The meaning of the Jiang Clan's words was very clear. They wanted her to intentionally suffer some injuries in the West Branch so that they could blame it on the Xu Clan. But now, they were speaking in such a dignified manner.
With the Xu family treating her in the main hall, if she was injured in the west yard, even if the prince had doubts in his heart and did not believe that the Xu family would be so impatient, he would not be able to give them seven or seven answers. At that time, the Xu family would probably suffer a lot, and because she had suffered a great loss, the Xu family would inevitably treat her as a thorn in their side.
Exiting the Jiang Clan's courtyard, with Sun Yiyi's mother accompanying him, Qi Qi Qi went directly to the west yard. From the main courtyard to the west yard of the Xu Clan, they had to pass through the back garden.
These concubines' hearts were filled with disdain towards Seventh Madame, but who told her to be so full of energy? Therefore, although she was unwilling, she still went up to greet them.
”Where are Seventh Madame and Sun's mother going?”
Before Qi Qi could speak up, a mother answered in place of her, ”Just now, at the wangfei's place, Xu Wei and Seventh Madame had a bit of an unpleasant situation. Seventh Madame blamed herself for saying the wrong things, causing Xu Pan to be unhappy. When they were having breakfast at her place, she was always depressed, so she told Seventh Madame to sit down in her courtyard and resolve the conflict. It's good for both of us.”
When the other concubines present heard this, they glanced at each other and covered their mouths and chuckled in tacit understanding.
”The wangfei's heart is still as kind as ever. She's always thinking for Seventh Madame, you can see. In the eyes of the wangfei, Seventh Madame is still different from the rest of us.”
”Sisters, please don't say any more words. Aren't you trying to kill me? It's the same for the other sisters. ” Qi Qi Qi didn't know what to do and could only shake his hand as he tried his best to explain. It seemed that he was deeply afraid that everyone would misunderstand Princess Hua-Yang.
”Alright, you're serious too. I'm just joking with you! ”Since you're going to find Consort Xu, we won't disturb you any longer.”
After saying that, the other concubines nodded to Seventh Seven and Sun's mother before dispersing.
Qi Qi looked at them hesitantly as they left, then turned her head to look at Sun Yiyi's mom with eyes filled with worry.
”Mama Sun, the wangfei treats me much more kindly than the rest. Will this cause trouble for the wangfei? Let everyone think that the wangfei was biased, but things were different? ”
”Don't worry, Princess Hua-Yang doesn't really care about all this trouble. Let's hurry up and go. There's still some distance to go between us, right?” Sun Yiyi's mother seemed to be very used to this scene. She supported Qi Qi Qi and started walking in the direction of the west yard.
Then he looked down at the road, his eyes lowered to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.
It seemed that she had been treated as a target among a group of women. The wangfei had done this kind of thing quite a few times in the past. It seemed that she was quite familiar with this business.
When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he saw green bamboo growing in the yard through the doorway.
Other women were all raising flowers and birds, but this Xu Sanguan was special, actually growing bamboo in the courtyard. Other women were all raising flowers and birds, but this Xu Sanguan was special, actually growing bamboo in the courtyard.
”Ah, this Xu Sang Fei's temper is really weird. Tell me, why do you plant so much bamboo?” The bamboo in the yard blocked even the sun's rays. It was so bright that even the rays of the sun could not penetrate through. It was so eerie. I heard that the bamboo forest was attracting snakes! What kind of poisonous snake would enter the palace and bite someone? What should we do? ”
Sun Yiyi's mother supported Qi Qi and whispered into her ear. At the same time, she kept checking left and right, afraid that snakes would really crawl out from the bamboo forests on both sides of the stone path.
In his heart, however, he was secretly cursing. Could it be that so many of the servants in the Prince's Mansion were raised for nothing? Xu Sang Fei loved the bamboo, so she naturally knew the special characteristics of the bamboo. She must have specially warned the servants about it; after all, it was not good if something happened in her yard.
The Xu family had already heard the servant's report as soon as they entered the courtyard. However, she indifferently sat by the bedside, playing with a small dog in her arms. She didn't even tell the servants whether she should welcome the guests or not.
Mother Chen stood at the side, tightly holding her hands, gently walking forward, ”Mistress, we are not going to welcome you, is it alright? ”After all …”
Without waiting for Mrs Chen to finish, Mrs Xu put down the puppy in her arms and turned to look at Mrs Chen, ”What's my identity? What's her identity? Do you think it's necessary to welcome her?”
”That is true, but … ”But Seventh Madame was pregnant after all …”
”Isn't that what you're going to say when she's pregnant? ”This is truly expensive for a mother to rely on. I don't even know what kind of thing is in her stomach, but she's already so delicate and precious.” Mrs Xu interrupted Mrs Chen once again, a sarcastic smile on her face, the look in her eyes making it hard for people to understand.
As soon as Mrs Xu's voice fell, the servant girl's announcement sounded. Mrs Chen looked down at the Xu, who was carefully looking at her finger, then hesitated for a good while. In the end, she decided to stand quietly at the side, no matter what the young miss decided, she would always stand by her side.
