That hateful look, as if he wanted to eat her... Zhao Yingxue shuddered when she thought of the appearance of the third prince just now.
Aunt Xu smiled. Even though she was in her thirties, she still looked young and as beautiful as in her early twenties: "Follow mother's instructions and you will definitely get what you want."
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Xining got into the car, and Zhao Yingyue mounted the horse to escort her. After arriving at the Zhenguo General's Mansion, only Aunt Xu got out of the car, but Zhao Yingxue and Yuanyang were not seen.
Zhao Yingyue stepped forward and opened the curtain of the car. The car was empty.
Damn it! Zhao Yingyue frowned and turned to Aunt Xu: "Where is the second sister?"
Aunt Xu stretched out her hand and gently stroked Ruyun's bun, smiled lightly, and did not answer.
Xining held Dongmei's hand: "Go in first."
If there was anything to discuss first, Zhao Yingyue could only suppress her anger.
As soon as everyone entered the house, Xining immediately said: "Escort Aunt Xu back to Jingxi Courtyard first."
Zhao Yingyue understood what it meant and motioned the two guards to come forward with her eyes.
Aunt Xu, however, took her time and went to Jingxi Courtyard as if nothing was wrong.
"It's my aunt after all." Zhao Yingyue's face was as solid as iron.
"Send two more ladies over to watch. Second brother, please quickly call someone to tell dad; send someone to find him, especially outside the third prince's house. I'll go find mom!" Xining quickened his pace. Walk towards Beidingyuan.
When Mrs. Zhao heard the reason for the incident, she slammed the table angrily: "Damn you, are you impatient to let your daughter follow her old path and try to gain the reputation of the entire General's Mansion?"
Xining only said that Zhao Yingxue wanted to be a concubine and had a private appointment with the third prince. She got General Zhao's permission to report the matter. And Zhao Yingxue ran away on the way back home. Avoiding Aunt Xu’s origin.
Mrs. Zhao was simply furious: "The master came to me to discuss it. He didn't want his daughter to be a concubine, and he decided to get married before the imperial edict. But she sent her daughter to marry the emperor, trying to push her into the fire pit. No. Look, she has become a side concubine, and there is also a principal concubine above her. Who kind of person is she, who would look down on her, a mere concubine?"
Sure enough, General Zhao didn't say that Aunt Xu had Huns ancestry. This matter was the big deal that shocked the world. As for Mrs. Zhao's temperament, she would panic even if she didn't tell anyone. If you are worried, it is better not to talk about it and let it rot in your stomach, but your life will be easier.
Aunt Li next to her also had a look of disdain on her face: "Aunt Xu tied up the general, thinking that if she can do it, the second favorite, Lotus Root Jie, will naturally do it too. Now that things have reached this point, we'd better find someone as soon as possible."
Xining responded: "Second brother has sent people to look for him, and dad has also sent people to call him back."
The little daughter's calm look showed that she had really grown up. Mrs. Zhao felt a little comforted in her heart, but her face was a little calm and annoyed: "Where is that bitch at this time?"
"In the Jingxi Courtyard, the guards are guarding the place, and two women are also keeping an eye on it."
Mrs. Zhao nodded, then stood up suddenly: "I'll go take a look!"
"Hey~" Nanny Li quickly stopped: "Madam, what are you going to do now? It's better to let the general come back and make a decision at this time."
Xining also stood up: "Yes, mother. What can you do if you go, beat me or scold me? Aunt Xu has made up her mind, and she will be asking for trouble if she says it. If you beat her, it will be spread that you will be the mistress." You're mean. Let's wait until dad comes back."
This might be the best thing to do, so Mrs. Zhao could only sit down, pick up the water and take a sip. I have drunk this water, and I have seen the bottom in one sip.
Mrs. Zhao irritably put down the empty tea bowl: "It's really not going well. I can't even drink water without my teeth filling."
"Go and make some tea." After Xining ordered Qiu Ye, he said to Dong Mei beside him: "Go back to the courtyard and see if Xia He has prepared snacks. Bring some."
Dongmei bowed slightly and left in a hurry.
Qiuye turned around to prepare things for making tea. Naturally, the maid in Mrs. Zhao's room didn't dare to let her do it for her, so she quickly said to prepare it. He quickly brought the tools and started boiling water and pouring tea powder into the tea bowl.
Aunt Li diverted Mrs. Zhao's attention: "Madam, look, this young lady is becoming more and more sensible, doing things safely and considerately."
Xining also smiled: "I learned a lot from seeing Aunt Li treat my mother well in daily life."
Grandma Li and Mrs. Zhao looked at each other and laughed.
Grandma Li smiled and couldn't close her mouth: "I don't dare to take credit. It's because the young lady has filial piety towards the madam. The madam has helped the young lady make a pair of rabbit skin sleeves for the past few days. I will take it now."
Mrs. Zhao said: "Although it is a little late, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. You can't just hold a hand stove all the time. Make it a little rough, just for you to use at home."
It was indeed a bit rough. Mrs. Zhao was the youngest daughter before she got married, and she loved her every day. Even the wedding clothes and other things for her wedding were all done by her maid and mother-in-law.
Xining touched the gray rabbit fur, put his hands in it, and smiled: "It's so warm and the fur is soft. Mom, I'm sorry for bothering you."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao, who originally thought her daughter would dislike it, was overjoyed.
As she smiled and talked, Mrs. Zhao became more and more comfortable. The anger she had just felt had faded a lot, and she was waiting to have tea with peace of mind and wait for the general to come back.
When General Zhao came back, people who were out looking for people also got news. They said they saw the second young lady, but they had already followed the third prince into a private room in a restaurant. There were guards at the door, so it was not convenient for them to go in.
With this lonely man and widow in the same room, you can know what will happen with your eyes closed. Zhao Yingxue really risked everything in order to become a concubine. He stopped the third prince and went to the private room to "explain it properly".
General Zhao's face was so angry that he picked up a tea bowl on the table and threw it on the ground.
Mrs. Zhao's brows twitched. It didn't matter, it was from the same set that was smashed last time. Anyway, the set is no longer complete. This one was smashed, and there are two more. It would be wise to let General Zhao use this method.
Aunt Li next to her gave her a slight push. After many years of master-servant relationship, Mrs. Zhao naturally understood. He coughed slightly and said: "Ahem, sir, Mrs. Xu is now locked up in Jingxi Courtyard. I don't dare to make the decision, so I will let the master suffer."
General Zhao stood up suddenly and walked out.
