The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 168: Victimized by Schemes

"Madam, you are truly impressive."

Gold was excited, "Just now even Princess could not say a word."

Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, "If Princess decides to settle scores in the autumn, I hope you can still laugh."

Gold: "..."

The smile that reached his ears slowly disappeared.

He said worriedly, "With Young Master not in the mansion, if Princess is determined to make things difficult for us, it seems we have no solution."

Currently, the head mistress of the Duke Mansion is Princess.

Even if she cannot openly shout to kill or beat, she can still find opportunities to attack from the shadows with her abilities.

Seeing Gold’s worried face, Mingzhu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Deal with soldiers with generals, and water with earth; it’s better to be optimistic, otherwise, life would be unlivable."

Mingzhu was incredibly beautiful.

In the past, her brows always carried a faint trace of sadness, giving her a sense of romantically melancholy beauty.

Now, the gloom shrouding her gradually dissipated.

Her appearance more radiant than before, captivating to the eye.

Gold sincerely said, "Madam, in the future, think more about happy things."

Mingzhu responded with a sound.

Only after her father’s affairs are sorted, can she start a new life...

After Mingzhu left, Princess An He sat in her place dazed.

About the incident that day, she thought it was a struggle between the Empress and the Imperial Concubine.

Unexpectedly, the spearhead was also aimed at Ah Zhen.

Naturally, she recalled that day out of the palace when her son was carrying Mingzhu, and their conduct was very inappropriate.

At the time, she didn’t think deeply.

Just thought Mingzhu was causing trouble with Ah Zhen again.

After all, in the mansion, the two of them hung around each other daily.

The maids serving around gossiped, and it all reached her ears!

Princess An He tried hard to recall the details of that day.

Remembering Ah Zhen said that Mingzhu was helping him with important matters.

Couldn’t help but speculate if her son had fallen into someone else’s trap.

If someone intended to drive a wedge between Ah Zhen and the Crown Prince, then, there should be another person involved...

Thinking for a while, a figure popped up in Princess An He’s mind.

Xu He.

The wild girl brought back to the palace by the Crown Prince.

The thought made her angrily slap the table.

"These people are outrageous, throwing all things dirty and stinky onto Ah Zhen!"

Although Ji Mingzhu was from a ruined household, she was still raised as a noble lady.

What does Xu He have?

A girl barely acquainted with some medicine, shamelessly followed the Crown Prince back to the capital on the pretext of saving his life.

Between the two, Ji Mingzhu was far more pleasing to the eyes than Xu He!

Princess An He rolled her eyes, recalling something important.

Du Peifang had visited the palace before.

Ji Mingzhu wouldn’t mention this vile woman without reason; it must be Du Peifang causing trouble, colluding with the Imperial Concubine!

Xie Yunzhen was Princess An He’s life.

Anyone daring to plot against him was her enemy!

"Where is that pernicious woman?"

The mama gasped, not sure whom the Princess was referring to.

Princess An He, visibly annoyed, squeezed out through her teeth, "Du Peifang!"

The mama quickly replied, "She’s probably gone to find Lord in the front yard again. That little slut doesn’t care for appearances; now dresses just like Lin Family, one would think she learned her style from the brothel, not resembling a noble lady at all!"

The Princess sneered, "If she cared for appearances, she should have cut her hair and gone to a nunnery after getting off Lord’s bed!"

But she didn’t become a nun, instead entering the Duke Mansion as a concubine.

Recalling that this troublemaker was brought in by herself, nearly harming her own son, Princess An He felt deeply guilty.

Taking a deep breath.

"Ji Mingzhu was right, I need to keep a close eye on Du Peifang, not giving her a chance to harm Ah Zhen again."

She stood up abruptly, leading her people towards the front yard.

Her face strained, the storm looming.

If the person Du Peifang harmed was Duke Xie, Princess An He wouldn’t be this angry.

If you dare to plot against her son, be ready to face the consequences!

After losing favor, Du Peifang lived in a state of constant turmoil within the Duke Mansion.

Originally, she wanted to keep some face for herself.

Although her clothing style changed, she didn’t overstep too much.

Being a little bolder than before.

But Duke Xie still ignored her, even when they occasionally met, he left without glancing at her.

He was so indifferent, she seemed invisible to him.

The feeling of being treated as invisible was very distressing.

Du Peifang worried that if this continued, Duke Xie would truly forget her.

No longer caring for appearances, she directly copied Lin Family’s style.

Lin Family initially wanted to rely on Du Peifang, even helping lure Lord towards her.

Now, not getting any benefits.

Her clothing style was even copied by Du Peifang, angering her immensely.

Behind her back, she constantly cursed Du Peifang as a copycat!

Recently, with external turmoil, Duke Xie seldom went out.

Mostly dealt with affairs in the front yard’s study.

Upon hearing Du Peifang came again, standing in the yard, he didn’t think twice to send her away.

Duke Xie inherited his title young.

Though he didn’t achieve much in officialdom, under the shelter of his ancestors, he lived a relatively smooth life.

The only woman-related troubles came from Princess An He.

Never did he expect to be publicly humiliated by Du Peifang at his age.

Old man...

Thinking about these words even now, Duke Xie still seethed.

If not for Du Peifang’s youth and the complex ties with the Du Family.

He would have long divorced her!

"Lord, that day I was set up, I didn’t know what drug they fed me, making me speak against my will!"

Du Peifang’s voice carried in from the yard.

Duke Xie instinctively thought she was making excuses, until she mentioned Xie Yunzhen.

"It wasn’t I who sowed discord between you and your son; Young Master called you away first, and right after, I lost consciousness. When I awoke, everyone said I committed a grave mistake, even you wouldn’t see me."

"I don’t ask for justice from you, only not to be misunderstood and ignored by you anymore..."

The woman’s cries floated inside.

Duke Xie was somewhat swayed.

Upon reflection, something like this was indeed something his rebellious son might do.

Otherwise, why call him away in the middle of the night without any real issue?

That night, there was no urgent matter at all!

Just kept him in the study, showing him a list, claiming those people might oppose the Duke Mansion.

Asking him to think carefully if there were any past grievances with them...

At this moment, Duke Xie softened.

He was convinced Du Peifang was telling the truth, that night was indeed Ah Zhen’s scheme against them.

As for why he did it.

Probably under Ji Mingzhu’s influence again!

Du Peifang still sobbed, "Lord, do you truly not want me anymore?"

"Give Peifang a straight answer, if you don’t want me and don’t wish to see me, I won’t appear before you again to trouble you..."

He pinched his brow.

Duke Xie thought, Du Peifang was also a victim, this time let’s forgive her.

If reckoning needs to be done, it should be with that rebellious son.

Either absent from home, or turning the mansion upside down.

What exactly does he want?

"Lord..."

"Let her in!"
