Actually, Lady Xue's heart wished that she could chase out the Second House and the rest of the family with wooden sticks, but she could only bear with it due to filial piety. Now, she even wanted to make her son endure even more, so she could not bear it any longer.
Xue Ning Yun personally sent them to the door, then entered the room and couldn't lie down.
When night came, the main house was bustling with noise and excitement. Xue Chaoyun greeted her and stood there like a gentleman. Lady Xue couldn't bear to see her son standing in her house, so she said, "Big bro went out for a day. Let's go back and rest early."
As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. As expected, the Second Madam didn't even stop her words.
"That's right, let's go back as soon as possible. This child has had a difficult life since childhood, and was weak since childhood. Although we can't see much since he's grown up, his family is all proper relatives now. We shouldn't rush back after we've met …"
She said that her son was too weak when he was young, and she didn't let down her heart. It wasn't because her daughter-in-law or her grandson or granddaughter framed her, so how could she make that girl so weak?
To be able to tell now, it actually meant that his foundation was still not good enough! He opened his mouth to refute, but then suddenly heard Xue Qianyun's voice.
"Mother, I visited Aunt Xiao Hui's wife a few days ago and have already invited her to our courtyard for summer vacation. I just didn't expect that the Second Madam would also come to stay here … What should I do now?"
"Cousin was willing to come to our house. This is a good thing, so I'll clean up the courtyard right now."
Xue Xianyun shook his head slightly, "My aunt's first name is extraordinary. She doesn't have a proper wife, so she's just disrespectful to this old man! I think I'll go back and say something. "
He said this and there was a moment of silence in the room, but he didn't care and only said to Lady Xue, "Mother, your son's Mister Meng is now the Imperial Tutor. I've heard that he has come too, and your son is going to deliver his greetings tomorrow. He'll take his leave first."
"I'll go with you. Aiya, you're a junior at your aunt's place. If you explain it to her, it would seem disrespectful to our family. It would be better if I sent a letter, which you … Your mother hasn't seen your aunt for years, so it's no wonder your aunt didn't come out. When she came out, she was saluted everywhere … "
He ignored the Second Madam's family and walked away.
That night, Xue Duanjing came back and saw that his wife wasn't in a good mood. "What's wrong with you now?"
As he finished speaking, he was annoyed with himself. His wife had been so bored by him these two days, so he asked her this question again. It was his fault, too. He relaxed in Shang Lin Garden and didn't want to use his brain anymore.
Lady Xue wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said in a low voice, "Today, when Sis mentioned Cousin Zhao, I thought of Sis Zhao and felt a bit sad for a moment."
Xue Zhengjing was relieved and comforted, "She's good, and she might have already given herself a good pregnancy to save the princess. "I heard that today, the princess personally led people to find the first daughter of the duke. It's a pity that we don't have a daughter, but my granddaughter is too young. It'd be great if she could get her eyes on the princess …"
Du Su's family actually had a salary, but for all these years, their salary was rather low. So the neighbors didn't know that the next door was occupied by a top-notch lady.
Although Eldest Brother Du didn't have to continue slaughtering pigs, his fame was still great. From time to time, someone would ask him for a knife. Just this amount of money was enough for him to support his family.
"We don't lack money, and we bros don't like studying …" Eldest Brother Du muttered.
Du Su was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. Upon hearing this, he was immediately fanned several times by the fan.
"Are you going to force them to do something like this instead of studying? At such a young age, do you want to take them to kill pigs?" The two children will be engaged in a few more years. Oh, let's go out and talk about it. At least an Elementary Scholar before the age of fifteen?
"If you still can't recite well after the age of fifteen, you can go and learn a trade. It's not good to slaughter pigs with you anyway, I have to choose two good wives."
After receiving such a quick beating, Big Brother Du wasn't angered. Instead, he laughed. "What's wrong with killing pigs? I feel that the wife I'm marrying isn't bad, and the children are also good!"
Wei Qi and Wei Zhen were writing on the stone table with their heads down. The two brothers were laughing in secret. When Mother came back, there was a different feeling in the house. Otherwise, the three of them would not have been able to feel any better at home.
Although Eldest Brother Du was a pig slaughterer, his personality was still quite good. It could be said that the Du Family had taught him well, that his wife and husband had truly grown up to be ordinary. No, actually, they were below average.
If Wei Zhao hadn't admitted it himself, Xue Qianyun felt that he might not have been able to recognize her at first glance, but after he did, he felt that it was a bit similar, especially when he was crying. His face was helpless, his eyes were red, and no matter how old he was, it made his heart ache.
Last night, he accidentally walked into the wrong courtyard. Just as he was about to turn around and hear the blurry word "Grand Lady", he heard that word for the first time in his life.
When he found out that someone was scheming against her, he was so angry that blood rushed to his head. He wanted to tell her about it, but he held himself back when he reached the door.
For one thing, he didn't think that it would work. She had a good guard by her side, and he was the only one who had listened to her words. If she didn't do anything, then she would have no proof.
