Mrs. Zhan and Mrs. Dai waited at the door for half an hour but still there was no sign of Sang Zhi, and the courtyard was quiet.
Even though Mrs. Zhan knew from Zhan Chi that the Eighth Prince listened to Ye Qianning's words, she couldn't help but worry. After all, it was not appropriate for an unmarried man and an unmarried woman to stay together.
When I was in trouble, the maid came in a hurry: "Madam, there is a young lady outside the door asking to see Miss Ye."
Dai Shi was immediately happy when she heard this: "Which family is she from?"
"Her surname is Xiang, and the person escorting her seems to be the bodyguard of Mr. Xiang."
Towards?
Mrs. Zhan and Mrs. Dai's faces froze with joy. They originally wanted to go in and take a look because someone was visiting, but after hearing the surname "Xiang"...
The two ladies looked at each other and paid attention to the eighth prince in the courtyard.
“Let's go and have a look.” Mrs. Zhan was the first to speak out.
Dai Shi nodded, his face a little solemn.
The fact that Xiang's second wife was brought back to the capital by the emperor was unknown to outsiders. Both the Gu family and the Zhan family knew about it, and they subconsciously classified the second member of the family as belonging to the royal party.
Furthermore, the Xiang family's mess back then is still fresh in my memory. It would not be a good thing for the daughter of the Xiang family's second wife to find Ye Qianning after all.
When Dai Shi and Mrs. Zhan arrived at the gate, they saw Xiang Zhenzhu standing weakly at the door.
Xiang Zhenzhu, who was almost sixteen years old, was skinny and skinny, with a dark face. She was wearing ill-fitting clothes. Two tall guards stood beside her, making her even thinner.
Mrs. Zhan had seen Xiang Zhenzhu several times in the past. The little girl at that time was fair and clean and very cute. Now seeing Xiang Zhenzhu like this, her heart suddenly softened a bit.
What Xiangzhu saw were two luxurious ladies. She felt a little embarrassed and couldn't figure out who was saluting. It was correct: "I have seen two ladies."
"No need to be polite." Mrs. Zhan spoke softly and looked at the two guards behind her.
"Old Madam Zhan, Miss Xiang was in danger in the west of the city. The master said that the eldest lady was in the west of the city, so he asked his subordinates to send him here." The guard reported back.
Mrs. Zhan frowned slightly when she heard this. She didn't know what Xiang Minghou meant. He thought that it would be better to send someone to the Xiang family because of his blood connection, so why did he send it to the Gu family.
It was also delivered right under Qian Ning's nose.
“Since I'm going to explain to my family, let's go in and talk.” Dai Shi said with a smile.
“Thank you, ma'am.” Xiang Zhenzhu responded in a low voice.
The two guards sent the people there, saluted Dai Shi and Mrs. Zhan, then turned and left.
Xiang Zhenzhu followed the two ladies into the door.
At the entrance of Gu's alley, a figure saw Xiang Zhuzhu entering the door of Gu's family, and he looked happy. It seemed that Xiang's family still valued Xiang Zhenzhu, that **** girl.
As long as he goes to Pearl, he will have a chance to contact Ye Qianning.
Wang Yong touched his cheek excitedly. With his face and some tricks to coax women, he couldn't believe that he couldn't control a woman.
In the Gu family hall, Mrs. Dai asked someone to serve tea to Zhenzhu.
"Miss Xiang, wait a moment, I've sent someone to call Qian Ning." Dai Shi said with a smile.
"I can go find my sister." Xiang Zhenzhu was startled when she heard this. Since the last time, she was afraid of Ye Qianning from the bottom of her heart and did not dare to let Ye Qianning come to see her.
“No problem, Miss Xiang, I heard that you just entered Beijing recently?”
"yes."
“Where do you live now?”
“North of the city.”
"The north of the city is far away from the west of the city. The streets are not very peaceful now. Does Miss Xiang come to the west of the city to do something?"
Xiang Zhenzhu was a little flustered as he held the cup: "Yes... I heard that the people living in the west of the city are all literati. I haven't read much since I was a child, so I wanted to come and take a look."
“That's it.” Dai Shi saw her panic in his eyes.
