Bo Yan'er was speechless and could only lower her head in grievance.

Old Madam Bo cleared her throat and tried to interrupt, but Princess Changling continued, "Concubine Ning is so pitiful. Her family is helpless, and she has a cousin and concubine who is eyeing her covetously. If it weren't for the fairness of the Imperial Concubine, she would have almost been killed today."

If the previous words were a veiled accusation, then this sentence is pointing fingers and saying that the Bo family has bad intentions.

Ning Xianyun quietly glanced at the changing expressions of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she felt more at ease.

"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? I and Old Madam Bo are close friends and have known each other for so many years. Old Madam Bo is not that kind of person." The Queen Mother pretended to be angry and glared at Princess Changling, but her eyes were full of love.

Princess Changling pursed her lips and snorted.

With Princess Changling interrupting, the Queen Mother looked at Old Madam Bo again and asked in a neutral tone, "Don't listen to this girl's nonsense. What's going on?"

There was a pair of eyes staring at her all the time. Old Mrs. Bo was sure that if she dared to say a bad word about Concubine Xu, she would definitely not be able to leave the palace today.

I have no choice but to accept this loss.

"It is true that Concubine Bo offended the Imperial Concubine. Fortunately, the Imperial Concubine was generous and did not take it seriously. Otherwise, it would have been the fault of the Bo family."

The Queen Mother was also willing to smooth things over, so she gave some rewards and let the person leave the palace.

Before leaving, he warned Ning Xianyun: "This baby of yours is the Third Prince's eldest son, you must take good care of him."

Ning Xianyun nodded obediently: "Yes."

It was already evening when they left the palace. Ning Xianyun was sitting in the carriage. The next moment, Bo Yaner lifted the curtain and came in. She stared at Ning Xianyun and said, "Concubine Ning, I was wrong today and misunderstood you. Don't be angry."

Ning Xianyun was used to big scenes, so she would never take such a trick seriously. She calmly withdrew her hand and said, "Concubine Bo was indeed reckless today. She offended the Imperial Concubine, which is really bad for our Third Prince's Mansion."

Bo Yan'er didn't expect that after she apologized with a humble look, she was not treated with generosity but scolded. She couldn't hold back her expression.

"Concubine Bo, when you return, you should copy the Women's Virtues and Women's Precepts a hundred times each to remind yourself at all times. Don't forget your identity!"

Ning Xianyun stared at Bo Yan'er with a dim gaze, which made Bo Yan'er tremble with fear. She blinked again and saw that Ning Xianyun opposite her was plain-looking. How could she have any aura at all?

She squeezed out a word from between her teeth: "Yes!"

After shaking for half an hour, the carriage arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion. By then, the Third Prince had already gone to Hecheng, and Ning Xianyun became the owner of this house.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the Liu family waiting. Ning Xianyun raised her eyebrows and went to visit the unconscious Liu Xiangling. As expected, Madam Liu was sitting next to Liu Xiangling.

"Madam." Ning Xianyun called out.

Madam Liu smiled at her. She had heard about what happened in the palace a long time ago. She held Ning Xianyun's hand and said, "Concubine Ning, you have done a good job. Now the Xu family is targeting the Bo family. You must not get involved. As long as you behave yourself, no one can do anything to you."

Ning Xianyun nodded.

Madam Liu lifted her sleeves unnoticeably again, and looked at the bright red toad blood on her wrist, her smile becoming even more intense.

Ning Xianyun pretended not to see it and looked at Liu Xiangling on the couch with concern: "How is the princess today?"

"It's still the same." The smile on Madam Liu's face disappeared. She shook her head and looked at the person on the couch helplessly.

"Before he left, His Highness said that he would look for a miracle doctor for the princess along the way. Maybe he can cure her. Don't worry, Madam." Ning Xianyun comforted.

Madam Liu was very satisfied with the Third Prince's attitude. She nodded with satisfaction and then pulled Ning Xianyun aside to chat about other things.

Compared with the tranquility of the Third Prince's Mansion

There was a lot of resentment in the backyard of the Bo family. Old Mrs. Bo was so angry that she threw the teacup on the table to the ground. Not feeling satisfied, she picked up a vase and smashed it to the ground.

The vase had several broken petals, and the floor was covered with debris and mess.

Mrs. Bo didn't even dare to breathe.

"Mother." Lord Bo came in and calmed down Mrs. Bo's anger: "No flower lasts forever, and Concubine Xu can't stay in favor forever. She is so ostentatious, and one day she will be pulled down."

Mrs. Bo raised her eyebrows: "What does this mean?"

"Today I met Mr. Liu on the street and asked about the Queen's situation. If the Queen cheers up, what's the matter with Concubine Xu?"

Lord Bo continued, "The Queen intends to support the Prince of Jin to ascend to the throne. The Prince of Jin will enter the palace in a few days. No matter how favored the Imperial Concubine is, she will eventually fall out of favor one day if she has no children."

"I'm afraid that before that bitch Xu Minghuang falls out of favor, my old bones will be humiliated to death." Old Mrs. Bo patted her chest. She had not been to the palace for many years. Today, she entered the palace and was severely humiliated by Concubine Xu. She really couldn't swallow this humiliation.

Old Mrs. Bo looked at Madam Bo, and her vicious eyes frightened Madam Bo so much that her limbs went limp: "Mother... Mother."

"The old lady of the Xu family died of anger. The Xu family still remembers this anger. We have to find a way to resolve it. Otherwise, if we continue to make trouble, the Bo family will fall apart." After sitting down, Mrs. Bo rubbed her brows and said to Madam Bo, "You go to the Xu family in person to apologize."

"Mother?" Mrs. Bo's heart skipped a beat and she quickly said, "After so many years, even if my daughter-in-law went to apologize, the Xu family might not relent."

"No matter if it works or not, we have to give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways." Mrs. Bo took a deep breath and said, "You should always think about Chuan'er and Jie'er. They are under the pressure of Concubine Xu. With just a few words, Yan'er's child has become worthless. Chuan'er is also suppressed by Xu Feng. If the Xu family just wants to make a stand, it will be easy to deal with."

Old Mrs. Bo saw Mrs. Bo's resistance and comforted her, "The Xu family can't really take your life. You don't really want to see the Bo family being targeted, do you?"

Mrs. Bo had no choice but to look at Mr. Bo, expecting him to say a few words, but Mr. Bo avoided her sight.

At this moment, Mrs. Bo's heart sank.

"Someone, prepare a carriage for the lady!" Mrs. Bo ordered.
