Chapter 126: It's no use talking about the good chapter
The old butler was a little excited. He took the small jade bottle with trembling hands and rubbed it in his hands.
The old princess was already dying, but after being treated by Madam Cui, she came back to life. Naturally, he believed in Madam Cui's identity without a doubt.
In addition, everyone in Princess Ning's courtyard was going crazy early in the morning, saying that Mother Qiu had only followed Miss Xu out to help a little, and she got that great opportunity. After taking a pill, although she had to go to the toilet for most of the night, when she looked today, she looked like she had become ten years younger.
The old butler didn't really think about getting younger or anything, but when he was early on and following his old master out there, he had suffered many injuries and had barely managed to save his life several times. Although he was still alive now, he was in constant pain all day long.
Since the other party was generous enough to give him the medicine, the old housekeeper had no reason to hesitate. He immediately poured the round pill into his palm and put it into his mouth, chewing it twice like candy beans.
Seeing that the old housekeeper trusted him so much, Xu Qinghe sighed in his heart. This time after escaping from Xujia Village, his life had completely changed. The person he needed to thank the most was the kind old man in front of him.
Anyway, no matter what the reason was, he saved their lives. Cui and Yuxiu also said that after they moved to their own house, they would find time to invite the man over and thank him properly.
The two were talking here, but they didn't know that there was a commotion in Manfu Hall again.
"Wuwuwu...Aunt, how can you be so cruel? My father and mother are the third master and third lady of Prince Ning's Mansion after all. You don't even give them the slightest bit of face. If this gets out, I don't know what people outside will say..."
A little girl in a pink dress was holding a handkerchief in her hand. She was wiping her tears aggrievedly and looking at Princess Ning with a reproachful look.
She is Xu Letie, the daughter of Xu Jinran and Qin. Some time ago, she went to her maternal grandparents' home to visit her grandmother with her younger brother Xu Yunxuan. They just stayed at the farm with their grandmother for a few days. After they came back, they found that their parents were locked in the yard, and they were not even allowed to go in to see them.
Actually, it is not impossible. The old women guarding the gate have said before that the brother and sister can go in if they want, but they cannot come out after entering. They have to be locked in the yard with the third master and the third mistress.
Xu Yunxuan, who was only five years old, didn't know the pros and cons of it, and immediately clamored to agree. But how could Xu Letie, who was already fourteen, agree to such a thing? She ignored Xu Yunxuan's crying and grabbed his arm and ran outside.
You have to know that they did not come back by themselves today, but were sent back personally by her grandmother, Old Lady Qin from the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.
When they ran to the front hall, Old Madam Qin was sitting there leisurely drinking tea. When she learned that something had happened in the third room, she immediately rushed to the old princess's yard to ask her mother-in-law for an explanation.
The group of old women did not dare to really stop her, so they had to lead the commotion to the courtyard of Manfu Hall, where they were stopped by Princess Ning.
"What are you making so much noise for? Don't you know that you have to keep quiet in the old lady's yard?"
Princess Ning glared at the maids, waved her hand and told them to go back, then glanced at Xu Letie indifferently, ignored her, and nodded to Old Madam Qin, smiling and saying:
"Since the old lady is here, we at Prince Ning's Mansion will naturally entertain her well. As for the rest, it is our Xu family's family affairs, so it is not appropriate to talk about it in front of outsiders."
What this means is that as an outsider, you should not meddle in the affairs of our Prince Ning's Mansion.
"Sister-in-law is right. My aunt-in-law came here today to send the two children back, right? I am really sorry to bother you. Why don't we go to the flower hall first, have some tea and some snacks, and then listen to our detailed explanation?"
The second wife also hurried forward with a smile to help out. The old woman of the Qin family was very unreasonable to begin with, and she treated her only daughter like a treasure in her hands. Now she had to deal with such a thing again today, and she would definitely not give up easily.
"Stop talking about these useless things and let my daughter and son-in-law out first. I want to hear what happened from them. Otherwise, I won't believe anything you say."
Old Madam Qin looked at her with disdain. It was really unfair for her daughter to marry into the Xu family. Not only was her husband a sickly man, but she also had two such strong sisters-in-law above her. Everything had to be controlled by others, and she had never had a single day of relaxation.
But it’s okay now. Although the eldest and the second brother are both capable, one of them has been missing for so long, and it is estimated that he is probably dead already. The other one followed him to the battlefield, and he is most likely in danger.
As for the two little brats from the first wife, she had never taken them seriously.
On the battlefield, where swords are merciless and their fathers are in trouble, not to mention these two little ones who haven't even grown all their hair yet. It's hard to say whether they can come back alive or if they can come back intact.
As for the second child, he is said to be a little nerd and is good for nothing.
Thinking about it this way, in this huge Ning Wang Mansion, her son-in-law is the only adult man left.
If her son-in-law becomes Prince Ning, then her daughter will be the Princess of Ning. From then on, wouldn't the entire Prince Ning's Mansion belong to her daughter?
Thinking of this, Madam Qin's ugly expression recovered a little. She glanced up and down at the Princess Ning and the Second Lady opposite her, who were dressed very luxuriously, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
They are all those who can't stand loneliness. Their own men are out there and their fate is uncertain, but they start to attract other men in the mansion. They have no self-discipline and are bringing disgrace to Prince Ning's mansion.
"You are a junior after all, and I, an old woman, can't talk to you. I'd better invite my elder sister out so that we two old guys can have a good talk..."
The more Old Lady Qin thought about it, the less she took the Ning Wang Consort and the Second Lady seriously. Although the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion was inferior to theirs, they were still relatives and she was indeed their elder, so naturally she began to take advantage of her seniority.
She had been feeling aggrieved for a while these days because she saw the old princess was on the verge of dying. This time she happened to see something like this and she could no longer control the anger in her heart.
Her daughter and son-in-law are under house arrest in their own home. Isn't that bullying?
This is also a blatant slap in the face of the Qin family of Pingnan Marquis Mansion. If they don't give her a reasonable explanation today and compensate her daughter and son-in-law, she will never let it go.
"In that case, please wait here slowly."
No matter how much nice words she said, the other person just stood there in a daze, pretending not to understand anything. Princess Ning was also tired and didn't bother to say anything more. She waved her hand and asked someone to bring a stool over, then ignored everything.
