"Old Madam, Young Madam, Eighth Miss, the people of the Guo family have found someone to match the horoscopes, so they have also planned an auspicious date for the engagement. They have specially sent it to the old madam and the general for their review, and asked the masters in the mansion to wait for it."

When the grandfather and grandson opened it, they found that the date on it was exactly the same as the date on the invitation sent from the princess's mansion.

Du Jingyi said to Madam Gu with a smile in his eyes.

"Grandma is indeed very good at predicting things. It looks like we and the Guo family can get away with it."

Madam Gu just glanced back with a faint smile and did not respond.

She had lived in Jinling City for a long time, so how could she not know about the ridiculous things Princess Yuehua did in her fiefdom? Therefore, she looked down on this princess and tried to have as little contact with her as possible on a daily basis.

What's more, the fact that she has a close relationship with Princess Fu shows that they are birds of a feather.

The current situation of the General's Mansion does not need to rely on them for anything, so it is really not that important whether to go or not. The Guo family thinks the same way.

Princess Yuehua's mind is fickle. Although she is on good terms with everyone in the East Palace, she has never insisted on standing behind the Crown Prince. She also has many connections with the Fourth Prince. So when she is playing both sides, there is really no need for the Guo family to get involved.

At the same time, it is also to show others that the Eastern Palace and the Guo family do not want those who are wavering.

"Okay, go tell the person from the Guo family who delivered the letter that we know about it and we will be waiting for you on that day."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Nanny Dou left, Madam Gu gave instructions to Du Jingyi.

"Shao Yu is not in the mansion, you should send someone to the Duke's Mansion to tell Shang Yukuan the date, otherwise it will be bad for Xue Niang to be known as disrespectful to elders in the future."

"Don't worry, grandma. I'll ask Butler He to go there. He has a very humble personality and will definitely get this done."

"Well, you decide."

That afternoon, Shang Yukuan had a terrible headache.

On one side was a post from Princess Yuehua's Mansion delivered personally by Princess Fu, and on the other side was news from the General's Mansion.

These are two major events, but they have to be put together.

Mrs. Wei was good at adding fuel to the fire and spoke as she stood by.

"Look, sir, what are the people in the general's mansion trying to do? Princess Yuehua has just set the time, and they rushed to send such news. Isn't this obviously going against Princess Yuehua?"

"By the way, they also tricked our Duke's Mansion into it. The Guo family and the General's Mansion are both favorites of His Majesty, so it's fine if we offend them, but if we offend Princess Yuehua's Mansion, we won't be able to marry into their family in the future."

After hearing this, Shang Yukuan felt more helpless and embarrassed.

Until now, he had not dared to tell anyone that only he could go to the General's Mansion and Madam Wei was not allowed to enter. If he did, he was afraid that the commotion would become even worse.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Mrs. Wei thought that what she said had worked, so she quickly added a sentence.

"Xue Niang is our own child after all, and it's just a betrothal. It doesn't matter whether the master goes or not, as we have Madam Gu to keep the peace. But the invitation to Princess Yuehua's mansion is not easy to get. The master also knows that if the eldest lady didn't have some face in front of her, I'm afraid our mansion wouldn't be able to get it."

Shang Yukuan hated solving these problems the most, and Madam Wei was pestering him so much, so he just gave up and said something.

"You arrange it. I'll tell Liu Lang and the others and we'll arrive later."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei immediately smiled and said yes repeatedly.

"Then I will pass the message to Madam first and ask her to pick us up when the time comes."

"You decide."

In the study, Shang Yukuan was sighing. He was a man without any ideas to begin with, and at this moment he didn't know whether this decision was right or not.

And he had not expected that after such a "little thing", his relationship with the General's Mansion, or in other words, the bloodline descended from Madam Gu, would deteriorate to such a situation.

If he had known this earlier, he would never have done this.

It’s a pity that knowing it earlier is priceless.

Mrs. Wei walked out of the study in a good mood, as if after this battle, she had established her prestige in front of the general's mansion and others, so she was very happy.

I originally wanted to ask a servant to deliver the news to Prince Fu's Mansion, but after thinking it over carefully, I finally decided to go there in person.

So he ordered the carriage to be harnessed and he headed straight away.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Prince Fu's mansion.

Looking at the large golden words "Fuwang Mansion", Madam Wei felt a sense of relief as if she had finally vented her grievances, and then she walked through the gate.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Zhilingyuan.

Princess Fu was in the yard giving orders to her servants when she heard that her mother had arrived. She raised her eyebrows and knew that her mother would not come to see her for no reason. There must be a reason, so she spoke.

"Please ask mother to come in."

Madam Wei entered the room and still had to perform the necessary formalities. After all, her daughter was a princess after all. Princess Fu pulled her to sit down and spoke.

"Mother, you must have something to say today, why are you being so formal?"

Mrs. Wei smiled, patted her lovingly and said, then quickly told her what had happened that day.

"Princess, you are smart. The General's Mansion just sent a message saying that the day when the Guo family will propose is the day when Princess Yuehua will host the Spring Banquet. Not only do they not want to accept the princess's favor, but they are also trying to make things difficult for us. Aren't they going to force your father to reject the Spring Banquet?"

I have to say that Mrs. Wei thinks a lot. Even if the general's mansion doesn't have such an intention, she can still imagine some of it.

Princess Fu narrowed her eyes and asked in a slightly raised voice.

"Did father agree?"

"Not really. I persuaded him to go to the Spring Banquet first and then to the General's Mansion. Unfortunately, I don't plan to let him show up. The General's Mansion has never taken us seriously anyway. I just want to embarrass Xue Niang and let them have a taste of humiliation!"

Mrs. Wei was obviously very dissatisfied. There was not a single person in the Gu family that she liked, from the old to the young. So she was very angry and planned to make up for it through this matter.

After hearing these words, Princess Fu couldn't help but speak.

"Could it be that mother is overthinking? Perhaps the General's Mansion had no intention of inviting you and father from the beginning, so the Guo family used this as an excuse, calculating that you would not refuse the Spring Banquet at the Princess' Mansion?"

When she said this, Mrs. Wei was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said with a gloomy face.

"From what you said, there may be a deeper meaning behind this matter."

Princess Fu nodded and continued speaking along the lines of what Madam Wei said.
