Seeing the farce over, the people no longer wanted to meddle in other people's business and left the Prince's Mansion one after another.
In the blink of an eye, only Gu Yunni and a few others were left in front of the Prince's Mansion.
Sheng Mingyu's gaze could not be ignored by Marquis Changping.
"My Lord, you'd better take care of yourself. This time, it's not me who's complaining, but His Majesty who's personally issued an edict to reprimand you. If you displease His Majesty again, your mansion will be in jeopardy. I wonder if the old man in the mansion will get up from the ground and beat you to death?"
There was unconcealed mockery in his tone, and the Marquis of Changping wished he could find a place to hide.
The position of the Marquis can be lost for anything, whether it is national justice or court affairs.
But if he lost it because of his little daughter, it would be too shameful and he couldn't accept it!
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will take good care of my family and will not let Your Highness down."
"That's good."
Seeing that Marquis Changping was sensible, Sheng Mingyu nodded and said no more.
Just as she was about to leave with Gu Yunni, she sarcastically said, "My Lord, don't forget to take care of the two women around you. You're a grown man, but you let women play around with you. Don't you feel uncomfortable? I remember when I was in the Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis was quite smart. Why is he like this now?"
She said this just to sow discord, and without waiting for Changping Mansion's reply, she followed Sheng Mingyu into the mansion.
The door of the mansion slammed shut in front of them, leaving them covered in dust.
"Dad, look! My sister really doesn't take you seriously. You were still kneeling outside the door, and she just left without saying anything!"
"Yeah, I don't know how to teach this child? He used to be well-behaved in the mansion, but how come he became like this after coming to the prince's mansion?"
Kou Mingxue and Madam Hou didn't learn a lesson at all. As soon as Gu Yunni left, they started to say bad things about her.
Marquis Changping's face turned pale and he glared at them.
"If you two don't want to leave, just continue kneeling in front of the Prince's Mansion, and you don't have to go back to the Marquis' Mansion anymore."
"My Lord!"
Marquis Changping got into the carriage with his son without saying a word and asked the driver to leave.
By the time Marquis Changping and Kou Mingxue reacted, the carriage was no longer in sight, and only then did they become anxious.
"Mother, what should we do? We can't just walk back. The Marquis's Mansion is not close to the Prince's Mansion."
Kou Mingxue frowned, her tone full of dissatisfaction.
Even when she was in the Gu family before, she had never suffered such grievances!
"What else can you do if you don't walk back? Can't you see that the carriage has gone so far? Let's go quickly."
The wife of the Marquis of Changping also frowned, but had to accept her fate.
She naturally knew why the Marquis of Changping had such a big reaction? It was because of the imperial edict and Gu Yunni's provocative words!
"Mom, are we just going to let that little bitch go? I don't accept that!"
Kou Mingxue stamped her feet, very angry.
Seeing her daughter like this, Lady Changping Hou sighed deeply and patted her back to comfort her.
"Don't worry, mother knows how much you've suffered, and she will definitely get back at you. This little bitch is just being arrogant now, but when she marries into the prince's mansion and concubines are brought in one after another, it won't be too late to deal with her then."
There was hatred in the eyes of the wife of the Marquis of Changping, and Kou Mingxue could only nod in agreement.
All her family members are gone, what can she do there alone?
When there was no one in front of the Prince's Mansion, their conversation was heard by Gu Yunni truthfully.
"She's really stupid. Even at this time, she still wants to attack me. I don't know how she got to the position of madam. It's a good thing that those concubines in the Marquis of Changping's mansion are stupid."
Gu Yunni curled up a sarcastic smile and didn't take these people seriously at all.
Qing'er was filled with righteous indignation and cursed angrily.
"Princess, you've been too kind to the Marquis of Changping and his family. If I were to ask you, you could just attack the Marquis's residence directly, so they wouldn't dare to act so arrogantly in the future, and you wouldn't have to live a restless life!"
"Alright! Let's be merciful when we can. What's more, the Marquis' Mansion belongs to the royal family. If we make trouble at the Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid the emperor won't tolerate it."
Gu Yunni looked disapproving.
Qing'er quickly shut up and didn't dare to say anything more.
Don’t be fooled by Gu Yunni’s seemingly good temper, she is a man of her word. If you continue to complain, I’m afraid she will get angry.
Kou Yun'an felt the anger of the Marquis of Changping and did not dare to express his opinion seriously, so he could only mutter in a low voice.
"Dad, are we just going to leave like this? What about Mother and Sister? Should we let them walk back? It's a long way to go, and Mother and Sister have been spoiled since they were little. Won't they hurt their feet?"
"Yun'an, this is all for your own good. Look at the behavior of your mother and sister. If you continue to displease His Majesty, you will lose your title in the Marquisate. How will you live in the future? It doesn't matter to me, but what about you?"
Marquis Changping looked disapproving, but since the person in front of him was his only son, he had to explain the reason in detail.
"Of course, I know that my mother and sister have done many absurd things, but in the end, they are still family. My mother gave birth to me and raised me. How could I abandon her?"
Kou Yun'an is good at acting. Although he doesn't like these two women in his heart, he won't say it openly. It doesn't feel good to be burdened by filial piety.
"Father knows that you are filial, but there must be a limit to filial piety. If your mother does something wrong, you should teach her a lesson. You can't just pamper her blindly, otherwise you will have to bear the consequences of future troubles."
Marquis Changping was moved and patted Kou Yun'an on the shoulder to comfort him.
In a corner where Marquis Changping couldn't see, Kou Yun'an curled up a sarcastic smile.
If it weren't for the title of Marquis, he would not be willing to humble himself in front of Marquis Changping. All the people in this Marquis's family are stupid.
"But the Crown Prince's wife didn't return to the Marquis' Mansion this time. How can I treat my illness? My son has been getting weaker and weaker recently. I don't think he can hold on for much longer. I also can't explain to the Seventh Prince."
Kou Yun'an looked heartbroken and stopped talking about the two women. Instead, he turned to serious matters.
Speaking of this, Marquis Changping felt a headache and covered his forehead with his hands, grimacing.
"What else can I do? With His Majesty and the Crown Prince backing me up, I'm sure I won't be able to recapture him. I can only go and explain to him. He might not necessarily forgive me, but it's your health that's the problem..."
His eyes were filled with worry.
Du Changming was never within his consideration, so working for him this time was just a matter of course.
The main concern is Kou Yunan’s health. He doesn’t want to have no one to succeed him.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Father. I'm afraid the Seventh Prince will lose his temper again. Father, you should make some preparations before you go. He's been getting more and more crazy lately. Who knows what he'll do?"
Kou Yun'an spoke in a gentle tone and looked worried, which touched the Marquis of Changping.
Among his children, Kou Yunan is the one who gives him the least worry.
"Don't worry." Marquis Changping patted Kou Yun'an on the shoulder, and the father and son said no more.
