The carriage stopped outside the manor gate and a steward came forward.
The maid helped Zhou Jinruo out of the carriage.
"Hello, Miss Zhou Er." The manager knew Zhou Jinruo. He smiled and walked forward to salute respectfully.
"How is Madam's health? Do you need another doctor to see her? My father found a famous doctor and asked me to bring him here to see Madam."
Zhou Jinruo pointed at a doctor who got off the carriage behind him.
For the wife of Duke Yuguo, nothing could be better than sending a famous doctor. Before, the Zhou family also sent many good medicinal materials, some of which were pills and ointments left by ancestors. Duke Yuguo gave more support to their family for this. The Kangyang Marquis's family felt that this upheaval had a lot to do with Duke Yuguo.
Haven’t you seen that those noble families who were brought down at the same time are still being demoted now
"Madam's health has improved a lot. Now that the young lady is with her, she doesn't have to take medicine all the time as before." The steward said with a smile.
"Is Miss Yu here?" Zhou Jinruo's eyes twinkled, and she asked with a soft smile, "Is it convenient for her to meet?"
"I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient for the young lady. The lady is now being served by the young lady." The steward said with difficulty, "Although the lady's health has improved a little, she needs someone by her side even more."
"Then this... doctor should stay! Mother said that when Duke Yu was leaving Beijing, he specifically told us to pay more attention to Madam's health and that Madam's health should be the most important thing in everything." Zhou Jinruo was not angry at the steward's refusal. He smiled and made a gentle suggestion.
In the past, she would come over occasionally, but she would not see him every time. However, Zhou Jinruo still had the proper manners and would even come over as usual. She did not mind even if she could not see the unwell Lady of the Duke of Yu.
It is true that the wife of Duke Yuguo was in poor health. It was said that she almost died several times. Zhou Jinruo had also asked the reason, and it seemed to be related to what happened when she gave birth to the prince. It was said that the wife of Duke Yuguo gave birth to the prince on the way back to Beijing after Duke Yuguo was demoted, and then she encountered an assassin.
The wife of Duke Yu and the prince almost died.
Although he returned to the capital safely afterwards, the wife of the Duke of Yuguo had been ill, and had been recuperating in a farm outside the city ever since. The Duke of Yuguo was the only one living in the Duke of Yuguo's Mansion in the capital, and later when the young master grew up, he also lived there. Only the wife of the Duke of Yuguo still stayed outside the city to recuperate due to health problems.
Zhou Jinruo's biological mother had long since let Zhou Jinruo find a way to get close to the wife of Duke Yu. Even if Duke Yu had been demoted, there was nothing wrong with the title of Duke Yu. She knew that everything was possible in the future. Moreover, in that situation, the Zhou Mansion would be even worse. If she could win the favor of the wife of Duke Yu and have her adopt her as her goddaughter, the person Zhou Jinruo could marry now would definitely be much better than Qu Minghui.
But no matter how "sincere" Zhou Jinruo was, Lady Yuguo seldom saw her. But even so, Zhou Jinruo still "cared" about Lady Yuguo as always. Just for this reason, the manager also looked up to her and felt that Miss Zhou Er was truly a gentle and kind lady.
It’s just that my wife has no chance with her.
As for this young lady, Zhou Jinruo was extremely angry. She had been "waiting" for the wife of the Duke of Yu for so many years, but she had never won her favor. But this woman who came from nowhere actually became the wife of the Duke of Yu.
Two very simple and expensive items were sent back.
It can be considered as saving the prince's face.
Liu Jingyu knew about this. Pei Luoan had once told her about it. Especially at the time of King Jing's wedding, Pei Luoan mentioned it again, lamenting that King Jing had a great general behind him, and compared to the weakness of his own family, the Yue family was truly the best.
Liu Jingyu heard the regret in the prince's words clearly. She knew that her family could not compare to Liu Lanxin and without the background of controlling military power, she would not give up the Duke of Qi's Mansion. But now with the Duke of Yu here, it seemed like another good idea.
After thinking about the letter for a while, Liu Jingyu asked someone to wash up again and then went to see Pei Luoan.
Upon hearing that Liu Jingyu was coming, Pei Luoan asked the eunuch to call her in.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Jingyu stepped forward and bowed respectfully with proper manners.
She had been reprimanded by the Queen Mother before, but fortunately the Crown Prince did not punish her too much. Compared to Ji Youran, her reprimand was not as severe.
Now everyone is watching Ji Youran's joke, and Liu Jingyu's pressure is reduced a lot.
"Crown Princess, what's the matter?" Pei Luoan put down the letter in his hand and asked calmly.
"There is a letter from Miss Zhou Er of the Marquis of Kangyang Mansion. Would Your Highness like to see it?" Liu Jingyu asked softly, taking out the letter from his sleeve.
Seeing her say that, Pei Luoan's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded and took it.
After reading it, he asked, "What do you think, Princess?"
"I think it's good. Madam Yuguo has been in poor health for many years. She has been hiding from the public since she returned to Beijing. Although Madam Yuguo lives in a house in Beijing, he has no other concubines and his surroundings are very clean. It can be seen that he is sincere to Madam Yuguo. Now that Madam Yuguo has gone to the border and heard about the great victory on the border, he may return to Beijing!"
Liu Jingyu smiled.
These words touched Pei Luoan's heart. Although they didn't say it explicitly, both of them understood that this meant that Duke Yu had really risen and was no longer the demoted and ignored Duke Yu.
"In that case, let's pick out some good medicinal herbs and send them to the Marquis Kangyang's Mansion." Pei Luoan thought for a while and said, he knew more than Liu Jingyu.
There was indeed a great victory at the border, and Duke Yu is about to return to the capital. The northern border has been in chaos for so many years, and this time they are finally going to negotiate. Some of the previous things have been done.
If Pei Luoan could get the support of Duke Yu at this time, the benefits would be obvious.
Pei Luoan only hated that Duke Yu had no daughter, otherwise he would have given up Liu Jingyu and married Duke Yu's daughter.
"Your Highness, I think so too, but there is one more thing I want to report to Your Highness. I cannot make the decision on this matter." Liu Jingyu was not surprised by Pei Luoan's statement. She looked around, and the two maids who followed her retreated.
Pei Luoan did not let the eunuch beside him leave. This was his confidant. To some extent, he even trusted him more than Liu Jingyu. He would not drive him away at this time.
"What else does Crown Princess want to say?" Pei Luoan asked gently after the two maids left, and pointed to a chair on the side, motioning Liu Jingyu to sit down.
He was willing to treat a useful Crown Princess with kindness. If he could get Duke Yu to favor him, such a great benefit would be the most urgent thing for him...
