She had never been so quick and harsh with her words before, and if it was any other time, Xi Yue would definitely not be convinced. It was just that two slaps were thrown on her face today, and no matter how unconvinced she was, she could only continue to hold back.

He bowed towards Wu Niang and didn't forget to fiercely sweep Xi Ping a glance when he left. The maid was shocked by her gaze and shivered on the spot, then hurriedly rushed to the kitchen.

Wu Niang said angrily: "You don't even put me in your eyes anymore, right? In the end, who has the final say in this house?"

The two maidservants immediately apologized. Xi Yue left quickly while waiting upon her unpredictable master, shivering from head to toe.

Wu Niang did not immediately wash her face, but spoke while thinking, "You go, go to the Second or Second Lane and call my brother over."

Because of his child, even if he made concessions, it would still only be to let Wu Niang stay here. As for the Mehanlin and tofu hyacinth, he didn't even want to see them, let alone settle them.

The people living in the two or three alleyways were all ordinary citizens, so the location wasn't considered good. Since the price wasn't expensive, the two of them arranged for three tile-roofed houses to stay for the time being.

They were waiting for Wu Niang to give birth to her child, and for their entire family to follow him.

Xi Ping was a little hesitant and fearful after hearing this. "Miss, the Crown Prince said he isn't willing .."

"Yes, he doesn't want to see my brother come over. What, can't I miss home, miss my family?"

How would Xi Ping dare to argue with her? It was just that she was naturally not very quick-witted and was used to Xi Yue bullying her. She didn't have an idea and everything was up to Wu Niang.

After Wu Niang explained to her for a long time about how to sneak in with Mehanlin, the maid still had a face full of fear.

Wu Niang thought that it was not really a solution, so she asked the maid to prepare a pen and paper and wrote a letter for Xi Ping to send to her brother.

Delivering the message was much easier than bringing someone in. The maid hurriedly agreed.

Xi Yue knew that Wu Niang must have something to tell him after she was sent out.

When she came out of the kitchen, she was not in a hurry to go back. After encountering the maid s in the courtyard, she was in a sorry state and had to be ridiculed. After getting taught a lesson in the morning, she knew to restrain herself and left after a few words.

She couldn't help complaining in her heart. Why didn't she want to separate the women around the Crown Prince? Although this courtyard was big, it was better to live in it than to see the opposite side of it.

If Wu Niang could stay alone in this courtyard, she would be the Grand maidservant in this courtyard. At that time, wouldn't the old lady in the courtyard just listen to her orders?

She slowly walked to the door of Wu Niang's room, only to see the door of the study room open, and two men coming out one after the other.

Chang Le, who was standing guard at the entrance of the study room, quickly followed along.

The person walking in front was dressed in a purple robe and a purple gold crown on his head. It was the crown prince, Xiao Zongxian.

He was also the man that all the women in the courtyard were fighting over.

Xi Yue watched in a daze. In fact, even if the Crown Prince did not have a Prince Rong's Mansion background, just his appearance alone would be able to enchant quite a few women.

Behind him was a person dressed in black. His ordinary appearance made him look even more outstanding.

Xi Yue foolishly followed the crowd to greet him. Her chest area was extremely hot from being kicked.

Xiao Zongxian recognized that the servant was in Wu Niang's room, and was also the one who was most irritating to others, not counting causing trouble, he was ugly too. He immediately frowned, turned his head in disgust, and walked out of the courtyard.

Xi Yue raised her head and coincidentally met the eyes of the unassuming black clothed man.

The man's eyes were calm, but he had an aura that would make people's hearts cold. She hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at him again.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of footsteps walking further and further away.

Turning around, he saw that the door had been opened from the inside. As if Xi Yue was a thief, he looked around and walked out.

When Xi Yue saw this maid, she began to tremble majestically. She hugged her arms and looked at the other party, then turned her head to look at the tightly shut door and looked at her again.

Big Sister Xi Yue was the same as the other girls in the room, they were all very scary. It was just that the girls in the room had their own freedom of life and death in their hands, which made Xi Ping even more afraid.

Xi Yue stood there, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She only felt that his face had been ruined this time, and she was still indignant about it, but she still walked over to open the door, bent down, and waited on Wu Niang.

"Has the Crown Prince left the study?"

Wu Niang had already washed her face, but she did not let go of the worry that had been plaguing her heart.

Xi Yue nodded in agreement.

Wu Niang muttered: "That Jiang fellow also left together with us?"

Xi Yue nodded again.

"What exactly did they say?"

This time, Xi Yue was unable to answer him, how would she know what she had said? She did not go to listen to her words, nor did she dare to listen.

