Chapter 317: The wealthy marquis fishes, and the greedy take the bait
Mother You looked at Princess Yuyan who had just left her there, and walked away dazed, feeling that things seemed to be out of control.
She has been serving the Grand Princess all along, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has watched Princess Yuyan grow up.
Mother You knew very well what kind of personality Princess Yuyan had.
Even though Princess Yuyan was already married, she still obeyed the Grand Princess's words as if they were imperial decrees. This was a habit she had developed since she was a child, accustomed to following her mother, the Grand Princess's instructions.
Well-behaved, sensible, and not noisy.
But the current Princess Yuyan makes Mother You feel unfamiliar. This is not the Princess Yuyan she knows.
"No, this is not right!"
Mother You quickly turned around and was about to catch up with Princess Yuyan.
However, Mother Sun suddenly appeared at the door and stopped Mother You.
"Mother You, the princess is tired, please don't bother her anymore!"
Mother Sun looked calm and stopped Mother You decisively.
"Mother Sun, do you know what you are doing?"
"You can't afford to delay the Grand Princess's affairs!"
Mother You looked at Mother Sun with a cold face, "Don't think that now that you're with the princess, I can't do anything to you. You have to understand that if I say a few words to His Highness, you're finished!"
"Mother You is right, but the princess doesn't want to see you now, so I can only do as she says."
Mother Sun still looked unmoved.
Mother You was so angry that she stamped her feet, but there was nothing she could do.
In the past, she had always been at odds with Mother Sun.
Later, she gained power in front of the Grand Princess, and began to exclude and suppress Mother Sun little by little, eventually forcing Mother Sun to no longer be able to stay with the Grand Princess. She had to find an opportunity when Princess Yuyan got married, and became Princess Yuyan's dowry mother, leaving the Grand Princess's side.
Just as Mother You said, if Mother You tried to please the Grand Princess, there was a 99% chance that she would be disliked by Princess Yuyan.
But even so, as long as she was not driven away from Princess Yuyan, she had to do what she should do.
"You, just be stubborn!"
The reason why You's mother and Sun's mother don't get along is because Sun's mother likes to be serious. Sometimes there are things that can be turned a blind eye, but Sun's mother likes to be serious.
This also resulted in Mother Sun having no allies around the Grand Princess.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Mother You to squeeze out Mother Sun.
Mother You finally left in anger.
But she did not return to the capital immediately. Instead, she sent the little maid who was traveling with her back to the capital to report the news to the Grand Princess, while she stayed in Anshun County.
I plan to wait for Princess Yuyan's horse and children to arrive before trying to persuade Princess Yuyan.
…
Sanhe Town.
Zhao's Inn.
Zhao Bingzhao, the second master Zhao, who has become a wealthy marquis, still lives here.
As a first-rank marquis in the Tang Dynasty, he didn't even have a marquisate. This was unprecedented.
Zhao Rui has mentioned this matter to Zhao Bingzhao more than once, but Zhao Bingzhao just shrugged his shoulders and directly retorted, "I have no money."
Could the second master of the Zhao family be someone who is short of money?
Even without the Zhao family's financial support, he still had a share in the businesses and properties of his apprentices, not to mention the dowry that belonged to his sister that he had just given away.
"Master, as you expected, the Grand Princess has received the news and has sent her personal assistant, Mother You, to Anshun County to deliver a letter to Princess Yuyan!"
"Can a dog ever stop eating shit?"
Zhao Bingzhao drank his tea calmly.
"Well, it seems that Princess Yuyan's ideas differ from those of the Grand Princess."
"Oh? A good shoot has grown from a bad bamboo?"
Zhao Bingzhao couldn't help but look at Zhao Rui in surprise, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"It seems that Princess Yuyan doesn't want to compete with Lord Defu for the dowry, but the Grand Princess is very interested in it."
"Master, tell me, what is going on in the head of this eldest princess?"
"In terms of wealth, she is definitely not the richest."
"But when it comes to power, influence, and wealth, the eldest princess is definitely one of the most famous people in the world. With such status and position, is it necessary for her to plot against the eldest lady's dowry?"
"Isn't the way you eat really ugly?"
Zhao Rui really couldn't understand how such a high-ranking person could have such an ugly side.
Zhao Bingzhao chuckled and said, "Why else? Why do you think she married Xu Shuo? You don't think that he and Xu Shuo are a hero-saving-beauty plot, and the beauty gives herself to him, do you?"
"Isn't it?"
That’s exactly what Zhao Rui thought.
After all, this matter had been circulating in the capital at the beginning. Even until now, many people would say that a beauty is a match for a hero when talking about Marquis Dingbei and the Grand Princess.
Similarly, the evaluation of the eldest princess is also extremely high.
They say she is both virtuous and talented, and is a model of a royal princess.
Zhao Bingzhao raised his hand and slapped Zhao Rui. "How many times have I told you that when judging people and things, don't be swayed by rumors. The words spread by the people rarely reflect their own opinions."
“Often, a lot of people say something, and then others will follow suit and say and do something.”
"As a human being, you must have your own judgment!"
Zhao Bingzhao took the opportunity to teach Zhao Rui a lesson.
"By the way, where are Cheshire Horse and the others? How long will it take to reach Anshun County?"
No longer mentioning the Grand Princess, Zhao Bingzhao turned to ask about Princess Yuyan's horseman Chai Wei.
Chai Wei, born into the direct line of the Chai family, is the youngest son of the head of the Chai family.
The reason why the eldest princess chose Chai Wei as the prince consort of Princess Yuyan was that she needed a son-in-law who could move her daughter, not think she was too ugly, and who was obedient to her and could be controlled.
"Master, according to the speed of Cheshire Horse and his group, they will definitely reach the county town in two days."
Zhao Rui gave the answer quickly.
These are all trivial matters. His subordinates have been keeping an eye on it. Every two hours or so, a carrier pigeon will come to report the movements of the county horseman Chai Wei.
"Then keep a close eye on it. When the Cheshire Horse arrives, I'll come over to have a chat!"
Zhao Bingzhao waved his hand casually, sent Zhao Rui away, and then began to close his eyes and rest again.
"Master, should we reveal these things to Xiao Yilang?"
Zhao Rui spoke softly.
Zhao Bingzhao chuckled and said, "That's not necessary. Once Princess Yuyan makes a decision, if it's a good one, she'll naturally go and explain it to my nephew. If it's a bad decision, she doesn't need to explain it, because my nephew will find out sooner or later."
"Let's continue fishing."
"The rich and powerful fish, and the greedy take the bait!"
Chapter 2: I'm a little sleepy, so I decided to take a nap. I haven't caught any bugs yet, so thank you all for your help. Finally, I'll continue to ask for monthly tickets! Let me take a short break and come back to fight again!
