Chapter 329: Accident

Marrying a prince of the Meng clan is to marry a marriage. The man with a poor land in the Meng clan is fierce and the woman has a low status. It would be really miserable to marry her, especially the favored daughter of the royal family like Prince Xiuwen. Prince Guo and Li looked at each other and showed sympathy at the same time. However, due to Princess Xiangshan, she dared not show it too obviously.

Li was older and came to his senses and said, "It turns out that County Lord Xiuwen is about to marry the princess's younger brother, congratulations."

Princess Xiangshan smiled and said, "There is no formal order yet, so I hope you don't say it out."

"We must not say it." The prince and princess nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.

Su Yiqing picked up the teacup and took a sip. She was inconvenient to express her opinions on this matter. She had a holiday with County Lord Xiuwen. At this time, she said congratulations. Others would only say that she was gloating. But there was a little bit she was confused. Since there was no formal order yet, why did Princess Xiangshan reveal in front of unfamiliar people that she didn't look like a person who could say something.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a woman screaming from outside. The voice was too desolate. Li and Prince Guo quickly got up and looked out, as if they were from the noble girls outside.

Here, Li is the oldest and an elder. When she saw something happening outside, she couldn't sit still and hurriedly said, "I'll go and see, Princess, you can sit down first, I'll go and come back."

As he said that, Li took his maid and mother away in a hurry.

There was constant laughter and laughter outside. Su Yiqing also stood up and looked out from above. She vaguely saw the group of noble girls surrounding a lavender figure who fell to the ground. She remembered that County Lord Xiuwen was wearing purple clothes and the sound was very similar.

Because he didn't know what happened there, Prince Guo's Princess looked anxious and everyone was in a state of joking, so he could only sit down. Fortunately, Li's personal maid rushed over and said, "Report to Princess Princess, Princess Xiuwen was injured. Mrs. Li took her to see the doctor and ordered her to say sorry to the princess and the princess."

Su Yiqing asked: "Is County Lord Xiuwen seriously injured?"

Princess Xiangshan said, "It's so pitiful, why did you get hurt?"

"I don't know, but County Lord Xiuwen seems to be in pain." The maid said that it was equivalent to not saying anything. County Lord Xiuwen screamed so shrillly that everyone heard it. How could it not be in pain?

When this happened, who had the intention to sit there and have a tea and chat? Su Yiqing only felt that the timing of County Lord Xiuwen's injury was really a coincidence. She didn't want to be involved in this matter, so she suggested going back to the flower hall first.

Princess Xiangshan had no objection. Prince Guo could not even object.

The group walked towards the flower hall together.

When I was about to arrive at the flower hall, I met a simple-dressed young woman and a few maids coming from another road. When I saw them, I suddenly turned to another place, lowered my head and thought that I was deliberately avoiding them.

Princess Xiangshan couldn't help but say, "Whose wife is this?"

Prince Guo said unnaturally: "This is Mrs. Shao, who is a bit weird. She has never likes to interact with people... Princess, please walk slowly, be careful of your feet. There are many stones on this road."

Prince Guo obviously did not want to mention General Shao's wife. Princess Xiangshan is so clear-headed, and naturally he would not ask.

Su Yiqing has been silent and looking thoughtful, as if she was still a little frightened. Perhaps she was scared by the shrill shouts of County Lord Xiuwen.

The Prince of Guo County Princess couldn't help but sigh secretly. A good birthday party, this kind of thing happened, which was half of it. No matter why the County Lord Xiuwen fell and was injured, it was always an accident in their mansion. They were to blame. When they spread it, everyone would say that it was their Prince of Guo County who was not well-received.

When she returned to the flower hall, the atmosphere was indeed not right. The ladies were whispering, and Su Yiqing took the opportunity to say goodbye. The surroundings were in chaos. Old Concubine Xue did not try to keep her anymore, but only asked Prince Guo to send her out.

When he got outside, the servant outside the mansion said that Prince Ding had already taken the lead if he had something to do.

Su Yiqing got on the carriage and returned to the mansion. When she heard from the maid report, she said that the prince had gone to see Miss Ning. She sighed softly. It was God's will. Every time she encountered something and wanted to tell him, she would always be interrupted, and she would not want to say it afterwards.

Thinking of the person she met accidentally today, her somewhat familiar face, she felt a little uneasy. Thinking of the information about the noble ladies collected by Green Vine before, she felt that it was not like a coincidence.

...

In the palace of Prince Guo County.

Old Concubine Xue lay tiredly on the soft couch, asking the maid to gently hammer her legs. She closed her eyes and rested.

The Princess of Guo County, Princess of Guo County, and the daughter of Li and Princess of Guo County Lewen were all served by her.

