When Chu Yunfei arrived at Haitang Courtyard, Mrs. Chu had just finished breakfast. Aunt Chen had arrived an hour ago. After greeting Mrs. Chu and serving tea, she had been waiting by her side.
The attitude of humility and respect has not been seen in ten years.
Mrs. Chu looked at her coy pretense with cold eyes and said, "You don't have to put on such a posture. I have made up my mind. It's useless to say anything."
Aunt Chen stiffened, then lowered her eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to say anything, I just want to tell my wife that although the master has been demoted, he has been working in the Ministry of Household Affairs for so many years, and he has some foundation in the court. As long as he is still there, Chao, I can always help the King of War and the Princess in some way in the future. I hope Madam will take it for the Princess’s sake——”
"You mean if I make peace with him, Feier will no longer be his daughter?" Mrs. Chu looked indifferent, "Are you threatening me?"
"I dare not..."
"The King of War has a noble status, holds great power, and is extremely powerful. He needs the help of a small head of the etiquette department?" Mrs. Chu sneered, "What a joke."
Aunt Chen lowered her head and said: "There is always a possibility of eventuality in everything..."
"Mother." Chu Yunfei stepped into the door, raised her eyes and saw that Aunt Chen was also there, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Aunt Chen has been very respectful recently."
"See you, Princess." Aunt Chen bowed and saluted, "I am here to serve you."
"Bitch concubine?" Chu Yunfei chuckled, "Aunt Chen has relied on her father's preference all these years and never looked down on her mother. How come she suddenly knows that she has a low status today?"
Aunt Chen looked embarrassed for a moment, then she forced a smile and said: "Madam is the mistress of the house, and I am just a concubine. Although I used to compete for favors and act coquettishly, I always know the right rules in my heart, and I know that Madam is the mistress of this family."
Mrs. Chu said coldly: "You go out first."
Aunt Chen froze, then bent her knees and saluted: "I hope the princess will advise you, madam, to put the overall situation first."
Chu Yunfei ignored her.
Aunt Chen suppressed her displeasure, smiled, turned around and walked out.
"During the dispute yesterday, both father and mother may have been a little impulsive. After one night, I wonder if mother has changed her mind." Chu Yunfei brushed her clothes and sat down opposite Mrs. Chu. "If mother is willing to reconcile, I will still fully support her. .Although children should not persuade their parents to divorce or reconcile, it is okay not to have such a selfish and heartless father."
Mrs. Chu leaned on the couch: "I thought about it for half a night last night, and divorce is the only option at the moment."
When she was young, she was blind and blind. In the following ten years, she had no choice but to endure because she had no way out.
But now she has had enough and doesn't want to continue being a coward.
"Zi Yi ordered someone to deliver a message last night, saying that he hopes I will go back to Langya City with him." Madam Chu narrowed her eyes and laughed at herself, "How can a selfish and unfilial daughter like me be worth worrying about for so many years?"
Chu Yunfei said: "Fathers and mothers can never give up their love for their children easily. Besides, my grandfather and grandmother are getting older day by day, and they don't want to have any regrets in this life."
Mrs. Chu hummed: "I plan to go back with Ziyi in three days. Regardless of whether your father agrees to the divorce or not, I will go back."
"Um."
"It would be great if he agrees, but if he doesn't agree, Langya City will always find a way to make him agree." Mrs. Chu said, raising her eyes to look at Chu Yunfei, "You and the King of War should not interfere in this matter. Emperor At your feet, I don’t know how many people are staring at the King of War... If someone is caught and impeached again, it will not be good for you."
Chu Yunfei was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
"When I go back to Langya City with Ziyi, you can let Chu Yuxiao go without hurting him." Madam Chu said in a complicated tone, "Chu Yuanzhong was demoted from his official position, and his available value to the imperial concubine and King Chen became more and more important." Xiao, Chu Yuxiao can't stand this gap, he will commit suicide."
So there is no need to dirty your hands for something that is not on the table.
Chu Yunfei said nothing, silently raising his head and looking out the window.
Rong Cang stood on the corridor outside the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, looking into the distance without saying a word. His black robe made him tall and tall, with great momentum, and his whole body seemed to be filled with innate calmness and nobility.
The corner of Chu Yunfei's mouth raised slightly, a touch of warmth flashed across his eyes, and then he looked away.
Rong Cang did not enter the room to disturb the mother and daughter talking, but he was silently guarding his beloved not far away.
Mrs. Chu chatted with Chu Yunfei for about an hour, and told her daughter one by one what was in her heart. It was not that she was soft-hearted, but she just didn't want the King of War to get into troubled waters because of a trivial matter.
Because the emperor is considering establishing a heir, the DPRK is at a critical moment, and all forces are ready to make moves. King Chen and King Yu are always watching for their leverage. The more low-key you act now, the better. Even if you cannot become famous, you must prevent it. Being splashed with sewage.
Chu Yunfei listened to her careful instructions and nodded in response.
I don't know whether it was to avoid He Li, or because the Ministry of Rites was really busy with affairs, but Chu Yuanzhong had not returned until noon.
Madam Chu was about to leave Chu Yunfei and Rong Cang at home for lunch when the steward of Prince Zhan's Mansion suddenly sent a message: "The prince, princess, and concubine were assassinated and injured in the prince's palace!"
The sudden news came as a surprise.
Chu Yunfei almost didn't hesitate at all, and immediately judged that the "assassination injury" was a man-made accident.
A little concubine, who was staying in the Yilan Courtyard of Prince Zhan's Mansion and couldn't even get out of the courtyard, went to the trouble of allowing an assassin to enter the mansion with great fanfare to assassinate her?
What an unexpected and perverse surprise.
Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei looked at each other and decided to go back for a visit first. They said goodbye to Madam Chu and quickly returned to the palace in a carriage.
Get off the carriage and step through the gate.
When he saw a person walking out of the palace in a hurry, Chu Yunfei paused slightly and looked at the panicked Princess Chen: "When did the Sixth Emperor's Wife come to the palace?"
Seeing Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei suddenly coming back, Princess Chen's expression changed slightly, and then she said awkwardly: "I...I came here today to invite my younger siblings for tea. They said that my younger siblings have gone back to their parents' home, so I thought I would wait here. Now, I didn’t expect...I didn’t expect that an assassin would come to the palace..."
At this point, she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly turned to look at Rong Cang. Seeing that he was intact, a wave of panic suddenly filled her heart.
Is he okay?
Chu Yunjiao was scratched on his arm and was dripping with blood, but Rong Cang actually acted like he was fine?
The nun behind Princess Chen said: "The princess was frightened, and we couldn't help here, so... we decided to go back first..."
Princess Chen came back to her senses instantly, lowered her head to hide the panic and shock in her eyes, and nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect that there would be assassins coming in the clear day..."
Chu Yunfei stared at her calmly: "There will be no posts in the future. Please, Princess Chen, please do not set foot in Prince Zhan's Mansion without authorization. After all, the master is not at home. If an accident happens to you in the Prince's Mansion, we will not be able to tell the difference."
Princess Chen froze, then forced a smile: "It's my fault."
After saying that, he hurriedly left with his grandma and maid.
