princess regent lifted from her grave

After the news about King Xiu and other women visiting the lake spread, some people started to secretly find out which young lady it was.

No matter which young lady in the mansion, as long as she marries King Xiu, the family's status will rise. They have to win over her in advance, so they have made many inquiries.

The fact that King Xiu accompanied other girls to the lake made countless women in the Holy City secretly feel sad. On the one hand, they were jealous of this young lady's good luck, and at the same time, they were very envious of this young lady's exclusive favor with King Xiu.

However, they asked around, but they didn't know who this young lady was.

At this time, Guo Ying'er, who had been taken back to the house, began to develop a high fever, which made Guo Ying'er's mother worried. Guo Ying'er had been talking nonsense since she was returned to the house.

Her mother, Mrs. Guo, understood clearly that her daughter seemed to have been reprimanding a nosy woman, saying that this woman deliberately made her fall into the lake again. Mrs. Guo looked at her daughter's cheeks that were burned red due to high fever, and I felt sorry for my daughter's experience, and I was angry at the woman her daughter spoke about.

So she called Guo Ying'er's personal maid. Mrs. Guo first slapped the maid hard, and then angrily said,

"How did the eldest lady fall into the water? Tell me exactly how she fell into the water."

The maid, whose cheeks suddenly became red and swollen, hurriedly knelt down and told the lady what she had seen truthfully with a fearful expression.

As for how the eldest lady fell into the water, she didn't see it, she just cried and complained,

"Madam, in order to see clearly the people on the dragon boat, the young lady took a few steps forward and accidentally fell into the lake."

Mrs. Guo angrily slapped the maid again and accused:

"You are Ying'er's personal maid. Why don't you always pay attention to Ying'er's actions? If you discover something strange in advance, Ying'er will fall into the water. What a useless thing!"

The maid hurriedly bowed to the ground, not daring to speak again. The lady pushed her aside before she fell into the water, but she did not dare to say anything to Madam, otherwise she would suffer a more serious beating.

Mrs. Guo was furious. Her daughter was not wrong to be curious about the dragon boat. She was even more wrong when she glanced at King Xiu. The person who was wrong was the one who so-called rescued her daughter. She could guess from the maid's description that the person who flew over The woman could have rescued her daughter directly, but she tortured her daughter a lot and let her fall into the cold lake. At such a young age, her thoughts were so vicious.

After Mrs. Guo waited for her daughter to take the decoction and fall asleep, she got up and hurried to find the old man. Ying'er could not suffer this crime in vain, and she must let the old man go to King Xiu to seek justice.

Mr. Guo, who was doing official business in the study room, frowned when he heard that the young lady asked for an audience. His daughter-in-law rarely came to the study room. His son had been away from home for the past two days and suddenly came to look for him. It must be because of the incident of his granddaughter falling into the water. Mr. Guo's face looked a little grim. Unpleasant,

He said to the housekeeper in a deep voice, "Let her come in."

Mrs. Guo had already suppressed her anger, and after paying her respects to Mr. Guo with red eyes, she began to cry.

"Father, today I wonder if my father already knew that Ying'er accidentally fell into the lake when she went to swim in the lake? My daughter-in-law has already heard what happened from Ying'er's maid. My daughter-in-law is grateful to the woman on the dragon boat for saving Ying'er's life. ,

However, the daughter-in-law was really puzzled. Since the woman came to save Ying'er out of good intentions, why did she play tricks on Ying'er and let her fall into the water again? The cold lake water made Ying'er's delicate body how to She could bear it. Finally, the woman had enough of the excitement and rescued Ying'er again. Otherwise, Ying'er wouldn't have such a severe fever.

Father, you must make the decision for Ying'er. She just kept crying for her grandfather to help her. She seemed to be greatly frightened. The daughter-in-law couldn't stand it anymore, so she had the courage to tell her father about it. Just now When my daughter-in-law left Ying'er's room, her body was still shaking. My daughter-in-law was really distressed~~~~"

Mrs. Guo's words were already choked with sobs, as if Guo Yinger had been greatly wronged.

