The daughter of the emperor returned to Beijing and got into trouble with the abstinent prince.

Chapter 8 She Comes, He Hides
After the Xu family left, Lady Jiang Guogong's eyes darkened slightly.

Although she is old, she knows everything clearly. The only one who dares to act like this in the capital is the Crown Prince, who is so precious.

After all, the person who came to Duke Jiang's Mansion to report the news to himself also came from the East Palace.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helped because of his relationship with Yun Xiuyi, then that would be fine.

If it's because of something else, then...
Madam Jiang Guogong stretched out her hand, gently held Yun Qianyi, and asked softly:
"Qian'er, are you used to living in the Yun Mansion? How about moving in with grandma?"

Yun Qianyi looked at the kind-hearted old man in front of him, feeling his wrinkled but unusually warm hands.

Is this family love? The feeling was really strange, but she didn't feel repulsive.

"What are you talking about, mother-in-law? Qianyi is in her own home, how could she not be used to it?"

Yunhan smiled apologetically. He was still a little scared of his mother-in-law.

First, when Duke Jiang’s wife was young, she also followed her husband to fight on the battlefield, and her courage was no less than that of men.

The second reason is that when Yun Qianyi's mother, Jiang Shiyi, was pregnant with Yun Qianyi, Yun Han had an affair with Jiang family's adopted daughter, Jiang Xia Ning, and did not even tell the Jiang family until she was pregnant.

In the year Yun Qianyi was sent away, Jiang Shiyi also died of depression. He caught a cold and suffered a serious illness, and died directly.

This matter is still a thorn between the Yun and Jiang families, which cannot be removed or disappeared.

"I'm asking Qian'er."

Madam Jiang Guogong didn't give the prime minister any face at all and glared at him. When she looked at Yun Qianyi, she smiled again.

“Grandma, I’m fine with everything. My sister-in-law and big brother are taking good care of me. Don’t worry.”

Yun Qianyi glanced at Yun Xiuyi's legs calmly and continued to comfort the somewhat lost old man.

"I will go back to the Duke's Mansion to see you in a few days."

This word "return" immediately made Mrs. Jiang Gongguo smile happily.

"Okay, okay. By the way, your second brother went to Bitong Academy to supervise the exams last month. He should be back in the next few days. When he comes, you can come together and grandma will prepare delicious food for you."

While everyone was chatting and laughing, a discordant voice emerged.

"Mother."

After sending Yun Shu back to the backyard, Jiang Xia Ning immediately returned to the front hall, knelt on both knees, and respectfully saluted her adoptive mother whom she had not seen for many years.

"I can't bear to be called your mother."

Lady Jiang stepped aside without even looking at Jiang Xianing.

"I know that mother has not forgiven me yet, but Shu'er is innocent. She is also the granddaughter of Duke Jiang's mansion. I beg mother to have mercy on her."

Jiang Xianing was still kneeling on the ground, speaking earnestly.

"If there's anything wrong, it's all my fault. You've watched Shu'er grow up. She's always been filial to you and has never made any mistakes."

Yun Qianyi looked at Jiang Xia Ning calmly and asked in a sarcastic tone:

"That's wrong. As children, we should respect our elders. It's our duty. Why is it worth it for Aunt to keep repeating it here? Are you trying to get some benefit?"

Everyone present could hear that the implicit meaning of these words was that the Duke Jiang's Mansion wanted to contribute a dowry as well.
What a good plan.

"I, I don't have any. It's just that if Shu'er wants to get married, as her family, Duke Jiang's Mansion will have some money to pay."

Jiang Xia Ning lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly into those beautiful eyes that saw through her thoughts. Her voice became smaller and smaller, and then, she was interrupted by a cold snort.

Madam Jiang held Yun Qianyi's hand with extreme tenderness, but her words to Jiang Ningxia were full of coldness.

"Qian'er's mother gave you half of her dowry before she passed away. How come it's only been ten years and you've already wasted it all!"

Jiang Xianing shook her head and cried, not daring to speak again.

By the way, Jiang Shiyi really loves his sister, even though they are not related by blood.

Yun Qianyi has no memory of her mother. To be more precise, she has no memory before the age of six. After all, the original owner has been mentally deficient since birth and can't remember things or people. However, judging from what her grandmother said, her mother is really kind.

"Don't worry, Fourth Sister. The other half is kept by your eldest brother. I have already made a list. After breakfast, I will take you to the warehouse to check it."

As soon as Wen Jingxian finished speaking, Madam Jiang Guogong said to Yun Qianyi with a smile:
"Qian'er, with your grandmother here, your wedding in the future will be a grand one. The Jiang Guogong Mansion will be your backing. Even if you marry into the royal family, no one will dare to bully you."

Seeing such obvious preference, Yun Qianyi smiled, bent over, and directly hugged the wife of Duke Jiang and spun around.

"Child, be careful not to drop our grandmother."

Wen Jingxian's face was nervous. She stood by with her arms outstretched, afraid that something might go wrong.

"It's okay. Qian'er is still strong enough. Let's go and have breakfast first."

Lady Jiang Gongguo was calm, after all, she was a female general who rode a horse to fight in battle.

Yun Qianyi and Wen Jingxian were pulled by their grandmother, one on each side, and walked towards the backyard.

As soon as they left the main hall, Yun Han immediately stepped forward, helped Jiang Xianing up from the ground, and held her in his arms.

"Ningning, don't worry, I will never let our daughter be inferior to others. Shu'er is also my child, I will definitely love her."

Yun Han comforted Jiang Xianing and no longer cared about others.

"Master, I'm lucky you protected me and my daughter. Otherwise, I would have died a long time ago."

"Okay, okay, I'm here, Ningning, don't worry. Go take care of Shu'er first. I'll ask the housekeeper to bring the best medicines in the warehouse."

Jiang Xianing fell weakly into Yun Han's arms, clutching his sleeve tightly as if it were his life-saving straw.

-

Just three days later, the Xu and Yun families held their wedding.

Jiang Xianing cried inconsolably as she looked at her married daughter, which made Yun Han feel so distressed that he bought her some extra jewelry and silver.

However, this weak woman outside, when she returned home at night, immediately revealed a resentful look of disappointment.

The daughter I raised with great difficulty is now ruined.

Originally, the person in the palace had promised that after the matter was accomplished, Yunshu would be allowed to be the concubine, but now all that was gone.

I never thought that a child who had been obedient since childhood would go against himself for the so-called love.

"Mother, Shu'er doesn't want to marry into the royal family, nor does she expect wealth and glory. She just wants to be with Huilang."

Yun Shu's words echoed in his mind again, and Jiang Xia Ning was so angry that he smashed a celadon bottle.

My daughter is unreliable after all.
And on the other side of the Yun Mansion.

In the study of Luo Chenxuan.

All the servants of the Yun Mansion had left, and the entire front yard of Luochenxuan was empty. The only people in the house were Yun Xiuyi and
"The reason why the Xu family wants to hold the wedding so quickly is your idea?"

"Long nights and many dreams."

"You also suppressed the news about Fourth Sister's Dali Temple?"

"I'm doing Prime Minister Yun a favor."

Yun Xiuyi looked at Jun Yanci speechlessly. It would be more credible to say that he was sending him instead of his father.

But no matter what the reason was, the fourth sister's reputation was saved.

He had just refilled the second cup of tea for the man sitting opposite him when there was a knock on the door. Yun Xiuyi and Jun Yanci looked at each other, and the latter immediately stood up and stood behind the screen.

"Who?"

"Brother, it's me."
