Aunt Xi helped her sit down and comforted her: "Don't worry first. Ah Si is talking nonsense. He must be locked in a darkroom. Although adult princes are not allowed to spend the night in the palace, there are other princes in the palace.
, he can stay with the Eighth Prince for one night, or he may also go to the Supreme Emperor's place."
How can Yuan Qingling's heart be calm? He has already suffered once in the darkroom, will he endure it again?
She couldn't help but resent the cruelty of this old man. Why did he treat the fifth child like this? Who cares about the prince who is a laborer?
Ah Si didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and looked at Aunt Xi for help.
Aunt Xi sighed, "Let's do this. I'll go to the alley outside Chu's house earlier and watch to see when the chief assistant will come back."
"Thank you, grandma." Yuan Qingling said gratefully.
"Princess, please don't say such polite words to me. You have a good rest. Don't really get pregnant at this critical moment." Grandma advised.
Yuan Qing Ling nodded casually and returned to her parents' home. Although she had always pretended to be calm, her heart was still very confused. Now that she didn't know the news about Lao Wu, her heart seemed to collapse all of a sudden.
Aunt Xi said a few words of comfort and then went out.
She didn't go to the Chu family either. She just waited outside the alley. She waited for almost two hours. She didn't see the chief minister's sedan slowly approaching until her whole body was frozen.
She breathed a sigh of relief and walked out to stop him.
After the sedan came down, the chief assistant opened the curtain and saw Aunt Xi standing in the middle of the road, shivering from the cold. Her face and lips were all white from the cold, and her body was swaying.
The chief assistant immediately came down, his face was livid, and he shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Don't you know how cold it is?"
Aunt Xi was so cold that she couldn't open her lips. She finally regained her breath and said, "I have something to ask you for."
"Go into the house and talk!" Chu Shoufu glanced at her coldly, took off his coat and put it on her, "Let's go!"
Aunt Xi took it off and said, "No need..."
Chu Shoufu glanced over with a cold look, veins pulsing on his forehead, "You dare?"
Aunt Xi immediately lowered her hands, not daring to do so.
"Still not leaving? Are you waiting to freeze to death?" Chu Shoufu grabbed her wrist and walked forward.
Aunt Xi quickly broke away and said, "I'll go by myself. I'll go by myself. It won't be good if there are too many people."
Chu Shoufu walked in front with his hands behind his back angrily, and Aunt Xi followed suit every step of the way.
After entering the mansion, the concierge greeted him, and Chu Shoufu said in a sullen voice: "Immediately order someone to prepare ginger soup and hot water."
The concierge was startled for a moment, and hurriedly responded before Chu Shoufu glanced at him with a cold look.
"Run!" Chu Shoufu roared behind him.
The concierge ran away quickly.
Chu Shoufu led Grandma Xi into the study and ordered her to use the stove to keep warm.
After entering the house, he pulled Grandma Xi over, rubbed her cold hands vigorously, and said angrily, "You don't know how old you are? How long have you been waiting outside in such a cold weather?"
"Two hours!" Aunt Xi whispered, not daring to raise her head to look at him, but she felt that her body was cold, but her heart was warm.
"Damn it!" Chu Shoufu yelled angrily.
Auntie Xi retracted her hand, she was already old and she felt embarrassed to be so close.
"I'm looking for you to ask..."
"You don't have to ask anything before you finish drinking the ginger soup." Chu Shoufu said coldly, turned around, spread a soft cushion for her, and told her to sit down.
