Medical Princess

Chapter 466 Going into the Palace Again, Duke Xing's Mansion Lost!

When they were talking, they arrived at the yard of Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion. Rui'an Great Elder Princess was very familiar with it, so she walked into the yard without even asking Madam of Duke Xing to lead the way.

Madam of Duke Xing's forehead began to sweat. She knew that this matter was not easy to deal with. But if this was not the case, what could she do? Would she recommend a master? What's more, she still did not know who had done this.

Who could not get along with Shao Wanru and her and was looking for trouble? Thinking about the incident that happened in that yard, Madam of Duke Xing was extremely sad.

However, not only Old Madam, even Duke Xing was also asking her whether she did it. If she did so, wouldn't it be like stabbing her own heart?

Shao Wanru was not so important that Madam of Duke Xing would put a knife into her own heart and burn down the courtyard that she had prepared for her son for so many years.

After a short pause, she hurried inside.

In the main room, Great Elder Princess had spoken with Old Madam. Judging from Elder Princess's aggressive manner, it was obvious that Old Madam had suffered a setback again.

"Great Elder Princess, you can't be so unreasonable. We can't find out the truth. It is the work of two servant girls. Do you really want us the whole Duke Xing's Mansion to take up this responsibility? No one had any idea this would happen to Fifth Miss. Our mansion also lost a lot of things and the yard had been carefully prepared!"

Old Madam did not look well. Early in the morning, she thought she could sleep peacefully, but she had been rudely awakened. When the Great Elder Princess came over, she was interrogated again. No one would be in a good mood after this.

She was even more certain that Shao Wanru was a trouble maker and created a lot of problems for their home.

It was better not to recognize this granddaughter and let her be stranded in the outside world.

"Do you want to compensate my granddaughter's life with that of the two servant girls?" Great Elder Princess said with a gloomy face and then she stood up. "In this case, let us report this matter to the Empress Dowager Queen now."

"Great Elder Princess, this is a private affair in my manor. Your granddaughter is the Fifth Young Lady of our manor. Don't I care about her? Will I just watch her being bullied by the maids? I have already sent the two servant girls to the yamen. The two girls admitted that they were the ones who started the fire. Even in front of the Empress Dowager Queen, I would say the same thing."

Old Madam Dowager stared at Great Elder Princess and said this with confidence.

Sending them to the officials meant that Duke Xing's Mansion was being magnanimous. How this matter would be dealt with was entirely up to the officials and no one could find fault with it. Although everyone thought that this matter had something to do with Duke Xing's Mansion, now it was handled by the officials.

"Good... good... good, you actually pushed this matter to the officials. There is someone who is not managing the family well in the mansion, right?" Rui'an Great Elder Princess knew the twists and turns of this matter clearly. She was angry at the shamelessness of this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Duke Xing. At this time, she did not intend to just sit down and have a good talk, so she turned to go out.

They had embarrassed her granddaughter to such an extent. No matter what, she would not let them off so easily.

"Great Elder Princess, what happened between you and our mansion has been a continuous problem for the Empress Dowager Queen. Aren't you afraid that Empress Dowager Queen will find it troublesome?" Seeing that the matter was going to blow up again, Old Madam severely stabbed Great Elder Princess with words.

However, Rui'an Great Elder Princess ignored her and left angrily with her servants. Madam of Duke Xing chased after her for a few steps, but did not catch up with her. Then she helplessly stomped her feet and came back to discuss with Old Madam.

"Mother, what should we do? If Empress Dowager Queen asks about it, what should we say?" Madam of Duke Xing was in a panic. Because she had never been strong before Great Elder Princess.

In the beginning, it was for the sake of Princess Qinhua and now it was for Shao Wanru. It seemed that Rui'an Great Elder Princess had a bad relationship with Duke Xing's Mansion.

"Let her go. We will say that this matter has been investigated by the authorities and it has nothing to do with us. Even though it seems a little odd for two servant girls to plot against a new master, it is common in the Vast Thousand Worlds. It is not impossible for this to happen."

Old Madam said coldly while raising her eyebrows.

"Yes, mother, I know. But Empress Dowager Queen will think that we are causing trouble time and again..." Madam of Duke Xing was still worried and said hurriedly after pacing up and down a few times.

"What should we do? We are not the ones creating a scene in front of the Empress Dowager Queen. It is the Great Elder Princess who is stirring up trouble and always going to the palace. She should be blamed."

Old Madam said this confidently.

"You are right, mother. But the relationship between Empress Dowager Queen and Great Elder Princess has always been good. In addition to the things happened in the past... She always sides with Great Elder Princess. Maybe she will call us into the palace again in a while!" Madam of Duke Xing said with a look of fear and panic on her face.

Seeing this, Old Madam became increasingly angry. She thought that Rui'an Great Elder Princess had gone too far. It was originally such a small thing and she had blown it up to be like this, which would make Duke Xing's Mansion the laughing stock in the capital city.

"Come on, let us go to the imperial palace!" Old Madam stood up with a gloomy face and snorted. "She is going to look for the Empress Dowager Queen. We will look for the Empress Queen."

