Soft and crispy waist

Chapter 161 I would rather cut off my own arm than give her up

When *** got off the carriage, it was like a ball of fire entering the mansion. In an instant, the temperature of the entire mansion suddenly rose a lot, and everyone was so hot that they held their breath, lowered their heads and dared not look at each other.

After all, *** has always been a face that does not show his emotions, and the fact that he got so angry shows that the matter is not trivial.

Gu Yizi got off the carriage at the back, his expression still calm, as if he couldn't see the anger of the emperor.

These two looks are strange.

Everyone was curious, but no one dared to ask. Even Wei Qingqing bowed obediently.

Facing this group of beautiful girls, he was unwilling to even glance at any of them. He just glanced at Tao Yurong and Xia Zheng, snorted coldly, and went towards Shengyang Courtyard.

Seeing that he was not going to the banquet, Tao Yurong looked at Gu Yizi who was approaching weakly and anxiously and asked, "Your Highness, are you not going to attend the welcoming banquet?"

"Mother is not feeling well, so please don't let her work too hard."

Feeling Unwell?

The way *** looked just now was that she was several times stronger than Tao Yurong and Wei Qingqing combined. How could she be described as uncomfortable?

If *** doesn't come back home, then I won't attend the welcoming banquet.

But now that she was back home, and had come all the way in her own carriage, if she didn't attend, it would clearly tell everyone else that there was a rift between mother and son.

Although the relationship between *** and Gu Yizi doesn't seem to be close, they have always been harmonious in public. Now it's like this, what exactly happened between mother and son?

Unfortunately, there is no way to know the promise.

Tao Yurong could only nod in agreement.

Gu Yizi was exhausted, so he went back to Shushiju to take a shower and change clothes, while Tao Yurong took the others directly to the banquet venue.

Because there are external guests at the banquet today, the banquet venue is set on both sides of the Luofeng River, with male guests on the right and female guests on the left.

Now that other officials have to be on duty, a dinner is scheduled, but the ladies of each family will arrive one after another after lunch. Tao Yurong, as the mistress, is going to go out to welcome some noble ladies, but because of her poor health, Wei Qingqing, as a concubine, naturally has to follow her.

Xia Zheng's status did not allow her to go and greet the guests, so she directed the arrangements in the courtyard.

Perhaps Tao Yurong was not in good spirits, or perhaps she did it on purpose, there were many mistakes at the banquet. Gu Yizi's return to Beijing this time was different from the past, and today's banquet was also complicated and no mistakes could be made.

Now that the guests were about to arrive, Xia Zheng was so busy that her mouth was dry and she didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

"Cool! Cool! Ah! Ah!" Ruanruan half of her body stuck out of Shuangjiang's hand, pulled Xia Zheng's sleeve and shouted incoherently, pointing outside with her other little hand.

"Be good, Ruanruan. Mommy is busy today, so you can just play here for a while, okay?" Xia Zheng tried to comfort Ruanruan gently while looking at the list she had just received.

"Ah! Fight! Fight!" He pointed outside and shouted softly. Seeing that Xia Zheng didn't look up, he struggled hard.

Although Ruanruan is only eight months old, she eats well, sleeps well, weighs twenty kilograms, and is full of strength. When she struggles, she uses her hands and feet, and Shuangjiang is no match for her at all.

Xia Zheng also knew that she could not be trapped. Ever since this little thing could be led to walk on the ground a few days ago, she had to walk every day, and she had to go to big places. Even on rainy days, she would walk around the corridor several times before she would stop.

There was no other way, so Xia Zheng had to give in and said, "Take her out for a walk, and Shuangxue should come along."

Shuangjiang couldn't bear it anymore, and after hearing Xia Zheng's words, he hurriedly took the little ancestor out.

A maid who was delivering wine secretly looked at the direction where Shuangjiang and his men left. After putting down the wine jug, she quickly walked out with the tray.

By the afternoon, most of the female guests had arrived.

The male guests also started to arrive after their shifts, and the two sides of Luofeng River gradually became lively.

With Tao Yurong and Wei Qingqing there, it wasn't Xia Zheng's turn to greet them, so she took Lin Rongrong and the others to sit down and wait for the food.

"Ruanruan hasn't come back yet?" I relaxed and calculated the time. Ruanruan should have almost finished playing.

"I'll go and take a look. She should be on her way back." Nanny Liang turned around and prepared to go towards the garden, but before she took two steps, she saw a little maid rushing in from the corner door with a panicked look on her face.

The person he was facing was not Xia Zheng, but Tao Yurong, who was surrounded by a group of ladies and chatting and laughing.

"Princess Consort! Something bad has happened! The young lady... the young lady..."

Hearing the word "soft", Xia Zheng immediately rushed forward and asked, "What's wrong, young lady?"

"The young lady...she's been entangled by someone..."

Tangled?

"Who dares to bother the young lady?" Without waiting for Xia Zheng to react, Tao Yurong asked sternly.

The maid shuddered and said in panic, "I didn't know. It was an old man who suddenly jumped out of the bushes and grabbed the young lady's feet. He insisted that she was his granddaughter and that his daughter had been tricked into entering our Duke's Mansion. He said that the young lady looked exactly like his daughter when she was a child, so she must be his daughter's child. He refused to let go no matter what."

"That's nonsense! Just kick him out! Why are you still shouting about reporting?" Tao Yurong was so angry that she kept coughing.

The ladies beside her hurriedly helped her sit down and said, "That's right, what kind of occasion is this today? You can't even do such a small thing, and yet you still come to see the mistress."

The maidservant was so embarrassed that she almost cried, but she couldn't help but say, "We dare not. The Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple is here. Speak...speak...if it's a case, we can't be careless."

Dali Temple Shaoqing!

After hearing this, Xia Zheng understood.

This is Tao Yurong’s plan.

I would rather cut off my own arm than give up her situation.

Lord Gan, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, is Gu Yizi's political enemy. Now that the opportunity has been given to him, he will definitely seize it.

She knew without a second thought that the person who was entangled with Ruanruan was Xia Gang.

"Well... let's go and take a look at the Crown Prince's Consort." The lady beside him suggested in a low voice.

Having offended the Dali Temple, she naturally couldn't just kick him out at will. Tao Yurong had no choice but to stand up again and said to Xia Zheng thoughtfully, "This person might be coming for you. It's better for you not to go."

Xia Zheng shook her head. "Since this man suspects that I am his deceived daughter, then I should go and see him so that he can give up and stop talking nonsense."

As if she had expected Xia Zheng to say so, Tao Yurong nodded without refusing. "That makes sense."

Tao Yurong led them towards the small garden. Wei Qingqing came up from behind, took Xia Zheng's hand, and whispered, "This must be a trap. Are you still going?"

"It doesn't matter whether I go or not."

If she goes, Xia Gang will definitely catch her.

If she doesn't go, this matter won't be easily resolved just because she doesn't go.

It’s better to see with your own eyes what is going on so that you can find a way to deal with it.
