The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

Pei Wanling was already in a state of madness at this time. Her eyes were bloodshot and full of affection as she looked at Shi Jinyan's handsome face. This was the face she had been looking at and liking for more than ten years.

She had lived a life of luxury since she was a child. She could get anyone or anything she wanted, except this man. She wanted him but could not get him.

Because she can't get it, she won't let others get it.

What's wrong with this?

When the eldest princess heard Pei Wanling's righteous answer and looked at her face which was distorted by jealousy, she shook her head in disbelief.

"In the past, I thought you were just old and your temperament was unsettled. And because the Queen Mother loved you, I was also tolerant and doting on you. I never thought you would be in such a state of mind."

The eldest princess shook her head in disappointment.

She had no children of her own, so she loved her next generation's children very much. At this moment, her disappointment in Pei Wanling was no less than her own children.

"But you're becoming increasingly ignorant of your own limitations. You even dared to attack the young lady of the General's Mansion. Do you want to put your father in an unjust position? Have you had enough of the good life?"

After disappointment comes helplessness and worry.

"Yan'er, how are the two girls?"

Fortunately, Yan'er discovered it in time. If it had really happened, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Shi Jinyan replied in a deep voice, "They brought their own guards with them, and luckily they managed to escape and bump into the gate of my courtyard, where they were rescued by Chang Geng."

He managed to escape this time, but who knows what he might do next time.

Although he had no contact with the two young ladies, it would be his fault if they were hurt because of him, just like the girls before.

The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief, and when she looked at Pei Wanling again, there was no trace of tenderness in her eyes.

Born in the royal family, one must recognize one's position from a young age. One can be arrogant, but not unscrupulous; one can be noble, but not treated as a worthless person.

"Forget it, I'll do as you say. I'll return to the capital the day after tomorrow morning, and I'll personally speak to the Emperor." The eldest princess waved her hand tiredly, "Come here, send the Seventh Princess back to the courtyard and send someone to guard her. Since she's not sincere, there's no need for her to come out and worship the Buddha again."

Pei Wanling was still unwilling and wanted to refute again, but she saw the old nanny beside the eldest princess coming over and respectfully asked her to leave.

Half-heartedly, she was taken back to the side room. The door was guarded by the eldest princess's men and she could not escape at all.

Chang Geng sent Gu Fanchu and the others to the door of the wing room in the front yard, and then he saw Qiutang rushing over with the old lady and Wang.

Afraid that the old lady would worry, Qiutang originally planned to go to Wang secretly, but Wang was in the Buddhist temple, chanting scriptures with the old lady.

He was also afraid that something might have happened to the young lady, so he finally gritted his teeth and went to the Buddhist temple to tell the two of them what had happened.

After hearing this, the old lady was extremely anxious and immediately asked Wang to help her walk out.

Unexpectedly, I met a person dressed as an old lady at the door. He walked in a hurry with no intention of stopping, and bumped into the old lady head-on.

The old lady was caught off guard and leaned back. Fortunately, Wang and the maid were supporting her from behind, otherwise she would have fallen backwards.

The old woman was quite agile. She just took a few steps back and then stabilized her body.

Before Wang could scold the visitor, the old woman came up enthusiastically, took the old lady's hand and asked a lot of questions, apologizing and checking.

The old lady was anxious at first, but she was entangled for a long time before they broke free and walked quickly to the backyard room.

Just as I reached the door of the wing room, I saw Gu Fanchu and another maid helping the weak Wang Yuyan into the house.

"Chu'er, Yan'er, what...what's going on?"

The old lady stepped forward and asked worriedly, while looking at the strange man standing behind her.

Chang Geng bowed to the old lady and Wang Shi, "Old lady, Madam Gu, I am a servant of Master Shi, and I am here to escort the two young ladies back here on the master's orders."

Gu Fanchu suddenly relaxed upon seeing his family and said to Chang Geng, "Sorry to bother you and Master Shi, we are fine now."

Chang Geng clenched his fists, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

"Grandma, aunt, let's go in and talk first."

Everyone hurriedly helped the two of them in.

After entering the house, Wang Yuyan finally couldn't control her emotions and cried loudly while hugging Wang.

The old lady and Wang's heart tightened. Could something have happened? Could it be...

"Yan'er, stop crying and tell me what happened. I will definitely take care of it for you."

Wang patted her back gently and asked in a soothing voice.

But Wang Yuyan was speechless. She had been holding it in and enduring it just now, not wanting her sister Chu'er to discover her cowardice. But now that she was finally out of danger, she dared to vent all the fear in her heart.

Gu Fanchu knew that no matter who encountered what happened today, it would be difficult to accept it, and Wang Yuyan had been holding it in all this time, so it was good for her to vent now.

"Chu'er, tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing that Wang Yuyan was just crying and couldn't explain why, the old lady asked Gu Fanchu who was standing next to her.

Gu Fanchu was silent for a moment. She didn't intend to hide it from her grandmother, but she didn't need her grandmother to stand up for her. She wanted to pay back all the suffering inflicted on her with her own hands.

"Today, the eldest princess brought the seventh princess to the temple to pray, and Lord Shi was also there. I heard that the seventh princess has admired Lord Shi since she was a child. Last time at the flower viewing banquet, Lord Shi came to the rescue, which caused the seventh princess to misunderstand and wanted to teach me a lesson."

She looked at Wang Yuyan, who was sobbing, with an apologetic look in her eyes and continued, "Because I was close to Sister Yan'er, she had someone take Sister Yan'er away and asked the maidservant next to Sister Yan'er to lead me over.

When I went over there, Sister Yan'er had already been drugged. I was a little alert, so I took an antidote pill in advance and gave my sister the medicine. When I was about to take her away, a man came in.

I asked Amber to knock the man unconscious and tried to leave, but we ran into several powerful men in black who forced us to run in another direction, seemingly determined to catch us. Then we met Master Shi, who saved us.

The old lady hadn't expected something so thrilling to happen so quickly. She slammed the table in anger and stood up. "How dare she... how dare she drug you! Does she think my general's mansion is easy to bully?"

Gu Fanchu quickly went forward to support his grandmother. He felt her hands trembling slightly, thinking she was furious. He quickly comforted her, "Grandma, it's okay. She didn't do anything to us."

Wang was also very angry.

Their family were all ministers valued by the Emperor, loyal to His Majesty and working hard for the country, yet their children were treated like this. She remembered Gu Fanchu saying Wang Yuyan was poisoned, and hurriedly asked worriedly, "Yan'er, are you feeling unwell? Go and get a doctor."