Mr. Guo frowned and looked at his eldest daughter-in-law with dissatisfaction. This eldest daughter-in-law knew that he always loved his granddaughter and knew how to say it to impress him. When he heard his daughter-in-law say that his granddaughter was calling his grandfather for help, he couldn't bear it. What's more, the words behind the eldest daughter-in-law's words.

Mr. Guo took a deep breath. It would be fine if he didn't know the cause of the matter. However, King Xiu had sent someone to truthfully tell him the whole story. The guard also mentioned at the end that his granddaughter's cloak was left intact. to the stern.

Mr. Guo's old face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. He had been in the officialdom for a long time, so there was nothing he didn't understand. His granddaughter's little thoughts were really embarrassing.

Mr. Guo looked at his eldest daughter-in-law with an angry tone.

"Just take good care of Ying'er, and wait until Ying'er wakes up to ask about the rest. If she didn't fall into the water on purpose, there would be nothing to do next, so please step back first."

He would not talk too much about his eldest daughter-in-law. He would tell the details of the matter after his eldest son came back. Sometimes his eldest daughter-in-law could not understand clearly, which gave him a headache.

Now that Ying'er has reached the age of marriage, it is better to find a husband for her as soon as possible and marry her off. Don't do these embarrassing things again. The most important thing is not to drag down the Guo Mansion because of this matter. If Xiu Xiu The king pursued it, and according to the emperor's protection of King Xiu, their Guo Mansion was definitely not safe.

Mrs. Guo looked in disbelief when she heard this. Did Yinger fall into the water on purpose? She still understands her daughter, is she doing this to attract King Xiu's attention? She knew that her daughter liked King Xiu, and she suddenly realized how her daughter could be so stupid.

If King Xiu takes a fancy to her, there are many ways to do it, so why risk her own life? Before the matter was clear, Mrs. Guo had no choice but to follow her father's wishes and hurriedly exit the study. If the woman really did it on purpose, she would definitely She won't let it go, her daughter is not someone to be bullied.

Mr. Guo looked at the figure of his eldest daughter-in-law and sighed softly. This eldest daughter-in-law couldn't handle things well. Although she was from a famous family, she had developed this temperament since she was a child. If she wanted to correct it, it wouldn't be a day or night. She would just have to worry about her son in many ways. Now it's hard to delay Ying'er's marriage, so it's better to settle it as soon as possible, lest the mother and daughter cause a big disaster one day.

Heyi Tower Elegant Room

King Xiu sat on the main seat, with Dongfang Xuan on his left, Yun Xiwan and Xia Qianling on his right.

Shopkeeper Liu had already received the Queen's instructions and had made preparations in advance. When King Xiu's carriage arrived, he personally led King Xiu and his entourage from the backyard and directly entered the private room on the second floor from the other side.

In the hall full of diners, no one knew about King Xiu's arrival. King Xiu once again lamented the attentiveness of his younger siblings. If he was interrupted while having lunch, he would really lose his good mood.

Sitting at the table, Yun Xiwan watched the dishes being brought to the table one after another, her eyes getting brighter and brighter. She had not tasted many fresh dishes yet. Today was truly a feast for the eyes and mouth. She was extremely grateful to the Empress. If not The Queen made arrangements in advance, so they still had to wait a long time to be seated...

She had inquired about it. No one could jump in line when dining in Heyilou, no matter how high the official position was...

King Xiu glanced at Yun Xiwan, who was barely wiping her saliva beside him, and chuckled,

"Miss Yun and Miss Xia, there are no outsiders here. There is no need to be polite, and there is no need to be reserved. You can eat whatever you want."

Yun Xiwan looked at King Xiu with her sparkling eyes and nodded quickly, "Thank you, King Xiu."

Xia Qianling, who was originally a little nervous, relaxed slightly when she heard King Xiu's gentle voice, and thanked King Xiu.

King Xiu turned to look at Dongfang Xuan again, and ordered shopkeeper Liu to bring another pot of fine wine so that he and Young Master Dongfang could have a few drinks.

After King Xiu picked up the bamboo chopsticks and picked up the first dish, Yun Xiwan and Xia Qianling then picked up their own bamboo chopsticks and reached for the dishes in front of them.
