After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 313: Unfilial!

When Huo Jinxiu was mentioned early in the morning, Mrs. Huo suddenly felt bad.

Yu didn't want to mention her either, but she had to mention it because of Madam Yu's birthday banquet.

"Ah, mother, I think it's okay for us not to go. But if we do that, I'm afraid the situation at the Jade Mansion will become even more difficult."

Everyone knows what kind of cunning people there are in the capital.

If no one from the Huo family, who are relatives of the old lady Yu, shows up at the birthday banquet, it would be tantamount to announcing to everyone in the capital that there is a big conflict between the Yu family and the Huo family in Shangjing!
"Since we are relatives, it would be unreasonable not to attend the banquet." Old Mrs. Huo said unhappily.

But when she thought about seeing Huo Jinxiu's stupid look again when she went to Yu Mansion, the old lady felt a tightness in her chest.

After breakfast, Yu Linlang came to Changshou Garden, washed her hands, burned incense, and gave acupuncture to the old lady.

"Grandma, take one pill of the medicine I gave you yesterday, morning and evening, after meals. Within half a month, your asthma will be completely cured."

Mrs. Huo looked at her with a smile on her face and nodded repeatedly, "I feel much better now."

"Lang'er, we have to go to the Jade Mansion at noon, you..."

"I won't go." Yu Linlang smiled slightly. "It would be awkward if I went. I have to go back to the Su residence. My adoptive parents will be arriving in Beijing soon. I have to go and see how everything is prepared."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Mrs. Huo patted her hands with a smile, "When you're done with this, come and talk to grandma."

Yu Linlang nodded in agreement.

The Yu family had just arrived in Beijing, and their business in the capital had not yet been fully opened.

Although Yu Shoudao was transferred back to Beijing, the emperor arranged for him to be a member of the Ministry of Rites.

In Shangjing, a falling brick can kill two or three fifth-rank officials. Yu Shoudao's position is neither high nor low, and he is the type who can neither die of hunger nor of food.

Compared with the actual power of the Governor of Weizhou Prefecture, the Deputy Minister of Rites is not really that prominent.

Therefore, the officials’ wives and children who were able to attend Old Madam Yu’s banquet were basically no higher than the fifth rank.

The fact that Mrs. Huo brought her eldest daughter-in-law to the event really helped the Yu family.

Before receiving confirmation from the Huo family, Old Lady Yu was very nervous.

Now seeing Old Madam Huo being welcomed into the courtyard by the servants, the old lady was overjoyed and hurried forward to greet her warmly.

Mrs. Huo also stepped forward and saluted with a smile, "Mother."

"Greetings to my grandma...mother and aunt." Yu Pianpian secretly glanced at Madam Huo's stern face and lowered her head pitifully.

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Huo didn't like her behavior and simply ignored her.

Soon after they sat down, Mrs. Huo came with a thin lady with sallow cheeks. She introduced them with a smile, "Mother, sister-in-law, this is the wife of Mr. Zhang, the Chief Censor."

"Mrs. Zhang, please sit at the same table with my mother and sister-in-law." Huo made this arrangement naturally to save face for her family.

Mrs. Zhang was considered one of the more distinguished guests. She was arranged to sit at the same table with Mrs. Huo, which made Mrs. Zhang very satisfied and she felt that she was valued by the host.

How could Mrs. Huo not understand her daughter's little thoughts? She just exchanged a few words with Mrs. Zhang and said no more.

Mrs. Zhang, on the other hand, looked around as if she was looking for someone.

Mrs. Huo asked her, and Madam Zhang smiled and said, "Why haven't you seen the third young lady from the Yu Mansion? I heard some people outside gossiping that the third young lady has severed her relationship with your family? Oh, this, the third young lady didn't even come back to pay her respects on such a big occasion as the old lady's birthday? Isn't this too conscienceless?" Madam Huo frowned.

Before Mrs. Huo could speak, Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhang knows everything about the Yu Mansion's affairs. If you don't know, you might think you are just asking around."

Mrs. Zhang's face suddenly darkened.

"Sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang didn't say anything." Mrs. Huo laughed awkwardly, trying to smooth things over between the two parties.

But the old lady said calmly, "The girls of our Huo family will not tolerate others talking about them. Let's take care of our own girls first. I have also heard that your eldest daughter was kicked out of the Shen family. The second daughter is even more outrageous and is still in the Weizhou Prefecture prison."

Mrs. Zhang's expression changed drastically and she almost flew into a rage.

Mrs. Huo hurriedly stepped forward to support her and advised, "Mrs. Zhang, how about I take you to the next table? Mrs. Chen, the assistant teacher's wife, is also there."

Madam Zhang turned around angrily and said to Mrs. Huo, "Isn't what I said correct?"

"Yes Yes."

"Why is the old lady so angry? She even said such words that hurt my heart." Mrs. Zhang, the censor, said hatefully.

"What I said is all true. Madam Yu, don't blame me for not reminding you. Your third daughter is usually competitive and competitive, but she dared not come back for such a big event as the old lady's birthday banquet. She is truly unfilial."

"The current emperor is advocating filial piety, but she goes against the grain. She is really bold."

"She caused my second daughter to be imprisoned for half a year in Weizhou Prefecture, and I have not yet settled the score with her. I didn't expect that not long after returning to Beijing, she caused my eldest daughter to become homeless as well."

“Now the Earl’s Mansion is implicated by her, and even the title has been stripped by the current emperor.” Mrs. Zhang, the Censor, was so sad when she said this that tears almost came out of her eyes.

Mrs. Huo hurriedly comforted her, "Please forgive me, Madam. It's all my fault for not teaching my daughter well, which caused Madam Bian and Madam Shen to suffer this unprovoked disaster."

Mrs. Huo now regrets more than anyone else. She shouldn't have listened to Old Madam Yu and brought that unlucky boy home.

If you make a mistake in one step, all steps will be wrong!

Now, because of that unlucky star, her relationship with her mother and sister-in-law has become strained. If she had known this would happen, she should have...

The banquet was in full swing when two servants suddenly ran in in a panic, shouting, "Madam, Madam."

"what's up?"

"There was a commotion at the gate. The master and the eldest son just rushed over. They said that an old man from Xia Village, Wuhu County, Weizhou collapsed at the gate and was clamoring to see the third young lady."

"The old man said that he would crawl to the Jingzhao government office with all his strength to sue our third young lady for being unfilial."

Huo opened his mouth wide with a look of shock.

"What did you say?"

"Xia Village, Wuhu County?" Mrs. Huo's voice trembled a little. "Sue Yu Linlang?"

Mrs. Zhang, the Imperial Censor, immediately became alert. "What are we waiting for? Let's go out and take a look. What has the Third Lady of the Yu Mansion done to anger the heavens and the people? The old lady actually traveled all the way from Wuhu County, Weizhou Prefecture to the capital to file a complaint against her."

Yu Pianpian sat at the table and wiped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief as if unintentionally. She stood up and walked to Mrs. Huo and whispered, "Mother, if this matter gets out of hand, it might not look good. Let's calm these ladies down first, and then ask Sister Linlang what happened."

Mrs. Huo gritted her teeth in anger, "I cause trouble for the Yu Mansion every day, and now I am being scolded!"

"She dared to do it, but she's afraid of being known? Let's go out and take a look."
