"Snapped!"

Chen Guang struck the ground with his whip and shouted at the people who were still lingering in the yard: "Why don't you go back to your room? Are you waiting for the whip?"

Upon hearing this, Su Biwen, Zhang Wulang and others immediately stood up and walked to their rooms.

Song Zhuoxing couldn't refuse and put the medicine bottle into Cui Hengyue's hand, whispered "Be careful Luo Sanniang", and called Runzhu back to the room.

Cui Hengyue was stunned in place while holding the medicine bottle.

Why did he ask her to be careful about Luo Sanniang?

Yun Lin said that Luo Sanniang was very similar to the man in black in Wenshu Pavilion. Maybe Luo Sanniang was the man in black.

In any case, it was because the man in black lured Yun Lin away that she could successfully return to the side hall. If Luo Sanniang was the man in black, she should thank Luo Sanniang.

"What, you don't know where to go?"

Yun Chen suddenly appeared next to Cui Hengyue, his eyes constantly glancing at her hands.

Cui Hengyue immediately held the medicine bottle tightly to prevent Yun Chen from seeing the bottle: "Of course I know."

She snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the North Cave.

Yun Chen laughed silently, and then ordered the guard: "Take care of the yard."

Then he said to Luo Sanniang and others: "You continue to work. After you finish your work, go to the dining hall to eat meat."

Seeing Yun Chen looking over, Luo Sanniang lowered her head in a hurry, not daring to look at him.

In the past, eating meat was something she never dared to think about in the South Hall, but today, because she did not participate in a fight, she could eat meat. It was simply unbelievable.

When Cui Hengyue and Li Bier were fighting, she originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack Cui Hengyue, because after she followed Xie Yu's instructions and confessed to him, she was released unharmed, so she wanted to continue to repay her kindness.

After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong, so I just waited and watched.

Sure enough, those who participated in the fight were punished. Fortunately, she waited a moment longer and escaped.

...

Cui Hengyue returned to the North Cave.

Qionghua hadn't seen her for a few days, so she was inevitably worried, but she felt a little relieved when she saw that although she was injured, it was not serious.

"Yueyue, you never came back after you went out that day. The guard told me that you went to Guanyin Pavilion to stay for a few days. What happened?" Qionghua asked Cui Hengyue while giving medicine.

"Well... I just think Guanyin Pavilion is quite high, and I want to stay there for a few days to get a feel for it."

Cui Hengyue explained casually and asked Qionghua: "Did you know that Cui Quan has two enemies, one named Li and the other named Su?"

"Yueyue, how can you call Duke Jingguo by his first name? He is your grandfather." Qionghua looked at Cui Hengyue in surprise, feeling that she didn't recognize her.

In Qionghua's memory, although Cui Hengyue had few opportunities to see his wife and her every year, under his wife's guidance, Cui Hengyue became knowledgeable, courteous, humble and respectful, and was on par with the ladies from aristocratic families outside.

But now Cui Hengyue calls his grandfather by his first name, and sometimes calls General Mu and others by their first names. This makes Qionghua have the illusion that the status of these people is far inferior to Cui Hengyue, so Cui Hengyue calls them by their first names.

"I've never been called grandfather before. It's not easy to pronounce."

It was a very casual sentence, but when Qionghua heard it, she felt extremely sad.

She shouldn't question Yueyue. Yueyue is right. It's the Cui family's fault. It's the Cui family that feels sorry for Yue...

Seeing that Qionghua looked sad and seemed to be lost in memories, Cui Hengyue reached out and poked Qionghua's arm: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Oh..." Qionghua came to her senses and pushed back the tears in her eyes: "I have not been with the Cui family for a long time, and I have not heard that Duke Jingguo has any enemies.

"If we talk about political opponents in the court, there are many, and your grandfather is one of them.

"As for whether any of these political opponents have the surname Li or Su, I don't know."

Cui Hengyue's eyes moved. Cui Quan and Wang Dingkun were really political enemies. This was the same as what she heard in her dream. The King of Chu in the dream did not lie to her...

"Are you a servant of the Wang family?" Cui Hengyue suddenly asked.

Although Qionghua felt strange, she still nodded: "Yes."

"Have you followed my grandma since you were a child?"

"yes."

"Some people say that the title of the most beautiful and talented woman in Jinyang was given to my mother by my aunt. Is this true?"

"Nonsense, Er Niang has been smart since she was a child, and she got these titles based on her abilities. Although Yuan Niang has been smart since she was a child, she has suffered a huge blow since she almost fell off a cliff when she was ten years old.

He was so smart before."

Qionghua was very angry when she spoke, but Cui Hengyue understood the key. All changes began when Wang Yuanniang suffered a tragedy when she was ten years old.

Maybe the King of Chu in the dream was right. In order to repay the favor of saving her life, Wang Yuanniang kept a low profile and gave up all the glory to her sister.

"I heard that the royal family wanted to marry into aristocratic families and specified that they would marry my mother-in-law as the queen. Is this true?" Cui Hengyue asked again.

Qionghua thought for a moment: "Back then, the late emperor specified that the most outstanding daughter of the Wang family should be the queen, and the most outstanding daughter of the Wang family was Er Niang, so naturally Er Niang was made the queen.

"But later... Erniang met Cui Sanlang, your father, and they fell in love with each other. Therefore, Erniang was unwilling to marry the late emperor and wanted to marry into the Cui family, so she had a quarrel with the governor and his wife.

.

"The governor disagreed, so the second mother threatened her with death. Finally, the governor became angry and threatened to expel the second mother from the house..."

This matter was very disgraceful, and Qionghua did not want to say too much in front of Cui Hengyue. After all, Wang Erniang was Cui Hengyue's mother, and she wanted to preserve the dignity of a mother.

Cui Hengyue: "After my grandma was kicked out of the Wang family, did my grandfather, grandmother, and uncle really never see my grandma again? Didn't they send anyone to see my grandma?"

"Um..." Qionghua said hesitantly with a complicated expression: "The Governor has strictly ordered the Wang family not to interact with Er Niang, but Madam and Yuan Niang often send people to visit Er Niang in private and give her things.

"But later the Grand Governor discovered her, and the Grand Governor put the wife under house arrest in the mansion, and threatened that anyone who interacted with Er Niang would be kicked out of the Wang family.

"After that, the Wang family broke off all contact with Er Niang..."

Cui Hengyue couldn't help but ask: "What about my aunt? She also broke off contact with my mother-in-law?"

"No."

Mentioning Wang Yuanniang, Qionghua's eyes softened, and her expression was full of gratitude: "Those days were the most difficult days for Er Niang. She was abandoned by her natal family, and her husband's family also neglected her. Only the affection between Yuanniang and Cui Sanlang

It made her feel warm.

"Although the Grand Governor put his wife under house arrest and said such cruel words, Yuan Niang later married into the palace and was not bound by the Grand Governor. She would still send people to the Cui family to visit Er Niang.

"Because Yuanniang is a noble concubine and must be valued by the late emperor, the Cui family does not dare to neglect Er Niang."

Cui Hengyue held her chin up and recalled what King Chu said in her dream, and found that what King Chu said almost matched what Qionghua said.

She checked it carefully and asked again: "Do my mother-in-law and aunt know the King of Chu?"

"We met in the palace before, but we had no contact." Qionghua thought carefully before answering Cui Hengyue's question.
