Seeing the reactions of Gu Qingyi and that mama, as well as that little girl's confession, even Feng Yue was certain that this matter was certain. Even if Gu Qingyi thought about it, she would not be able to let it go. However, she preferred to steal from the hands of others, so when the time came, even if the Prince were to pursue the matter, it would have nothing to do with her.
"It seems that even Aunt thought that this was my fault. It's just that even now, I still don't understand what my fault was. "Since that's the case, I'll have to trouble Aunt Lian to guide me." Initially, Gu Qingyi had only been interested in this matter for a short period of time. She did not think that it would have any effect so quickly. However, since Feng Yue wanted to cause trouble and the mama wasn't going to stop her, she could not be blamed.
"Since everyone is here, some people might say that I have been unfair in my ways. How about everyone go and see what is going on?" When Gu Qingyi said this, not only did Feng Yue not notice that something was amiss, she even felt that she was being stubborn. Since that was the case, he might as well tear off her disguise. At first, she didn't want to break off all decorum with Gu Qishao. After all, she was a direct descendant, and even though she was his mother, her status was still quite awkward. If she could take care of Gu Qingyi, then it might be beneficial for her. It was just that he did not expect this silly looking girl from a few days ago to become so intelligent overnight. Since she was unable to be of use to him, she could not let him use her as a stumbling block.
A large group of people, each with their own thoughts, majestically walked towards Gu Xi's courtyard.
Although Gu Xi lived in the same courtyard as Lian Feng Yue, this Phoenix Maiden Garden was built on a superior scale. Even a prince wouldn't be able to enjoy such privileges, so even if they lived in the same courtyard, with the pavilions unceasing and the waterside gardens connected, it would still take a lot of time for them to walk over.
"Greetings, Empress!"
"Greetings, Empress!"
In the auxiliary hall of the Fengyi Courtyard, the two maidservants saw Lian Feng Yue quickly kneel down and pay her respects. However, they did not even glance at Gu Qingyi. Anger filled the old lady's heart. She had heard a lot about Feng Yue in the past few years, but seeing it with her own eyes was a different matter. Although Gu Yinian was bestowed the title of prince, he was still not from the imperial family. Back then, he was still the same status as the princess. Logically speaking, a princess shouldn't have a concubine by her side. Even if she did have a concubine, she would only have a name in the same room, and Feng Yue had only gotten the title of an aunt because she had Gu Xi.
Although Princess Anping had been dead for so many years, it was unknown whether Gu Yinian had forgotten or not. Although he hadn't taken her as his first wife, he had no intention of helping her improve her position. However, Feng Yue had taken care of all of the Gu family's internal affairs over the years, and had cleaned up everything from top to bottom … She was just a mere concubine, yet she didn't even have the title of secondary concubine. To think that the servants would call her 'Empress'. The old mama's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. In the past, she was the one who brought up Princess Anping, regardless of whether it was etiquette or rules, she had engraved them in her heart. Seeing that these people didn't know the rules, she couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
However, just as she was about to open her mouth to flare up, she was stopped by Gu Qingyi without leaving a trace behind. "Senior Servant, don't be impatient."
Since this matter was going to get out of hand, she might as well make it bigger. Now she wanted to see how ambitious Lian Feng Yue was.
"Get up." Lian Feng Yue nodded and gently waved her hand, indicating that they should get up. She didn't feel that anything was amiss. A few years ago, she still felt a little guilty. With the passage of time, she had gripped the entire Gu Royal Mansion tightly in her hands. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with calling these servants a servant in the slightest.
