After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Murong Lingyi didn't like Xue Changfeng, but she probably felt that Xue Changfeng was hers, so she often made trouble for Zhou. And if Mrs. Zhou wants to secure her position as wife, she cannot continue to be weak.

Bai Jingyu said she was tired, and Liu Yunxiang helped her go to the waterside pavilion in front to rest.

"By the way, two days ago I went into the palace to pay my respects to the queen, and met the Changning Princess from Beijin. The queen seemed to want her to marry the third prince as a concubine, but the Changning Princess said that she was in love with the seventh prince. Your Highness."

Speaking of this, Bai Jingyu looked at Liu Yunxiang, "She said that she had a relationship with His Majesty Seventh Prince. Do you know about this?"

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "I know."

"Are they serious?"

"False." Liu Yunxiang said helplessly, "She saved Lao Qi, and she remembers this kindness. If she insists on saying that, we can't stop her mouth."

Bai Jingyu clicked her tongue, "How can a woman use her reputation to force a man to marry her?"

The two talked for a while, and when they saw others walking towards the west courtyard, they also passed by.

The banquet in the west courtyard was ready, and when they entered, Jiang Yunying was greeting the guests. Bai Jingyu wanted to help, but Jiang Yunying pulled her to sit down on the main seat and told her not to worry.

Liu Yunxiang was also assigned to the main seat, and she was at the same table as Bai Jingyu.

After all the female family members were seated, the banquet began, and dishes were served one after another. At this time, a neatly dressed woman wearing a green t-shirt, her hair pulled into a bun, and an embroidered belt around her waist came rushing over.

"Oops, sorry everyone, I'm late."

This woman is Mrs. Xiao. She seems to have just come from the powder shop, with her sleeves still rolled up. Different from these exquisitely dressed female relatives, they are more like servants doing odd jobs.

Jiang Yunying came over and said, "It's not too late, it's not too late. Mrs. Xiao took time out of her busy schedule to come here. It gives us enough face."

She looked around and saw that there were still a few empty seats, but she pointed to the last seat: "Madam, go and sit down over there."

Mrs. Xiao looked over and was facing the door. She didn't care at all, but when she walked over, the woman sitting next to her said sarcastically: "Mrs. Xiao, why didn't you bring a few boxes of rouge and gouache, just in time to sell them to us. "

Mrs. Xiao's smile faded, "Madam, if you want to buy fragrant powder, you can go to my shop another day."

"I often go to Peach Blossom Pavilion. The rouge and gouache there is excellent. I don't like the ordinary ones."

Mrs. Xiao didn't want to talk to her and was about to sit down when the woman moved her chair to the side in disgust and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, as if she was afraid that the smell of cheap powder would choke her.

Not only is she like this, but other female relatives are also like this. For a moment, Mrs. Xiao could neither sit nor sit down.

"Mrs. Xiao, come to my place. There happens to be room available." Liu Yunxiang called to Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao turned around and saw Liu Yunxiang, so she walked over generously and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, she smelled Liu Yunxiang's body and said, "Princess, did you use the powder I gave you?"

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "It's fragrant and elegant, I like it very much."

"The princess knows what's good."

"It's really good stuff."

When Bai Jingyu heard this, she tilted her head and said to Mrs. Xiao, "I will also go to your shop to pick out a few boxes someday."

Mrs. Xiao said hurriedly: "Just wait at home, I will deliver it to you another day."

Bai Jingyu smiled, "That's fine."

Seeing the two people's defense, the others could only chatter, especially Jiang Yunying. She originally arranged for Mrs. Xiao to sit at the end, but now she sits in the main seat, a seat that she cannot sit on.

The banquet was served. Jiang Yunying checked the heads and said with a sigh: "Why haven't Princess Zhaohua and Aunt Zhou come yet? You go to the garden and invite them both."