Looking at the pearl table like a needle felt, looking at the door from time to time.
Not long after, the maid who went to communicate came back.
“Madam, the eldest lady is taking a lunch break.”
Dai Shi nodded apologetically: "Miss Xiang, look..." "I can wait, madam, I'll wait for my sister to wake up." Xiang Zhenzhu said hurriedly.
"All right."
The housekeeper outside the door came in a hurry: "Second Madam, Lord Xu of the Earl of Rongchang is here."
Dai Shi and Mrs. Zhan were both shocked.
"Hurry up and ask the master to come back." Dai Shi stood up and ordered.
"yes."
Dai's brows furrowed. The Earl of Rongchang's Mansion is now notorious. Xu Hongwen and He Sangzhu were demoted to commoners and are still being held in the sky prison. Their life and death are unknown.
Xuchang came to the door at this time. Could it be that he came to Ye Qianning to plead for mercy?
"Don't panic, let's take a look at the purpose of his coming." Mrs. Zhan was calm and composed.
Dai Shi nodded and looked to Xiang Zhenzhu aside: "Come here, take Miss Xiang to the side room for a rest."
"yes."
Getting up to Pearl: "Thank you, Madam."
The housekeeper came with Xuchang.
Dai Shi and Mrs. Zhan went out to greet them and saluted.
"You two ladies, you don't need to be polite." Xuchang looked haggard and unshaven, and he looked like he had aged twenty years in just over half a month.
"Sir, please take a seat. My husband will be back soon." Dai made a gesture of invitation.
"No, Mrs. Gu, is the eighth prince at your residence?" Xuchang got straight to the point.
Dai Shi was slightly stunned: "Your Majesty, are you here to find the Eighth Prince?"
“Yes, please tell Mrs. Gu a message.” After Xuchang said this, he even raised his hands in salute.
Dai Shi was startled: "Your Majesty, you can't do it."
Mrs. Zhan observed secretly that Xuchang was no longer as aloof as before, and his face was full of vicissitudes and sorrow.
"Mrs. Gu, people in the light don't tell secrets. The spies in the mansion found out that the eighth prince had entered the Gu family, so they paid a rash visit. I also asked Mrs. Gu to pass the news on my behalf." Xu Chang prayed.
Dai was in a dilemma. The eighth prince didn't go through the main entrance, so they couldn't rush to invite him.
“I beg Mrs. Gu to pass the message on my behalf.” Xuchang knew that he was being abrupt, so he bent down and knelt down.
Seeing this, Dai Shi suddenly came back to his senses and said, "I can't do it. Sir, I can't do it."
The housekeeper is a good person and immediately supported Xuchang who was about to kneel down.
Xuchang stood up with strength, his body slightly stooped and his eyes slightly red: "I am dissatisfied with the two ladies. My wife's life is at stake, and all the doctors in the capital are helpless."
Hearing this, Mrs. Dai felt a little sympathetic: "Sir, are you going to ask the Eighth Prince to treat Madam Ling?"
"I don't dare. A few days ago, the eighth prince entered the palace and was accompanied by a woman. The woman was a doctor. She only asked the eighth prince to tell him the name of the miracle doctor." Xuchang felt regretful thinking about that day.
Had he listened to the woman's words at that time, his wife might not have suffered this torture.
When Dai and Mrs. Zhan heard this, they immediately thought of Ye Qianning.
"Mrs. Gu, I really can't do anything..." Xuchang saw the embarrassment and wanted to kneel again.
"Sire, please wait a minute and I will send someone to notify the Eighth Prince." Dai Shi gave a hand, turned around and ordered the maid to go to Ye Qianning's courtyard.
The housekeeper pulled Xuchang up again.
“Thank you, Mrs. Gu.” Xuchang was grateful.
"Sir, please have a cup of tea and wait a moment." Dai Shi couldn't let people stand at the door and wait.
Xuchang nodded
The housekeeper helped him into the hall and sat down at the guest seat.
Mrs. Zhan and Dai Shi entered the hall together.
Neither of them expected that Xuchang could do so much for his wife, and they admired him greatly. (End of chapter)
