When Lu Guifang left, she glared at Xiao Yunxi fiercely.

Xiao Yunxi asked in surprise, "What's wrong with my elder sister's eyes? If the left eye twitches, it means good fortune, and if the right eye twitches, it means disaster. My elder sister's right eye keeps twitching, which is a very bad omen. You must be careful these two days."

Lu Guifang was choked by Xiao Yunxi and was speechless for a long time. She snorted coldly and left.

The old lady sighed. Her grandson was a worry, and her granddaughter was even more so. She smiled at Xiao Yunxi in a flattering way, "Your eldest sister is the only daughter in the family, and she has been spoiled by us. You have always been generous and tolerant, so don't bother with her."

Xiao Yunxi didn't respond, "The old lady is right. Although Yunxi is not the only daughter of the Xiao family, she was also raised by her parents and can't stand being bullied. My mother taught me since I was a child that if someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend them. If someone offends me, I will crush them to ashes."

"But don't worry, my elder sister has just been a little rude so far, and she hasn't taken any advantage at all. I won't hold it against her."

The old lady's heart was in turmoil because of what Xiao Yunxi said.

"grandmother."

Just at this moment, Lu Jingting arrived.

Xiao Yunxi called out, "Prince."

Then he turned back and said to the old lady, "Then the granddaughter-in-law will go back first."

Lu Jingting raised his eyebrows. Who had offended her again?

As soon as Xiao Yunxi left, the old lady began to scold Lu Jingting. She scolded him for half an hour until her mouth was dry and she stopped.

Although Lu Jingting felt aggrieved, he knew that he was the one who caused the trouble first, so he could only bow his head and accept the scolding obediently.

Seeing that the old lady was speechless, she quickly offered her a cup of tea and said, "Grandma, calm down. This is all my fault. I already know I was wrong."

The old lady sighed heavily and continued in a hoarse voice, "Do you know what the old lady of the Dong family relies on?"

"It's not because of her friendship with the eldest princess, but because of her son's relationship with the Ningguo Mansion's Xiao family, and also because of the legitimate prince behind the Ningguo Mansion!"

"This time, you must take advantage of the Dong family's presence to repair your relationship with Yun Xi and the Ningguo Mansion."

"My grandson knows."

Lu Jingting knew very well in his heart that the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion was just a name and could not be considered a powerful family at all.

He didn't feel anything when he was at the border, but after returning to Beijing, he had already learned a few lessons.

"Whether it's the Dong family or the Xiao family, what they care about most is morality."

"Lin Wan'er's matter is a huge mistake that has already been made. We can only find ways to make up for it. The most important thing now is to never let the Dong family know about your relationship with Lin Wan'er!"

"Otherwise your reputation will be ruined and you will never be able to make a comeback."

Lu Jingting nodded carefully, "Don't worry, grandma, I understand."

That night, Lu Jingting went to Cuiwei to rest.

Lu Guifang is still waiting for news from Ling'er.

"Madam, I'm back." Ling'er was afraid of disturbing others, so she quietly entered Lu Guifang's room.

"How's it going? Have you heard any news about Miss Lin?"

Ling Er pouted, "No, the sisters I used to know are gone, and the others are keeping their mouths shut. I guess the old lady or the prince has issued a gag order."

Lu Guifang became even more curious. "Even if she is a widow, she has given birth to two children with Jingting. What else is there to hide?"

"I'm sure he's afraid that the princess will be angry. After all, the princess is of noble birth, how could she allow the prince to take a widow as a concubine?"

"It doesn't matter if she's a princess or a county lady, being jealous is a crime!" Lu Guifang sneered, "Jing Ting is too useless. As a good sister, I naturally have to help him."

"Madam...what are you going to do?"

"What can we do? We can only add fuel to the flames and suppress Xiao Yunxi's arrogance at the same time!"

Ling'er lowered her head helplessly. Why couldn't the eldest lady be beaten enough?

Early the next morning, Hongyu and Cuiwei came to pay their respects as usual.

Xiao Yunxi asked Cuiwei, "Have you been feeling unwell recently? Do you need a doctor to check your pulse?"

Cuiwei shook her head and said, "Princess, I have just been away for a few days."

Xiao Yunxi understood.

Hongyu wanted to say something but hesitated for a long time. Seeing that Xiao Yunxi just ignored her, she couldn't help but said, "Princess, my maid said last night that the eldest lady's maid Ling'er asked people around about Lin Wan'er."

"So what?" Xiao Yunxi raised her eyebrows and asked back.

Seeing Xiao Yunxi's indifferent look, Hongyu became even more anxious. "The eldest lady has always been jealous and loves to compare. She will harm anyone who is stronger than her. Now she is asking about Lin Wan'er. She must be helping Lin Wan'er to compete with you. Who knows, she might even help Lin Wan'er to become your concubine!"

Cuiwei hesitated for a moment and said softly, "The prince also mentioned it vaguely last night, asking the princess what rules she had set for her concubines, and whether they were recorded in the book..."

Xiao Yunxi curled the corners of her mouth sarcastically. She even wrote the "House Rules for Concubines". Did Lu Jingting think she had a lot of free time?

"Princess, Lin Wan'er has always been ambitious and wants to replace you. Now there is another young lady who loves to stir up trouble. You must be careful."

"Why don't you find a reason to send her away?"

Xiao Yunxi glanced at Hongyu lightly, "What are you afraid of?"

Hongyu was speechless.

"You can only feel at ease if you keep an ambitious enemy by your side. If you send him away, you will feel uneasy."

"She wants to be a concubine, isn't that just right?"

Xiao Yunxi chuckled.

"The heart is high as the sky but the life is thin as paper. The one who vowed to be the main wife ended up being a concubine. That would make her fall into eternal damnation."

If she becomes a concubine and is allowed to take Lu Ze and Lu Yuan back, it would be like the concubine giving birth to a child and all her efforts would be in vain.

"But the prince loves Lin Wan'er so much that he even quarreled with the old prince over her. If he lets her become his concubine, I'm afraid Cuiwei and I will have no place to stand."

Hongyu was still very worried.

"Do you think Lu Jingting dares to favor his concubine and kill his wife now?"

Hongyu opened her mouth, and when she thought of the prince who was kicked into a shrimp by the princess, her worries disappeared instantly.

Yes, I belong to the princess, and it is enough for me to follow her loyally.

Cui smiled, and Hongyu finally understood.

In this mansion, the kindest person is the princess, and the most powerful person is also the princess.

They are the knives in the princess's hands. It is enough as long as they know who the blade should be pointed at.

"Hello, mother. Hello, two aunts."

Lu Zhan came in to pay his respects.

"Why are you wearing riding clothes?"

"Mother, my second uncle said he is going hunting outside Beijing with his son and brother Ming today."

Lu Zhan's little face was full of anticipation.

Xiao Yunxi smiled, "Be careful and have fun. Remember to hunt a few more fat rabbits. We'll have roasted rabbit meat tonight!"

"Well! Then my son will take his leave."

After Lu Zhan left, Hongyu and Cuiwei also withdrew.

"This Aunt Hong is no less thoughtful than Lin Wan'er." Chun Xiao complained to Xiao Yunxi.

Xiao Yunxi really liked Hongyu's straightforwardness. "It's okay. A mother is strong. She always has to make plans for the baby in her belly."

Besides, the more the concubines want, the more exciting Lu Jingting's life will be. Three women make a drama, and three concubines make a big fuss, haha.
