Chapter 520: Banquet at the Palace (2)
There is a banquet being held at Prince You's Palace today, and all the noble ladies in You City are notified to attend.
Normally, such a banquet would have to be prepared a month in advance, but the palace only gave five days’ notice in advance, so they were not really worried about preparing it too late and ruining everyone’s mood.
Especially after yesterday's show of force that shocked the whole city, today they all went out with the excitement of eating melons!
After all, even King You himself did not stand up to support the princess and the concubine, so the noble ladies naturally thought that the reason why the banquet was held as usual today was just because of King You's wife's last stubbornness.
Anyway, everyone knows about yesterday's joke, so why not just stand up and put on a smile today? It's better than letting the people's discussion focus on the farce at the city gate.
But which is more embarrassing, being scolded in public or not having the real host show up at the welcome party?
This is a mystery, but since they are not the ones who are embarrassed, the ladies don’t care!
But no one expected to hear such explosive gossip! ?
Just now, Prince You's Mansion said lightly that what happened yesterday was all a misunderstanding. The reason why Princess Zhuo suddenly attacked was because the Yun family of Zhuocheng personally exposed that Prince You's second son had a quirk of abusing and killing servants, regardless of age or gender! He said that his next target would be his own brother, the third son!
Therefore, in order to save the reputation of Prince You's Mansion, Princess Zhuo immediately took the initiative to try to take her brother away!
As for why the second princess appeared here, everyone knew it. She was ordered to pick someone up, and the person she picked up happened to be Xue Yunyun, the second young master's wife who was rumored to be a shield in her marriage.
All of these incidents were related to the Second Young Master, causing Luo Cheng and Zhuo Cheng to be extremely distrustful of Prince You's Mansion. Therefore, the two of them had not planned to enter the city. After all, there was a pervert living in your palace. Who knew if he would go crazy and torture and kill the Second Princess and Princess Zhuo?
The Second Young Master's wife, Xue Yunyun, was now looking pale as she spoke of their slanderous remarks.
Concubine Yun had an expression of disbelief on her face, as if she had been wronged. "Sister? What do you mean by saying that? Even if you don't like Fei Qi, you can't slander his reputation like this! You are forcing him to die! "
She was extremely beautiful, with a charming smile and a sad cry.
It’s a pity that there are no men here. Concubine Yun’s acting skills are like winking at a blind man.
Lu Yuanqi frowned and tried to hold back, but couldn't help but retort, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? What does this have to do with Princess You? This is a complaint from someone from your own family!"
Shen Yu was speechless. It turned out that the aloof personality didn't suit her. But apparently no one cared whether she changed her personality or not.
The Second Princess said what everyone was thinking. Everyone had said it so clearly, but Concubine Yun still wanted to put the blame on Princess You. She is indeed the Second Young Master's mother. If this is true, she should keep her son/daughter away from him in the future. Killing a servant? This is really a lack of virtue!
Shen Yu nodded and admitted directly, "Do you still remember Yun Hao? He is the most high-profile member of the Yun family in Zhuocheng. He has a close relationship with you. He comes to the Yun family in Youcheng many times every year. I think everyone here knows better than me. That person is the cousin of Concubine Yun. It was his son who exposed him personally. He was also the one who asked me to come and pick up Fei Yao quickly, saying that if I was late, something might happen to him."
She is not a fool, why would she openly go against Princess You?
Although she did have ulterior motives in the scene at the city gate yesterday, with the purpose of venting Tian'er's anger, if she really took her brother and left, it would be fine for herself, but Tian'er's reputation as an unfilial son would be sealed in advance!
In ancient times, everything could be related to filial piety. Even if parents were not human beings, their children had to endure it.
This is also the reason why she has been careful not to expose Muer. Otherwise, if the scumbag father Shen Nian stepped forward as his biological father and wanted to take him away, even the emperor would not ask.
Not long after he had a good time arguing with someone yesterday, the letter of explanation that An Yi had prepared long ago arrived in the hands of Princess You.
Shen Yu first apologized sincerely, saying that all this was just acting, and the ultimate goal was to expose the scandal of Concubine Yun's son! !
She said righteously that as a royal wife, she sympathized with Princess You's situation and could not tolerate a concubine who was so arrogant and overbearing. She also said bluntly that she was very dissatisfied with Princess You's behavior of ignoring her brother. A big pervert was raised in the mansion, and she, as a princess, didn't know about it? She almost caused her brother to fall into the hands of the second young master!
Then she proudly attached a lot of witnesses and evidence and asked her to verify it. She also said that she knew the other party was King You's son. As the mistress, she was in a difficult position, so it would be best for her to step forward. After all, as a good sister who loved her younger brother, it was only natural for her to curse King You's wife in grief and anger.
Finally, she said that it was useless to tell the matter, King You would protect him, and the Yun family could also help him escape. She said that although she could not enforce justice, Fei Yao must take him away, and the reason was that he would go to Beidi Academy to study. She was worried about her brother coexisting with such a scum, and hoped that Princess You could understand her feelings as a sister.
According to An Yi's reply, Princess You sat in front of the window for a long time after receiving the letter, but the flames in her eyes became more and more obvious.
As soon as she heard it, she knew that her bet was right. Princess You really knew it!
Although it was still unclear why she was hostile to Tian'er, she agreed that it was not important. She would never again persuade her brother to try to reconcile with their mother without knowing the situation, as she did in Los Angeles. Anyway, she would never make the same mistake twice!
Concubine Yun looked at her in a daze. Princess Zhuo was different from what she had expected.
She originally thought that those so-called achievements were just given to her by Prince Zhuo to build momentum for her, but after seeing the real person this time, she realized that they were making a fuss. Princess You was not on the same level as this person. Her mother might have made a mistake in cooperation this time...
She had a hunch that if the Yun family was targeted by Princess Zhuo, their future would be even more difficult.
For a moment, Concubine Yun's mind was in a thousand circles, thinking about how to make amends. Finally, she set her eyes on Xue Yunyun. Suddenly, she rushed over and slapped her, "Is it you? Did you know that Fei Qi and Miss Zhao had a relationship, so you hold a grudge and deliberately spread false news to your uncle Yun Hao to deliberately slander my son's reputation!"
Xue Yunyun was stunned and unconsciously reached out to touch her red and swollen face, as if she didn't understand what she was talking about.
Concubine Yun gritted her teeth and raised her hand to slap him twice, "Is it really like this? Fei Qi was just a young man who was naively attracted to a girl. How can you not tolerate it? You even planned to frame my son? Did you spread more outrageous false news to the Xue family in Luocheng? Otherwise, how could a noble princess like the Second Princess come here in person!!"
Xue Yunyun fell to the ground in embarrassment, as if she was meeting her beautiful mother-in-law for the first time.