After tossing and turning the entire night, he wanted to see if he could help out in the morning. In the end, he found that there was an expert surrounding her, and it seemed that he was slightly better than the one from that night. He was afraid that he couldn't beat her, so he decided to hide in the forest.
No one dared to hide anything that had happened in the palace from Emperor Qinghe. In his life, he had always hated the fact that he had been set up by others, and even more so, that his daughter had been set up by others!
When he heard Xiao Mubai say that he was innocent while crying and that he was flustered, he remembered wrongly. He directly said, "Xiao Mubai, you deserve a hundred beatings for breaking into the emperor's carriage."
Such a delicate girl. If she didn't go easy on him with her staff, wouldn't she die?
Gao Shang felt that the emperor's heart for his daughter was no different from his heart for his sister. He too wished that he could kill Xiao Mutie. At such a young age, his thoughts were extremely vicious.
The needle that 14 picked up fell to the ground, and the coroner found a few more of the same needles on the back of Gao Qianqian's mount. At that time, there were only two of them, Gao Qianqian and Xiao Mubai.
What he didn't know now was what Xiao Mutie's motive was.
"Woo woo … I'm not lying. I really don't know …" Even if he died, he still said that. There were countless experts by the princess' side. Hadn't she been unable to find Qianqian in time? "Qianqian is fine, I'm so happy about something …"
After a day of interrogation, no food was given and no punishment was used. High Witness saw that she was still stubborn and coldly snorted. "His Majesty has given the decree that if Xiao Mutie dashes into the emperor's carriage, his staff will be rewarded at least a hundred times. You may execute the punishment."
After a few more boards, Gao Shang bent down and whispered into Xiao Mutie's ear,
"Miss Xiao is truly admirable. "I have always been vindictive. If anyone offends me, I will repay them in the hundreds. The Duke of Qi is your uncle, right?" You expect him to save you? "
Gao Shang revealed a smile. "He has already pleaded guilty on behalf of your whole family … Pity that little brother of yours, he's already about to be reincarnated two months after coming to this world … This was all given to him by your determined and good older sister. "
Xiao Mutie gritted his teeth, "I say …"
His mother, sister, and sister-in-law made up for the medicine and soup. He didn't know how many times he made her go to the latrine, but to be honest, it really was better for her to stay in the palace with him.
Coincidentally, the princess sent the red bamboo to visit, and Gao Qianqian immediately perked up. "Good elder sister, take me to the palace. Your Highness will miss me …"
The duke's wife was choked by her daughter's thick skin. She was so angry that she wanted to teach her a lesson but didn't dare to do so in front of her daughter. Her face was red with anger.
Hong Zhu laughed and said, "Your Highness is also worried about Miss, now that I have seen Miss, her complexion is good, this servant can also go back and ask for your reward."
His daughter was spoiled, but her nature was good, and she could speak sweet words and win the favor of the imperial concubine, giving her some face in the circle of the capital's madams.
"Your Highness is praising her too much. Qianqian doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is …"
Red Bamboo didn't dare take up these words and hurriedly said, "Your Highness feels that Miss is naive and has Miss in the palace. Your Highness always smiles a lot, and originally also sent me a servant to ask Miss if she wants anything, and even sent a sedan chair."
Gao Qianqian was beaming with joy. She didn't pack up her things, but the palace was full of goods. If she couldn't borrow anything from Feng Lin and Ji Panpan, then she would be fine. She would just follow the red bamboo up the palanquin.
The palace was filled with flowers and trees. The Imperial Tutor stopped his lessons and left everyone with their homework. For once, he let the sheep go. Ru Yi then joined Feng Lin and the others in reciting poems, guessing riddles, playing with pitchers, and so on. She didn't insist on playing with the things she liked, but would mostly act as a spectator.
Jun Ruye had already been dismissed. "What can happen if you're left alone in the palace? If you don't feel safe leaving only two hidden guards behind, don't scare others with your numbers."
Jun Ruye cursed silently. The ones left behind were dark guards and not ghosts. He was afraid that the dark guards would be taken advantage of by the female servants.
As soon as Gao Qianqian entered, she began to act wildly. After greeting Ann, she said in a rush, "Aiya, what if I want to play with you?"
Ru Yi asked, "Your parents didn't teach you a lesson, right? If I knew you were looking so good, I wouldn't have worried. I should have let you stay at home for a few more days. "
Gao Qianqian refused, "I was just talking about His Highness' loyalty to Big Sister Red Bamboo." As he pulled Ru Yi's sleeve back and forth, the chain around his body also began to move.
Ru Yi didn't pay much attention to the money. She thought it looked familiar, so she gave it another glance and arranged for Gao Qianqian to follow Feng Lin. She then brought the green bamboo along with her and headed back.
Halfway there, he realized why she looked so familiar. When she saw him that day, there was a large sum of money on his belt … Not to mention that Gao Qianqian had never liked cumbersome people, so she rarely wore jade.
Ru Yi looked at the green bamboo, bowed her head and said a few words to her.
