The matter of the wangfei's departure caused a huge commotion in the prince's mansion. It was just that on the surface, Gu Junxiu acted like nothing happened and did not laugh at all.

With regards to the reason why Ruan Xiaonuan left the Duke Palaces, they had made many guesses. Without exception, all of these things were related to Liu Yingxue. Although he felt very shamed by her actions of stealing her sister's man, she didn't say it out loud. Because she might soon become the master of the manor, they did not dare to go against her.

Naturally, someone from my side spread this to the Tzu Ning Palace, so the moment Gu Junxiu went into the imperial court, he was summoned to the Tzu Ning Palace.

"Xiu'er, I heard that wangfei has returned to the Residence of General? Is this for real? " the Empress Mother asked without turning a corner.

"It's true, mother." Gu Junxiu said truthfully, he did not have any intention to hide it.

The empress dowager seemed to be extremely puzzled. Back then, he had used all sorts of methods to make Ruan Xiaonuan his wangfei. It had only been a month, how could it have changed?

"Why did you ask her to leave?" she asked.

"mother, your son wishes to receive a concubine." His face was frighteningly calm without the slightest hint of happiness.

Her Majesty understood this reason, because this was how she had come. So after roughly understanding the reason why Ruan Xiaonuan left the Duke Palaces, he immediately disliked her even more. She heavily placed the cup down and said in a stern voice, "As a wangfei, for you to leave the palace without reason, is that not proper? Xiu'er, if she doesn't want to come back, then don't worry about her. "

"mother is right." Gu Junxiu replied obediently. Today, he did not have the slightest intention to plead for Ruan Xiaonuan.

When the Empress Dowager saw that her son was finally no longer under her spell, her smile grew wider. He asked curiously, "The concubine Xiu'er wants to build is a girl from which clan?"

The Prince's concubine was not like ordinary families, they also needed to see her family background. Therefore, in order to win over the Prince, many aristocratic families, even those in concubine, would flock to him like a flock of ducks.

However, when the empress dowager was brimming with joy, when he heard that Ruan Xiaonuan was involved, his face turned pale white. She disapprovingly said, "There are so many girls, why must you provoke them? Why have I never heard of Princess Yu having a sister? "

"Previously, when she was out in the open, we ran into her the last time we went to the river. She has been living in the Prince's Mansion ever since. " What Gu Junxiu saw explained Liu Yingxue's identity, was only a fabrication.

The empress dowager thought for a moment, then sighed. "Forget it, no matter who she is, as long as you don't have to guard a Ruan Xiaonuan, it'll be fine."

Gu Junxiu's thin lips were pressed into a line as he lowered his head and did not speak. Apart from his cold face, he was in a bad mood, so he didn't know anything else.

"When will you bring her in? Although she is already living in the Duke Palaces, he is after all, a concubine, so we cannot discard our manners. " After the empress dowager finished speaking, Gu Junxiu nodded his head but did not express any enthusiasm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Empress, why do I feel like Prince doesn't seem like he wants to marry a concubine?" Gui mama said strangely after he left.

"That's Xiu'er's own problem. It's not good for an old woman like me to ask too many questions." The empress dowager had obviously felt it as well, but she didn't put it to heart.

"Miss Liu, your Luoyue House is much better than my Clear River Restaurant." Chu Ying laughed and asked, she walked up and down and pretended to look at the furnishings in the house.

Liu Yingxue knew that there were hidden meanings in her words, she slightly raised her eyes, and jokingly said, "If Miss Chu sees anything, you can just take it."

"I dare not, Miss Liu is about to become a concubine, how could I dare to take your things?" Her words were strange and made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Your ears are really sharp. You actually knew about something that didn't even have one word in it." Liu Yingxue did not mention anything about the promise she had made before.

In the end, he was forced to a corner and could only worry about it, hence he asked straightforwardly, "Back then, we had agreed that after Ruan Xiaonuan left, we would serve the Duke together. Could it be that you want to go back on your words?"

"How could I forget? However, this time, it was all because of me, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with you. " Liu Yingxue was also not someone to be trifled with. Whether or not she could successfully become the concubine was an unknown matter, and there was no way that he would give her any promises, lest she was harmed by the time.

Chu Ying recalled the words that Ruan Xiaonuan had said that day, and she was momentarily at a loss as to whether she should believe her or just directly reveal her cards. After thinking for a while, she decided to go straight to the point, "What you mean is that I have abandoned me? Aren't you afraid that I'll go to the Prince and reveal everything that happened to you? "

In any case, she didn't have much of a feeling of being with Gu Junxiu, so it wouldn't be bad even if he was in a terrible situation. Unexpectedly, she wasn't even able to threaten Liu Yingxue at all. She laughed a few times and said to her, "If you really think this is useful, go ahead and speak whatever you want. I definitely won't stop you."

Chu Ying's expression became extremely ugly. She pointed at Liu Yingxue but was unable to say anything. In the end, she flicked her sleeves and left. Her footsteps were several times faster than when she first arrived.

Ruan Xiaonuan acted like she had completely forgotten the fact that she was a wangfei. When she was at the Prime Minister's residence, she either walked around with Guan Chen or gave him advice.

From the news that Gu Junxiu had received from the shadow guard, it seemed that the wangfei had bought some sort of jewelry and invented some kind of new dish in the Wang Jiang Restaurant. He endured the urge to not go to the Prime Minister's residence. However, whenever he saw this news, he would immediately rush to the Prime Minister's residence and interrogate her.

Ruan Xiaonuan did not know what happened at all. She and Madam Guan had just finished looking at the portrait and were discussing which family's young master was more suitable for Guan Chen. She didn't notice that the female lead, whom they were discussing, had a twisted expression on her face.

"I feel that the young master of the Lin Clan is not bad. He looks like a genius with vast knowledge. Although his family background is a bit lacking, he still has an official position." The Madam Guan said.

Ruan Xiaonuan also nodded, she never knew that when the woman picked a husband, she would also be able to see the portrait. Although she could not see through Sir Lin's talents, she still nodded with respect and agreed, "Mother is right. Sir Lin is an upstanding person, even if his background is a bit lacking, but in the future he will treat Third Sis well."
