Chapter 217: Grand Finale
In Yuxiu Courtyard, eating watermelon and listening to different melons every day, Mu Lianzhi couldn't help but smile:
"Oh, are both the Sang Mansion and the Fuguogong Mansion closed to visitors?"
"Can you?"
The vivid description made Chun Miao almost clap his hands:
"I heard that it seems to be related to a prostitute. That vixen is really powerful. The master and the young lady are making a scene. There is chaos everywhere."
"As it turned out, Miss Gu became mentally ill, and the prostitute couldn't wait and left. Not only did Master Gu lose everything, but he was also chopped to death by Miss Gu, and became a eunuch."
"Haha, miss, don't you think it's funny?"
"After all the twists and turns, the two of them still had to continue to 'play' husband and wife, and this time one of them accidentally got exposed again!"
"What the storyteller outside said is very interesting."
"By the way, I heard that the Sang family has already banished them to a side courtyard. I guess they will soon be kicked out of the family tree."
"The inside story of the Marquis' Mansion is the most valuable right now. We have been stripped to the ground without leaving anything but our underwear. Fortunately, we are leaving soon, otherwise we would be too embarrassed to see anyone."
Chunmiao became more and more excited as she spoke, and Xiaxiu, who was embroidering a bridal veil, couldn't help looking up and smiling from time to time.
Leng Yun and Leng Yu were not good at embroidery either, so one of them helped by passing the needle and thread, while the other was responsible for taking care of Mu Lianzhi. The room was full of joy and laughter.
"This is probably what it means to be a man of your own making."
Leng Yun interrupted and Mu Lianzhi nodded, applauding in his heart.
Birds of a feather flock together. Ling Yuyao had once given her some advice, but unfortunately, she didn't reflect on herself when she suffered the backlash, didn't know when to stop, and didn't consider her daughter and still got involved. It's really a damn thing that even the King of Hell can't persuade.
Recalling something, she asked again:
"What about Ling Fei'er?"
Another person she had given some advice to was her.
In fact, she did not kill all the people who left the Marquis' Mansion as long as they did not get involved in this mess and did not plot against her.
"She's still okay! Among the people in the Marquis' Mansion, apart from the young lady, she is the only one who can get some sympathy. She won't be laughed at or pelted with rotten eggs when she goes out."
"My cousin's belly is getting big. The baby will probably be born in two or three months. The Duke of Fuguo's Mansion seems to be quite peaceful recently. She seems to be okay with my cousin. After all, she is the Crown Prince's Consort. I guess she has accepted her fate. The Duke of Fuguo's Mansion must feel a little guilty about her. Otherwise, why would someone from the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion come to the full moon banquet for a concubine's child?"
"Even with such a big incident this time, I heard that the Prince of Fuguo Mansion didn't take out her anger on the eldest lady."
"They say it's to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but everyone knows it's just a gimmick."
"The old lady couldn't speak or move. Many visitors didn't even enter the gate of Fudeyuan. Only a few representatives went in to take a look."
As if he suddenly remembered something, Chun Miao slapped his forehead:
"By the way, miss, there is another piece of gossip."
"I heard that in order to prepare for this banquet, the eldest lady ordered people not to let the old lady eat a few days ago, fearing that she would lose control of her urination. So every day she was fed some water and given medicine."
"Eat the kind that makes you bloated and fat, drowsy and not very awake. In short, let the old lady see that you are being well taken care of."
"In fact, they didn't even let her eat enough, but they did feed her ginseng soup to keep her angry. I also heard that the eldest lady was angry and in a bad mood, so she went to beat the old lady. Since she couldn't speak or move, she didn't hit or scold her, but just dragged her against the bed board and the headboard."
"If the master asks, just say that the old lady was dishonest and fell down herself."
"Now, the old lady trembles and cries when she sees people. Who knows whether she is aggrieved or moved? Except for the master who occasionally visits her, no one asks her."
"The master would just complain, comfort the servants, and then scold and instruct the servants. He wouldn't even stay for a cup of tea."
"Isn't the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion ruined now? Then, the master and the first lady may want to use their filial piety to the old lady to restore their reputation. They have been going there more frequently recently, but I heard that they are using various methods to make trouble."
"She was just the eldest lady before, but now she seems to be the eldest master as well..."
As soon as Chunmiao's words came out, everyone sighed in their hearts.
The old lady is probably feeling more miserable living than dying, and now, Ling Yuchi and Jiang will probably keep a close eye on her and won't let her die.
Unexpectedly, the pair with the most patience and forbearance turned out to be Ling Feier and his partner.
It seems that the prince is not Shanchan, and neither is Ling Feier, not to mention Hua Shuolei. It is hard to say who will win or lose in the end.
Mu Lianzhi thought about it but said nothing.
……
The news about the Marquis' Mansion spread everywhere, and naturally, the news about Mu Dongzhu could not be hidden from those who wanted to know.
There are also undercurrents in the Prince’s Mansion.
She was already in a very irritable mood, and then the Crown Prince disappeared, there were a lot of things to do in the palace, there were all kinds of problems in the Prime Minister's residence, and with Beitang Yi's upcoming wedding, Yu Hua felt like he was pushed to the edge of a cliff, with no way out.
Just when she was about to go crazy holding the letter from the Prime Minister's Mansion, her wet nurse Chen Ma woke her up with a few words:
"Your Majesty, a little effort can bring about a great result. If others can come up with an unexpected plan, why can't the Xiangfu do the same? Isn't there a ready-made example right before our eyes? A widow rose to fame overnight, and the prince of the Fuguo Mansion married a concubine."
"It's okay for Miss Third to follow suit, but if you can't let go of this attitude, you can suggest that we delay it for a while, right?"
Yes.
So what if they can't meet Beitang Yi and he doesn't agree? They can still follow suit.
If Yu Wei can really become a co-wife, it is her own ability and it will be beneficial to her!
Thinking like this, she finally opened the letter in her hand, and the next second, she smiled:
"Haha, great minds think alike."
The Prime Minister's Mansion actually had the same idea.
It's just a push, just cooperate. As for the success or failure, what does it have to do with her?
With a flash of inspiration, she suddenly thought of another thing:
"The old lady of Beitang Mansion and her entourage will be back soon!"
"Yes, we should arrive in the capital soon."
"Hmm~"
He raised his hand and set the letter on fire. Looking at the jumping flames, Yu Hua smiled:
One concubine is still a concubine, so what’s wrong with having more?
Even if she can't get it, no one can step on her head or take advantage of her!
……
In the blink of an eye, it was June 6th. The wedding of Beitang Yi and Mu Lianzhi was grand and splendid. Although there was no deliberate parade, the short road was crowded with onlookers, and it was extremely lively.
I don't know who started it, but flower petals can be seen scattered everywhere on the road.
There were sounds of gongs and drums and loud applause. This second wedding was a slap in the face of so many people in the capital. Not only did officials show up to show their support, but even the emperor personally sent eunuch Defu to present gifts. The crown prince and the princes were in person, and the royal guard was specially authorized to lead the team to support the wedding. It was a very grand occasion.
In the corner of the street, listening to the piercing joy, looking at the hands that had been stepped on, and the wedding cakes and candies that were so close yet so far away, Ling Wenzhan finally shed tears of regret...
