Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

The third prince's wife scolded several people in a row, including the wife of the Grand Tutor, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the wife of the Prefect of Dongping Prefecture.

She said that Madam Taifu was deaf and blind, and she lived so close to here, but she didn't notice the loud noise last night.

She scolded the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei, saying that she did not know how to discipline people and that her daughter had been raised to have no sense of shame.

When she started scolding the wife of the prefect of Dongping Prefecture, she somehow thought of the dance that the prefect's daughter performed at the banquet. She became even more angry and cursed that the prefect's daughter was a vixen just like Miss Xiao.

How could the wife of the prefect accept such an insult, even if she was the prince's consort.

So she stepped forward to argue with the Third Prince's wife, but the Third Prince's wife was so angry that she had forgotten her identity and the consequences of her actions.

Without saying a word, she slapped the prefect's wife.

The air froze for a moment.

*

The Third Prince's wife finally regained her sanity after hearing the slap.

She looked at the wife of the prefect, who had five finger marks on her face, and looked at the third prince in panic.

A few meters away, the third prince's face was as gloomy as water.

He was upset just now and was a little slow in his movements, which resulted in her causing him such a big trouble.

It really makes him worry-free!

*

Taking a deep breath, the Third Prince instructed the guards waiting outside, "You must escort the princess back to the palace immediately. She is not allowed to come out without my permission!"

The Third Prince's wife knew that she had caused trouble, so she finally obeyed and quickly followed the others out.

Passing by Li Yu, she glared at him fiercely.

Li Yu: “…”

*

After all, the girl who had a relationship with the Third Prince was from the Zhenbei Marquis’s Mansion, not an ordinary family. Next, the Third Prince would have to give an explanation to the Zhenbei Marquis’s wife no matter what.

In addition, the Taifu Mansion and the Ministry of Rites Shilang Mansion were also affected.

Li Yu really wanted to see what happened next, but it was obvious that the Third Prince intended to resolve the issue privately, so except for the relevant personnel, everyone else was asked to leave.

*

Princess Jianing had seen enough of the fun, turned around and saw Li Yu and Xie Youlan standing together, and immediately ran to Li Yu vigilantly.

She held Li Yu's hand and said, "Why are you standing with her? Let's go. I don't want to be with her."

Li Yu glanced at Xie Youlan, and seeing that she had nothing to say, he followed Princess Jianing away.

There seemed to be a misunderstanding between Princess Jianing and Xie Youlan, but Xie Youlan hid it so deeply that she couldn't figure out what it was.

So now she can only choose to watch.

If one day she was sure that Xie Youlan had no ill will towards Princess Jianing, she might speak up for Xie Youlan, because she could see that Princess Jianing actually cared about Xie Youlan very much.

*

According to the original plan, there will be a flower-viewing activity this morning.

But now that such a big thing has happened, Li Yu and Princess Jianing can only return to their residence to rest.

In the middle of the morning, new news came.

It was said that the Third Prince had discussed with the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo that he wanted to take Miss Xiao as his concubine.

"This kind of thing happened between me and your eldest daughter. It is not good for the eldest daughter or the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, so I am willing to take this responsibility and welcome Miss Xiao into the prince's mansion. I just hope that you, the wife of Zhenbei Marquis, will agree."

These are the original words of the third prince.

Li Yu listened, not knowing what to say.

She didn't like the Third Prince and felt that he must have ulterior motives when he said such things.

Princess Jianing was not afraid, she muttered: "What he said sounds good, but he knows better than anyone what the purpose is."

He was still thinking about the military power of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, so he took this opportunity to gain favor with the Zhenbei Marquis's wife.

*

What Princess Jianing can think of, others can also think of.

So, when the news came out, the ladies and young ladies of each family had their own plans in mind.

The ladies wanted to take good care of their daughters and never let a situation like that of Miss Xiao happen.

The ladies thought that they must be more careful and not bring trouble to their sisters because of their own mistakes.

But how did the Third Prince and Miss Xiao do it? There were patrolling guards in the palace, so how did they blend in so quietly?

Just as the girls were racking their brains to guess the reason, new news came out from the residence of the Third Prince's wife.

The Third Prince's wife stabbed the Third Prince and Miss Xiao!

*

When Li Yu got the news, all the doctors accompanying the Queen went to check on the Third Prince.

"It is said that the Third Prince's wife used a lot of force. Miss Xiao will have a scar on her hand. The Third Prince's health is also...not good."

Qingbi told them the news she had heard.

"Then do you know why they fought?" Princess Jianing asked while drinking tea.

She had disliked the Third Prince since she was a child, and she hated him even more in recent years. Now that he was in trouble, she felt nothing in her heart, and even felt a little relieved!

Qingbi said: "I did hear a little bit. It was said that after the Third Prince told the news that he was going to marry Miss Xiao, the Third Prince's wife looked unhappy. Later, when Miss Xiao went to pay a visit to the Third Prince, the Third Prince's wife suddenly went crazy and stabbed Miss Xiao with a pair of scissors."

Qingbi sighed, "I heard that it was extremely chaotic at that time, and the servants didn't know what to do."

Li Yu and Princess Jianing looked at each other and caught a glimpse of understanding in each other's eyes.

That Miss Xiao is the best at acting, maybe she was stabbed on purpose.

However, the Third Prince’s wife and the Third Prince are not good people either, so the truth is hard to guess.

*

The imperial physician stayed at the Third Prince's place for more than half an hour. When the news finally reached Li Yu, it had become "The Third Prince and his wife urgently returned to the capital."

"The Third Prince's wife was stabbed too badly. The imperial physician was helpless and had to send her back to the capital." Qingbi described the news she had heard in vivid detail.

"What about Miss Xiao?" Li Yu asked.

Qingbi paused for a moment and said, "Miss Xiao also returned to the capital, but she took the carriage of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion. I heard that the Zhenbei Marquis's wife asked her to go home and reflect on her mistakes."

Li Yu: “…” This kind of treatment cannot be said to be good, but it cannot be said to be bad either. Anyway, as long as today’s incident is spread out, the girl from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will be criticized.

*

But without that malicious person, Li Yu felt relaxed for the rest of the time.

In the evening, she sat at the banquet again.

Everyone ate and drank and everything went smoothly.

But after the banquet, several noble ladies stopped Li Yu.

Princess Jianing thought they were looking for trouble, her face tensed, and she was about to reprimand them, but she heard the little daughter of the Grand Tutor anxiously say, "Princess, don't think too much. The sisters came here today to ask Madam Li if she could teach us the art of making the copper coins disappear."

After these words were spoken, not only Princess Jianing was stunned, but Li Yu was also stunned.
