Madam Cheng had just gone to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, preparing to discuss something with the Duke's wife, when she happened to see her hurriedly leaving the mansion with some people. Upon asking, she learned that she was entrusted by the Princess of Ming County to come to the Marquis of Xing'an's Mansion to help her bring Princess Yunhua back to the palace.

The reason was that the princess's condition worsened, but the Xing'an Marquis and his wife imprisoned the princess and did not allow anyone from the palace to visit her.

It is not known why the Xing'an Marquis's Mansion was so bold, but how could she turn a blind eye to her savior who needed help? So she immediately got on the carriage of the wife of the Duke of Huguo and came together.

When Wei heard what Mrs. Cheng said, the smile on her face suddenly cracked like a wind-dried wall, and she was dumbfounded!

Are they here to see...Fu Yunyao?

Wei looked at the wife of the Duke of Huguo with a stiff face, and asked unwillingly, "I wonder why the wife of the Duke of Huguo is here today?"

The wife of the Duke of Huguo smiled faintly: "I heard that Princess Yunhua was seriously ill, so I came to visit her. I didn't expect that the Prince and Princess were here too."

"I'm afraid it's an inopportune time for Aunt Ji to come today. The Marquis and his wife won't let you in." Gu Zhiyin shook her head helplessly.

When Wei heard this, the corner of her eye twitched violently. Just as she was about to explain, she saw the wife of the Duke of Protectorate frowning.

"What's going on? Not to mention that the Marquis' Mansion and the Pingyang Prince's Mansion are relatives, there is no reason to not let the relatives in. Just talking about status, how can the Xing'an Marquis' Mansion have the courage to stop the Ming County Prince and the County Princess."

"Lord Ji, the current emperor has always been very strict about rules. A marquisate should not be like this, where the inferiors violate the superiors. You are trying to disregard the reputation of the Ji family. There are other noble families living around your Xing'an Marquisate. Are you afraid that others will not know? The princess married into your family. In theory, she is the daughter-in-law of your Ji family, but in terms of status, she is a noble princess. If the princess knew that you excluded her family from the house, you could be punished if you really care."

"Mrs. Ji must also be hoping for a harmonious family and a happy life, and doesn't want things to get so ugly."

With every word the wife of the Duke of Huguo spoke, the faces of the Marquis of Xing'an and his wife turned paler.

"Madam, you have misunderstood. It's not that we don't let the Prince and Princess in. It's just that the doctor said that Yao'er's rash is contagious, and we are thinking about them too." Wei said with an apologetic smile.

The Palace of the Duke of Huguo is a hereditary family with a long history. Not only is the current queen from the Liu family, but the Duke also holds military power and a high position of power. It is much more noble than the Palace of Prince Pingyang, which only has the title but no real power.

Ji Kang and Wei dared to challenge the Pingyang Palace, but they did not dare to offend the wife of the Duke of Huguo.

Otherwise, the Duke of Protectorate would only need to move his finger and the Ji family would have no chance of recovery.

"Because my eldest sister has been ill for a long time, my grandmother is worried about her and has invited Doctor Qi to treat her. Whether the illness is really contagious or how serious it is will be determined after Doctor Qi feels her pulse. Besides, we are a family with the princess, so we are not afraid of being infected. The prince just said that if you two are worried about being infected, you can just wait outside."

Wei glared at Gu Zhiyin fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "We are also thinking about everyone. It is unreasonable for the Princess to be so aggressive."

Fu Yunjing stared at Wei and said in a cold voice, "You two have been trying to stop us from seeing my elder sister. Could it be that you have ulterior motives or something fishy?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can we have ulterior motives?" Xing'an Hou growled with a dark face.

Madam Cheng glanced coldly at the couple of Marquis Xing'an, and said with a smile: "Since there is no one, let the imperial physician go in to see the princess. The Marquis and his wife have been asking us to stand at the gate. I have been in the capital for so many years and have never been turned away. After all, my Cheng family has no title and is of low status, so we cannot enter the gate of the Marquis Xing'an Mansion..."

Madam Cheng's smile immediately turned cold as she spoke: "In that case, I will go to the palace and ask Concubine Jin to summon Madam Hou to ask her about it."

Wei was horrified. Seeing Madam Cheng turning around and looking like she was about to leave, she hurried over to the people and stopped her: "Madam Cheng, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, we definitely didn't mean that."

The wife of the Duke of Huguo stopped him at the right time and advised: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. The Ji family is a marquisate after all. How can they be ignorant of etiquette?"

Mrs. Cheng snorted and glanced at Wei with a squint. She said nothing, but she didn't show any intention of leaving either.

It seemed as if he was persuaded to stop just to give face to the wife of the Duke of Protectorate.

Although Lady Huguo was speaking on behalf of the Xing'an Marquisate just now, she was actually putting pressure on them in secret.

Ji Kang looked at the tense atmosphere at the door and felt panicked.

Things have come to this point. If he dares to stop it again, he will offend both the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and the Cheng family.

If he had offended the Cheng family, he could still struggle a little, but if he had offended the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, he would be close to death.

"I dare not, I dare not!" Ji Kang pulled Wei and clasped his fists towards the wife of the Duke of Protectorate.

After saying this, he quickly ordered his servants to open the main door and welcome the few people into the mansion.

Fu Yunjing walked beside Gu Zhiyin and whispered, "Did you call them here?"

It's about the wife of the Duke of Huguo and Madam Cheng.

Gu Zhiyin raised her head slightly, looked at him and said, "The wife of the Duke of Huguo is, but Madam Cheng is not."

"Did you expect that the Ji family would not let us in?" Fu Yunjing asked with a frown, looking at Ji Kang and his wife who were walking in front and were extremely respectful to the wife of the Duke of Huguo and Madam Cheng.

Gu Zhiyin: "If I had brought people to the Xing'an Marquis's mansion, it would be true. My mother sent three invitations in a row, but the wife of the Xing'an Marquis refused, let alone me. So I asked Ruyi to go to the Huguogongfu to ask the wife of the Duke for help. I didn't expect you to come today."

What she meant was that if she had known Fu Yunjing would come, she wouldn't have to ask the wife of the Duke of Protectorate for help, nor would she have to worry about not being able to get in.

Fu Yunjing was very pleased and puffed out his chest: "That's it!"

Gu Zhiyin: “…”

She was too embarrassed to say it. If the wife of the Duke of Protectorate and Madam Cheng hadn't come to put pressure on the Ji family, they wouldn't know when they would be able to enter the Ji family's gate today.

She was just being polite, but Fu Yunjing was so proud of it?

Ever since Fu Yunyao fell ill, Prince Ji moved to the front yard.

The Marquis of Xing'an and his wife invited the wife of the Duke of Huguo and Madam Cheng to go to the main hall, but they refused and said they wanted to go see Fu Yunyao.

The guard guarding the yard bowed and saluted when he saw the visitor.

"Meet the Marquis, Madam."

Fu Yunjing looked at the guards who stood every three steps and every five steps, and his handsome face emanated infinite coldness.

A princess like a princess was actually treated like a prisoner by the Ji family...

Marquis Xing'an waved his hand at the two men and asked them to step aside.

When a few people walked in, the yard was quiet and there were no servants serving.

"Because it is contagious, most of the servants in this courtyard have been sent to other places, leaving only a few to take care of the princess." Wei explained softly.
