Elder Madam Gong thought about it and felt that it made sense. She smiled and said to the two of them, “You don’t know yet, but it’s Princess Yichun’s family and the Prince Consort’s family. These two families just heard that the palace is choosing their children to enter the palace as study companions. In order to let their children enter the palace to study with them, the families almost broke their heads.”

“There’s actually such a thing, but among the children who entered the palace to study with him this time, there’s no one from Princess Yichun’s family or the Prince Consort’s family?” Madam Gong said.

Madam Dagong smiled and nodded. “Yes, this matter even spread to the palace. For this matter, the Empress Dowager even issued a decree to reprimand the two families and let them settle their family matters.”

Madam Gong nodded. “It’s time to control them well. Look at those descendants of the imperial family. Most of them are fighting over one another. They haven’t done a good thing.”

“Yes!” Madam Dagong smiled and nodded. “The banquet has begun. Let’s go over!”

After the few of them went over and sat down, they had just started eating when people served the dishes one after another. After eating for a while, an old woman walked to Li Yu’s side and bowed. “Madam Li, my Princess Consort invites you to the wedding room. She wants to see you.”

Li Yu looked at her indifferently. “I’m sorry, it’s not convenient for me to enter the wedding room these days.”

The old woman was stunned for a moment. She smiled awkwardly and said, “Oh! Sorry to disturb you.” With that, she retreated.

Madam Gong glanced at the old woman who had retreated and whispered to Li

Yu, “That’s Granny Yan Xi. Why is she looking for you?”

Li Yu lowered her eyes and said, “She said that her County Princess wanted to see me. I rejected her. I’ll tell you when I got back.”

Madam Gong nodded and looked back at Granny Yan Xi before turning back to eat wine.

Granny Yan Xi returned to the wedding room and said to Yu Yan, who was wearing a phoenix crown and wedding clothes, “Princess Consort, Madam Li said that it’s not convenient for her to enter the wedding room.”

Yu Yan nodded casually. “Got it. You can leave!”

Granny Yan Xi looked at her in surprise and left.

Yu Yan looked down at the red pattern on her nails and said in a low voice, “You don’t dare to see me, but I want to see you!”

After the banquet, Li Yu and the Gong sisters bade farewell and left. On the way back, Li Yu told the Gong sisters briefly about the Yu family.

When the Gong sisters heard this, they sighed and said, “That’s what concubines are like. When their status is low, they want to take another step forward. After taking another step forward, they want to take another step forward. County Lieutenant Yu is even worse. He depends on his wife and uses her silver to raise his concubine. He even asked her to be magnanimous and not fuss about it. Such a beast is not worthy of being a husband and father.”

Elder Madam Gong thought for a moment and said to Li Yu, “Ah Yu, once a despicable person like Madam Yu succeeds, as long as she meets someone with a lower status than her who has seen her unbearable side, she will definitely take revenge. Ah Yu, you’re not worried about this but I think she will definitely want to show off to you.”

Li Yu smiled. “Aunt, the Regional King’s Mansion isn’t in contact with the Zhou family. As long as she doesn’t disturb me, I can’t be bothered with her.”

Madam Gong said disdainfully, “Ah Yu, you don’t have to care about such a person at all! If she had been outside all this time, she could have been a mistress to Duke Fu. With that status, the Duke’s heir and his wife might not have attacked her yet. Now that she has coaxed Duke Fu into marrying her and doting on her like this, the heir and his wife will definitely deal with her. A person like her who thinks she’s smart will know that the Duke’s Mansion is not a good place to stay in less than half a year.”

Elder Madam Gong nodded. “That’s right! Duke Fu has spent his entire life fooling around. Could it be that he has become infatuated? Could it be that he has been poisoned by the infatuation poison of Miaojiang!”

Madam Gong laughed when she heard that. “Cousin, you’ve seen too much when you’re a girl. There’s no such thing as infatuation poison.”

Elder Madam Gong also laughed when she heard that. Li Yu looked at the two of them and said with a smile, “Maybe he was drugged and controlled.”

“Ah Yu, is there really a bewitching drug in the world?” the Gong sisters asked in surprise.

“I saw it in a book.” Li Yu spread her hands and smiled.

There was no Ecstasy. What controlled people were nothing more than addictive drugs, such as opium poppy, marijuana, and Five Stones Powder.

The next day, on the ninth day of September, Zhou Jia and Li Yu brought the three children to the hot spring manor.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the manor, Zhou Jia got out of the carriage with Li Yu. He pointed at the small hill in front of him and said to Li Yu, “At that time, Ruyi and the others often ran up to play. They cultivated while I studied. If I had known earlier, I would have cultivated with them.”

Li Yu glanced at him. “We can’t do much with posits. Let’s not talk about the past. You’ve been learning from me for so long all these years, but I’ve never seen you make a name for yourself.”

Zhou Jia laughed dryly. “Wifey, aren’t I busy with work?!”

Li Yu rolled her eyes at him. Yangyang looked at Zhou Jia gloatingly. “Father,

Mother despises you. Look, I’ve already surpassed you. You have to work hard!”

Zhou Jia bared his teeth and walked towards Yangyang. “Little baddie, how dare you add fuel to the fire.”

“Aiyo! Father is so scary. I have to escape quickly.” Yangyang turned around and ran. Zhou Jia smiled and chased after him.

Li Yu looked at the father and son running into the manor one after another. She returned to the carriage and looked at Yueyue and Xingxing who were being carried by Granny Chen and Xing Hua. “Father and Brother ran away.

Let’s chase after them.”

When the twins saw Li Yu coming over, they reached out and pounced at her. Li

Yu carried one in each hand. “Let’s go! I’ll bring you to play with water.”

Zhou Jia chased Yangyang into the manor. When he entered, he saw a large area under the courtyard wall with fiery red festive Chinese roses and a cluster of Xiangfei bamboo in the corner of the courtyard.

Atter entermg tne second cloor, ne walKea past tne corridor ana walKea to tne back. He passed through the corner door and followed the cobblestone path forward to the hot spring pool. Zhou Jia saw that the two pools were already separated by a flower wall. Purple flowers that he did not recognize bloomed on the wall.

Li Yu carried the two children to the side of the hot spring and saw Yangyang floating in the pool in a small coat. When he saw Li Yu coming over, he pointed at the flower wall and said, “Mother, that’s where you women soak.” Li Yu smiled and rolled her eyes at him. “Stupid child, where’s your father?”

“Daddy went back to change his clothes,” Yangyang said and waved at Yueyue and Xingxing proudly. “Yue’er, Xing’er, come quickly. I’ll bring you to play with water.”

The two of them looked at him and cried out. Zhou Jia walked over from the hot spring in a short coat and the knee-length shorts Li Yu had made for him. Li Yu handed the two children who were playing with the water to him. “I’ll leave the children to you today. I have to play leisurely for a while.”

Zhou Jia took the children and sighed at the two of them. “Sigh! The three of us are despised by your mother.”

Li Yu smiled and waved at them. She turned around and returned to the courtyard. She took her clothes and walked out of the house. Granny Chen reported from outside, “Madam, there’s a Madam outside who wants to see you.”

She came as soon as she arrived at the manor. Could it be that someone was watching her family? Li Yu frowned and said, “Did she say who she was?”

Granny Chen shook her head. “She didn’t say who she was. She only said that she was an old friend of yours..”
