Splendid Twins

The old lady took a sip of the tea handed to her by the Crown Prince's Consort and said slowly:

"Just follow me later."

The Crown Prince's Consort was startled when she heard this. Although she was confused, she quickly calmed down and bowed her head respectfully:

"Yes, grandmother."

Zhou Ying, who was standing by, waited cautiously. Her grandmother's vague gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable...

The old lady looked at her again and laughed:

"Ying is a good girl. Come and spend more time with your grandmother in the future."

Thinking of what her eldest son told her last night, this girl is still a sober, sensible and smart girl, so she will always show her more care and concern.

"Aying listens to grandma."

After a while, I heard the maid at the door say respectfully:

"Meet the Concubine."

When Zhou Wan saw that the person who greeted her was Manju, her grandmother's capable maid, she had wanted to inquire about her grandmother's hobbies before, but was rejected by this lowly maid. She sneered immediately:

"Heh, isn't this agate with a high spirit? Why are you willing to bow down to me today?"

Agate bowed respectfully again, lowered his head slightly and replied:

"The Concubine is a beautiful lady, I dare not disrespect her."

"Humph, you are just a lowly servant who serves others. You speak so nicely."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. The old lady in the room closed her eyes and remained silent. The Crown Princess and Zhou Ying next to them looked at each other, and both saw the absurdity in each other's eyes!

Agate belongs to my grandmother and represents her face. How could Zhou Wan be so arrogant!

The Duke's wife was shocked and her face changed drastically. She immediately spoke:

"That's enough, Wanwan. Go in quickly. Your grandmother is waiting."

After saying this, he looked at Agate with a guilty look on his face, and then the mother and daughter entered the hall.

As soon as Zhou Wan came in, she noticed the cold atmosphere and said in an unhappy tone:

"Grandma, Wanwan is back to see you."

The old lady slowly opened her eyes upon hearing this, without a trace of joy on her face, and replied without any emotion:

"The Concubine is thoughtful."

Zhou Wan lowered her eyes to hide the resentment in them. This damn old lady had never liked her. It might have been fine in the past, but now she was the concubine of Prince Li!

He scanned the area and stopped his sight on Zhou Ying who was sitting with the Crown Prince's Consort. He curled his lips:

"Sister Ying, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look even more radiant and charming than ever before."

She originally wanted Si Yao to rape this bitch and take her to Sijia Village to live a poor life, but it turned out that loser Si Yao had his leg broken by someone, and now Zhou Ying is living a comfortable life.

The two women she hated most in her life were Zhou Yao and Zhou Ying.

The former occupied her status and position, and the latter coveted the man she liked. The two women were more despicable than each other. If she were to say, it might be because the feng shui of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was not good...

When Zhou Ying heard this, she first glanced at the old lady above her, then spoke:

"The Concubine is not bad either."

The Crown Prince's Consort took a look at Zhou Wan's attire. The color and style of the pearl hairpin were not outstanding, and it seemed a bit petty.

She was well aware of the importance of her sister-in-law in her mother-in-law's heart and had originally not intended to step forward. But she was too presumptuous just now and even dared to embarrass her grandmother!

But before she could speak, Zhou Wan confronted her with a sarcastic look:

"Sister-in-law, you are so ignorant. My mother, your mother-in-law, has been here for quite some time, but why haven't you served her tea?"

The Crown Prince's Consort glanced at Zhou Wan calmly, her tone neither humble nor arrogant:

"Your Highness, can you come to the palace to serve the Imperial Concubine from time to time?"

"You, you are presumptuous!"

Zhou Wan was so offended that she slammed the table. The Duke's wife looked at the Crown Prince's Consort with disapproval. Her daughter-in-law had always been obedient, so why was she so ignorant now?

"Humph, I think you are the one who is being presumptuous!"

Zhou Ying stood up and angrily scolded Zhou Wan, "She was just a concubine, or to put it bluntly, a mistress, yet she dared to show off her power time and time again!"

"Zhou Ying, you are so brave!"

Zhou Wan broke free from the hand of the founding duke's wife and stood up. The two of them stared at each other face to face, and the atmosphere was tense...

At this moment, the Crown Princess suddenly exclaimed: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

"Someone, come quickly, call the court doctor..."

"grandmother……"

"Old lady..."

"..."

The old lady was unable to breathe for a moment, her face was in pain, her lips were blue and purple, and her whole body fell backwards. The Crown Prince's wife was so scared that tears came out of her eyes, and she cried:

"My Lady Concubine, please don't be angry. Please save Grandmother first..."

Many maids and nannies rushed into the room. The Crown Prince's wife half-hugged the old lady and put one hand on her chest to relieve her breathing. Agate looked at Zhou Wan with a sullen face, then calmly ordered the maids to do their duties and sent someone to inform the Duke.

Zhou Ying couldn't get in and just glared at Zhou Wan fiercely, saying in a sharp tone:

"If anything happens to my grandmother, I will never let you go!"

"Shut up, you bitch, what does this have to do with me..."

"You two should be quiet!"

The Duke's wife spoke in a bad tone. The old lady was fine just now, why is she now...

If Wanwan really gets angry and causes trouble, the consequences will be disastrous...

Then he pulled Zhou Wan to the side. Ying, the girl from the second room, was also sharp-tongued. It would be difficult for her to find a husband with such a sharp temper...

The Duke of Zhenguo came over quickly, his face looking slightly gloomy, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on him, and his deep eyes revealed unquestionable majesty.

He sat there quietly, emitting an aura that made people dare not be unruly, as if the air had become heavy because of his presence.

The old lady had been moved to the couch by the Crown Prince's Consort, Manju and others. The court doctor was taking her pulse. Zhou Wan realized belatedly that she was a little scared and gently held the Duke's wife's arm. The mother and daughter looked at each other, not daring to breathe.

Prince Li also came over, but waited behind the outer hall. After a while, Zhou Wan came out in a panic, and Prince Li asked:

"But what happened? How is the old lady?"

Zhou Wan shook her head and said softly:

"We were just talking peacefully, and she suddenly became like this..."

"Why don't we go back? It's a mess here. Let's go back to the palace."

Prince Li looked down at Zhou Wan, his eyes dark. He and the Duke of Zhenguo were not happy in the study. The words were said three times, but they were as cold as water. Since he did not know how to deal with the current situation, we will settle the accounts in the future!

"Go back if you want."

At this time, the old lady was getting acupuncture. The Duke's wife felt a little uncomfortable. As the eldest daughter-in-law, she should serve her mother-in-law by the bedside, but the Crown Prince's wife was taking the seat. What would it say if it got out?

Seeing Zhou Wan coming in, he first glanced at the gloomy Duke of Zhenguo, then walked over and said softly:

"what happened?"

Zhou Wan took her hand and walked out: "We are ready to go back, mother, do you have any instructions?"

The Duke's wife didn't understand Zhou Wan's implication at all, and only said with a worried look:

"You are so busy caring about your grandmother that you have neglected His Highness. You..."

Zhou Wan didn't want to hear this and interrupted her directly:

"Mom, I have no money..."
