Chapter 238
"Ouch! Master, be careful!"
The maid in the palace brought a bowl of milk to Qi Zaijun, but she accidentally knocked over the milk bowl.
It all splashed onto his clothes.
Cuiqin walked over, led Qi Zaijun down from the chair, and continued: "Master, give your hand to me first."
The palms of my hands were sticky.
Lin Yunwan also stood up. Qi Zaijun's clothes could no longer be worn.
Mrs. Chen was very nervous since she came in. When she heard the commotion, she immediately came over in person and scolded the maid in a panic: "How do you serve the guests!"
The maid was already shaking with fear.
Lin Yunwan said: "Mrs. Chen, don't scold this girl. It was my Jun'er who suddenly stretched out his hand and surprised her."
This is also true.
Mrs. Chen got off the donkey along the slope and told a proud mother in charge: "Why don't you take the young prince to wash and change clothes?"
There has been rumors about the award of crown prince.
Mrs. Chen knew that she had offended Lin Yunwan, and this honorific had a flattering meaning.
Lin Yunwan smiled faintly, held Qi Zaijun's hand and said, "If he wants to live, I will take him there."
The mother in charge was walking by the side, bending down and saying, "Princess, Prince, please come with me."
Lin Yunwan took Cuiqin and the servants serving Qi Zaijun to the guest room in the inner courtyard of the palace.
From the banquet hall to the guest room, you have to pass through the second door of the palace.
There is a hallway behind the second door, where Ge Baoer and Lu Zhengliu parted ways.
A maid first took Ge Baoer to see her sister-in-law.
The maid lowered her head, not daring to be disrespectful, but she also looked down on Ge Baoer.
"Long time no see. How are you doing these days, sister-in-law? How are you, brothers and sisters?"
The maid was the dowry maid beside the Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Liu. She said calmly: "Everything is fine with our grandma."
It is impossible for Duke Xingguo's government to recognize Ge Baoer openly.
Every time Ge Baoer and Lu Zhengliu came around, they would do so in the name of relatives of the Crown Prince's wife, Liu's family.
Mrs. Liu was given as a daughter-in-law. Her mother-in-law, Mrs. Chen, was very domineering and autocratic. Besides, her father-in-law didn't say anything about it, so she had no choice but to accept this relative.
Whenever anyone asked about Ge Baoer's origins, Mrs. Liu had to say: "A distant relative of my mother's family happened to be a concubine for the Wuding Marquis Mansion. I was lonely at home, and she often came over to relieve my boredom."
Which of the shameless servants in the palace doesn't know that Ge Baoer is actually the aunt of the Chen family?
Ge Baoer followed Liu's maid and asked curiously: "I heard that the mansion invited Princess Huan today. Does my sister-in-law recognize the princess?"
Liu's maid looked her over, was silent for a long time, and said, "I don't recognize her."
Ge Baoer pursed his lips and smiled: "If you don't recognize me today, you may not recognize me tomorrow. Since the princess is willing to be a guest in the palace, that means she is willing to make friends with her mother and sister-in-law, so I will also——"
"I don't know if I would have the honor to meet the princess."
She was embarrassed to express her thoughts too openly.
What doesn’t Liu’s maid know?
The Chen family has not yet gotten acquainted with Princess Huan, a concubine from the Hou family, and now she wants to climb high!
She sneered in her heart and asked calmly: "Why does my aunt want to see the princess? How can our grandma talk about you to the princess when she meets the princess?"
Ge Baoer knew that the maid had other intentions when she spoke.
She sneered and said: "Who doesn't know that I am my sister-in-law's distant sister? Just say so to the princess."
"Or is it that my sister-in-law doesn't want to recognize me as a girl?"
Ge Baoer pressed Liu's maid: "Is this your intention or my sister-in-law's intention?"
She frowned and said sadly: "I know I have wronged my sister-in-law, but she doesn't want to, so I'll just tell my mother. Why send a maid like you here to make me angry?"
