Chapter 484: Taking away the person and calculating the profit
"Mother, my daughter-in-law is back!"
Zhen walked in quickly and threw herself at the old lady's feet.
"Mother, it's my fault for not handling this matter properly. Now that things have developed to this point, I really can't handle it anymore!"
Zhen immediately threw away the responsibility.
"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail! What's the point of crying and shouting here!" Old Lady Qin scolded.
Zhen quickly told the old lady everything that had just happened.
Madam Qin frowned tightly, "Does Yumo really have a secret affair with the Third Prince?"
"Yes, why did she have to pick on the Third Prince when there were so many other people she could pick on? The Third Prince was married by the Emperor's order! Besides, our Prime Minister Qin's Mansion and the Duke Rong's Mansion have never gotten along well, and we don't have any private contact. Even if the two mansions have a banquet, it's all about human relationships and giving each other some face. What should we do now?"
Madam Qin took a deep breath and said, "This matter involves a lot of people. It is not something that we women in the harem can interfere with. Let's see how the Emperor and the Empress deal with it."
"Yes." Zhen immediately nodded in response.
She didn't want to get involved in this mess.
It's best to protect yourself at this time.
However, she also has her own concerns.
If Qin Yumo really married the third prince and became his consort, wouldn't Chen be so proud of herself in the future?
But she was not afraid.
After all, she gave birth to two sons.
Chen can no longer have children.
Even for the sake of her grandson, the old lady would never let her hand over the power of the family!
Thinking of this, Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went back to rest.
……
Xiao Yan'an returned home, Ji Chuhe was still awake and waiting for him.
"Madam, it's done!" Xiao Yan'an said excitedly.
"Sir, things haven't reached the final stage yet. Anything could happen. Next, it all depends on how the emperor handles the matter."
"Last time, the Third Prince promised Grandfather in front of the Emperor that if he ever had anything to do with Qin Yumo again, he would break off the engagement with Qingqing. The Emperor was a witness!"
"Just wait and see, Prince." Ji Chuhe did not say anything final.
When Xiao Yan'an heard Ji Chuhe say this, he became a little worried.
"Don't worry, Prince. Even if something unexpected happens, the outcome won't change. We just need to deal with it as it happens."
"Madam is right!" Xiao Yan'an immediately became energetic again.
"It's getting late, Prince, go and rest first."
"Madam, please go to bed early." Xiao Yan'an turned and left.
……
The next day it was still dark.
Ji Chuhe was awakened by a burst of hurried footsteps.
"Madam." Mianzhu called out softly.
"What happened?" Ji Chuhe sat up.
"Qin Yumo knelt outside the mansion and publicly apologized to Miss Qingqing. She also said that she was devoted to the Third Prince, but the Third Prince always kept his distance from her and never had any private dealings with her. She and the Third Prince were innocent. She felt that she could not get the Third Prince's love, and she did not want to marry anyone else, so she committed suicide. The Third Prince jumped into the water to save her, but he was kind and cared about her life. He rescued her and asked Miss Qingqing not to care about it. She never coveted the identity of the Third Prince's consort. She just asked that the marriage between the Third Prince and Miss Qingqing should not be affected because of her. She would rather be a concubine and always respect and obey Miss Qingqing, the principal wife."
Ji Chuhe chuckled, "I knew Qin Yumo was not a good person. Now that she has got the girl, she wants to get the most benefits. She is really dreaming."
"Madam, Qin Yumo has been kneeling there and cannot be driven away. Due to her status, we cannot do anything to her. What should we do now?"
"Don't worry about her. Let her kneel if she wants. Does she think that by doing this, she can protect the Third Prince to the greatest extent? Where does she place the prestige of the emperor? Tell Qingqing that you don't have to pay attention to her."
"Yes, I'll go talk to Miss Qingqing right away."
Ji Chuhe couldn't fall asleep after being disturbed by the noise, so she went to Youer's room and leaned against her small bed.
It was getting brighter.
There were more and more passers-by. Seeing Qin Yumo like this, they couldn't help but watch the fun and asked about what happened.
Last night, Qin Yumo jumped into the river and the story of the third prince heroically saving her spread quickly.
No matter how much gossip there is, what everyone is most concerned about is the final outcome of the marriage between Rong Qingqing and the third prince.
The third prince did not go to court, but knelt outside the emperor's bedroom.
After the emperor stood up, he went to the court without even looking at him.
He just kept kneeling like that and didn't get up.
The queen did not sleep all night, anxiously waiting for the emperor's reaction.
As a result, the reply received was that the emperor had no reaction at all, and he didn't even scold the third prince.
The queen suddenly chuckled and sat on the chair.
"I never knew my son could do such a rebellious thing! He actually had such courage! I really don't know whether I should be angry or relieved."
"What is the current situation of Prime Minister Qin's Mansion, Duke Rong's Mansion, and the Prince's Mansion?"
"Replying to the Queen, Qin Yumo knelt in front of the Prince's Mansion before dawn and begged for Rong Qingqing's forgiveness. She also said that this matter had nothing to do with the Third Prince. She didn't want to compete with Rong Qingqing for the position of the Third Prince's consort. She only wanted to be by the Third Prince's side, even if she was a concubine."
The queen knew that Qin Yumo was not stupid.
Trying her best to preserve the Third Prince's behavior also helped to calm her anger.
"Her willingness to be a concubine is indeed a good move. It seems that she really likes the Third Prince! If the Third Prince's Rong Qingqing's marriage can be saved and Qin Yumo can be married as a concubine, then the Rongguo Mansion and the Qin Xiang Mansion will both become a help to the Third Prince!"
Before, the Queen had never cared about Prime Minister Qin's Mansion.
She even felt that, although Prime Minister Qin appeared to be unfriendly to the Fourth Prince on the surface, he was definitely on the Fourth Prince's side in private.
After all, there is the in-law relationship with the Luo family.
The Luo family suffered such a tragic end. The Fourth Prince lost his last source of support, and Prime Minister Qin had to make a new choice.
She was also worried that she had no chance to win over Prime Minister Qin's family.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yumo appeared. Isn’t this a godsend opportunity?
No matter how unfavorable the situation is, she will still give it a try.
She has been married to the emperor for so many years, and she is confident that she still has some understanding of the emperor. Now, she just needs to think about how to deal with those people in the Rongguo Mansion!
"Someone, go invite the old lady of the Duke of Rong's mansion, the eldest son's wife, the crown prince's wife, and Rong Qingqing to come into the palace together."
"Yes."
Soon, the person sent by the Queen came back with a reply.
The old lady in the Rongguo Mansion suddenly fell seriously ill, and the eldest son's wife had to take care of her, so neither of them could enter the palace.
Ji Chuhe brought Rong Qingqing into the palace.
