Chapter 464 Bringing Yang Xu
Du Zhihuan went back to Zhuohuayuan because she had to go to the bathroom urgently. She really had to go to the bathroom urgently. She stayed in the bathroom for half a minute and then came out to change her clothes.
"Miss, are you coming over now?"
"My stomach feels a little uncomfortable." Du Zhihuan sat on the couch, holding her stomach.
"Miss, are you having your period early?"
"No, it's cold. I might have caught a cold. I haven't slept well these past two days because of nightmares. I must be feeling unwell. I'll make some ginger tea as a precaution and drink it before going over."
"good."
After Bai Lan left, Du Zhihuan hurriedly took out a pen and paper and wrote a few lines.
If her brother-in-law came to talk to her later, she wouldn't have to send him a message.
If Song Yu really escaped back, she would definitely die.
I can only place my hopes on my brother.
Well, things get worse when your face changes.
She really regretted it, one wrong step led to another.
Du Zhihuan stuffed the note under the flowerpot by the window, left the room, and took Chunhua, Nuanyu and the other two to the medicinal field in the backyard.
Yunque, who was dressed as a maid, saw the person walking away, and quickly went to the window and took the note.
"The Du family actually rejected this marriage?" Xiao Hongyi was so angry when he learned about this that he slammed the table loudly.
"That's enough!" Xiao Yanxu scolded, "I'm not even that angry, why are you slapping so loudly? Doesn't the table hurt?"
"Father, the Jiang and Du families simply don't take Prince Rong's mansion seriously. How can we allow them to toy with us so easily? Where is the dignity of the royal family?"
Xiao Yanxu: "Girl Yu can't get married before she's 20. She's more likely to die a violent death. If she gets married early, her husband's family will suffer."
"You believe this?" Xiao Hongyi was speechless. His father had been wandering around for eighteen years and had become soft-hearted. He no longer had any royal dignity!
"Master Wuji always keeps his word. There's no way Jiang Yunwan is colluding with Master Wuji to deceive us. She spoke so confidently, so there can't be any lies. Now, go and comfort your mother, and your father will go to the small kitchen and make a few of her favorite dishes."
Xiao Hongyi took Fang Jinyue to Zhuang Liyue's room. Seeing that Zhuang Liyue had a sullen face and didn't speak, he quickly asked Fang Jinyue to take Cuiyun and others outside.
Cuiyun walked to the door and looked back at the mother and son.
Didn’t the Jiang family cancel the engagement?
It's not a secret, why can't I say it in front of them?
The Empress was also surprised that she was not allowed to get close to him after returning from Liaoji Restaurant.
She was clearly on guard against the young prince and his family of three before she came back, but now she is kissing them.
"Sister Cuiyun."
Cuiyun quickly closed the door and did not follow Fang Jinyue to the pavilion. Instead, she pulled her to the warm room opposite.
Cuiyun entered the warm room and together with the two big maids beside Gu Yining, she took Fang Jinyue aside to ask about the interesting things that happened in the palace in the past eighteen years.
Cuiyun saw that the two people around her were completely defenseless against Fang Jinyue, and thought that there was something wrong with the pastries she delivered yesterday afternoon.
Fortunately, she was careful not to eat it.
But I've tried the silver needle and it's not poisonous!
Something must have happened at Liao Ji Restaurant?
In the main house.
"Mother." Xiao Hongyi whispered, "Is it because the Jiang family discovered that you look like Song Mingen that they want to cancel the engagement?"
Zhuang Liyue recalled the Jiang family's expressions. "They saw that your father and I didn't seem to be acting strangely. Gu Wanqing wanted Jiang Yunwan's unborn child to call him Uncle Grandfather, but Old Jiang was very reluctant. Without saying a word, Old Jiang got furious and directly told them to cancel the engagement."
Xiao Hongyi narrowed his eyes. "Gu Wanqing thinks Song Mingen might be his son and wants to claim the baby in Jiang Yunwan's belly as his grandson. Elder Jiang's reaction is so strong. It's obvious that they think my uncle is Song Mingen's father and suspect he murdered him."
"No! The Jiang family must have noticed that Song Mingen looks like my current face, so they treated Gu Wanqing badly. They might suspect that you are Gu Wanqing's son."
Xiao Hongyi's eyes widened. "Is this... possible?"
"Why not? Don't forget that Song Mingen's ears look like mine, like Gu Yining, and even more like Gu Wanqing."
Xiao Hongyi's mind raced, "Then the Jiang family will definitely look for evidence of Gu Wanqing's substitution, but they won't find anything."
