Chapter 229
"Your Highness, please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding." Upon hearing this, Granny Luo quickly comforted the old princess.
Granny Luo frowned as she looked at the gossipy maids at the door. Didn't they know that the old princess was in poor health?
How dare they discuss these unfounded accusations in front of the old princess?
“There’s no smoke without fire. If this didn’t happen, why would they bring it up?” After saying this, the old princess coughed a few times, clearly also having doubts about the matter.
“Your Highness, Miss Li is not that kind of person. Besides, if it weren’t for Lord Li’s timely reminder that day, you…” Granny Luo quickly stopped speaking, after all, the old princess was unaware that she had been poisoned.
"What's wrong with me? Cough..." The old princess looked at Granny Luo with some confusion, feeling that she was hiding something from her.
However, she didn't say anything, and the old princess didn't ask either.
Now, her doubts have only deepened.
"Your Highness, you are alright. It's just that this old servant is thinking that someone might be jealous of Miss Li and is deliberately spreading rumors. Think about it, wasn't the young prince also with Miss Li when she went to Li'an County?"
If something were to really happen, the young master wouldn't allow it to happen, would he?
"Didn't Qingshi say he was coming back? Why haven't I seen him?" The old princess felt even more upset when she talked about her grandson.
After all, she had been missing her grandson terribly these past few days, but Xu Qingshi had returned without visiting her.
And Zheng Qiaoshu, she hasn't seen her since she woke up.
“The young master will definitely come once he has rested well,” said Granny Luo, her eyes darting around.
She had heard that the young prince was actually suffering from seasickness and was still recovering.
I'm afraid they won't be able to come to Ci'an Hall anytime soon.
"Where is Qiao Shu? I'm sick, why didn't she come?" the old princess said with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness, Miss Zheng, it's time to go back." Granny Luo quickly gave the reason she had prepared beforehand.
"She's not going back without a word?" The old princess was very dissatisfied upon hearing this. She had treated Zheng Qiaoshu well, and she just left like that?
Her brother, unaware of the situation, thought she had mistreated her.
She didn't even bring a decent congratulatory gift.
If I go back like this, my brothers in my wife's family will probably gossip about me behind my back.
"Miss Zheng, you had something to attend to and left in a hurry. I'm sure the Zheng family won't blame you," said Granny Luo with a smile.
He thought to himself that the patriarch of the Zheng family was probably on his way to the capital.
What Zheng Qiaoshu did was no small matter.
The sounds of the wind outside also reached the ears of the little ones.
"My God, Xu Qingshi's beautiful stepmother got married?" Jiang Yu exclaimed in disbelief.
"Keep your voice down, this isn't a good thing," Xie Yanzhi quickly stopped him.
She thought to herself, "If Xu Qingshi knew about this, he would probably be very upset."
"Everyone says that, right?" Jiang Yu didn't think he had said anything wrong, after all, he wasn't the one who said it.
However, he didn't understand. Didn't his mother say that Miss Li was a good person?
Why did she suddenly abandon Uncle Xu and marry someone else?
"I don't think Miss Li will abandon Qing Shi." Xie Yanzhi thought of Li Zhiwei, who had protected them at all costs back then.
It should be someone who likes Uncle Xu.
Otherwise, why would she insist on protecting people who are unrelated to her?
"Who knows? I haven't seen Qingshi in ages. Why don't we go to Prince An's residence to find him?"
