"I want to see my grandma." Qian Lizhen's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood in her face, and she whispered while supporting the maid beside her.
"Please wait a moment, Madam Crown Prince. The concubine has not been here for a long time and is not in good health. The old lady does not want anyone to disturb her." The mother-in-law firmly stopped in front of her and did not let Qian Lizhen pass.
"When is the best time?" Qian Lizhen paused, her expression getting paler.
"My servant doesn't know. The Crown Prince's wife will go back and wait for a while. After the old lady comes out, I will report to the old lady." The mother-in-law refused to give in.
"Then I'll go back first. Grandma will summon me if something happens soon. Several high-status ladies came from outside." Qian Lizhen didn't force it anymore. She looked much more stable now than before she was married.
He was not just fooling around, but seemed reasonable.
In fact, Qian Lizhen has not returned to the Qian Mansion for a long time. Something happened before, and her relationship with the Qian Mansion has also weakened a lot. She usually sends people over to ask questions and does not dare to go back to the Mansion directly.
If it hadn't been for her biological mother's accident this time, Qian Lizhen had no plans to come back for the time being.
"I know this. Madam Prince, please come back!" the mother-in-law said with a genuine smile and a respectful attitude.
Qian Lizhen looked at the main house silently. There was a maid guarding the door of the main house, not too close. Ten steps away from the door, there was not only a maid from the Qian Mansion, but also an even more unusual dress.
The maids and mothers-in-law of Prince Duan's Mansion are all waiting outside the door. It should be my grandmother and cousin discussing something.
Holding the maid's hand, she turned around and almost fell down after taking only two steps. The maid hurriedly supported her: "Mrs. Prince!"
"I'm fine." Qian Lizhen stood still, composed herself, and then helped the person leave.
She did not go to the mourning hall, nor did she go to receive the so-called noble lady. She held the maid's hand and returned to the place where Zhang lived before his death, which was also the main house where Zhang hanged himself.
The room was pure white, and everything was shrouded in solemnity. Qian Lizhen sent everyone out, and knelt down under the beam in the middle with a plop. This was the place where Zhang hanged himself, and cried on the ground.
He stood up and said, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter will avenge you, you... don't worry."
A low whimpering sound came out and was tightly suppressed in this room...
Yu Yuxi didn't stay in Qian's Mansion for a long time. When she took the carriage back to her home, her eyes were still red and swollen, and she could tell she had cried sadly.
She was not fully recovered yet, so she supported the maid and walked a few steps before stopping on the corridor to rest for a while. She walked and stopped all the way, which was not fast.
Not long after walking, he suddenly saw someone coming in front of him. The person in front of him was Yu Lizhu, so he simply stopped again.
"Did Concubine Yu go to the Qian Mansion to pay her respects?" Yu Lizhu came with a large group of people and said proudly as she looked at the panting Yu Yuxi.
"Yes." Yu Yuxi said softly.
"I heard that Aunt Ling committed suicide out of fear of crime?" Yu Lizhu said, rolling her eyes.
"My aunt is seriously ill." Yu Yuxi said, no matter what outsiders say, except for the fact that she hanged herself when asked by the yamen, all other theories are that she is seriously ill.
"Severely ill? How could I hear..." Yu Lizhu was still provoking. She didn't like Zhang Wanyin, so how could she like Yu Yuxi who was sick and weak? Especially when she heard that the prince stayed with Yu Yuxi nine out of ten days.
I was so jealous that I wanted to find something to do when I had nothing to do, let alone something to do now.
This is a needle aimed at Yu Yuxi's heart.
"Concubine Yu, I want to ask you something." Yu Yuxi interrupted Yu Lizhu.
"What's the matter?" Yu Lizhu didn't expect that Yu Yuxi had something else to ask her.
"Grandma said that she sent me a letter before, and it was delivered to the palace and someone picked it up, but in the end the letter didn't reach my hand. I wonder if the same thing happened to Concubine Jade?" Yu Yuxi frowned.
"Your letters from home are missing?" Yu Lizhu mocked, "I don't have such a problem. Someone has sent all my letters."
She had only been in the house for a short time, and no one had sent her a letter.
"That's it!" Yu Yuxi lowered her head lonely, "Then I'll ask the prince, but I haven't seen the prince for several days."
"Didn't you see the prince?" Yu Lizhu didn't believe it. The news she got, the prince
I often go to Yu Lizhu’s place.
"I've been sick for so long. I'm weak. I was almost dead before. It's already good if the prince can have someone take care of me. How could I keep coming here on my own?" Yu Yuxi said with a bitter smile, "
Now...I haven't even received a letter from home, so how could I..."
After speaking, his eyes turned slightly red, and he lowered his head to hide the sadness in his eyes.
So, the information she inquired about was wrong, or was it misled by others? Yu Lizhu understood it at a glance and was shocked. This was so different from what she had inquired about. Zhang Wanyin was now the master of the house?
Looking at Yu Yuxi's sickly appearance, her face was pale and haggard. How could she have such a good look like her? The prince really liked to see such a sick person, why would he go away for nine out of ten days?
"Is it true that Your Majesty has not always been with you?"
"If Concubine Jade doesn't believe it, you can ask the people around the prince." Yu Yuxi said with a bitter smile, holding the maid's hand and standing up, "I'm not in good health, so I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he held the maid's hand and left weakly.
