In the evening, the news of Zhenzhu's marriage reached Wutong Garden in Prince Qi's Mansion.

Mo Yaohua was shocked when she heard what Jinqiu said, "What did you say? Mo Zhaohua married Zhenzhu today?"

Jin Qiu was envious, "Yes, it was very lively, and it was said that the ceremony was very grand, and the dowry was extremely generous."

As a personal maid, she envied Zhenzhu and Amber when she was in the Shangshu Mansion because they followed the legitimate daughters who had high status.

As a result, the two of them were able to follow Mo Zhaohua to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, to attend banquets at the mansions of high-ranking nobles, and even to the palace.

So far, Mo Yaohua has only been to Changle Palace once to pay a visit to Concubine Liang after getting married, and has never met the Emperor, Empress, or Queen Mother.

Although Jinqiu also went there, she was unable to enter the main hall and had to wait outside. There were palace maids serving Mo Yaohua inside.

Mo Yaohua is in such poor health that he has been unable to get up. He has been lying in bed for the past few days, looking very bad and his voice is weak.

She gasped in anger, "This bitch did this on purpose, didn't she? I just lost my child, and yet she married off her maid with such fanfare at this time."

"No way?" Jin Qiu whispered, "I heard that Princess Yu has been planning Zhenzhu's marriage for a long time, and it's not just these few days that she's arranged a marriage for her."

She was not deliberately speaking well of Mo Zhaohua, but to comfort Mo Yaohua. After all, Mo Yaohua's body could not withstand any stimulation.

Mo Yaohua argued, "A commoner can choose any date to marry. If she has feelings for me, she can postpone the date."

She took herself too seriously, as if she had lost her child, and everyone had to revolve around her and coax her like Chu Xuanhan did.

Jinqiu continued to comfort her, "Maybe they are worried that it's already the end of the year, and if we postpone it any further, it won't be possible this year."

"Even if it's hard to refuse, can't you just be more low-key? Why does she have to make such a big fuss? I think she's coming for me."

Mo Yaohua’s guess was indeed accurate, but unfortunately Mo Zhaohua didn’t care what she thought. The angrier she was, the happier Mo Zhaohua was.

Jin Qiu was also helpless. "It has come to this. Regardless of whether Princess Yu did it on purpose or not, Your Majesty should not think too much about it. It is not good for your health."

Mo Yaohua was furious, "How can I not think about it? That bitch let me control her and use her at will before, but now she is targeting me everywhere."

Jin Qiu seemed to be thinking about something. "Princess Yu has indeed changed a lot in the past year. It seems like she has suddenly become wise. Could it be that she was just pretending to be stupid before?"

"Bitch, damn bitch, how could you treat me like this!" Mo Yaohua was furious. He felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Madam!" Jinqiu exclaimed, "Someone, call the court doctor quickly. Madam is vomiting blood. Hurry up and go."

"Bitch..." Mo Yaohua bit her gums and spat out two words hatefully. She rolled her eyes and fainted.

The court physician trotted into Wutong Garden with his medicine box on his back. He did not dare to delay for a moment regarding Mo Yaohua's matter.

Fortunately, Mo Yaohua was just angry and was not seriously injured. He would wake up after a while. He finally let go of the worry in his heart.

Chu Xuanhan was still worried about the investigation and had no time to care about Yuchi Jiuyue, but when he heard the news, he rushed to Wutong Garden.

"Jinqiu, how do you serve the concubine?" Chu Xuanhan no longer trusted her, "If you can't do it, then find someone else!"

Jinqiu had to kneel down and apologize for every little thing these days, and her knees were swollen. "My lord, this has nothing to do with me. It's all Princess Yu's fault."

"What does this have to do with that bitch? Explain clearly!" Chu Xuanhan's mood became even worse when he heard Mo Zhaohua's name.

Jin Qiu explained weakly, "Princess Yu married her maid today. When the queen found out, she was so upset that she vomited blood and fainted."

Chu Xuanhan was puzzled. "It's just marrying a slave, why would the concubine be upset? Did you, the slave, say something you shouldn't have said?"

"I didn't. I only reported the news truthfully, but Your Majesty thinks..." Jinqiu told Mo Yaohua exactly what she had said.

Chu Xuanhan understood, "That bitch actually gave such a big show to a slave girl, especially at this critical moment, no wonder Yaoyao would think too much."

Jinqiu was in a difficult position. "But I can't hide it from the Majesty, otherwise the Majesty will think that I am having second thoughts."

Because of the drugging incident, Mo Yaohua was like a frightened bird. No one looked like one of his own, even Jinqiu was under suspicion.

Chu Xuanhan had the same idea, and now he deliberately avoided Jinqiu when speaking, "Forget it, I will comfort the concubine, you can leave now."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness." Jin Qiu's eyes were dim and she was very sad. She was so loyal, but she still couldn't be trusted.

She bowed and left the bedroom. It had snowed heavily in the evening and it had just stopped. Now the maids and old women were sweeping the snow in the yard.

A little maid sighed, "Princess Yu is so generous. It's great to be her maid."

Qinghua caught a glimpse of Jinqiu from the corner of his eye and pretended not to see her. "Our queen is also good. She will definitely find a good marriage for Miss Jinqiu in the future."

A maid said, "How can it be better than Miss Pearl? I heard that Steward Cui is quite capable and may become a housekeeper in the future."

Another maid exclaimed, "The steward of Prince Yu's mansion? My God, he really has a bright future. No wonder he can marry Miss Pearl."

Qinghua said disdainfully: "Isn't the housekeeper just a servant? Maybe our queen can find a scholar for Miss Jinqiu so that she can pass the imperial examinations in the future."

The old woman laughed, "Qinghua, you must have fallen asleep just after dark, right? Otherwise, how could you have such a beautiful dream? Or you could have it for someone else."

Qinghua was not convinced, "Even if I am dreaming, my queen will not be outdone by Princess Yu in terms of dowry, right?"

If Jinqiu had heard this before Mo Yaohua got into trouble, she would have been overjoyed and even looking forward to it, but now she dares not hope for it.

The old woman sneered, "Then forget it. Princess Yu not only bought a house for Miss Pearl, but also hid the indenture in her dowry."

The little maidservant relished the story, "I heard that Princess Yu had long wanted to free Miss Pearl from slavery, but she was unwilling, so Princess Yu resorted to this desperate measure."

Another maidservant was filled with envy, "Princess Yu is such a kind person. I wonder how much good deeds I have to do to meet such a good master."

Qinghua had almost finished her words when Jinqiu also stepped into the courtyard. She then greeted everyone else, "Hello, Miss Jinqiu."

Jin Qiu glanced at them and said, "Speak softly about this matter next time. The queen doesn't like it. Don't offend the queen or you will be punished."

Several people hurriedly thanked her, "Yes, thank you for your reminder, young lady. I will never dare to do this again."

After Jinqiu left, Qinghua said again: "Miss Jinqiu is also a good person. If it were Aunt Wu, she would have complained to the Empress and asked for credit."

Naturally, she said this for Jinqiu to hear. After all, the person had not gone far, so if someone wanted to listen carefully, they could still hear it clearly.

The little maid said, "Who says it's not true? It would have been great if Miss Jinqiu had been a maid of Princess Yu when she was in the Shangshu Mansion."

After hearing this, Jinqiu's thoughts became complicated. In fact, if she wanted to join Princess Yu now, she still had a chance, right?
