Gu Changxuan did not tell anyone what was in his heart.

Even though the person in front of him is his mother.

He didn't know whether this woman existed or not. If she didn't, there was no point in talking about it. If she did exist... then he couldn't even tell his mother about it.

If my mother knew that he had such a person in his heart, this woman would completely disappear from this world.

So Gu Changxuan quickly changed the subject: "Where's Jiarou?"

When Concubine Xian heard him asking about her daughter's whereabouts, she really didn't think about the previous things anymore. Instead, she sighed and said helplessly, "He went to find that kid from the Ming family again."

"I don't know what kind of poison he put on your sister, making her only care about him and not even listen to me."

Empress Xian became a little angry when she talked about this.

The more obedient the son is, the more ignorant the daughter is.

Knowing clearly that it was impossible for her to marry Ming Jingheng, she still rushed to Ming Jingheng, which was really a disgrace to the princess!

Gu Changxuan frowned slightly when he heard this: "Mother, you should take good care of Jiarou and don't let her get into trouble. Ming Jingheng is not someone she can marry."

"At least not yet."

Empress Xian naturally knew this too.

They have no say in the marriage of their sons and daughters.

It would be fine if Xuan'er was favored by His Majesty now, but at this time, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are still here, so how could they have the chance to come forward?

"Don't worry, I will take good care of your sister. I have been looking for candidates for her to be a prince consort for a while. It is better to arrange a marriage for her as soon as possible to stop her from having such thoughts."

Gu Changxuan nodded.

He doesn't care who his sister marries, as long as she doesn't cause him trouble.

……

The next day.

The Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion received a letter from the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion.

The servant brought the card to Feng and said it was an invitation from Anyuan Marquis's Mansion. When Feng heard this, her face turned a little unhappy.

She had just had a big fight with Zhou Zhaoru yesterday, and she didn't want to bother with anyone from Anyuan Marquis' Mansion.

She said nothing and had no desire to take it herself.

In the end, it was Zhang's mother who reached out and took the post.

After opening the invitation, Mother Zhang saw the words on it and let out a soft "hmm".

"doing what?"

Mrs. Feng said unhappily that she felt that Mrs. Zhang had become too noisy and had no manners.

Mother Zhang knows her limits.

After a brief moment of surprise, she turned around and said to Feng: "The words on it don't look like they belong to me."

"What's so strange?"

Feng said nonchalantly, "Who is she? The wife of Marquis Anyuan, the future mother-in-law of the fourth prince. What a distinguished identity."

After she sneered, she sneered, "With such a big frame, how dare a family like us trouble her to do it herself?"

Speaking of this, Feng couldn't help but think of the look Zhou Zhaoru gave her yesterday.

She became more and more unhappy and didn't even want to look at the post. She waved her hand and asked Zhang's mother to throw it aside, obviously intending to out of sight and out of mind.

Madam Zhang looked hesitant, but after looking at the words above, she hesitated for a moment and decided to tell Feng: "This old servant thinks that this handwriting looks like that of the second lady of the Marquis's Mansion."

"what?"

When Feng heard this, she was surprised.

Without caring about being angry, she asked Zhang's mother, "Are you serious?"

As the words came out, Feng's hand had already reached out.

As Madam Zhang handed the note to the person, she said to Feng: "I have seen the handwriting of the second lady before. It looks a bit similar to the one above, but I am not sure."

When Zhang's mother was speaking.

Feng had already opened the invitation in her hand.

The big red post with gold stamping looked very impressive, but Feng didn't have time to consider whether it looked impressive or not. She was eager to read the words inside.

After opening it, she was surprised and said, "It really is."

"How could it be Ye Xi's doing?" she murmured.

Mother Zhang didn't understand either, and guessed, "Maybe the Second Madam is helping my aunt?"

Feng glanced at her, obviously not thinking this was possible. She sneered, "How can Zhou Zhaoru be willing to give up such a face-saving thing? If she said she wanted to help with some odd jobs, I would believe it... Besides, Zhou Zhaoru was jealous of Ye Xi's good handwriting. How could she let Ye Xi write?"

She had a vague guess in her mind, but she felt it was unlikely, so she asked the maid who had replied, "Are the people from Anyuan Marquis' Mansion still here?"

