She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 262: Drama in the Garden

"Now that your leg is healed, is this how you treat your uncle?" The Third Master stared at his legs and narrowed his eyes.

Until now he has not found out who cured Ziqi's leg.

"Let's go." Shangguan Ziqi just glanced at him coldly and ignored him.

He walked directly behind and let the two women walk in front, blocking the third master completely and not giving him the chance to pull anyone else in.

The third master stopped attacking, as his dodging action just now had aroused Ziqi's suspicion.

It seems that we have to proceed to the second step of the plan.

The three of them came to the main courtyard.

The princess has been waiting for a long time.

She had already received the letter from her son.

When she saw Shangguan Ru's face, she was also shocked.

What a surprise!

The third wife had been plotting this from the very beginning. Her son had suffered so much because the third wife wanted to push Zishu to the position of crown prince.

"Ruru greets my aunt." Shangguan Ru had adjusted her mood and bowed respectfully to the princess.

She knew that this was her real mother.

On the way, the eldest sister-in-law had already told her a lot about her aunt's temper.

Gentle, kind, and very easy to get along with.

After not seeing him for many years, this face is still so gentle.

Smiling and looking at myself is so kind.

"Get up quickly. It's great news that Ru'er is back." The princess personally stepped forward to help the person up.

"Greetings, mother." Yu Yuanzheng waited for the princess to help the man up before she stepped forward and bowed to the princess.

Shangguan Ru saw Yu Yuanzheng's casual attitude towards the princess, just like a real mother and daughter.

"Greetings, mother." Shangguan Ziqi also bowed.

"Well, you wrote to say that your leg has healed. Mother is really happy."

The princess also pretended to be very happy to see her son coming back standing in good health.

At this time, the third master and the third lady also walked in.

They still wanted to wait and take the person away.

"Sister-in-law, Ru'er is a divorced woman and cannot live in the palace. It is better to let my sister-in-law take her away quickly and find a place for her to live outside. We cannot let her affect the marriage of other children in the palace." The third lady interrupted as soon as she came in.

"I have the final say in the palace. What do you have to be afraid of as a young lady from Prince Rong's palace? Which family isn't vying to marry into our family? As long as you don't think about marrying a princess, are you still worried about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law?" The princess's face suddenly turned cold.

"Sister-in-law, Ru'er is the daughter of my third wife. Let us make the decision ourselves." The third master also joined in.

They really spared no effort to take people away.

If they really took her away, Yu Yuanzheng estimated that Sister Ru would not survive the night.

There will definitely be a body tomorrow morning, and it will be buried before my father returns.

She had to find a way to keep him under her nose.

"Mother, I feel that Sister Ru's personality is very similar to yours. You two are the most like a mother and daughter.

"Father hasn't come back yet, so why not let Sister Ru stay in the east wing of the main courtyard for a night so that Xiao Yue'er can play with the children?" Yu Yuanzheng suggested.

"Okay, I haven't seen Ru'er for many years, Third Sister-in-law, you think it's not good for Ru'er to divorce and return home, but I like her very much. Let her stay in our big house. I can just listen to what she's doing outside."

"How can this be? She is the daughter of our third wife. How can she live in the main courtyard? This is against the rules." How could the third wife agree to this?

At this moment, a maid outside the door hurried in and came to Shangguan Ziqi.

"Master, the Seventh Guard is looking for you." She said in a low voice.

Shangguan Ziqi was very surprised. He had just arrived at the mansion and Uncle Qi An was looking for him for something?

He hurried out of the hall.

An Qi came over and whispered a few words into Shangguan Ziqi's ear.

Hearing this, Shangguan Ziqi frowned.

How could this be?

He couldn't think of it anyway.

He immediately turned and went into the house, walked to the princess, and whispered something in her ear.

"What?" The princess was so shocked that her eyes widened.

"Let's go and take a look." The princess walked out directly.

Yu Yuanzheng didn't know what was going on and wanted to follow out of curiosity, but then she thought that Shangguan Ru couldn't be left here, so she pulled her along as well.

But Shangguan Ziqi stopped him.

Yu Yuanzheng understood at a glance that it might not be suitable for Sister Ru to go.

Then Shangguan Ziqi whispered something into her ear, which Yu Yuanzheng found incredible.

