Huangfu Yi turned his head and looked at Huangfu Rong’an with a dark expression.
His face was full of anger, and killing intent filled his eyes.
Huangfu Rong’an was badly frightened and took a few steps back. “Father, they offended your daughter first and then ganged up to frame me. I didn’t do anything.”
Huangfu Yi… was so angry he almost laughed. “Didn’t do anything? Did Lan’er invite you here? Or do you think my guards are just for show?”
“Father, I was just—”
“That’s enough!”
Huangfu Yi glared at her in disgust and said word by word, “Harming your own kin and injuring the innocent—you’re just as hypocritical and vicious as your mother.”
Hypocritical?
Vicious?
Huangfu Rong’an staggered back a step, staring at him in disbelief. She had never expected such a judgment from him.
Huangfu Yi no longer wanted to look at her. He withdrew his gaze and said, “From today on, stay in your courtyard. Without my permission, you are not to step out.”
With that, he gently picked up Yuan Yuan and carried her inside. Ah Hong carefully lifted Huangfu Ronglan and followed him.
Ah Lü then gestured politely to Huangfu Rong’an. “Princess, please leave Lin Garden Water Pavilion.”
“You… you… very well, very well!” Huangfu Rong’an glared viciously at her, then cast a dark look at the tightly shut door before leaving resentfully.
After she left, Ah Lü hurried out of the residence to invite Tang Wan over to treat the two injured.
When Tang Wan heard, she didn’t hesitate. She quickly grabbed her basket and followed Ah Lü to the Second Prince’s residence.
At this moment, she felt both anxious and puzzled.
Anxious because Yuan Yuan was injured.
Puzzled because—why was Yuan Yuan at the Second Prince’s residence?
Thinking this, she asked, “What is Yuan Yuan doing at the Second Prince’s residence?”
Ah Lü replied flatly, “She is His Highness’s woman. Of course she’s here.”
Tang Wan: ?
Tang Wan: !
Wait—how did Yuan Yuan become the Second Prince’s woman?
Isn’t that Second Prince old enough to be her father? Doesn’t he have any self-awareness?
Tang Wan stared at Ah Lü for a while before finally looking away.
When she saw Yuan Yuan later, she would have to ask clearly. If it was true, she’d better try to persuade her to turn back.
…
At the same time, Gu Yanshuang also learned that her daughter had caused a scene at Lin Garden Water Pavilion and had been confined as punishment.
Gu Yanshuang was furious. Slamming the table, she shouted angrily, “The Second Prince is becoming more and more muddle-headed! For the sake of a vixen and a fool, he’s even punishing his own daughter!”
Nurse Qiuwen silently rolled her eyes.
If it were before, she would have advised her carefully and even helped come up with plans.
After all, if the mistress fell into trouble, the servants wouldn’t fare any better.
But that was before she had met Madam Jiang.
Now that she knew Jiang was still alive—and that her son was so outstanding—she had no intention of helping this foolish and vicious consort anymore.
After all, her good days were nearing their end.
Qiuwen glanced at the bowl of tremella eight-treasure tea on the tray, then walked over with a smile and placed it beside Gu Yanshuang.
“Consort, don’t get angry over such lowly people. What are they compared to you? It’s not worth harming your health because of them.”
Gu Yanshuang snorted coldly, shot her a glare, and downed the tea in one gulp.
But the anger in her heart still hadn’t subsided. She smashed the teacup and said darkly, “That female physician from last time must have discovered that the fool was poisoned with gu—and she likely knows how to remove it. Qiuwen, go to Lin Garden Water Pavilion. Keep watch there. The moment that physician comes out, report to me immediately.”
