Chapter 203 Madam Du wants to see Princess Rong
"Yes! My cousin is such a great doctor, she will definitely be able to cure the little prince." Jiang Shiyun said excitedly: "Let's go to our grandfather and tell him about this and ask him to take us into the palace."
"Don't worry, cousin." Cheng Qingmeng held her back. "This is a matter of state affairs, so I can't tell my grandfather directly. After all, this is a dream I had, and it hasn't happened yet. I can't easily tell it, as it can easily lead to disaster."
"What should we do then?"
"In my dream, it will take several years for Prince Xiao to become emperor, which is plenty of time for us." Cheng Qingmeng turned to Song Yu and said, "Tomorrow morning, cousin, take us to give acupuncture to grandmother and check grandfather's pulse. My cousin and I have been saying that you are a great doctor and want to learn from you. If we bring up the little prince, grandfather will definitely want you to treat him."
Song Yu nodded, "Then tomorrow you two should act more realistically. Grandfather is so smart, don't let him see through the flaws."
"Don't worry, I won't let Grandfather see any flaws."
Song Yu sent Cheng Qingmeng and Jiang Shiyun away and went to Jiang Yunwan's room.
"Daddy and Mommy."
Jiang Yunwan raised her eyebrows: "Have you sisters finished your private conversation?"
Song Yu smiled and nodded, "Princess Anyang saw my true appearance today and kept staring at my face. I felt embarrassed."
Song Mingen said, "Princess Anyang must have known that you resembled the Marquis' wife. Did she ask you anything?"
"He didn't ask anything. He just stared at my face while savoring the cakes, never moving his eyes away. Oh, by the way, mother, when we were about to leave, Prince Rui brought Prince Cheng over to taste the peony fruit cake. Prince Cheng ate most of it, but he seemed to be looking at me a little strangely. I can't explain why."
Jiang Yunwan glanced at Song Mingen and smiled. "You look like your biological mother, so the two princes will naturally find it a little strange. Speaking of which, what if the Du family keeps Du Zhihuan after seven days and it's difficult to get the engagement back?"
Song Mingen asked, "If the Du family really did this, would you be sad?"
"There's nothing to be sad about. I have you guys." Song Yu said coquettishly to the two of them, "You will always love me and spoil me, right?"
"Of course, we are your parents and will always spoil you."
Song Yu continued, "I still have grandparents, cousins, and... Anyway, I have family. Eh, enough talking, I need to go back to bed. I haven't lain down all day, you guys should go to bed early too."
Jiang Yunwan watched the quickly disappearing figure and said, "Sister Yu may say she's not sad, but she must be feeling bad inside. Her biological parents can't bear to part with the daughter of their enemy..."
"We should dote on her even more from now on. Why did the King Cheng that Sister Yu mentioned just now like to eat peony fruit cake so much?"
Jiang Yunwan said, "King Cheng, he's just a foodie. He always tries a few bites of special delicacies. You'll know when you meet him in the future. By the way, I haven't personally cooked your favorite sweet and sour fish for you since you came to Beijing for so long. I'll make it for you tomorrow."
"You are pregnant and cannot enter the kitchen. Your husband will make you steamed prawns tomorrow."
After Song Mingen coaxed Jiang Yunwan to sleep, he arranged for someone to investigate King Cheng.
Wanwan was a noble lady back then, so she must have been engaged early on.
Song Yu returned to her room, and Bai Lan closed the door. "Miss, even if your biological parents are reluctant to let Du Zhihuan leave, the Du family is still yours and you must have your yard. If you don't go back to live there, won't she be very happy?"
Song Yu thought for a moment and said, "You are right. The Du family really needs my yard. My grandmother is old, so I still want to stay there for a few days to accompany her."
"Grandmother? Are you accepting Madam Du now?"
Song Yu said: "She is indeed my grandmother."
Du Mansion
"Mother, I've arranged for someone to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and apply for sick leave for Wu Lingheng. I'll let him live for a few more days."
Du Yeshi: "I remember Wu Lingheng had a son, Wu Han, who was studying at the Imperial College?"
Du Henian: "Yes, that's right."
