Chapter 173 It's Clearly You Are the One Who Makes the Old Lady Sick
The morning farce came to an end, and Su Muxi and Xiao Yunjin went to have breakfast.
Because Xiao Yunjin was there, Su Muxi did not see Mr. Chengnan even though she knew he had arrived. She told Xiao Yunjin about what happened yesterday when the Marquis' Mansion came to take charge.
"It's not that I don't appreciate the old lady's kindness, but His Majesty has granted the Princess a mansion. The promotion banquet must be held in the Princess Manor to be worthy of the Emperor's high regard."
It turned out that when he was away, the old witch was making trouble again. Xiao Yunjin's eyes turned, "Madam, don't worry. Grandmother is under the care of my father, so she won't get in the way."
"Thank you for your understanding, Prince."
As the two were talking, someone from the Marquis' Mansion came with a message. This time, the messenger was smarter. He didn't even enter the mansion and just said that Madam He was seriously ill and asked the Prince to return to the mansion to visit her. The Prince's wife didn't even dare to mention it.
Su Muxi found it funny, but Xiao Yunjin felt annoyed. He had just met the person and there was nothing he could do. He was He Yuncheng now, and it would not make sense for him not to go back when his grandmother was sick.
"Ma'am, my grandmother is ill. I'm afraid you may have to slow down the work you are doing."
Su Muxi nodded. She wanted to see what Madam He was up to.
After the two of them finished their meal, they went to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion together.
When Madam Seven heard Su Muxi arrive, she immediately stood up to greet her, "Meet the princess."
Su Muxi raised her hand to hold Madam Qi, "Aunt Qi, there's no need to be so polite."
"As you should. You are a princess now. Not to mention that His Majesty will blame you if he finds out, even if outsiders know about it, they will say that we in the Yong'an Marquisate don't know the rules."
The Seventh Lady came out of the room to welcome Su Muxi. The ladies in the room thought that she was being flattering the moment before, but the next moment they broke out in cold sweats and quickly stood up.
This is the scene Su Muxi saw when she came in. Except for the third lady who was serving in the inner room, the ladies from other rooms all stood up. In the past, Su Muxi would have performed the junior's salute, but now she just smiled and did not move.
The two illegitimate wives did not feel any humiliation. After all, the status of the Crown Prince's wife was high, which would be beneficial to their children's career and marriage in the future.
It was just that she got used to it at the beginning, so she didn't have the same scheming as the Seventh Madam. The two legitimate wives also knew this, but after all, she was He Yuncheng's biological aunt, so it was somewhat embarrassing to pay respects to her niece-in-law.
After all, if the princess saluted them, they would feel more honored and it would also be a topic of conversation when they went out. The ladies of the several rooms bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Princess."
"No need to greet you, aunties," Su Muxi accepted their greetings and then asked, "Didn't you say that grandma is sick? Why are you all gathered in the outer room?"
The ladies thought to themselves that it was all because of you. The Seventh Lady covered her mouth with a handkerchief to hide the smile on her lips, "Last night, the Third Sister-in-law made the old lady faint from anger, and she has just recovered."
With one sentence, the Seventh Madam pushed the blame of the Third Madam for Madam He's fainting from anger, "This person tends to have wild thoughts when she is sick. She kept nagging all night about wanting to see the prince and the princess, so she rushed to invite you early in the morning."
Xiao Yunjin was too lazy to listen to these reasons, "Let's go see grandma first!"
Su Muxi patted Madam Seven's hand, indicating that she understood.
Zhiyan had already informed her of what happened in the Marquis' Mansion last night. Since no message was passed on last night, it must have been the Seventh Madam who helped to stop it. Today, it is estimated that the old lady woke up and gave the order personally, so the servant went to pass on the message to the Duke of Zhenguo.
She knew that the Seventh Lady was now loyal to her, and she had helped the Seventh House only to cause trouble for Xiao Yunjin and to gain some help in the Marquis' Mansion. Although she would not be the Crown Prince's wife soon, it would be good to monitor Xiao Yunjin's movements.
Su Muxi followed Xiao Yunjin into the inner room. Old Madam He was lying weakly on the bed, and the Third Madam was wiping her tears. Maybe she heard what was said outside, but the Third Madam bowed to Su Muxi.
"Princess Anping, the old lady has been talking about you all morning."
Su Muxi nodded in return and sat down on the bed. "Oh my god, grandma is sick. I wanted to invite you to visit the new garden that His Majesty has admired."
Su Muxi sighed, "Just take good care of yourself now! We'll go shopping another day."
When Old Madam He heard this, she felt extremely regretful. She wondered why she had listened to Third Madam and ordered the Yalan Garden and those gold, silver and jade articles. She spent a lot of money but got nothing in return.
The Marquis' Mansion was already spending more than it earned, and ordering all these things not only failed to please Su Muxi, but also ended up hurting themselves.
The Third Madam wiped her tears while observing secretly. Her thoughts were different from those of Old Madam He. She naturally knew that Su Muxi looked down upon these things, but she still wanted to give them to him, and she also wanted to let Su Muxi know that she had spent money to give them to him.
Wasn't she good friends with the Seventh Prince? Then she would find a way to break them up. Her daughter had been promoted after the palace banquet, from a small concubine to a concubine, and it was said that she would be promoted again in the future.
After the second prince's wedding, he will be crowned king, and her daughter will certainly be promoted to the prince's concubine.
The third lady understood that all this was because Su Muxi was crowned a princess and was also the commander of the border defense camp. She had a title and military power. Now Su Muxi could be called a queen.
The Second Prince wanted to win over Su Muxi, so she had to cooperate.
She had put a lot of effort into sending Yuting to the Second Prince's Mansion.
All her dowry money was given to Yuting, and the Marquis's Mansion added some, but it was not enough, far from enough. It was not enough for her to gain a foothold in the Second Prince's Mansion.
The Marquis's Mansion had no money, and she had no money either, so she could only use this method.
Everyone outside knows how much effort she put into selecting the best things and preparing the promotion banquet for Princess Anping.
She is more like a mother-in-law and a mistress of the house than the marquis' wife who can only chant sutras in the Buddhist temple.
Anyway, the item has been ordered and the money must be paid, otherwise the Marquis' Mansion cannot afford to lose this person.
Madam He couldn't come up with the money and wanted Su Muxi to pay. What does this have to do with her?
"Princess Anping, you have been ill for a long time. The old lady feels sorry for you and wants to get rid of the bad luck for you, so she prepared a promotion banquet. Unexpectedly, this busy schedule made the old lady sick."
"Aunt San, why do you say that? Just now, the aunts outside were clearly saying that you were the one who made the old lady sick."
The third lady's mouth twitched, she must have been framed by the seventh wife.
"You can't say that. Princess, you can go ask around. Everyone in the capital knows that the old lady is preparing a promotion banquet for you. We happily booked Yalan Garden for you, but you said you don't need it."
The third lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "This is not just about money, it's also about the old lady's love for you!"
Even Su Muxi would applaud her for saying this. She can really make a dead person look alive.
"Thank you, grandmother. I am very grateful. Please take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just let me report it. I am busy taking over the border defense camp recently, so I am afraid I can't serve you every day."
"Okay, okay," Mrs. He was about to speak when she was interrupted by the Third Lady.
"Princess, just go and get busy. I will definitely take good care of the old lady."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Aunt San."
Seeing Su Muxi stand up, Xiao Yunjin walked over to greet the old lady twice, stretched out his hand to feel her pulse, and then stood up, "Madam, grandma is tired, let's go out and talk!"
