The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 31 The Ways in the Palace

A nanny came from Prince Su's Mansion. She was plump and fair and looked very kind.

But this proves the saying: Don't judge a book by its cover.

This person who looked kind, but spoke was not as kind as imagined. She walked into the hall, bowed to the old lady symbolically, and said: "The Sixth Prince said that the third lady of the first-rank general's mansion has entered the Suwang Mansion. Although she has not yet been married, the government has signed the document. So the third lady is the Suzheng Consort anyway, there is no doubt about it. Today, this old servant came here to take our princess back, and please help the old lady of the Ye family."

Xiao was unhappy, and she remembered what the Sixth Prince said at the gate of Prince Su's Mansion that day, so she said, "Didn't the Sixth Prince say that it doesn't count if there's no wedding ceremony? He said it himself, and I heard it clearly. Oh, and he also said that we should return the betrothal gifts. Now, we are discussing to bring the betrothal gift list here, count it according to the list, and send it back to Prince Su's Mansion when people are allowed to walk on the street."

After saying that, he glanced at the maid again and asked, "Has the ban on the street been lifted? How did you get out?"

The maid laughed twice, "Look at what the Second Madam said. You can't ban anyone else's behavior, but you can ban the Su Wang Mansion! People in our mansion can move around. So, the Su Wang Mansion is different from other mansions. After all, no matter which prince becomes the emperor, our Sixth Prince will always be the only son of the Queen Mother. Don't you agree?"

Xiao snorted and said nothing more.

The old lady sat at the head and thought for a while, then she tilted her head and asked Jun Tao in a low voice, "Didn't you go to Hongzhuang's place this morning? Have you seen her face? Can it be cured?"

Jun Tao shook her head gently, "Madam, I think it's hard to heal. The cut is too deep, the flesh is turning outward, and it will definitely leave a scar after it heals." "Alas!" The old lady sighed, and turned to Xiao and said, "She is right. Regardless of whether we have a wedding or not, the government has signed a document. Our Hongzhuang is definitely the Princess Su. If the Sixth Prince said anything that day, it must have been said in anger, so it can't be taken seriously." After saying that, she looked at the nanny with a smile, "Don't you think this is true?"

The maid quickly agreed: "That's right, that's right. Otherwise, the old lady is the most reasonable one."

Xiao was still not happy. She had planned for the Sixth Prince before because she hoped that Ye Wenyan could heal his wounds. Only after the wounds were healed could the following things be accomplished. But now the wounds could not be cured, and she was asked to send Ye Hongzhuang back. If she could not be cured, wouldn't she have wasted her beautiful daughter?

She stood up, walked up to the old lady, and whispered her concerns.

The old lady sighed after hearing this: "I know what you are thinking. You think that if the Sixth Prince can cure her, you should let Hongzhuang go back, and our two families, together with the Queen Mother, can plan for the future. If the Sixth Prince cannot cure her, you don't want Hongzhuang to go back, and you want to keep her at home first, and then find a way to send her to the palace in the future. Shubai, you are confused! Hongzhuang's face is damaged, and you keep her in the mansion. What use is she? Who can like a girl with a damaged face? Moreover, even if her face is not damaged, do you think a girl who has been carried into the Prince Su's Mansion once can enter the palace again?"

Xiao's heart sank. That was her daughter. The old lady's words "What use is she to" made her feel that her daughter was just a tool. She could be used if she was useful and thrown away if she was not.

But think about it, which girl is not like this? Even she herself, wasn't she also a pawn in the marriage between the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion and the First-Rank General's Mansion? Wasn't it her mother's careful planning that led to her entering the Ye family?

Xiao had nothing to say. She walked back to her seat, looked at the plump white nanny and nodded, which meant she agreed to let Ye Hongzhuang go back.

The maid smiled and said, "Then please ask someone to help the Third Miss pack up and follow me! The palace carriage is waiting outside!" Just after she finished speaking, two or three people came in, one was a maid from the general's mansion, and the other two were dressed in palace costumes.

The fat white nanny pondered for a while, then suddenly opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "Isn't this Miss Baochan? Why are you here when you are not serving the Empress Dowager?"

The person who came was Baochan. When she heard the nanny talking to her, she replied casually, "Of course, the Empress Dowager asked me to come." After that, she bowed to the old lady and said, "Baochan greets Old Madam Ye."

A maid following behind her also bowed, "Old servant Cui greets Old Madam Ye."

The old lady was a little confused. What happened today? People came to her one after another. It was understandable that they came from Prince Su’s Mansion, but why did people from the palace come here?

She asked cautiously, "Miss Baochan, does the Queen Mother have any instructions?"

Baochan nodded, "That's right." The old lady stood up, "But is it an imperial decree? Or an oral order?"

Baochan shook her head, "Not really, old lady, please sit down quickly. Your Majesty wants to talk about family matters, so there is no need to accept your order."

"It's a family matter!" The old lady sat back. Since it was a family matter, it must be related to the Sixth Prince and Ye Hongzhuang.

