Without bothering to guess Lu Linchu's thoughts, Fu Guiyun started walking towards Jiaotai Hall.

Lu'er was also led by Cheng Kui to follow.

When they arrived at the hall, they saw servants from both courtyards kneeling in neat rows.

Fu Guiyun first stopped in front of the hall for a moment. He didn't want to favor anyone, but considering that Ji Chun was pregnant and stayed in Tingsong Garden obediently, he couldn't help but want to protect her.

After all, she always likes those who are gentle and well-behaved.

He just walked to the front of the hall and looked at Yun Ling's swollen pig-like face and the bruises all over his face, and he was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Her brows furrowed and she sat down helplessly.

"Princess, you have to make the decision for me. Aunt Ji is crazy today and will beat me if she sees me."

Yun Ling was like a child at this moment, feeling extremely wronged, and kept complaining: "She was merciless and wanted to beat me to death."

While she was speaking, Lu Linchu walked in quietly.

Recently, he has become increasingly tired, and his trust in Yun Ling has almost dropped to zero.

But when I saw Yun Ling covered with bruises, I still felt particularly distressed.

Yun Ling noticed that Lu Linchu had also arrived, so she quickly lowered her head and covered her entire face tightly with a handkerchief.

"Sir, you are not allowed to look at me. Get out of here quickly."

Lu Linchu slowly squatted down, forced the face up, stared for a moment, and then secretly clenched his fists.

Fu Guiyun saw that the prince was moved with compassion again, and suddenly she started to scold him, "Aunt Ji, you are so bold. Everyone in this mansion knows about the grudge between you and Miss Yunling. Why did you invite her to Tingsong Garden when I was away? Are you so arrogant because you are pregnant? Are you so eager to take revenge?"

Hearing this, Lu Linchu reacted immediately.

Yes, why would Yunling go to Aunt Ji’s courtyard?

Fu Guiyun had already glared at the maids and servants around Ji Chun, and asked sternly, "Tell me, who gave Aunt Ji this bad idea?"

"Princess, please understand. None of us old servants have ever invited Miss Yunling."

Nanny Zhang reported with great fear and trepidation, "It was Miss Yunling who insisted on coming to visit Aunt Ji. The old servants couldn't stop her. Everyone in Yurongju can testify to this."

"Madam Zhang, there is no need to say more."

Ji Chun said frankly: "I just can't stand her and simply want to beat her up. It has nothing to do with any of you. I am willing to accept the punishment. Please forgive me, my lord and his wife."

"Linchu, look at how arrogant she is now."

Yun Ling was furious and took the opportunity to incite: "She thinks that she can do whatever she wants because she is pregnant with your child, and she doesn't care about you and the Crown Prince's Consort."

But at this moment, Lu Linchu was uncharacteristically angry.

Because the Crown Prince's Consort had already said it in advance.

Everyone knows about the grudge between Yunling and Jichun, but she still rushed to Tingsongyuan, and did so when the Crown Prince's wife was not around. Considering her past actions, it is hard to believe that she has any good intentions.

Besides, Ji Chun has never been someone who dares to be arrogant because of her favor, and she is pregnant with her own child. If she is severely punished, she will inevitably be scolded by her mother, which will make the Crown Prince's wife feel disheartened.

"Since the Crown Prince's Consort has found out the whole story, take Aunt Ji back and tell her to stay in Tingsong Garden and not to step out of the yard before she returns south."

Lu Linchu ordered in a cold voice.

Yun Ling was very dissatisfied with this: "Linchu, she almost beat me to death, why did you just confine me to my room......"

"Shut up."

Lu Linchu picked her up, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Yun Ling wanted to struggle, but when she looked up, she saw an extremely glaring face.

That face had long been deeply rooted in her mind. She had seen it in countless dreams, and now it appeared before her eyes vividly.

"who is she?"

Yun Ling kept questioning herself in her heart, and for a moment she was extremely frightened and uneasy. She just stared at the woman's figure blankly without even blinking.

At this moment, she probably understood why the prince did not protect her today.

Lu Linchu carried him out of the hall without saying a word.

Fu Guiyun watched Lu Linchu walk away, then looked back at Ji Chun, and saw that she also had a few minor bruises on her face, so he instructed You Dian, "Take Madam Ji away, and send the palace doctor to take a good look."

Ji Chun was extremely puzzled at this time.

She thought that if she hurt Yun Ling, her life would be in danger, but she didn't expect that the prince would forgive her so easily and only punished her to go back to house arrest.

"The Crown Princess, slave..."

Being helped up by someone, she looked at Fu Guiyun in confusion.

"Go down and take good care of yourself."

Fu Guiyun did not blame her again, nor did he give any further explanation.

Although Ji Chun's character is a bit reckless, he is always obedient to what he says.

I think Yun Ling must have done something excessive to anger people to this extent.

Ji Chun did not say anything more. Anyway, today he and the Crown Prince's Consort had vented their anger, so he bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Crown Prince's Consort."

When she turned around, she inadvertently saw Lu'er beside Cheng Kui, and she was stunned.

"Who is this?"

Ji Chun looked back at Fu Guiyun in astonishment.

Fu Guiyun had no intention of explaining this.

I really don't know what sin I have committed. I just wanted to be kind when I saw injustice, but I ended up picking up a follower.

Moreover, looking at Lu'er's attitude towards the Prince, she was particularly cold and didn't seem to want to get close to him.

In this case, there is no point in keeping her around.

After asking You Dian to send Ji Chun away, she looked at Lu Er silently for a moment and said, "Qinglu, take Lu Er back to Chuxian Palace and settle her down first."

Qinglu glanced at Lu'er in confusion, responded reluctantly, and silently led her people out of Jiaotai Hall.

Thinking that his mother-in-law was still waiting for instructions, Fu Guiyun led Cheng Kui and a group of servants to Changchun Palace.

Although Ye Zhilan didn't want to bother with Ting Songyuan's troubles, Ji Chun was pregnant after all. When he saw his daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but ask, "Yun'er, how is Aunt Ji?"

There was no mention of Yunling in his words.

"Aunt Ji is fine. The prince has confined her to Tingsong Garden as punishment. My daughter-in-law has sent someone to send her back."

Fu Guiyun reported the truth.

"Grounded?"

Ye Zhilan was delighted when he heard this.

It seems that the evil creature really has no interest in Yunling anymore.

"It's okay."

After briefly mentioning the matter of Ting Songyuan, Ye Zhilan smiled and pulled her to sit in the bedroom, chatting with her non-stop:

"Yun'er, I heard from the servants who returned to the mansion that your father and mother have returned to Xuancheng today. It's very lively. They are about to return to the south. Mother has already told Xiao Kuizi that it's okay for you to stay in the ancestral home for a night or two. You don't need to rush back to the mansion in such a hurry."

"My mother is not feeling well, and I am always worried about my daughter-in-law staying outside."

Seeing that there seemed to be some deep meaning in her eyes, Fu Guiyun immediately understood that her mother-in-law was not simply concerned about her, but was clearly pointing a finger at her.

Although she handed over the management of the palace to herself, she did not completely ignore it. The servants in the palace even informed her of the lively goings-on in the ancestral home, so they would not miss out on Lu'er's affairs.

The mother-in-law didn't ask because she trusted me. If I didn't answer, it would be a deliberate lie, so I told her the story of Lu'er.

Finally, she couldn't help but sigh: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there would be such a coincidence in the world."