Xi Yue felt that this master of her had truly gone mad today. Not to mention the matter of him hitting her for no reason previously, what was he doing now, and why was he so concerned about what the Crown Prince and Mr. Jiang had said?

"You can't know either, you useless thing, what do you know?"

Wu Niang answered her own question, making Xi Yue feel even more embarrassed. This was the first time she was hoping that the women in the courtyard would speak the truth.

He hoped that the child in Wu Niang's stomach would not be born.

From the yard came the voices of the two girls next door.

"A sweet, delicate voice." Wu Niang rolled her eyes and mumbled, "Tell me, why do you think the wangfei wouldn't let the women in the courtyard live separately? What was even more infuriating was that these girls were clearly not as beautiful as she was, but they did not have a stomach like hers that could strive for power. Just by relying on their status, they could share their beauty with her.

Xi Yue thought for a while, then said: "This servant roughly knows what's going on, and only vaguely heard it at the time, I don't know if it's true or not."

"What is it?"

Wu Niang was still concerned about Jiang Ting, so she was not really concerned about what Xi Yue had said.

However, the more he thought about it, the more astonished he became.

Her name was Qingxi, and her family background was pretty good. Her father was a seventh rank county student, and not only was that girl born well, she was also proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and her dancing skills were outstanding. The prince especially likes her, and has already consulted with the wangfei and the prince to make her his concubine.

With his concubine here, under his wife, if Xiao Zongxian were to inherit the throne in the future, he might even become the secondary wife of the Duke Palace.

Wu Niang's face revealed a look of hatred, "I'm pregnant, and even now I don't have a rank."

"Miss, you don't know the second half of the story. Tell me, which one of us is famous? Before you came, there was more than one girl in the yard. " Xi Yue advised her to remain calm.

The more Wu Niang listened, the angrier she got. What she hated the most were the words of others that were pampered.

Now that he thought about it, he might as well live a life of ease in the Tongzhou. At that time, he wouldn't need to fight with others for favors, and he would be able to live a life of ease in that house by himself.

Why did she have to come to the capital? It was all because of that idiot Zheng Tong, who couldn't control the women in her family, causing trouble all over the city, causing her to be unable to stay in the Tongzhou. If not, she would still be living her carefree life there.

However, although the days were carefree and unfettered, it did not have a reputation as pleasant as that of a "Prince's Mansion person" in the end, and it caused people to feel reverence towards it.

Wu Niang's heart swayed, for a moment she felt that what she did in Beijing was the right decision, and for a moment she felt that what she had done was not worth it.

She repeatedly pondered for a long time before she remembered that Xi Yue had not finished speaking. Finally, she threw a glance at her and signaled her to continue.

"Speaking of which, it's quite strange. The wangfei originally agreed to this matter. She even discussed with the prince whether or not to give Lady Qingxi a greater dignity, and discussed on how to elevate her father's position."

The King Rong had controlled the imperial government for many years, so no matter how many officials the imperial government officials promoted, they would all follow his lead.

The woman that the Prince Rong liked wanted to give her some dignity, and it was originally a very normal thing, because beauty is the natural thing, even if he was established as his concubine, there was nothing to say, but then one day, he suddenly said that this Lady Qingxi had done something wrong and was actually dealt with by his imperial concubine. The people who had been attending to her in the courtyard had all disappeared, and the entire Duke Palace had been sealed from the mouth, so Lady Qingxi became a taboo in the Duke's Palace, so there was no need to say anymore.

During that time, the Crown Prince seemed to have gone mad. As long as he heard those two words, even if it was just a voice, he would still lose his temper.

At that time, the crown prince was still young, and the women in the courtyard had yet to gather. Later on, more and more women were raised, but no one brought up the matter of the branch court anymore.

Over time, this became an unspoken rule within the Prince Rong's Mansion. All the women in Xiao Zongxian's courtyard could only live in this courtyard, even if this courtyard was extremely spacious, the number of women in the courtyard would still not increase.

But even if they did not stop for a moment, none of the masters in the Prince Rong's Mansion brought up the matter of separating these women.

"So, what kind of mistake did that extremely favored Lady Qingxi make that caused her to be so tired that she lost her life?"

"How is it that she lost her life? I heard that her father was found out to be a greedy person, and his imperial report was sent to the heavens. He immediately seized the official and looted the house. He even asked about the execution at the entrance of the marketplace."

Wu Niang took in a deep breath of cold air, and touched her own neck and stomach uncomfortably. If the truth were to be revealed to him in the future, what would Jiang Ting and Wu Niang have to say about this child?

Wu Niang stood up with a "whoosh", shocking Xi Yue so much that she immediately took a step back.

"Miss?"

"Xi Yue, that Miss Qingxi, how did she do it?"