The maid replied respectfully, "She is still drinking tea in the gatehouse. Do you want to see her?"

If this had happened before, Feng would never have met him.

She felt annoyed when she looked at Zhou Zhaoru, and the same was true when she looked at the people in Anyuan Marquis Mansion.

But now, holding the note in her hand, Feng spoke without hesitation: "Go and invite the person."

The maidservant nodded softly and then left.

Mother Zhang looked at Feng's expression and asked suspiciously, "Do you think something happened to my aunt?"

"Speaking of which..." Mother Zhang suddenly thought of something and said, "It seems that Princess Fuhua returned to Beijing yesterday."

When Feng heard this, her eyes flickered slightly.

She held the post and said, "We'll know if anything went wrong soon."

"I hope something happens to her, so she doesn't take herself too seriously with her frivolous attitude all day long."

After a while.

The maid who had gone to reply earlier came over with a well-dressed mother.

Feng felt that the mother looked unfamiliar. It was obvious that she was not one of those people Zhou Zhaoru often employed. After everyone had greeted her, Feng asked them to sit down while smiling, "The mother looks unfamiliar. I wonder what job she does in the Marquis' Mansion?"

The housekeeper only took up half the seat. Upon hearing this, she replied very generously: "Madam, I am working in the second lady's room."

When Feng heard this, her eyes flashed again.

Even my heart couldn't hold back and it beat violently a few times.

He is really Ye Xi’s man!

"It turns out that she is Sister Ye's person. I wonder why you look so generous." Feng smiled and complimented. After hearing the housekeeper hurriedly say that she dared not, she pretended to be ignorant and asked, "But why is my niece's affairs under Sister Ye's management?"

"My sister-in-law came back yesterday and told me about this."

"This……"

When the housekeeper heard this, she suddenly looked hesitant.

"Could it be that my sister-in-law has caused some trouble?" Feng asked deliberately.

“No, no!”

The housekeeper had obviously been reminded of this when she came, and she immediately replied, "My aunt is just not feeling well, and the eldest princess feels sorry for her hard work, so she asked our wife and the third wife to help share some of the burden."

Feng glanced at the housekeeper's expression.

Although she tried her best to hide it, one could still see that the housekeeper was a little flustered.

Before Feng could even say anything, the housekeeper smiled and said, "I still have a lot of invitations to send, so I won't bother you for now."

Since Feng had already gotten the answer he wanted, he naturally didn't keep anyone anymore.

She asked someone to send the housekeeper out.

As soon as she left, Feng immediately held the note and laughed: "Zhou Zhaoru, you have come to this day, let's see how you can be proud of me in the future!"

Her tone was pleased, and she even had a feeling of revenge.

She also didn't expect that Zhou Zhaoru, who was so arrogant in front of her and looked down on their family yesterday, would end up like this today!

God must have opened his eyes!

Mother Zhang was the only one in the room at the moment.

Mother Zhang saw her smile so happily, but still looked surprised: "When my aunt left yesterday, I didn't see anything wrong with her."

Feng glanced at her and said, "I think you are really getting old and confused now."

Mother Zhang was surprised: "Do you think this is an excuse? But for no reason..." Thinking of Princess Fuhua returning home yesterday, someone else was assigned to do this job today.

Mother Zhang couldn't help but speculate quietly: "Could it be that my aunt has made the princess unhappy?"

It has been almost twenty years since Feng married into the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion.

Over the years, no matter what kind of relationship she had with Zhou Zhaoru, she was still quite close to the Anyuan Marquisate, and she had some understanding of the temperament of the Princess Fuhua.

"That old man is not the kind of person who gets angry easily, otherwise how could my sister-in-law have lived so happily these years?"

"I read……"

Feng groaned and said, "This matter is most likely related to my niece who just came home."

"Cousin?" Mother Zhang looked surprised.

"That idiot Zhou Zhaoru must have done something to my niece, and the old ancestor happened to know about it, which made the old ancestor so angry that he didn't even give Zhou Zhaoru the slightest bit of shame."

The more Feng spoke, the happier she became, and she almost wanted to clap her hands.

"I was right. From now on, we'll have some fun to watch."

