Chapter 103 Apology
"Qiuyue, why are you so slow? I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Young Master, you don't know that our carriage was almost robbed when we were on the road." Chun Zhu said to Lu Yuan hurriedly.

Lu Yuan's face suddenly darkened: "This is the capital city. There are actually such gangsters. I will definitely ask the Dali Temple for an explanation for this matter."

"It's okay, it's just a small misunderstanding. In the evening, you and I will prepare a small gift and go to the Duke of Rong's mansion to apologize. Then the matter will be over.

Xingzhu was injured while protecting me, so she doesn't need to go with me at night. She should stay in the mansion to recuperate for the next few days."

Chunzhu looked at Xu Qiuyue in confusion. Xingzhu looked full of energy, and when he was beating someone, the second young master of the Duke's Mansion didn't even touch Xingzhu.

How could Xingzhu be injured? Instead, Xingzhu beat up the second young master and he was probably seriously injured.

But Chunzhu only complained in his heart and didn't say it out loud.

Xingzhu originally wanted to say that she was not injured, but Lu Yuan stopped her with his eyes, and Xingzhu closed her open mouth again.

"Well, I just finished my exam and I have nothing to do. I will go to the Duke's Mansion with Madam in the evening."

Lu Yuan wanted to go back and wash up. He paid more attention to his personal image.

Originally, Xu Qiuyue thought that it would be enough for her and Lu Yuan to go together.

However, Lu Yuan first took Xu Qiuyue to the Ning'an Prince's Mansion, and cried to the Crown Prince's Consort, saying that when he first came to the capital, his carriage was almost robbed, and he learned that the other party was of noble status, so he was very worried, so he wanted to invite the Crown Prince's Consort to go to the Rongguo Mansion with him.

When the Crown Prince's Consort heard that Lu Yuan and Xu Qiuyue were bullied by the Rongguo Mansion, she took Lu Yuan and went to the Rongguo Mansion that night. Xu Qiuyue had originally planned to give some gifts, but was stopped by the Crown Prince's Consort.

Lu Yuan and Xu Qiuyue followed the Crown Prince's wife in a carriage straight to the gate of the Rong Mansion, and then asked the servants to hand the visiting card to Old Madam Rong.

In less than half an hour, the maid sent by Mrs. Yang, the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion, came to greet the guests.

The Crown Prince's Consort felt disgusted when she saw the arrogant old woman, but she did not show any expression on her face. She just gently led Lu Yuan and Xu Qiuyue into the Rongguo Mansion.

"How come the Crown Prince's Consort has time to visit our home?" As soon as they entered the Rongguo Mansion, the eldest wife of the Rongguo Mansion, Yang, said to the three people with a smile. She was about forty years old, wearing a purple brocade dress, with a fairy bun on her head and a few jewel-encrusted hairpins. Although she was not absolutely beautiful, she had a plump figure and well-maintained skin.

"We have come to visit you today specially to apologize to you!" said the Crown Princess gently.

"What could have happened that could make our Crown Prince's Consort come here in person to apologize? It's really rare! Did something big happen?" Yang said in surprise.

You must know that the Rongguo Mansion is now in decline.

Although the Ning'an Palace is not that strong.

As long as King Ning'an dies.

By then, the crown prince can only inherit the title as a marquis, which is one level lower.

But now, the momentum of Prince Ning'an's Mansion is still much greater than that of Duke Rong's Mansion.

She didn't understand why the Crown Prince's wife came to apologize at night.

She thought back to recent events.

There is not much intersection between the Rongguo Mansion and the Ning'an Prince Mansion.

She was wondering if the Ning'an Prince's Mansion saw potential in the Rongguo Mansion and took the initiative to come and curry favor with them.

After all, Prince Ning'an doesn't have a son yet.

Unlike her, the eldest son's wife had just given birth to a baby boy, and the Rongguo Mansion had a successor.

However, the only single person in the Duke's Mansion is the Second Young Master. If he were to marry into the Ning'an Palace, his status would be lower, as he would be just a concubine's son. However, the Ning'an Palace's Crown Prince also has several concubines' daughters, so the Second Young Master could marry the Crown Prince's concubine's daughters.

Just when Yang was already thinking about the marriage.

The Crown Princess spoke.

“Today, when my nephew’s wife was out in a carriage, she met the second son of the Duke’s Mansion.

Because the carriage was full of women, the second young master openly stopped the carriage and tried to take away my nephew's wife's carriage.

My nephew's wife is also a person who has never seen the world. She thinks that everyone in the Duke's Mansion is a hero and would never bully a group of weak women like this. Moreover, it is such a long way and without a carriage, how are they going to walk back?

Therefore, he did not believe that the man was the second son of the Duke's Mansion, and therefore, he did not lend the carriage to the second son.

After I came back, I found out the identity of the Second Young Master. I felt very anxious. I thought that the Second Young Master might have something important that required the carriage, so he came to apologize. "

After the Crown Prince's Consort finished speaking, she stared at Yang. She was watching to see how Yang would react after hearing the news.

"If this really happened, someone, go and call the second young master over for questioning." Yang said to the nanny behind her with a gloomy face.

Yang also understood this time.

The Crown Prince's Consort did not come here to propose marriage, but to cause trouble.

It's called an apology, but in fact it's just to ask for an explanation.

When Yang heard this, she felt a little skeptical.

After all, he is the son of the Duke's Mansion. How could he openly stop the carriage of the women, force them to get off, and take away their carriage?

Moreover, Yang knew Murong Jue's temper very well.

Although he is just a bastard, he has a bad temper.

If he wanted to steal the car, how could he let Xu Qiuyue leave?

But the Crown Prince’s Consort has already come, so there is no need for her to lie on purpose.

"Madam Murong, our Ning'an Palace has always valued martial arts. Even the maids in the palace are highly skilled in martial arts. I came here today to sincerely apologize. The maids in the palace are clumsy and it is inevitable that they hurt the Second Young Master.

My nephew's wife has already severely punished the maid, and now she comes here only to sincerely apologize."

Yang's complexion quickly returned to normal. She had practiced Qi-nourishing Kung Fu very well.

"You are really joking, Princess. Murong Jue is a grown man who has practiced martial arts since he was young. He has a thick skin and strong muscles. What's the harm if he is beaten by a little girl?"

Yang said with a smile, after all, the one who was beaten was not her own son, so of course she didn't care.

Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince's Consort raised her lips slightly and said, "Madam Murong is indeed very wise. In that case, we will take our leave." The Crown Prince's Consort took Lu Yuan and Xu Qiuyue away from the Rongguo Mansion.

Yang smiled as she escorted the Crown Prince's wife and her entourage out the door.

After they left, Yang's face suddenly darkened: "What's going on? Why hasn't Murong Jue come here yet?"

"Madam, the second young master has not returned home today." The maid reported to Yang.
