Translator: Artsy

———————-

Hearing Qian Jiujiu's words, Minister Qian was even more confused, but Qian Jiujiu asked bluntly: "I don't know about this matter, does father know about it?"

Qian Shang Shu's heart was perturbed. He was naturally aware of this matter, but wasn't Concubine Wan Qian Jiujiu's mother? Could it be that Qian Jiujiu brought people to make things difficult for the Concubine Wan?

But seeing Mu Yexiao's dark face, it couldn't be that the Prince had discovered the truth? No, no matter what, he had to extract himself from this matter.

Therefore, Qian Shang Shu shook his head very decisively: "What gift? I don't know, why don't you call Concubine Wan over to ask? "

As he said that, he glanced at Qian Jiujiu, but Qian Jiujiu actually shot a glance at him, "Hubby, then let's call Concubine Wan over to ask, and look at this Concubine Wan. What kind of people is she?"

As Qian Jiujiu said this, she glanced at Qian Shang Shu, who could not help but become even more confused. What is Qian Jiujiu trying to do?

Mu Yexiao heard Qian Jiujiu's words and naturally nodded her head, "Then Qian Shang Shu, go and call that Concubine Wan over."

Qian Shang Shu immediately sent someone to go invite her over. Concubine Wan had already received the news last night, so she naturally knew why Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao was here today.

However, once Concubine Wan entered and saw Mu Yexiao's dark expression, she became somewhat apprehensive. However, after seeing Qian Jiujiu's smile, she felt more at ease.

"Master, what orders do you have for me?"

Qian Shang Shu looked at Concubine Wan and felt a wave of regret. This woman was beautiful, he had doted on her for a period of time, but she was his enemy.

At first, he wasn't willing to send Concubine Wan back to that manor. As long as she gave up on Qian Jiujiu, she could stay. However, this woman chose to go to the manor.

Not willing to give up on her own child, Concubine followed Qian Jiujiu and was chased to the manor. Even after she came back, she had never thought of trying to please him.

He looked at the Concubine Wan: "These are Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao."

Aunt Wan's gaze then turned to him. "Greetings, His highness and Her highness."

Mu Yexiao sized up the Concubine Wan, and then looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Jiu'er, you come here, this woman who is writing curses at you. Take care of it yourself. Don't worry. With me behind you, I'll see who dares to go against me."

The moment Mu Yexiao's Aura of a King was released, Qian Shang Shu felt his forehead break out in sweat, and nodded continuously: "Of course, I'll listen to His highness."

Qian Jiujiu glanced at Qian Shang Shu with disdain. Although Concubine Wan was not his legitimate wife, she was still his woman, and had been pushed out so easily.

He wasn't really a man. She didn't know why her mother took a fancy from the start, but she was actually willing to be a concubine for such a man. She was simply blind.

However, although Qian Shangshu despised them, what to do had to be done by his own clan, so Qian Jiujiu pretended to walk in a circle around Concubine Wan, and clicked her tongue twice.

"You're Concubine Wan, aren't you? You look pretty good, and your courage isn't small. Do you know what happens when you curse me?"

Concubine Wan trembled in fear. Seeing that Qian Jiujiu could not say a single word, Qian Jiujiu curled her lips with a face full of disdain: "Your highness, you look. This woman is so timid, she actually dares to curse me. Could there be some hidden meaning behind this?"

Mu Yexiao also nodded seriously, "I thinks so too. Look, just seeing me and you is already enough to scare to this extent. Qian Shang Shu, do you think something is going to happen here?"

Qian Shang Shu's expression was already very unpleasant at this time as he looked at Qian Jiujiu with a somewhat blaming gaze. "His highness, Her highness , when did this happen?If it really Concubine Wan, then I will not cover it up. Men, seize Concubine Wan."

Qian Jiujiu's expression darkened. This Qian Shang Shu had made up his mind to take the blame for Concubine Wan and she couldn't help but twitch her mouth: "Your highness, look, there's someone who doesn't put you in their eyes."

When Mu Yexiao heard this, he scoffed: "Official Qian, you sure are impressive, didn't you hear what I said? I will let the Jiu'er handle this matter. In other words, you don't have the responsibility to care about this anymore."

Qian Shang Shu's face immediately turned pale, it was extremely ugly, but he still waved his hand and ordered everyone to leave.He looked straight at Qian Jiujiu. "Then, why does Your highness plan to handle this matter?"

Looking at Qian Shang Shu's expression, it looked as if he was about to slash and sever everything. There was nothing to hide, it was just punishing Concubine Wan, Qian Jiujiu snorted twice.

She pointed to Concubine Wan and said, "You are quite pitiful. How about this, I will have someone build a buddhist hall for you. You will recite Buddha scripture in the buddhist hall everyday and pray for me. This will be the atonement your crime. Qing Lian, Qing Yu."

When they heard Qian Jiujiu call them, they immediately appeared and knelt down, "This servant is here!"

