Shuizhu observed his words and saw that his master had a bad look on his face, and winked at Qiangwei. Qiangwei shook her head and saw that her uncle was not unhappy when he came, so he thought that what was written in the letter must be a good thing.
It was indeed a good thing. The letter mentioned that he would serve as the general of the Western Jin Dynasty. He also told Mu Lingxue not to be anxious and to take her out of the house in a graceful manner. However, Mu Lingxue was not happy in her heart.
She knew that her brother was doing it for her own good, and she also understood that he was doing this to take her out of the house, and he could even leave the house with his chin raised. Otherwise, how could he agree to work for the Western Jin Dynasty with his character?
She understands the truth of this very well. Even if her brother has made great contributions, he will not get a good word. People in the Eastern Jin Dynasty will call him a traitor, and people in the Western Jin Dynasty will look down on him. Neither left nor right will get good things.
The elder brother has always been a person who does not value reputation. The reason why he chose this must be because he has nothing to do with her.
Thinking of this, how could Mu Lingxue feel better? She even had no appetite to eat.
After asking Shuizhu to remove her things, Mu Lingxue went back to the bed and fell into a daze while holding the quilt. In fact, she really didn't care how to leave the house. Her reputation was ruined anyway, but her brother still wanted to fight for her. How could she?
It didn't move her heart.
Outside the house, Shuizhu pulled Qiangwei and asked secretly, "Uncle, did you really say nothing?"
Qiangwei shook her head and thought about it for a moment. Her uncle's expression seemed to be no different. She never imagined that her master would look like this after reading the letter. If she had known, she would have inquired first.
Shuizhu bit his lip, "Don't go out for the next few days. I'm the only one in the courtyard. If I go to get things, no one will be around to take care of the master."
Unexpectedly, the majestic Prince Xian's Palace and the Concubine's Courtyard were so deserted, which made one's heart tremble after looking at it.
Hearing this, Qiangwei had a look of hatred on her face, "I'm going to find Concubine Rong. Although our master has been banned, she is still the principal concubine in this palace, and we can't allow a concubine like her to get on top of us."
Shuizhu sneered, "Do you think the master is afraid of her? It's just that the master doesn't care about quarreling with people like them. Why would you argue with such people? Why don't you go to the big kitchen and ask someone to cook something?"
Bring the pimple soup and put it in a red porridge, the master likes it sour."
Qiangwei didn't hide anything, turned around and went out without saying anything. Shuizhu then softly opened the door and entered the house. The two of them had kept their voices low when talking before. When they entered the inner room, they saw that the master had come early.
After falling asleep, Shuizhu walked over and pulled the quilt over him again before retreating.
In the front yard, Kyoupachi was holding Longhu and whispering, "I heard from the doorman that Qiangwei is back. She must have come back because of something. That girl is the princess's confidant."
Longhu looked at him coldly, as if to say that it's none of your business.
Jingpachi patted him on the shoulder, "You don't understand this. Those things just happened in our house. Our princess's brother has also arrived in the capital. After all, our princess has someone to rely on. Seeing her sister go out
It’s over, how can you not care anymore? What happened if you said it was over?”
Longhu gave him a boring look, turned around but froze. Kyoba turned around with a sigh, and when he looked at the person standing under the eaves, he twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly.
The master must have heard everything he said just now, but why didn't he hear any sound?
Kyopachi lowered his head with a guilty conscience, but he didn't expect that he would be bumped into by his master the first time he talked too much. Especially his ugly face and eyes made Kyopachi shiver involuntarily.
Of course Feng Guqiu was very angry. What made him angry was that he heard that the woman had someone to rely on. Could it be that besides her family, he was not the one she could rely on? Even the people around him thought so.
Not to mention other people.
These perceptions made Feng Guqiu feel extremely uncomfortable, and she snorted coldly, "Come in."
He strode into the house first, followed by Kyoba and Ryuutora into the study with a dark face.
After Feng Guqiu sat on the chair, she said in a cold voice, "How did the news about me and the princess come out?"
Kyopachi didn't dare to speak out, thinking that Longhu was there anyway, so he simply played dumb. However, he didn't expect that without a stalemate, Longhu would speak. It was obvious that he had no intention of not speaking.
"It is rumored that the prince dotes on the princess and treats other women in the backyard. It is said that the prince does not like the princess in his heart, so everyone else is riding on the princess." Longhu said this without adding any emotion, as if he was telling a narrative.
Feng Guqiu said three good words in a row, "It seems that the princess's life in the palace is not satisfactory. Call Concubine Rong."
Kyopachi was stunned for a moment, and then he retreated. The master was really weird today. He actually wanted to stand up for the princess. He couldn't think of that much. The master's temper has been very unstable these days. Who knows what's going on with him.
When Jingba arrived at the backyard, Mrs. Rong was instructing the ladies in charge to do their work. When Ye Ju said that Jingba was coming, she was startled and quickly asked people to come in first, while the ladies in charge left.
