Liao Yunfei stared at Mrs. Liu closely.
She saw the struggle and hesitation on Liu Po's face, and her heart beat like a drum.
Suddenly, with a "bang", Liao Yunfei fell off the chair.
The sound startled everyone.
"Yun Fei!" the eldest lady called out anxiously.
Several other ladies also ran towards Liao Yunfei.
"He must be too weak to bear it! Call the palace doctor quickly."
Everyone's attention was attracted by Liao Yunfei, and no one cared about Liu Pozi at this moment.
The court doctor came and gave Liao Yunfei an injection. Liao Yunfei slowly woke up and began to sob sadly while hugging the eldest lady.
"Yun Fei, don't cry. Your health is so poor. Don't cry anymore or you'll get into trouble. Listen to your aunt and go back to rest first." The eldest lady comforted her softly.
"Aunt, can you stay with me? I don't want to be alone." Liao Yunfei held the eldest lady's hand pitifully, looking like a wounded little animal.
"Aunt, Sister Yunfei is not feeling well and needs someone to accompany her. You should stay with Sister Yunfei first. Anyway, there is no rush for this matter. Let's lock up Aunt Liu first and then interrogate her." Ji Chuhe suggested softly.
"Okay, come here, lock up Mrs. Liu first!" the eldest lady gave an order.
The other ladies didn't say anything either. It was obvious that they all felt that Liao Yunfei was more important in comparison.
Ji Chuhe understood.
No wonder Liao Yunfei dared to be so willful, because Liao Yunfei knew how much the people in the Duke's Mansion valued her.
such a pity.
too young.
For a man, I did such a stupid thing.
The eldest lady went to accompany Liao Yunfei.
Mrs. Liu was imprisoned.
The third and fourth wives also left one after another.
"He'er, come walk with your second aunt?" The second lady took the initiative to invite.
"Yes." Ji Chuhe responded obediently.
The two walked slowly forward.
Ji Chuhe remained quiet and did not speak.
She knew that the Second Madam would ask.
Because the second wife had sent away everyone around her, so there were only the two of them.
"He'er, do you already know the truth of this matter?" The Second Madam asked directly without beating around the bush.
"Yes, second aunt, I understand." Ji Chuhe also admitted generously.
"It's not the Luo family, right?"
"My second aunt has sharp eyes and will soon see the truth." Ji Chuhe didn't make it too clear.
If the blame had not been directed at the Luo family, the investigation would not have been carried out so vigorously.
"Alas!" The Second Madam sighed, "He'er, what are your plans for this matter?"
After asking, the second wife regretted it.
Isn't she asking unnecessary questions?
"Second aunt, the prince already has a wife and two concubines in the inner courtyard, and they have children. He has no plans to take in concubines for the time being." Ji Chuhe answered this question seriously.
"I understand." The second lady nodded.
If the prince was willing to take Liao Yunfei as his concubine, the subsequent drama would not have happened.
Ji Chuhe accompanied the second wife to her residence before leaving.
On the way back, I took a look at Liao Yunfei's residence.
Next, it depends on how Liao Yunfei responds.
If we stop now, we can still turn back.
If you go wrong any further, there will be no turning back.
……
Liao Yunfei returned to her residence and kept pestering the first lady.
She knew that the eldest lady was still responsible for this matter.
Several other ladies accompanied the trial, but it was just a formality.
As long as she could stop the eldest lady, she could delay time and think of a countermeasure.
The eldest lady was worried about Liao Yunfei, so she stayed here all the time. It was so dark outside that one couldn't see one's hand in front of one's face.
The maid brought the prepared medicine over.
The eldest lady took it and fed Liao Yunfei the medicine herself.
"Yun Fei, you have to think more positively about this matter. After the incident, Luo Haoqing found me immediately and was very concerned about your health. He also expressed his attitude, saying that he did not believe the rumors outside and that your engagement with him would not change because of this incident."
"Through this incident, we can also see a person's character. He is a person worthy of trust."
The eldest lady fed Liao Yunfei medicine while comforting her.
Liao Yunfei couldn't control her tears and looked at the eldest lady with tearful eyes.
"Aunt, please don't comfort me. I know no one can accept this matter calmly. That Mr. Luo is a disciple of the Duke's Mansion. He will definitely not want to break off the engagement. Wouldn't breaking off the engagement be a slap in the face of the Duke's Mansion?" Liao Yunfei retorted.
"Yun Fei, don't you still believe your aunt? It's not what you think. Your aunt is not trying to comfort you, but is telling you the truth to put your mind at ease."
"Aunt, I don't believe it. I don't want this to happen." Liao Yunfei cried and shook her head, "Otherwise, I will take the initiative to cancel the marriage. I don't want to embarrass others."
"Silly child, don't be so stubborn. You need to be open-minded. Do you want to give up your lifelong happiness so easily? What about after the engagement is cancelled? Do you want to remain single forever?"
Liao Yunfei's heart tightened.
It seems that my aunt has never considered letting the prince be responsible for her!
"I...I would rather never marry!"
"Nonsense!" The eldest lady put down the medicine bowl and looked at Liao Yunfei with a sullen look for the first time.
Rong Qingqing walked in, sat down on a chair beside her, picked up the fruit on the table and took a bite.
"Liao Yunfei, you don't want to marry that Luo What, do you want to be my brother the prince's concubine?"
"You!" Liao Yunfei's face turned red with anger, and she also felt embarrassed and awkward as if her true feelings had been exposed.
"What are you talking about! Aren't there only two choices before you? One, marry that Luo something, two, become the concubine of the prince brother."
"Qingqing! What nonsense are you talking about?" the eldest lady shouted angrily.
"Mother, you are always mean to me! Am I wrong? Your precious niece doesn't want to marry the good husband you carefully selected. Are you going to go to my aunt, the princess, to propose marriage for your precious niece?" Rong Qingqing said again.
She's not stupid.
She could see it at a glance, but I didn’t know that her mother just couldn’t see Liao Yunfei’s true face.
"Qingqing, is this how you see me?" Liao Yunfei looked heartbroken and questioned Rong Qingqing.
"Qingqing, come here and apologize to your sister!" the eldest lady shouted.
"I did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize? She is just shameless and has fallen for my brother, the Crown Prince. She is eager to take this opportunity to marry him!"
"Pa!" A crisp slap sounded.
Rong Qingqing covered her burning cheeks and looked at her mother in disbelief.
The eldest lady also felt a little regretful. Her hands trembled uncontrollably and her heart ached.
She moved her lips, but in the end she couldn't utter a word.
Qingqing is carefree and doesn't take anything to heart.
But Yunfei is different.
This child has been pitiful since childhood. Without a mother, he lives like a dependent in his own home.
