After Wu Shaoyin left Wu Shaoyin in anger, Shen Hua did not stay for long. Xue Shuyue pushed her back.
However, when passing by the rockery on the way, I heard the maid at the house whispering.
"Is Mrs. Chengbohou really here?"
"How can this be fake? Although I handed over the greeting card, my mistress has already ordered that she will not see any foreign guests in recent days. It's a good thing that she can't leave unless she is outside. She doesn't know what she is thinking. However, her high status cannot drive her away. , the mistress had no choice but to invite someone in."
"Isn't she recuperating from illness? Princess Youning stole someone, and her mother-in-law had to go to the palace to invite her back. The princess didn't follow up and was scolded by the Queen Mother. How could she end up in our house? "
Xue Shuyue was not surprised, curled her lips and pushed Shen Hua away.
Shen Hua hasn’t heard enough yet!
The girl frowned and said slowly: "Stop."
Xue Shuyue:?
"I met those two very late."
Shen Hua stood up and said calmly: "You wait here, I'll catch up and come back."
Xue Shuyue:???You treat me like a maid!
The commotion here naturally reached the ears of those talkative maids. By the time Shen Hua passed by, no one was there, obviously because they were afraid of being punished.
Shen Hua had no choice but to walk back lazily with her head hanging down.
"Isn't it just Mrs. Chengbohou's little trouble that deserves this from you?"
Xue Shuyue gritted her teeth.
"Mrs. Prince Gong has often come to the Marquis Mansion over the years, and she has always been interested in competing with the mistress. Now, the story about my cousin being charmed by some charming girl has become a legend. But in the end, there is no matchmaker or recruiter. Naturally, she wants to catch him. Opportunity knocks on your doorstep.”
Shen Hua worked hard to piece together all the information, including what she saw and heard when she was Xue Tuan. Then she thought deeply.
"According to what you said, she killed two birds with one stone."
"?what for?"
Shen Hua glanced at her with disgust. What a fool.
"She has an unusual status. How can she keep claiming to be sick? If word spread to the palace, the Queen Mother would inevitably be angry."
Whether it is a real illness or a fake illness, it only lasts for one or two days, but it can be done one or two times, and if it lasts for a long time, the Queen Mother will naturally be dissatisfied.
This is the fate of those who seek to marry the princess.
Xue Shuyue suddenly realized.
"That's what you said! She was high-spirited, but she never walked away. She stayed outside for a long time, and I'm afraid many people passing by saw her. She did it for the Queen Mother to see."
"Right now, the Hou Mansion is at the cusp of the storm. They suppressed the princess's scandal, and also suppressed the Jing Mansion's death case. She is afraid that she is eager to do this."
The charming lady Shen Hua in her mouth did not feel guilty at all because of the incident that caused a storm in the city after being drunk.
She even felt that Cui Yun was considerate. He covered her face and protected her reputation so that no one would know it was her.
As expected, he is someone who wants to be a cousin!
She said calmly: "Cousin, he is famous for not being flirtatious with women, which is why everyone stopped to chat. In the end, those people are just trying to find something new, and the world is tolerant to men. In a few days, there will be no more in our Marquis Mansion. I’m afraid no one will comment anymore.”
Shen Hua: "At that time, those who should talk about Jingfu will continue to talk about Jingfu, and those who should laugh at Mrs. Chengbohou will continue to laugh at Mrs. Chengbohou."
"What is she proud of?"
Xue Shuyue was stunned for a while, but she had to say that she was enlightened by a few words of advice. She couldn't help but murmured: "You are quite smart."
Shen Hua took it for granted: "This is natural, do you want you to tell me?"
Xue Shuyue:......
"I think the mistress will be angry again this time. You have never seen Mrs. Cheng Bohou, who is the best at putting on airs. The last time I greeted her, her eyes were slanted."
Not to mention her, even Qiao Si was not very warm.
"She always shows off her daughter-in-law as the princess, as if she is incomparable to ten thousand of our cousins-in-law, bah!"
Shen Hua didn't believe that Cui Xuan could be bullied by outsiders in her own house.
After all, she was born as a noble girl, and she was confident and strong-willed. Mrs. Cheng Bohou could not gain much benefit. Every time she came to the palace, she never got pleasure from Cui Xuanshi.
Princess Youning had a very bad temper. Shen Hua remembered seeing her spirit leaving her body once.
So, what does Mrs. Cheng Bohou want?
————
Cui Yun's incident caused a lot of trouble not only in Cui's residence, but also in Fu Guogong's residence.
As soon as Xie Xun was about to leave the house, he was stopped by Fu Guogong and his wife.
"Although the news of the fifth princess returning home has not spread, it is most likely true. Otherwise, the Cui family boy would never have caused trouble at this juncture. He has a noble character. How could he be like this in normal times? It's obvious. It’s for the royal family. In my father’s opinion, the royal family’s princess is also out of reach of our Xie family.”
Mrs. Fuguogong was even more worried: "Your marriage must be decided as soon as possible. This time you returned early, and the emperor didn't know about it. If he had known about it, he might have summoned you to the palace."
It’s not surprising that the two of them were like this.
Preventing problems before they happen is one thing, and the fifth princess is born from a queen, has an extreme temperament, and is not suitable for being a woman.
Why should Xie Jiazi ruin his future by marrying a princess?
Duke Fu: "This boy from the Cui family made a sure move, but he didn't inform us in advance. Although the two families are not close friends, he is in the same situation as you, so I, the Xie family, should be prepared!" "
Xie Xun suddenly realized.
What I saw last night was actually a show performed by Cui Yun.
The people in the palace, the Xie family and even the entire Shengjing became actors in the play.
He's quite a ruthless person.
"My son knows this well."
Mrs. Fu Guogong sighed softly: "You have not returned home in the past few years. The barbarian enemies have attacked, and the battle at the frontier has been going on for a full year. Although it was a great victory, the third prince was successfully brought back, but... But my mother is worried every day."
There was no eye on the battlefield, and she was afraid that Xie Xun would get another wound on his body, and that one more wound would endanger his life.
"Brother Xun, the war has been intense this year, and you have repeatedly postponed the marriage in the past few years. I originally thought that my husband has ambitions in all directions and there is no need to rush it, but now-"
Xie Xun fell silent.
"It's up to you, mother."
He said indifferently: "In the worst case, what's the harm if I really marry that princess?"
"Don't say depressing words!"
Xie Xun smiled: "You two elders can make the decision. My son is really going out."
Duke Fu frowned.
"Keep your whereabouts hidden. Don't go looking for Prince Gong again! He has become more and more ridiculous in recent years. Don't get too close to him. Prince Gong has plans to recruit you as his son-in-law."
The fifth princess's return to Shengjing was revealed to him privately by Prince Gong after he went to court today.
Prince Gong's meaning is obvious enough.
Xie Xun strode out: "I know."
After sending someone to Dali Temple to deliver the message, he went to Mingting Yage.
The private room was very well hidden, but he couldn't bear the sensitivity of his ears, so he could clearly hear what was going on next door.
"What, Mr. Wei, you actually want to get a wife?"
"The elders in the family really love you, and they actually promised you the Yan family's wife? The Yan family's wife from the Admiral's residence?"
"You are doing something big in silence!"
