Chapter 1013: Public Opinion Prevails
The An family ruined the birthday party. Not only were the people in the palace angry, but the other guests were also furious.
Gu Jian rarely meets outsiders, and this opportunity is rare. The Du, Chang, and Yuan families were planning to have a good talk with the Duke of Fuguo, but unfortunately it was ruined by the An family.
As for other officials, they wanted to get closer to Xiao Yeyang. It was difficult to visit the palace, especially after Princess Xiao became pregnant, the palace stopped accepting visiting cards.
"One bad apple spoils the whole barrel!"
Princess Xiao was so angry at Madam An that she had a miscarriage. No matter how reluctant everyone was, they had to get up and say goodbye.
The Du, Chang and Yuan families walked together, talking about each other with some schadenfreude.
Lord Du: "The An family is truly arrogant. Relying on the support of Concubine An and the eldest prince, they think everyone will give them face. This time, they have seriously offended the Weiyuan Palace."
Not only did he send his concubine to seduce her, but he also had a direct dispute with Princess Xiao. I really don't know what the An family was thinking. Did they think they could do whatever they wanted with the support of Concubine An and the eldest prince?
Lord Chang shook his head and said, "After Noble Concubine An took charge of the harem, the old lady of the An family was flattered to the skies. I heard that when she first came to pay her respects, she wanted to pinch Princess Xiao."
Lord Yuan took over the conversation, "Prince Weiyuan is not one to swallow his anger. This time, Imperial Concubine An and the Crown Prince in the capital are going to have a headache."
The main courtyard of the palace.
"Don't worry, the child and I are fine!"
Daohua, who had just calmed Guo Ruomei down, saw Xiao Yeyang coming back in a panic and quickly explained, "I just saw that Madam An seemed to be trying to pretend to be faint, so I deliberately said she had a miscarriage."
Xiao Yeyang walked over and took a closer look at Daohua. Seeing that she looked rosy and energetic, he felt relieved. However, he still said disapprovingly, "Don't joke with yourself and the child in the future. If anything happens to you, even ten An families can't afford to compensate you."
Daohua nodded repeatedly and comforted Xiao Yeyang: "I'm just worried that we will be passive in public opinion. Although it was Madam An who was picking on us today, if she fainted in the palace, those who don't know the truth outside will definitely think it's our fault."
"Everyone sympathizes with the weak. Madam An is very old after all. By then, even the women present today might think that I'm wrong and that I made Madam An faint from anger."
"Besides, the An family has Concubine An and the eldest prince standing behind them. Even if we don't get involved in those messy things, we can't let others find an excuse to throw dirty water on us."
"We are far away from the capital. Even if the emperor's uncle values you, if people around him say too much bad things about us, I'm afraid it will affect the emperor's uncle's opinion of us."
Xiao Yeyang pulled Daohua to sit on the couch and said, "I'll take care of the outside matters. You just take good care of your baby and don't worry about anything." As he spoke, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
"The An family now dares to plot against the palace openly. If we don't show them how powerful we are, they will think we are easy to bully."
Old Madam An actually dared to ridicule his mother in public in his house. She was so outrageous!
Just then, Gu Jian came over.
"Master, why are you here?"
Gu Jian ignored Daohua, took her hand, and took her pulse. His gloomy face gradually improved, but he still looked at Daohua with dissatisfaction.
"What can I say to you? Don't you know that you're pregnant and shouldn't have too many emotional fluctuations? You were just lucky this time and nothing serious happened. If you act so recklessly next time, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
Daohua listened obediently. Today was her master's birthday, and she felt very guilty for what had happened. Now she didn't dare to refute at all.
After Gu Jian finished talking about Daohua, he glared at Xiao Yeyang and said, "And you, why do you have so many problems? Everyone keeps throwing themselves at you. Are you so popular?"
"From now on, you must be more serious when you are out there. If you encounter those pretty girls again, teach them a lesson. If you are ruthless enough, I don't think anyone will dare to mess with you."
The maid had not had time to tell Daohua that An Xin fell on Xiao Yeyang in public, so Daohua didn't know what happened in the theater.
