Chapter 418 Yu girl must be her granddaughter-in-law
Song Yu had just finished breakfast when Chunhua hurried in with an anxious look on her face. "Miss, the doorman Dayong just said that Long Wu, the personal guard of Prince Xiao, has come and said that there is an auction at Fancui Building today. Prince Xiao wants to invite you to go with him. He will come to pick you up in half an incense stick."
Song Yu was surprised. "Shouldn't he have gone to meet Du Zhihuan quietly? If he calls me, how can I catch them having a secret meeting?"
Jiang Yunwan said, "There are a lot of people in Fancui Tower today. He could find an excuse to leave for a while and meet up with Du Zhihuan. Your presence would make it easier to catch them both in the act."
Song Yu stood up and said, "Then I'll go back and clean up first."
After Song Yu left, Jiang Yunwan went to the Orchid Garden and asked, "Mom, where is my dad?"
"Your father went to the palace."
Madam Jiang helped her sit in the soft chair. "I told you that Mother would go to Hibiscus Garden to talk to you. Why did you disobey and come to Orchid Garden again? You must not let anything happen to your health."
Jiang Yunwan: "It's still too early for me to give birth. Sister Yu takes my pulse every day. But Shushu may give birth prematurely at any time. I will go to the Cheng Mansion to see her later."
"You can't go! You can't leave the Jiang Mansion until the person behind the scenes confirms your identity! Hurry back to Furong Garden. I'll go to the Cheng Mansion now."
"Mom, don't be impatient. Wait until I finish. Shushu doesn't want to divorce and definitely doesn't want to make it public. Did Dad go to the palace to plead with the emperor?"
Madam Jiang said, "Cheng Xiao is now a marquis and has received an official title. He must have an explanation for not being able to report to the yamen in three months. Also, Shu Ge'er is still alive. The imperial edict was intended for him. The Emperor cannot be kept in the dark. Furthermore, we must carefully consider how Shu Ge'er can openly show up."
Jiang Yunwan said, "I'm here to talk about this. Cheng Zhang participated in the murder of Shushu last night. No matter what, we can't let her go! Let's deal with her first! She must have participated in the baby swap fourteen years ago. Another reason Shushu doesn't want to divorce is that she doesn't want outsiders to know that we were deceived by the Cheng family. So, let's make a fuss about Cheng Zhang and let Shuge'er show up in front of everyone. When we deal with Cheng Zhang, we will also remove the Cheng family's second master from his official position and drive the second wife out. As for Cheng Xiao and the concubine, let Shushu deal with them behind closed doors."
Madam Jiang frowned. "Wouldn't that be helping the Cheng family maintain their dignity? The Cheng family still has many members. If they rely on the Pingxi Marquisate to make a living, wouldn't they still be sucking blood from Shushu and Shuger? No! I'm going to the Cheng Mansion right now to persuade Shushu to cut ties with the Cheng family!"
When Old Madam Jiang arrived at the second gate, she asked Jiang Yunwan to return to Furong Garden.
Just as Nanny Gui and others escorted Old Madam Jiang to the hidden wall, Xiao Chengqian was respectfully invited in by the doorman Dayong.
"Junior Cheng Qian greets Old Madam Jiang."
"Prince Xiao, please don't be so polite." Old Madam Jiang looked at his face lovingly. "Why did you come to the mansion today?"
Xiao Chengqian said, "I accompanied Sister Yu to the Gu family auction last time, and she loved it. There's an auction at Fancui Building today, and I came here specially to pick her up. Are you leaving the house?"
Madam Jiang nodded and said, "I'm going to the Cheng Mansion to see my little daughter. Please wait a moment. Sister Yu should be out soon. I'll go first."
"Okay!" Xiao Chengqian responded while holding onto Madam Jiang's arms and personally helped her onto the carriage.
The carriage had gone a long way when Old Madam Jiang said to Nanny Gui, "Arrange for someone to go to the Gu family privately to find out if anyone in the Gu family gave birth on the day the Concubine Dowager gave birth to Prince Rong. I'll give you three days."
"Good old lady."
Old Madam Jiang still tends to believe that Song Mingen is their biological son.
If this is true, then Wanwan is the destined royal daughter-in-law.
Xiao Chengqian waited for less than half a minute before Song Yu, wearing delicate makeup, led Bai Lan and others to the front yard.
Song Yu looked at Xiao Chengqian with joy, "Brother Crown Prince, let's go over there."
Xiao Chengqian smiled and said, "Your cousin didn't come with you?"
"She's accompanying my cousin Meng. Luckily, she's not here, otherwise..." Song Yu blushed slightly, looking a little shy. "I can't accompany my brother, the prince, to take pictures of the collection today. Let's go quickly."
