The guard looked down at the man on the ground coldly: "Uncle? Oh, do you think the Crown Prince would care? Are you worthy enough?"

Being in the royal family, the most luxurious thing is to talk about blood ties.

"Watch your mouth. What you did was neither big nor small. As long as the compensation is paid, your life will not be taken. After a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will find a way to rescue you."

"But if you dare to say one more word that you shouldn't, I promise that you won't see the sun tomorrow, including your family!"

After saying this, he sheathed his sword with a swish and walked away.

In the East Palace, Chief Eunuch Cai Zhong waited on Ling Heng as he got off the carriage, and whispered, "Your Highness, the Marquis of Yongning came an hour ago. Please find a way to save his wife's life."

Ling Heng took a deep breath. If Liu fell into Bai Hongxian's hands, how could she have a good ending?

"Go and tell him that I will take his matter to heart and ask him to be careful and not fall into the trap set by others. I will rescue his wife from prison in two days at most."

Cai Zhong quickly replied, "Yes," and sent someone to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion to report back.

……

When Li Shuangwan returned to the Duke's Mansion, it was almost dusk.

When she came back, she saw Aunt Cai waiting there with a smile on her face. When she saw her, she took a few steps forward and said, "The princess is finally back. I have kept you waiting for so long."

Li Shuangwan raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Madame Cai came to see me, is there something wrong? I heard that grandma woke up two days ago."

Madam Cai's smile remained unchanged: "Yes, thanks to the princess, the old lady's illness has improved a lot."

"I came here today because the old lady asked me to tell the princess that the Duke and several young masters will be on vacation in two days, so the old lady plans to hold a family banquet to help the princess clear her name."

Li Shuangwan's lips curled up. Does she, Li Shuangyan, still need to clarify her identity?

"Dad has already written my name into the family tree."

Madam Cai's face froze. "After all, it was the old lady's intention. To the outside world, whether it's the first or second branch of the Duke's Mansion, they are still one family. You can't write two Li characters with one stroke, Princess, don't you agree?"

Li Shuangwan snorted in his heart, but said, "Okay, I'll trouble Madam Cai to tell Grandmother that Yan'er will go to Songhe Hall to pay her respects to her that day."

She wanted to take a good look at what conspiracy this vicious old woman had come up with.

"Well, okay, I will go back now."

"Mammy, take care."

Li Shuangwan turned around and was about to go back to the house.

Madam Cai turned around and said, "Princess."

Li Shuangwan turned sideways: "Madam, is there anything else?"

Madam Cai said half embarrassedly and half reluctantly: "Princess, please listen to my advice. There is no overnight hatred between grandparents and grandchildren. The old lady just spoke frankly and angered the princess, but privately, the old lady still loves her grandchildren."

"After the old lady woke up, she felt extremely guilty and said that she shouldn't have said that that day. She was also thinking about the Duke's Mansion, but she didn't expect to say the wrong thing."

He speaks his mind and means what he thinks. Haha, Li Shuangwan sneered. He is obviously a vicious person. As soon as he opens his mouth, he turns black into white.

"In that case, since you have been serving the old lady for so long, you should persuade her more. When you can't speak, the best way is to keep silent."

"After all, the old lady is already old, and she still can't learn how to speak. If it gets out, she will just be laughed at. Madam Cai, don't you think so?"

Madam Cai’s expression became even more rigid.

This princess has a very sharp tongue and is very merciless when she speaks.

He pulled his face stiffly and said, "Yeah, haha, yeah, yes, the princess is right."

Li Shuangwan came into the room.

Hong Shuang helped her wash her hands and change her clothes, and whispered, "Princess, someone from the old lady's family is coming today."

Li Shuangwan didn't stop: "Did you see who it was?"

"Yes, I saw it clearly. It was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, with willow-shaped eyebrows, almond eyes, an oval face, and a well-proportioned figure. Especially her eyes, no matter how I looked at them, I felt that she was pretentious."

"Princess, this girl doesn't look like a good person at first glance."

How could Li Shuangwan not know who she was? He was waiting for her.

The corners of her mouth curled up coldly. The old lady came back early, and this woman came early as well.

She wanted to see what kind of trouble this woman could cause as long as she was around.

Li Shuangwan's eyes were cold: "Keep an eye on her."

"Yes. Princess, the things you asked me to do have been done. The servants brought by the old lady have accepted the silver given by me."

Li Shuangwan's lips curled slightly: "Since you have accepted my money, you have to do things for me. So, go find them now and tell them to do this."

After hearing this, Hong Shuang nodded and said, "Yes, Princess, don't worry, this is not difficult. I heard that the old lady loves Li Shuangmiao the most."

Li Shuangwan nodded. Li Shuangmiao was the most like her, so he loved her the most.

……

When Madam Cai returned to Songhe Courtyard, the old lady was half lying on the bed. She asked with a cold face, "Did that little bitch say anything?"

Madam Cai said angrily, "The princess said that she would come to pay her respects to the old lady in the morning in two days."

"Humph, she still knows that she is just a junior! She doesn't even know the rules of morning and evening visits. It's obvious that the Shuguo Mansion in Daliang is not a well-educated and well-behaved family, which is why she has become so domineering."

Madam Cai stepped forward and pulled up the thin blanket on her body: "Old Madam, when the princess came that day, please don't say those things again. If it gets out, it will eventually become the gossip of the Duke's Mansion, and people will laugh at it."

The old lady thought Madam Cai was being nosy: "You don't need to tell me about these things. Go get the bracelet from my cabinet."

She's just a little bitch, there's no way I can deal with her.

Madam Cai's face changed. That bracelet was...

"Old, old lady..."

The relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren has eased a little, how can the old lady, alas...

If the Duke knew about this, I don't know what kind of trouble he would cause.

"What are you making so much noise for? Just take it when I tell you to!" The old lady glared at him with a vicious look on her face.

Aunt Cai shut her mouth tightly.

But at this moment, the noisy sound outside reached Songhe Hall.

The old lady was already in a depressed mood, and when she heard the noisy noise, she slapped the edge of the bed heavily, making the red sandalwood bed board make a dull sound.

"What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about? This Duke's Mansion has been run by that woman Zhu. It's so shameful!"

Madam Cai hurried out and saw three or two maids gathered together, chatting animatedly.

I could vaguely hear the words "Crown Princess".

They are all so tactless. Didn't you see that the old lady has been very angry with those people from the first wife's house these days?

He shouted, "What are you doing? You don't have to work anymore, right?"

When the maids heard Madam Cai's voice, they hurriedly shut up and stepped aside.
