Traveling through time and space

Chapter 181 Uncle Passes Away

"Princess, you are talking nonsense. When I was entering the city, I sprained my leg. The prince was kind enough to let me ride on his horse."

"Miss Wu, you are not self-disciplined and don't let others say anything. This happened in public and everyone in Qingyang saw it. Ge Jinwen saved your life. You must not think of repaying him with your body. Just use silver as a thank you gift. It's a clean way." Gu Yuanyuan smiled and waved her hand.

"Princess, do you like the prince?" These words scared everyone, "And you even like Brother Ge."

"Miss Wu, this princess doesn't like the prince, nor does she like Ge Jinwen. She just thinks it's funny." Gu Yuanyuan stood up.

"Princess, aren't you going to attend the palace banquet tonight?"

"This princess is busy and has already asked for leave from my father. I will be busy at the farm tomorrow and need to prepare first. This princess congratulates His Majesty on his triumphant return. I also invite His Majesty to enjoy the palace banquet tonight," Gu Yuanyuan smiled. Indeed, when she saw him again, there was no ripple in her heart. She had let it go completely, and this was also a happy thing.

"Princess, can I stay and take care of Da Ge?" Doctor Li was a little excited.

"Why do you want to stay? He needs to be turned over every two hours, wiped and massaged, and he needs to drink soup and medicine three times a day. Can you do these rough jobs? Looking at his physical condition, if you continue to take care of him the same way as before, he will develop bedsores in ten days or so. Don't let him sweat, and make sure he wears dry clothes every day."

"Princess, what is a bedsore?" Doctor Li asked curiously.

"Doctor Li, could you give me some time to change clothes and eat something?" Gu Yuanyuan was really hungry.

"Princess, the meal is ready,"

"Everyone, please make yourselves at ease. I'll take my leave now. Please stay away from him. His immunity is very low right now. He will get sick if you're not careful. If you want to get close to him, wash your hands and face. It's best to change your outer clothes as well. Keep it clean, clean, clean."

"The princess doesn't mind. I'll have dinner in the princess's mansion. Liang Shang, ask the kitchen to prepare some food for them. Doctor Li, you stay and take care of Da Ge. Remember to follow the princess's orders."

"Mind you, I'm not entertaining guests today." Gu Yuanyuan said, ignoring them and heading straight to the East Courtyard. "Your Highness, you should go to the palace or return to your own residence. My residence is so simple and plain, how can I entertain you?"

"Princess, I haven't thanked you properly for the books and herbs you gave me last time."

"Don't thank me, my father has already thanked me, and I also agree with him. Printing it out will benefit more people. As a legitimate princess, this is what I should do."

"Princess, Princess, where do all these things come from?"

"I got these things by chance when I was a child. I have forgotten where I got them," Gu Yuanyuan turned to look at Prince De. "Your Highness has asked this question before, right? On the day of my ordeal, I had a long dream. When I woke up, my mind was filled with so many things. Your Highness, are you doubting me? Suspecting that I am a demon?" Gu Yuanyuan looked at Prince De intently. "I am a fairy, a fairy sent by the gods. If Prince De is afraid of Yuanyuan, then Prince De can stay away from Yuanyuan. Far away."

"I am not afraid." These words were spoken crisply.

"Since the prince said this, little Maozi, you take the prince to the dining hall and sit down first. This princess will go to the small kitchen and make a few side dishes myself." They separated at the gate of Yishu Courtyard, and Gu Yuanyuan went to the small kitchen. "Wantong, Wanhe, you two go out." It is impossible to cook now. There are many dishes that were prepared last time in the space. They can just be brought over. Jinyumantang, Candied Yam, Lotus Prawns, Kung Pao Rabbit, Shredded Chicken and Cucumber. Gu Yuanyuan hesitated for half a quarter of an hour and said, "Wantong, Wanhe, bring all these dishes over."

"The princess is such a good cook. She made these dishes in just a short time," Wan Tong and the others were a little excited, but Gu Yuanyuan did not respond.

"Don't wait any longer, all of you go out," Prince De asked Xiao Maozi and Nanny Shang to go out. They didn't move, so Gu Yuanyuan waved her hand and they all went out. "My words are no longer effective."

"Your Highness, this is the Princess's residence," Gu Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. "Your Highness, please enjoy your meal. Don't be polite."

"Princess, I..." Prince De seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Your Highness, please speak frankly if you have something to say," Gu Yuanyuan swallowed, and something was on the tip of her tongue, but thinking about her own personality, she swallowed it back.

"I discovered that the person I thought about the most during this expedition was the princess. I think maybe I have fallen in love with you." He said seriously with a cold face.

This statement was no less than a level 7 bomb. Gu Yuanyuan was so shocked that she spat out the chicken soup she had just drunk in the other person's face. "The prince likes Yuanyuan?" This statement was very suspicious. "But Yuanyuan doesn't like the prince now."

"Why?"

"Yuanyuan has thought about it. Even if Yuanyuan marries the prince, she can only be the Princess of De. The prince will definitely have three wives and four concubines in the future. Yuanyuan will have to compete with other women for a husband, share a husband, and become the mother of children born by other women. It's too tiring to live a life like that. It's too tiring. Such a life is not worth it. Yuanyuan wants to be like the tenth princess and marry a few more men. Wouldn't life be great like that? Yuanyuan is not a traditional woman. She won't live her life by sticking to the rules." Even Gu Yuanyuan herself felt that these words were a bit unorthodox.

"That's what the princess thinks." He said this through gritted teeth. "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"Goodbye, Your Highness. I won't see you off." Gu Yuanyuan didn't even put down her chopsticks, let alone stand up.

