It is often in the most difficult times that people can see the faces of others.
Ning Yujin's "disease" suddenly caused an uproar in the entire Shengjing City.
Some people gloat about misfortune, saying that a sparrow flies on a branch and turns into a phoenix. It is indeed not their blessing, and they cannot enjoy it even if they are given it.
You deserve to be scolded secretly, do you think it’s so easy to get into Prince Ding’s palace? Do you think it’s so easy to be Princess Ding?
Of course, people who truly love Mo Jingxiao also love Wu Jingxiao and are busy burning incense, making offerings, and kowtow to pray for blessings.
At Prince Ding's Mansion, carriages from various houses were parked at the door almost early in the morning.
People like Shen Yixuan who were not suitable to go out or who were not close friends only sent various precious medicines to express their concern.
As for Mrs. Su, no matter what kind of illness Ning Yujin was suffering from, she and Su Yuehua hurried over in person.
Murong Xuan had people welcome them into the mansion and put them in the living room to entertain them. However, not long after, they heard a commotion there.
"What's going on?" He was very busy at the moment, and he frowned immediately when he heard the reply.
The boy who came to report back said: "Mrs. Su and Miss Su must go and see the third lady. We can hardly stop them. Mr. Murong, please go and have a look."
Mrs. Su and Su Yuehua were carved out of the same mold, with direct and fiery personalities, which were really difficult to deal with sometimes.
Moreover, the two of them are also concerned about the third lady, and this friendship should at least be understood.
Murong Xuan was deep in thought when he heard someone coming in from outside and reporting: "Mr. Murong, someone from Quan Ning Bo Mansion has arrived."
"Oh? Who is here?" Murong Xuan frowned when he said this, feeling slightly annoyed.
Even if Miss Ning San is no longer favored in the Quan Ning Bo Mansion, she is still the confirmed princess in the future. The Quan Ning Bo Mansion is her natal family after all. But the people from the Quan Ning Bo Mansion have only arrived so late. , what on earth are you thinking? Can’t you even pretend to care?
"Replying to Mr. Murong, here is the eldest lady of the uncle's house and a cousin."
"Miss cousin? She is the legitimate granddaughter of Qu Shangshu?" Murong Xuan simply pushed the Qu family's relationship. The cousin who can bring her to Prince Ding's palace should be the legitimate daughter of her eldest brother's family.
The boy nodded and said, "Exactly."
Murong Xuan's eyes suddenly darkened, and a coldness flashed in the corner of his eyes: "At this time, Mrs. Qu has brought an unmarried cousin to the uncle's house. She is really treating the third lady very well. OK!"
When I heard that Miss Third had contracted the plague, I didn't come to see how she was doing. Instead, I first considered my options and selected someone to take over Miss Third's position as Princess Ding, and then I rushed over.
No wonder, no wonder everyone arrived, but they were the last to arrive. What a good plan.
But I don’t want to think about it. If the third young lady really dies, will it be her turn to get the position of Princess Ding from Ning Bo Mansion? Or her natal family?
Murong Xuan sneered silently and ordered: "Take them to the living room and stay with Mrs. Su and the others to entertain them!"
Aren't Mrs. Su and the others making a big fuss right now? If you want to make a fuss, just go and make trouble with the two of them. With Mrs. Su's experience, she will know Qu's plan at just one glance, so why should he take action to deal with it? ?
After the troublesome people who came to express condolences were dealt with, the rest were handed over to the housekeeper in the mansion.
He called the shadow guard and asked: "The shadow guard who went to inform me of the news hasn't come back yet?"
The shadow guard lowered his head and replied without any emotion: "No."
Murong Xuan's body relaxed and he leaned back on the chair. He closed his eyes and reached out to rub his eyebrows.

In the living room, Qiu Yun led the eldest lady and Qu Youming to the door, and raised his voice and shouted: "The eldest lady of Quan Ningbo Mansion and Miss Qu, the Minister of Rites, have arrived——"
The long and drawn-out tone, with some unknown meaning, startled everyone inside and outside.
Then Qu Youming took the eldest lady and asked quietly: "The rules of the palace are so strange. Why did they start shouting outside the door?"
This big family has certain rules even when it comes to communication. Calling directly outside the door usually requires high-ranking people to use it. It means that when I come, you won't come out and kneel down to greet me.
The eldest lady didn't know who was inside. She thought they were the wives of officials who were trying to curry favor with Ning Yujin when she was sick. She immediately raised her chin slightly, straightened her chest, and assumed a high-spirited attitude, turning her head towards Qu Youming.
He said: "No matter what the rules or irregularities are, you should also show me some airs and aura. If you want to be a princess, you can't do it without a little aura to calm down the situation."
Qu Youming was overjoyed, and a smile was about to burst out of her mouth, but she still held it back, lowered her head and said softly: "Aunt, Youming has remembered."
But in the living room, Mrs. Su and Su Yuehua, who were still furious and wanted to see Ning Yujin, suddenly stopped when they heard the announcement.
Old Mrs. Su looked at Su Yuehua, stretched out her hand and took out her ears and said, "Hua'er, is it because my ears are old, or did I really hear it? Who is coming from outside?"
Su Yuehua sat down at the seat next to Mrs. Su, and snorted coldly: "This is Mrs. Qu from Quan Ningbo's Mansion, and what about Miss Qu? Hehe, they came really early."
"It's okay for Mr. Qu to come over, but what's going on with her bringing a girl who hasn't been engaged yet?" Mrs. Su frowned and thought about it carefully, then her face suddenly changed and her brows furrowed with anger, "Then kill
What do you think of Qian Dao's old hoof? Jin'er girl hasn't done anything yet, but she's already thinking about promoting someone to a higher position. Who does she think she is?"
Su Yuehua had always had a bad impression of Mrs. Qu. When she heard her mother's last words, she was immediately shocked: "Mom, what did you say about Miss Qu... Heh, let me just say when did Mr. Qu treat little Jin'er well?
Be kind!”
"Don't panic, Jin'er girl is sick now. Let me, an old woman, take care of these evil spirits, roosters, dogs and thieves!"
Mrs. Su sat on the upper seat, straightened her clothes carefully, and looked at the door with a majestic look.
Su Yuehua sneered at the corner of her mouth and looked at the door without saying another word.
Outside, the eldest lady waited and waited but didn't hear any movement inside. She was suddenly surprised. Only then did she remember to ask Qiu Yun: "Is there anyone else inside?"
Qiu Yun smiled at the corner of his mouth and replied politely: "As for Madam, there are Mrs. Su and Miss Su from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Is it the two of them?" The eldest lady was also startled. After being stunned for two seconds, she quickly said, "Since they are all inside, please change a place for us."
She has seen Su Yuehua's behavior before, and Mrs. Su's fiery personality is famous throughout Shengjing City. Besides, Mrs. Su still has some qualifications. If she tries to play tricks, she won't be able to withstand it.
But Qiu Yun was a little embarrassed and said: "Madam, the servants have just informed you. If you and Miss Qu don't go in, then there's no guarantee that Mrs. Su and Miss Su won't think too much about it. You said that if Mrs. Su blames us, we still have to go in."
It's easy to say, if there is any quarrel between you and the eldest madam, it will be bad."
Qiu Yun has always had a sharp mouth, which is why Murong Xuan sent her here.
As expected, the eldest lady looked like she wanted to be angry but didn't dare to be angry for fear of losing her identity. Finally, she stamped her feet and gnashed her teeth and said a few words: "Ming'er, let's go in!"