After a stick of incense, an old woman came to report, "The old concubine, the old slave found out that the diagnosis of the two imperial doctors was the same as that of our doctor in the palace. The upper part of the leg of the county lord Xiuwen was very serious, and the leg bone was broken. He had to be bedridden for several months and could not move. Even if he was fine, whether the movement in the future would be hindered depends on the bone healing."

"What a pitiful, a good child..." Old Concubine Xue sighed and ordered Princess Guo, "Send more medicinal materials and supplements. No matter what, people are doing in our mansion. We are not taking good care of each other, so go and apologize."

"Grandmother, Xiuwen was injured by herself. She is not a three-year-old child. What does this have to do with our mansion? On the contrary, she accidentally made her grandmother's 60th birthday and ended. "Xiuwen, who is only thirteen years old, looked dissatisfied. "As soon as she apologizes, people will think it is our fault."

"Lewen, you've been tired all day long, so you'd better go down and rest first. You won't help the lady down." Seeing her daughter say such stupid words, Princess Guo hurriedly ordered the maid to pull her daughter away.

"The child is still young, just teach him slowly." Old Concubine Xue has always known how to deal with interpersonal relationships. She will never say anything to her children in front of her. She turned to Li and said, "Niece-in-law, you should go back and rest first."

"Auntie, the niece-in-law has surrendered." Li bowed and left with his personal maid.

"You guys should also step back." Old Concubine Xue said to the little maid who beat her legs again.

The maids and mothers around the old concubine Xue retreated, and the princesses around the princess of Guo County naturally retreated with great glimpses.

"Mother-in-law, it's all the daughter-in-law who was too negligent to make such a thing happen to your 60th birthday." Princess Guo apologized again, feeling depressed. Before this, Old Concubine Xue had mentioned many times that the 60th birthday did not need to be held. The whole family just needs to have a meal together, and at most a few old sisters would be invited to listen to the opera. She insisted on doing it. Old Concubine Xue was not the biological mother of Prince Guo. If they didn't do it, their couple would be stabbed.

I really didn't expect such a thing to happen. Princess Guo sighed. Others envy her mother-in-law for being kind and serving her, but no one knows her inner suffering. It is because her mother-in-law has a good reputation. She must be very attentive when serving her. Otherwise, if there is any negligence, let alone outsiders, her husband will jump out and criticize her. Others' daughter-in-law is forced to set rules by the evil mother-in-law, and she has to drive her up. People are not happy to let her follow her all night.

Prince Guo stood aside with her head down, not daring to speak, and the atmosphere was wrong. She dared not speak too much, but even so, she still couldn't avoid it.

The old concubine Xue looked at her and asked, "Sunny's wife, today you accompanied Princess Xiangshan to visit the garden. What did she say? When she heard something happened, you and your aunt were in the Mid-Sean Pavilion to entertain Princess Xiangshan and Princess Ding, what did they talk about?"

"I didn't talk about anything special, I just went around the garden. Princess Xiangshan said that our garden was exquisitely built. She asked who designed it. The Sixth Prince's Mansion was newly built, and many places were not well repaired." Prince Guo said, "As for Princess Ding, we met halfway through and didn't say anything."

Princess Guo remembered something and asked hurriedly: "You can look far from the Banshan Pavilion. Since you are tasting tea on Banshan Pavilion, do you see anything? Have you seen how Princess Xiuwen fell and injured?"

"No." Prince Guo's Princess replied with certainty, "My wife remembers it very clearly. We were all sitting at that time. We only got up and looked outside after hearing the screams. It was absolutely impossible to see anything."

"You are sitting, aren't the maids and mothers beside you? Have they seen anything? Have you ever asked carefully?" Prince Guo continued to ask.

"This... hasn't been done yet." Prince Guo's princess looked like he did something wrong.

"At that time, so many noble girls and maids looked nearby and couldn't see anything. Even if someone in the Mid-Shan Pavilion accidentally looked over, they couldn't see anything. There was no need to ask." Old Concubine Xue waved her hand and said to Prince Guo, "Think carefully, what did Princess Xiangshan tell you, and everything related to people can do, and what did Princess Ding say? Say whatever you can remember."

Prince Guo Prince Guo thought hard, "I really just go shopping in the garden. If you want to say it is related to people, it means that the lady looks so kind and reminds her of her grandmother. The birthday banquet is lively. When she arrives at the garden, she also said that the garden is elegant and the flowers bloom well near the Four Seasons Pavilion. It is rare that there are many developed flowers in late autumn. I asked about the varieties of these words, how to plant them, etc. I said that it was planted by my mother-in-law, and she said that she would ask her mother-in-law for advice on such things another day, and she didn't mention others. As for Princess Ding, she was accompanied by her aunt before, and she didn't seem to say anything."

"I can't talk about flowers and plants? Princess Xiangshan met Princess Ding and sat down to have a tea together. It's impossible not to find a topic." Old Concubine Xue was a little disbelieved.