Seeing Old Madam's rage, Madam of Duke Xing hurriedly said, "Yes, mother, please get ready first. I will order the carriage!" She took a few people back to her courtyard first and then asked someone to get the carriage ready to enter the palace.

The Empress Queen was a relative of Old Madam. Although they were distantly related, at least the Empress Queen still recognized Old Madam and she used to be very polite and respectful to Old Madam.

The Empress Queen received the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the side hall. She looked sympathetic after hearing what had happened, "Is it in the government's hands now?"

"Yes, they have already been sent to the government. The government will inform us when they find out the truth." Madam of Duke Xing respectfully reported. Of course, she would not say that the conclusion was made only yesterday and had been reported to the government last night. The servant girls admitted their mistakes so they were directly interrogated. She had thought about the details and was able to answer the question.

"Since this matter is being investigated by the officials, although your mansion seems to be shirking the responsibility, it is reasonable. Great Elder Princess cannot be so unbending.”

The Empress Queen smiled gently and said. She was standing on the side of Duke Xing's Mansion.

Madam of Duke Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and her face relaxed a little.

"You are right, Queen. But Great Elder Princess does not like our manor. No one wants whatever that had happened in the past to take place. Something happened to Princess Qinghua and my son also got into trouble. Who can be blamed? Great Elder Princess hates our manor because of what happened at that time. If there is any trouble, she will make a big deal out of it. I hope Empress Queen can deal with it justly."

Old Madam pretended to be wronged and wiped away her tears. She wanted the Empress Queen to give her a definite answer.

"Don't worry, Old Madam. Since I already know about this, I still have to listen to the Empress Dowager Queen's question." The Empress Queen said with a smile, trying to comfort her. However, what she said was not certain, so there was some difference between Old Madam's expectation and the Empress Queen's words.

Old Madam was disappointed and wanted to say something, but a palace maid came in and reported in a hurry, "Empress Dowager Queen invites the Empress Queen, Madam of Duke Xing and Old Madam to come."

"Empress Queen..." Madam of Duke Xing looked at the Empress imploringly.

"Since we have been summoned by the Empress Dowager Queen, let us go there together!" The Empress stood up gracefully and led the others out.

Old Madam and Madam of Duke Xing looked at each other and had to follow her.

In the Empress Dowager Queen's Palace of Benevolent Peace, Rui'an Great Elder Princess sat beside her angrily and glared at Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion and her daughter-in-law.

The few of them curtsied and the Empress Dowager Queen asked them to take a seat.

The Empress Queen sat down by the Empress Dowager Queen's side. She looked at the Empress Dowager Queen who did not look well and asked with concern, "Does Empress Dowager Queen not feel well? Have you asked the imperial physician to examine you? Why do you look so sick?"

"What do you think about the matter of Duke Xing's Mansion?" The Empress Dowager Queen waved her hand, indicating that she was fine. She glanced at the face of the Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion with a poker face.

"Empress Dowager Queen, since this matter has been dealt with by the government, just leave it to the government. You are not in good health, so you do not have to worry about this thing!" The Empress Queen smiled softly and touched the Empress Dowager Queen's teacup to check the temperature. Then she picked up the teapot and poured some hot water into the cup for Empress Dowager Queen.

"Does your mansion have nothing to do with this matter?" The Empress Dowager Queen did not care much about the attentive behavior of the Empress Queen, and her eyes fell on the face of the Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion.

"So... I am also..." Old Madam did not expect that Empress Dowager Queen would be so direct this time. She was stunned for a moment and then stood up in panic.

"Forget it. We can't figure out this matter now. Both you and Great Elder Princess should give way to each other. Even if this matter is solved in this way, it is ok for the officials to show up. However, Duke Xing's Mansion need to apologize to Great Elder Princess. You should be responsible for the crime of lax supervision. How can such a thing happen as soon as the daughter of the greater branch comes back?"

The Empress Dowager Queen's face became even more cold. She had arrived at a conclusion directly without asking Old Madam to speak more.

Her words made Old Madam of Duke Xing totter and Madam of Duke Xing hurriedly reached out to hold Old Madam.

"What is wrong? Do you think it is serious?" Empress Dowager Queen frowned and looked at Old Madam, whose face had changed greatly.

Old Madam bowed her head to hide the anger in her eyes and replied respectfully. "I dare not... When I get back, I will prepare a gift as an apology to Great Elder Princess!"

The Empress Dowager Queen's face softened and she said earnestly, "That is good. You two are in-laws and now you have Shao Wanru. You will also have a close relationship in the future. How can you enter the palace and quarrel from time to time? What will the officials and dignitaries say?"

There were already servants who came to help the trembling Old Madam of Duke Xing sit down.

"Such a good girl. Just by looking at her, you can tell she is so adorable. If I have such a granddaughter, I will definitely wake up with laughter even in my dreams. She is so healthy, beautiful and bright!"

The Empress Dowager Queen sighed and rubbed her forehead and her face looked tired. Thinking of Prince Chen fainting again, Old Madam suddenly understood.
