Chapter 120 Let Prince Duan’s Mansion Deal with Her
"No, I want to go to the Gu family to settle the score with Gu Ruanci..." Shang Hongmian, who was persuaded, changed his target.
Ye Chi quickly stopped her: "Madam, forget it. Given her personality, she'll be just as arrogant even if you go. Those in the Zhou family are her closest relatives, look at how she reacted? After being bitten by a mad dog, instead of biting her and going after her, she tried to pull out her teeth..."
After Ye Chi finished speaking, Shang Hongmian nodded: "That's right, this Gu Ruanci is becoming more and more annoying. I don't believe that there is still no one in Dizhou City who can deal with her... I want to go home and let my mother come forward. I don't believe that the emperor will not give face to my mother, his aunt..."
This time, no one from the Ye family stopped her. Although Princess Jincheng was not very close to the emperor, she had to call him her cousin according to their seniority.
If she came forward, she would probably suffer no good consequences.
"Madam, let me go with you..." Ye Chi said.
"What else? You can explain what happened to my father and mother yourself..."
Although Shang Hongmian was still a little angry about Ye Chi's deception to her, she could accept it when she thought that he fell in love with her at first sight and insisted on marrying her.
Ye Chi naturally did not refute. He glared at Ye Chengyun, who was curled up in a ball next to him.
"Evil creature, come here now."
"Why are you scolding him for no reason? He did nothing wrong, he just doesn't want me to be kept in the dark."
Shang Hongmian quickly came to his rescue and carefully held the frightened Ye Chengyun in her arms.
Ye Chi sighed: "Madam, if you always defend him like this, he will get into more trouble."
"Anyway, you can't touch him today!"
After Shang Hongmian finished speaking, Ye Chengyun knew that he was completely rescued.
Qin Kerou still felt aggrieved when watching their family leave.
She could persuade Shang Hongmian, but she couldn't persuade herself.
"Father, Mother, are we going to have to endure this soft word forever?"
Pan said sinisterly, "Didn't your sister-in-law go back to her parents' home to ask the princess for help?"
"What if they can't be relied upon? Her attitude clearly shows that she doesn't want to live in peace with the Ye family. We can't indulge her any longer..."
Ye Keguan remained silent, so Pan asked, "So what do you want to do?"
"Of course, I want to let her know that our Ye family isn't as easy to mess with as the Zhou family. I want to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, she always thinks that she can rest easy just because she acknowledges the Duke of Shou as her father. The Duke of Shou's Mansion is now in trouble, and she is really arrogant."
Mrs. Pan knew her niece from her mother's side very well and knew that she was really angry.
In fact, she is the same. Without Ye Hesheng and Gu Ruanci in her life these years, she feels so comfortable.
Even the sons left behind by Ye Hesheng recognized their daughter Ye Lanxin as their mother. She thought that life would continue like this.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ruanci shattered her fantasy as soon as she came back.
"The Gu family's current situation is uncertain. We don't need to act rashly. Someone is already putting pressure on the Emperor. If we intervene at this time, it might not add fuel to the fire, but may even cause the Emperor to rebel. Kerou, you must remember that there is still a long way to go."
She accidentally caught a glimpse of Ye Keguan, who was looking unhappy, and immediately changed her tone.
"Also, you should understand that no matter what, she is your father's granddaughter after all. She's been living away from home for years, and perhaps she's learned bad things from someone. As elders, we shouldn't be too concerned. After she stumbles a few times in the future, she'll naturally understand what she should do."
Ye Keguan sighed almost inaudibly. Pan cursed inwardly but maintained a dignified expression.
"Besides, she lost her mother when she was young. She is also a pitiful person."
Qin Kerou already understood what she wanted to express. She glanced in Ye Keguan's direction and stopped talking.
However, Ye Lingyue didn't want to let it go like this. She rushed over and said, "Grandma, this isn't right. Since she's done something wrong now, we have to let her learn from it. Otherwise, what if she really gets into trouble in the future? This time she only talked about the betrothal gift. Who knows what she'll do next time? What if it's pain that our Ye family can't bear? Just look at her attitude towards us now. Who can guarantee that she won't attack us, especially Chengyun?"
Ye Keguan closed his eyes. This was the result he least wanted to see.
Pan deliberately asked, "This shouldn't be the case, right?"
"Of course not. Grandmother, you haven't seen Gu Ruanci's arrogance. She only got the title of County Master through the Gu family's military achievements. She really thinks she's on par with true royal relatives like Lu Wenxue. Today, she even slapped Lu Wenxue in the face in front of us..."
Mrs. Pan was stunned, and Ye Keguan's eyes widened instantly.
"She beat up County Master Mingyue?"
"That's right. She even dared to hit Prince Duan's only daughter. What else is there that she wouldn't dare to do?"
After Ye Lingyue finished speaking, Ye Keguan was dumbfounded.
Mrs. Pan was a little excited because she had already thought of how to deal with Gu Ruanci.
"You must not tell anyone about this matter, otherwise what will happen to the reputation of Prince Duan's Mansion?"
She said this deliberately and gave Ye Lingyue a look.
Ye Lingyue immediately reacted, "Grandmother, this isn't something I'm just saying. I'm afraid everyone who attended the banquet today already knows about it... Maybe His Royal Highness Prince Duan has also heard about it and is thinking about how to settle the score with Gu Ruanci."
Pan was even happier, but she maintained her previous tone. "Alright, let's not discuss this matter anymore. Just pretend we don't know anything. We naturally can't interfere in the affairs of Prince Duan's Mansion... Also, no matter how many people know, don't discuss it with others. Otherwise, it won't just be Gu Ruanci who will offend Prince Duan's Mansion."
"Okay, I get it, Grandma."
Ye Lingyue had already understood what Pan meant, and thought that with the intervention of Prince Duan's Mansion, Gu Ruanci was doomed this time.
At this time in Prince Duan's Mansion, Lu Wenxue was kneeling in Concubine Wen's courtyard, with the nanny beside Concubine Duan supervising her.
The pampered Concubine Wen felt distressed when she saw her daughter sweating profusely. She wanted her to get up first, but the nanny reminded her, "Concubine, the princess ordered the county lady to kneel for three hours, and there's still half an hour left."
Concubine Wen felt upset. Her daughter was beaten, but the princess not only did not come forward to settle the score with Gu Ruanci, but even made her kneel down. Wasn't she jealous of her favor over the years?
"Mammy, Wenxue is still a child, and she suffered injustice today. If the prince comes back, he will definitely be heartbroken. If the prince asks about it, I'm afraid the princess will have a hard time explaining it."
The nanny remained expressionless as she spoke, "What the concubine said is true. The county lady has been acting without any rules lately, repeatedly making outrageous remarks that have humiliated the reputation of Prince Duan's mansion. It's really hard for the princess, as the mistress, to explain this. If the concubine is dissatisfied with the princess's punishment, why not go and tell her in person? I'm just a servant and can only follow her orders..."
Concubine Wen felt even more resentful and asked directly, "Then how does the princess want to deal with Gu Ruanci who slapped Wen Xue?"