"Princess, what happened? Why did the prince leave in anger?"

"It's nothing. Pack these dishes and send them to the Ge brothers and sisters." Gu Yuanyuan also lost her appetite.

"Princess, something's happened." Just as she finished speaking, Chen Honglin hurriedly appeared at the door. "The young master sent someone to report that Master Cai has passed away."

"Which Lord Cai?" Gu Yuanyuan didn't react for a moment.

"Mr. Cai Dewei, please come in." Chen Honglin spoke to the back.

A servant came in and knelt down, "Princess, our master has left."

"When did it happen? How did he die?"

"It was just past noon, and the eldest young master just got home. The three young masters went to see the eldest master together. The third master was there too, so the eldest master left. The house was in a mess, so the eldest master sent me to tell the princess first. I have to leave quickly and go to other houses." The servant said with a bitter face.

"Go ahead." Gu Yuanyuan waved her hand. "Why did this man die suddenly?"

"Princess, things in this world are unpredictable." Nanny Shang sighed deeply.

"Yes, life is unpredictable. We have to prepare everything. According to the etiquette of a legitimate princess, we will go to Cai Mansion later. Nanny Shang, will the death of my uncle delay my second brother's imperial examination?" Gu Yuanyuan suddenly thought of this question.

"No, there's still nearly a month between now and the second young master won't miss the exam. Princess, are you trying to give the eldest young master some face?" Nanny Shang's question spoke to Gu Yuanyuan's thoughts, and she nodded. "Princess, wait a moment. I'll make the arrangements. Dongmei, choose a light-colored dress."

After packing up, he left the mansion. What a big scene! Gu Yuanyuan felt a little embarrassed, but she had to support her elder and second brothers, so she had no choice but to do this. Although she was not very close to Uncle Cai, she was familiar with him. But after all, she left alone and would never come back. Gu Yuanyuan felt a little heavy in her heart. Just as she arrived at the door of Cai's mansion, someone shouted that the legitimate princess had arrived. When Gu Yuanyuan got off the car, there were already many people gathered at the gate of the courtyard. "Greetings, the legitimate princess." Everyone paid their respects.

"Everyone, please stand up. Big brother and second brother, please accept my condolences." Gu Yuanyuan saw his two brothers standing in front of him, dressed in mourning clothes, and a group of people behind his second brother.

"Yuanyuan, you're here," the third uncle and his wife came forward, and the third aunt went straight to Gu Yuanyuan's side, pushed aside Nanny Shang, and reached out to hold Gu Yuanyuan's arm.

"Madam, the place next to the princess is for me." Nanny Shang stood next to Gu Yuanyuan again.

"The princess is our Cai family's niece. As her aunt, why shouldn't I be close to her?"

"If anyone comes close to the princess again, beat them away."

"Little Maozi, be careful with your words," Gu Yuanyuan scolded Xiao Maozi, but her voice was normal. "Brother, when we met this morning, you said that my uncle was fine. How come he's gone in such a short time?" The people from the first house were glaring at the two from the third house. "Brother, this princess will go and pay her respects to my uncle first."

"Princess, please come this way. Uncle San, please don't follow me. You can't be the master of the big house."

"Shao Wu, what do you mean? Your first house has no elders, so naturally we uncles will take charge of things in the first house. Otherwise, if you do something wrong, no one will know, and outsiders will laugh at us Cai family for being rude." He acted like the head of the family. "Your third cousin is now the concubine of the sixth prince, so naturally there will be court officials coming to pay homage. If there is anything that is not done well, the Cai family will be laughed at, no matter which house it is." The third uncle spoke firmly and politely.

"Uncle, Aunt, when we two brothers arrived at Father's room, what did you say to him that made him so agitated? To the point of killing him? The adults in the court came to offer their condolences because of Father. It was out of kindness and righteousness from the adults, and it had nothing to do with the Sixth Prince's concubine.

"Shao Cun, Third Uncle didn't say anything nonsense. Big brother has been in a daze these days," Third Uncle waved his hands hurriedly, trying to shirk responsibility. "Third Uncle just arrived too, but he didn't say anything. Don't put the blame on Third Uncle.

"Brother, since you have a disagreement, why not ask the coroner to come and take a look? This princess also has doubts about how my uncle passed away so suddenly." "Also, brother, you are married and have children, and you understand the ways of the world. Naturally, you can make your own decisions and arrange your own family affairs. It has nothing to do with other families or others."

"Yuanyuan."

"Master Cai San, please call me Princess. I'm not that familiar with you."

"Princess, how can you say that? You are our niece."

"Master Cai San, don't you understand what our princess is saying?" The little Russian stepped forward.

"Brother, take me to burn incense." In a short time, the mourning hall was also considered to be arranged. Gu Yuanyuan was still marveling at their speed. When they arrived at the room where the coffin was parked, Gu Yuanyuan did not kneel down. Looking at all this, she pulled Dongmei forward and said, "No, I can do it myself." She stepped forward to light three incense sticks, bowed respectfully and performed three rituals. After the worship, Gu Yuanyuan did not stay for long. She had to be entertained by others, so she did not want to make trouble here. "Brother, Yuanyuan has gone home first. If you have anything, you can go directly to the farm to find Yuanyuan."

"What's wrong? You're leaving right after you arrived. You're really unfilial. Your uncle devoted himself to you, your mother, and your grandmother, but you just showed up at his funeral?" Someone blocked his way. He had never seen a person who was good at educating others.

"Princess, this is your youngest uncle. He has been away for many years and just returned to the capital recently." The eldest brother introduced.