Yu Lizhu didn't stop her, she stood behind her and watched her retreating back. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was fishy. Could it be that the things she had recently heard about were all under the instruction of Zhang Wanyin?
You can throw away Yu Yuxi's family letters and let Zhang Wanyin intercept them. It doesn't matter if the people around you find out false information. No matter how you look at Yu Yuxi, she doesn't look like she can compete for favor, so... it's still Zhang Wanyin?
It’s still Zhang Wanyin!
On the night of her wedding, she was disturbed by Zhang Wanyin. Later, she went to the palace to complain to her aunt, but her aunt actually asked her to endure it, saying that it would be over after she had endured it.
But why should she bear it? She couldn't bear it! She rolled her eyes and was suddenly overjoyed. Now was a good opportunity. She had not given Zhang Wanyin a blow when she entered...
Now is a good opportunity. Zhang Wanyin also thinks so. She makes people keep an eye on the Qian Mansion and the movements of Mrs. Qian.
Qian Mansion sent a letter to Prince Duan Mansion, so she naturally knew about it.
The matter of the jade pendant is very important. Zhang Wanyin would rather believe that it exists than that it does not exist.
The letter then came into her hands. After opening it, Zhang Wanyin was silent for a long time after reading it. Finally, she sent the letter to Feng Lanxiu. She said that the boy took the letter and thought it was hers. When he handed it to her, she casually handed it to her.
When I opened it, I found that it belonged to Concubine Yu. Because Prince Duan was mentioned in the story, I showed it to the prince specially.
The boy has been severely scolded.
Zhang Wanyin did everything right. After Feng Lanxiu saw it, he didn't blame her, but only told her not to do this in the future.
After she read the letter, Mrs. Qian begged Yu Yuxi to seek help from Prince Duan. However, this failed in the end. Now that Minister Qian was implicated and punished, this was a good thing for Zhang Wanyin.
Does Mrs. Qian have a jade pendant in her hand? How can she contact Mrs. Qian? It is definitely not possible to come directly to the door. Yu Yuxi's aunt is not enough, and she hanged herself because of such a thing. Even if the Qian Mansion explains to the outside that it is a serious illness, it cannot be concealed.
The truth about suicide.
If she couldn't go, how could she contact Mrs. Qian?
The weaker the Qian Mansion is now, the better it is for her, and the more likely she is to get the jade pendant from Mrs. Qian. The current trouble in the Qian Mansion is a good opportunity, and of course she will not let Prince Duan help the Qian Mansion at such an opportunity.
The matter of the letter has been revealed, and she is not afraid of Yu Yuxi going to investigate. The prince knows this matter, and she expected that the prince did not reach out.
Just as she was thinking about how to get the news about the jade pendant from Mrs. Qian, she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. Zhang Wanyin's face darkened: "Who is making a noise here?"
"Princess, please go take a look." Yubi put down the tea set in her hand and responded.
Zhang Wanyin nodded, and Yubi opened the curtain and went out. Before she could reach the courtyard gate, the people on the other side had already rushed over.
"How dare you, this is where the princess is, no one dares to rush into her." People came so fast and there were so many people, so Yubi shouted loudly without seeing them clearly.
"Pa" hit Yubi's face with a heavy slap. Yubi took two steps back and almost fell down. She covered her face with her hands and glared at the other party. Then she saw clearly the maids opposite and the mother-in-law standing in the middle.
She is the jade concubine.
"Princess? I'm just looking for the princess. Why don't you go and report to the princess quickly?" Yu Lizhu said sharply, her eyes widening.
"This slave has seen Yu Concubine." Yu Bi gritted her teeth and swallowed a mouthful of saliva that smelled of blood. The slap was so hard.
"Why don't you report it to the princess?" Yu Lizhu said with a sneer.
He said he was going to report, but he had already gone in and passed directly over Yubi. After Yubi was stunned, he hurriedly went around the edge and reported in front of the door.
"Please come in, Concubine Jade." Zhang Wanyin had already heard the movement inside the door and said calmly.
Yu Yan went to the door and raised the curtain, and bowed respectfully to Yu Lizhu: "I have seen Yu Concubine."
Yu Lizhu ignored her and entered the house angrily...
"I've met the princess." Yu Lizhu exclaimed and cupped her hands.
"Is something wrong with Concubine Jade?" Zhang Wanyin asked with a smile.
"Princess, I just want to ask if there is something wrong with us that makes the princess so taboo and do this kind of thing again and again." Yu Lizhu came prepared, and she was not the only one who said "We
".
"What do you mean by Concubine Yu, why can't I understand?" Zhang Wanyin frowned and looked at Yu Lizhu in confusion, "Can Concubine Yu speak more clearly?"
"I...I can't explain more clearly, princess, I just want to ask why, why did you do this, why did you withhold our letters, even if you are the princess, you should not withhold our letters!" Yu
Lizhu was so angry that her eyes were red. She pointed at herself and then at Zhang Wanyin.
"Princess, I know that I am the concubine and you are the principal concubine, but the principal concubine of any family cannot withhold the letter from the concubine. What can be done with the letters written from home? They are just ordinary daily things and some greetings.
, Why is the princess so worried? Why did someone keep it? I just want to ask the princess what you mean, are you not allowed to have letters from our home? "