Zhuang Liyue pressed her eyebrows together. "No, they will find out who your biological mother is. They will definitely look for Gu Wanqing's sisters, but don't worry, they won't find anything."
"Will you check on your grandfather?"
"Don't worry, all the evidence is long gone and we won't find any clues. We've arranged for people to investigate the Jiang family. They must be investigating and secretly watching the Jiang family's movements. They won't easily come to identify them without clear evidence. After all, Song Mingen is already dead."
Xiao Hongyi said, "Didn't they say that the jade token disappeared? It must be in Jiang Yunwan's hands. If she brought the jade token to my house..."
"Gu Yining is under control now. If your father gives him more medicine, his mind will only become more confused. I am waiting for the Jiang family to come with the jade token. However, we must not wait for them to come. I will go to the palace tomorrow to implement the next plan."
Xiao Hongyi: "The little prince has been following our dietary regimen. He will be seriously ill in a few days."
Zhuang Liyue: "Noble Concubine Qing is very smart. If she hadn't been so vigilant all these years, the little prince would have died long ago. The dietary recipe might not have been used. I'll go to the palace tomorrow and make some arrangements..."
"Grandma." Xiao Chengqian knocked on the door and came in. "Grandson has a case to ask Father for advice."
"Go ahead, Ayi."
The father and son went to the study.
"You said that both the Du and Jiang families knew that Du Zhihuan was planning to harm Song Yu?"
Xiao Chengqian: "Yes, Huanhuan sent a message. We can't let Song Yu return to the capital alive, otherwise our families will know that we have joined forces with Huanhuan to murder the little prince."
Xiao Hongyi was remarkably calm upon hearing this. "Don't worry, Song Yu won't be able to come back. Even if she manages to escape, she'll have abandoned Huanhuan. She has no evidence to prove you're colluding with her. Also, she changed her face because she didn't want Song Yu to marry you. It's her own business, and you're completely unaware of it. Of course, she knows about the tunnels in Luming Mountain; she's been there many times."
Xiao Chengqian's eyes widened, "No!"
"What?" Xiao Hongyi looked at him angrily, "You want to ruin your future with her and have the entire Rong Prince's Mansion confiscated and exiled? Blame it on your soft-heartedness and your desire to keep a beautiful woman in your lap!"
"I..." Xiao Chengqian was in a dilemma. He didn't want to lose Huanhuan. "Then we need to hurry up and make this plan a success before the two families find out."
Xiao Hongyi looked at his son in front of him with some disappointment. He had ruined such a big thing for a woman. How could an emperor be so soft-hearted? It seemed that he had to do it again!
"Of course we have to speed up the process. If the truth is exposed, we'll have to abandon her. We need to write back and tell her that Song Yu won't be able to return to Beijing alive. We need to keep Huanhuan stable first. If she confesses to the Jiang family beforehand, we'll be doomed!"
"Prince, this is great news." Xiao Fei ran into the study excitedly.
Mu Jingxing was busy dealing with files and ignored him.
Xiao Fei also learned his lesson and said directly:
"The engagement between Miss Song Yu and Prince Xiao has failed and is void."
Mu Jingxing raised his eyes to look at him, "You're so bored that you went to the Du Mansion to sit in the corner?"
"No, I was busy investigating a case. I ran into Little Jiang and the Du brothers on the street, kidnapping someone and taking them to the Du Mansion. They should be arriving soon. Jiang Wu said the marriage didn't go through, and that the man was Du Zhihuan's uncle and had conspired with Du Zhihuan to cut off Miss Song's face. That's why I rushed back!"
Mu Jingxing's face changed drastically. He hurriedly got up, left the Dali Temple and rushed to Du's Mansion.
Du Zhixu didn't want to make it known to everyone, so when he was about to reach the Du Mansion, he covered Yang Xu's face with a tablecloth and entered the Du Mansion through the back door.
Jiang Guanchen said nothing when he saw this. The adopted daughter wanted to harm her biological daughter, and the Du family couldn't afford to lose face in this matter.
When Nanny Qiao saw someone coming, she hurriedly informed the inside of the house, opened the door, let the person in, and stood guard at the bottom of the steps at the door.
Seeing someone come in, Jiang Youya said impatiently, "Quickly remove the cloth from his face so we can take a closer look."
Du Henian and Su Beiqing turned their eyes away, not wanting to look at the man's appearance.
If this person really looks like Huanhuan, how would they feel?
Huanhuan was raised by them, how could she possibly harm their own daughter?
Du Zhihuan tightened the handkerchief in her hand, hoping that Song Yu and the others had caught the wrong person.
Du Zhihuan's heart died when the tablecloth was taken off.
It’s really Yang Xu!
