Chapter 486: Second brother must avenge our Zhuzhu!

After Wei Shiqing and the others left, Nie Yuke felt a little distraught.

However, she quickly adjusted her mentality, finished the banquet with a smile, and asked people to send the guests away politely. Only then did she rush to her fifth brother's courtyard with some anxiety.

Nie Luming was cleaning his bow in the room. When he saw the girl come in, he was a little surprised: "What's the matter?"

Nie Yuke tightened her clasped hands and forced a smile: "...Is the Crown Prince cousin back?"

Nie Luming didn't stop wiping the bow and said, "I went back early."

Nie Yuke felt his palms getting sweaty: "...So, what did the prince cousin say?"

When this was mentioned, Nie Luming was a little confused: "Don't say that! I just praised Fusui Xiangjun a few times, saying that she is good at archery and I really want to play with her. My cousin suddenly turned cold and said that Fusui Xiangjun is very young and asked me to stay away from her and not to corrupt her???"

Nie Luming pointed at his nose and asked Nie Yuke in disbelief, "Will I bring bad luck to Sui Xiangjun? How could my cousin the Crown Prince think of me like that?"

Nie Yuke's face was blank and his head was buzzing.

Nie Luming then noticed his sister's expression and called out in surprise, "Ake?"

"Ake? What's wrong with you?"

Nie Yuke finally came back to his senses and forced a smile, his voice so tense that it made him shudder: "...I didn't expect that my cousin the Crown Prince would think so highly of Fusui Xiangjun."

Nie Luming also felt the same way, and was a little angry: "That's right! I just wanted to play with the little princess, but my cousin the prince was just like guarding against thieves. I am so wronged."

Nie Yuke couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he responded with a few words and left in a hurry with a pale face.

Nie Yuke went to look for her mother, the eldest lady of the Nie family.

There were guests at the Nie family's eldest lady's house. When Nie Yuke went there, the maid had just sent the guests away.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. The eldest lady of the Nie family naturally knew what her daughter was thinking. Seeing her daughter holding a handkerchief and looking upset as she walked into the house, the eldest lady of the Nie family sighed in worry and deliberately asked, "...Ake, do you know what the wife of the Earl of Zhongwu came here for?"

Nie Yuke looked at her mother.

The eldest lady of the Nie family continued to talk to herself: "…She came to ask us to help introduce the daughter of the wife of the Duke of Zhongwu to the Eastern Palace."

Nie Yuke accidentally broke the teacup: "Mom!"

The eldest lady of the Nie family sighed and waved her hand to let the maids go down.

She stepped forward and held Nie Yuke's hand, with a flash of pain in her eyes: "Ake, mother knows how you feel about your cousin the crown prince... But with our family background, and you being the crown prince's legitimate cousin, you can't just enter the East Palace as a concubine!... Or maybe the age difference between you and your cousin the crown prince is too big, otherwise, how could the position of crown princess fall into the hands of an orphan girl!"

Nie Yuke fell into the arms of the eldest lady of the Nie family and cried in despair: "Mother, Mu Rujun has been in the Eastern Palace for five years and has no children. For the sake of the country, why don't you just divorce Mu Rujun instead of marrying a concubine for him?"

Nie Yuke cried so hard that the eldest lady of the Nie family was heartbroken.

She knew that her daughter was venting her feelings. Mu Rujun had done nothing wrong except that she was infertile. It was not reasonable for a Crown Princess to be divorced so easily.

The eldest lady of the Nie family patted her daughter's back gently and let her vent her emotions.

After a while, seeing that her daughter's body had calmed down, the eldest lady of the Nie family asked softly, "...How was your gathering with the noble ladies today?"

It would have been fine if the eldest lady of the Nie family hadn't mentioned it. As soon as she mentioned it, Nie Yuke became excited again: "...Mother, the Crown Prince cousin was paying special attention to that Fusui Xiangjun today. I can feel that he treats Fusui Xiangjun differently!"

The eldest lady of the Nie family was shocked at once, and she also thought it was a bit ridiculous, so ridiculous that it was funny: "How is it possible? How old is Fusui Xiangjun..."

Nie Yuke was obviously not as calm and composed as before. Her face turned pale and she repeated with her lips slightly parted: "Different, I can feel it, different..."

The eldest lady of the Nie family is still hard to imagine.

Nie Yuke was very confused.

She knew from a young age that the prince cousin only had the orphan girl Mu Rujun in his heart. She almost grew up looking up to the prince Wei Shiqing.

I don't know when, her feelings towards her cousin the prince changed.

Nie Yuke knew that the prince cousin loved Mu Rujun very much, but she still longed to be the exception in the prince cousin's heart.

However, she hadn't waited for her exception yet, but today she saw that her cousin the Crown Prince treated a young girl differently.

Nie Yuke felt that he was extremely well-mannered because he did not go crazy on the spot!

"Yu Xingxing——" Nie Yuke murmured.

…

"Yu Xingxing!"

Yu Mingzhu returned to the Duke of Xin's mansion. When no one was around, she clenched her hands and recited the name fiercely.

"Zhuzhu!"

Yu Chongen rushed into Yu Mingzhu's yard excitedly and shouted Yu Mingzhu's name from a distance.

Yu Mingzhu opened the door and called out "Second brother" with red eyes.

Yu Chongen was stunned for a moment, and noticed Yu Mingzhu's eyes: "Zhuzhu, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red?"

Yu Mingzhu forced a smile: "Second brother, I'm fine." She looked like she didn't want to talk any more and didn't want Yu Chongen to worry about her. Yu Chongen became more concerned instead. He pulled Yu Mingzhu's wrist and angrily asked Jinshu beside him: "You said! Your young lady went to Cheng'en Mansion today, right? But did anyone bully her there?"

Jinshu was filled with righteous indignation: "Second Young Master! It's Yu Xingxing from the Zhenxi General's Mansion!... She relied on her title of Lady of the Country to look down on others. Wearing the pearl hairpins given by the Empress, she was extremely arrogant. What else did she say? Our young lady's name contains the word mingzhu, so can't they wear pearl jewelry?"

Yu Mingzhu shouted, "Jinshu! Did I teach you to gossip?"

Jinshu said aggrievedly, "Miss! You are too kind and easy to talk to, so people bully you openly or secretly! I feel so wronged for you!"

Yu Chongen was furious when he heard Jinshu's description: "Yu Xingxing looks well behaved, but how could she be so mean! She even bullied my Zhuzhu like this!"

Yu Chongen was so angry that he walked around the yard, racking his brains to think of how to vent his anger on Yu Mingzhu.

Even though the other party was hateful, she was still a little girl. He couldn't just pick up the little girl and beat her up!

Damn!

Yu Chongen suddenly thought of something and clapped his hands fiercely: "That's right! I remember, I heard Wei Zihang say earlier that their Prince's Mansion sent an invitation to Fu Sui Xiangjun, inviting her to the mansion for a banquet and fun!"

Yu Mingzhu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but she concealed it very well, with only a hint of confusion on her face: "Jiping County Prince's Mansion?... Second brother, I remember that the second lady of Jiping County Prince's Mansion seemed to be very nice to you..."

Yu Chongen's face flashed with discomfort, and he coughed: "Don't worry about Zhuzhu. Anyway, Second Brother must vent this anger for our Zhuzhu! It will also teach that little girl not to be so mean!"
