Chapter 826: I don't get along with you, I hope my mother-in-law will die
Yun Mujiu knew her friends' concerns, and she raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a calm look. No matter why Princess Gaoyang stayed in the Princess Mansion, she had nothing to worry about.
"Luo Yan, Yan Shuang, Ji Ling, I understand your analysis and your concern for me. The prince and I have already considered what you said, and I don't think there is anything to worry about." Yun Mujiu gently wiped his hand that had just held the cake with a handkerchief and said with a faint smile: "If you are interested in the wedding banquet, just go to the banquet normally. As for other things, I don't need your help."
Meng Ninglang is a straight man. He doesn't care much about what goes on in the harem, and he can't figure out the twists and turns involved.
He tried to guess: "Maybe Princess Gaoyang wants to wait until after the wedding before leaving the house? She may want to see Wu Mingwei and Wang Gou make a fool of themselves. She hates those two people very much in her heart."
"This is just one of the small reasons." Yun Mujiu shook his head slightly at Meng Ninglang.
"Perhaps Princess Gaoyang wants to stay and look after her mother-in-law?" Meng Ninglang made another guess, and then tried to explain in depth: "Princess Gaoyang has been on bad terms with Prince Consort Cao and the Cao family recently. She has to take advantage of Madam Cao's illness to perform well and repair her relationship with the Cao family?"
"This is just one of the small reasons." Yun Mujiu smiled and patiently said to Meng Ninglang, "Besides, Princess Gaoyang, even if she is just pretending, definitely cannot really care about Madam Cao."
Princess Gaoyang didn't get along with Madam Cao, and she probably wished she was dead.
Bai Yanshuang was outspoken and said bluntly, "If there is anyone in the Princess's residence who most hopes that Madam Cao will get into trouble, that person can only be Princess Gaoyang."
Old Madam Cao and Old Man Cao are quite upright people. They attach great importance to family rules and regulations and are traditional people at heart.
When Princess Gaoyang's reputation was ruined and several of her husbands died, Princess Gaoyang fell in love with their most important son and almost ruined the eldest son's career with an imperial edict of marriage proposal. Later, she even forced herself into their harmonious Cao family. Now, she has caused a lot of embarrassment.
To say that Madam Cao's sudden illness was because she was angered by Princess Gaoyang one after another, it would be strange that she could tolerate the notorious Princess Gaoyang in her eyes.
Similarly, Princess Gaoyang was the most arrogant, but Prince Consort Cao was still tolerant of her because of his position, so Old Madam Cao did not need to worry too much.
Princess Gaoyang felt that her mother-in-law was extremely strict. She always lectured her, often talking about family rules and traditions, and paying attention to maintaining the family's image. She hated being restricted the most. She only liked Cao Hanmo as a person, not his family members. When she saw those literary people, she wanted to vomit, but she had to act like a good daughter-in-law as much as possible.
Bai Yanshuang's face almost had these words written on it: Princess Gaoyang most hopes that Madam Cao will die.
Meng Ninglang's predictions were not accurate twice in a row, and he looked timid. Princess Gaoyang couldn't have postponed her trip out of the palace because of Madam Cao's illness, so what else could it be?
"Then what is the reason?" He turned his head and looked at Yun Mujiu, "Princess Gaoyang did not leave the capital, and held a banquet with great fanfare. I'm afraid it's the same as last time, another Hongmen Banquet."
"That's exactly what I want." Yun Mujiu glanced at Meng Ninglang calmly, "Princess Gaoyang is a member of the royal family, she is powerful, and she is valued by the emperor. Others can't easily trip her up. Because she always has a foundation, and fortunately I have uprooted her foundation before."
He smiled faintly and said in an emotionless voice: "If she is more obedient, it would be fine for her to live like this. It's just that she prayed in the temple for three years, was taken away from the princess's mansion, had her reputation ruined, and was laughed at by everyone. It's not that her livelihood is completely ruined. But - "
The corners of his mouth curled up, and his tone was full of sarcasm. "But she still refuses to give up and wants to make some trouble. Now she is causing trouble again, guess what—"
"Can the emperor, the court officials, the Cao family, and even the common people still tolerate her?"
Meng Ninglang was slightly startled and shook his head solemnly. Bai Yanshuang and others also shook their heads slightly.
"So, if this is the Hongmen Banquet, you can take the opportunity to hit Princess Gaoyang's weak spot." Meng Ninglang now understood everything.
When killing a poisonous snake, hit it specifically at the most vulnerable part.
"Yeah. I'm fine, but if someone else wants to provoke me, then she won't have an easy time."
When Yun Mujiu said this, the expression on her face changed slightly. Thinking of the evil things Princess Gao Yang had done, especially the conspiracy to ruin her reputation and destroy her relationship with Ye Xiaohan, she wanted to slap the old woman!
Yun Mujiu's words made everyone feel relieved. As long as Mujiu had a plan in mind, they believed that Mujiu would handle everything with ease, and they would naturally be there when they were needed.
Yun Mujiu asked the waiter to pack up some new dishes that were recently sold in limited quantities at Yueguilou, and packed a portion for each of Meng Ninglang and others to take back. He also added some medicinal soups that were good for the elderly to the food for Meng Ninglang, which were specially prepared for his grandfather.
Several waiters stood aside, helping to carry the packed food boxes, and Yun Mujiu was just about to stand up.
Meng Ninglang exclaimed "Ah", and when everyone was puzzled, they heard Meng Ninglang talking about what happened to him in Herb Hall a few days ago.
At that time, Meng Ninglang went to see Doctor Fu for a consultation and medicine. As for what disease he was diagnosed with and what medicine he was given, Meng Ninglang took the initiative to skip it. At that time, even Wei Song, who appeared at the Herbal Hall, didn't know what was wrong with him, not to mention the girls in front of him. He would never tell them about his physical condition.
In fact, Meng Ninglang was overthinking. Even if You Luoyan and the others knew that Meng Ninglang was going to see a doctor for kidney deficiency, it would not matter, because in front of You Luoyan and Princess Ji Ling, Meng Ninglang was just like Mu Jiu's younger brother, and he was also their younger brother. If the younger brother had any minor problems, they would treat it normally.
Yun Mujiu and others learned from Meng Ninglang's description that when Yun Mujiu went to the palace to see the empress dowager again, Meng Ninglang went to the herbal medicine hall to get medicine and happened to meet Wei Song.
Wei Song took the initiative to greet Meng Ninglang. He went to the herbal hall to get some common medicines on behalf of the soldiers of the Night Palace.
Meng Ninglang and Wei Song chatted for a while, and then they met the servants from the Princess's residence who came to buy medicine. The servants used some of the money from Princess Gaoyang's dowry to buy medicine. Firstly, the Princess's residence was already in deficit, and secondly, the Herb Hall always charged a high price for the people from the Princess's residence to buy medicine for their master, and they themselves were even short of money to buy some good medicine.
The servants bought a batch of good medicine for Princess Gaoyang and Old Madam Cao, and also bought a batch of the cheapest medicine for Wu Mingwei and Wang Gou, as long as they could barely maintain Wu Mingwei and Wang Gou's vital signs.
Yun Mujiu nodded after listening to Meng Ninglang's conversation. "It seems that life in the Princess's mansion is getting worse."
I hope Princess Gaoyang can be more honest and can live the life with the title and treatment of a princess.
Otherwise, the days to come will probably be even more difficult than they are now. How will Princess Gaoyang bear it then?
