She wanted to shake off the hem of her skirt that was being grabbed by Madam Du, but she saw that Madam Du didn't move at all. Madam Du could only glare at the two of them fiercely, "The eldest brother's family is really great, very good. Now they don't even take me, their mother, seriously. They are hoping that I will die soon!"
Marquis Yong'an's expression suddenly changed. He quickly stood up and knelt down with a thud.
Zhao Yunzhu just watched the show quietly from the side. She raised her hand and casually brushed the folds on her skirt in front of her.
"Mother, I really don't mean to force you to die. I just hope you won't force me to be adopted this year."
Even if Marquis Yong'an knelt in the hall, he would not retreat even a single step when his own interests were at stake.
Old Madam Du snorted coldly and turned her face away, not looking at the eldest couple.
Seeing that he couldn't convince his mother at all, Marquis Yong'an felt a little disappointed.
He sighed deeply, slowly stood up and sat back in his seat.
Seeing this, Mrs. Du also stood up, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and walked to her seat and sat down.
Mrs. Du frowned, her mind heavy. She was not in a position to interrupt today and was secretly angry that the Second Master happened to be away from home today and there was no one to make decisions.
"Mother, Yunzhu, in the final analysis, it was my husband and I who made the decision for Ming'an. He was formally married to the Zhao family as the Crown Prince's Consort. Your mother divorced him without my knowledge, so it doesn't count!"
"Boss, I think you're crazy. What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to die, don't bring disaster to our ancestors' legacy!"
Madam Du Laohong scolded him angrily. Marquis Yong'an raised his lips and smiled with a hint of self-mockery. "Mother, if you continue to force me, I will go to the palace and let the emperor make the decision. Even if Yunzhu becomes the Ninth Prince's concubine, I am not afraid."
Marquis Yong'an's attitude was firm.
"Crazy, I think you are really crazy!"
Madam Du slammed her hands on the table repeatedly, her eyes full of disappointment.
After hearing this, Zhao Yunzhu finally understood.
The Yong'an Marquis and his wife had a rift with Old Lady Du over the position of Crown Prince.
Seeing that Madam Du refused to give in, the Yong'an Marquis and his wife thought of her and brought up her past status.
This move left Mrs. Du with no solution.
She thought about how Madam Du had dared to intercept her in front of Empress Liu, and now she was being used, so she decided to just consider it as repaying her kindness.
She said nothing and had no opinion.
"Boss, I'm putting this on hold today. If you insist on doing this, I'll hang myself in the ancestral hall."
Madam Du stood up suddenly, said something coldly, then turned around and left without looking back.
It all happened too suddenly.
The Yong'an Marquis and his wife were completely stunned.
"Mother-in-law..."
Mrs. Du quickly got up and chased after him.
Marquis Yong'an looked at his mother's leaving back, standing there in a daze for a long time without coming to his senses.
"My Lord, Madam, I will take my leave now."
Zhao Yunzhu stood up and left to avoid suspicion, but the Yong'an Marquis and his wife did not stop him.
"Miss, are we going back now?"
Aunt Hua asked suspiciously. Zhao Yunzhu thought for a moment and shook her head. "Let's not go back yet. The Marquis' Mansion didn't say they were going to chase us away."
If I go back and the palace gets the news, I will naturally come back.
She didn't want to go there right now.
After all, once you enter the palace, your life or death is unpredictable.
"But..." Nanny Hua was a little worried. After all, Yong'an Marquisate was not a good place.
But it seems that there is no better place in Chang'an than the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
The more Aunt Hua thought about it, the more troubled she became. She could only sigh helplessly.
Lamenting the difficult situation of his eldest daughter,
"Don't worry, Mammy. Everything will be fine."
Zhao Yunzhu's current mentality was much more relaxed. He didn't know what the Yong'an Marquis and his wife were planning behind the scenes before, but now that he knew, he felt much more relaxed.
At night, Zhao Yunzhu asked the guards who were guarding in the dark to go and find out the news.
She was now able to use the manpower left by Qin Zongzhi quite easily, and couldn't help but sigh for Qin Zongzhi in her heart.
Wait for the guards to send back the news.
The reason why the second branch of Yongan Marquis's Mansion was able to marry into the Liu family was because of a married aunt of the Liu family, who was also the niece of Empress Liu.
The third young lady of the Liu family was married and sent to the border two years ago. After her husband died in the battle, because he did not leave any children, her husband's family did not want to break off the marriage relationship with the Liu family, and they had thought about letting the third young lady Liu adopt a child.
Unfortunately, Miss Liu San's brother-in-law fell in love with this widowed sister-in-law.
Miss Liu San naturally refused to agree, but her husband's family wanted to force her into doing the job in order to make it a fait accompli.
However, no one expected that Miss Liu San would be so cruel that she actually ended her brother-in-law's life with a golden hairpin.
Miss Liu San's husband's family lost two sons at once. There was a rumor that Miss Liu San was unlucky. Her husband's family wanted to avenge their youngest son, but because of the Liu family behind Miss Liu San, they locked him up.
Miss Liu San's dowry risked her life to send the news back to Chang'an. When Empress Liu heard about it, she was furious and personally ordered people to bring Miss Liu San back to Chang'an.
When the second wife and husband of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion learned the news, Madam Du personally visited Madam Liu and extended an olive branch for the sake of her son's position as the crown prince. The Liu family was surprised to find that the crown prince's wife was in Chang'an as soon as they entered the house.
This was undoubtedly an excellent place, and Queen Liu was also satisfied, so the two families finalized the matter privately.
The second son of the wife became the crown prince. Yong'an Hou knew in his heart that this nephew was already an adult and lived with his family. How could this be considered a festival? It was almost like eating out the whole family.
Zhao Yunzhu lay on the table, fiddling with the candle wick with a hairpin. The water in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion was not shallow at all.
Miss Liu San has not arrived in Chang'an yet.
I haven't contacted Qin Zongzhi yet, and I don't know why he went to pick up the young general of the Liu family this time.
Since yesterday, no one has come to disturb Zhao Yunzhu, and her days have been particularly peaceful.
"Miss, Madam Du is really patient."
Nanny Hua brought the food into the room and told her the news she had heard.
"I heard that Second Madam Du went out with Old Madam Du to watch an opera."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Zhao Yunzhu walked over and sat down to eat. They had such an embarrassing commotion yesterday, and today these two people went out to watch a play. I'm afraid that watching the play is just a cover.
After dinner, she had nothing to do, so she thought of going out for a walk.
Aunt Hua and Linglong were accompanying her.
After all, I have lived in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion for three years and am very familiar with this mansion.
She didn't want to go to the front yard, she just wanted to stroll around the nearby yards. She didn't want to run into anyone from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
But the more you fear something, the more it will come.
"Second Master, the doctor said that I am over a month pregnant. Second Master, please think of a solution quickly. If things go on for too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it anymore."
"Don't be afraid. Wait a few days and I'll ask Mother to make you my aunt."
"But, I heard that the Second Madam wants to marry the Third Miss of the Liu Family to you as the Crown Prince's Consort..."
A faint sob came from behind the rockery.
