Chapter 497: Besieged
"Yuan Qingyue took poison?"
Liu Yunxiang was startled and couldn't help but look back at Yan Mu.
Yan Mu showed no expression and just asked: "How are you doing?"
"Fortunately, the maid next to her found out in time and took the poisonous pill out of her mouth, but she still called a doctor, but for some reason, the news spread. At that time, someone came from the eldest princess's house and took Yuan Xiang to the hospital.
The concubine took her away," Jinyan said.
Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, "She can still dig out what she has eaten. She really can't bear to let herself go. Even in the middle of the night, the news can reach the eldest princess's house. This cooperation is quite good."
But the eldest princess, if she interferes with the family affairs of the Zhenbei Palace, she might cause trouble for her.
"That's all, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Liu Yunxiang pulled Tuoba Fei'er home. "Take a shower first, and I'll let the kitchen prepare something delicious for you."
Tuoba Feier rubbed her stomach, "I've been hungry for two days."
Liu Yunxiang was funny, "Why did you make yourself so miserable?"
"It's not him!" Tuoba Feier pointed at Yan Mu, "I just ate two more buns, and she sold me to the stupid son of the bun shop owner as his wife!"
Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu, "Did you really do this?"
Yan Mu was speechless, "She said the buns from the bun shop were delicious. She ate them for three days in a row, but she still refused to go with me. I said if you don't leave, I will take the stupid son who sold the bun shop to my wife, okay?
She actually agreed to eat steamed buns for the rest of her life. At that time, I was in a hurry to chase you, so I could only leave some money for her to catch up quickly."
"I didn't see any silver."
"Heh, I guess people just walked away."
Tuoba Feier hummed in grievance, "I am your savior, how could you do this to me?"
"Yes, without you, I wouldn't have wasted half a year to get to Zhenbei."
"Then I'll take care of you..."
"Are you sure you're the one taking care of me?"
Tuoba Feier felt guilty. She touched her nose and said, "I want to repay Sister Yunxiang's life-saving grace. Otherwise, I wouldn't care about you. You have such a bad temper and you look so annoying."
"Thank you for hating me."
"you!"
Yan Mu ignored Tuoba Feier and walked towards the backyard with his arms folded.
"He, he hates me so much?" Tuoba Feier was a little hurt. After all, she was someone she had been with for several months.
Liu Yunxiang patted Tuoba Fei'er's hand and said with a smile: "If he really hated you, he wouldn't have said so much to you. He just sincerely regards you as his friend."
Tuoba Feier curled her lips, "Really?"
"certainly."
Liu Yunxiang settled Tuoba Fei'er, and when she returned to the west room, Yan Mu was already lying on the bed and asleep. Liu Yunxiang sighed, Yuan Qingyue's matter really gave her a headache.
As she expected, early the next morning, a message came from the eldest princess's mansion asking her to come over.
The eldest princess hated her so much that she had an affair with Murong Lingyi, and she would definitely take advantage of it to punish her this time.
After freshening up and having breakfast, Liu Yunxiang came to the door of the eldest princess's mansion and saw a row of carriages parked outside. Her mind wandered, anticipating that she might have to fight a tough battle later.
There was a maid waiting at the door of the house, leading her to the backyard.
Arriving at the main hall of the east courtyard, Liu Yunxiang walked in and saw that the hall was full of people, all of whom were women in gorgeous clothes. She glanced at it and probably knew what was going on.
These people are the Duke's wife, the Hou's wife, and the uncle's wives from the Eighth Family. Yuan Qingyue is a girl from the Changbo Mansion, and these people are here to support her.
Looking further forward, the eldest princess is sitting upright with a stern face. She has aged much, and her hair on her temples has turned gray again.
Back then, in order to vent her anger on Murong Lingyi, the eldest princess completely broke up with Yan Mu. Later, she threatened her with the life of the child in her belly, forcing her to go to the palace to plead for Yan Mu. She gritted her teeth and endured the anger back then.
.Today, as things change, she will no longer tolerate old and new hatreds.
Liu Yunxiang took another look at Murong Lingyi, who was sitting next to the eldest princess. Her forehead was still wrapped with fine cloth because she was injured. She was smiling at her, and the smile was very proud, as if she had her life and death in her hands.
.
Yuan Qingyue was also there. She was sitting where the eldest princess was, lowering her head and wiping away tears, looking fragile and vulnerable.
"Ms. Liu, I haven't seen you for three years, but you are as domineering as ever!" The eldest princess slapped the table hard, "You had Princess Zhaohua beaten, and you forced Concubine Yuan to take poison. I really thought that no one was there.
Can I manage you?"
Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment and said: "Eldest Princess, don't you want to distinguish between right and wrong and you want to convict me?"
"Oh, you are the Princess of Zhenbei, and you are so majestic. How can I dare to convict you? Today, all the ladies from aristocratic families are here. In front of them, I beg you. I beg you to tolerate Concubine Yuan."
Liu Yunxiang pursed her lips. Was this not giving her a chance to defend herself?
"I did not let Concubine Yuan take the poison."
"You forced me to do that too!"
A woman wearing a bluestone-colored coat stood up. She was over sixty years old. She wore an jade robe on her forehead. Her hair was already gray, but her face was rosy and she was extremely well-maintained.
Liu Yunxiang knew that this person was the old lady of Dingyuan Hou Mansion.
The eight aristocratic families are closely related, and in order to ensure that there is no conflict of interest, the aristocratic families marry each other. She remembers that the old lady of Dingyuan Marquis is the sister of Yuan Qingyue's grandmother, who is also Yuan Qingyue's great-aunt.
In her previous life, she had often dealt with the ladies of these aristocratic families and was familiar with them. Especially this old lady, she had scolded her a lot in her previous life, but she endured it all for the sake of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
The old lady of Dingyuan Marquis walked up to her and stared at her with deep eyes, "A good girl will never marry again. You are a widow first, but you live with another man and have a secret pregnancy. When your husband returns home, you make trouble again."
The family was restless, causing the Marquis of Jing'an to fall into disgrace and lose his title.
You, a shameless and immoral woman like you, would have been immersed in a pig cage or beaten into an official prostitute, but you still have the nerve to occupy the position of Princess of Zhenbei, and even forced the concubine who married into the palace to take poison.
What a sinister and vicious woman!”
Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes. The old lady of Dingyuan Hou lost her husband when she was young and has been a widow all her life. She even hired a chastity memorial arch for herself, as if she felt it was an honor. She would come to scold any woman who wanted to make peace with them.
When a widowed woman wants to get married for the second time, she scolds her even more fiercely, hoping that everyone will imitate her.
She said that it was just because she had suffered so much that she felt that others should suffer the same way as she did!
"That's not all. Back then, she was a concubine for Lu Changan and now King Suping! One woman and three men. Her ability to seduce men is even better than that foxy one!" Murong Lingyi added contemptuously.
.
"It's so shameless!" Madam Dingyuanhou pointed at Liu Yunxiang's nose and cursed.
Others also echoed, "Who doesn't know that about her? Three men wear a pair of broken shoes."
"Oh, it's really embarrassing to hear."
"No, I really want to tear her face off to see how thick it is."
