Chapter 43 The Seven Princesses Steal a Man
"Miss, why do we have to move out of the Yun residence?" Qinghe was startled by her young mistress's words and expressed her confusion!
So many people dream of visiting the Prime Minister's residence, yet their young lady is thinking of leaving!
"Little girl! You don't understand! There are too many restrictions here! It's lonely at the top!" Yun Juan sighed as she looked at the passing guests. As for whether Qing He understood or not, she didn't want to explain any further.
"Let's go! We forgot to take the birthday gift for the old lady! Let's go back to our own courtyard first!" Yun Juan thought, she couldn't very well take things out of her spatial storage now, could she? She wouldn't be able to explain it if Qing He saw her doing so!
After returning to her room and closing the door, Yun Juan slipped into her spatial dimension, tossed a piece of scrap paper to the printer, and casually picked up her tablet to upload a picture.
She was confident that Grandma Yun would like this picture! After all, she had carefully selected it for her!
Hehe! What she's most curious about right now is how much silver Old Madam Yun has in her private treasury. She just saw the hairpin Yun Rong was wearing; it must be quite valuable!
She's sure it was given to her by Old Madam Yun, to save face! Wow, that old lady is really generous!
However, many of the guests this time are young masters from prominent families. Don't think she doesn't know what the old lady is up to!
How could she possibly hide her son's little schemes from her discerning eyes?
After some time, Yunqian, who was in the room, heard a commotion coming from the garden.
The sound seemed to penetrate the walls and windows, constantly drilling into her ears.
Yun Juan couldn't help but wonder what had caused such a commotion.
She stood up, walked to the window, and gently pushed it open, trying to hear what was happening outside.
As the window opened, the noise became even clearer, making her increasingly puzzled.
"Qinghe! Qinghe... What's going on outside?" Yun Juan had only been back for a short while, and a drama had already broken out in the garden?
She knew perfectly well that three women could put on a spectacular show, let alone so many beautiful women in front of her. Even a child could guess how many schemes and intrigues would unfold between them.
Back when she was obsessed with "Empresses in the Palace," the power struggles and scheming among the women in the harem were far more complex than the methods employed by women today.
Now, she found herself in such a real "palace intrigue" scene, and a strange sense of excitement welled up inside her.
Wow! This is a real-life palace intrigue drama; I've never seen anything like it before!
Doesn't this mean I'll have to see the world again?
"Miss, why don't I go out and ask around?" Qinghe was also a gossip, so she usually had a good relationship with the maids in the various courtyards.
"Okay, go ahead!" Yun Juan waved her hand. Anyway, the Hundred Longevity Picture in her space hadn't been printed yet, so she had to wait a while longer!
A moment later, Qinghe came running back!
"Miss, something terrible has happened!" Qinghe's voice came from outside, tinged with anxiety and filled with tension and worry.
Upon hearing the shout, Yun Juan, who was reading in her room, immediately put down her book, got up, and quickly walked towards the door.
She wondered what had happened to make the usually composed Qinghe lose her composure like this.
"Don't worry, what's wrong? Tell me slowly!" Yun Juan tried to calm Qing He down, while also preparing herself to face any difficulties.
Qinghe took a breath, trying to calm herself down, but the anxiety in her eyes did not lessen at all: "Miss, something has happened! It's Miss Wei!"
Yun Quan's heart sank. Her biggest worry was that something might happen to her mother, Madam Wei, but she never expected it would be Miss Wei!
"What exactly happened? Don't rush, tell me slowly!" She held Qinghe's hand tightly, trying to give her some strength!
Qinghe's lips trembled slightly as she said with difficulty, "When we arrived at the garden, there were already many people gathered there! They all said that Miss Wei stole the Seventh Princess's hairpin! That hairpin was a gift from the Emperor, a birthday present for the Princess when she turned ten! It was very important to the Princess!"
Yun Quan's face instantly turned gloomy. She had seen all sorts of framing methods used by wealthy and powerful families, but she never expected that they would dare to act so recklessly in the Yun family.
"Let's go take a look right away!" Without hesitation, she grabbed Qinghe's hand and hurriedly walked towards the door.
Along the way, Yun Juan thought of a solution. She had just met Miss Wei, and her indifferent personality didn't seem like the kind of person who would steal!
"Qinghe! Does this Miss Wei have some kind of grudge against the Seventh Princess?" Yun Juan really couldn't understand how a princess could frame an unknown young lady in someone else's family.
It doesn't make sense at all, unless something happened between them!
Qinghe fiddled with the handkerchief in her hand, unsure whether to speak or not. After much hesitation, she decided to tell the truth, since her mistress would find out sooner or later anyway. Besides, while the truth of the matter couldn't be confirmed, it was pretty much true!
"Miss, I heard this gossip too! I heard that the Seventh Princess is in love with the son of the Imperial Censor! But this Young Master Su is childhood sweethearts with Miss Wei! They've been lovers since they were little!"
However, the Seventh Princess requested an imperial decree, and the Emperor directly made Young Master Su his consort! But this Young Master Su was also a man of unyielding character, and it is said that he has been depressed ever since he received the imperial decree!
She even stopped eating! That's why she fell ill recently! The Seventh Princess felt that in his heart she wasn't even as good as the daughter of a subject, and she couldn't save face! Qinghe spoke with great regret!
How could this emperor be like this?
They don't consider other people's feelings at all!
They always like to do things that are hard to understand, like breaking up a couple!
Doesn't he know how beautiful love is?
Why would you want to destroy something?
Tsk tsk tsk! That's really inhuman!
Look at yourself, wasn't that marriage contract also bestowed by the emperor?
This is a direct and cruel way to break up a loving couple!
"Is that seventh princess very favored?" Yun Juan quickly considered a solution!
"Miss, I've heard this servant is quite favored! The Seventh Princess is a princess who came out of the Cold Palace! She's been very favored these past few years! Many noble ladies don't dare to offend her!" Qinghe felt that this matter was difficult to resolve, but she couldn't just stand by and watch her die!
She was also worried for her young mistress!
"Damn Murong Qian, the title of future Regent's Consort is useless! It doesn't even have enough deterrent power! Now he's trapped in the manor! I can't even use it myself! I have to rely on myself in this critical moment!" Yun Juan wished she could draw a circle and curse him.
"Alright! We'll have to confront the royal family sooner or later anyway! I'll leave eventually, so let her blame the Yun family when the time comes, or even better, put the blame on Yun Ting!" Yun Juan blinked, already having a plan in mind!
