Chapter 240
"Princess, are you okay?"
After hearing the news, Mrs. Chen rushed over, the hairpin on her head was all messed up.
But she couldn't care anymore.
Lin Yunwan hugged Qi Zaijun, with a very cold expression on her face, and asked Mrs. Chen: "Today we are having a banquet at the palace, how can we let a foreigner in?"
Mrs. Chen bit her lip, really unable to answer.
Originally, the son-in-law was not considered a foreign husband.
But the Duke of Guo said that she would never be allowed to openly admit that Bao'er was her daughter.
"this……"
Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth and walked to Lu Zhengliu, scolding her with a dark face: "You are crazy! Do you dare to break into the inner courtyard?"
Let’s calm down the princess first.
The mother in charge cleverly stepped forward and said: "Princess, this is the husband-in-law of our grandma's sister..."
Cuiqin said rudely: "What kind of relative is this from the Duke of Guo's mansion? It makes everyone faint."
The mother in charge blushed.
Mrs. Chen also knew that she couldn't explain it, so she came over and said she was sorry.
The servant who had his own front yard ran in and whispered: "Madam, the prince is here."
Mrs. Chen's scalp tightened with fear.
Why are you here now?
Lin Yunwan had heard this and was ready to carry Qi Zaijun back home. He only told Cuiqin: "Go and say hello to the Crown Princess."
They don't need to stay in Duke Xingguo's Mansion, but the Crown Princess can't neglect them.
Cuiqin said "yes".
Mrs. Chen panicked and said with a smile: "Princess, wait a minute, the banquet hasn't started yet, but you still used the table..."
Cuiqin turned back and said with a stern face: "Madam, are you trying to restrain our princess?"
"No no no."
Mrs. Chen waved her hands quickly, how dare she mean this.
As soon as Qi Lingheng arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he sent someone to the inner courtyard to find Lin Yunwan. After waiting for no news for a long time, he became anxious. Seeing the servants in the palace hesitating and hesitating, they looked very unhappy: "Where is the princess?"
The servant went to the second door and took a look. He knew that there seemed to be a conflict between the princess and his wife, so he didn't dare to say anything.
Qi Lingheng was already very impatient.
The second master of the Chen family said quickly: "Why don't you go and invite the people around the princess to come over!" He also wanted to appease Qi Lingheng.
Qi Lingheng couldn't sit still and said in a cold tone: "Please take me to pick up the princess."
That's polite, but if the Chen family doesn't allow it, I'm afraid that King Huan will immediately lead people to rush into the Chen family's inner house.
After weighing the pros and cons, the second master of the Chen family said anxiously: "...My lord, please come with me."
He quickly winked and went to inform his mother, Mrs. Chen.
No matter what happens, Princess Huan must be coaxed before King Huan gets angry.
On the other side, Mrs. Chen was listening to the servant saying, "The prince is coming in person." When she heard this, she knew that King Huan broke into the Chen family's inner house angrily, not just to be a guest.
She made a quick decision: "Why don't you hurry up and invite the prince in!"
In order to avoid causing trouble, Duke Xingguo's government would not come down, and the incident was caused by her unjust son-in-law. If her husband knew about it, he still didn't know how the matter would end.
There are more and more people near the second gate.
Lu Zhengliu gradually felt his situation and felt a pressure that he could not bear.
Mrs. Chen still wanted to appease Lin Yunwan and came forward to explain and say nice things.
However, she was used to being domineering in the capital and could not act like a lowly person, so she still said with some dignity: "Princess, you are a female family member. It is not good to be laughed at by the servants here. Why not first?" Move to the Nuan Pavilion to talk."
Mrs. Chen opened her mouth, pointed to Lu Zhengliu and said, "That is a relative of my daughter-in-law's natal family. Her first wife died earlier and suffered from hysteria. How can you, a female family member, care about such a person? I have lost your and the prince's life." identity!"
Lin Yunwan smiled.
The Duke's office is now accusing her of being wrong?
Qi Zaijun couldn't stand it anymore. He got off Lin Yunwan and scolded Mrs. Chen with a serious face: "You old woman, why are you talking to my mother and concubine?"
Without Lin Yunwan opening her mouth, Mrs. Chen was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
The one who spoke was the emperor's grandson.
Who doesn't know that Emperor Jingshun loved King Huan the most and the emperor's grandson the most.
It seems that things can no longer be done according to the rules.
Mrs. Chen quickly said good things to Qi Zaijun: "Your Majesty has misunderstood, and I did not offend the princess..."
"I don't know whether I misunderstood you or not? How dare you quibble!"
Qi Zaijun was so angry that he stopped in front of Lin Yunwan and said, "Concubine, I will take you out. If anyone dares to stop you today, I will chop off her head!"
He took Lin Yunwan and walked towards the second gate.
"What the Duke's Mansion, I will never come again!"
"I'll go tell Grandpa Huang that your home will be ransacked!"
Although Tong Yan was innocent, Mrs. Chen was so frightened that her feet were weak and she would have fallen down if she hadn't been supported by someone.
Mr. Chen Er came with Qi Lingheng.
He looked at a group of people blocking his wife and son from leaving. His face darkened, and he quickly walked over, protecting Lin Yunwan first, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Lin Yunwan shook her head.
It wasn't a big deal at first, but with so many servants around her, Lu Zhengliu couldn't do anything to her.
If Mrs. Chen hadn't made such a fuss, fearing that she, the princess, would suddenly leave and lose the face of the Duke's Palace, there wouldn't have been a big fuss.
But she won't blithely say it's okay in front of Qi Lingheng now.
She said in a moderate voice: "There was a foreigner in the inner courtyard of the palace who bumped into me. I wanted to go back to the palace, but Mrs. Chen still wouldn't let me and Jun'er leave."
Qi Zaijun nodded: "Father, it's Mrs. Chen and him who have offended the mother and concubine. Father, deal with them quickly!"
Only then did the servants around realize that it was King Huan who was coming.
Qi Lingheng didn't look at the pale Mrs. Chen. He slowly turned his head and looked at Lu Zhengliu, his eyes as indifferent as looking at an ant.
The second master of the Chen family was also holding back his anger.
He was a concubine, so it was hard for him to get involved in his aunt's affairs, but he and his eldest brother hated this blood-sucking creature in the Lu family.
He frowned and said, "You haven't kneeled down yet."
Mr. Chen has no official position. Although he is the son of a noble family, he is still a white man.
He took the lead and knelt down: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down."
The masters all knelt down, and the slaves knelt faster. A crowd of people knelt down, and their voices were mixed: "Prince, princess, prince, please calm down."
Mrs. Chen had some status, so even though she didn't have to kneel, her heart had already softened when she saw her family members kneeling.
Lu Zhengliu stood there with his head straight, like a dull dead tree.
He opened his lips, and the lips that were once cold and pursed were silent at this moment.
Qi Lingheng looked at him expressionlessly and asked lightly: "Who doesn't kneel?"
Lu Zhengliu was silent for a long time and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty."
He lowered his head.
Qi Zaijun frowned: "Father, let's go home first."
He then asked his imperial grandfather to settle the score with the Duke's Mansion.
Qi Lingheng hummed, held his son in one hand, held Lin Yunwan in the other, and left.
Lu Zhengliu knelt on the ground, unable to raise his head.
Ge Baoer arrived late, but she didn't even see her biological son, Lu Changzong, hiding in the hall and watching all this.
