Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night is as cool as water.

The atmosphere in Youfu these past two days has been very depressing.

Mrs. You's body has not been feeling well since autumn. It has been raining continuously for the past two days, and she has become increasingly miserable and unable to get out of bed all day long.The rumors outside about Chen Jiahui became more and more intense. The entire You family was worried that the rumors would reach the ears of the old lady, so they locked up the house early and stopped entertaining guests.

As for the people in the house, they were going about their errands carefully with their hearts and heads raised, not even saying a word that didn't need to be said.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, "Open the door! Open the door! I am an errand boy from Dali Temple. I have something urgent to report to Mr. You! Open the door! Open the door quickly!" The knock on the door was earth-shattering, mixed with anxious and sharp shouts, and you could hear it. panting.

The movement woke up the entire alley.

The concierge of the neighboring house stretched out his neck and cursed, "What are you doing, reincarnation? Even if it is an important matter of reincarnation, we can wait until tomorrow. Look at what time it is, ghosts are crying and wolves are howling..."

Someone pulled me from the side and said, "Keep your voice down. In these troubled times, errands and officials are all troubled. Don't let your words cause conflicts and offend others."

"Why is it so troublesome?"

"I heard that the man in the Heavenly Prison...is gone. Hey, this royal family member didn't have more lives than us. It's the same in front of the gate of hell and on the road to hell."

"Let me tell you, this reincarnation, if you choose to be born into a royal family, but choose a weak and unloved belly, it is not as good as us ordinary people living a more stable life, having enough food and clothing, and living a smooth life .”

who said no...

The concierge of the You family finally opened the door with a curse. Most of the servants in the You family are from the eldest princess's side. Probably because they are serving the royal family, they always have a somewhat "dog-like view of others" attitude. In front of these people who receive imperial salary, they always have a pretentious jawline, their eyelids are closed, and they say slowly, "Who has the quality to knock on the door like this in the middle of the night? It wakes up the masters. Do you care?"

The word "to wait" is dragged out, and the ending sound is slightly raised, which is quite arrogant and has nothing to do with us even if others are anxious to death.

On weekdays, it's the same.

Since beating a dog depends on the owner, naturally no one will slap the eldest princess in the face because of the arrogant attitude of the two unscrupulous concierges, even if they complain too much.After this back and forth, he naturally became more arrogant, rude and defiant.

This time, he kicked the iron plate. The last word was still on his lips, but the other party hurriedly pushed the door open and walked directly to You Feng's yard by the familiar route. He didn't even let anyone inform him - or even cared about it at all. It is very possible and logically speaking that the eldest princess should live in the same courtyard as Mr. You...

The concierge couldn't dodge and was hit hard on the head by the heavy wooden door that was pushed towards him. For a moment, he felt like stars were in his eyes, but he didn't care about the pain. He covered the hit place and hurriedly chased after him.It's just that they couldn't catch up with the guards of Dali Temple. They were left behind after a while, and they couldn't even see their shadows.

Not long after, when the concierge Kankan chased him to the door of the courtyard, he saw the prince-in-law striding out while wearing a robe - Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, who was standing at the door of the dormitory in slightly thin clothes.The concierge quickly released his hand covering his forehead and bowed.

Mr. You, who was usually kind to others, walked past them without looking sideways, and threw his lifted robe over their lowered shoulders. The other party did not even look at them from beginning to end, and was followed by the servants who were trotting all the way.The concierge exchanged glances, and both saw panic and fear in the other's eyes. They looked at the eldest princess standing in the corridor from a distance, bowed silently at the distance, and bent back.

After walking for a long time, they had already turned two corners. The two of them looked at each other again, and both breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that there was a layer of fine and slippery cold sweat on their backs.

At that time, I was standing outside the courtyard. It was dark in the night and I couldn't see clearly the expression of the eldest princess in the corridor.But the other party just stood there, which made people think that she was tensed and worried.What's more... the eldest princess values ​​​​the rules, and just because of the behavior of that person who just barged in rashly, if it was normal, he would have scolded him no matter what.

However, this time he just stood there and watched the Prince Consort leave.

"I'm afraid... something bad is going to happen." The concierge said this, looking at the thick clouds on the dark sky and shrinking his neck.

"let's go!"

……

Footsteps came one after another and left in a hurry.

Under the night, the You family became quiet again, as if the earth-shattering knocks and arguments just now were nothing but illusions.

Only the eldest princess was still standing at the door. Behind her, her mother-in-law put a light fur coat on her. She stretched out her hands tightly and looked up at the night sky where the storm had not gone. She sighed softly and asked her mother-in-law, "Did you hear that?" People say……"

"Shh!" Mammy stopped nervously, and looked around for a while before advising, "Your Highness... Walls have ears. For such a big matter, the Prince Consort will come to a conclusion. Before that... Your Highness, what can we do? Not a word can be said..."

"I would rather keep it a secret..." The eldest princess tightened her collar again, raised her hand and put it on the outstretched grandma's wrist. She slowly turned around and walked in. As she walked, she sighed, "But there is a lot of movement tonight. Here comes the message. The same goes for that boy, Xin, he didn’t even cover it up at all, it seems like he deliberately made it known to everyone.”

"If you just knock on the door late at night, you can just prevaricate and fool around, just say that the unruly prisoners inside are causing trouble and the people below can't control it - this is what the prince-consort wants to get. But, it's just that it's not easy to talk about. Historically, Which time didn't involve countless casualties... Speaking of which, I will help you pack some clothes later. Early tomorrow morning, you can take the princess back to the Princess's Mansion to stay for a while to avoid the limelight." Mammy said as she spoke , and rejoiced at the same time, "Fortunately, the prince-in-law has not been to the prison in the past few days..."

"Yes." The eldest princess nodded, but she still frowned and was worried, "When I return to the eldest princess's mansion tomorrow, you will accompany me to the temple again. Things are always going wrong these days. I will go to the temple to offer incense and ask for a fortune..."

"Yes." Mammy responded, closing the doors and windows before advising, "Don't think too much about it, even if it is really such a waste, we have closed the door and stayed in the eldest princess' mansion to live our own life. That's the day. Your Highness, it's late at night, so hurry up and get some rest. I'll go down and prepare the clothes and utensils I'll take back tomorrow."

It is said to be a short stay, but who knows how long it will take. It is always right to be well prepared.
