The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

After hearing the order, the maids all ran out respectfully with red eyes.

The old lady then ordered other servants to prepare water for bathing, and then ordered a row of maids to take them to their own courtyard to wash.

After working for a while, the two of them came to the front hall again.

Seeing that the two men, even though they were wearing clean clothes, could not hide their thin bodies and pale faces, everyone remained silent.

Coincidentally, at this time, the manager of Xiuyunfang also arrived at the general's mansion. When she saw the two unfamiliar faces in front of her, she couldn't help but search for this person from her memory.

"Madam, whose size do you want to measure?" The housekeeper stood respectfully in the front hall. She had a record of the sizes of everyone in the mansion. They basically came to the general's mansion every month to measure the ladies' bodies, but only a few days had passed.

"Yunniang, one of these people is my daughter and the other is my granddaughter. Please measure their bodies and make a few sets of clothes according to their sizes using the cloth I sent someone to bring back within an hour."

After hearing this, Yunniang looked at Zhou and Fang Shiwan. She had never seen them before, but she had only heard that the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion married into the mansion of Minister Fang and became the first lady.

Now seeing how thin they are, their pale faces show that they must eat little on a daily basis. Even though they are wearing fine fabrics, their ill-fitting clothes still reveal their body shapes.

She couldn't help but say, "How did this happen? Could it be that the Shangshu-sama abuses his daughter-in-law on a daily basis?"

After hearing this, the old lady could no longer conceal her already angry expression.

"Humph, this Shangshu Mansion is really too much. My daughter married into the family, and now she has become like this. They even locked my granddaughter alive in a coffin."

"I will not let this matter off lightly, Yunniang, please measure their sizes quickly. I will personally send my daughter back later!"

Although Yunniang was a little angry after hearing this, this was ultimately the general's family affair, and it was not something that a servant like her could interfere in. She lowered her head and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Soon, Yunniang recorded the sizes of Fang Shiwan and Zhou. Looking at the sizes listed, she couldn't help but say a few words of concern.

"Miss, Miss, you two must take good care of yourselves. I feel sorry for you when I see you."

Zhou's heart warmed after hearing this, "Thank you, Yunniang, for your concern."

Yunniang was the manager hired by the second brother's new shop after Zhou got married. Since her marriage, she had been busy working for the Shangshu Mansion and had no time to go to the second brother's shop, so naturally she could not see Yunniang.

After talking for a long time, she really didn't see her second brother at the moment. She looked around and asked, "Dad, Mom, where is my second brother?"

General Zhou: "Your second brother has gone outside the Great Wall. He will be back in a few days."

"Oh."

When Fang Shiwan heard that his second uncle was going outside the Great Wall, he immediately thought it was very fashionable. Isn't this going abroad? Isn't going abroad in ancient times different from modern times? No visa is required, no formalities are required, as long as you have the physical strength and a bag, you can go, right?

The thought of it was exciting. She really wanted to experience traveling abroad in ancient times. She wondered if it was as common as it is today.

"Wan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou, who was standing by, noticed that Fang Shiwan was absent-minded and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, mom. Is it fun outside the pass?"

"Outside the Great Wall, there are actually some places with different customs. As for whether it is fun or not, it depends on you. Mom doesn't like it very much." Zhou had been there with her second brother before. She couldn't understand the language spoken in some places, so she was not interested.

"If you want to go, wait for your second uncle to come back and ask him. If he is free, you can ask him to take you to see it."

After hearing this, Fang Shiwan smiled and said without thinking: "Okay."

He rubbed her head lovingly, and everyone finally laughed out of the tense atmosphere, led by Fang Shiwan. After everyone had lunch, they packed up a lot of things for Zhou to take back to the Shangshu Mansion.

The old lady was reluctant to let Zhou leave, and stood at the door with red eyes, "Hui'er, Wan'er, your father said to send you back. Remember to come back and tell us if you have any difficulties, and we will help you."

Zhou opened the carriage curtain and said loudly with a smile: "Mother, I understand. Please go in."

Looking at her daughter and granddaughter who were even thinner than herself, the old lady nodded with concern, but she did not move at all until the carriage drove away and turned the corner. Then she sighed and walked back to the house.

This way, the Shangshu Mansion.

In Qingxin Courtyard, Aunt Lin, who had been busy serving the old lady all day long without stopping for a moment, was now waiting in the front hall and crying in front of Minister Fang.

"Master, the eldest lady went back to her parents' home early in the morning and has not come back yet. She did not take care of the old lady when she was sick. I called her from behind and she did not stop."

"Rou'er served her grandmother yesterday and didn't rest until midnight. She woke up early this morning and started serving again. Please make the decision for me."

Minister Fang was worried that Zhou would return to the general's mansion and tell them that they had used her name to take money over the years. But then he thought, at worst they could just say that she was terminally ill and needed the money.

The worries in my heart were also reduced by more than half.

Seeing the beautiful concubine in his arms with red eyes and a seductive look, he instantly felt distressed. He reached out and patted her, "Okay, stop crying. I'll take care of her when she comes back."

When she heard that Zhou was going to be punished, Aunt Lin stopped crying instantly. She smiled and kissed Minister Fang on the face, "Master is still the best to me."

Minister Fang was overjoyed at being kissed. He thought of Zhou's gloomy and frail appearance, and felt even more pity for Aunt Lin in front of him.

It was a long while before he let go of Aunt Lin.

At this time, the servant outside hurried in and knelt on the ground.

"Master, Second Madam, First Madam and First Miss are back."

"Hmph, you dare to come back?" When Minister Fang thought about the fact that she would complain when she returned home, he was disgusted with her for not knowing the seriousness of the matter. She didn't handle her husband's family affairs well herself, but had to bring them up back to her parents' home, thus embarrassing him.

From a distance, he saw Zhou and Fang Shiwan wearing new clothes, and he was so angry that he yelled:

"Zhou, you are so bold. When your mother-in-law had a fever, you didn't take care of her, but went to the general's mansion to play for the whole day..."

"Who dares to scold my daughter?"

He hadn't finished speaking when he was frightened by the shout and froze for a long time. When he saw the majestic and upright body, his face turned from white to yellow, then from yellow to black and then to red. Minister Fang managed to hold it back.

Zhou and Fang Shiwan followed beside General Zhou, looking at the man in front of them with a smile on their faces, knowing that he must be feeling frustrated and unable to vent.