In the past, the prince always sent Jingba to send messages to her courtyard, but since Princess Fu entered the palace, this matter had never happened before. Today was the first time, and Mrs. Rong felt a little excited.
Jingpachi made a blessing, "Your Majesty asked Concubine Rong to go to the study room in the front yard."
Rong didn't think much after hearing this, and asked Ye Ju to help her change clothes immediately. Following Jingpachi who was waiting outside, the three of them went to the front yard, but Ye Ju felt something was wrong in her heart.
If there is something happening in the palace, the prince only needs to send a message. Why does he have to ask someone to go there in person? I'm afraid it's not that simple? But looking at the master's happy expression, she didn't say much. I hope it's her.
Thinking too much.
After all, after Princess Fu entered the palace, the prince's temperament changed drastically. Who can tell whether it will be the same as before.
When they arrived at the study room in the front yard, Longhu was already standing outside the door. Jingpachi knew that nothing good would happen if he went in. After the announcement, he gently opened the door and gave way. Rong stepped in and Jingpachi closed the door.
As soon as she entered the study, Mrs. Rong couldn't hold back the smile on her face. At a glance, she could see the chill radiating from the man sitting behind the desk, and his steps were hesitant.
"I leave the affairs of the backyard to you, tell me how you do it?" Feng Guqiu's voice was low, but Rong's face instantly turned pale with fright.
Mrs. Rong knelt down on the ground without saying anything, "I know I was wrong."
She knew the man in front of her very well. If she made a mistake, don't quibble, just admit it. But she was even more scared because when she heard the word "backyard", she guessed that it was related to the main courtyard.
But after Longhu took all the servants away, she didn't worry about sending some servants there. They were all grounded anyway, and it was impossible for the prince to intervene. Moreover, she didn't believe that it would spread outside the house.
This time she was a little scared, after all, the prince asked him personally.
"My reputation has been ruined by you. It seems that I indulge you too much."
Feng Guqiu's words confirmed Rong's guess. This matter must have spread outside and been known to the prince. After hearing the prince's words, Rong had already forgotten what to do.
He just knelt there stupidly.
"Get out, if any rumors spread, I will drive you out of the house directly." Feng Guqiu angrily rebuked.
Rong was so frightened that she stumbled out of the study. Ye Ju quickly stepped forward to help her up. Seeing that the master was not good, he knew that something bad must have happened. Besides, how could he ask questions here? The master and servant had gone far away.
Bacai curled his lips in disdain.
Not long after, Feng Guqiu walked out of the study. Kyoba immediately realized his mistake and lowered his head. He only heard his master snort coldly, and went straight to the main room. It wasn't until he could no longer hear the footsteps that Kyoba sighed deeply.
He let out a sigh of relief.
Longhu sneered.
Jingpachi glared at him dissatisfied, "You can't tell, our Dragon Guards can actually lie. How come I don't know about the rumors about Prince Xian's Palace? But it seems you don't like it either?"
When he heard Long Hu say that, he didn't refute. Anyway, they both had the same idea. But if he was asked to say it, he would definitely say it was from the family. If Long Hu was more ruthless than him, he would just say it was from outside.
Okay, no wonder the master lost his temper. Fortunately, the master was upset and angry at the moment and didn't think carefully, otherwise Longhu would be in misery.
Longhu didn't say much, "Aren't you afraid that the master will hear?"
He dropped the words and turned around to leave.
Kyopachi curled his lips, not daring to say anything more. In the past, Princess Fu had a very good temper as his master, but it was strange these days, always so unpredictable that he couldn't figure it out.
Mrs. Rong returned to the backyard with a pale face. As soon as she sat back in the house, she told Ye Ju, "Pick some capable girls and wives and send them to the princess."
Ye Ju knew it as soon as he heard it, and knew what was going on without asking any more questions. He went out to do it immediately. When everything was done, it was already half an hour later.
Back in the main room, Mrs. Rong's expression had not yet recovered. She thought that this was the first time that she had been scolded by the prince for so many years since she had been in the palace. He didn't even show mercy at all, but still called her out to scold her.
What was even more hateful was being scolded for a princess who was not favored in court. How could Mrs. Rong feel comfortable?
"Go and find out who spread the rumors outside. I will never take mercy on you." Mrs. Rong squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.
Ye Ju said cautiously, "I have sent someone to check."
Mrs. Rong bit her lip and couldn't help but shed tears. Since Li Ningfu entered the house, the prince has never entered the backyard. Now he still scolds her like this for a concubine. Who can he tell her the grievances in his heart?
.
How could she swallow this tone? Even if it had nothing to do with that woman, she still had to understand that she had been wronged because of her, and she had to pay the price.
Ye Ju wanted to persuade but didn't know how to say anything. She just hoped that the master would be more open-minded. The prince has a bad temper these days, but everyone in the house knows it.
