Forcing me to raise a concubine? The mistress of the Marquisate has gone mad

It would be ugly if these things in the backyard were to come to light.

Although Prince Shun also bore the blame this time, it was the princess who did it after all, so strictly speaking, it was a matter between two women.

Therefore, the censors who impeached Prince Shun only found out that Prince Shun had poor personal ethics and wanted to cause trouble for him.

If we really want to use this incident to cause him any substantial harm, that is absolutely impossible.

This is also why the princess would rather spend a lot of money to find a storyteller than to cause trouble for Shen Ruoyan in the name of the palace. After all, she is not stupid enough to that extent - if she does that, the nature of the matter will change.

Shen Ruoyan is a woman, the mistress of a marquis's mansion, it is impossible for her to show up in public and confront the princess in court.

Rumors can sometimes be a sharp weapon that hurts people, but sometimes, they are also a sword of innocence used in helpless situations.

The storyteller incident had a great impact on the princess's reputation. At first, she didn't take it seriously, but gradually, she realized something was wrong and began to worry!

"Princess, Princess Yihe sent someone to take the invitation back and said..." The maid hesitated and did not dare to continue.

But the princess was already furious, and seeing her hesitating like this made her even angrier, so she ordered someone to slap her in the face: "What did you say? Didn't you open your mouth?!"

Blood slowly flowed down the corner of her mouth. The little maid didn't dare to resist, and didn't even dare to cry out in pain. She quickly knelt down and said, "The princess said that the princess is not virtuous and is not suitable to attend her flower-viewing banquet!"

Princess Yihe is the only daughter of Empress Dowager De'an. Although she is not her biological daughter, she is registered under the name of Empress Dowager De'an, just like the current emperor, and is extremely noble.

Her biological mother was the legitimate daughter of the Weiguo General's Mansion. She was heroic and brave. After entering the palace, she and Empress Dowager De'an became like sisters and they could talk about anything.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Princess Yihe's mother could not bear the blow of her family being involved in treason and committed suicide.

The entire Weiguo general's family was executed, leaving only the princess alive.

Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager held power and mobilized all parties to collect evidence. She finally vindicated the Weiguo Mansion, punished the treacherous officials, and served justice!

But the person was gone, and the Queen Mother and the Princess could only hang the head of their enemy in front of the tombstone to comfort the deceased's soul in heaven.

From then on, Princess Yihe became very popular in the palace. Although her mother's family was destroyed, the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion was once extremely powerful and had great influence in the army. There were still many old subordinates left in the army who should not be underestimated.

These people were loyal to the princess and grateful to the queen mother.

After hearing that the Queen Mother had passed away, he was extremely grief-stricken and wished he could take her place!

Princess Yihe, who was raised by the Queen Mother, hated evil and could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. She invited all the prominent families in Shengjing to the flower viewing banquet, and these high-ranking families had a very good reputation outside.

Princess Yihe is already past the age of marriage, but has yet to choose a husband.

The emperor respected the princess's wishes in everything, citing his love for his sister.

But there are even more people who are secretly making moves.

Everyone knows that among the women in the palace, Princess Yihe is the most noble. She is the daughter of the Empress Dowager and has a deep relationship with the Emperor. If one can climb up to her high branch, I am afraid that the ancestors' graves will be filled with smoke!

But Princess Yihe had high standards and she did not even care about people from high-class families, let alone other people.

Therefore, even Prince Shun could not catch the eye of his sister. But even the emperor had to give face to his sister, so Prince Shun asked the princess to make friends with Princess Yihe.

The princess was so proud when she received the invitation, and now she is so angry!

"Shen Ruoyan, I'm going to kill you!"

The princess hated Shen Ruoyan so much that she wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood to relieve her hatred! If it wasn't for her, how could the princess take back her invitation?

If this matter gets out, won't all the noble ladies in Shengjing laugh at her?

She was the only one whose invitation was taken back by Princess Yihe!

When people are unlucky, even drinking cold water will make their teeth ache. I thought that being disliked by the princess and having the invitation taken back was already a great insult. But unexpectedly, the next day, it was reported that Princess Yihe had sent an invitation to Shen Ruoyan!

"A flower viewing banquet..."

In the Marquis Changning's Mansion, Shen Ruoyan sat at the table, looking at the gold-embossed invitation in a daze.

Princess Yihe, Song Siyuan, is her best sister and the daughter of Wei Yuanyuan. When the Wei family was in trouble, Wei Yuanyuan ran around to no avail, but she did not commit suicide.

She is the daughter of a general. Even in a place like the harem, she cannot change her heroic nature, and the sense of justice and persistence in her heart.

When Lu Hua first entered the palace, she suffered a lot because she was too naive. It was all thanks to Wei Yuanyuan who stood in front of her and helped her solve her problems. Otherwise, she would have died in the cannibalistic palace!

No one is born ruthless and decisive, she is like this, and so is Wei Yuanyuan.

They relied on each other in the harem and supported each other to move forward. They thought they could go to the end like this, but what happened to the Wei family directly shattered her last innocence and fantasy.

Once upon a time, she had had a little affection for the late emperor.

However, when he personally ordered someone to deliver the white silk to Wei Yuanyuan's palace, that last bit of hope was completely shattered.

The Wei family was accused of treason and collusion, a capital crime punishable by the execution of all nine generations of the family!

Wei Yuanyuan collected evidence everywhere. She firmly believed that her family members were not such people. This matter must have been deliberately framed by someone!

Lu Hua also believed this and helped her to find connections and ask for help from others, just to clear the bad reputation of the Wei family and restore the good name of these patriotic warriors.

Unfortunately, she didn't wait.

Wei Yuanyuan didn't wait either.

When she was granted the white silk, she had just given birth to Song Siyuan. Before she even had a name, she received the news that her entire family had been executed.

She was such a tenacious person, but she couldn't stand up. She still dragged her body and asked people to pass on messages to her, protect the evidence she collected, and take good care of her daughter...

"The child is innocent. She was born without the hope of her family and the love of her parents, but it's not her fault. I will let her down in this life. I hope Hua'er can forgive me and take on my motherly responsibilities and raise her up."

Lu Hua's life was saved by Wei Yuanyuan, how could he not agree?

But she never dreamed that it would be Wei Yuanyuan's farewell to her!

The late emperor had long been wary of the power of the Wei family. The Wei family's existence made him unable to sleep well.

Therefore, when something happened to the Wei family, he didn't even conduct a thorough investigation. He used this as an excuse to suppress the Wei family and take back the military power from them so that he could sleep peacefully.

Even though his sense of security was built on the mountains of corpses and seas of blood of the Wei family...

The white silk given to Wei Yuanyuan was bestowed by him personally. At the same time, there was also an imperial decree to confer the title of Princess Yihe on Song Siyuan.

Choosing between his daughter and himself, Wei Yuanyuan accepted the white silk and went to his death resolutely.

From then on, Lu Hua named her daughter Song Siyuan - to remind her of Wei Yuanyuan forever and to let her never forget her mother's kindness.
