Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 191 Not to be mentioned

Everyone was stunned when Princess Fuyao said this.

Fang Ziqing's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. She never expected that Princess Fuyao would actually take a liking to Yuan Cuo?!

Huang Wanwan was also stunned; she had never seen a member of the royal family so unscrupulous.

"Do you know what you're saying?" she couldn't help but ask.

Princess Fuyao said arrogantly, "Of course I know. I originally thought that Yuan Cuo was wronged to marry her, but she is not good at assisting me. For the sake of the Great Qi, I cherish talent and will not tolerate such a shrew. I will help Yuan Cuo manage his household affairs!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at the two teaching assistants behind her.

The nannies stepped forward to press down on Liu Yuechu.

Granny Fang stepped forward and directly stopped them, saying, "I am the head nanny of the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs in the twenty-sixth year of Hongde. I'd like to see who dares to make any rash moves!"

The two old women were stunned upon hearing this.

These were elders from the previous emperor's era; they really didn't dare to act rashly.

Princess Fuyao hadn't expected Granny Fang to be so intimidating, but as Emperor Qi Xiao's most beloved princess, why would she be afraid of an old servant?!

"Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"When the Imperial Concubine entered the palace, it was I who taught her proper manners and etiquette. Your Highness, you might as well go back and ask the Imperial Concubine if this is appropriate, so as not to embarrass yourself further." Granny Fang, who was usually kind and amiable, was now decisive and authoritative.

Princess Fuyao's eyes reddened with anger; she couldn't tell if the old woman was bluffing her.

Princess Luoyue had heard of Granny Fang, so she quickly pulled Princess Fuyao back and whispered in her ear, "...This is Granny Fang who serves Princess Chen. She's not someone to mess with."

Princess Fuyao could only take two steps back. "Anyway, I've said what I needed to say. You'd better not be ungrateful!"

"I'll give you a month to think it over."

After saying this, she turned and left, completely ignoring Fang Ziqing as she went.

This group of people came and went in a hurry, as if declaring war.

Fang Ziqing stood there for a long time, unable to recover. The first thing she did after recovering was to explain, "I really didn't know about this."

She rarely left the East Palace, little did she know that Princess Fuyao had her eye on Yuan Cuo!

Seeing that Liu Yuechu showed no surprise, Huang Wanwan asked, "Did you already know?"

"I'm just guessing. There's no smoke without fire. There must be a reason why so many people are suddenly criticizing me." Liu Yuechu sniffed.

Actually, there were people who criticized her before, but none of them were as vehement as this.

Fang Ziqing sensed something was wrong. "We still need to report this to His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. This is no small matter."

A princess is trying to steal someone else's husband, and this is happening in a side hall of the East Palace.

Even if Liu Yuechu doesn't care about this matter, if it really gets out, the trouble will be immense!

Liu Yuechu nodded; she should indeed go and speak to them. Since the matter was already out in the open, she couldn't just let it go like this.

The three of them didn't have time to chat, so they went to the front hall to talk to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess was also shocked when she learned of this. Who would have thought that Princess Fuyao and Princess Luoyue came to the East Palace for Liu Yuechu?!

"Don't worry, I will definitely report this matter to Her Majesty the Empress and get justice for you."

Having given a promise, Liu Yuechu didn't want to stay any longer. After drinking two more cups of tea, she left with Granny Fang.

She first took Huang Wanwan home, and then leisurely returned to the Liu residence.

Granny Fang was furious to see that she didn't care at all. "This is no small matter. Why does Yue Niang seem so indifferent?"

“What’s there to care about? My husband is not going to divorce me and marry her.” Liu Yuechu said with great certainty.

Granny Fang was puzzled. "Why not? If he really becomes the prince consort, it will be a leap to the top. You can't completely trust what men say. Before they turn against you, it's all about love and affection. You must take it to heart!"

Liu Yuechu hissed, of course she was certain.

Because Yuan Cuo is Emperor Qi Xiao's biological son and Princess Fuyao is his biological daughter, how crazy must this father be to agree to this marriage!

"Anyway, I just believe that Yuan Cuo wouldn't do that. Don't believe me? Let's make a bet, Granny?" She smiled, her eyes crinkling.

Granny Fang was really curious about where she got her confidence. "No, I have to go back and tell the young master." At this crucial moment, Chen Zhongyao had to step in.

Liu Yuechu stopped her, "Let's see what the Empress's attitude is first, don't drag my brother into this so easily."

This is quite a strange thing, and she was also very curious to know how Yuan Cuo would handle it.

Seeing a hint of clarity in her eyes, Granny Fang asked, "Are you really so sure?"

"Even if he really divorces me, what do I have to be afraid of? With money in hand, I dare not say the world, but there are plenty of men who want to marry me. Are you afraid I won't be able to get married?" Liu Yuechu is not the same as in her previous life. Now she is rich and not short of money. No man can hurt her.

Granny Fang felt something was off, but what she said was indeed true, "Anyway, we still need to be careful..."

Liu Yuechu could only nod repeatedly and give a perfunctory reply that she understood.

After returning home, Liu Yuechu did not mention the matter to Yuan Cuo.

But Princess Fuyao became increasingly frustrated after returning home, so she went directly to the Imperial Concubine to discuss the matter.

At this time, the Crown Princess and Fang Ziqing also reported the matter to the Empress. Fang Ziqing truthfully described Princess Fuyao's arrogance, "...Indeed, she has no manners and is extremely domineering. I was so frightened that I dared not speak. I have never seen Princess Fuyao like this before."

"But I have already explained to Lady Liu that I was unaware of this matter."

"It's also my fault for not asking clearly before letting them meet with Lady Liu. And today, the daughter of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was also there. It was really... really my oversight." The Crown Princess was also frightened.

The Empress's face was filled with disgust; she hated Princess Fuyao the most.

Taking advantage of being favored by Emperor Qi Xiao, he has been running rampant in the palace for quite some time.

"This matter must not be told to anyone; it must be kept a secret."

"Ok?"

Fang Ziqing and the Crown Princess were both surprised that the Empress would try to cover it up.

"Just listen to me. You haven't told the Crown Prince yet, have you?" the Empress pressed.

"I haven't told her yet." The Crown Princess came directly to see the Empress, without having a chance to inform Qin Mushuo.

"Then let's not talk about it for now. After all, the scandal happened in the Eastern Palace. They can cause trouble however they want, but they shouldn't involve the Eastern Palace." The Empress was just making up an excuse; her real purpose was to see how the Consort would handle the situation.

Yuan Cuo is His Majesty's own son. She wants to see how the Imperial Concubine and Princess Fuyao will try to provoke this tough opponent!

Isn't she favored?

Isn't this just trying to curry favor?

If things really get out of control, they will face an abyss.

Thinking of this, the Empress felt a sense of anticipation. It was a pity that the Empress Dowager had passed away too early; otherwise, she would have been furious upon hearing the news...
