The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

The next day, Lu Yun changed into the white clothes given by Jiao Ying and went to Zhang's house first. However, the boy guarding the gate said that the eldest brother had left early in the morning and his whereabouts were unknown.

After seeing the person leave, the child turned and walked into the yard.

"Second Master, the princess has already gone back."

The man sitting under the tree was holding a book in his hand. "I understand. You can go down." Half a day passed, but he didn't turn a page.

Before leaving, Mrs. Lu deliberately took a detour to the Hechu Courtyard, her face full of disdain. "If you hadn't discovered it in time, what would have happened to you in the future?" Zhang Yun's eyes were gloomy. "Mother, please go quickly. Don't miss the time."

Old Madam Lu snorted softly, "Now you know you're anxious, why didn't you tell me earlier? Forget it, forget it. Today, even if I have to sacrifice my old face, I will snatch her back from you."

After hearing Madam Hui's words, she had thought he had feelings for the girl from the Gong family. Even though she didn't like the girl's flamboyant nature, she still gave the beads away. She hadn't expected it to be the eldest girl from the Jiao family.

There was something important to do today, so Mrs. Gui changed into her new clothes early in the morning and wrapped her hair tightly with a flowery headscarf, leaving no trace.

As the sun rose to noon, they finally saw the Jiao family's carriage. Mrs. Gui glanced at her son, then smiled and stepped out to greet them.

"Yingying is here."

Luo Yun stood on the steps at the door without moving.

Jiaoying helped Caidie get out of the car, "Auntie."

Mrs. Gui saw that she was still wearing the same goose yellow wide-sleeved shirt and her hairstyle was unchanged, and the smile on her face almost disappeared.

The group entered the flower hall, and Luo Yun found a corner to sit in. Luo Er sat beside Jiao Ying, looking down at the tea bowl beside him. He looked much quieter than before.

"Second sister, I haven't seen you for a long time." Jiao Ying's gentle voice broke the silence. "I didn't see you at Grandpa Zhang's birthday banquet last time."

Luo Er raised his head, clasped his hands tightly on his legs, and gave a somewhat awkward, flattering smile. "Thank you for your concern, cousin Ying. I didn't go that day because I wasn't feeling well."

"Yingying, what have you been busy with recently?" Mrs. Gui personally poured her a cup of hot tea with a very intimate look.

Jiao Ying took the tea bowl with both hands and said embarrassedly, "I promised to give the princess the dress half a month ago, but I only received it the day before yesterday, so I went to the palace yesterday. When the princess learned that I was coming to visit my aunt today, she talked to me a lot."

Mrs. Gui forced a smile and said, "Your Excellency's words cannot be believed."

"Don't worry, Auntie." Jiao Ying smiled and placed her hand on hers. "You are my auntie, how could you let me suffer any harm? To be honest, I dreamed of my mother last night."

The smile on Mrs. Gui's face disappeared completely, and she spoke with a hint of guilt, "What did your mother say to you?"

Jiao Ying seemed unaware. "My mother said that my aunt and she were sisters and she would never treat me badly. My mother said that she always misses my aunt."

Mrs. Gui had a strange look on her face, and for a moment no one spoke in the hall, which fell into a deathly silence.

Luo Yun smiled silently. He suddenly felt that his cousin was more interesting than he had imagined. Luo Er lowered his head, his clasped hands motionless.

Luo Jiang ran in from outside, looking around, "Mother, where is Second Brother Song?"

Mrs. Gui stood up and shouted angrily, "How many times have I told you to call someone? Come over and meet your cousin Yingying."

Luo Jiang pouted unconvincedly and said, "Hello, cousin Ying." As soon as he finished speaking, his true colors were revealed, "Cousin Ying, where is Second Brother Song?"

Before Jiao Ying could answer, she saw Mrs. Hui "walking" in from outside.

Mrs. Gui was surprised and forced a smile, "Madam Hui, what are you doing?" Seeing this, the maids who were blocking Mrs. Hui's way stepped back.

Mrs. Hui walked across to her, her eyes half-smiled, "Mrs. Gui, could you please excuse me for a moment and talk?"

After the two left, Luo Er's eyes were extremely complicated, and his voice was so low that it could not be heard, "Cousin Ying, you shouldn't have come to my house today."

Jiao Ying never expected that Luo Er would say such words to her. She was stunned and her eyes turned red.

If he knew, would he persuade me not to come? Probably not. Uncle Zhang seemed gentle and meticulous, but he was actually free and easy, coming and going like the wind, and he hated to interfere with other people's karma.

Since it wasn't him, it didn't matter who she married. At least Cousin Luo wouldn't force her to be a qualified wife, and the two families were of equal status.

Jiao Ying let out a breath and smiled gratefully, "Thank you, cousin Zhizhi."

Footsteps were heard outside the flower hall again. Jiao Ying was stunned again, her eyes full of disbelief. "Mrs. Lu."

Madam Lu glanced around and didn't see Mrs. Gui. Without saying a word, she stepped forward to pull the little girl up and made up a lie, "Your grandfather is now at the Zhang family and asked me to take you back."

The maid standing at the door of the flower hall wanted to stop him, but was glared back by Master Luo.

My grandfather? Before Jiao Ying could figure it out, she was dragged out of the Luo family's gate by Old Madam Lu.

Mrs. Gui was so angry that she was shaking all over. No one had ever let her suffer such a loss before. Mrs. Hui shook the things in her hand and said, "Mrs. Gui, there is no need to send it."

She no longer cared about her niece's sudden departure, so she chased Luo Er and Luo Jiang away. She sternly stopped Luo Yun as he tried to leave, "Let me ask you, where did Wang Zheng go?"

Luo Yun's expression froze slightly, and he turned around with an impatient look, "Mother, I've already sent him away as you requested. What else do you want?"

"Send him away?" Mrs. Gui's vision darkened, and she wished she could strangle this rebellious son to death. "What do you mean by send him away, is that you keep him in a small house and provide him for your amusement anytime, anywhere?"

Luo Yun didn't pretend to be indifferent. "You don't care where he goes, as long as he's not at the Luo family!"

Mrs. Gui pulled out a piece of red paper from her sleeve and threw it over her head. "Look for yourself."

Luo Yun bent down to pick it up, read the contents clearly, and suddenly smiled. "Mother, haven't you always wanted to marry into the Gong family and have your son marry Gong Jinjin? Now that you've gotten your wish, why aren't you happy?"

"Before was before, and now is now. The palace dislikes the Gong family, and Gong Jinjin has offended the princess and the princess. How can she be worthy of being your daughter-in-law?" Mrs. Gui said with hatred. "But that shrew Hui actually used Wang Zheng to threaten me with your and the Luo family's reputation, forcing me to agree to her conditions."

A carriage was parked in an alley not far from the Luo family's residence. Lu Yun, seated in the carriage, could see the scene at the Luo family's entrance clearly. Madam Gui and the old lady from the Zhang family entered the Luo family's residence one after the other. Madam Zhang went in a moment before bringing Jiao Ying out.

Just as Lu Yun was about to tell the driver to follow, Madam Hui emerged with a piece of red paper in her hand. Madam Gui, always the most enthusiastic about the Gong family, hadn't shown up. What on earth were these families up to?

Lu Yun was puzzled and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to Jiao Mansion. Since he couldn't figure it out, he might as well go to the mansion and ask directly.

But halfway through, they heard the crackling sound of firecrackers coming from the front. Someone in the crowd shouted, "The Jiao family is having a good time!"
