"Where is the son-in-law?"

Ruan asked suddenly.

Madam Dong smiled and replied, "He hunted two wild rabbits and a pheasant on the way, and as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he hurriedly sent them to Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Yunxi: "That's unfortunate. My uncle has not been at home recently. My grandfather and my second brother both love to eat game. I'm afraid that when my uncle comes back, there won't even be any bones left."

Madam Dong clapped her hands and smiled, "What's the big deal? Just let Weixian go hunting when the time comes."

Madam Dong and Xiao Yunxi chatted back and forth for a while, and no one else could get a word in.

"Oh, by the way, the prince hasn't come back yet?"

Lu Jingting sent the Dong family into the mansion and left on the pretext of having something to do.

Old Madam Dong was somewhat dissatisfied. Her eldest sister had not been home for many years and was so cold to her!

The old lady stammered, "Maybe he has some official business to attend to, and will be back later."

After hearing this, Mrs. Dong didn't know what to say anymore. She used the excuse of packing up her things and took her people to the guest house.

Xiao Yunxi also left, using the excuse of watching the kitchen prepare dinner.

After everyone left, Lu Guifang could no longer bear the grievance, and knelt on the old lady's knees and began to cry, "Grandma, Fang'er misses you and mother so much!"

After all, she is the only granddaughter. Even if she is born out of wedlock, she was still pampered and raised by the old lady.

She gently patted Lu Guifang on the shoulder and choked up, "Sister Fang, don't cry anymore, or your mother-in-law will see you and teach you a lesson again."

Ruan Shi echoed from the side: "Fang Jie'er's mother-in-law is too unreasonable. She scolded her in front of her family. She really doesn't take our Zhennan Palace seriously!"

Lu Guifang sobbed, "My mother-in-law has always been like this. The rules are extremely strict. If you say even one wrong word in front of her, you will be scolded at best, or punished at worst."

"After so many years, Fang'er has gotten used to it."

Lu Guifang said it lightly, but Ruan was furious. "How can this be! How can this old woman humiliate the eldest daughter of the palace like this!"

"Shut your mouth!" The old lady slammed the table in anger. "If this word gets out, Fang'er will be killed by you!"

Lu Guifang stood up, wiped her tears, and said softly: "My mother-in-law has set 300 house rules for the women in the mansion. As long as you don't break them, it's okay."

"Besides, my husband has done very well in his posting abroad. Before he left, the people even presented him with an umbrella. When he returns to the capital this time, His Majesty will certainly reward him, and his rank will definitely be promoted. I, your mother-in-law, will be even more careful."

The old lady was immediately happy, "That's great, Weixian and Jingting can help each other in the future."

She took Lu Guifang's hand and said, "For your future success, you must be careful with your words and actions, especially in building a good relationship with the princess."

"First, your mother-in-law has a close relationship with the eldest princess. Second, if Grand Tutor Xiao can speak well of Weixian and Jingting in front of His Majesty, their careers will be smoother."

Lu Guifang nodded, "Grandma, Fanger understands."

"But Fang'er heard that Jing Ting adopted two legitimate sons and one legitimate daughter? Why didn't he think about having a biological child with Xiao Yunxi?"

"Well, it's a long story." The old lady motioned to Li Ma to wait outside the door and told Lu Guifang the whole story.

Lu Guifang was very surprised. After a while, she said, "My brother is so confused!"

"Xiao Yunxi grew up in the palace and has seen everything. She must have known about Lu Ze and Lu Yuan's background. How could she endure it willingly? I'm afraid she has a trick up her sleeve to deal with our palace!"

The old lady said, "Jing Ting has turned over a new leaf and wants to live a good life with Yun Xi. It's Yun Xi who still can't let go of her grudge, so she has been cold to him until now."

"When they are getting along well, they will naturally have legitimate sons and daughters. When the time comes, we can just find a reason to send those children away. There is nothing to worry about."

"Every wife wants to be loved by her husband, and the princess is no exception."

"As long as Jingting respects and cares for Yunxi, there won't be any problem."

After hearing what the old lady said, Lu Guifang felt relieved.

Xiao Yunxi is a princess. Her biological mother is the eldest princess, her biological father is the Duke of Ningguo, and her biological uncle is the emperor.

It must be because she loves Jingting so deeply that she can tolerate him again and again.

Thinking of this, Lu Guifang smiled and said, "Grandma is right."

"By the way, Grandmother, what about Ze'er and Yuan'er's biological mother? Has she been properly dealt with?"

The old lady coughed lightly and said vaguely: "It has been dealt with. There will be no future troubles."

Lu Guifang was now completely relieved. "That's good. This woman must die. Xiao Yunxi can bear the loss of two children for Jing Ting, but she may not be able to bear the loss of their mother!"

After Lu Guifang left, the old lady became restless.

"How is Lin Wan'er?"

Madam Li tapped the old lady's legs and said, "She didn't die. She survived two days."

The old lady sighed: "She has been a scourge for thousands of years. Why doesn't the King of Hell take her away?"

"Now it's not just our Zhennan Palace that needs us, the Dong family will also have to rely on Ningguo Mansion in the future."

"Fang'er is right, this bitch must die!"

"You must keep an eye on her. Don't let her leave the yard before the Dong family leaves. Once the Dong family leaves, deal with her!"

"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on that little bitch."

The old lady just lay down and prepared to go to sleep, and asked Li Ma Ma, "Where is Jing Ting? Why didn't he come to pay his respects tonight?"

"He must be busy with official business. He will come to pay his respects tomorrow morning. You should rest first."

At this moment, Lu Jingting had just returned to the palace. Thinking of the official duties during the day, he couldn't help but frowned.

As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw Lu Ze and Lu Yuan sitting at the gate. When they saw him, they immediately stood up and saluted.

"Father!"

"It's so late, why are you here instead of sleeping?"

Lu Yuan pulled Lu Ze's sleeve, and Lu Ze had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply, "Father, my sister and I miss our mother. Can you take us to see her?"

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Jingting, almost crying, "I heard that mother is sick and very ill. Can you take us to see mother?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Jingting scolded, "She has maids and old women to serve her, there is nothing to worry about, go back and rest!"

Lu Ze and Lu Yuan fell to their knees.

"Father, mother and son are connected by heart. My son has been feeling depressed these past two days. It must be that mother is not feeling well. Please let us go and see her. Just a glance will be enough."

"Yes, father, a doctor in the countryside once said that mother suffered a lot in order to give birth to me and my brother, and her health has always been poor."

Lu Jingting took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "You guys go back and rest first, I'll go over and take a look now."

Seeing that Lu Jingting was so determined, Lu Ze and Lu Yuan did not dare to force him and had to follow the maids and servants back first.

Lu Jingting walked towards Shou'an Hall.
