"Why haven't you come back yet?"

"Is anyone okay?"

"If not, I will kill them at Prince Yu's mansion."

In Tong Huaqiong's house in Shengjing, Chen Sufen, Liu Yue'e, Zhao Tong Pandi, Gu Baishuang and others all looked anxious.

When they heard that they were going to face Princess Mingyue from Prince Yu's Mansion, Chen Sufen and Zhao's legs almost went weak.

The truth was that the highest-ranking official they had seen in Qinghe Bay was only Magistrate Liu, and except for yesterday, he had never interacted with the royal family.

Originally, Chen Sufen said that she was at least the emperor's wife, so why not go to the palace and hand in a sign to inquire.

Liu Yue'e retorted, Prince Yu is the emperor's younger brother, how high an official do you think a fifth-rank lady is? She can enter the palace whenever she wants, but the first- and second-rank officials of Shengjing cannot enter the palace casually.

Chen Sufen was so embarrassed that she burst into tears.

Hong and Lu Zhaozhao were able to keep their composure. One sent someone to inquire about the news from Lord Yao, and the other sent someone to inquire about the news from Lu Zhaoyang. As soon as they left the house, they were greeted by an old lady in a hurry.

This old lady, Mrs. Hong and Liu Yue'e had met once. She was the mother of the mighty general and Su Chengmin's grandmother, Old Lady Min.

Old Lady Min liked Tong Da Jiao very much and wanted her to be her daughter-in-law. However, her family was too poor to afford the 50 taels of silver dowry, so Tong Da Jiao was married off to the Gu family as a concubine.

Whenever she thought about this, Mrs. Min got angry.

Ever since I was brought out of Black Dragon Pond by the mighty general, I have never been back in all these years.

Upon learning that Tong Huaqiong had arrived in Beijing yesterday, he happily came to reminisce about the past.

Just when they were halfway there, they heard that the owner and young owner of Peach Blossom Dessert had been invited to the palace because of a dispute with Princess Mingyue. She was so anxious that she first sent someone to Jiangbei Camp to inform her son to go to the palace to get them out, and she went to Tong Huaqiong's mansion to wait in person.

After waiting for a long time, there was no news and no one showed up. She stood up and turned around anxiously.

Just as she was about to attack Prince Yu's mansion, she was persuaded by Gu Baishuang.

"My son Han Niu is also useless. He always tries to please the emperor, but why has he been in the palace for so long and still hasn't come out?" Old Lady Min scolded her son angrily.

Gu Baishuang and others looked at each other.

Yesterday, the Crown Prince was welcomed into the palace, and his own son, as a mighty general, led the troops to personally guard him.

After returning home, she asked her son if he had seen Tong Da Jiao, but her son hesitated for a long time.

Today she wanted to bring her son to Tong Huaqiong's place to reminisce about the past, but her son ran off to Jiangbei Camp early in the morning, which made her so angry that she scolded her son for being useless.

The girl in the Tong family already has several children, and her husband is dead, so there is nothing for her son to be shy about.

He's not a 28-year-old boy.

After scolding the mighty general, he began to scold his grandson Su Chengmin, saying that he had no hope of becoming the leader of the imperial guards and might as well pack up and go back to Heilongtan to grow sweet potatoes.

Gu Baishuang and others twitched their lips after hearing this.

The old lady scolded her own family too harshly.

"Old lady, let's wait a little longer." Gu Baishuang said. After receiving the news, her son Nie Xiaofeng also went out to inquire.

"How did our Taohua Dessert offend Princess Mingyue? Did Taohua's flamboyant behavior offend Princess Mingyue? Now that Princess Mingyue has targeted us, how can we do business?" After waiting for a long time without any news, Liu Yue'e said in a tearful voice.

She thought over and over again and couldn't understand how Peach Blossom Dessert could have offended Princess Mingyue.

The only person I can think of is my sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law was straightforward and hot-tempered. She thought Shengjing was Qinghe Bay, and she probably didn't know how to restrain herself when facing Princess Mingyue, thus offending Princess Mingyue.

Zhao glared at her daughter. Is it okay to complain about her sister-in-law casually?

