Shui Yiyuan stood there, his fists slowly clenching, as killing intent seemed to burst out of his eyes, flashing past so fast that even he himself did not realise it.

"Why is she going to Ma Ji Town?" Shui Yiyuan's voice carried a suppressed hoarseness.

Madam Hua looked at Shui Yiyuan's back, and coldly smiled: "I don't know, she said she would rush back this morning, and didn't tell me the reason."

"Do you know what kind of place this is?!" Shui Yiyuan was filled with anger.

"The princess can go, but your daughter is more difficult than the princess." Madam Hua sneered.

It was just a mere Ma Ji Town. The gospel princess had left in broad daylight and had even openly brought back a male pet. The emperor had only punished her with a year's worth of salary.

Although the Madam Hua did not go out often. However, she had not leaked any news about the capital.

Madam Hua did not think much of it. Even if she was blind, she could clearly feel what the aristocrats in the capital were like.

Thinking about it, Madam Hua remembered that when she was around ten years old, in order to make a living, she dressed up as a man and sold vegetables in a place where both fish and dragons were mixed together.

Shui Yiyuan's face did not look good, he flung his sleeves and left the house.

Madam Hu was waiting outside the door, hoping that someone would call her in. She wanted to see the probability of getting back the wife’s power, but in the end she saw Shui Yiyuan's dark face before anyone could call her out.

Madam Hu went up to welcome him, worry expressed between her brows: "What's wrong?" As she said that, she also planned to extend her hand to pacify Shui Yiyuan's frown.

"A bunch of ignorant women and children!" Shui Yiyuan pushed away the Madam Hu's hand and left with big strides.

How could his daughter be comparable to the Grand Princess of the Gospel! The matter of Shui Qingyan going to the Ma Ji Town was even more serious than the matter of Shui Qingyan staying in the Prince Chu Palace. However, this was also an opportunity. He had to think of a way to do something.

Madam Hu looked at the back of her red hands, then looked at Shui Yiyuan's back with grievance before she looked at Madam Hua's room and left unwillingly.

No matter what, she would snatch the wife’s power away. After all, her daughter was already old, even if it wasn't for herself, she had to find a good way out for her daughter.

Madam Hu glanced at Butler Fu once more, then turned and left.

Seeing that the Madam Hu had left, Uncle Fu entered the door. He still had some matters to discuss with the two old wives who had grasped the wife’s power.

After Madam Hu entered her own courtyard, she walked up to her trusted aide, the Senior Servant Rong.

"Aunt is back." Senior Servant Rong gestured for Madam Hu to enter the house and speak.

Madam Hu entered the room and sat down: "What's wrong?"

Senior Servant Rong served tea for the Madam Hu: "Aunt, the Fifth Miss is making a ruckus in the Hu Mansion to come back. You should find some time to go and take a look."

"Coming back at this time, do you want to die?" Madam Hu slapped her hand on the table, "If Shui Qingyan died, then it's fine, but Shui Qingyan isn't dead, do you think Shui Qingyan will let Fifth Miss who was pushing her down the cliff go!?"

"I also said the same thing. The Hu Mansion will also stop us, but concubine, you need to find some time to go over and take a look and persuade Fifth Miss." Senior Servant Rong patted her shoulder as she consoled him.

"She didn't die when she fell off the cliff, she didn't die last night, she's really lucky. Every time she was saved by the Prince Chu, I don't believe she will be so lucky again." Madam Hu's face turned sinister.

If she could make the high and mighty quasi-Crown Princess Shui Qingcheng marry an impoverished scholar, she would have the means to make Shui Qingyan die.

"I've clearly already used my bare hands to push Fourth Miss to the back of her head, and I've even lost a lot of blood. I didn't expect her to be able to stand up." Senior Servant Rong shook her head. She really couldn't understand, her actions had always been accurate.

Thinking back to the scene from that day, Senior Servant Rong couldn't help but sigh at her miscalculation. Even the Fourth Miss was still alive after bleeding so much blood from the back of her head, she really didn't know what to say.

Moreover, there were so many reefs in the river below the cliff, yet the Fourth Miss was still fine. She just didn't know what Fourth Miss's opinion was about the Fifth Miss pushing her down the cliff. If the Fourth Miss said it out loud and the Fifth Miss refused to admit it, the Fourth Miss wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

"No matter what, is there any news from there?" Madam Hu shook her head.

"There's still not a letter. Since someone has already come to report on the safety of Prince Chu Palace, then the event last night must have failed." As soon as Senior Servant Rong finished speaking, the other capable arm of the Madam Hu walked in.

Bai Lu closed the door, then took out a small slip of paper from her sleeve. "Aunt, there's some news over there."