"It's really nothing. Princess Xiangshan seemed to praise Princess Ding for being good at tea ceremony. Princess Ding said a few words of modestness, which is very common." Princess Guo tried hard to recall.

"This is the personality of Princess Xiangshan. She is keen on making friends with noble ladies and is very good at talking." Princess Guo County was embarrassed when she saw her wife a little embarrassed and couldn't help but speak for her.

"Maybe, since there is nothing special, then you all go back and rest." Old Concubine Xue was really exhausted. When Princess Guo County and Princess were about to retreat, she sighed unintentionally, "It's a pity that County Lord Xiuwen, something happened at this moment, and the marriage was going to be difficult."

At this time, Prince Guo's Princess suddenly stopped and said, "Grandmother, I remembered it. Princess Xiangshan finally seemed to say, County Lord Xiuwen is lively and has a good match with her thirteenth brother."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Princess Guo was shocked. This daughter-in-law was so confused. She wasted her long time in temptation. She said a lot of things in a mess, but the most important thing was not said.

Prince Guo was very aggrieved, "The Princess Xiangshan specifically advised her that she had no formal order yet. She accidentally let her not say anything."

"Of course there is no need to say anything. Now that big thing has happened, how can you not say it to your elders? Do you understand it? "The Princess Guo County couldn't help but scold him.

"Okay, young man, I was scared to death for a moment. Some people can't remember it. Grandmaster, please go down first." Old Concubine Xue said kindly to Prince Guo. "You go back to your room to rest first."

The princess of Guo County Prince did not dare to move, but only looked at the princess of Guo County.

"Go." Princess Guo County said angrily.

The princess then bowed and bowed and said he was leaving.

After Prince Guo went out, Old Concubine Xue sighed softly.

Princess Guo County was even more angry. With such a virgin mother-in-law, she had a hard time living. Thinking that she was young, she had herself and Concubine Xue in the mansion. There was no need to find a daughter-in-law who was too smart and clever to make her angry, so she chose a cute and innocent person. As a result, she found out that it was better to find a smart person, at least she would have to clean up the mess after she didn't have to be angry. When she first chose a daughter-in-law, she asked the old concubine Xue's opinion. Concubine Xue just hinted slightly that the whole family's wife had a heavy burden on her shoulders. She wanted to choose a capable one, but Concubine Xue was like this. If she didn't like to talk thoroughly, she pretended to be confused and decided to be the current prince's concubine first. As a result, after entering the mansion, having a daughter-in-law means not having a daughter-in-law, and she can't help at all. She has no place to complain about the one she has to take on.

The old concubine Xue closed her eyes half closed, as if she was thinking, and after a long time, she asked, "What are you thinking?"

"My wife was wondering if County Lord Xiuwen was going to be accused of being a prince of the Meng clan, she might be named a princess. Now that she fell and injured in our mansion, will the palace blame him?" Princess Guo hesitated, "Do you go and ask for a crime with the palace?"

"Are you just worried about this?" Old Concubine Xue opened her eyes.

"This priest blames is very important, so it is of course important. Others can be put aside for the time being." Princess Guo really felt that compared to the priest's thunder wrath, the rest were all insignificant details.

"I'm not worried about this." Old Concubine Xue frowned slightly, "Not to mention that there is no explicit order to betroth the Prince of Xiuwen to the Feng Clan, even if there is an explicit order, the group of people will see that Xiuwen is running around and jumping around when someone is attending a banquet in other people's house, and they don't know the etiquette, what does it have to do with our family? Unless someone in our mansion pushes her."

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, there is absolutely nothing." Princess Guo County hurriedly assured, "I asked very clearly. At that time, Lewen was instructed by County Lord Xiuwen to go to the ice cellar to get ice fruits. Linlin, two teenagers, who could not escape from the group of County Lord Xiuwen. They were far away when something happened, and the maids and mothers in the mansion were just serving each other, without any suspicion."

This really made Princess Guo very grateful. Her daughter and County Lord Xiuwen have always been inconsistent with each other. County Lord Xiuwen relied on her title to suppress her daughter. Every time a noble girl gathers, she often makes her angry. Her daughter is a little afraid of her and stays away from her when she has the chance. She has also complained that her daughter is not good and is suppressed by a concubine.

The old concubine Xue nodded: "Have you ever thought about it? County Lord Xiuwen was injured and his injuries were so serious. The matter of betrothing to the prince of the Meng clan is probably to be given up. The palace must choose another lady from a famous family to betrothing to the prince of the Meng clan. Who do you think the next one will be?"

"How can this daughter-in-law know?" Princess Guo shook her head. There are many noble women of the right age in the royal family, and there are too many people who can be accused of getting married. In addition, sometimes the ministers in the court will consider having an outstanding daughter. By the way, I heard that County Lord Xiuwen has a slightly younger half-sister, Yayun. He has always been unpopular with his maids and concubines. No one takes it seriously. If something happens to his sister, it is possible for his sister to take over.