Liu Yunxiang took a look and saw that there were three empty seats. Xie Wenqing had been beaten and her cheeks were red and swollen. She must have gone back first. The remaining two belonged to Murong Lingyi and Zhou, and she had a hunch that something might have happened. Sure enough, not long after, a maid came over and said something in Jiang Yunying's ear.

Jiang Yunying's expression changed, and she hurried to Bai Jingyu and said, "Princess Zhaohua had a conflict with the Zhou family and pushed her into the lake. No one was allowed to rescue her."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jingyu quickly got up and walked out.

Liu Yunxiang thought of Xue Changfeng's intention to help find Xiao Wu, so he quickly followed, and Mrs. Xiao was with her.

When they came to the lake, Murong Lingyi was standing there with her hands on her hips and a cruel smile on her face, while Pan was struggling in the lake and asking for help. Although she could swim, she was weak and the water was too cold. Some can't hold on anymore.

Seeing this, Bai Jingyu hurriedly asked the maids around her to go and rescue people.

"Fourth Princess, Mrs. Zhou would like to go swimming for a while, please don't let anyone disturb you."

"Princess Zhaohua, this is going to cost someone's life!" Bai Jingyu said anxiously.

"It's just a cheap life!"

"The county master..."

"If anyone goes down to catch her today, this princess will remember her!"

As soon as these words came out, those who wanted to persuade Murong Lingyi took back their steps. Who doesn't know that Murong Lingyi is the eldest princess's only daughter, and she dotes on her extremely. The emperor is her uncle, and he is responsive to her requests.

And Murong Lingyi has always been arrogant and domineering. If he offends her and gets her attention, he will definitely be in trouble in the future.

Liu Yunxiang saw that Zhou was already drowning, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Even if you are the princess, if you kill someone, you will have to pay with your life!"

Murong Lingyi turned around and saw Liu Yunxiang, his eyes narrowed, "Why do you want to meddle in this business?"

"Zijin, go down and save people!" Liu Yunxiang shouted to Zijin beside him.

Zi Jin wanted to go down, but two maids who knew kung fu appeared next to Murong Lingyi and stopped her, and they started fighting for a while. Liu Yunxiang saw that Zhou had submerged in the water and hurriedly wanted to go down by herself, but Murong Lingyi stopped her.

At this moment, Mrs. Xiao jumped into the water and quickly fished Ms. Zhou out.

Murong Lingyi's expression became distorted, and he actually ordered the servants around him not to allow them to go ashore.

"Princess Zhaohua! These are two lives!"

"No one can disobey this princess!"

Seeing that Murong Lingyi was going crazy, Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but reach out and slap her.

"How dare you hit this princess!"

"You are nothing but a princess. I am the Princess of Zhenbei!" Liu Yunxiang straightened his chest, suppressed Murong Lingyi's arrogance, and shouted at the maids and women who were blocking Mrs. Xiao, "Who wants to stop me again?" Come on, I will take her life today!"

As soon as these words came out, the maids and ladies did not dare to stop them. After all, the princess really wanted to kill them, and the princess could not stop them, and the eldest princess could not challenge the Zhenbei Palace for the lives of their servants.

While these people were hesitating, Mrs. Xiao fished Zhou out.

Bai Jingyu was so frightened that she quickly ordered her servants to take them to the flower hall.

Since Mrs. Zhou's last miscarriage, her foundation has deteriorated and she has been unable to raise her child. The whole person is thin and weak. Now he has been soaked in the cold lake water for so long and almost drowned. Now he is lying on the bed, his whole body is stiff and his breathing is very light, as if he is about to die.

Seeing this, Bai Jingyu hurriedly asked people to go to Wuchang Hou Mansion to invite Xue Changfeng.

The eldest princess came here in a hurry. Knowing that Aunt Zhou was not good, and seeing Murong Lingyi's unrepentant look, she was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped her.

Murong Lingyi was still aggrieved: "She is just a lowly concubine, so what will happen if she dies!"
