The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

Just as he returned to his bedroom, he was pinching his brows with a headache. Shangshu Fang finally felt much better, but he heard a voice that made his headache swell again.

"Master, the old lady said she wants to see you for something. Please come over." Cuixiang stood at the door and shouted respectfully to the person inside.

Minister Fang was really annoyed. He just wanted to take a break, so why didn't these people let him go?

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, I don't know."

Minister Fang opened the door angrily. Looking at Cuixiang's expression, how could he not know? She just wanted him to go. Thinking of how he had locked up the Second Madam in the ancestral hall today, his brows ached again.

"Got it. I'll be right there."

Cuixiang heard Minister Fang's reply, bowed, and said, "Yes, Master." Then she left.

Not seeing her son, the old lady was furious when she saw Cuixiang coming back alone. She stretched out her hand tremblingly and pointed to the door, "Madame Huang, look at this rebellious son. Now that he is old, he has gone against me."

Cuixiang, who was standing by, was pointed at and scolded by the old lady as soon as she approached. She bowed awkwardly and said, "Old lady, the master said he would be here soon."

The old lady, who originally wanted to continue scolding, heard what the maid said, twitched the corners of her mouth, and started scolding the maid again.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I'm telling you, how could someone who has been filial to me all his life not care about his mother's life or death?"

Cuixiang stood aside: "Old Madam, I was just about to say something, just looking at you..."

"Alright, alright, go see if anyone is here."

"Yes, old lady."

Cuixiang was about to go out when she saw the royal blue figure of Fang Shangshu hurriedly approaching the door. "Mother, how are you? Is there anything you want me to do?"

The old lady raised her eyebrows. She thought he was filial just now, but now he was asking her why she called him.

"Zhengxiang, I was feeling unwell and asked Second Madam to take care of me. But I waited for a whole day but didn't see her. After asking, I found out that you had locked her up in the ancestral hall."

"Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Minister Fang felt ashamed and glared at the maid who was serving his mother. What a sightless thing! She didn't even know how to coax her and help her get through these few days.

Receiving the sharp gaze, Nanny Huang lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look at her two masters.

"I'm asking you a question. What do you think Huang Ma and the others are doing? Do they have the final say?"

Minister Fang looked at his mother who was very angry and in poor health, and said softly, "Mother, the Second Madam did something wrong, so I locked her up. Don't get angry and hurt yourself. Wait until she comes out and she will come to serve you."

"What did you do wrong? Isn't it just that the concubine's belly can't protect the child?" The old lady glared at her son and continued, "Is this concubine's child more important than me?"

"Of course, mom's health is important."

"If that's the case, let her go."

"That won't work. Mother, you don't know the situation. Aunt Liu's child was killed by the Second Madam. At that time, the concubines in the mansion were watched by everyone. As the head of the mansion, my son cannot be too partial."

"So you locked her up in the ancestral hall?"

"Exactly."

"Nonsense, there are a thousand ways to punish the Second Madam for her mistakes, why did she have to be locked up? The child hasn't been born yet, who knows if it's a fake? I don't care, just let her go."

Minister Fang was speechless for a moment when he saw his mother acting so unreasonably.

"Mother, there are so many maids and servants serving you in this mansion, what will happen if she is gone? Please don't make trouble unreasonably. Your son has already given the order and it cannot be taken back."

"Are you trying to piss me off to death?" The old lady held onto the edge of the bed and coughed hard.

"Mother, no matter what, the Second Madam should be punished for murdering our heir. Otherwise, which concubine in this mansion will dare to harm my son's child in the future? My son can't even protect his own child, let alone give birth to one."

The old lady closed her eyes, trying hard to suppress her anger, then opened them again, stared at her beloved son, and spoke slowly.

"I have carefully cultivated you and arranged a marriage for you. Now that you have become a minister, you are so proud that you don't even listen to my words."

"Hey." Minister Fang stood up and shook his sleeves. "I don't care what you want, mother. But mother, there is more than one second wife in my house. What I want is a child. I have few descendants, and I will never ruin a group of people because of a woman."

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to the old lady and walked away.

The old lady was so angry at his words that she almost fell backwards. Fortunately, Nanny Huang was quick to support her and patted her back for a long time before she calmed down.

"Madame Huang, look at this rebellious son. He doesn't care about me anymore. I think I should go find his father."

Huang Ma sighed and looked at the old lady. "Old lady, what the old master said just now is very respectful to you. Don't be angry. As the head of the mansion, he not only has to make money for you, but also has to take care of the feelings of the other concubines. If he really lets the second wife go, just like the old master said, who among the concubines would dare to get pregnant with the master's child? Aren't those who got pregnant beaten by the second wife?"

"I...I am tired too. Ever since I got a fever from that rebellious girl Fang Shiwan, I have been feeling unwell."

"Madam, didn't the master just say that he doesn't care what you do? If you really want the Second Madam to serve you, why don't you..."

With a hint of cunning in her eyes, Nanny Huang whispered a few words into the old lady's ear, and the old lady's eyes lit up instantly.

"Okay, let's do it this way. Madam Huang, it's better to go in the second half of the night. I'm afraid the others won't get some rest yet."

"Yes, the old slave knows."

At night in the Shangshu Mansion, the sound of cicadas could be heard everywhere, and the wind blew the leaves, making a "squeaking" sound. In the backyard, at a door with two lanterns hanging in front of it, a figure was looking around furtively.

After a while, she took out a key from her waist and opened the door.

'squeak'

Aunt Lin, who was lying casually on the ground, suddenly knelt down when she heard someone coming, and shouted, "Master, I know I was wrong, please have mercy on me."

"Second lady."

When Aunt Lin heard that it was not Minister Fang’s voice, she turned around abruptly and was surprised to find, “Madame Huang?”

"Hush!" Nanny Huang put her hand on her mouth, signaling Aunt Lin not to speak. "Second Madam, I am here to take you out. Please don't speak."

When she heard that she could go out, Aunt Lin was so happy. She thought it must be the old lady's intention. She quickly stood up from the ground and nodded several times.

Just like that, the door of the ancestral hall was locked again, and two figures shuttled through the garden of the corridor and walked towards Qingxinyuan.

Aunt Lin was so happy that she walked faster. Occasionally, gusts of wind blew by, which frightened both Aunt Lin and Nanny Huang so much that they started to tremble.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Aunt Lin heard someone crying, looked around, and asked reflexively, "Who?"