What's more, the matter has not been concluded yet.

Old Madam Min glared at her and raised her voice, "Zhao Xiyue is not even worthy of carrying Taohua's shoes. As a princess, she has no royal demeanor or heart. She spends the whole day beating this person or killing that person. It's only Zhao Xiyue's fault that Taohua is her opponent. Taohua is not at fault at all."

Old Mrs. Min likes Gu Taohua.

It's not because she likes Tong Dajiao and loves Gu Taohua's family, but because Gu Taohua's cheerful personality suits her taste and her blessed appearance fits her aesthetic.

In her heart, how could Taohua be wrong? The one who was wrong must be Princess Mingyue.

"Grandma and auntie came out..."

Nie Xiaofeng knew that his mother and aunt were worried at home, so he came to inform them as soon as he got the news.

Gu Baishuang, Chen Sufen and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad that mother and sister are fine. Thanks to mother for keeping calm, we were able to resolve the situation with the princess." Chen Sufen patted her chest, and her respect for her mother-in-law became stronger. It was not something that an ordinary person could dare to accuse Prince Yu's Mansion of treason. But her mother-in-law did it, and she withdrew from it in one piece.

Liu Yue'e's heart sank to the bottom. Her sister-in-law had just arrived in Shengjing and didn't know the strength of Prince Yu's Mansion. If she offended Prince Yu's Mansion, what good would happen to the Gu family? So she said, "Now we have completely offended Prince Yu's Mansion. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to stay in Shengjing in the future."

Old Mrs. Min rolled her eyes at Liu Yue'e. She saw that her daughter-in-law was eloquent, so why wasn't she as steady as Tong Dajiao's honest stepson's wife?

"Second son's wife, I don't like what you said. Zhao Xiyue has been bullied to her face. If your mother-in-law and your sister-in-law don't tear her peach blossom dessert apart, she may not be able to keep it. If they tear her apart and accuse her of treason, let's see if she dares to jump around. Isn't this a big deal? Zhao Xiyue even apologized obediently."

Old Mrs. Min clapped her hands.

Tong Da Jiao is still as hot-tempered as ever.

Just like when she first came to Shengjing, those noble ladies looked down on her. She put her hands on her hips and had a fight with the emperor's concubine, who was then a prince, and the fight went all the way to the empress and the queen mother. From then on, dogs in Shengjing didn't dare to bark at her.

Although the noble ladies in Shengjing still looked down on her for being from the countryside, they dared not say a word to her face, but instead flattered her with a respectful look. Anyway, it was not her who was aggrieved, but them.

Tong Da Jiao is in the same situation this time. What makes her feel aggrieved is that Zhao Xiyue is from Prince Yu's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Min became more and more eager to meet Tong Huaqiong.

"By the way, has my son seen your grandma?" Old Mrs. Min asked Nie Xiaofeng.

Nie Xiaofeng smiled and said, "The general was afraid that you would be worried, so he ordered me to report that my grandma and my aunt were safe. The general didn't see my grandma. He had just entered the palace and my grandma had just left. The two of them didn't meet."

Old Mrs. Min looked regretful.

Zhao's eyes twitched.

When her mother-in-law was young, there was a rumor in the village that she and Min Hanniu were almost engaged. Later, it was said that Min Hanniu became a general. The villagers also mocked her for being snobbish and marrying into the Gu family as a stepmother for fifty taels of silver. She deserved not to be a general's wife, but a widow.

Look at what Mrs. Min means. She is looking forward to her son meeting her mother-in-law.

Won't there be a Shura scene when the two meet?

"What are you looking at? Do I have pockmarks on my face?" Mrs. Min asked straightforwardly when she saw Zhao looking at her.

Zhao laughed awkwardly and said, "It is said in the Yanguan Town of Heilongtan that the mighty general was able to rise from a cowherd to a general because of his mother's good teaching. Today, I finally met a mother who could raise a great general."

Old Madam Min chuckled and said proudly, "Of course not. If I hadn't trained him to dodge since he was a child, Min Hanniu would have been killed by the enemy when he was a rookie and knew nothing. How could he have become a general?"

Zhao: "..."
