Chapter 199 At your own risk
Long Shang was not at home because of something, so Gu Lingyue asked Wang An to tell Long Shang that they went to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
When they arrived at the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, it was just time for lunch. Everyone was in the main hall, eating and discussing the marriage of Tang Wenqi and Long Yuxi.
Seeing them come in, Mrs. Tang smiled and quickly asked the servants to add a few stools to the dining table.
After Gu Lingyue, Tang Wenqi, and Tang Wenle exchanged a few words, they sat between Old Madam Tang and Second Madam Tang, smiling and asking, "Grandma, what were you talking about just now? You look so happy?"
"We are discussing your third brother's marriage." Madam Tang's smile never faded. "Prince Yu has agreed to your third brother's marriage with the Princess of Rong'an. We are thinking of finding an auspicious day to have the matchmaker come to propose marriage."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyue was happy for Tang Wenqi and Long Yuxi, and Madam Tang was even more delighted.
She gave birth to three sons. The eldest son's wife is now pregnant. The remaining two not only have marriage partners, but they are also her ideal candidates for wives. She has been sleeping with a smile these days.
Some were happy and some were worried. At this time, Mrs. Tang Er looked at her son Tang Wenle angrily, gritting her teeth in anger.
She had taken a fancy to the youngest daughter of the Minister of Revenue and had also sent people to inquire about her privately. Although the second daughter of the Zhao family was not necessarily good-looking, she was dignified and virtuous, and was a good match for their Tang family. She had thought that this brat would be willing to marry the second daughter of the Zhao family, but he actually disagreed?
This made her a little anxious and angry.
At this moment, she saw Tang Wenle staring at Yunshu and had a bad feeling.
He actually rejected such a good marriage proposal from that brat? Could it be that he was bewitched?
The second wife of Tang Er became more and more angry as she thought about it, and she couldn't help but snort coldly at Tang Wenle.
Gu Lingyue was sitting next to Madam Tang Er. She heard Madam Tang Er's cold snort, then followed Madam Tang Er's gaze and saw Tang Wenle secretly glancing at Yun Shu, with an unbreakable tenderness in his eyes.
Gu Lingyue wondered if her second aunt would find out anything.
Just as he finished thinking this, he heard Madam Tang Er say, "You little rascal, you're the only one of you brothers who still hasn't married. So, tell me, which lady are you satisfied with? You're not too picky, are you?"
Everyone was talking about something nearby, but when they heard Mrs. Tang Er's words, they all looked towards Tang Wenle.
Tang Wenle was still looking at Yun Shu with a silly smile, but was suddenly startled by what Madam Tang Er said. He looked at everyone and saw that everyone was staring at him. His face immediately turned red and he stammered, not knowing how to explain.
Seeing his embarrassed look, everyone burst into laughter. Yun Shu, who was standing aside, blushed slightly and lowered his head in embarrassment.
At this time, Tang Zhenhong also smiled and said: "Your mother is right, you are not young anymore. If you delay any longer, I am afraid there will be no suitable girl."
Tang Wenle scratched his head awkwardly, glanced at where Yun Shu was standing, and then said, "I know!"
Everyone remained silent upon hearing this and continued to eat. However, Madam Tang Er's face turned grim and her mood grew heavy...
At this time, Long Shang had just returned from a busy morning. When he was about to return to Zizhuxuan, Wang An came over and told him that Gu Lingyue had returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
Long Shang nodded when he heard this, turned and walked towards the study.
At this time, a figure quietly left not far away and quickly ran towards the yard where Dong Jinyu lived.
"Miss, the prince is back." Mingxia ran into the house and said to Dong Jinyu.
"Really?" Dong Jinyu confirmed again.
"I saw it with my own eyes," Ming Xia confirmed. "The prince was about to return to Zizhuxuan, but when he heard the housekeeper say that the woman was not there, he went to the study."
Dong Jinyu gritted her teeth and said, "That bitch is already pregnant and she's still trying to seduce the prince!"
Ming Xia said, "Miss, what should we do next?"
"What should we do?" Dong Jinyu whispered quietly in Mingxia's ear.
Ming Xia hesitated after hearing this and said, "Miss, do you really want to do this? What if..."
"Don't worry, there's no such thing as an emergency. I'm not going, and even if there is an emergency, it's Yang Yanru's emergency. Besides, that bitch Gu Lingyue has been pregnant for such a long time, and the prince has no woman by his side. I don't believe he can resist temptation."
After saying this, she handed Ming Xia a folded handkerchief she had prepared in advance. "Give this to Yang Yanru and tell her it's a gift from me. Tell her the prince is in the study and ask her to take this handkerchief to the prince. You'll definitely be able to do it."
"I understand." When Ming Xia was about to leave, Dong Jinyu whispered, "Hold it carefully, don't open it, and don't let anyone see it when you go to Linfengju. Give the handkerchief to Yang Yanru after you see her, and tell her not to open it until she sees the prince, otherwise she will bear the consequences."
"Yes."
"After you give her the handkerchief, wait outside for a while and keep an eye on her to see if she goes to the study." Dong Jinyu reminded again.
Ming Xia responded and left. Dong Jinyu sneered. Why were she and Shen Anran the only ones kicked out, while that bitch Yang Yanru was fine? Not only that, she was living very well in this palace!
Doesn't she believe that Yang Yanru is willing to live like this for the rest of her life?
If she listened to herself, as long as the matter was accomplished, she didn't believe that there would be no rift between that bitch Gu Lingyue and the prince. Even if it didn't work out, the person who went was Yang Yanru, not herself. As long as she insisted that it was Yang Yanru who framed her, what could they do to her?
On the other side, at Linfengju, Mingxia hid herself and arrived at Linfengju. She gave the handkerchief to Yang Yanru and repeated what Dong Jinyu wanted her to say before saying goodbye and leaving.
Dongyue frowned as she watched Mingxia leave and said, "The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken with no good intentions." After saying this, she looked at Yang Yanru and said worriedly, "Miss, you can't believe what that woman says. You want to be the Crown Prince's wife."
Yang Yanru rolled her eyes in amusement, "Does your young lady look that stupid to me?"
Dong Yue quickly shook her head, "My lady is not stupid. I am just afraid that you might be curious again."
Yang Yanru was speechless. "I'm not curious about everything. Being curious about things like this can get you killed."
"That's true." Dongyue nodded in agreement.
Yang Yanru looked at the handkerchief on the table thoughtfully. Dongyue said, "Miss, let's give this handkerchief to the princess and let her deal with her."
"This handkerchief must have been tampered with. The princess is pregnant now, so it's not appropriate to give it to her. We can't afford it if something happens."
"What should we do? Should we hand it over to the prince?" Dongyue hesitated.
"That's even more impossible. Dong Jinyu just wants me to take this handkerchief to the prince. If I really go, won't I fall into her trap? Besides, this handkerchief doesn't belong to Dong Jinyu at all. Even if I give it to the prince and report Dong Jinyu, we can't do anything if she denies it."
"What should we do then?" Dongyue said unwillingly.
Yang Yanru thought for a moment and said, "Take it and find a doctor to check what's wrong with this handkerchief. I'll tell the princess later so she can be on guard."
"Yes, slave, go right away."
"Be careful."
"The servant knows."
