The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

On the day Lin Wanqiao returned home, Mrs. Song specially called Mrs. Chang to ask about the current situation of Xinglu Garden.

From Mrs. Chang's mouth, she learned that Ning Zijun no longer valued Lin Wanqiao as much as he did before marriage.

When Mrs. Song heard the news, she was secretly delighted.

She repeatedly told Mrs. Chang to keep an eye on every move in Xingluyuan, and asked her to look for suitable opportunities and arrange for several clever maids to serve Ning Zijun closely in order to win his favor as soon as possible.

Mrs. Chang agreed one by one, and after receiving the reward from Cui's mother, she respectfully withdrew.

Seeing that things were going quite smoothly, Mrs. Song couldn't help but feel relieved. She took a slow sip of tea and chuckled.

"After being busy these days, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

But Cui's mother reminded her: "Madam, it's time to step up preparations for our fourth lady's wedding."

Song's eyebrows furrowed: "The second prince told Lan'er that day that His Majesty will soon issue a decree to marry Ninghou Mansion. Let's wait patiently for a few more days."

Just a few days passed, but there was still no movement in the palace.

Mrs. Song couldn't help but start to feel anxious.

Cui's mother saw that her face was not good, so she quickly comforted her and said: "Madam, since His Highness has personally promised it, it doesn't matter if we wait a few more days. The palace has been busy receiving Prince Sola these days, and His Majesty may have been delayed because of this. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Song felt a little relieved and asked again: "Have Qing Yatou and the one from Yanmingju entered the palace today?"

Mother Cui nodded in agreement.

"Someone came to the palace early in the morning to send word that His Majesty is hosting a banquet in honor of Prince Sora today, and specifically announced that Princess Azhao and His Royal Highness King Qian would come to the palace to accompany him."

When Mrs. Song thought of Ning Ziqing's current prominent status, she felt sour in her heart.

Her eyes darkened slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Let her be proud for a while longer. When Lan'er becomes the Crown Princess and ascends to the position of Queen in the future, she will have a good time."

The twilight of early winter comes early.

The lights had just turned on in Ninghou's mansion, and Ning Zijun stepped into the door with a sullen face.

He left in a hurry and did not go to the front hall to say hello to the old lady and others. He returned to Xinglu Garden alone.

Lin Wanqiao did not dare to lose her etiquette and walked into the hall politely, saluting and saying hello to the elders one by one.

The old lady and the others saw that her eyes were slightly red and her lips were pursed tightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress her sad emotions.

Mrs. Song pretended to be concerned and asked: "Ah Qiao, what's wrong with you? But what grievances have you suffered?"

Lin Wanqiao lowered her head and said nothing, just shook her head gently.

When Ning Houye saw that Ning Zijun did not come with Lin Wanqiao, his face darkened, he slammed the table and said in a stern tone.

"Ah Qiao, are you angry with Zijun? This bastard has no respect for his elders as soon as he got married. Did he do something extraordinary when he went to Yue's house today?"

Lin Wanqiao hurriedly denied: "My father misunderstood. Zijun was very good to his daughter-in-law. He did not make her angry. It was the daughter-in-law who went back to her parents' home and couldn't bear to leave her relatives at home, so she was so disappointed. It's all your daughter-in-law's fault, let you We have misunderstood, don’t blame Zijun.”

Lin Wanqiao said that she was about to kneel down to apologize. The old lady hurriedly signaled to Qin's mother to come forward to support her and spoke to her gently.

"Ah Qiao, you are a good, sensible and filial child. This will also be your home from now on. If there is anything you don't like, just come and tell grandma and she will definitely help you solve your problems."

Lin Wanqiao responded obediently.

Qin's mother supported her and walked to the old lady. The two talked for a while before the old lady asked Lin Wanqiao to go back and rest.

Returning to Xinglu Garden, Lin Wanqiao found that the main house was dark.

She walked into the bedroom directly, but Ning Zijun was nowhere to be seen, and she was about to turn around and go out to look for him.

Mrs. Chang walked in with a smile and announced: "Young madam, the prince has asked his servant to tell you that he has rested in the side room, so you don't have to wait and go to bed early."

Gardenia glared at Granny Chang with disgust and quickly sent her away.

Lin Wanqiao sat on a low stool and was silent for a long time, then asked Xi Chun to fetch water to wash her up.

Gardenia looked at Lin Wanqiao worriedly and almost cried: "Miss, how can you bear it!"

Lin Wanqiao smiled calmly: "Since I'm married to him, I have to learn to tolerate some things."

Zhixia wanted to persuade her to go to Ning Ziqing for help, but Xichun stopped her in time.

"Young lady has been tired for a whole day, why don't you wait for her to rest."

Xichun urged again, and then Zhixia gave up.

In the palace, the banquet was in full swing. Huo Yunjue and Prince Sola were drinking and talking. Unconsciously, they were a little drunk, so they got up and left the banquet, and went outside the palace to take some fresh air to sober up.

When they reached the corner of the corridor, Huo Yunjue met Ye Yushan who was returning from changing clothes.

He nodded slightly to show respect, then stepped aside to give way.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yushan suddenly stepped aside, walked up to Huo Yunjue, and asked him straight to the point: "May I ask the fourth prince, why are you always checking my identity? Are you so curious about me?"

Huo Yunjue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why did Concubine Xue say this?"

Ye Yushan sneered, picked a flower leaf from the flower stand and twisted it lightly with her fingertips.

"Why should the Fourth Prince pretend to be confused? Don't think that I don't know about the things you did."

Her eyes were cold, her fingers tightened, and green juice was drawn out from the flowers and leaves, staining her nails.

Huo Yunjue saw her throwing away the broken flower and leaf in disgust, and stepped on it hard, crushing it to pieces.

Then she raised her chin slightly, looked directly at Huo Yunjue, and said in a cold and arrogant tone: "What do the fourth princes want to know? Why don't you ask me face to face? I will definitely tell you everything I know, so why do you have to go to such trouble? Go check me out."

Huo Yunjue's expression remained unchanged as he held up his hands and explained to her: "Mother Xue Fei may have misunderstood. I didn't mean to offend you. Your Majesty ordered me to strictly investigate the case of the assassination of King Qian by the Wu clan. Naturally, I dare not slack off in the slightest. Maybe it's because of this." I have been busy with official duties recently and have not been able to explain things well, which has led to my subordinates making mistakes, and they have been traced to the empress. Please forgive me, and I will definitely go back and punish them severely. "

However, Ye Yushan did not relax her vigilance after hearing his explanation.

A trace of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and her tone darkened.

"Instead of clinging to me, the fourth prince should pay more attention to his own situation."

Huo Yunjue frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant.

Ye Yushan withdrew her gaze meaningfully, not intending to pester him anymore. While turning around, she calmly dropped a word.

"You know, the fourth prince, that His Majesty wants to grant a marriage to the second prince and give him Ning Zilan as his concubine."

Huo Yunjue was suddenly startled when he heard this.

In the middle of the night, Lin Wanqiao was awakened by the noise outside.

She called Xi Chun to ask, and then she found out that Song's headache was caused, and Cui's mother came to ask her to come and take care of the disease.

Gardenia didn't want to disturb Lin Wanqiao and stopped Cui's mother from entering. The two had an argument at the door.

Lin Wanqiao lifted up the quilt and sat up, asking Xi Chun: "Is there any movement over there, the prince?"

Xi Chun hesitated: "The prince's side... didn't seem to be alarmed."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Lin Wanqiao's eyes, and she had no choice but to ask Xichun to help her change clothes.
