Chapter 394: The Foolish Sister Who Married a Younger Sister (16)
Duan Qianliang waited patiently for a few days and found that his daughter-in-law was much more patient than he had imagined.
He gradually became restless as he waited for the news that his son had an accident but still could not get it.
But every day he could not see anything unusual from the princess and the others. They still looked indifferent and did not take him seriously.
Duan Qianliang couldn't hint at it every day, so he had to hold back and wait and see what would happen.
As the year draws to a close, people inside and outside the palace are busy. Duan Qianliang was assigned the task of purchasing New Year's goods and went to another county, temporarily putting those conspiracies and tricks behind him.
But when he returned to the capital, he realized something was wrong. How come Qu Qiuer and her mother and daughter were living in the princess's mansion in less than a month?
Duan Qianliang felt cold from head to toe, his heart sank to the bottom of the sea. He stood outside the princess's courtyard, and was afraid to ask the servants to pass the message.
There were constant conversations in the room, and one could hear the princess's perfunctory attitude, Qu Qiu'er's flattery, and Gu Zhen's maneuvers between them.
He was unsure, as the current situation was beyond his expectations.
But he couldn't just stand there, so Duan Qianliang walked in slowly. The voices in the room paused, and several eyes fell on him.
Yongle didn't bother to look up, but she was always like this, so Duan Qianliang was not surprised.
"Have you purchased everything? Don't make any mistakes. This is the first year as a new bride, and Jing'er is in good health. I want to celebrate a lively New Year so that everyone can share in the joy."
Duan Qianliang ignored his cousin's gaze and said, "Don't worry, Princess. We have arranged everything according to your order. There won't be any mistakes."
"Well, I am confident that you can do the job," Yongle raised his chin towards Qu Qiu'er, "You too, didn't I ask you to find a house for your cousin? Why did you let the mother and her two children rent a house outside? How would I save face if this gets out?"
Duan Qianliang was silent in deep thought, and Qu Qiuer spoke first: "Princess, I am so humbled. Your Majesty, I am so grateful for your care. I dare not ask for anything else."
"Cousin...Prince Consort, I took Tong'er out on the street that day, and it was the princess who saved us. When we met, the princess showed me kindness and took us to her palace to stay for a while, saying that she would buy us a house and property after the New Year."
Qu Qiuer turned her back to Princess Yongle and winked at Duan Qianliang, signaling him not to panic.
This was a complete accident.
A few drunk thugs, seeing that Tong'er was pretty, pulled her into the alley. Just then, the princess returned from the palace with her son and daughter-in-law. The guards rescued Tong'er and taught the thugs a lesson.
The princess had actually met Qu Qiuer once a long time ago, but she probably didn't even look at her carefully at the time and waved her hand to ask people to leave, but this did not hinder her acting.
Yongle pointed at Qu Qiuer who was kneeling on the ground to thank him, and after thinking for a moment, he asked her if she was the son-in-law's cousin.
Qu Qiuer's face turned pale with fright, but through the princess's gorgeous hair accessories, she saw Gu Zhen in the carriage who was even more panicked than her.
Obviously the other party recognized her as well.
He also felt guilty, afraid that the princess would find out that he had asked someone for the prescription in private.
Qu Qiuer immediately calmed down, revealed her identity, and described herself as pitiful and miserable.
On the street, the cousin of the prince consort cried and complained about being bullied by her husband's family. The family of three was helpless in the capital. Yongle frowned, feeling that she was about to lose all her face. She immediately ordered Qu Qiuer and her family to be brought into the mansion.
When avoiding people, Gu Zhen still tried to get close to Qu Qiuer, saying that it was like a flood that had washed away the Dragon King Temple. It was strange that they got along so well, it turned out that they were a family.
Qu Qiuer thought about it from the beginning and found that she didn't have any flaws. She felt that she had caught Gu Zhen's weakness, so she just stayed there.
He who is close to the water gets the moon first. Maybe by being next to the princess, he would have more opportunities to take action.
The more Qu Qiuer thought about it, the more proud she became. She told her cousin with a smile that everything was safe.
Duan Qianliang felt relieved and his expression became much more natural. "It was all my negligence that caused trouble for the princess. Since the princess is kind and willing to help you, cousin, you must serve the princess well."
Before Qu Qiu'er expressed her loyalty, Yongle had already waved his hand impatiently, "This palace has no shortage of servants. You and the two children should just take care of yourselves, and don't go out and cause trouble for the princess's mansion."
Her attitude made Duan Qianliang feel more at ease. Given Yongle's temper, if he knew that someone had harmed her son, he would definitely cause chaos in the capital.
He probably doesn't know about it now, which shows that Gu Zhen has something to hide and doesn't dare to show his thoughts openly.
Duan Qianliang was completely relieved. He pretended to be concerned about his son's health and subtly turned the topic to his nephew.
"Xuan'er will take the Spring Examination after the New Year. How are your preparations going?"
Yanran looks like a good uncle.
Tan Lixuan said modestly: "There are still many shortcomings. I am dull by nature and not as smart as the prince. I can only do my best."
"My cousin, you are being modest. You have great literary talent and will surely pass the imperial examination this spring." Duan Wenjing lied with his eyes open. In fact, his talent was truly unbearable.
But Tan Lixuan took it seriously and felt quite pleased with himself.
He often went to harass Duan Wenjing, either asking for advice or wanting to take him out to play, but he was always fended off with ease.
This thwarted his plan to slowly destroy the other person's body.
Duan Wenjing smiled while drinking tea and actually wanted to take him to a brothel, and even called it the purpose of cultivating his sentiments and making a female confidant.
It would be really embarrassing and degrading if the sickly prince died of a stroke at the hands of a woman.
There is also Tan Yuetong, who speaks in a sweet voice all day long and calls her cousins all the time. She is an unmarried girl, but she talks about offspring and marital ethics every day.
Privately, he also tried to sow discord between Gu Zhen and the princess and the prince.
He tried to brainwash Gu Zhen into using the recipe earlier so that she could have a child so that she could gain a firm foothold in the princess's mansion.
Gu Zhen pretended to be interested, but was still afraid of being discovered by the princess, so she made the excuse that she wanted to wait a little longer and use it after the winter, which prevented Qu Qiuer and Tan Yuetong from suspecting anything.
Today, Duan Qianliang finally came back. Gu Zhen thought, the happy life should begin, right?
She looked up at the princess and her husband. They both remained calm and their acting skills were excellent.
Duan Wenjing smiled back. His father had kept the secret from them for more than ten years and had kept his two children hidden very well. He must have loved them very dearly.
Yes, with a sickly son who could die at any time, Duan Qianliang naturally prefers the healthy and obedient Tan Lixuan and Tan Yuetong.
Since you care so much, why not start with them? That will make the game more fun, right?
