Three days later.

Just after noon, Nanny Gui asked Qinghong Shuangjiang to harness the carriage to the outside of the bamboo garden and carefully arrange it.

By the time Li Shu was wrapped tightly up and helped into the carriage, the carriage was already as warm as her room.

In the middle of the carriage was a charcoal brazier, in which burned the finest golden charcoal that the Queen had sent the day before.

The seats were also replaced with soft, comfortable and warm fur cushions and pillows.

Therefore, Li Shu took off her fox fur coat before sitting down.

As soon as she sat down, she smiled and said to Aunt Gui, "You are so thoughtful, Aunt. I'm afraid there will never be anyone in this world who treats me better than you."

Aunt Gui felt a pang of sadness when she heard this.

Originally, the son-in-law, several young masters, and the general should all be better to the young lady than she is!

But after they had Xie Yu, they always gave priority to Xie Yu, and treated Xie Yu even better than they had ever treated the young lady!

I don’t know whether Xie Yu is bewitching people or they are possessed by some evil spirit!

Fortunately, the young lady had a strange dream about the future and no longer cared about them as much as before, otherwise she would have been hurt to no end by them!

I hope the day they regret it will come sooner, and then I will have to vent my anger for the young lady!

She then calmed herself down and said, "It snowed for two days straight and only stopped yesterday. Today is the coldest yet. Although you have been taking good care of yourself for several days and your complexion has improved, the damage you've sustained can't be healed in just a few days. So from now on, you have to be very careful whenever you go out, to avoid developing any illnesses that will cause you trouble later in life."

"Well, I'll listen to Madam, but I'll have to trouble Madam to do the hard work for me."

"That's all my responsibility, and as long as I can take good care of the young lady, I won't feel tired at all!"

"..."

Li Shu smiled and said nothing more.

If she could change her own fate, she would definitely take good care of Aunt Gui like a daughter and see her to the end of her life.

Nanny Gui then turned around and asked Qinghong Shuangjiang, who was driving the carriage outside, to drive carefully.

After all, they put a charcoal brazier on the carriage today, so nothing can go wrong.

Fortunately, because it was too cold, not many people went out today.

Their carriage traveled smoothly all the way to Peacock Terrace.

But after Li Shu was helped out of the carriage by Nanny Gui, she saw at a glance several people she least wanted to see.

Li Yunzhi and his sons, five of them, and Ning Jin!

Li Shu subconsciously frowned slightly.

They are not the kind of people who like to watch plays or listen to music, so why would they come here?

And they came so neatly?

Looking at them, it seemed as if they had seen her carriage from afar and were waiting for her.

But she never expected that Li Shen would be so furious, immediately raising his voice and questioning her, "You just had a miscarriage a few days ago, and instead of staying at home to recuperate, you came here in the freezing weather. That drama must have something to do with you, right?"

play?

Li Shu raised her eyebrows.

So the Grand Princess invited her to meet here because there was a very interesting play in the Peacock Terrace?

But why didn't Lin Yuan say a single word to her?

However, she was able to get all five of them to come, and Li Shen even started barking at her as soon as they met...

I’m afraid it has something to do with Xie Yu?

Thinking of this, she noticed that many people around them were looking around curiously because of Li Shen's shout. After getting off the carriage, she bowed to Li Yunzhi and said, "Greetings, General Li."

Li Yunzhi's brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

Li Shen became even more furious upon seeing this. "Li Shu! How long are you going to continue this drama of severing ties with us? And I'm asking you a question!"

Li Shu didn't even bother looking at him. She simply raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at Li Yunzhi, "General Li, please understand. I'm here today at the invitation of the Grand Princess to watch a play. I don't even know what it is, so I don't understand what your son is saying. Could you please tell him to shut up? To shout like this in public, and to make baseless accusations, is really having a bad impact."

"Li..."

"enough!"

Li Yunzhi interrupted Li Shen and said to Li Shu with a frown, "Since the Grand Princess invited you, I'll go with you to see her. I'm also planning to visit her in the next two days."

Having said that, in fact he had already been to the Grand Princess's Mansion.

Just got turned away!

In response to his words, Li Shu simply said, "General, please do as you please."

She thought that if the Grand Princess didn't want to see him, it would be useless for him to go with her.

On the other hand, if the Grand Princess wanted to see him, she had no right to stop her.

As soon as they entered the Peacock Terrace, people started whispering.

"Then Third Young Master Li said that Lady Ning was just pretending to sever ties with them, but judging by the way Lady Ning treated them, it seemed like she really wanted to sever ties with them."

"I think so too! And this is more reasonable! After all, they used to cherish Lady Ning so much, but now they are yelling at her in the street, and even treating Miss Xie, who stole Lady Ning's husband, as their precious child. Even if Lady Ning is a clay figurine, she should have some temper, right?"

"Alas! You said Miss Xie isn't that good-looking, and she's a sickly woman who faints at the slightest provocation. How could General Li, Prince Ning, and the others treat her so unconditionally, like they've lost their minds?"

"I think she's a fox spirit in disguise! That's why she can bewitch people!"

"Where in the world do vixens come from? And even if there are vixens, they can't look like Miss Xie, right?"

"That's right. Looking at Miss Xie's appearance, even a vixen would feel humiliated if she was called a vixen!"

"..."

Lin Yuan, dressed in black, hid in the crowd and listened for a long time. When the people around him turned their heads to look at him, he quickly slipped into the Peacock Terrace.

From a distance, he could even hear the person watching him exclaim, "That young man is so handsome! I wonder which family he is from who rarely goes out!"

As soon as Li Shu entered the Peacock Terrace, someone walked towards her.

Before the person came closer, Li Yunzhi and the others had already bowed and greeted her, "Aunt Yaofang."

After the visitor stopped, he simply smiled and bowed slightly to them, then turned to Li Shu and said, "Madam Ning, please follow me. Our princess has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Thank you for leading the way, auntie."

After Li Shu finished speaking, Yaofang turned and left.

After they followed, Li Yunzhi and others also followed behind.

Li Shu was secretly wondering if Aunt Yaofang hadn't noticed that they were following her.

But when they arrived outside the private room where the Grand Princess was staying, Yaofang invited them in and then said to Li Yunzhi and the others with a smile, "I thought General Li and the others had also booked a private room in this direction, but it turns out you're here to see our princess?"

Li Yunzhi nodded and was about to say, "Thank you, aunt, for passing the message on," when Yaofang spoke again, "It's a bit rude to say this, but our princess has already said that she doesn't want to see the general, so... please don't make things difficult for me, general."

Since she said so, Li Yunzhi had no choice but to give up.

But they did not leave immediately.

Because the private room they booked was indeed in this direction.

After Yaofang entered the private room and closed the door, Li Shen gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sure that drama has something to do with Xiaoshu! She thinks that just because she's hooked up with the Grand Princess, we can't do anything to her!"

Li Yan looked at him unhappily, "Let's not even mention that we don't have any evidence to prove that the play is related to Xiao Shu. Even if it was confirmed, what can you do to her? Beat her to death?"
