In the summer resort, Mother Ma greeted little Duan with a smile on her face.
"The princess went to the palace to accompany the empress dowager. She said she would come back tomorrow."
"There are mountains outside and water in the village. It's a good place. When the princess comes, let her tell you about it."
"You can live here with peace of mind, for ten days and a half."
"Only staying for three or five days? Oh, you can't do that. Your Majesty will misunderstand that the manpower in the village is not good enough, and you won't be able to stay here."
Mother Ma told her everything that Lin Yunyan told her, coaxing little Duan to smile, and then she left the room to find Mrs. Chen.
It was rare for Mrs. Chen to not have to worry about her husband, so she and her sister-in-law added Lin Yunfang, who was good at this, so they could play horse games at the same table.
Lin Yunjing sat on the edge, embroidering her red hijab.
Mrs. Chen had just won a game and was in a good mood. When she saw Grandma Ma coming in with a sullen face, she couldn't help but be startled.
"Is something going on in the house?" she asked, "Is Yun Yan sick?"
Mother Ma didn't answer, but looked here and there.
Mrs. Chen quickly turned away all the people waiting on her.
The fourth lady Yuan and Mrs. Huang exchanged glances. Did they also avoid it?
Aunt Ma stepped forward and said, "Listen, ladies, it's the third girl..."
Lin Yunfang said "Hey" and when Mrs. Chen looked at her, she reluctantly got up and went out.
Mother Ma said: "Something happened to the third son of Duke Xu, and the scandal became known to everyone."
Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Chen suddenly turned their heads to look at the mother and daughter of the second wife.
Huang, who had moved to sit next to her daughter, suddenly held Lin Yunjing's hand.
The princess promised that Yun Jing had a way to disrupt the adulterous marriage. Could it be that the princess took action?
Lin Yunjing's heart was also pounding.
What Lin Yunyan said before going up the mountain was deeply remembered in her mind: she would not let her grandmother see foreigners, and she would not let her return home.
She looked at her two aunts.
Mother Ma's arrival must have been ordered by Yun Yan, so she would actively win over her aunts and keep her grandmother isolated in Zhuangzi no matter what.
Even though she was prepared in her heart, Lin Yunjing was still so shocked that she almost couldn't breathe after hearing the whole story from Mother Ma.
Outer room? A little boy? widow?
Except for the widow who was not present, there were five people who crowded into the West Street to fight last night?
Mother and the others were so busy that even one table could not seat five people!
No, no, no, this is not a matter of a few people, but she simply cannot accept that her husband is such a dirty person!
"Yun, Yun Jing..." Huang's voice was shaking violently. If she hadn't been sitting down, she might have been unable to stand and would have fallen down.
Mrs. Chen couldn't care about digestion and was busy trying to comfort Mrs. Huang.
No one in the family knows how much the second sister-in-law values this marriage!
Unexpectedly, Gao Pan's uncle actually...
Oops, she didn’t even know how to persuade her sister-in-law.
Yuan was also stunned, but when she heard a pop, Lin Yunjing knelt down in front of them.
"I won't marry him!" Lin Yunjing gritted her teeth, "Mom, aunt, I won't marry that kind of person. If I do, it won't be a shame for me, and the face of our sincere family will be lost!"
Yuan was excited and hurriedly went to help her.
Lin Yunjing did not get up and continued: "Not only did his family do scandalous things, but they also came to the door early in the morning to make my grandmother bow her head. If we hadn't happened to be away at home, we would have really tricked them.
I think they will definitely come here. When the time comes, please don't let anyone open the door. We won't see visitors.
If my grandmother finds out, she will..."
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she became anxious: "The old lady is nice, but she doesn't love you, so why would she let you get married like this?"
"Grandma can't, but grandma is uncomfortable," Lin Yunjing sniffed, "Grandma would rather embarrass herself than make me feel wronged, but how can I be willing to make grandma uncomfortable? Yun Yan has already gone to the palace to beg the empress dowager, so we will Wait until the queen comes to decide."
Upon hearing this, Mother Ma immediately beat the drum: "Madams, don't worry, the princess will definitely be able to ask for your grace. Your Majesty won't like someone as shameless as Su San! The eldest lady is very reasonable. Our old lady Her body is in serious condition, let her rest more."
Huang also stood up tremblingly.
Yun Jing didn't say that she had made an agreement with the princess, so she just pretended to be ignorant.
She was just afraid, extremely afraid.
If Yun Jing hadn't discussed it with the princess in a down-to-earth manner, the princess would not have delayed the two families from discussing the marriage.
If Su Ke was not a bastard, the princess would not have been able to make something out of thin air and expose the scandal.
If Su Ke's true identity hadn't been discovered before the marriage, how could things have gone better when Yun Jing entered Duke Xu's house?
Breaking off the engagement and getting divorced are two different things!
Yun Jing has been stuck in such a quagmire all her life...
Thinking of the tragic situation her daughter would face, Mrs. Huang shed tears: "Third and fourth younger siblings, I beg you too, I can't say anything to let Yun Jing marry her. Keep this matter secret from the old lady for now. Let's see." Let’s see what the palace says.”
Having said all that, how could there be any reason not to agree?
In the afternoon, Mrs. Xu Guogong came up the mountain.
This time, she got a solid rejection.
It just so happened that this was the Empress Dowager's Zhuangzi. The gatekeepers and those who refused were all people from Zhuangzi, and none of them had the surname Lin.
She couldn't have a seizure or break through, so she could only go back to the city in despair.
On the other hand, Prince Xu Guogong went to Shuntian Mansion in person and made some progress.
The two waiters were probably not busy enough. When Su Shizi asked, they answered, detailing the figure and appearance of the steward who came last night.
The painter drew some portraits based on their confessions.
The Su family took the portrait and went to West Street to inquire, as if they would not stop until they turned the person over.
Xu Guogong thought about it and couldn't let go of Su Ke, so he ordered two people to watch outside Uncle Chengyi's house. He couldn't let this brat escape.
Su Ke could not escape, so he could only bask in the sun from morning to night, and was fed some water by the boy.
Xu Guogong himself could not escape.
At the fourth watch, he walked towards the ground with heavy steps.
Ordinarily, the censors were in trouble yesterday, so today will be easier than yesterday...
Until the old censors made three mistakes in a row, Xu Guogong's luck was gone.
He stood in the center of the hall, being scrutinized by all the court officials, and was scolded bloody by the loud-voiced old censors.
In the queue, Xu Jian raised his eyes, his emotionless eyes slid over Xu Guogong, and then he looked back slowly.
He could see the dissatisfaction that Duke Xu was trying to hide, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
Having said that, the old censor at the head did not mean to make things difficult.
It was obvious that the old man went to bed too early the night before and had no idea what happened that night. He didn't hear about it until he went to court the next day, so he didn't have time to write a scolding note.
This will be made up for today.
To make matters worse, Xu Guogong's mansion also added new things to talk about.
Yesterday, I went to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion to apologize early in the morning. I didn't see the old lady, but I provoked Lin Yunyan. All the dirty thoughts underneath were exposed by the little princess.
I heard that the parents and sons who were going there in a carriage were surprised that they didn't get any advantage from Lin Yunyan.
Tsk!
After the old censor finished cursing, someone else followed.
Yesterday, when Xu Guo announced his holiday, they were scolding them with all their strength. But things are different today. The person involved is here, so why don't they just do it in a pompous manner?
Seeing the emperor's brows getting tighter and tighter, Xu Guogong knelt down in fear.
Xu Jian couldn't help but laugh, and wrote "so happy" on her face.
