Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)
The overturned cart came too quickly, just like a tornado.
An Junwang had been living next door for so long without the backyard catching fire. Now, Gu Jiao just did a little thing for Liu Yisheng and even his husband’s eyebrows ended up burning.
Jing Kong, oh Jing Kong, you really dug a pit for me.
Here, Gu Jiao was pondering how to appease her husband, while on the other side, Xiao Heng was summoned to the palace by Empress Xiao.
"Aunt."
Xiao Heng saluted Empress Xiao.
"There's no one else here, don't be so formal. Come and have a seat." Empress Xiao said to Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng sat beside Empress Xiao as she instructed.
Seeing Xiao Heng's slightly furrowed brow, Empress Xiao asked, "Ah Heng, what's wrong? You seem a little upset. Are you worried about your mother?"
"My mother?" Xiao Heng had been busy at the Ministry of Justice all night and was unaware of Princess Xinyang's situation.
Empress Xiao asked, "You don't know? Your mother fainted at the palace gate yesterday. I asked you to come here to inquire about her condition."
Although she and Princess Xinyang didn't like each other, after all, she was Xiao Heng's mother.
A hint of worry flashed in Xiao Heng's eyes, "I don't know. I was at the Ministry of Justice all day yesterday and didn't go to my mother's side. I'll go and check on her later."
Empress Xiao grabbed his wrist, "Don't worry too much for now. I have something else to tell you."
……
Marquis Xuanping didn't sleep in today.
He got up early and went to Zhuque Street.
Several luxurious carriages were unexpectedly parked in front of Princess Xinyang's mansion.
This was strange because besides Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng, Princess Xinyang rarely had visitors, and these luxurious carriages obviously didn’t belong to the young couple.
The coachman brought down a wheelchair for him, "Lord Marquis."
Marquis Xuanping frowned.
The coachman hurriedly said, "It's Physician Gu's orders. She said if you don't sit, I should inform Lord Xiao."
Marquis Xuanping sat in the wheelchair with a dark expression.
Just as he sat down, there was a commotion inside Princess Xinyang's courtyard.
Soon after, Yu Jin and several servant girls came out carrying large and small bundles.
As Yu Jin walked, she turned back as if speaking to someone, "Kindly take these things back. We appreciate Old Wangfei’s kindness, but we can't accept the gifts."
A plump old nanny surrounded by several servant girls and elderly servants followed suit and stepped forward.
She blocked Yu Jin's attempt to return the gift with her hand and said with a smile, "These are all gifts from Old Wangfei, specially brought from the fief! How can you not accept them?"
Yu Jin smiled politely, "Nanny Gui, we really can't accept them. The princess has just been appointed as regent, and Nanny Gui knows well that the princess must be cautious in her actions and conduct in her current position. She instructed us that no matter who comes to give gifts, we must not accept them."
Nanny Gui glared at her and said, "Can those people be compared to Old Wangfei? Old Wangfei watched the princess grow up and has a deep relationship with the princess, just like family!"
Yu Jin still maintained her polite smile, "Nanny Gui, please don't make things difficult for us."
Nanny Gui's smile faded a bit, "I don't want to make it difficult for you either. Go and inform the princess, just say that Old Wangfei’s person has come to see her."
Yu Jin calmly said, "The princess has not been feeling well recently. She didn't sleep at all last night, only resting as dawn approached. It might not be appropriate to disturb her."
Nanny Gui chuckled, "I wasn't aware that it's up to a servant like you to decide when Princess Xinyang should be disturbed."
A young servant girl nearby interjected, "Lady Yu Jin is the steward of the Princess Mansion and holds an official position in the court. Please be cautious with your words, nanny."
Nanny Gui coldly glanced at Yu Jin and lifted her chin, "Very well, I'll wait here until the princess wakes up."
"Who's making such a noise?"
Marquis Xuanping, sitting in the wheelchair, was slowly pushed over by the coachman.
When Yu Jin heard his voice, her eyes lit up, and she turned around to bow, "Lord Marquis!"
"Marquis?" Nanny Gui looked at the handsome man in the wheelchair and couldn't help but pause.
This, this… Was this Princess Xinyang's husband?
How come he hadn't changed a bit after all these years?
Nanny Gui was an old servant by the side of Liang Wangfei and had lived in the capital for many years, so naturally, she had seen Marquis Xuanping.
But she never expected him to be unchanged by the years.
"Lord Marquis! This servant..."
Nanny Gui hadn't finished her sentence yet when Marquis Xuanping directly grabbed the bundle from Yu Jin's hands and unceremoniously threw it at Nanny Gui's feet.
Nanny Gui was stunned again.
The servant girls, seeing their Lord Marquis take the lead, also straightened up and threw the gifts onto the ground!
Humph!
Nanny Gui and her group were pushed back several steps by the thrown items.
This was a complete humiliation.
They had traveled all this way to deliver gifts to Princess Xinyang, but not only did she refuse them, but also had them thrown out directly!
Nanny Gui immediately protested, "Lord Marquis! We are from the Liang Wang Mansion! This servant is here at the behest of Old Liang Wangfei!"
The status of Old Liang Wang and Liang Wangfei was extremely high and prestigious.
Even the current Empress Dowager must respectfully address them according to their seniority, calling them "Uncle and Aunt" with great deference when she met them.
Marquis Xuanping and Princess Xinyang belonged to the generation of their grandchildren.
So how dare he!
But Marquis Xuanping really dared!
He didn't even lift an eyelid at Nanny Gui's threat, just lazily leaned back in his wheelchair.
Although Nanny Gui was standing and he was sitting, he exuded an aura of dominance unmatched in the world.
Marquis Xuanping arrogantly said, "Still not leaving? Waiting for this Marquis to kick the lot of you out?"
Nanny Gui was furious, "You!"
One of the servants beside her sneered, "Forget it, Nanny Gui. Marquis Xuanping has been arrogant for a long time! At worst, we'll go back and report to Old Wangfei and let her go to the Emperor to seek justice! Let's see if someone dares to disrespect the Liang Wang Mansion just because Old Liang Wang has retired and is no longer working in the capital!"
This was, of course, another threat to Marquis Xuanping.
They didn't believe he wasn't afraid of Old Liang Wangfei or the current Emperor!
However, Marquis Xuanping didn't flinch at all.
Yu Jin suppressed a smile and said to Nanny Gui's group, "Our Lord Marquis has just made great military achievements. Do you think the Emperor will move against him at this critical juncture? He's just chasing away a few servants! It's not like he's kicking out your Lord and Madame!"
Our Lord Marquis
Yu Jin addressed Marquis Xuanping like this for the first time.Raz P.'s Thoughts
