Chapter 742 Escaping from Death!

their flower-viewing banquet!"Before she could even speak, Baozhu trembled and stammered, "Every time I hear about the flower viewing banquet, I remember what happened at the Chang Princess's mansion...The mistress of the Grain House held her daughter, feeling her trembling fear. Her heart ached with such compassion that she wished to die herself.

"My poor daughter, oh woe is me, how could she have been wronged like this"

"If only I had known this would happen today, mother would never have let you go to that flower-viewing banquet, no matter what!"

As the mistress of the household spoke, she wiped away tears as well.

The old master of the Gu family couldn't bear to see his wife and daughter, so he whispered comfortingly, "Don't worry, girls. At this point in time, there hasn't been any movement at the gate, maybe everything will be alright."

Actually, even he himself didn't believe what he was saying.

Because that day at court, he clearly understood the emperor's words, stating that anyone who had touched the Fuhong ointment would be beheaded.

And her own daughter, good heavens, at the flower-viewing banquet, she first tasted Fusheng Paste...

Although Mrs. Gu and her sister-in-law usually bickered with each other, they weren't in the mood for it now.

Because she also has a daughter, who is twelve years old, and in two years she will be eligible for marriage.

If a big house's niece were to be dragged away and beheaded, her daughter would be implicated and have her reputation ruined. For the rest of her life, she wouldn't be able to live well.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, gnashing her teeth and snarling: "It's all that Princess Chang and her wicked granddaughter's fault!"

"If they hadn't become lackeys of the Yaochi, how could so many young ladies have suffered!

"

"It's just too outrageous! They deserve to be struck by lightning a thousand times and chopped into ten thousand pieces, or else my hatred won't subside!"

Having said that, she asked the maid beside her, "Have you sent out everyone you were looking for"

"Yes, Second Madam. I took the rotten vegetable leaves from the kitchen and the stinky eggs too." The maidservant responded.

When onlookers gathered in curiosity, Mrs. Gu'er said indignantly, "I'm furious! I sent someone to bother Princess Chang!"

Although Madam Gu usually looked down upon her younger sisters and brothers for coming from a family of martial artists, she felt surprisingly relieved and satisfied with their actions this time.

The usually silent Dean also spoke up, “Qingqing, don't cry. I've already gone to ask Wen Lady for help. She is very close with Princess Kang Le, and Princess Kang Le is the jewel in the palm of Marquis Xinting!”

"With Lady Hele's involvement, there must be a way out of this. Besides…"

At this point, she paused, leaving everyone eager for more.

"Little sister, hurry up and tell us, what else is there What is it that we don't know" Lord Gu chased after her, even unable to help but walk over and sit beside his sister.

"Actually, two days ago, Marquis Xinting already went to find Grandmother and secretly visited the homes of those girls who had repeatedly used Fuhong Paste, recording their testimonies."

Since Lord Xinting wanted to avoid public attention with this matter, he clearly has no intention of revealing the names of the young ladies.

"Our Qingqing has only taken it once, and we haven't even recorded her statement. It must be fine now!"

"Is this true" Gu Dafu's wife excitedly rushed to her younger sister-in-law, wishing she could kneel down to her, and kept asking over and over again.

"Little sister, why didn't you say so earlier Ohhh, really Then Qingqing wouldn't have to be beheaded, right"

The Dean of the Hall nodded and replied faintly, “Your sister-in-law has spoiled Qingqing too much. Take this as a lesson, she'll worry for a few days and will also be more strict in teaching Qingqing.”

The head mistress blushed, feeling a mixture of shame and anger.

Even if the younger sister wanted to discipline her mother and daughter, she shouldn't make a fuss over such a big matter...

At this time, suddenly a midwife came to report, “Mrs. Wen from Suijintan has sent people here!”

All the Gu family members were startled and quickly invited him in.

Qiong's sister wore a blue dress and had her black hair neatly combed. She carried a basket into the house and politely bowed to everyone in the Gu family.

The Dean raised his hand, indicating that she should be excused from bowing. Then he asked, "Has there been any news about the matter I entrusted to your wives"

Qiong's mother nodded and replied, "A few days ago, Princess Kangle specially went to find the Marquis. Afterwards, the Marquis sought an opportunity to enter the palace and pleaded with the Emperor."

