Chapter 466 - Going into the Palace Again, Duke Xings Mansion Lost! (1/2)

When they were talking, they arrived at the yard of Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion. Rui’an Great Elder Princess was very familiar with it, so she walked into the yard without even asking Madam of Duke Xing to lead the way.

Madam of Duke Xing’s forehead began to sweat. She knew that this matter was not easy to deal with. But if this was not the case, what could she do? Would she recommend a master? What’s more, she still did not know who had done this.

Who could not get along with Shao Wanru and her and was looking for trouble? Thinking about the incident that happened in that yard, Madam of Duke Xing was extremely sad.

However, not only Old Madam, even Duke Xing was also asking her whether she did it. If she did so, wouldn’t it be like stabbing her own heart?

Shao Wanru was not so important that Madam of Duke Xing would put a knife into her own heart and burn down the courtyard that she had prepared for her son for so many years.

After a short pause, she hurried inside.

In the main room, Great Elder Princess had spoken with Old Madam. Judging from Elder Princess’s aggressive manner, it was obvious that Old Madam had suffered a setback again.

“Great Elder Princess, you can’t be so unreasonable. We can’t find out the truth. It is the work of two servant girls. Do you really want us the whole Duke Xing’s Mansion to take up this responsibility? No one had any idea this would happen to Fifth Miss. Our mansion also lost a lot of things and the yard had been carefully prepared!”

Old Madam did not look well. Early in the morning, she thought she could sleep peacefully, but she had been rudely awakened. When the Great Elder Princess came over, she was interrogated again. No one would be in a good mood after this.

She was even more certain that Shao Wanru was a trouble maker and created a lot of problems for their home.

It was better not to recognize this granddaughter and let her be stranded in the outside world.

“Do you want to compensate my granddaughter’s life with that of the two servant girls?” Great Elder Princess said with a gloomy face and then she stood up. “In this case, let us report this matter to the Empress Dowager Queen now.”

“Great Elder Princess, this is a private affair in my manor. Your granddaughter is the Fifth Young Lady of our manor. Don’t I care about her? Will I just watch her being bullied by the maids? I have already sent the two servant girls to the yamen. The two girls admitted that they were the ones who started the fire. Even in front of the Empress Dowager Queen, I would say the same thing.”

Old Madam Dowager stared at Great Elder Princess and said this with confidence.

Sending them to the officials meant that Duke Xing’s Mansion was being magnanimous. How this matter would be dealt with was entirely up to the officials and no one could find fault with it. Although everyone thought that this matter had something to do with Duke Xing’s Mansion, now it was handled by the officials.

“Good… good… good, you actually pushed this matter to the officials. There is someone who is not managing the family well in the mansion, right?” Rui’an Great Elder Princess knew the twists and turns of this matter clearly. She was angry at the shamelessness of this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Duke Xing. At this time, she did not intend to just sit down and have a good talk, so she turned to go out.

They had embarrassed her granddaughter to such an extent. No matter what, she would not let them off so easily.

“Great Elder Princess, what happened between you and our mansion has been a continuous problem for the Empress Dowager Queen. Aren’t you afraid that Empress Dowager Queen will find it troublesome?” Seeing that the matter was going to blow up again, Old Madam severely stabbed Great Elder Princess with words.

However, Rui’an Great Elder Princess ignored her and left angrily with her servants. Madam of Duke Xing chased after her for a few steps, but did not catch up with her. Then she helplessly stomped her feet and came back to discuss with Old Madam.

“Mother, what should we do? If Empress Dowager Queen asks about it, what should we say?” Madam of Duke Xing was in a panic. Because she had never been strong before Great Elder Princess.

In the beginning, it was for the sake of Princess Qinhua and now it was for Shao Wanru. It seemed that Rui’an Great Elder Princess had a bad relationship with Duke Xing’s Mansion.

“Let her go. We will say that this matter has been investigated by the authorities and it has nothing to do with us. Even though it seems a little odd for two servant girls to plot against a new master, it is common in the Vast Thousand Worlds. It is not impossible for this to happen.”

Old Madam said coldly while raising her eyebrows.

“Yes, mother, I know. But Empress Dowager Queen will think that we are causing trouble time and again…” Madam of Duke Xing was still worried and said hurriedly after pacing up and down a few times.

“What should we do? We are not the ones creating a scene in front of the Empress Dowager Queen. It is the Great Elder Princess who is stirring up trouble and always going to the palace. She should be blamed.”

Old Madam said this confidently.

“You are right, mother. But the relationship between Empress Dowager Queen and Great Elder Princess has always been good. In addition to the things happened in the past… She always sides with Great Elder Princess. Maybe she will call us into the palace again in a while!” Madam of Duke Xing said with a look of fear and panic on her face.

Seeing this, Old Madam became increasingly angry. She thought that Rui’an Great Elder Princess had gone too far. It was originally such a small thing and she had blown it up to be like this, which would make Duke Xing’s Mansion the laughing stock in the capital city.

“Come on, let us go to the imperial palace!” Old Madam stood up with a gloomy face and snorted. “She is going to look for the Empress Dowager Queen. We will look for the Empress Queen.”

Seeing Old Madam’s rage, Madam of Duke Xing hurriedly said, “Yes, mother, please get ready first. I will order the carriage!” She took a few people back to her courtyard first and then asked someone to get the carriage ready to enter the palace.
