Su's daze and forcefully pulled her hand back.

"But if it happens again, I will come to your house to ask for an explanation!" Xu Wanqing said firmly, and walked out with her maid.

She is calm and composed. Who wouldn't praise her for her good character?

"Isn't this Madam Su from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Suddenly someone whispered, "I said it looked familiar!"

"Madam Su has been in charge of the family for many years and has been doted on. She is no different from the head wife..."

"She is just from a brothel, but she can be on equal footing with all the noble ladies in the capital..."

"I think Madam Su's good days are over. It's impossible that this Miss Xu is coming to be someone's concubine, right?"

"Hush! What nonsense are you talking about! The Xu family is an honest family, how could they possibly marry their daughter to them?"

…

The two listened to these words, and Zhu'er said bitterly: "This concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion is too shameless!"

She helped Xu Wanqing get on the carriage, and seeing that she looked distracted, she hurriedly comforted her, "Miss, don't worry!"

"In terms of age, Prime Minister Hua can be your father! Your family will never marry you off to him!"

Xu Wanqing looked dazed and smiled bitterly, "Why not?"

Her sister-in-law has wanted to marry her off for a long time!

"Then, then let's go find Princess Changle? The princess will definitely not ignore it!" Zhu'er was anxious.

Xu Wanqing looked at her with amusement: "The princess hasn't even married yet, how can you interfere in other people's marriages?"

If this gets out, will Princess Changle's reputation be ruined?

Asking for forgiveness in this matter would only make things difficult for the princess.

Xu Wanqing calmed herself down and told the driver, "Go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"

What's the point of her panicking here? She still has to find Miss Hua to confirm the authenticity of the news first!

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo, Xu Wanqing lifted the curtain and saw Princess Lin'an who had just jumped out of the carriage.

The two sides looked at each other, but before they could speak, they suddenly heard the sound of hurried horse hooves approaching.

Everyone looked back in confusion and saw Li Gu, who was beside Prime Minister Hua, riding his horse towards them. He dismounted before he got close.

"Miss! The old lady is critically ill! Please follow me and save her immediately!"