"The Emperor understands that the noble ladies were momentarily blinded by confusion and were tricked by the Princess Imperial and others, so he has pardoned them and will not make their names public."

"As long as each family strictly disciplines their children in the future, we can avoid repeating past mistakes."

"Woooo, it's great, so great!" Gu Dafu first cried out with joy.

Gu Qingqing also hugged her mother, crying uncontrollably.

Narrow escape from death!

Only these four words could express her mood at this moment.

The rest of the Gu family were also overjoyed, offering comfort one after another.

After a long while, the house finally fell silent.

Qiong-sao kept her eyes fixed on her nose, and her nose on her heart, not daring to glance at anyone.

At this moment, she stepped forward and handed the basket in her hands to the head of the grain store.

"Dean of the Granary, this is the Divine Doctor entrusted by the County Princess from Broken Jade Beach. The medicinal ingredients are prepared here, along with instructions on usage and dosage."

"My lady, rest assured and take this. In three days, all traces of the Fúróng Ointment will be gone."

The Dean was surprised and pleased by such thorough arrangements. He quickly got up to receive them, saying, “When I return, please thank the County Princess and Mrs. Wen for me. I will definitely pay a visit in person to express my gratitude another day.”

After Qiong's courtesies, she then took her leave.

Naturally, a married woman from the grain family followed up and stuffed a small pouch...

The Dean of the College, rarely seen with such a smile, carried a basket to his sister-in-law and instructed, "This time, we owe much to Princess Kangle and Madam Wen. Sister-in-law, please ensure all the gifts listed on the gift list are prepared, we mustn't let them down."

Madam Gu, perhaps she'd gone mad, her subordinates hesitated momentarily before blurting out.

"That... little sister, is this prescription reliable Qingqing is still a young lady, it's not good to just drink prescriptions from outside casually, what if it harms her body..."

The Dean instantly turned cold, dropped the basket, nodded at his parents, and walked straight away.

Gu Dajuan was made a laughingstock and couldn't help but complain to her in-laws, "Father, Mother, I just asked a couple of questions, and my younger sister got angry..."

Grandfather Gu said nothing, he left with a flick of his sleeve, leaving the space for his wife to instruct his daughter-in-law.

As the eldest mistress, she loved her youngest daughter most of all. She didn't show any mercy to her son's wife and scolded: "You know your younger sister's temper! "

This time she came to beg people, it was because she felt sorry for you and Qingqing. As a result, you look like this, as if she's going to harm Qingqing

"For over a decade, Mrs. Wen has been unable to find joy. It was only after being treated by the divine doctor of Suijin Beach that she finally recovered. Now, she is about to give birth!"

"For this new city, anyone who wants to ask this Zhang Divine Physician for a prescription, there is no one without eight thousand!

"Your little sister is grateful to Madam Wen and County Princess Kang for their thoughtfulness, yet you actually complain. You are simply ungrateful and ignorant!"

"Next time, don't bother your little sister. I feel sorry for her!"

The mistress of the household, upon hearing this, flushed crimson with shame. She quickly rose and bowed deeply, apologizing, "Mother, I was wrong. I truly lost my composure for a moment. I'll prepare a gift right away and later go apologize to my younger sister!"

Not to mention the Gu family, but on that street a little over a mile from the vegetable market, it was bustling at this hour.

It began, and no one knows who started it.

In the blink of an eye, countless rotten vegetable leaves and stinking eggs, even clumps of dirt and stones, were hurled at the parading procession.

And most of them are aimed at the Long Princess and her family!

The usually high-and-mighty princess had a vegetable leaf on her head and an egg yolk stuck to her forehead, and she was fuming with rage.

Behind her, Bao Lei wasn't much better off. She looked like she had just been pulled out of a sewage ditch, her hair and clothes dripping with dirty water. Even wild dogs would steer clear of her.

Three more chapters are here! I was delayed coming back from outside, so the update is late. Forgive me, my treasures! Big group hugs!w also presented needlework as a return gift.