After Song Yu finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly and quickly walked out of the Jiang Mansion gate in front of Xiao Chengqian.
Xiao Chengqian pursed his lips. Song Yu was not only fond of him, but also wanted to meet him alone.
Xiao Chengqian was in a good mood and his plans for the day after tomorrow would be much more successful.
"Sister Yu, slow down and wait for me." Xiao Chengqian quickly caught up with her and helped her get on the carriage.
Bai Lan saw Xiao Chengqian board the carriage in front and whispered, "Prince Xiao must think you're completely captivated by him. Just now, he looked so happy. Could it be that he's also captivated by you?"
Song Yu frowned, "Don't worry, he's still firmly tied to Du Zhihuan. You guys need to keep a close eye on him. We have to find evidence to cancel the engagement today."
At the same time, Xiao Yanxu and his wife's carriage stopped steadily across the street from Fancui Building.
The two men got off the carriage, wearing masks and veils as Song Mingen had expected.
The two paid the entrance fee and went to a private room on the second floor, closest to the auction table, on the front left.
As soon as Gu Yining sat down, she saw the eldest princess Xiao Zhenshu and Mu Chuqing walking into the first floor lobby hand in hand. Gu Yining quickly retracted her head and lowered her lifted veil.
"Don't be afraid." Xiao Yanxu whispered in her ear, "Even without the veil, she wouldn't be able to recognize you or me. Unless your eldest brother and my eldest brother come, she won't be able to tell unless she looks closely."
"Oh, you're right, I was just scaring myself."
While the two were talking, Xiao Zhenshu and her daughter went upstairs.
"Mom, I didn't book the third floor. It's too high and I can't see clearly. I booked the second floor."
Mu Chuqing pulled Xiao Zhenshu to the private room next to the couple. The private rooms were separated by flower pots and were not soundproof.
Mu Chuqing sat down by the window as soon as she came in, "Mother, I must take a picture of Empress Jiang Yu of the Li Dynasty today."
Xiao Zhenshu: "It's difficult. Your princess aunts might come to bid today."
"Mother is their eldest sister, how dare they compete with you for her?"
"Even though your mother is the eldest sister, she can't use her status to bully others. Otherwise, it will hurt the harmony between the sisters. Besides, not only your aunt is here, but also many of my aunts. I heard that Concubine Qing has also arranged for people to come. And, that headgear may not be real... Hey, look, they are here."
Mu Chuqing looked down and saw eight great-aunts dressed relatively modestly coming in from the first floor. A moment later, seven aunts came in one after another, each one more dignified than the other.
Mu Chuqing stopped talking. She had many relatives on the princess mother's side.
Gu Yining didn't expect that Queen Jiang Yu's headgear from the Li Dynasty was so popular.
"Ah Xu." Gu Yining lowered her voice very low, "The Pillow Book said that Concubine Qing also sent people. It seems that she is still thinking about that position."
Xiao Yanxu snorted, "Big brother won't agree. She has been in charge of the family for more than 30 years. What's the difference between her and the legal wife? Her wishful thinking is just wishful thinking."
Gu Yining whispered again, "Sister-in-law's illness hasn't been cured in these years, right?"
Xiao Yanxu: "Yu girl should have a way, maybe Yu girl has already treated my sister-in-law."
As soon as the words fell, Mu Chuqing's surprised voice came to her ears, "Mother, why did Sister Yu come with her cousin?"
Gu Yining and Xiao Yanxu leaned out the window and looked down.
"Sister Yu, there are a lot of people here today, be careful and walk this way."
Song Yu smiled and nodded, then walked towards the stairs. Xiao Chengqian followed closely behind him, carefully protecting him, fearing that Song Yu would get bumped or hurt.
Seeing this, Gu Yining pursed her lips, a smile appeared in the corner of her eyes, "Gan'er is still very close to Yu girl."
"Of course, Yu girl is her fiancée."
"Mother! Sister Yu seems to be getting along better and better with my cousin. Did Big Brother just meet Sister Yu last time? Eh, why didn't he think of expressing his feelings to Sister Yu? Sister Yu must be my sister-in-law! I want..."
"Shh!"
Xiao Zhenshu quickly blocked her mouth with some tea.
Gu Yining next door thought of Mu Jingxing's face and frowned unconsciously.
Girl Yu must not be abducted by the Mu family!
Yu girl must be her granddaughter-in-law.
"Ah Xu!" Gu Yining called out, and then wrote on the tea table: "Arrange someone to keep an eye on the Mu brothers and sisters to prevent them from kidnapping Yu girl by any means necessary."