"What does it say?" Madam Hu glanced at Bai Lu indifferently. She already knew the result, and she could guess what the process would be like.

Upon hearing the order, Bai Lu immediately opened the slip of paper. When she saw the contents, her face paled and she weakly said, "Aunt."

"Feel free to speak." Senior Servant Rong came over and snatched the paper slip away. She glanced at Bai Lu and gasped when she saw the contents written on it.

Seeing that, the Madam Hu frowned, and took the paper slip, which read:

Four dead, one crippled, see you at the same place on the twelfth.

Madam Hu rubbed the slip of paper in his hands. None of the brothers of the eighteen strongholds had ever died because of her.

What did this mean? It meant that she would have to pay a great price to calm their anger.

Thinking about this, Madam Hu pressed her forehead with her hand and gave the paper slip to Senior Servant Rong.

Senior Servant Rong immediately burned the slip of paper.

"Why are you closing the door in broad daylight?" Outside the door was Second Miss Shui Qingyuan's voice.

Bai Lu patted her face, then went over to open the door with a smile. "Second Miss, why have you come?"

Shui Qingyuan had completely inherited the Madam Hu's seductive eyes, but there was a hint of pride and height between his brows, which just so happened to balance the inherent charm between his brows. At sixteen years of age, she seemed to have a unique flavor, as she wore a goose yellow dress, like a sprout on a willow leaf in spring.

Shui Qingyan frowned, and looked at Bai Lu: "Can't I come?"

"Second Miss must be joking." Senior Servant Rong immediately went up and gave Bai Lu a look. She let Bai Lu make tea and invited Shui Qingyuan in.

Inside, Madam Hu had already stood up and looked at Shui Qingyuan with a face full of smiles. She had two daughters, one was Second Miss Shui Qingyuan, and the other was Fifth Miss Shui Qingya.

The Madam Hu asked, "Does Second Young Miss want to eat Qingrong Sesame? This aunt will make it for you."

Shui Qingyuan sat down and glanced at Madam Hu: "Aunt, I would like to ask, why would Fourth Sister be related to the Prince Chu Palace."

When Madam Hu heard this, she immediately frowned. "Don't think about the sickly heir to the Prince Chu Palace. Any one of the young masters in the capital is stronger than that ghost."

"It's not like Aunt doesn't know about me. I'm not interested in the sickly Crown Prince of the Prince Chu Palace, but I'm interested in Shui Qingyan." Shui Qingyuan took the tea that Bai Lu had served and pushed it towards Madam Hu. "Second Aunt, you, mother and son, there's no one else here, you don't need to stand."

Madam Hu was waiting for Shui Qingyuan to say these words. Hearing Shui Qingyuan's words, she felt her heart warm and she sat down with a smile: "Who cares what relationship does Shui Qingyan have with Prince Chu. In short, your happiness is definitely not related to Prince Chu Palace."

Although the Prince Chu is not a long life span, he is the sole son of the Prince Chu Palace and is holding onto the military power. If Shui Qingyan is really related to the Prince Chu Palace, I'm afraid she would say bad things about Aunt in front of the people from the Prince Chu Palace. " Shui Qingyuan received another cup of tea from Bai Lu.

"Mother's third year is only a few months away from the end. Aunt must seize this opportunity." Shui Qingyuan said, as she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, "Although wife’s power are important, father's heart is more important."

The Senior Servant Rong listened and nodded her head. The Second Miss was getting more and more sensible.

"Silly girl, could it be that Aunt knows less than you?" Madam Hu glanced at Shui Qingyuan with a smile.

Shui Qingyuan raised her head, her face blushing faintly, her eyes did not directly come into contact with the Madam Hu. She initially did not want to say all this, but she was already old enough, and the status of her aunt in the Shui’s Marion was also dependent on who she could marry.

She didn't want to end up like Shui Qingcheng, in someone who had married someone who wasn't human. The person she married would definitely be someone she loved and would definitely be someone who could make her proud and proud.

Madam Hu also saw Shui Qingyuan's uneasiness, and immediately laughed while using her handkerchief to cover her mouth: "Second Miss isn't young anymore, I see that the young master with great Liu’s Mansion is not bad."

"Aunt!" Shui Qingyuan blushed and immediately glared at Madam Hu, "Stop spouting nonsense. Big Cousin is not bad, but it's not what I want.

Madam Hu smiled and stopped her, "Good, good, good. Second Young Miss must be happy with the marriage."

Although Shui Qingyuan was laughing happily in her heart, her face was already completely red like an apple.

Seeing that Shui Qingyuan had left, the Madam Hu behind her stopped laughing and sighed in her heart. Her two daughters definitely had a good future.

On this side, after Shui Yiyuan left the Chang Le Yard, he directly went to the Prince Chu Palace.
