Long Live the Empress

Chapter 116: Monthly Silver Break

"What does the Ninth Prince want to see my daughter for?" Yue Jinghao asked Yan Liyuan, who was resting with his eyes closed. He came to my house, so there must be something important.

What could Yan Liyuan ask her for? So he asked casually, "How is the plan going?"

In fact, this is a very bad question. The prince has already broken off the engagement with Yue Jinghao. Doesn’t it obvious that things are going smoothly?

Yue Jinghao didn't dare to say that. Yan Liyuan had a bad temper and might kill her in a fit of rage. "Return to the Ninth Thousand Year Old, everything goes well!"

Yan Liyuan could see that Yue Jinghao was cursing him in her heart, but he pretended not to know and continued to close his eyes and rest.

Yue Jinghao waited for Yan Liyuan to ask again, but even when they were near Yue Mansion, Yan Liyuan did not speak again.

Wang Yizai reported from outside the carriage, "Miss Yue, we are almost there!"

Yue Jinghao is now playing the role of a woman who is disliked by others, so the lower the profile, the better.

Yue Jinghao twitched her lips. Why didn't he consider her when he parked the gold-carved carriage in front of the Xu Mansion? But she still smiled and said, "Thank you, my Lord. I'll take my leave now!"

Yan Liyuan hummed coldly, and Yue Jinghao got off the carriage and got on her own green-topped carriage. When she lifted the curtain, there was no trace of the gold-carved carriage outside.

Yue Jinghao had just returned home when she saw Yue Jinghong coming out of the old lady's room. She came to greet her from a distance, "Where have you been, big sister? I advise you not to leave the house at this time. If someone recognizes you... you will be in trouble!"

Yue Jinghao looked at Yue Jinghong's exquisitely dressed face and smiled slightly, "Where did you come back from, second sister? There are many things going on in our house now, second sister, you should be more careful. After all, second sister is too beautiful, it's not good to attract too much attention!"

Yue Jinghong brushed her face and smiled embarrassedly: "Alas, there is nothing I can do. My beauty is given by God, unlike big sister... Hehe... By the way, Wan Jinxiang has just released a new rouge. Big sister, go buy a few boxes and apply it. Maybe it will add a good color. Big sister, don't be reluctant to spend money!"

This statement couldn't be clearer! Even if Yue Jinghao applied the best rouge, she would only look a little better than she does now, and could not be compared with Yue Jinghong's beauty!

Before Yue Jinghao could refute, she heard the sound of broken porcelain coming from the old lady's room, followed by the old lady's scolding, "If you have nothing to do, go and serve Su and Tianhong! A concubine's daughter dares to ridicule the legitimate daughter, it's outrageous! Aunt Zhang, from today on, cut off the second lady's monthly allowance, let's see what she can use to buy rouge! If anyone dares to give her money secretly, I will break his legs!"

In front of the maids and servants, the old lady didn't give Yue Jinghong any face, which made Yue Jinghong angry and ashamed, and her hatred for Yue Jinghao increased. Concubine... Concubine... Will this title accompany her for the rest of her life? No, she was unwilling...

Yue Jinghao walked past Yue Jinghong, who had a resentful look on her face, and entered the old lady's room.

The ground was a mess. Several maids were carefully picking up broken porcelain pieces. The old lady was sitting in the main seat, breathing heavily.

Yue Jinghao didn't even bother to salute, and quickly stepped forward to calm the old lady down personally, "Grandma, don't be angry. Second sister is still young and ignorant. Grandma, please forgive her, okay?"

"She is only a few months younger than you, but she is not half as sensible as you! She used to be smart, how could she become like this? It's really hard for Jing'er!" The old lady had high expectations for Yue Jinghong, but now she can see that Yue Jinghong's heart is not in the Yue Mansion...

"Grandma, don't think too much. As long as father can be reinstated, Jing'er will be fine! Besides, my second sister has lived in my grandparents' home for so long, it's normal for her to be close to them. Who knows, our Yue Mansion may have to ask Lord Su for help in the future!" Yue Jinghao could see the old lady's dissatisfaction with Yue Jinghong, so she planted a seed of doubt in the old lady's heart.

The old lady didn't answer, but she was thinking about Yue Jinghao's words in her heart. The Su family relied on Yue Hanwen to get to where they are today, but now it's the other way around. If Yue Hanwen relies on the Su family, I'm afraid the result won't be very good. So she has to rely on Yue Jinghao's ideas...

The old lady held Yue Jinghao's hand and sighed for a while. Yue Jinghao listened respectfully, but her heart was cold...

Yue Jinghong in the yard saw Yue Jinghao go to the old lady's room, so she also shook her handkerchief and returned to her own yard. She took out the jade pendant from the secret compartment and stroked it carefully...