Baochan didn't keep the secret. Seeing that the old lady was seated, she immediately said, "The Queen Mother said that Miss Hongzhuang is pregnant now and it is not suitable for her to move around, so please stay at her parents' home to take care of the baby. The palace has sent the most experienced Nanny Cui to take care of her. Please make some arrangements. Oh, by the way, during the period of pregnancy, all of Miss Hongzhuang's food and clothing will be borne by the Queen Mother."

The old lady was stunned. To nourish a baby? To nourish what baby? Where did Ye Hongzhuang get a baby?

She looked at Xiao, her eyes full of questions.

Xiao was also devastated, she knew all too well the tricks of the palace. The Su Palace came to ask for someone, but in fact they wanted not Ye Hongzhuang, but the baby in her belly. Apparently, the Queen Mother also thought that the Su Palace would do this, so she rushed to stop it, not allowing Ye Hongzhuang to go to the Su Palace, but letting Ye Hongzhuang stay at her parents' home to take care of the baby, and also sent a nanny to come.

This is clearly waiting for the child to be born! If it is a son, then there is nothing to say, and both mother and son can enter the Prince Su's Mansion.

But if it's a daughter, I'm afraid no one will acknowledge this child. After all, it's useless for a disabled Sixth Prince to have a daughter. At that time, the Ye family will have to swallow the bitter fruit by themselves, and they will not be responsible.

She was a little panicked, the old lady was so angry that she was about to fume, the others were all surprised, and Ye Wenyan leaned back in his chair and waited for the show.

The plump white nanny from Prince Su's mansion said to Baochan with a smile on her face, "The Queen Mother is really thoughtful. I will go back now and tell our prince. Please give the Queen Mother a greeting and tell her that the Sixth Prince misses his mother very much."

Baochan nodded, "I'll pass on the message. Thank you for your trip." The plump white nanny left, and did not talk to the Ye family again before leaving. Only Baochan and Nanny Cui were still waiting, and they were obviously a little impatient. Then Nanny Cui asked, "Where is Miss Hongzhuang? Please ask Madam Ye to send someone to take the old slave there, so that Miss Baochan can return to the palace as soon as possible to report to the Queen Mother."

What else could Madam Ye say? She had already lost all her face, and there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn't go against the Queen Mother's wishes.

So he waved his hand and asked Jun Tao to take Nanny Cui to find Ye Hongzhuang.

Baochan did not stay long. Seeing that everything here had been arranged, he bowed and walked away with a swagger.

It was not until everyone left Fuluyuan that the old lady slammed the table in anger and loudly questioned Xiao: "How dare you hide such a serious matter from me! Where do you put my dignity?"

Xiao's heart trembled and she quickly knelt down, "Mother, please calm down. There is nothing we can do. Hongzhuang also wants to keep the Sixth Prince's heart. After all, the Sixth Prince's previous engagement was..." She stopped here and looked at Ye Wenyan.

The old lady changed the subject and stopped arguing with Xiao, and said directly to Ye Wenyan: "Are you satisfied now?"

Ye Wenyan blinked, "Grandma, this question is wrong. We should ask you if you are satisfied. After all, this marriage of Third Sister was decided by Grandma and the Queen Mother. So, Grandma, are you satisfied now?"

"I..." The old lady was about to suffocate again. Xiao got up from the ground and rushed over to help the old lady with her back. After a while, the old lady recovered and this time started to attack Mu - "Is this the child you taught?"

Mu was also a person who would not give in. Since her face had been torn apart, there was no need for her to worry about whether she was filial to her daughter-in-law or not, so she immediately retorted to the old lady's words - "At least the child I taught has a sense of shame, at least the child I taught would not climb onto a man's bed before getting married! If one day my child is shameless to that extent, I will slap her to death without anyone telling me!"

She pulled the daughters around her and said, "Madam, do you have any other instructions? If not, we will go back first."

The old lady was so angry that she rolled her eyes and quickly waved her hand to let them leave.

Mu took her three daughters away, Ye Wenyan and Ye Qingmei held their mother's arm on each side, and Ye Lianmian followed behind with increasingly slow steps. When the three people in front of him had all left Fulu Courtyard, Ye Lianmian finally stopped, turned around and ran back.

Ye Wenyan glanced back, and Madam Mu moved her arm to signal her not to care. She only said, "If what I just said came true, it must have come true on the second young lady. The old lady is actually not wrong. I really don't know how to teach children, but I have no choice. Lian Mian was taken to Fuluyuan by the old lady when she was born, saying that it was to entertain her, but she ended up with such a temper."

Ye Qingmei quickly advised her: "Everything will be fine in the future. As long as we are all nice to our second sister, she will definitely feel our feelings and will slowly become close to us." Ye Wenyan didn't say anything, but when Mu subconsciously wanted to hold her hand, she gently shrank back.

Her hands were too cold, and it was obvious that they were not the body temperature of a living person...
