Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 235 Complaint

Princess Qiongyu stood beside Yun Fuling at this time and answered her questions: "She is Cui Yajing, the daughter of Duke Cheng'en. Because she was favored by the Empress Dowager, she was given the title of Princess."

Although they are both princesses, Princess Qiongyu has royal blood and is naturally superior to Cui Yajing.

When Yun Fuling learned that Cui Yajing's surname was Cui, she guessed that this Cui might come from Empress Dowager Cui.

Generally speaking, as a sign of favor, the empress's maternal family would be given the title of Marquis of Cheng'en, and the empress dowager's maternal family would be given the title of Duke of Cheng'en.

Accept the grace, accept the grace, accept the grace from heaven.

Just by hearing their titles, one can tell that these two branches are foreign relatives.

Both Concubine Cui and Empress Dowager Cui were from the Cheng'en Mansion. Their blood relationship made them natural allies, so the Cheng'en Mansion would certainly support the third prince born to Concubine Cui.

The Third Prince has always regarded Xiao Jingyi as a thorn in his side and wished to get rid of him as soon as possible and remove this stumbling block that was blocking him from becoming the crown prince.

The two sides are hostile, but Cui Yajing likes Xiao Jingyi.

There's nothing wrong with liking someone.

However, even though she knew that she could not break free from the shackles of her family and that she and Xiao Jingyi were destined to be on different paths, she still couldn't let it go.

Moreover, those thoughts cannot be hidden at all, and I wish everyone could know about them.

This is a bit self-humiliating.

Yun Fuling walked up to Cui Yajing and looked down at her.

Such a brainless idiot wants to compete with her for Xiao Jingyi?

I'm not even worthy of being her opponent!

Yun Fuling said in a cold voice: "From now on, I will not treat anyone from the Cheng'en Mansion!"

"The same goes for you two!" Yun Fuling turned her head to look at Cui Yajing's two companions beside her.

Cui Yajing bit her lip, holding on to her pride, and sneered, "Who cares!"

After saying this, she stood up and left on her own without the need for the maids to carry her out.

The Cheng'en Mansion is the Empress Dowager's maternal home, and the imperial physicians from the palace's Imperial Hospital are available upon summons.

Even if someone in their Cheng'en Mansion fell ill, there would be imperial physicians to treat them. Why would they ask Yun Fuling for help?

Cui Yajing's two companions turned pale in an instant, looking ashen.

The others present did not expect Yun Fuling to say such cruel words.

Looking at Cui Yajing's disdainful look, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

What a stupid person he is, to be so short-sighted.

The Cheng'en Mansion is indeed powerful because it relies on Empress Dowager Cui.

But even the most powerful people in this world cannot escape birth, aging, sickness and death.

Yun Fuling's medical skills were praised even by Ouyang Yuanzheng of the Imperial Hospital.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talking about today’s full moon banquet, if Yun Fuling hadn’t performed the cesarean section, how could Madam Chu have given birth to a pair of twins safely?

I heard that before the birth, even Ouyang Yuanzheng asserted that the birth would not go smoothly, and it might even result in one death and three deaths!

Even Ouyang Yuanzheng couldn't do it, but Yun Fuling did it.

People get sick from eating grains, who knows when Yun Fuling will be the one to suffer the consequences?

Even if the Cheng'en Mansion could invite all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital, what if the disease couldn't be cured even by the doctors, and only Yun Fuling could?

So it’s better not to be too confident!

It’s a pity that Cui Yajing doesn’t understand this truth.

Although Cui Yajing's incident occurred, fortunately no trouble was caused and everyone's interest was not disturbed.

However, the second lady of the Cheng'en Mansion, who came with Cui Yajing, immediately went to Yun Fuling to apologize after learning the whole story.

Yun Fuling had already said all the harsh words. Although she would not vent her anger on Madam Cui Er because of Cui Yajing, they were family after all. Therefore, Yun Fuling just responded with a few cold words and left with an excuse.

When Mrs. Cui saw this, she knew that Cui Yajing had seriously offended Yun Fuling.

She was annoyed with Cui Yajing, a troublemaker who never did any work all day and only caused trouble for the Cheng'en Mansion.

Cui Yajing is a narrow-minded and vindictive person.

When she returned to the Cui family, she didn't know how to find her mother, Lady Cheng'en, to complain!

By then, maybe even I would be implicated.

Mrs. Cui felt a headache when she thought of the mother and daughter who were unreasonable and would argue even without any reason.

Anyway, she has already apologized to Princess Yi. As for whether Princess Yi accepts it or not, it is none of her business.

Madam Cui didn't care about anything else at the moment. After saying goodbye to Madam Chu, she hurried back to Duke Cheng'en's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at Haitang Courtyard where the wife of Duke Cheng'en lived, she heard Cui Yajing's voice complaining at the door.

Mrs. Cui clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Things turned out exactly as she expected.

The little maid at the door announced, "The Second Madam is here," and then lifted the door curtain.

The voices in the room stopped instantly.

Mrs. Cui took a deep breath and then stepped over the threshold and walked in.

As soon as they met, Mrs. Cui was shocked by the injuries on Cui Yajing's face.

Half of Cui Yajing's cheek was red and swollen, and five finger marks were clearly visible. It was obvious that the person who attacked her had used a lot of force.

Madam Cui Er only knew that Cui Yajing had spoken rudely and offended Princess Yi, who happened to be bumped into by County Lord Qiongyu and Princess Changle, so she was taught a lesson. Princess Yi also announced that she would not visit Duke Cheng'en's mansion for treatment in the future.

She didn't know that Cui Yajing was slapped.

But who gave this slap?

Could it be Princess Yi?

When Lady Cheng'en saw Madam Cui Er come in without saying a word, neither asking for forgiveness nor explaining the reason, her face instantly became even gloomier.

"Ms. Dong, I handed Yajing over to you and asked you to take her to the banquet. Is this how you take care of her?"

"She was bullied in the Chu family and came back with a wounded face. Do you think you can be proud of it?"

When Madam Cui Er saw that the wife of Duke Cheng'en directly called her "Mrs. Dong", a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

But who can blame her for being the wife of Duke Cheng'en, the mistress of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, while she is only the wife of the Second Master, and the entire Second House depends on Duke Cheng'en.

Madam Cui II concealed all the emotions in her eyes, bowed and apologized, "Sister-in-law, it's all my fault. I was careless and let Yajing escape from under my nose."

"But I really didn't expect that she would be so bold as to insult Princess Yi behind her back."

"I also know what Yajing is thinking. She only wants to marry His Royal Highness Prince Yi, so she naturally dislikes Princess Yi."

"But Yajing is not a child anymore. She should know the limits of what she says and does. You can let her do whatever she wants in your own home. Anyway, who among the servants in this mansion dares to go to Prince Yi's mansion to expose her?"

"But when you go out, you still have to be careful about what you say and do!"

"Ya Jing was unlucky today. She was caught cursing someone behind their back, and Princess Changle happened to run into her too."

"His Royal Highness Prince Yi was raised by Princess Changle when he was a child, and they have a special bond."

"Princess Changle has always been protective of her own people, so naturally she will protect Princess Yi."
