Chapter 256: Wu Misses Her Daughter
He kicked hard, but the person on the ground still looked half-dead. The interest in Zhou Lingyi's eyes gradually faded.
She snorted coldly and said, "It's really useless."
He couldn't bear one torture.
She glanced at the nanny beside her and said coldly, "Watch her. Just give her some medicine and don't let her die."
"Yes!" The two maids bowed in response.
Zhou Lingyi gathered his sleeves and walked away indifferently.
She seemed to be very familiar with Prince An's Mansion. She turned left and right and left through the side door.
A low-key carriage had been waiting here for a long time. Zhou Lingyi took Caiwei's hand and got into the carriage. After sitting down, he let out a deep breath.
After sitting down, the carriage swayed all the way towards the Yongning Earl's Mansion. After two quarters of an hour, it stopped at the door of the Yongning Earl's Mansion.
As soon as Zhou Lingyi got off the carriage, a woman with a haggard face came to greet him. It was Wu, the second wife of the Yongning Earl's Mansion.
Wu grabbed Zhou Lingyi's hand, a flattering smile on her face as she asked, "Sister Yi, you're back. You must be tired. Second Aunt has prepared your favorite cakes. Would you like to try some?"
Zhou Lingyi's eyes flashed with contempt, and he said with a fake smile: "No need, Second Aunt, I'm tired and want to go back to the house to rest."
As he spoke, Zhou Lingyi brushed off Wu's hand and tried to leave, but Wu held on tightly and refused to let go.
Zhou Lingyi looked at Wu, not knowing what she meant. She smiled flatteringly and said, "Sister Yi, it's been so long since your eldest sister entered Prince An's mansion, and there's been no news at all. When can you let Second Aunt meet your eldest sister?"
Zhou Lingyi sneered at this, glanced at Wu, and said, "Why, isn't this what Second Aunt and Eldest Sister want?"
"When Second Aunt tried so hard to get my eldest sister into Prince An's mansion, she should have considered that it would be difficult for mother and daughter to see each other in the future."
When the younger generation pointed at her nose and said this to Mrs. Wu, her face turned pale and blue.
At first, I thought that if I couldn't get the position of the main wife, I could at least get the position of a concubine. A concubine also has the right to decide who will meet with her natal family. But I didn't expect that I would end up losing more than I gained, and Sister Fu only got the position of a concubine.
Not to mention meeting her family, there was no news from this person since she entered Prince An's Mansion, not even a letter was sent out.
If she hadn't thought about the fact that Prince An was still unmarried, that there was no mistress in Prince An's Mansion, and that there were only a few maids whose status was lower than Sister Fu'er, and that Sister Fu would not be bullied, she would have been unable to sit still.
If it were before, Mrs. Wu would definitely not be so anxious, but since she heard that her daughter was pregnant and had a miscarriage two days later before she was happy, Mrs. Wu's heart was like being fried in a frying pan.
I regretted it more than once. If I had known earlier, I would have married into an ordinary family. At least I could see my husband when I wanted to. But now that I’m married into the royal family, I can’t see him for a year or two.
If she hadn't missed her daughter so much and couldn't enter Prince An's Mansion, would she, as an elder, be bullied by this little bitch?
Mrs. Wu thought that she had not seen her daughter for nearly half a year and had to ask Zhou Lingyi for help, so she swallowed her anger.
He spoke with difficulty, "Yes, yes, it was Second Aunt who was blinded by greed and possessed by evil. You shouldn't have the same opinion with Second Aunt."
"When can you bring your second aunt to Prince An's Mansion to meet your eldest sister?"
This little bitch only knows how to act high and mighty in front of her, and really thinks she is Princess An!
What a daydream.
Princess Jun'an is the daughter of General Lin's family. The imperial decree has been issued and everyone knows about it.
She laughed in the house for three days and three nights. The old lady was so obsessed with the idea that Zhou Lingyi could take the position of Princess An that she did not hesitate to follow the wishes of the eldest wife and humiliate her sister Fu'er. She even refused to ask her sister Fu'er to fight for the position of concubine.
Now, the position of Princess An, which was set in stone, has been shattered. If Zhou Lingyi wants to enter the Prince An's Mansion again, she can only be a concubine.