Du Ye asked again, "How many days will the Imperial College be closed for classes?"
"There are still three days left. Could it be that mother doesn't want the child to continue studying?"
Du Ye glared at him. "Do you think he still has a chance to study? Are you planning to bring Wu Han into the mansion to raise him as a son and a brother to Zhihuan?"
"How is that possible?" Du Henian was shocked. "Wu Lingheng is so cruel and ruthless. His son must have taken after him."
Du Ye snorted coldly, "Zhihuan will definitely follow him!"
"No! Huanhuan has been with us since she was little. She's kind and filial, and her character and behavior are all like those of our Du family. She often does charity work, giving porridge to the poor and arranging for Yunque to provide free medical treatment and medicine to the needy. Last time, when the imperial court raised funds for military pay, Huanhuan actively participated and took out all the private money she had saved for many years. Mother knows this."
Du Ye nodded. "I hope she stays like this. In seven days, it won't just be Madam Jiang who'll come. Old Jiang might come, too. The engagement must be returned to Sister Yu."
Du Henian: "The marriage process between Huanhuan and Prince Xiao is almost complete. They are just waiting for Huanhuan to come of age and marry him."
"I know, don't you want Sister Yu to return to her roots?"
"Of course I have to acknowledge her! She is my biological daughter."
"Then the engagement can't be delayed. I have to get it back from Sister Yu. Send a visiting card to Prince Rong's mansion tomorrow. I want to discuss this with Prince Rong's wife in person and see their reaction first..."
After Du Henian left, he went to Su Beiqing's room.
"Well, what does our mother say?"
Du Henian took a sip of tea before saying, "If Huanhuan wants to stay, the engagement must be returned to Sister Yu. Mother will discuss this with Princess Rong in person."
Su Beiqing looked conflicted. "Why wasn't I pregnant with two children back then? The engagement does say that it should be returned to Sister Yu, but Huanhuan and Prince Xiao have had a deep bond since childhood. What should she do now that the engagement is suddenly over? She's innocent, too."
Du Henian soothed him, "Don't worry, there's always a way to have the best of both worlds. No one here said that Huanhuan was in a much better mood after meeting Prince Xiao in the garden. It must be because of Prince Xiao's assurance. I bet Princess Rong would definitely not agree to a new daughter-in-law if she knew about this. Let's see the attitude of Prince Rong's Mansion first."
"Miss." Yunyan entered Du Zhihuan's inner room.
At this time, Du Zhihuan was lying on a recliner with the beauty sleeping cream developed by Yunque on her face.
"What did Grandma say?"
Yunyan: "The old lady will arrange for someone to send a visiting card to Prince Rong's mansion tomorrow. It seems that she wants to discuss the engagement with Prince Rong's wife in person."
Du Zhihuan sat up. "It seems that Grandmother is determined to return the engagement to Song Yu."
Yunyan, standing by, tried to comfort him, "Don't worry, young lady. Princess Rong likes you, but she might not agree to a new daughter-in-law. Today, it was the old lady who took off her mask. Song Yu never thought of coming to acknowledge her as a relative. Seven days from now, he will officially come. On that day, Elder Jiang and all the other Jiangs will come. The old lady will definitely make it clear to the Jiang family. If the Rong family is determined to accept you as their daughter-in-law, the Jiang family will have nothing to say. Besides, Prince Xiao's marriage is not something that can be changed at will. Otherwise, where will the royal family's reputation be?"
Du Zhihuan felt relieved. "Yunyan, where are Wu Lingheng and his mother?"
"The master temporarily placed them in the guest rooms in the front yard and assigned a large number of guards to guard them."
Du Zhihuan nodded: "Let's all go down and rest."
The next day.
When Song Yu opened his eyes, he saw Cheng Qingmeng and Jiang Shiyun.
"Good morning, cousin, hehe..."
"No, you two can't be that anxious, right?"
Her two cousins actually cared so much about her affairs.
Cheng Qingmeng walked over and pulled her up. "It's getting late, it's almost daybreak. Hurry up and wash and change clothes. Let's go to grandma's yard."
