Chapter 1154: Chapter 1151: Good News
“I’m fine now, am I not? I wouldn’t undertake sothing I wasn’t sure about.”
Upon seeing that she had finished her tea, Chun Xing quickly handed her the hand warr, “Madam, although that may be the case, this matter initially had nothing to do with us. By intervening, aren’t you giving others a chance to implicate the Chu family?”
“Alas, you do not understand. Elder Huo is master’s old ntor. It is clear that this ti soone is scheming against both the Huo family and the Qi family. No matter which young lady gets into trouble, in the end, both families will beco enemies. The Qi family will surely stand firm, but the Huo family will be unable to support themselves alone. If the Huo family encounters trouble, master will also be affected in the official circle. In short, we must be more cautious in our actions in the future. Who knows what kind of evil spirits have infiltrated the Princess’ Mansion.” Ye Muyu quietly reminded the two.
Su i, always level-headed, handled many affairs of the residence; these words of caution were also to make her more vigilant since a person’s energy is limited.
Chun Xing, younger and lively although she understood the severity, would rember anything she was cautioned about and would not speak out of turn in front of others.
“Madam, servant understands,” the two responded in unison.
...
By then, the clothes had almost dried, and a knocking sound ca from the door.
Chun Xing, being free at the mont, went ahead to open the door. Standing outside was a maidservant who served Her Highness the Elder Princess.
She ntioned that Her Highness the Elder Princess was requesting Ye Muyu to co over.
Ye Muyu asked Su i to pack away the clothes, and she went with only Chun Xing.
The Elder Princess was in the main hall, having just confird that both young ladies were fine but had caught a cold, which if treated improperly, could affect their fertility; thus, she directly had her servants take her token to the palace to summon the imperial physicians, claiming it was to give a consultation for the Young Prince.
Moreover, she instructed all the ladies and young misses who ca today to forget about the incident, gave them a stern warning, and made it clear that if she heard any unfavorable rumors from outside and found out who spread them, she would not let them off lightly.
Although it is said that the law does not punish the majority, there’s always a scapegoat; as long as the Elder Princess found out, even though she couldn’t punish everyone, offending her was enough. In future banquets, if one were not invited by the Elder Princess, that would truly be a loss of face.
Besides, nothing had happened to the two young ladies today.
Even if sothing had happened, the status of the Elder Princess wouldn’t have been affected in the slightest.
Thus, this matter was only circulated among the nobility, unknown to the public and those families who did not attend this ti.
After all this hustle, the Elder Princess felt exceptionally weary.
Sitting down for a sip of tea, she recalled the assistance of Ye Muyu today.
While having a maidservant massage her shoulders, she sent for Ye Muyu.
By the ti Ye Muyu arrived, the Elder Princess had nearly rested enough. She waved her hand, and the maidservant stopped massaging and stood aside politely.
“I have seen Her Highness the Elder Princess,” Ye Muyu entered and bowed respectfully.
“Madam Chu, please take a seat.”
The Elder Princess’s gaze fell on her clothing, “Today, thanks to Madam Chu, Miss Qi the Third did not encounter any trouble, which also resolved a major problem for . If Madam Chu needs help in the future, she can co to ; I owe you a favor.”
Ye Muyu stood up and bowed, “I dare not accept such praise. Today, no matter where I was, had I seen soone in trouble, I would have helped them. Your Highness need not worry about it.”
“As for the favor, Your Highness has already taken care of earlier. I could not possibly ask for more.”