That's not much better than her sister Fu!
Zhou Lingyi didn't know what Wu was thinking, nor did she care at all. She didn't take Wu seriously at all.
Listening to Wu's request, Zhou Lingyi thought of Zhou Lingfu living like a rat or ant in Prince An's mansion, and a hint of relief flashed across his eyes.
She raised her eyebrows and said slowly, "Second Aunt, you are really joking. What kind of place is Prince An's Mansion? How can I be the master of it?"
"If Second Aunt wants to see Big Sister, why not send a letter to Prince An's Mansion? If you can see her, I will let you see her. If not, what can I do?"
"If all else fails, ask your second uncle to plead with His Royal Highness Prince An. Perhaps His Royal Highness will be in a good mood and grant your request."
Wu was so angry at these words that she almost bit her teeth off.
This little bitch, if I could have seen her by sending a letter, why would I have to beg her for help!
She knew very well that if Prince An did not come to the Earl's Mansion on his own initiative, her husband, a mere fifth-rank official in the capital, would never be able to see Prince An.
Besides, the master is a noble man and would never do what she said, but she is deliberately making fun of him.
What's more, Prince An is now leading his troops to the border. How can she ask Prince An for help? This little bitch is clearly shirking responsibility.
Thinking of the report just now from her subordinates, Mrs. Wu finally lost her patience.
She looked anxious and asked, "How could it be? Didn't you just go to Prince An's Mansion? How could you not know your elder sister's information? Why can't you let me see your elder sister?"
Zhou Lingyi had been casually dealing with Wu, but upon hearing this, his entire body trembled, and the look he gave Wu changed. "Aunt, how did you know I went to Prince An's Mansion? Did you send someone to follow me?"
Wu choked. She certainly couldn't admit that she had sent someone to follow Zhou Lingyi. "How can you talk like that, kid? I'm not that kind of person."
Wu's eyes rolled around, and in her panic she made up an excuse, "Just now, I ordered the nanny beside me to go out to buy something. I happened to pass by Prince An's Mansion and saw our uncle's carriage at the side door."
"Master usually rides a horse. I guessed that you, Yijie, went to Prince An's Mansion, so I waited for you in front of the mansion gate to come back. I wanted to ask if you had any news about your elder sister."
No matter how Wu explained, Zhou Lingyi's face darkened. She showed no mercy to Wu and said bluntly, "Second Aunt, I really don't know anything about Big Sister. Even if I went to Prince An's Mansion, I wouldn't be able to see Big Sister. The Prince has sent guards to the inner chambers of Prince An's Mansion, so I can't interfere."
"If you really want to see Big Sister, you might as well go and ask Grandmother for help. It's better than begging here."
The old lady is now on the side of the eldest house, so why would she care about her sister Fu'er's life or death!
Seeing Zhou Lingyi's refusal to budge, Wu couldn't help but raged, "You little bitch, what are you doing here? You really think you're the Princess of An? Pah, you're just a concubine. If Miss Lin hadn't even entered the An Palace yet, would I even need to beg you?"
Hearing this, a fierce look flashed in Zhou Lingyi's eyes. Wu was a little lower than Zhou Lingyi, and she saw this fierce look in her eyes, and was immediately shocked.
Then, Zhou Lingyi said sternly, "Since Second Aunt has said so, there's no need to ask me for help. Figure it out on your own."
If she can see anyone, she loses.
After saying that, Zhou Lingyi slapped Wu's hand away and left. The goose yellow dress looked really beautiful on her, making her look pretty and noble.
Wu's eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhou Lingyi's back, and she saw a bright red stain on her wide skirt.
Wu's heart sank. Thinking of Zhou Lingyi's fierce look just now, she suddenly had a bad premonition. She raised her trembling hand and pointed at the red on Zhou Lingyi's clothes.
"Blood...blood..."
Then he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Second Madam... Second Madam..." The maids around swarmed over.
Zhou Lingyi turned around and happened to see the direction Wu's hand was pointing.
She looked in the direction of her skirt and slowly narrowed her eyes.
That was... the blood she accidentally got stained with in Prince An's Mansion.
