Princess Ancheng immediately opened the door and went in the moment she heard her daughter's voice.
He happened to meet the eyes of his two younger brothers who jumped out of the window to escape.
"..."
Princess Ancheng has rarely seen her brothers since she married into the Hou Mansion. Now she was stunned when she saw Chu Shuanglan and Chu Qingyun.
When she got married, Chu Qingyun was only twelve years old. She was surrounded by people calling her the "Emperor Sister" every day, as if she was a child who hadn't grown up yet. But now five years have passed, and she still hasn't grown up in her memory. My younger brother has grown into a young man wearing bright clothes and angry horses.
And Chu Shuanglan, who used to like to quarrel with her the most, has now changed her temperament, making Princess Ancheng almost afraid to recognize her.
Chu Qingyun was startled by the sudden return of Princess Ancheng. The moment he saw Princess Ancheng, he subconsciously took a step back and said: "Sister Huang, don't be angry, let's leave right now!"
Princess Ancheng's eyes turned red after hearing his words. She didn't know whether she was angry or something.
Chu Shuanglan on the side was also ready to follow, but when she saw the red eyes of Princess Ancheng, she stopped again and frowned: "Sister Huang, who bullied you?"
It can't be that they were angry because they broke into the Marquis's mansion without permission...
Thinking that Chu Shuanglan was silent, it was really possible, and the possibility was even greater. He knew enough not to ask any more questions, and turned around to climb out of the window.
But I heard the nasal voice of Princess Ancheng: "We haven't seen each other for a year and a half, why don't you stay and have dinner with me?"
Princess Ancheng knew that she shouldn't say this, as if she was complaining that her two younger brothers had never seen her. Anyone could blame her for everything that happened in the past five years, whether it was her, Shen Wanqi or Leng Xia, but she could not blame Xinxin Nian Nian. Thinking of her brother and brothers.
But when she saw her two younger brothers acting cautiously in front of her, she felt sour. After enduring it, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Chu Shuanglan and Chu Qingyun were still not sure whether the emperor's sister was angry at them and cried, and what the emperor's sister had just said...
Are you mocking the two of them? Or do you really want to keep them for dinner?
[My two silly uncles probably thought my mother was crying when she saw them. 】
Chu Shuanglan:......
Chu Qingyun:...
Princess Ancheng froze when she heard her daughter's voice, wondering, are her two younger brothers so stupid?
[Actually, no, mother is angry with the maid who betrayed her! 】
[That maid, alas...]
Chu Shuanglan and Chu Qingyun pricked up their ears and prepared to listen carefully, but the little girl made no movement and stared at them with a pair of big eyes.
Chu Shuanglan & Chu Qingyun: What happened to the maid?
Why are not you talking?
Princess Ancheng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and without saying anything that made the two of them uncertain, she directly ordered Mu Chunwu and the two princes to have another meal at noon and prepare more sumptuous meals.
And don’t tell the Marquis.
As soon as these words came out, Chu Shuanglan and the two knew that their imperial sister really wanted to leave them two to eat, but... the two of them looked at each other. They clearly sent someone to the door yesterday and they were kicked out. Why did they get kicked out today? Can you stay for dinner?
Princess Ancheng was aware of the two people's doubts, but she did not inform them of everything that had happened recently, including Leng Xia's incident. The main reason was that Zhizhi's voice did not explain the cause and effect, and she could not tell it to her mouth at all.
And she wanted to find out everything and reveal Shen Wanqi's true face before making any plans.
If several brothers knew about the situation now, they would definitely want to let her reconcile.
However, Shen Wanqi and the woman were not caught red-handed in exchanging babies. Now that this matter was exposed, Shen Wanqi would only find a scapegoat, and he would be innocent.
As for what happened to Leng Xia, Shen Wanqi could find a hundred reasons to refute that Leng Xia did these things under his own instigation.
These alone are not enough to ruin Shen Wanqi's reputation and make her divorce openly.
Princess Jing'an of the previous dynasty killed her maid in anger because her consort had committed adultery with her maid, and was later beaten by her consort.