"Good, you two, stay here and watch Concubine Wan. Have her pray for me every day. If she doesn't listen, or if there's any problems, come back to Prince Manor and tell me."

"People from Prince Manor are not to be bullied by others. Father, what do you think about my arrangement?"

In that moment, Qian Shang Shu finally understood Qian Jiujiu's intention. She was carrying the banner of punishment to protect Concubine Wan, and that way, Qian Jiujiu would not be restricted by them.

He still wanted to say something, but Qian Jiujiu simply looked at him and ignored him. Instead, she looked at Mu Yexiao, and reached out her hand to pull Mu Yexiao's arm.

"Your highness, do you think I should give her this kind of punishment?"

Mu Yexiao laughed, as if he was in a good mood, "Alright, let's do it like this, my Jiu'er is still the kindhearted one. Since she cursed you, then let her repent in front of Buddha. And you still have to pray for Jiu'er blessings. Concubine Wan, for a punishment like that of Princess Concubine, are you lucky?"

Aunt Wan immediately knelt down. "Thank you, Your Highness. Your highness is magnanimous."

Mu Yexiao acknowledged: "Alright, then get up. Nan Feng, I will leave this matter to you, you can immediately arrange a buddhist hall in the courtyard of Concubine Wan. Qing Lian and Qing Yu will stay behind to supervise Concubine Wan, you can't let Concubine Wan be lazy and do anything else."

Qing Yu and Qing Lian immediately responded, "This servant will obey. This servant will definitely keep a close eye on Concubine Wan. Even at night, this servant will take turns to guard Concubine Wan. "

When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she was immediately satisfied.

"Alright, let's do it this way then. There's nothing else for today. Jiu'er, are you going back yet?"Mu Yexiao said as he looked at Qian Jiujiu, but Qian Jiujiu actually glanced at Qian Shangshu: "I wonder if Father is dissatisfied with this punishment? If not, father, please tell mother what I mean."

After Qian Jiujiu finished speaking, she looked at Qian Shang Shu with an impatient face. Mu Yexiao also looked at Qian Shang Shu with an unfriendly gaze.

This was the reason why Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had come today. It was impossible for Qian Shangshu to change their minds, so he could only nod their heads and agree.

Qian Jiujiu nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Hong Ling: "Hong Ling, take out the invitation."

Hong Ling replied, "Yes, Your highness."

As she spoke, she took out an invitation from her sleeve and passed it to the attendant beside Qian Shangshu. Qian Jiujiu then continued to speak: "Father, this is an invitation from Prince Manor. I am going to invite all Madame and Ladies for the feast the day after tomorrow. And let mother bring cousin along as well. This is a good opportunity for all the ladies to get to know each other."

"Although I'm married, there's still sister who's inferior with me!"

After she finished speaking, Qian Jiujiu didn't look at Qian Shangshu's expression, instead, she turned and looked at Mu Yexiao with a gentle and affectionate expression, "Your Highness, should we go back now?"

Mu Yexiao nodded his head: "Since everything has been completed, then let's go back."

After Qian Jiujiu received the order, she turned and looked at Concubine Wan: "Concubine Wan, you must remember this well. You are not allowed to slack off, otherwise, my servant girl will come back to report."

Concubine Wan looked at Qian Jiujiu's expression. Mu Yexiao knew Qian Jiujiu's identity, and was even willing to spoil her.

To Qian Jiujiu, being able to marry to him was her fortune.

With that thought in mind, Concubine Wan was released. In the future, she would sincerely pray for her daughter in the buddhist hall until she couldn't see Qian Jiujiu's figure anymore.

Only then did Concubine Wan turn her head and look at Qian Shang Shu. "Master, if there's nothing else, this servant will take her leave."

Qian Shang Shu looked at Concubine Wan and thought that with Qian Jiujiu's current position, shouldn't he try to currying favor with her in a bit? After all, Concubine Wan was an easy target.

Unfortunately, Concubine Wan was no longer the naive Concubine Wan she used to be. After she finished speaking, she left first before waiting for his answer.

Qing Lian and Qing Yu that was left behind naturally left with her, while Nan Feng had already brought back a large Buddha. They directly headed towards the courtyard of Concubine Wan.

And such a huge commotion had even alarmed Madame Qian, who had been anxiously watching Qian Yuge from Qian Yuge's courtyard. She called a servant girl over to inquire about the situation.

The servant quickly answered questions the Madame Qian: "Madam, Prince and Princess Xiao came just now. They said that they wanted to build up a buddhist hall in the courtyard of Concubine Wan."

"In the future, Concubine Wan will recite buddhist chants, and even have the two maidservants by the princess' side watch over Concubine Wan. They said that they won't let Concubine Wan be lazy."

Madame Qian immediately understood. This must be because Qian Jiujiu knew about the news from Shang Shu Manor and sent someone to protect her mother. She snorted, could it be that the Shang Shu Manor was your Prince Manor in the past?

She actually dared to come to the Shang Shu Manor, did she think that she was dead?
