Splendid Twins

The old lady took a quick look and saw that all the people who came were from the second wife. Where was the third wife?

Putting aside the doubts in my heart for the moment, I said to the person who came in:

"Come, everyone, have a cup of ginger tea to keep the cold away."

"Grandma, you called us here, is there something wrong?"

Zhou Zhao, the second son of the second wife, is only ten years old this year, at the age when he loves to play. He had originally made an appointment with others to go appreciate the lotus in the rain, but just as he was about to go out, he was called over by the old lady's people.

"It's raining so hard outside, why are you still sitting still?"

The lady in charge of the second room glared at the youngest son who ran outside all day long. She also had some doubts in her mind. It was not a festival, why were they called over?

But she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she glanced at her unhappy son with a pouty look:

"Your grandmother misses you, you little heartless bastard..."

"It's unfair, grandma. Your grandson misses you too. Come, come, let me give you a massage..."

Zhou Zhao smiled obediently and walked behind the old lady to rub her shoulders. The old lady squinted her eyes and joked:

"The force is just right. Brother Zhao has learned well."

"Hey, grandma, I learned this specifically to serve you."

"Okay, you're thoughtful."

At this time, two more people came in from outside the door. They were the Crown Prince's Consort and the Duke's wife.

After the Crown Prince's wife entered the room, she nodded to the old lady imperceptibly, while the Duke's wife looked unhappy. She knew that she had made others unhappy by taking the initiative to bring her daughter in, but so what?

Her daughter is pregnant now, so even if there is a huge conflict, she has to stop it for the sake of Longzi!

"Mother……"

The Duke's wife stepped forward and bowed, lowering her head slightly, waiting for the old lady's scolding. She could already imagine how she would be ridiculed and even severely criticized next...

"Everyone, please sit down. Why is the third room not here?"

The old lady simply glanced at the Duke's wife and then asked what was in her mind.

"This...I'm afraid it's because of the heavy rain that we're delayed..."

"How about I go and pick it up?"

Zhou Ying wiped the water droplets off her body, and her grandmother started to ask, so she must have something to say.

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from outside the door:

"I'm late."

Wei threw down the umbrella in her hand and walked in. As soon as she came in, she looked at the Duke's wife first. Seeing her staring at her with hatred, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at the old lady:

"I don't know if my mother called me... is there something wrong?"

Then she turned around and sat opposite the Duke's wife. She was arrogant and looked down on everyone, but so what?

She was sure that the Duke of Zhenguo would not treat her harshly, and she thought of the hints her good cousin had given her a few days ago...

Today, she wants Zhang to die!

At this moment, her people might have already met with the people from Prince Li's Mansion...

"Humph!"

As soon as the Duke's wife saw Wei, she glared at her. The hatred in her heart was like a raging fire, and she wanted to vent it out immediately.

But the reality forced her to endure it, just because she had a cousin who was a royal concubine and because the Wei Taifu Mansion was extremely powerful!

She couldn't risk her entire family's future to fight with this bitch!

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became tense.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening explosion sounded outside, resounding through the sky like a thunderclap!

"Oh!"

"Bang!"

The successive loud noises startled everyone, and the timid ones were already trembling with fear.

What's that noise?

"This...this is..."

The old lady was so shocked that she couldn't sit still. She stood up and looked at everyone:

"Don't panic, send someone out to check..."

"Grandma, your grandson is here to see you. Please wait."

Zhou Zhao was the first to speak up. Except for him, all the other people in the hall were women. It was raining heavily outside, so he should go out to check.

"Zhao'er..."

"Be careful."

Zhou Ying put an umbrella into her brother's hand:

"Go back quickly."

"understood."

Zhou Zhao opened his umbrella and rushed into the rain, and everyone's heart was lifted.

"Don't worry, Second Aunt, Zhao'er is smart."

When the Crown Prince's wife saw that the Second Wife was in a panic, she immediately began to comfort her.

The Duke's wife was thinking about Zhou Wan. Seeing the Crown Prince's wife comforting others, she whispered unhappily:

"You don't care about your own sister, but you put your eyes on others..."

When these words were spoken, the Crown Princess' face turned red, she knew that these words were directed at her.

The old lady scolded with a sullen face:

"Alright, why are you still being angry?"

The Duke's wife tightly twisted the handkerchief, and the anger in her heart reached its peak at this moment!

"bass!"

She stood up, looked at the old lady, and said with a trembling voice:

"Mother, what do you mean? Wan'er is not feeling well, and Shuhua is her sister-in-law. Shouldn't we be worried?"

The old lady gritted her teeth and endured it, what a fool!

She doesn't know what the situation is like outside. If her eldest son hadn't asked her to keep an eye on her and Wei, she wouldn't like either of them!

"Shut up! As the mistress of a mansion, how can you talk to me like this?"

Seeing the old lady getting angry, the maids and servants all quietly left. Zhou Ying wanted to say something, but was stopped by the second wife, whose eyes told her not to say anything more.

"Ah!"

At this moment, Wei deliberately spoke.

At this moment, the Duke's wife's face turned ashen, like the dark clouds before a storm, depressed and heavy, her eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, she said angrily:

"What do you mean!"

Wei's mouth curled up with a mocking smile, and said lightly:

"What do you say?"

This sentence was like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting the anger in the wife of the Duke.

She was so angry that she was shaking all over, her hands were clenched into fists, and her fingertips almost pierced her palms.

"This bitch is going too far!"

The Duke's wife ignored her manners and stepped forward to slap Wei, but as soon as she raised her hand, Wei grabbed it. She was obviously stronger than the Duke's wife, and said with disdain:

"Can I be as cheap as you?"

He threw the man down with great force. The Duchess' wife was not careful and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she was stopped by the Crown Prince's wife. Everyone saw her in such an embarrassing state, and there was murderous intent in the Duchess' eyes!

"Grandma, mother!"

At this moment, Zhou Zhao rushed in, soaking wet and with blood on his cheeks!

Everyone was stunned by this scene!

The second wife felt cold all over, her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up, and she said in panic:

"Zhao'er!"

"Zhao ge'er?"

The old lady suppressed her panic and said:

"Zhao'er, what happened?"

Zhou Zhao wiped his face carelessly and said breathlessly:

"The streets... were in chaos, the imperial guards were killing people everywhere, and some people were attacking our gates. Fortunately... the guards in the palace blocked the attack..."

"what!"

"How come this is so messy?"

The old lady's face darkened, and she made a prompt decision:

"You've heard it too. No matter what happened in the past, at this critical moment, you all have to put the overall situation first!"

These words were spoken to her two daughters-in-law, and sure enough, her son's guess was correct!

Something happened in the palace!