"Have you ever thought about your own daughter?" Old Concubine Xue slowly threw out a sentence that made Princess Guo County frightened.

"Mother-in-law, this... this is absolutely impossible. Our Le Wen is only thirteen years old." Princess Guo's face turned pale. She was also a smart person. After the reminder of the old concubine Xue, she immediately thought that her daughter was thirteen years old this year. The memorial for asking the title of the county lord a few years ago was refuted, saying that the girl was still young and was still the last emperor. In recent years, her husband's serious work has been appreciated by the emperor. The couple had only one son and one daughter. After visiting the palace, they said that if they had great achievements, they could be named a princess for their daughter.

The county lord is one level different from the county lord and the princess is very different. The princess can open a mansion alone, but the county lord does not. They are naturally moved and think that their daughter is still young, so they will have a chance to make great contributions if they try more.

The couple had only one son and one daughter. There was an old prince in the royal family, and the most were more than thirty children. If they wanted to marry, they were naturally those daughters, so it was not her turn to Lewen.

But that was normal. Now that County Lord Xiuwen fell and injured in their mansion, they were more or less responsible. At this time, someone would ask for it, and it would not be impossible to let her daughter take the lead.

Old Concubine Xue sighed, "Actually, I had heard the wind earlier, saying that the palace intended to betroth the county lord Xiuwen to the prince of the Meng clan. After thinking about it, there is nothing suitable for the princess of the royal family in the court. First of all, she was awarded the title of county lord in her early years, not for the purpose of betrothal, and she was temporarily recruited to give a lady with a low status. She was awarded one or two levels and even the princess was easier to explain to the Meng clan. Secondly, she was a concubine, and her mother would not work hard for her, but she was afraid she would still follow her.

As for her father, men are crueler than women in many major events. Besides, men are not as convenient for women in such matters... In short, it has nothing to do with our family, and I don’t care much. But now that this kind of thing happens, I have been thinking that it’s not easy to find someone more suitable than County Lord Xiuwen. Princess Xiangshan already knows that at this time, it’s enough to be better than Xiuwen in all aspects. It’s hard to say anything else. The identity must be higher than Xiuwen, and there are not many suitable ones."

"What should I do?" Princess Guo County became even more panicked.

Old Concubine Xue pondered for a long time, "You don't have to worry too much. Maybe this is just my guess, maybe things are not that bad."

"But what if..." Princess Guo was really afraid, and then thought, "It's better for us to get engaged to Lewen as soon as possible. If there is a suitable marriage, it will be fine."

"Do you have the right person? Too hasty will probably ruin your child's life. After all, what we said before was speculation, and it may not be like that." Old Concubine Xue said, holding her forehead, "It's late tonight, I'll ask for it tomorrow."

The Princess of Guo County did not dare to disturb the old concubine Xue for a long time, so she went back to her room to discuss with her nanny.

The Hu family at this time.

When Mr. Hu heard the maid's report, he was furious and wanted to call Mrs. Hu to scold her, but he remembered Mrs. Hu's expression that was not afraid of boiling water.

This woman had a daughter who had died, and the rest was her lifeblood. She had to fight with him as soon as she moved. The two brothers were already complaining secretly that the sister-in-law became more and more crazy. For the sake of her daughter's interests, she tried every means to tell her daughter not to tell her about her relatives. When she heard that there were some outstanding young people among the sister-in-law's relatives, she forced them to help her say she was kinship.

Brothers all say that others don’t know much about the situation, but their own family knows it. On weekdays, people outside praise Miss Hu, but they are embarrassed to agree. It’s because Miss Hu’s behavior is really too outrageous. She looks dignified and virtuous on the surface, but she is actually full of bad things.

Isn’t it equivalent to offending people if I want to introduce them to their relatives and friends? Later I found out that Miss Hu is such a person, and asked them to look up in front of relatives and friends.

The sisters-in-law even said that they would give their sister-in-law a try and ask for money and goods, but it would never be possible to ask them to betray their parents' family members. It was very ugly and they would just be considered a beast.

In this case, it is very difficult to tell Miss Hu about a marriage of a good match. According to what he said, he would give her a rich dowry and marry her low, but the daughter was unhappy and encouraged her mother to help her almost crazy, which was embarrassing.

The Hu family made it happen, and several sisters-in-law complained that there were already many rumors outside. At the forefront, the birthday party of the Old Concubine Xue from the Prince of Guo County was just asking Mrs. Hu to give her a birthday gift. He was a civil servant and should not have had too much contact with these nobles, but Mrs. Hu agreed, but he disobeyed and secretly took his daughter to the banquet.

Ever since he learned the news, his heart has been holding on, fearing that something might happen at the birthday party.
