Chapter 309 No More Pretense



She met her grandmother and learned that her father had been promoted to a higher grade a few days ago.

Moreover, she also found that her grandmother had become noticeably bloated.

He was saying to her with a beaming smile: "General Duanmu of the princess's family is such a handsome man. He's already this age, but he hasn't even found a marriage yet. It's really worrying!" He spoke as if he was looking down on his own junior.

Wen Yu looked at the old lady and smiled without saying anything.

"Ayu, you said...your second uncle is getting married to the princess. If Jiaojiao marries Duanmu...wouldn't that be against the rules?"

She knew that this was against the rules, but that didn't mean she didn't want to break the rules.

Wen Yu nodded directly: "Yes. It's against the rules!"

"Oh." Mrs. Wen was obviously disappointed. "What a pity."

"It's nothing to regret. Although General Duanmu is a good man, haven't you heard about his deeds? Do you think my third sister can do it?" As he spoke, he looked for the Wen Jiao sisters in the crowd.

"Isn't there...the princess?" Old Madam Wen was still harboring evil intentions.

"Grandmother, if the princess could control him, she wouldn't send him away!"

"But what about Wenwan? She has a gentle personality..."

Wen Yu was shocked: "What are you talking about? Marrying the concubine of the Wen family to the princess's legitimate son? You might as well just slap the princess!" She almost laughed out of anger.

But Mrs. Wen still looked shrewd: "You don't know this! Let me tell you... The princess may feel guilty about Wen Jiao and the others. She often takes them to social events and asks reliable people to help them find a family. In fact... this is also true. After all, she owes the Wen family for marrying your second uncle..."

"Grandmother." Wen Yu said bluntly. "It is Uncle who should feel guilty, right? It is Uncle who owes the Wen family, right? Was Auntie driven out because of the princess's coercion? Wasn't it Uncle who made all these choices? Now, you see Uncle, dressed in fancy clothes and full of pride. Look over there..."

Wen Yu finally spotted Wen Jiao and Wen Wan in the crowd, following closely behind the princess. Wen Su didn't see them...

The two girls from the Wen family were dressed decently, smiling like flowers. "Are they sad at all? It's a happy situation for everyone, so what's there to talk about guilt and debt? That's it..." Wen Yu quickly covered her mouth.

Old Madam Wen understood what Wen Yu wanted to say next: "both in office and in power", and glared at her with great dissatisfaction, "Grandma is just chatting with you! You are not an outsider! Is there anything I can't tell you about my private matters?"

Wen Yu smiled and didn't take it seriously, "Another thing, grandma, it's also very inappropriate to entrust Wen Jiao's marriage to the princess."

"Why?" Old Madam Wen looked at Wen Yu suspiciously. What did she mean? Was she afraid that Jiaojiao would surpass her? "Don't you think about who the husband the princess chose for herself was? And who is the second husband she chose for herself now?

Ask around here, is there any lady who would say that she chooses her husband with eyes? She is a princess, she has a vision, she only wants to be in love with him and be happy together! She doesn't care about anything else! Is your Jiaojiao okay? "Wen Yu rolled her eyes.

"Oh, now that you mention it..." Old Madam Wen was also shocked. What if the princess chose a poor scholar for Wen Jiao? That would be bad. "Ayu, are there no young men like Qi Wu around you?"

Wen Yu did not respond. She was a little conflicted. She had hoped that her grandmother and second uncle would greatly offend the princess and Duanmu and be severely punished.

Now, although the princess is very selfish and Duanmu is very cruel, they act on impulse and are quite nice to me. If I let them experience embarrassment and pain because of my second uncle... that would be bad.

This matter is screwed...

Wen Jiao turned around and saw her grandmother and Wen Yu, smiled, and turned away again. She had no intention of currying favor with Wen Yu. Wen Yu smiled secretly, she really regarded herself as the princess's biological daughter! At this moment, Tan walked into the hall in panic, and Liu and Zhu followed behind in confusion.

Wen Yu saw it at a glance and said to Old Lady Wen, "Grandma, I have something to ask my mother-in-law."

"Go, go!" Old Mrs. Wen was thinking about something.

Wen Yu walked over and pulled Madam Qi who was talking to someone. Madam Qi turned around and looked at her mysterious expression, and understood what she meant.

So he ended the topic and moved inside calmly.

Just as she reached the door, she heard Tan's shrill voice inside: "Empress! You almost..." She swallowed the words "beat him to death" in her heart.

On a day like today, Tan wanted to cry but didn't dare. She knelt there, trembling with anger and worry.

"Are you sure? Are you saying Qi Yue was beaten by Duanmu Hui?!" The Queen wanted to be serious, but somehow she felt like laughing. "Someone, call Hui Duan in! Old lady, please get up and talk slowly."

