Chapter 596: The Princess's Instigation and Vicious Plan
Chapter 596: The Princess's Instigation and Vicious Plan
Zhaoming's expression changed slightly, and the contempt on his face turned into dissatisfaction.
"Third brother, what do you mean by asking this? Do you think that Auntie can't distinguish between public and private affairs and is deliberately slandering her?"
Baili Ruyun's expression was indifferent.
She did not want to use such malice to speculate about her own aunt, especially Aunt Zhaoming who had devoted twenty years of her youth to Tianqi.
However, she really didn't like the condescending way she preached to Ziyuan!
Ziyuan was her daughter, so she could say whatever she wanted and scold her, but not others! Even Aunt Zhaoming, whom she had loved and admired since childhood.
"Aunt, San'er didn't mean that. It's just that Ziyan is my daughter. I know her very well. She wouldn't lie!"
"Let's not talk about whether Seventh Brother's wife can bring any precious gifts. Even if she doesn't, San'er will think she has something."
"After all, as you said, the Seventh Brother left Beijing, and the Shu family fell into decline. How could a woman like the Seventh Brother's wife come up with anything good?"
"But, the fact that she has this heart shows that she still understands the ways of the world!"
Zhao Ming's face turned pale. "Third Brother, you are completely on that woman's side now, aren't you?"
"I'm your aunt! I told you to stay away from her because I'm afraid she'd hurt you! I'm doing this for your own good, do you know that?"
"Also, you know how many of the things Ziyuan took away were gifts from the emperor! If the emperor knew about this, how do you think he would react to it?"
"You actually let her take those things!"
"Aren't you afraid that your father will blame you?"
When Baili Ruyun heard this, she understood the purpose of her visit and immediately called Qingyu to take Baili Ziyuan away.
When no one was in the room, she spoke, "Aunt, so what do you think we should do about this so that the emperor won't vent his anger on us?"
Seeing that her expression had relaxed and she was willing to ask for advice humbly, Zhaoming suppressed his anger a little.
"Third brother, I'm not saying anything to you! Don't let others act weak and think she is kind!"
"You have so many imperial gifts in your storehouse. How could she, a woman who has become the Princess of Li, not know about it?"
"Everyone in the world knows that giving something bestowed upon you by the Emperor is a crime of great disrespect!"
"Shu He knew everything, yet he deliberately accepted your things! Doesn't this mean he has ulterior motives towards you?"
Baili Ruyun didn't say anything, but lowered his eyes slightly, as if waiting for her to continue.
"Third brother, your aunt is truly thinking of you! You should hurry to the palace and report to your father before today's incident becomes widely known!"
"That is a gift from the Emperor. Giving it to others is disrespectful. If you want to avoid this disaster, you must strike first to seize the initiative!"
"Ziyuan is young, and she can't tell right from wrong, good from evil. It's understandable that she would be instigated and led into doing something wrong at such a young age!"
"What is unforgivable is those greedy and despicable people who even want to get their hands on the things bestowed by the emperor!"
Baili Ruyun remained silent, with a look of confusion and sadness on her face.
Showa thought that she was speaking up for the seventh child.
"San'er, as long as you say that it was Shu He who was blinded by greed and wanted to take the gift from the emperor!"
"After hearing this, your father will definitely be disgusted with her! Maybe the Seventh Prince won't even have to marry her!"
"How can a country bumpkin like her be worthy of being your seventh brother's wife?"
Baili Ruyun sat opposite her, raised his eyes slightly, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.
"Aunt, how deep is the hatred between you and Seventh Brother's wife? Don't you know that Shu He is Yi'er's mother?"
"Yier, she is Lao Qi's biological daughter!"
Did she really want to see her seventh brother's family happy? Did she hate Shu He so much that she even wanted to push her into eternal damnation?
Zhaoming's face suddenly stiffened. If she couldn't see her true emotions before, she would be stupid if she couldn't hear them after hearing these two sentences!
"Old Three, you still don't believe me?"
Baili Ruyun's face turned cold and disappointed, with a look of alienation that kept people at a distance.
"Aunt, you've changed so much in the past twenty years in Beidi! You've become so different that even San'er doesn't recognize you anymore."
Zhao Ming's face turned blue and red, and he looked unwilling, "You..."
"Aunt, you're still under house arrest, yet you've come to my niece's house so brazenly. If this gets to my father's ears, I'm afraid you won't be released from your house until the eighth brother gets married!"
"The royal hunting trip will be held in a few days. If you still want to participate in this royal hunting trip, then San'er advises you to stay at home!"
Zhaoming really couldn't imagine that she would be humiliated by Baili Ziyuan!
She has always liked her the most and admired her the most, saying that she is the heroine who protects Apocalypse!
But she didn't expect that after just two days, she was played around by Shu He!
"Stupid!" She slammed her palm on the table next to her, her face full of anger. "Stupid!"
After Princess Zhaoming left, he walked in easily, "Princess."
There was a hint of pain and regret in Baili Ruyun's eyes.
"How is Ziyuan doing?"
Qingyu knew she would care about the young county lady, and immediately replied: "I was not in a good mood at first, but I just ate the bread made by Princess Li, and now I feel much better!"
Baili Ruyun was both angry and amused.
This girl!
"Princess, Princess, this is..."
Qingyu had been standing outside and heard their conversation just now.
She was a little worried, wondering if the third princess would be instigated by the eldest princess.
After all, she seemed quite dissatisfied with Princess Li just now.
Baili Ruyun drank the slightly cold tea beside her and sighed silently, "Time will change a person."
Some people will even be changed beyond recognition...
"I didn't really believe what Eleven said before, but now, even if I don't want to believe it, I can't."
Hearing this, Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that the princess could say such words showed that she was not bewitched by the eldest princess.
Her princess is very smart!