Liu's maid bit her lip.
If Ge Baoer really files a complaint against the Duke's wife, her grandmother doesn't know what she will endure!
The maid smiled a little: "My aunt is overthinking. How could my grandma have this intention? It's just..."
"The princess has a distinguished status. Even our grandma may not be able to fall in her eyes. How can we bring relatives there?"
Ge Baoer is very confident: "You can't win the eyes of noble people, everyone depends on their ability."
Liu's maid choked and had nothing to say.
Ge Baoer also knew that this maid must not agree with her in her heart.
But that's just because the maid is just a servant. What can a servant know?
She taught Liu's maid: "When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. If you don't try, how will you know whether something will work?"
If she hadn't boldly given birth to a child for Lu Zhengliu, how could she be where she is today?
There is no chance to recognize her parents.
She may not be able to reach Prince Huan's Mansion.
Liu's maid lowered her head: "I am short-sighted and do not understand these principles."
Ge Baoer ignored the maid.
After all, she was her sister-in-law's maid, so she couldn't just teach her a lesson.
On the other side, Lu Zhengliu and the boy next to the eldest son of the Chen family also entered the inner courtyard together.
He still didn't understand: "Why did the Crown Prince see me in the inner courtyard?"
There was a banquet at the Duke's mansion today, and his brother-in-law must be entertaining the guests in the front yard.
The young man said: "To tell you what to say, the prince broke his leg and was recuperating in the backyard. He is now in the study."
Lu Zhengliu asked casually: "The prince broke his leg, why didn't he send someone to tell me?"
The two families had many business contacts in private. He and Chen Shizi did not meet often, but he had some contacts with people around Chen Shizi.
But he didn't hear about it.
The boy seemed to smile, lowered his head and said, "I don't know about this little one. I only care about the things that are circulated in the house."
Lu Zhengliu felt uncomfortable.
He suddenly remembered that one day when he came to see Mrs. Chen, he heard the servants of the Duke's family saying, "They really treat themselves as relatives of the Duke's family"!
The servant looked up and saw him, as if he had seen a ghost.
Lu Zhengliu's face was gloomy.
Normally he would never come to the Duke's Mansion!
But today Prince Huan and his wife were coming over... He secretly gritted his teeth and endured it.
When he reached the turning point, Lu Zhengliu suddenly saw a familiar figure on the other side of the second gate.
"is her?"
That woman looked exactly the same as the woman he saw at Chixiang Temple that day!
But today, she was not wearing a curtain hat.
Lu Zhengliu opened his eyes wide and stared at that woman. The woman slowly revealed her profile. It was a face that... he was extremely familiar with! It's the face he thinks about day and night!
"Yun Wan..."
It's his first wife, Lin Yunwan.
He will never admit his mistake, he will never admit his mistake! That woman is his wife, Lin Yunwan.
Lu Zhengliu ran over there like crazy.
The boy turned around and didn't see him. He was frightened and panicked: "Uncle Lu, that is the residence of the female family! You, you can't run around!"
He ran after him without any hesitation.
Lin Yunwan had just handed Qi Zaijun to her slave when she saw a branch of flowers stretching out from June Snow in the courtyard next door, so she came out on her own.
She felt a black shadow approaching her, turned around and saw a man running towards her.
Lu Zhengliu was about to reach her side, but suddenly stopped, he slowly approached helplessly, his eyes were red, and his hoarse voice was trembling: "Yun Wan... Yun Wan... you are not dead... you are not dead... "
Lin Yunwan looked at the man in front of her. She hadn't seen him for several years, and she found that she had almost forgotten his appearance.
She asked very indifferently: "Who are you?"
Lu Zhengliu was startled, a lump of air choked in his throat, and tears flowed down.
"Yun Wan, I, I am..."
He suddenly realized that he didn't know how to tell her his identity.
