At this moment, the noblewomen who had come to the private rooms on the second floor to buy jewelry were all listening intently, realizing that the Jue Luo clan had come to cause trouble for Qingyan. Their maternal uncles were powerful figures; if Qingyan went too far, many people would surely criticize her.
Ejeku was a bad person, and very few court officials had a good relationship with him; only the hooligans in Dashilan had a good relationship with him.
"Who are you?!" Qingyan's face was half-veiled in pink and blue, her watery eyes fixed on the man in front of her.
This man was around forty years old and bore a resemblance to the Jue Luo clan. After noticing Qingyan's appearance, he kept staring intently at her. Yin narrowed his eyes; the man's gaze was lewd, and without knowing Qingyan's identity, he treated her as an ordinary person.
“Little beauty…” Ejeku gazed at the beautiful Qingyan, and his heart burned with desire.
Su Peisheng, accompanied by his guards, followed the two into the private room. Two guards in bright yellow royal robes stood at the door, startling everyone around them; these were clearly members of the royal family.
"Master!" The deputy manager knelt down to pay his respects. Yin waved his hand, signaling the deputy manager to rise first.
Ejeku's antics at Linglong Pavilion had no supervisory relationship with the manager; it was simply that the Jue Luo clan's people weren't disciplined enough.
"You are the Fourth Prince's wife?!" Ejeku asked in surprise, pointing at Qingyan.
Jue Luo Shi and Qing Yan had a bad relationship, and every time she returned to her parents' home, she only took Qing Ya with her. Therefore, Ejeku always thought that Qing Ya was the Fourth Prince's wife.
Those present were taken aback. Was this the maternal family of the Fourth Prince's wife?
The Fourth Prince's wife is already a teenager, and she doesn't even recognize her uncle?
The women in the next private room were filled with gossip. It seemed that the rumors about the Fourth Prince's wife and her family were not unfounded. Now, the commotion next door would definitely become their topic of conversation.
"Yes!" Qingyan didn't hide anything and said it directly: the Jueluo family would only appear in front of Ulanara when they needed help. Otherwise, they would just put on a high and mighty attitude and wait for their mother to deliver things.
Ejeku felt a chill run down his spine. The indifferent man beside him must be the Fourth Prince.
Damn it!
How could Qingyan bring the Fourth Prince along?
"It's quite good that you came here. You sent a servant to order jewelry, and you actually want money!" Ejeku and the Gioro clan were used to asking for things and didn't take Yin seriously at all. This made Yin even more suspicious about how Ejeku got into the court.
Qingyan was stunned. Was he really forty?
“Master, the Jue Luo clan never respects Madam, which is why they are so brazen when it comes to asking for money,” Su Lan said softly to Qing Yan, standing beside her.
Previously, Su Lan had inadvertently witnessed a member of the Gioro clan entering the mansion to ask for something. That person was merely a servant of Ejeku, yet he acted arrogantly in front of the Gioro clan.
What?!
Qingyan glanced at Sulan. How dare these people be so presumptuous in front of the Jueluo clan?
"Master, what I saw was merely this person's lackey, speaking so arrogantly in front of Madam!" Under Qingyan's intense gaze, she spoke directly.
Qingyan felt a pang of sadness. Her mother's situation was not good, yet she hadn't said a word. It seemed necessary to have her father and the others find out more about it.
"Sushu, send someone to find Father!" Qingyan's face darkened. The Jueluo clan did not take the Ulanara clan seriously and still wanted their people to do things for them.
Su Shu left, but Ejeku's gaze remained unchanged, and her anger grew even stronger.
Yin sat to the side, serving as a backdrop and offering some support to Qingyan.
Inside the private room, apart from the people Yin brought, the servants around Ejeku had already rushed back to the mansion to report.
Early in the morning, Ejeku came over and started making a fuss after the Linglong Pavilion opened, and most of the people in the mansion were unaware of it.
A few days ago, the head of the Jue Luo clan warned everyone that they must not oppose the Fourth Prince's wife. Today, Ejeku has once again stood against Qingyan just for the sake of the concubine's favorite headdress. How can this not make people angry?
Soon, Fei Yanggu and the Jue Luo clan chief received the news and rushed over on horseback. Qingyan took a sip of tea and watched as Menke vomited. Fei Yanggu hadn't even changed out of his court robes, and the Jue Luo clan chief followed behind him. Qingyan was taken aback. Why was her mother here?
The head of the Jue Luo clan walked last, while Qing Yan sat sideways on the grand chair, receiving the greetings from Fei Yanggu and the Jue Luo clan.
“Father, Mother…” Qingyan personally got up and helped Fei Yanggu and Jue Luo Shi to their feet.
At this moment, the patriarch of the Jue Luo clan appeared. She looked at him coldly, a faint smile playing on her lips. This man was simply courting death.
When Feiyanggu arrived, the Jueluo clan and its patriarch appeared and pleaded for Ejeku, which probably calmed things down.
After all, Lady Jue Luo was Yin's mother-in-law. Even if one doesn't care about the monk, one should still consider the Buddha. Ultimately, this was an internal matter of the Ulanara family.
Things are different now that Fei Yanggu has come over; things are harder to resolve.
"Little Darling, didn't we go to the suburbs?" Fei Yanggu was a little stunned. Why did this girl come to Linglong Pavilion?
Could it be...?
"Father, something happened at Linglong Pavilion, I definitely have to show up, especially since it's Mother's family!" Qingyan was furious and determined to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Today, all the ministers are resting, and the capital is in an uproar. If the matter of the Jue Luo family is not resolved properly, the reputation of Linglong Pavilion will probably be truly ruined.
Absolutely not!
"Everyone, sit down first!" Yin gestured to the seats, indicating that everyone should sit down before continuing.
Jue Luo looked at Ejeku with concern, and then thought of her mother's words that all the sisters should help their brother. Thinking of this, she felt a little disheartened.
"Speak," Qingyan said, looking at Ezheku. His reason for coming was too suspicious.
Could a mere concubine really drive Ejeku to such a loss of reason?
No one present could believe it, and even Jue Luo's eyes showed a strange expression.
"Ejeku, I told my family not to come to Linglong Pavilion anymore. Why didn't you listen!" Jue Luo felt utterly humiliated; her family had really disrespected her.
It made her lose face in front of outsiders, but Yin didn't seem to care much.
Ignoring the advice of the Gioro clan, Ejeku began to argue with Feiyanggu.
At this moment, many of the ladies outside rose to take their leave. The manager instructed the assistant manager to greet the ladies outside, and Qingyan waved to Sulan.
"Go and write down the details of the residence!" Qingyan was worried; they had just argued fiercely and might very well make a fool of themselves.
Su Lan nodded and hurried out to handle Qing Yan's orders. Jue Luo glanced at Qing Yan, pursed her lips, and no longer pleaded, as if she didn't recognize Ejeku. (To be continued.
