On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Mrs. Wu looked at the old lady in shock.

"Mother, you..."

"What? You refuse again. I knew you were just pretending." Old Madam Wu said sarcastically, "If you really want me to live two more years, go to Qingfeng Temple."

Madam Wu stood in silence for a long while, then bowed and said, "As you wish, daughter-in-law. Goodbye... Mother."

She kowtowed three times, then stood up and left.

Zhu'er was beside her, her eyes reddened: "Madam, why is the old lady like this? It's too much! You are only thinking about her, but she still said this to you, it's too much!"

Madam Wu closed her eyes slightly and said, "Go back and pack your things, Zhu'er, you don't have to follow me, just stay in the mansion."

Zhu Er couldn't help crying: "How can I do this? Madam, I have to serve you. Qingfeng Temple is hard, how can you do it alone?"

Mrs. Wu lowered her head and said nothing. Zhu'er whispered, "Why not talk to the master? Maybe..."

"No need. Why make it difficult for him? My husband is not having a good time either. Men are not allowed to go to Qingfeng Nunnery. If I go, he will be more relaxed in the mansion. The old lady can't force both of us into a dead end."

Zhu'er nodded and said nothing more.

……

Butler Wu asked someone to quietly spread the news that the eldest lady of the palace was bullying the old lady of the Wu family, and Yinding and the others were not idle either.

The confession was sent to the inner house and given to the eldest lady. After reading it, the eldest lady laughed a few times and gave it to Yan Ruyu and the others to circulate.

Madam Cao sneered, "This Madam Wu really doesn't have much literary talent. She is so proud of Old Master Wu, but she doesn't know how to improve her own literary talent."

Yan Ruyu was not very proficient in ancient Chinese, but she could see that the text was indeed not very good.

After hearing what Madam Cao said, she asked, "How did she marry Mr. Wu when she was just an average writer?"

"This is an interesting story," Madam Cao sipped her tea, "and it all started when Madam Wu was young."

"This Madam Wu has a concubine sister, who is the mother of the eldest master of the Wu family. She is a talented woman, but her appearance is average. Although Madam Wu is old and a bit mean now, she was a beauty when she was young."

"It's a pity that she is a fool beauty who has been spoiled by her mother. Her family is considered to be a wealthy family. Normally, she should marry a businessman to run the business and manage the household. But she fell in love with Mr. Wu and wanted to marry a scholar."

"But she didn't like reading at all, and her literary talent was just average, so she came up with an idea and asked her half-sister to write some poems for her. After a few discussions, she really promised to spend her life with Mr. Wu, and she finally married him."

"But the truth cannot be hidden. After she got married, she could no longer force her sister to write poems for her. It didn't take long for the truth to come out, and she told everyone about the writing for her."

The eldest lady couldn't help but ask, "What happened next?"

"Later," Mrs. Cao sneered, "Mr. Wu was naturally furious and accused her of cheating on his marriage. He wanted to go to her parents' house to argue. She knew she was in the wrong, so she wanted to make amends and admit her mistake."

"It's hard for most people to think of such a wicked method. She invited my concubine to her house, pretended to be kind and deceived her, and coaxed her into getting drunk, and then..."

Mrs. Cao shook her head, and the others also understood.

Yan Ruyu's face darkened slightly. Madam Cao continued, "If Shujie wakes up and loses her innocence, how can she survive? Old Master Wu doesn't want anyone to die, so he said he wants to take her as a concubine."

"As a result, I'm sure everyone has seen it. Not long after Madam Wu got married, her concubine sister was also taken into the mansion. This kind of thing is rare in the first place. What's more coincidental is that her concubine sister became pregnant and gave birth to her eldest concubine son before her."

"So, this is why Madam Wu hates the first wife so much and always dislikes Madam Wu."

The eldest lady slammed the table and said, "What a sin! Isn't this her own fault? Who can she blame? She feels wronged because she made others suffer."

"Yes, her half-sister also had a miserable life. When she was at home, she suffered a lot from the mother and daughter. She hoped that getting married could change her fate and get rid of them, but..."

"Needless to say, she was extremely distressed. Not long after giving birth to her first son, she passed away."

Yan Ruyu held the confession in her hand and said to the eldest lady, "Mother, please lend me this."

"Okay, take it."

Yan Ruyu turned and walked out, handed the letter to Yinding, and asked him to follow the plan.

As soon as he gave the order, Huo Changhe came over.

He had heard the beating of gongs and drums before, and he immediately understood what was going on and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Just now, after hearing Yan Ruyu's instructions again, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Offending our family is like kicking a stone wall for the Wu family."

When Yan Ruyu heard him say this, she guessed that he was also going to take action.

"Hmm? What did the prince do?"

"It's nothing, just a little trouble for the Third Master of the Wu Family."

Yan Ruyu did not ask in detail. The Wu family came to her on their own initiative. Since they wanted to stand on the side of Princess Yongchang, let them make it clear.

As the two were talking, Bee Whistle came over quickly.

"My Lord, Princess, there is a piece of news circulating on the street."

"explain."

"It is said that the eldest lady took advantage of her power to bully the old lady of the Wu family. Old Master Wu has some reputation, and a few people still expect him to teach their children, so..."

Yan Ruyu understood immediately.

But she was not panicked at all.

"No rush, let them pass it, and I'll give them a good slap in the face later."

Feng Shao was confident that Yan Ruyu would have a way. After hearing what she said, he felt even more confident.

"However, we still need to keep a close eye on them, especially the leaders and the sources of information. We need to keep an eye on them and catch them."

"Yes, little man, go right away."

Bee Whistle went to do it quickly.

Yan Ruyu asked, "My Lord, is there anything I can do for you now?"

"No, why?"

"If not, we will go to the posthouse and give the Eighth Princess some reassurance."

"Okay." Huo Changhe nodded, "I'll go get the letter."

He went back to the room, picked up the written letter, and went to the inn together.

The Eighth Princess was very nervous, wondering if Huo Changhe would help her again.

Just as I was daydreaming, Tang Yibai came.

When she saw him, the Eighth Princess couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Tang Yibai said calmly: "What's wrong with the princess? You look disturbed."

The Eighth Princess was even more panicked, and she forced a smile: "No, with Commander Tang here, how could I be uneasy?"

Tang Yibai was not interested in this kind of compliment at all.

"Princess, don't worry. In two days, there will be a caravan heading to Kyoto. Come with us, and we will set off as soon as they arrive."

The Eighth Princess was suspicious. A caravan? She had never heard of any caravan in Dacheng that could travel with the wedding procession.

Royal caravan? That's not right either. Caravans are mostly at the border or go to places with abundant silk and tea. Although the capital is prosperous, it is not a good choice for caravans.

She knew it was useless to ask, so she took note of it secretly, hoping to see if she could find any clues and then tell Huo Changhe about it as an exchange.

At this moment, the guarding soldier came to report that the Prince of Zhennan and his wife had arrived.
