"Both of them have just had their babies and are still recuperating. Your aunt can't find a chance even if she wants to!"
"Don't worry, mother, the matter in the East Palace will be handled by His Highness the Crown Prince!"
His cousin has been named the prince since he ascended the throne, but he is not as gentle and harmless as he appears.
What's more, on the hunting ground, the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, the Maoguo Duke's Mansion, and his direct cousin, were either in danger or seriously injured. The people who had the trouble were all from the Crown Prince's side, plus what happened in the East Palace. There are too many "lost troops and generals" on the prince's side.
Your Majesty has favored the Fourth Prince over the years, and seems to have a desire to save money. However, if the East Palace family is really suppressed severely, His Majesty will not tolerate the dominance of the Fourth Prince's family.
"It's just hard for me to see your aunt these years..."
Gu Yunqing sighed, and just as he was talking, Xingyun appeared at the door with fists clasped.
There was a look of anxiety on his face.
"What happened?"
Gu Yunqing asked.
"Back to Madam and Fifth Young Master, Madam Mao Guogong is here and is now in the Young Master's yard!"
"What is she doing in Ajiu's yard?"
When Gu Yunqing heard that her stepdaughter was back, she felt bored, and when she heard about her son's yard, she felt a little confused.
However, the stepdaughter was used to causing trouble, and this time she didn't know what the fuss was about, so she hurriedly got up to go over.
"Mom, slow down!"
Rong Jiu knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he stepped forward to help Gu Yunqing himself.
Not knowing what his stepdaughter would do, Gu Yunqing walked very fast.
"Come here, slap this bitch's mouth for me!"
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he heard Rong Hui's sharp voice inside.
Gu Yunqing frowned, while Rong Jiu's eyes darkened.
After entering the door, in the corridor, Tao Ye was being protected by Nan Yun, and several maids brought by Rong Hui were about to pull people forward.
In the courtyard, Zhao Jin stood by and laughed and persuaded: "Auntie, please calm down. This maid offended you with her inappropriate words. She deserves to be punished, but after all, her identity is different from others..."
"She is just a humble maid, how can she still be a master?"
When Rong Hui saw Tao Ye's beautiful face, she thought of the outer room that her husband brought into the house.
Because she was pregnant, her parents-in-law and husband were protecting her, so she could only hold it in her heart.
"Why are you still standing there? Why do you want me to teach you a lesson like this?"
Rong Hui was immersed in her anger and did not notice that there were more people at the entrance of the courtyard.
The maids next to Rong Hui obviously knew their master's temperament. After hearing this, they were ready to rush forward and drag Tao Ye out.
The boys in the yard were thinking about Tao Ye's identity, and two of them wanted to stop her. However, seeing that Zhao Jin, the steward in the yard, did not speak, they did not dare to move without permission.
"stop!"
Gu Yunqing entered the courtyard with a calm face.
"lady!"
"Fifth Young Master!"
In the courtyard, the servants of the Duke's Mansion were busy giving gifts to the two of them. The maid next to Rong Hui also wanted to salute, but after seeing the look on her master's face, she still didn't move.
"Why did Mrs. Mao Guo go to the mansion today?"
Gu Yunqing was too lazy to pay attention to the rudeness of those around her stepdaughter.
He let his son help him to the main seat in the main hall and sat down.
"What do you mean by this, madam? This is also my mother's home. I can go back if I want."
Rong Hui never paid much attention to Gu Yunqing, and she believed that she was the wife of the eldest son of Maoguo Duke's palace. Her status as stepmother did not allow her to sit next to Gu Yunqing.
"It is a filial duty for an eldest sister to come back to visit her father and mother, but why did she end up with her younger brother?"
Rong Jiu lifted up her robe and sat down under Gu Yunqing.
"You think I'm willing to come here? If it weren't for your evil intentions, which caused Chengdu to lose an arm in the hunting ground, and now almost half his life is gone, I wouldn't even bother to talk to an unfilial and disloyal person like you!"
Rong Hui and Prince Mao Guo were in the same bed in the early years, but in the past two years, Prince Mao Guo simply refused to enter her yard.
Her mother-in-law was not satisfied with her either, but since her father was there and her temper was unforgiving, her mother-in-law just said a few words casually.
But since the night before last, when the third uncle Chengdu was carried back from the hunting ground covered in blood, everyone in the Maoguo Duke's mansion was almost upset. The mother-in-law already doted on the young son, and when she heard that the third uncle was injured like this, he would still be five years old. Regarding her younger brother, the look that fell on her wanted to tear her apart.
Several sisters-in-law and unmarried sisters-in-law also used this to ridicule themselves.
How has she ever been wronged like this?
And because her stepmother did not want to go to Mao Guogong's mansion to make a case, she was excused to recuperate, so she had no choice but to watch the charming concubine, who already had a child in her belly, enter the mansion openly.
The combination of old and new grudges led to Rong Hui's trouble today.
"What evil intentions are there? It's the Wei family who are causing trouble in the hunting ground and killing people. If you want to help your brother-in-law vent his anger, just bring your people from Duke Mao to the Wei Mansion. Why are you so crazy here!"
Gu Yunqing usually didn't bother to care about Rong Hui's disrespectful attitude. When she entered the palace, her stepdaughter was already at the age of a governor. She was instigated by people around her and targeted him everywhere. Rong Yanbo was extremely protective of his legitimate daughter, and the two had a falling out. A lot of dissatisfaction.
She later became too lazy to take care of her, and her stepdaughter developed such an unpleasant temper under the instigation of people around her.
But if she dares to insult her son, she will definitely be worth every penny.
"Madam, what do you mean? I heard from the servants in the mansion that when the wolves came, Chengdu was hiding behind him, but he was pushed forward by the fifth brother. Could it be that this was not what the fifth brother did intentionally!"
"The Duke of Mao and the Crown Princess have always supported the eldest brother in taking the position of the heir apparent. The fifth brother and his wife are not happy to think about it, but even if they have resentment in their hearts, they should not be so vicious!"
Rong Hui snorted heavily.
Gu Yunqing was not a gentle and docile person, but as the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, she had good manners and manners. Now hearing her stepdaughter's nonsense, she was really angry.
"Madam, drink some tea to moisten your skin!"
Just as Rong Jiu was about to speak, Tao Ye came in with a tray, first served Gu Yunqing a cup of tea, and then walked up to Rong Jiu: "Fifth Young Master!"
The second one was placed in Rong Jiu's hand.
Rong Jiu raised her head and glanced at the little maid's arm, then looked at Gu Yunqing who was looking up with a smile: "Mother, take a sip of tea to calm down first, don't hurt your body!"
Rong Hui saw the three masters in the room. Only she had no tea in front of her, and her face turned green and red.
"Bad maid!"
He caught a glimpse of the white jade lotus petal plate on the agarwood table in the middle, picked it up and threw it at Tao Ye.
After a moment, the white jade plate shattered to the ground, but only at Rong Hui's feet.
Following the exclamation of the maid next to her, Rong Hui was also frightened and leaned back on the chair.
If it weren't for the maid next to him, the plate would fall on him.
After being frightened, anger boiled on his face. He brushed away the maid's hand and stood up suddenly, pointing at Rong Jiu: "How dare you..."
