On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly and lowered her voice.

"If she doesn't give up, she will force her own daughter-in-law, which will only lead to unrest in the Wu family. What does it have to do with us?"

"I told you that even if Madam Cao met her, it wouldn't change the fact that the Wu family was thrown into prison. She could make a scene as much as she wanted, but it would be useless in the end. She would only end up with a bloody head."

Hearing her say this, Princess Mingzhao burst out laughing, and her original worries were swept away.

"Hearing you say that, I feel relieved. You're right. Anyway, she can't cause any trouble here. Let her be. It's her own business to do whatever she wants."

Princess Ming Zhao snorted: "Then are you still going to her flower viewing party? I think this is not a good party, and the flowers are not good flowers."

"Of course I have to go. Since I've received the invitation, why shouldn't I go? Besides, if she wants to embarrass us, it depends on whether she has the ability to do so."

Princess Mingzhao nodded: "That's right, I will go there too when the time comes, and I will support you."

Yan Ruyu smiled, took out two red fruits and gave them to her under the cloak: "Here."

Princess Mingzhao took it with a smile on her face: "Thank you very much."

"Mu Chen wants to go back with you. His injuries are getting better. I have given him the necessary medicine. He only needs to come back from time to time to check on his hand's recovery. There is no need to worry. I have asked Doctor Sun to write down the recovery methods and matters that need attention and give them to him."

Princess Mingzhao was stunned: "So... we are going back home now?"

Yan Ruyu was puzzled: "Why? What else are you worried about?"

"No," Princess Mingzhao cleared her throat, "There's nothing to worry about. They're all very thoughtful."

Yan Ruyu suddenly understood: "Are you worried that you won't have an excuse to come and eat for free again?"

Princess Ming Zhao blushed, and then she gave up: "Yes, that's why I worry about this. Before, when Mu Chen was here, I could still use the opportunity to see him to avoid coming. Now that he's back home, I have to find another excuse. It's really troublesome."

Yan Ruyu laughed and said, "No need to make excuses, just come directly. If there is any feast, I will ask Linlang to find Luhu and inform you."

"A word is settled!"

Two or three days passed in a flash. After the Wu family was arrested by Wu San, two more groups of people were arrested. Old Madam Wu asked her eldest daughter-in-law to go to the governor's mansion twice, but of course she was unable to see Madam Cao.

Just when Mrs. Wu was feeling depressed, a flower-viewing party arrived.

She hasn't slept well these past two days, and her complexion isn't very good. She was already thin, and now she looks even more haggard. Her eye sockets and cheeks are sunken, making her look even older.

She sent someone to call the eldest daughter-in-law over early in the morning, and helped her get up, wash, and dress. The sun had risen and it was almost time for breakfast when the third daughter-in-law came slowly.

As soon as she lifted the curtain, she saw the eldest lady inserting a hairpin into the old lady's head, and she quickly called out, "Oh, sister-in-law, wait a moment."

She walked quickly forward, snatched the hairpin from the eldest lady's hand and put it down, then picked out a ruby ​​hairpin from the jewelry box.

"Mother, look, doesn't this ruby ​​one suit your complexion better? And it looks more noble?"

The old lady looked at herself in the mirror and said, "It's really good. You have good taste."

The Third Madam sighed and said solemnly, "Mother, this time we say it's a flower-viewing party, and we're viewing the flowers in the flower shed. But, when there are so many women at this kind of event, who doesn't know that the people being viewed are women?"

"They must all be dressed up gorgeously, trying to compete for the top spot. As the mistress of the Wu family, you must also be elegant and noble, and surpass them. But you cannot wear pearls like this. Only gemstones can show your nobility."

The old lady nodded repeatedly and praised: "You are thoughtful and reasonable."

She rolled her eyes at the eldest lady again and said, "You are useless. You can't even choose jewelry. What's the point of having you? Go out and see if breakfast is ready. The guests should be here soon."

The eldest lady said nothing and walked out happily.

The curtain was lowered and laughter was heard behind me.

The eldest lady paused slightly, but her expression remained unchanged.

The maid beside her whispered, "Madam, in my opinion, the pearl one is more beautiful. Although it is a bit low-key, it is still noble. The old lady looks bad, but she still wears rubies, which makes her look even more..."

The eldest lady waved her hand: "Okay, don't say anything more. Let her wear whatever she likes."

The maid had no choice but to say, "Madam, you got up early in the morning and you are so tired that you haven't had a drink of water yet. I will go to the kitchen and you can rest for a while."

The eldest lady was indeed very tired. She had not had a moment's rest these past few days. Today, she was called over to serve before dawn. After such a long time, she didn't even get a good face from the old lady. When the third wife came, she made the old lady smile with just a few words, as if she was the one who had been busy all morning.

The eldest lady shook her head: "Forget it, let's go together."

If the old lady finds out again, who knows what she'll scold me for. Not only will I have worked in vain all morning, but I'll also be scolded.

Old Madam Wu was particular about having a good breakfast, including soup, vegetables and porridge.

He ordered someone to bring it to the yard, and also reminded people about the tea for the flower-viewing party later. The kitchen manager avoided his gaze.

The eldest lady noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's going on?"

The old woman pursed her lips and said nothing. The maid angrily asked, "The Madam is asking you questions. Are you all deaf?"

The old woman then bowed and said, "Madam, it's not that I'm not doing my best. It's really that the Third Madam has instructed that all matters concerning tea and water should be arranged by her. The Third Madam's arrangement is different from yours, so..."

"You guys!" The little maid was so angry that her face turned red. "Our wife is in charge of this matter. How can you ..."

"Oh," the Third Lady said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, do you have any problem with me? If you have any problem, just say it directly. Why let a servant talk about me behind my back? If this gets out, people will think that mother is not strict in managing the family."

The eldest lady said calmly, "Zhu'er didn't say a word about you, so how could she be talking about gossip? Not to mention that mother is not strict in managing the family."

"Besides, my third brother and his wife are good at managing the kitchen. They all listen to you. How could gossip get out?"

The Third Madam smiled, her eyes slightly cold: "Sister-in-law is right, then leave the tea and snacks to me, will Sister-in-law have any objections?"

As for the matter of tea and snacks, the old lady told her eldest daughter-in-law to handle it, because this matter was not simple, but complicated and trivial, and she had to think about everything carefully. If there was a mistake, not only would she be embarrassed, but she would also be beaten and scolded.

The Third Lady didn't say anything at that time, but now everything has been done and all that needs to be done is to give the order, but now she is trying to grab the credit.

The maid Zhu'er was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief tightly. The eldest lady lowered her eyes and said, "Has the third brother's wife reported back to mother? This is a matter assigned by mother, I dare not hand it over to you privately."

The third lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already told my mother and she agrees."

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask my sister-in-law."
