After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace
Chapter 17 Will they come to call for punishment?
Fu Yunjing got off the carriage and returned to the palace, then headed towards Qionghua Courtyard.
When Ruyi found out, she felt like she was facing a great enemy and hurried into the warm room.
"Princess, the prince is here. We just saw that actress today. Could it be that she said something to the prince, so the prince is here to question us?"
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Ruyi gritted her teeth in anger and cursed Lin Jianyue from head to toe in her heart.
Gu Zhiyin sat on the couch by the window, with a thick stack of account books on the top-quality Huanghuali low table in front of her. When she heard Ruyi's words, she said without even raising her head, "Lin Jianyue came to me on his own. I didn't do anything. Am I afraid that he will come and accuse me?"
If Fu Yunjing was really so unreasonable, she could still ask her grandmother for support.
She won't do anything that is not right, but she won't just give in when she is right.
Just as he finished speaking, the maid's voice of greeting was heard at the door.
"This servant greets the prince, may the prince be blessed!"
"Well, get up." A deep and magnetic voice sounded: "What is the Princess doing?"
Maid: "Checking the accounts in the warm room!"
"Yes." Fu Yunjing understood and waved at her: "Go away."
The maid bowed and left.
Fu Yunjing walked into the warm room.
The room seemed to have been redecorated. It was simple yet elegant. There were several paintings and calligraphy by famous artists hanging around, and neatly arranged books on the bookshelf. On the table stood a white jade vase with a few light strokes outlining a pattern of koi carp playing in the water. A few branches of gorgeous peach blossoms were inserted in the vase, and the faint fragrance wafted in the air.
"Greetings to the Prince." Gu Zhiyin got off the couch and saluted to Fu Yunjing.
Ruyi followed closely behind.
"No need to bow, sit down." Fu Yunjing gave her a hand and said softly.
Gu Zhiyin observed his expression and asked Ruyi to serve tea.
"Grandma asked you to be the housekeeper. Are you used to it?" Fu Qujing sat down opposite her and asked.
Gu Zhiyin smiled slightly and said, "My grandmother asked Mother Qin to teach me. Mother Qin taught me very carefully."
What I meant was that I learned quite well.
In fact, Gu Zhiyin had the experience from his previous life, so taking over the Pingyang Palace was a piece of cake now.
Fu Yunjing was just looking for a topic to talk about, and after listening, he just nodded casually.
"That's good."
Ruyi brought the tea, Fu Yunjing took it and drank it sip by sip.
He didn't say anything, and Gu Zhiyin didn't ask any more questions.
The room suddenly became quiet. Fu Yunjing glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and saw that she was reading the account book again as if no one was around, as if it had nothing to do with her whether he was there or not.
"Um... today... did you see Yue'er?"
Gu Zhiyin's hand that was turning the page paused when he heard that. He raised his head and looked at Fu Yunjing deeply with his dark eyes, which made him feel uneasy.
"If you have anything to say, please speak frankly." Gu Zhiyin put down the account book and asked calmly.
She couldn't guess what Fu Yunjing was thinking, and there was no tacit understanding between them, so there was no need to beat around the bush.
"Yue'er is outspoken, but she definitely doesn't mean any harm." Although he was angry, he had to protect the woman he loved, and Gu Zhiyin had done nothing wrong, so Fu Yunjing didn't want her to misunderstand him.
He didn't want to disrupt the current state of respect between the two.
"The prince is in such a hurry to come back to see me, is she afraid that I will make her angry?"
"That was not what I meant."
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I have never thought of competing with Miss Lin. After all, she is your beloved. For your sake, I will not make things too difficult for her.” Gu Zhiyin said with a faint smile.
But if Lin Jianyue stepped on her face, she couldn't be blamed for fighting back.
After hearing what Gu Zhiyin said, Fu Yunjing felt that he would be too inhumane if he continued to be aggressive. He could only drink his tea awkwardly. As soon as he lowered his head, the tea was gone.
He put down the teacup. Gu Zhiyin wanted to ask Ruyi to pour tea, but Fu Yunjing stopped her: "I'm going to pay my respects to my grandmother."
"Go slowly, Prince."
Gu Zhiyin did not try to persuade him to stay, and stood up to see him off in a cheerful tone.
In Chaohui Hall, the old princess knew that her grandson had returned to the mansion and went to Qionghua Courtyard. She was so happy that her teeth were not visible: "It turns out that he has to get married. Look, isn't he thinking about his wife?"
Mother Qin just came into the room. When she heard what the old princess said, she said with a smile: "Old princess, I'm afraid it's not what you think."
As soon as the prince went to Qionghua Courtyard, she became concerned, thinking that the princess had gone out today, so she went to Mama Yang to inquire about it. She also learned from Mama Hu that the princess went to Yunjian Teahouse to drink tea. Unexpectedly, the actor went to find the princess.
It is conceivable that if the prince returns to his mansion to find his wife at this time, can anything good happen?
When Old Wang listened to Mother Qin's report, the smile on his face froze for a moment, and the veins on his forehead couldn't help but twitch.
"This bastard..."
"Greetings to the Prince."
When the old princess heard the noise outside, her face immediately darkened. After watching Fu Yunjing enter the room, she snorted, "You still remember to come back."
I wanted to scold him, but I swallowed the words back when they came to my lips.
Her grandson was already bewitched by the actor. If she suddenly taught him a lesson on behalf of his grandson's wife, he would probably misunderstand that Yinyin came to complain to her, making their originally harmonious relationship become tense.
"May your grandmother be well."
"I can't live in peace if you stay with that vixen every day." The old princess said unhappily.
“Grandma, Yue’er is not the person you think.”
"Okay, I won't say anything." The old princess asked, "You came back today, is there something going on?"
Fu Yunjing smiled and sat down next to the old princess: "It's okay, I missed grandma so I came back to see you."
When the old princess heard this, she looked suspicious: "That's it?"
"That's it!" Fu Yunjing nodded.
The old princess was silent for a moment, then said, "My arms and legs are fine, you don't need to see them, go check on Yinyin."
"I've been there. I just came from Qionghua Courtyard."
"Hiss..." The old princess glared at him and said, "Did you go and cause trouble for her?"
Fu Yunjing: “No.”
The old princess continued to probe him calmly: "Really? If I knew that you bullied her as soon as you returned home, I would not forgive you."
"Absolutely not, Grandma! I am your grandson, and you still don't believe me? How can you be so partial to an outsider?"
I am no longer your most beloved grandson.
"What outsider? Yinyin is now a member of our Fu family. She is my granddaughter-in-law. She is more sensible, calm, well-behaved and considerate than you. If I don't favor her, how can I favor you who always opposes me?"
If I hadn't been in pain since I was a child, my leg would have been broken long ago.
Fu Yunjing opened his lips, but for fear of making the old princess angry, he decisively shut up.
"It's rare for you to come back, so have dinner at grandma's place and ask Yinyin to come as well." The old princess continued.
Upon hearing this, Mother Qin happily went downstairs to make arrangements.
As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Fu Yunjing.
"Don't ask her to come along yet. I have something to discuss with my grandmother alone."
