Long Live the Empress

When Aunt Su woke up, Nanny Li told her that Yue Jinghong had been found, and was only slightly injured, and was not in serious condition. However, in order to preserve Yue Jinghong's reputation, she let Yue Jinghong recover from her injuries in the general's mansion before returning.

Aunt Su finally felt relieved and nodded happily, "I feel relieved to have my brother take care of Jinghong."

The next day, when paying respects to the old lady, Yue Tianhong reported to her about finding Yue Jinghong, "Grandma, my sister couldn't sleep that night so she got up and walked around. Unexpectedly, she ran into my uncle at the Qingshan Taoist Temple and was taken back to the general's residence by my uncle. Now my sister is a guest at the general's residence and will be back in a few days. Please don't worry about my second sister anymore, grandma."

Yue Tianhong's words were full of loopholes. Although the old lady had doubts, for the sake of Yue Jinghong's reputation and the reputation of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, the old lady had no choice but to follow Yue Tianhong's words and said, "In this case, let Jinghong stay in the General's Mansion for a few days before coming back!"

Yue Yuyan pouted and refused to do it. "Grandma, my second sister is too ignorant. She didn't even send someone back to report after she went to my grandparents' house. She made grandma and father worry about her for so long in vain."

Yue Tianhong did not refute this time, but lowered his posture and bowed deeply to everyone. "This time, it was my second sister who was ignorant. Tianhong apologizes to everyone here."

With Yue Tianhong in this attitude, what else could the crowd say? The matter just ended in nothing.

The second aunt had been feeling weak recently, so she was walking slowly behind the crowd. Suddenly, she smelled a faint odor, which made her dry heave.

"What's wrong with Second Aunt? Did you eat something wrong?" Yue Tianhong's voice sounded faintly behind Second Aunt, scaring her so much that she almost fell down.

"Young Master, you are joking..." The Second Aunt took a few steps back and bowed in reply.

"The weather is getting colder, please take care of yourself, Second Aunt!" Yue Tianhong glanced at Second Aunt with a smile, "What if something happens to Aunt, what will Third Sister do?"

The Second Aunt looked at Yue Tianhong in horror, "Master...Master, what do you mean?"

Yue Tianhong looked at Yue Jinghao who was walking away, "There will be a flower boat party the day after tomorrow evening. If Second Aunt invites Big Sister to go and watch it, Big Sister will definitely not refuse."

"The eldest lady has been kind to me, I cannot be an ungrateful person! Please find someone else, sir!" The second concubine turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yue Tianhong's words, "Hey, then I will take the third sister with me, I'm sure the third sister... will have a good time..."

The Second Aunt knelt on the ground in fear, "Please, Master, please let the Third Miss go! Master, if you have any instructions, I will do it. Please, Master, let the Third Miss go!"

Yue Tianhong smiled sinisterly and looked at the second aunt who was kneeling on the ground.

In the afternoon, the second aunt came to Jinyuyuan carrying a food box.

"Miss, these are pastries that I made myself. Although they are not as good as those made by the third concubine, they are still delicious. Please try them." The second concubine diligently brought out plates of exquisite pastries and placed them in front of Yue Jinghao.

Yue Jinghao picked up a piece and tasted it. "I didn't expect Second Aunt's cooking skills to be so good. Thank you, Second Aunt~"

Seeing that Yue Jinghao was not on guard against her, the Second Aunt felt even more entangled, but thinking of Yue Tianhong's warning, the Second Aunt had to harden her heart and said, "There is a flower boat party the day after tomorrow night. I want to invite Miss to go and see it together. What do you think, Miss?"

Yue Jinghao ate the pastries and savored them carefully, "Third sister, are you going? Third sister loves the hustle and bustle, and she has stayed in Changqing Temple for so long, she must want to go too." Yue Jinghao was giving Second Aunt a chance, reminding her that it was she who saved Yue Yuyan at that time.

Second Aunt paused, and the smile on her face was no longer as natural, "Third Miss has been feeling unwell recently, so she won't go..."

Yue Jinghao nodded as if she had suddenly realized something. "If that's the case, then I'll go with my aunt!"

The Second Aunt chatted with Yue Jinghao for a while and then went back in a hurry.

Yue Jinghao looked at the exquisite pastries on the table, her eyes gleaming coldly. Human nature is like this. Even if she had saved Yue Yuyan before, when danger came, Second Aunt would still push her out without hesitation. In this case, don't blame her for being ruthless...