"Zhilan, Zhiruo, the two of you must take good care of Sister Ru and not let her leave the main courtyard." Yu Yuanzheng gave special instructions.

"Yes, Madam Eldest Young Master." They both responded at the same time.

"Aunt San, let's go and watch the fun together." Yu Yuanzheng pulled the third lady along.

Several people hurried to the garden of the palace.

As for the second master, he was furious the moment he saw Shangguan Ru at the door.

At that moment, his reason was completely overwhelmed by anger.

He entered the mansion angrily and headed towards Concubine Luo's courtyard.

He wanted to know clearly why Ru'er from the third room looked so much like her.

He had to have her say it herself.

As a result, before he reached Concubine Luo's courtyard, he met her leading her maids hurriedly towards the gate of the palace.

When he saw her, he calmed down a bit. As they passed each other, he said coldly, "Go to the garden."

Then he continued to the garden, a leisure area in the palace.

When Concubine Luo saw that the Second Master had a very unfriendly expression on his face, she knew that he had seen Ru'er.

She was anxious to go out and see what had happened because she heard that Ru'er had returned, and it would be best if she could stop Ru'er from returning home.

She knew very well what Ru'er's return home meant.

But now seeing the second master's expression, she knew that if she didn't go, he would definitely make a big deal out of it.

She thought about it and decided that it would be better to appease the Second Master first.

So she had to follow him to the garden quietly and asked two maids to wait outside the garden.

When you come to the garden, you will see a large tree that has stood for many years, and the angle is just right to face the wall.

If someone comes to the garden, they generally won't see them unless they look for them specifically.

As soon as Concubine Luo arrived, the second master raised his hand and slapped her.

Concubine Luo was beaten so hard that she almost couldn't stand.

"Didn't you give birth to a son for me? Tell me why Shangguan Ru from the third room looks exactly like you?" The second master asked harshly without any pity.

"I..." Concubine Luo was beaten to tears.

She wanted to gain sympathy with her tears.

But who is the Second Master? He has played with countless women, and women’s tears are of no use to him.

"I have no patience. You'd better tell me the truth, or I'll beat you to death right now."

The two of them were talking behind the tree, completely unaware that there were secret guards in the garden.

Ever since Yu Chaoyang had a miscarriage in the garden last time, An Yi had arranged an older secret guard to be stationed in the garden.

As soon as the secret guard heard it, he knew something was wrong and immediately left quietly to inform An Qi.

The prince was not in the palace, so An Yi followed him to the border, and the guards in the palace were handed over to An Qi for management.

As soon as he got the news, he immediately reported it to Shangguan Ziqi.

The Second Master and Concubine Luo had no martial arts skills and had no idea that a group of people had quietly come to the garden. The two maids left by Concubine Luo outside the garden were directly taken away by the secret guards.

"Wow....., twenty years ago, the Third Madam gave birth on the same day as me.

I wasn't supposed to give birth that day, but for some reason, I accidentally slipped while taking a walk, and gave birth more than ten days early.

That day, the second old lady was out burning incense and was not in the palace, so only the third old lady was there.

I gave birth to a daughter, and the third wife gave birth to a son.

The Third Old Lady felt sorry for me because I had used some trickery to get into the palace, and was destined not to receive the prince's favor. If I didn't have a son by my side, one could imagine what my future would be like.

So she discussed with me to exchange the son born by the third wife with the daughter born by me, and then I had a son.

If anything happens to Ziqi, maybe my son can become the crown prince, and my life will be better in the future.

Anyway, I thought that Ru'er was also in the palace, under my nose, so I agreed.

But who knew Ru'er would look so much like me that I had to send her away."

Concubine Luo cried and told the story of that year.

"Why didn't you tell me? I've been thinking Zishu is my son for so many years, helping him everywhere and calculating his moves, but in the end I ended up making things easier for others. You're such a jinx! I can't stop being so angry unless I teach you a lesson."

The second master was so angry that he lost his mind and grabbed Luo Ce's belt and pulled it. Then he pressed him against the tree trunk and untied his own belt.

Needless to say, what happened next was that in broad daylight, there were unbearable sounds, a mixture of begging for mercy and cursing.

The audience didn't move, just waiting for them to finish.

Everyone was looking at the big tree intently, and no one noticed that the prince and the crown prince were standing behind them.