Mother Zhang knew about the dirty things going on between her wife and that young lady. They had become more and more exposed over the years and could no longer be hidden.

Anyway, they couldn't become in-laws anymore and there was no one around, so she didn't say anything to dissuade the lady from being so happy and just let Feng enjoy herself.

"But it seems that our cousin doesn't have a deep relationship with my aunt, otherwise if she had said a few words for my aunt, this matter wouldn't have turned out like this." Mother Zhang hit Feng's leg with a beauty hammer.

"Zhou Zhaoru didn't clean up his own mess and left such a troublemaker at home. It would be strange if he could have a good relationship with her."

Feng didn't care what kind of relationship her niece had with Zhou Zhaoru.

The more the mother and daughter quarreled, the happier she was!

"Go back to the storehouse and prepare a generous gift for my niece. On such a happy day, I must congratulate her."

She had originally thought about not going to Marquis Anyuan's Mansion at that time, so as to avoid getting angry when seeing Zhou Zhaoru's frivolous behavior.

But now, she just couldn't wait for August 23rd to arrive.

Let all the people in the capital see Zhou Zhaoru's miserable appearance. Even the preparations for her own daughter's birthday ceremony were replaced by others. She wanted to see what Zhou Zhaoru's expression would be at that time!

I'm afraid I'd be so embarrassed that I wouldn't even dare to leave the door!

Feng couldn't help but clapped her hands and shouted again: "It's great!"

Seeing that she was rarely happy, Zhang's mother naturally smiled as well. Just as she was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from outside: "The girl is here."

The master and servant looked outside and saw Zhou Shuangyue coming.

After the fight between mother and daughter yesterday, Zhou Shuangyue didn't even come for dinner. Now she came in looking sick, obviously she didn't get enough rest last night.

Seeing her like this, Feng felt angry and worried.

Mother Zhang stood up and saluted Zhou Shuangyue: "Miss."

Although Feng didn't say anything, she looked at Zhou Shuangyue without blinking. When she saw Zhou Shuangyue lower her eyes and greet her, she called "mother" in a very hoarse voice.

After all, she was the daughter that she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy.

Even if Feng was angry, she couldn't bear to see her like this. She personally stood up and helped Zhou Shuangyue up: "Why are you here when you're feeling unwell?"

The voice coming out sounded hard.

After bringing the person to sit next to him, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Have you eaten? Are you hungry?"

Zhou Shuangyue's eyes suddenly turned red.

She cried and called out "Mom", then reached out and hugged Feng.

Feng couldn't help herself when she was hugged like this, and her eyes started to turn red.

Putting her hand on Zhou Shuangyue's head and stroking it gently, Feng Shi also became hoarse and comforted her: "Don't cry, he is just a man, it's no big deal."

"Mom will definitely find you someone better in the future!" She gritted her teeth and promised Zhou Shuangyue.

Zhou Shuangyue just cried and didn't say a word.

Feng didn't scold her at this time. She hugged Zhou Shuangyue and let her cry.

People have to go through this experience personally before they can grow up.

Seeing the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, Mother Zhang did not dare to disturb them and left first.

Zhou Shuangyue didn’t know how long she cried.

She cried until her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't see anymore and no tears could fall out of them. Then she wiped her tears and sat up straight.

"My daughter made me worry." She apologized to Feng.

When Feng heard this, she knew that she had figured it out. She gently rubbed Zhou Shuangyue's head and said softly, "Mom only cares about you and your brother. If I don't worry about you, who should I worry about?"

"Look at your swollen eyes."

Feng frowned and asked Zhang's mother to call someone to prepare boiled eggs, intending to give them to Zhou Shuangyue. She also asked Zhou Shuangyue if she wanted to eat.

But Zhou Shuangyue had no appetite at all. She shook her head.

However, Feng didn't want her to ruin her body, so she asked Zhang to ask the kitchen to prepare bird's nest.

Zhou Shuangyue didn't say anything either.

After Zhang's mother left.

"Mom." Zhou Shuangyue pulled Feng to sit down, "I have something to tell you."

"What?" Feng sat down.

Zhou Shuangyue looked at Feng and said, "It's about my third brother..."
