I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

When the doorman came to report, they stood up quickly, thinking that their husbands had returned.

Unexpectedly, it was Prince Ling who came.

According to etiquette, the head of the family should have come to greet them, but the weather was cold and the old man was old, so Yu couldn't bear to make trouble, so she and Rong went to the door to greet them.

The cold wind at night was the most freezing, but Prince Ling just stood at the door, not looking embarrassed at all.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you..." the two sisters-in-law said in unison.

"Madams, please get up. It is wrong to disturb you so late at night. But in order to relieve you from worrying, I am here to inform you that the two generals have received the imperial edict and sent troops to Yingzhou to quell the rebellion overnight. Madams, you can rest on your own and there is no need to wait any longer..."

Although they had been mentally prepared, Yu and Rong were still stunned for a moment when they heard the news.

But after all, he is a military man, so he accepts things much faster than ordinary people.

After Yu realized what was happening, she said, "It is my duty to serve the country. Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming to inform me at night..."

She originally wanted to invite him in, and then order people to get up the old general and entertain him well. After all, he was a prince, and it was really inappropriate for him to stand at the door and blow the cold wind.

But Prince Ling refused. "It's late at night and it's freezing cold. Don't bother the old man. I'm going back home now. Please tell Yan'er that there's a patient in the palace who needs her care... Goodbye..."

"Farewell, Your Majesty..."

After seeing Queen Ling off, Yu and Rong returned to the flower hall. That night, they could not fall asleep and stayed awake until dawn.

The next day, before the old general went to court, he informed them.

Before the old general could speak, Gu Qingsu spoke in surprise, "What? You left Beijing directly after entering the palace yesterday?"

Yu replied, "Yes, it was Prince Ling who came to inform us late at night, saying that he was going to Yingzhou to quell the rebellion. As for what kind of rebellion happened in Yingzhou, we have no idea. Let's see if there will be any news in the court today."

Gu Qingsu wanted to ask something else, but was stopped by General Gu, "Okay, go report for duty quickly, and don't ask your sister-in-law questions."

Gu Qingsu became obedient.

After the old general left, Yu and Rong went to Songhe Hall to wait again.

It was early in the morning, and it was still dark. The old lady had not gotten up yet. They couldn't sleep anyway, so they returned to the yard, feeling empty inside.

Although the war was tense in Chiling Pass in the past, the couple rarely had time to be intimate.

But at that time, the women and children of the Gu family were busy helping to stabilize the rear and had no time to think about anything else.

Nowadays, when people have more free time, their minds are free and they like to think about random things.

As soon as the day broke, the old lady got up.

Nanny Wen came out of the room at the right time and saw the first and second wives standing in the yard.

She hurried over and said, "Oh, why are you two ladies here so early in the morning? It's so cold, don't catch a cold! Quick, quick, come into the house!"

One of them pulled someone into the house, and told the maid to light the charcoal fire, called the hot water woman, and asked someone to make ginger soup.

After putting new cloaks on them, he rubbed their hands vigorously to warm them up.

The fog was heavy in winter, and tiny water droplets condensed on their cloaks, making them wet when touched.

There are even small water droplets on the hair.

Nanny Wen was the old lady's dowry. She followed the old lady into the Gu family when she was fifteen or sixteen years old. Several generals in the Gu family were all raised by her. She also accompanied the old lady to propose marriage to these ladies one by one. She watched them enter the mansion and loved them like her own children.

Seeing them like this, Nanny Wen felt so distressed.

"Madam, if you have anything to say, you can just ask me. How can you stand outside in the cold wind? If the old lady knew about this, she would be so distressed... But I can't bear to disturb the old lady, so you can just ask a night watch girl to call me... Look at my hair, it's wet because of the fog..."

With their husbands suddenly leaving for the war and their future uncertain, Yu and Rong were confused. They didn't feel cold, but they were numb and didn't know what to do.

If it wasn't an extremely urgent matter, why would His Majesty call someone away in the middle of the night? He didn't even have time to go back home and talk to his family, and he left the capital directly...

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.

I thought that coming to the old lady would give me a backbone and I wouldn't be so panicked.

"Mammy, don't worry, we are fine. We have only been here for a while..." Yu knew that Mammy Wen was worried about them, so she said so many things.

Since they married into the Gu family, the three of them have never suffered any injustice.

My parents-in-law are open-minded and never set rules for them, let alone speak harshly to them.

They all love them like their own children.

Nanny Wen sighed, her brows furrowed, "Don't try to trick an old woman like me. You've only been here for a while, how could your hair and cloak be wet? From now on, no matter what time or weather it is, just let the servants inform the ladies when they arrive, don't wait outside. Ah, the old lady is kind and won't blame you..."

She turned her head and looked at the sky outside. "It's time for the old lady to get up. I will go and serve her first. The two ladies, wait a moment and drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm your bodies."

The old lady had already gotten up, washed, and put on her clothes with the help of her maid, and was waiting for Nanny Wen to come and comb her hair.

Seeing that she was late, he didn't mean to blame her, but just asked casually, "What happened today? You are always on time?"

Nanny Wen washed her hands, wiped off the water stains, then walked over quickly, picked up the ox horn comb from the dressing table, and slowly soothed the old lady's scalp.

After combing her hair for a while, she said, "The first and second wives came before dawn without letting anyone know. They just stood outside the yard and were blown by the cold wind. When I got up and saw them, my hair and cloak were wet by the fog. I invited them into the yard, lit a fire and boiled ginger soup. My hands were frozen and my nose was red."

"What? These two silly kids, why didn't they tell someone to call me! Come on, comb your hair!"

Nanny Wen's movements were not slow, but today they were even faster. The old lady was very caring towards her daughters-in-law. If nothing major had happened that left them at a loss, they would not have been like this.

The old lady didn't even have breakfast. She combed her hair and hurried to the small flower hall.

Yu and Rong had just finished drinking the ginger soup when they caught a glimpse of the old lady coming. They quickly put down their bowls, stood up, bowed, and called out, "Mother..."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Sit down, sit down, don't be polite."

But the two of them still waited until the old lady took her seat before sitting down somewhat stiffly.

"Madame Wen said that you came here before daybreak and have been standing outside in the cold wind? Silly child, why didn't you ask someone to wake me up?"
