The old lady is reborn

Chapter 261: Picking an easy target

Rong Yunmiao was accompanied by Nanny Zhang on a trip back to the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion. Without saying a few words to her surprised mother Mingdai, she went to her grandmother's yard.

After listening to Rong Yunmiao's story, Song Ying tried to retrieve this person from his memory: the legitimate daughter of Duke Dingguo, Gong Qifang?

Am I the one who breaks the impasse?

My mother's family has never had any dealings with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so why me?

Does that mean I can chop it from anywhere? Do you think I can finish it?

It should not be.

There must be a reason for that.

And Gong Qifang in Yunlan Temple had a special visitor. Xiyue, who was originally a maid and was regarded as the real princess in the Xianwang Mansion, suddenly came.

Whether in dreams or in reality, she had seen this girl always accompanying the wise king.

"Why are you here, donor?"

"Of course I'm here to pay my respects to the mistress." She said this, but she sat down in the seat above Gong Qifang.

Behind her were the guards assigned to her by the King of Virtue. Noticing that Gong Qifang's eyes swept over the guards, Xiyue waved her hand and asked them to leave.

"It's a bit rude to enter your yard and your house directly.

It’s just that they have been ordered by the prince not to leave my side, and it’s also their duty. I hope Sister won’t take it to heart.”

After Xiyue finished speaking, she saw that Gong Qifang's eyes were calm and his expression was normal.

Thinking about the princess whose real name was Gong Yan, who could easily get angry at him, he couldn't help but look at the nun in front of him with a higher opinion: Did she really not care? Or was she able to keep her composure?

Gong Qifang sneered in her heart when she saw her looking at her.

If you really put yourself in the position of a concubine paying homage to the mistress, how dare you look around like that?

He said, "Your mistress is in the Xianwang Mansion, and the one enshrined in Yunlan Temple is Guanyin. You have come to the wrong place."

"She will not be soon. If I didn't think she was useful, the wise king wouldn't have kept her until now." Xiyue seemed nonchalant.

Gong Qifang smiled slightly: "If it works well, don't change it."

"You really don't want to be a princess?"

"Xian Wangfei? You two are more suitable than me."

Xiyue heard the sarcasm in her words and became angry: "I'm afraid it's not up to you. Your cousin has just inherited the title of Marquis and has just got married. He is a remarkable figure among the young marquises.

It's been a long time since double happiness came, but if misfortune comes one after another, wouldn't that be bad?

Although your mother was the legitimate daughter of a marquis, her marriage to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion was still considered high-ranking.

If your father, Duke Dingguo, knew that you were living in Yunlan Temple but seduced the prince, causing him to demote his wife to a concubine and welcome you back to the palace as a princess,

Will he vent his anger on the Marquis' Mansion and attack your cousin? Maybe the prince will also help secretly.

I wonder what the chances of a marquisate winning against a prince's or a duke's mansion are?"

Gong Qifang looked at Xiyue, trying his best to hide the anger and hatred in his eyes.

I am the only daughter of my mother, and my uncle died early and he has only one son, my cousin. Although he and I are cousins, we have been like real siblings for so many years.

This is threatening me with the lives of my brother's family.

If my younger brother were to die, would my grandmother, who is already in her twilight years, still be able to survive?

"Are you afraid?"

Xiyue couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Am I afraid of you? What a joke."

“I had already backed off in the early years, so I was naturally a soft persimmon.

However, if the virtuous prince really demoted his wife to a concubine, there would probably be many girls from noble families for the prince to escape from selection.

They are young, beautiful, talented, gentle and considerate, each with their own strengths, and naturally come from good family backgrounds.

The donor did not hesitate to spread rumors and create trouble, and threatened me to go back and be the princess.

After thinking about it, you think that I, an elderly nun with long hair, would be easier to deal with, right? "

..........

As Song Ying gets older, her personality becomes more and more straightforward. She hasn't figured this matter out yet, so she thinks she should go to Yunlan Temple to ask the abbess.

Originally, the grandparents and grandchildren were going to leave for Yunlan Temple immediately, but because Mingdai wanted to let her daughter stay at home for one night and prepared dinner with many of Yunmiao's favorite dishes, the two of them did not leave until the next day.

When they arrived at Yunlan Temple and met the abbess, before Song Ying had the chance to ask her questions, Gong Qifang also came to her.

She first greeted her elder, Lady Protector of the Nation, with great surprise, and then told them with some worry that she might have offended Xiyue, who was favored by the wise king, in a hasty conversation yesterday.

When she left, she said she would come again today to take me back to Prince Xian's Palace.

Xiyue was very angry yesterday, as she has always had smooth sailing.

After being ridiculed by Gong Qifang for picking on the weak, she probably didn't expect that after threatening her with her brother's family, she would dare to talk back, and she was speechless for a moment.

If she dared to make him angry like this in Prince Xian's mansion, the prince would definitely order someone to slap her in the face!

Xiyue wanted to welcome this nun "mistress" back as soon as possible so that she could understand who is the real master in the palace. Some people will not learn their lesson without suffering.

After hearing this, the abbot asked Gong Qifang, "Don't you want to go back to the palace?"

Gong Qifang nodded: "If I go back, I'm afraid I won't survive."

The abbot asked Song Ying again: "If Madam Huguo were in this situation, what would she do?"

Song Ying said, "Go back. The people who harmed me are all in the palace. Go back and take revenge."

Gong Qifang stared with astonishment, "They have guards, so we won't be able to gain any advantage if we attack them."

Song Ying asked: "When and where, they have no guards. If they don't go back, where can they escape to, where can they hide?"

There was no way out except a fight. At this moment, Gong Qifang seemed to understand why Lady Huguo was the one who broke the impasse.

Gong Qifang felt a little uncomfortable asking about the killing in front of the abbot, so she invited Song Ying to sit in her courtyard.

Song Ying glanced at the abbess, who bowed slightly and nodded to her.

Well, although I don’t know what the connection is between the nun and Gong Qifang, just for the favor of the abbot, I have to help Gong Qifang.

What's more, if the Second Prince really participated in the planning of Eagle's Beak Cliff and joined forces with the Third Prince to kill the Crown Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Princess at that time, then Song Ying would have to guard against the Second Prince.

Regardless of that time, Huai'an was seriously injured.

With such a previous experience, Song Ying didn't believe that the Second Prince would only take action that once.

My father and brother protected the late emperor, and now my son Huaiyuan protects the current emperor. Huai'an is the son-in-law of the emperor. If he succeeds and rebels, my family will not be well.

Then take this opportunity to get to the bottom of this matter.

As soon as Song Ying and Gong Qifang sat down again in her courtyard, Song Ying asked Gong Qifang to send someone to her mother's house, Duke Dingguo's Mansion, to inform her father, Duke Dingguo.

Today, the wise king wants to forcibly bring her back to the palace and demote Gong Yan to a concubine.

Gong Qifang hesitated for a moment. She had a deep hatred for Duke Dingguo and really didn't want to have any contact with her father anymore.

The Duke Dingguo's Mansion is not a relative but an enemy.

In the end, I put these little thoughts aside and did as Song Ying said.

Gong Qifang heard Song Ying ask her again: "How many guards are there in the Xianwang Mansion?"
