The crazy daily life of the mistress

Speaking of marriage proposal, she remembered that Lu Yi was still alive, so Mrs. Du ordered: "Make arrangements for Lu Yi, and let her go after a year or so."

Madam Du replied, "Yes, Madam, I will arrange it."

Mrs. Du did not ask about the Lu family. She was a minor official of the fifth rank who always stood at the back during court sessions and could not even see the emperor's face clearly. She did not care about his mood or reaction.

Nanny Du didn't say anything either.

Not a word worth her saying.

Lu Mansion,

Lu Chen was furious: "My good daughter has been driven crazy just one month after marrying into their family, and they won't allow me to go and take her back?!"

Yan stopped him and said, "Master! Are you the only one who is heartbroken? I am also very heartbroken, but it is curfew now. If you run out like this, won't you be caught by the people from the Five Cities Army? By then, not to mention bringing Yi'er back, you will also be beaten with a stick, and I will be left with only my two sons. What can I do?"

Lu Chen also knew that what Yan said was right, and he shook his sleeves and said, "This is really too much!"

Yan wiped away her tears and said, "Master, I will go to the Duke's Mansion to visit Yi'er tomorrow morning. I can't let them convict Yi'er with just one sentence!"

crime?

What crime?

Oh, are you talking about Yier drugging the prince’s concubine?

How can it be?

His Yi'er has been kind and lovely since she was a child. She would not even step on an ant to death. How could she drug another woman?

Yan didn't answer, but just pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Lu Chen tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep.

Mrs. Du's face was also bruised, and she came to the Duke's Mansion early in the morning.

It is reasonable to receive the in-laws when they come.

Madam Du said to Madam Yan, "My dear, I won't hide it from you. Lu Yi forced my concubine to have a miscarriage as soon as she entered the house, and gave her drugs to make her infertile. Now she is still lying in bed, half dead. Although I am just a servant, my life is also a life. Even so, I didn't beat her or scold her, I just locked her up in the yard, but she was still not satisfied and beat my personal nanny's face until it was swollen."

Xiaoyou's miscarriage was clearly caused by Zhan Shijun's attempt to hit Lu Yi and being blocked by Zhan Shuo, which led to Xiaoyou's miscarriage. Now it is actually Lu Yi's fault.

Yan glanced at Nanny Du. The swelling on her face had subsided, but the palm print was still there.

There was only one meaning behind Mrs. Du's words: the daughter raised by your Lu family has a vicious heart, but I, with compassion, have never hurt her in the slightest.

Yan was embarrassed and said, "Madam, let me go see Yi'er."

Madam Du said, "I understand your feelings, don't worry, I will treat her well. Even though she is crazy now, she is the wife of the Crown Prince married by the Duke's Mansion. I will not let the servants bully her."

The implication is that you are not allowed to see it.

Yan said, "Madam is kind and will definitely treat my daughter well, but as a mother, I want to see her even if she is crazy. I can go back and explain to my master so that I can feel at ease."

Du didn't understand what Yan said. What did she mean by "reassurance"?

Mrs. Du said, "Then go and take a look. However, let me be frank. Our two families were married by the Emperor. Since the Crown Prince's wife has done something that is against the will of Heaven and Earth, we have the right to deal with her on our own. For the Emperor's sake, let her stay in the backyard. You must not make any unreasonable demands."

Yan was puzzled and asked, "What kind of unreasonable demands are you talking about, Madam?"

Madam Du smiled and said, "Just don't say that the Crown Prince's wife is innocent and that you should take her back to her parents' home to raise her."

What Mrs. Du meant was that Lu Yi could only die in the backyard of their Duke's Mansion. She would never let Lu Yi go. Some things could only rot here.

Yan lowered her head and said nothing. It was unknown what she was thinking. Then she raised her head and said, "What does Madam Guogong mean? You might as well just say it directly."

Mrs. Du said, "Then I will speak frankly. Lu Yi is the Crown Prince's wife appointed by the Emperor. Even if she dies, she can only die in our Duke's Mansion. It is impossible for her to divorce and return home. We will not divorce her either. Our Duke's Mansion cannot afford to lose that person."

If we talk about the shame of the Duke's Mansion, it has become extremely shameful since Zhan Shijun brought Xiaoyou home.

But it was her own son who did it, so Mrs. Du would only make amends instead of blaming him.

Yan said, "I understand. Madam, please allow me to go and see her."

Madam Du finally agreed and said, "Madam Du, take a few people with you and go with Madam Lu to keep an eye on the Crown Prince's wife, lest she gets sick and hurts Madam Lu."

Nanny Du knew that Mrs. Du wanted her to supervise their meeting with her daughter to prevent Lu Yi from saying anything, such as asking for help.

Although Mrs. Du didn't care about having another life on her hands, she still wanted to consider the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. It couldn't be that Madam Lu would come to see her daughter and then disappear, right?

Nanny Du brought a few servants and led Yan to Hanhuiyuan.

Madam Du said to Yan, "Madam Lu, please wait a moment. I will go and see if the Crown Prince's wife is in a stable mood."

Yan stood at the door of Hanhui Courtyard, looked inside, and replied, "Okay, thank you, Madam."

Nanny Du remembered the beating she received yesterday, and came in with a few servants.

Lu Yi is doing horse stance with Xiaolan.

This is the beginning of the practice.

Madam Du smiled and said, "The Crown Prince's wife is in a good mood."

Lu Yi glanced at her and said, "Does your face stop hurting so soon?"

Madam Du said, "Mrs. Lu is waiting at the gate of Hanhui Courtyard to see the Crown Prince's wife."

When Lu Yi heard that his mother was coming, he immediately stopped standing and wanted to go out.

Madam Du immediately said, "Madam, you should know that the Duke's wife is the emperor's cousin and grew up with the emperor. If you don't like that fifth-rank family, they can disappear from the capital tomorrow and no one can ask any more questions."

Lu Yi stopped, thinking that Nanny Du was threatening her.

She turned around, looked at Madam Du, and said, "Madam Du, just say what you want to say."

Madam Du said, "Okay, if the Crown Prince's wife is smart, don't talk nonsense later. I promise that Madam Lu will leave the Duke's Mansion safely. Crown Prince's wife, if you let anything slip, I can't guarantee it."

Lu Yi clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and said, "Madam Du, why me? How did I offend your wife?"

Where did you offend?

How can this be considered an offense?

He was just a pawn on her mistress' chessboard from the beginning.

A chess piece, what's the point of offending or not offending?
