All the wives speculated that the Qi family must be the one that Gu Zicong himself liked, and it was possible that Gu Zicong personally asked for the marriage decree.

Moreover, according to the pillow conversations of their adults after returning home, Gu Zicong's behavior after marriage is much softer than before, and all signs show that Gu Zicong loves this Qi family.

Those active wives knew Gu Zicong's position in the emperor's heart, so they naturally knew that they should make friends with this Qi family.

But there are also some who are not very smart and believe the rumors, thinking that Gu Zicong was forced by the emperor's decree to marry this Qi family.

The woman speaking in front of me, Princess Danyang of Changping Changping's family, and the Fifth Miss of Uncle Liu's family who spoke earlier are one of them.

These two were also one of the group of noble girls who once loved Gu Zicong, but later they couldn't love each other, and were married to others by their families.

Of course, among the people present, only the two of them dared to act in such a disregard of the host's face because of their own identities.

Qi is Li Wenkang's niece, but Xu Nianfei is Li Wenkang's wife Guo's niece, plus all the twists and turns in the past, many wives present felt that Princess Danyang had gone too far. They frowned but did not dare to stand up and offend others.

Over there, Xu Nianfei was caught off guard by Princess Danyang's question.

Before going out this time, she and her eldest aunt had been warned by her grandfather to the study room. This time was a happy event at her aunt's house. If anything happened to embarrass her uncle and aunt, they would be kicked out. Go back to live in Zhuangzi in my hometown in the countryside.

Her grandfather never intervened much in these internal affairs before, but since her third cousin failed the imperial examination and was sent by the emperor to serve as the prince's attendant, the whole situation has changed drastically.

My grandfather had even reprimanded my grandmother many times because of the affairs of the inner house. Her grandfather always said nothing, so in order not to be driven to live in Zhuangzi, especially with her eldest aunt.

Speaking of her eldest aunt, she used to be very kind to her, but after becoming her mother-in-law, she seemed to be a different person and made things difficult for her everywhere.

She doesn't want to live in Zhuangzi with her aunt.

So this time, she decided to just shrink in the corner for the whole time, out of sight and out of mind, and wait until this time to talk about anything.

But who knew that Princess Danyang wanted to embarrass her.

Seeing that Xu Nianfei didn't reply for a long time, Danyang frowned and raised his voice a degree: "Xu Nianfei, are you deaf when the princess talks to you?"

She knew that Danyang wanted to see her joke on purpose.

But Princess Danyang has a nature of vengeance. Xu Nianfei has learned from childhood that as long as someone dares to disobey her once, she will target her everywhere in the future.

Looking at the whole of Da Yu and the noble ladies of their generation, there are only a few princesses... plus Zhao Jingwan from the Marquis of Changxing, Danyang dare not offend.

Xu Nianfei didn't speak, Danyang said again: "Good Xu Nianfei, how dare you not answer the words of the Princess."

Xu Nianfei was forced to cry by Princess Danyang's words, she obviously didn't do anything today...

She glanced at Mrs. Xu, the eldest aunt beside her, thinking that she could help her out, but Mrs. Xu's eyes dodged, obviously not daring to offend Princess Danyang.

Her mother and everyone in the Xu family hadn't arrived yet, and her aunt and the others were also away, so Xu Nianfei really cried this time.

"It's fine, why are you crying?"

A little girl's clear voice came from behind the crowd.

Danyang deliberately embarrassed Xu Nianfei, who made her dare to plot against Gu Zicong so shamelessly, and even foolishly said that Gu Zicong would marry her in her dream, anyone would dare to think about it.

Since she, Xu Nianfei, dared to do such a thing, she should have thought that today would happen.

She waited for this opportunity for a long time, presumably none of the people present dared to speak for Xu Nianfei, even those who dared to speak for Xu Nianfei would not come out to take this muddy water.

She wanted to humiliate Xu Nianfei severely, even with that Qi family, she would not let it go easily.

But I didn't expect that she had just set up the stage, and the play hadn't even started yet, but she had such a tough bone, she really dared to stand up.

She didn't expect that Xu Nianfei's character was so poor that someone would stand up and speak up for her. She wanted to see who was so bold as to oppose her.

Danyang looked at the person speaking in the crowd, and smiled contemptuously: "It's you."

Li Nianyue dragged Qi Nuan out of nowhere, took out her handkerchief from her sleeve and threw it to Xu Nianfei to wipe away tears: "I'm still a crybaby at such a big age."

Then she squinted her eyes and looked at Danyang: "The princess forced my cousin to speak ill of another cousin at my house, but it's not kind?"

Seeing that it was Li Nianyue who came, Danyang didn't pay attention to her, she fiddled with her sleeves casually, and said casually: "It's a well-known fact that your cousin is a businessman, but you are talking about this county. The Lord said something bad about your cousin. Also, I'm talking to Xu Nianfei, so it's your turn to intervene."

This scene in the backyard was being witnessed by a few young masters sitting on the roof not far away. These young masters were King Jin Qi Jin, Prince Rui's son Qi Xing, and the third son Zhang Jingkai of the Minister of War's family.

Zhang Jingkai knew that Li Nianyue had always been at odds with her cousin Xu, but he never expected that she would stand up and speak for her cousin Xu at this time.

Distinguishing right from wrong and speaking up for justice, she really deserves to be the girl he admires.

However, before he was happy for a few seconds, Princess Danyang started to make things difficult for Li Nianyue again.Not only Li Nianyue, but even the little girl from the Qi family next to her was scolded together.

From the corner of Zhang Jingkai's eyes, King Jin who was next to him couldn't help but sit up straight and stared at the yard over there. He knew that King Jin had never been a meddler, and he didn't know why he suddenly became so interested in bickering with a few girls.

Of course, he wasn't interested in girls' quarrels, he paid attention to her because his sweetheart was inside.

Seeing that Li Nianyue was about to suffer, Zhang Jingkai couldn't help feeling a little anxious, looked at King Jin beside him and said, "I remember Princess An Ning came out of the palace with His Highness, why isn't Princess here now?"

He remembered that Princess Anning had a good relationship with Li Nianyue and the others. With Princess Anning around, he couldn't watch Danyang bully Li Nianyue and his sisters.

King Jin put his hands on his knees and gave a soft "tsk" sound: "An Ning said that he would go to Ningguohou's mansion first to visit the old Madam Hou, and then come with Madam Hou and the others. Counting the time, they should still be here right now. on the way."

Zhang Jingkai frowned, but because he is a foreigner, it is not convenient for him to go to the inner courtyard at the moment, and why Mrs. Li and the others are not here at this time.

Unexpectedly, he just muttered about not seeing Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li appeared in the yard the next second, so he stretched his neck and looked into the yard.