She went back to the palace angrily and begged for a divorce. The Queen Mother saw that she was covered in scars and immediately allowed her to divorce. However, because of her reputation for being jealous and cruel, she was known for killing her maids. This time she brutally killed her maid again out of jealousy, so she became the leader of both the government and the public. There was a lot of opposition, but the Queen Mother ignored it and took the princess back to the palace.
Therefore, not only was Princess Jing'an's reputation ruined, but the emperor also received petitions one after another to let the two remarry.
In the end, Princess Jing'an was forced to remarry her ex-consort one year after their divorce, and was beaten to death during her pregnancy.
The living example was placed in front of Princess Ancheng, making her more cautious.
[Mom, Zhizhi is so hungry...]
Princess Ancheng was brought back to her senses by Shen Zhizhi's milky voice. She immediately stepped forward and gently picked her up, letting Muchun take her two younger brothers to the front hall.
He was feeding Shen Zhizhi, who was whining and moaning from hunger.
In fact, in addition to the difficulty of reconciliation, Princess Ancheng also had other unspeakable secrets.
She knew in her heart that if she asked for reconciliation, the emperor brother would help her no matter what.
But she has not forgotten that she was the one who insisted on marrying into a poor family. For this reason, she did not hesitate to break up with the emperor's brother and almost bring shame to the emperor's brother and the entire royal family...
If they were to divorce just because of these things without evidence, then the face of the imperial brother and the entire Chu family would really be lost.
And those important members of the aristocratic families will definitely take turns to perform, when the time comes...
For this reason, she needs a chance, a chance when Shen Wanqi's reputation is ruined and she can be upright and reconcile.
What's more, she still doesn't know what Zhizhi means when she says that Shen Wanqi's marriage to her is a huge conspiracy... and what's going on with the illegitimate son taking the throne from his brother.
So she can't reveal her flaws yet, nor can she leave the Hou Mansion.
Shen Zhizhi was so hungry that she burped after eating for a while.
【So full……】
[Mom, go see your uncle~]
After drinking, Shen Zhizhi was extremely excited and waved her little hands to see her two uncles.
Princess Ancheng picked her up after tidying up her clothes and deliberately teased her: "Mother, can you take Zhizhi to see my uncle?"
Shen Zhizhi cheered in her heart:
[Okay, let’s go see my uncle! 】
When Princess Ancheng carried Shen Zhizhi to the front hall, Chu Shuanglan and Chu Qingyun were bickering. Every word you said to me almost brought out what Shen Zhizhi was saying in her heart.
After seeing Princess Ancheng coming, she immediately shut her mouth, sat up straight, and shouted in unison: "Sister Huang."
The three of them sat together and talked about old times, and Princess Ancheng's depressed mood for many days improved a lot.
"Sister Huang, Shen Wanqi didn't bully you, right?" Chu Qingyun looked around at Princess Ancheng and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure she was intact.
Princess Ancheng laughed: "I am the eldest princess, how can he dare to bully me? Besides, with you here, if he dares to bully me, you will inevitably peel off a layer of his skin."
Chu Qingyun muttered in a low voice: "We can't even see your face. Even if you were bullied, we wouldn't know..."
Chu Shuanglan kicked him from below. Chu Qingyun was hurt by the kick and stopped talking.
Princess Ancheng's smile faded, and she felt sorry for her brother who was worried about her, but now was not the time to tell everything.
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu2nidisuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuniu
After hearing these words, Princess Ancheng accidentally knocked over the tea cup in her hand.
Chu Shuanglan also choked and coughed.
Princess Ancheng suddenly learned that the tragic death of her two brothers was unacceptable and accidentally knocked over the cup. Chu Shuanglan choked and coughed after hearing the tragic death of Chu Qingyun.
Among the three, Chu Qingyun was the most arrogant. He already knew how he and Chu Shuanglan would die, so he didn't react much. Instead, he looked at the two of them in confusion.
Princess Ancheng looked at the two younger brothers in front of her who were looking at her eagerly, and couldn't help but blush when she remembered what Zhizhi had just said.
Why on earth did it end up like this!
