Princess Guo of Prince Yu received the message and hurried back to her parents' home.

After learning that everything was known, Meng Yunshang stood up and smashed the blue and white porcelain teacup in her hand in anger, "How dare Meng Yunshang!"

Mother Guo asked anxiously, "Yuer, didn't you say that Meng Yunshang was a fool and was not favored by King Heng? But King Heng has come to our house for her, how can she not be favored!"

Guo Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Prince Heng did not like her before, but when I came back this time, I clearly felt that something was wrong with Meng Yunshang."

It's not just something wrong, it's like he's a different person.

"What should we do? Are we just going to let them harm your brother? And your father, without the convenience of being the Liangjiang Salt Inspector, how can he help the prince?"

"Not only did my uncle lose his power, but our business was also affected. In just one day, the business of all the shops plummeted."

"Cousin, you have to think of a solution. If this continues, my Guo family will probably be squeezed out of the ranks of aristocratic families."

The Guo family is large, but the division of labor is clear.

The first house is engaged in politics and the second house is engaged in business.

In the past, everyone prospered together, but now everyone suffers together.

Guo Yue gritted her teeth. If Guo Chengxuan had offended an ordinary family, she would find a way to go there and put pressure on them with her status as a princess, which would surely shock them.

But it was King Heng who did it himself.

Considering Lu Chenxiao's reputation in the capital over the years, even if the Guo family reconnected Guo Chengxuan's tendons, they might not be able to keep him forever.

Not to mention that this matter also alarmed the emperor. Who knows whether dismissing the Liangjiang Salt Inspector is the final punishment or the beginning of a test?

Guo Yue was exhausted and could not help but complain, "Mother, you are such a fool. Can't you just watch over Ah Xuan? You had to let him cause so much trouble. No matter what, Meng Yunshang is a princess who is on the royal jade disc. How can he flirt with her in public?"

Guo's mother has lived a life of luxury all her life, but now that she is old, she ends up being scolded by her own daughter, in front of the second wife.

She was ashamed and annoyed.

"Your brother is not a three-year-old child. How can I let someone tie him up?"

Guo Yue felt a little helpless because her parents had asked her, as the eldest daughter, to give way to her younger brother in everything.

After she grew up and married Prince Yu, she was asked to help her younger brother more.

Now that Guo Chengxuan was in trouble, she, a married woman, was called back to her parents' home immediately to find a solution.

Those who know would say that they have a deep sisterly love, while those who don’t would think that Guo Chengxuan is her eldest son.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Guo's mother said, "You are also responsible for this matter. If Honglang hadn't dragged Xuan to Tianxiang Tower to relax, but left early, how could Xuan have met Meng Yunshang?"

"Mom!" Guo Yue was shocked. "What are you talking about? It was A Xuan who suggested going to Tianxiang Tower. Lang Er also told A Xuan that he left early."

"A Xuan could have returned home right away, but he just refused to change his evil ways. Not only did he offend Tianxiang Tower, he also caused such a big disaster."

"Such a big thing happened, but you didn't say a word to educate Xuan. Instead, you pushed the responsibility onto Lang'er, who is still a child. How can you be so biased!"

"I..." Guo's mother was speechless, but soon she started crying out to the sky again.

"Your father was suddenly dismissed from office and is still on his way home. Your brother is seriously injured and is in bed. As a woman, I am at a loss as to what to do. I specifically asked you to come back to discuss countermeasures."

"But you are so good, you keep asking for responsibility and drawing a line. Is there anyone who treats a daughter or a sister like you?"

One sentence after another was full of accusations against her, and even the second wife looked at her with dissatisfaction.

As if she was some heinous criminal.

Guo Yue curled her lips and sneered, "Whatever you say, that's it."

After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Guo Chengshi from the second house stopped her immediately and said, "Cousin, it will take a few days for my uncle to return to Beijing. Please tell me what we should do now."

"I'll discuss this with the prince when I get back home."

Guo Chengshi bowed respectfully, "Then we will wait for good news in the mansion."

Back at the palace, Guo Yue asked the housekeeper, "Where is the prince? Is he studying in his room?"

The butler hesitated and did not dare to answer truthfully.

Guo Yue understood immediately.

She asked solemnly, "If he wasn't studying in the room, where did he go?"

"In reply to the princess, the prince went to practice horse racing outside the city. He said he would participate in a horse racing meeting in a few days."

"Nonsense!"

He had just been rescued from Longwu Mountain, but he ran out to make trouble again. What on earth is going on in his mind!

The housekeeper was frightened by her anger and stood by without saying anything.

Guo Yue took a deep breath and asked again, "Where is the prince? Is he in the study?"

The butler shook his head.

"The prince is watching Concubine Song dancing in the garden, and Concubine Meng is on her way over."

Guo Yue's anger reached a new level, and he hurried to the garden with his men.

*

In the garden, Song Jingjing finished her last dance move and fell into Lu Yuanjing's arms, panting.

The beauty was sweating profusely, but her makeup was not damaged at all. As she approached, a faint fragrance wafted into the air.

Lu Yuanjing clasped Song Jingjing's slender waist with both hands and lifted her to sit on his lap.

"Prince~" Song Jingjing called tenderly, looking at Lu Yuanjing with lively and charming eyes.

Originally, Lu Yuanjing had been busy for many days and felt bored and tired, but holding a beautiful woman in his arms always makes people forget many worries.

Seeing that he looked happy, Song Jingjing took the opportunity to speak tenderly, "Prince, my brother is getting married in a few days..."

Lu Yuanjing stretched out his fingers and rubbed her red lips to stop her from speaking.

Song Jingjing's eyes moved, and she bravely held his finger in her mouth.

Lu Yuanjing's eyes were deep, and he lowered his head and covered his red lips.

Song Jingjing was surprised and delighted, and couldn't wait to put into use all the skills she had learned in the past few days.

However, just as the two were absorbed in their thoughts, a sharp rebuke sounded.

"Song Jingjing, you bitch, you're seducing the prince again while I'm away!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Xueyun strode in, grabbed Song Jingjing and wanted to slap her.

"My lord, save me!"

Song Jingjing cried to Lu Yuanjing for help, and her soft and weak body immediately leaned into Lu Yuanjing's arms.

In the end, Meng Xueyun's slap failed to land on Song Jingjing's face, and she herself was pushed by Lu Yuanjing and staggered a few steps.

"Your Majesty, you pushed me away for her? I'm still pregnant with your child."

Meng Xueyun covered her stomach and questioned Lu Yuanjing in an exaggerated tone.

Guo Yue happened to arrive and slapped Meng Xueyun in the face. "You are so bold, Meng. Who allowed you to speak to the prince like that?"

"I," Meng Xueyun covered her face and glared at Guo Yue angrily, "The princess treated me like this because she was worried that I would give birth to a son for the prince."

"I want to give birth to a son. Not only that, I want him to be a man of both literary and martial arts, and someone who can help the prince."

This is just short of pointing at Guo Yue's forehead and saying that the Lu Honglang she gave birth to is incompetent.

How could Guo Yue bear it? She raised her hand and slapped Meng Xueyun again, causing blood to seep from the corner of her mouth.

She looked at Lu Yuanjing miserably, hoping that he could stand up for her.

But Lu Yuanjing seemed not to hear it.

Guo Yue glanced at her with contempt and signaled to the maid beside her, "Send the two concubines back. This princess has something to say to the prince."

"I'll take my leave," Song Jingjing left first with a strong desire to survive.

Meng Xueyun was very dissatisfied, but since Lu Yuanjing didn't ask her to stay, she had to leave.