But after hearing what Gu Jian said, she immediately understood and looked at Xiao Yeyang with a bad face: "What did Miss An do to you?"
Xiao Yeyang, who was caught in the crossfire, looked helpless: "What can I do? Your son stopped me before I could even make a move."
Daohua snorted, holding her waist and said, "I'm having a big gas. Tell it to the outside world and tell them that the An family is mad at me."
Going to her house openly to seduce her husband is intolerable!
Xiao Yeyang didn't want to let the An family go, so instead of stopping them, he ordered Defu: "Go to the Dusi and ask Doctor Ge to come to your house, and tell him..."
Gu Jian interrupted: "Just say I fainted from anger!"
Xiao Yeyang and Daohua: "." Uncle (Master) fainted from anger. This is a serious matter.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang not moving, Gu Jian looked unhappy: "What are you still standing there for? Go spread the news!"
Xiao Yeyang came back to his senses and waved his hand to let Defu do as Gu Jian said.
If what happened today was just Yi Yi's miscarriage, it wouldn't be a big deal as long as Yi Yi wasn't really in trouble. But my uncle fainted, and the matter was reported to the emperor by the Jinling Guard. The emperor will definitely make a note of it for the An family.
Although he was no longer in charge of the Jinling Guards, he still had his men in them. As soon as the An and Du families arrived in Xiliang, they were targeted by the Jinling Guards.
He knew everything these families had done in Xiliang.
Thinking of An Zhixing's usual rebellious remarks at home, Xiao Yeyang sneered in his heart. The An family was courting death. Not only themselves, but also Concubine An and the eldest prince.
Xiao Yeyang saw Guyu coming over with a bowl of black abortion-preserving medicine: "Didn't you say the fetus wasn't affected?"
Guyu replied, "Mammy said that the princess's emotions were too volatile just now, and it has more or less affected the little master in her belly. It would be best if she takes a dose of medicine."
Daohua's face suddenly fell. After she became pregnant, there were some smells that she really couldn't stand. She felt nauseous when she smelled them, and medicine was one of them.
Seeing Daohua's bitter and resentful look, Xiao Yeyang's eyes darkened. He turned and left the house, calling the secret guards: "Isn't the An family trying to find out where the Wei family buried the gold?"
"Find an opportunity and reveal the location we know about to them. When they dig, catch them red-handed!"
The Wei family had been operating in Xiliang for several generations and had accumulated considerable wealth. All the wealth that was visible was confiscated by the imperial court, but a portion of it was buried.
Not long ago, when interrogating bandits, one of them revealed this matter. The person who interrogated him at that time was An Zhixing.
After this incident, the An family has been looking for the place where the Wei family buried the gold.
Fighting for the throne is quite costly. As the eldest prince's chief pawn, the An family has to help the eldest prince with his plans as much as possible.
Anfu.
Upon learning that the Weiyuan Palace had invited another doctor, and that the Duke of Fuguo had fainted due to Princess Xiao's miscarriage, the entire An family was in a very bad mood.
Madam An gritted her teeth and said, "That girl from the Yan family is clearly pretending. She wants to harm my An family."
Mrs. An San thought about the situation at that time and couldn't help but say, "Mother, if Princess Xiao was pretending, Guo wouldn't be so anxious."
"Shut up!"
Madam An looked at Madam An San fiercely, as if she wanted to eat her: "If you hadn't stopped me at the palace before, I would have fainted on the spot."
"I was about to faint in the palace. Why would I be so passive at this time? Even if the Yan family girl really had a miscarriage, I would have fainted and the matter would have been over. But you had to stop me."
"I found out that you are really a jinx!"
Mrs. An San's face turned red after being scolded, and she pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Seeing his mother and wife arguing, Lord An felt a little headache: "Mother, now is not the time to talk about this, let's find a way to solve the problem."
Madam An slowly calmed down: "Prepare pen and ink for me. I want to write a letter to the Imperial Concubine and tell her what Xiao Yeyang and the Yan family girl did."
Upon hearing this, Lord An breathed a sigh of relief. With the imperial concubine whispering in the emperor's ear, Xiao Yeyang should not dare to do anything to him.