Princess Huiduan is getting married, and she doesn't wear as plain clothes as before. The clothes that Zaiyun wants to make are carefully designed by Master Qing. They are elegant but not plain, bright but not fluttering, and very beautiful. And she is different from other women. She dances well on weekdays and has a lot of activities. She still has a thin waist in middle age. She is graceful and elegant, like a young girl.

When the queen saw this, she immediately covered her hungry stomach with her sleeves and became extremely angry.

Princess Huiduan stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, are you looking for Huiduan?"

Tan's legs became weak with anger and she sat down. Seeing these people smiling and not taking her and her grandson seriously at all, she felt so angry that she clenched her hands tightly.

The queen said angrily: "Huiduan, why does your son cause trouble as soon as he comes back? Don't just think about yourself all day long. After your son is born, you still need to teach him!"

"My queen, you made Huiduan confused. What trouble did he get into?" The princess really didn't know that her son had hit someone.

The Queen pointed at Tan and said, "He didn't give any explanation and just went up to beat up Qi Yue from the Zhenyuan Marquis family!"

Princess Huiduan looked at Tan, who was staring at her with hatred. But she still didn't understand what the Queen's tone was like. She sounded quite excited.

"My lady, when did it happen?"

The queen had just heard the beginning when she called her in, and she couldn't explain it for a moment. "Madam Qi, speak for yourself!"

Tan stared at Huiduan, her voice shrill, "Just now, General Duanmu really didn't say a word and went right up to him! The Emperor caught him red-handed! I want to ask the princess, how did the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion offend the princess's mansion that he would treat my grandson like this!"

After she finished speaking, she remembered: This princess is shameless enough to marry Wen Yu's second uncle! Was it Wen Yu who instigated her? That shouldn't be the case. She doesn't rely on anyone.

Princess Huiduan was not in a hurry at all. She had experienced too much. "This princess has nothing to do with the well water and river water of Zhenyuan Marquis. We have no hatred. Since the emperor arrested him personally, let's listen to his questions! This princess was not at the scene and can't answer any questions."

The Queen said, "Whatever the matter, you can't do it today! He has been away for so many years, and I thought he had changed for the better! But he has become even more arrogant!" This time, the Queen said the same thing as the Emperor. "It's up to you!" she added.

The princess didn't like what she heard, but she didn't care. "Your Majesty, please don't be angry! Why don't you ask someone to ask how he was beaten? Your Majesty, you led us to see..." She almost said the word "lively", "...The emperor interrogated, or wait for the emperor to come back?"

Her tone made Tan want to rush over and pull her hair! The Queen originally wanted to go and watch the fun, but she felt a little embarrassed: "What you said is true... Sit down! You, go and see what the Emperor says!" She ordered the female official.

Tan said to Liu, "You should go over there too and see how Yue'er is doing."

When Liu entered the room, she found out that her son had been beaten. She was extremely anxious. After paying her respects to the queen, she left in a hurry.

Zhu stared at the princess angrily, wanting to kill her.

Huiduan sensed her ill will, and he raised his guard, looking at her with contempt. Zhu…could not bear the pressure, and looked away.

Huiduan sneered in her heart: You are amazing! The Crown Princess had been sitting under the Queen, and seeing the Queen's look, she felt dissatisfied. She had forgotten the scandal caused by Jin Zi at the East Palace banquet. She was still watching the joke of the Queen hosting the palace banquet.

The queen looked at Huiduan with a sour look, thinking: Which woman doesn't want to be like her? "Huiduan, you are getting married soon, right?"

"My lady, it's almost done."

"Where does that person live in the capital?"

"In the west of the city. However, after getting married, we will still live in the Princess's Mansion!"

"Ah? You found a live-in son-in-law?" The queen was exaggeratedly surprised.

"..." The princess knew that the queen always spoke to her with malicious intent.

Outside, the news has spread.

The ladies whose children and grandchildren were beaten by Duanmu for no reason recalled the past and were so angry that their teeth ached. They all mentioned him, but none of them had a good tone.

It would be inappropriate for Madam Qi not to show up, so she took Wang, Wen Yu and Zhang Moqing in.

"Your Majesty!" They first paid their respects to the Queen.

The queen laughed at Huiduan and was in a good mood. She even smiled and said to Madam Qi and the others, "Sit down! Wait for the news from the emperor."

Tan was filled with malice and sat there gloomily. Her usual affability was gone. She acted as if she didn't notice Madam Qi and the others trying to greet her...

Are you guys here to laugh at me?! I'm always nice to you guys, but you guys don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is! Then just wait for me!

Starting from that master, then it was Xu, Qi Xiao, Qi Wu, Wen Yu, I killed them all one by one.

Just leave Cui behind and let her have a good taste of what it feels like!
