401 Send Someone to Kidnap Her!
“Alright, you’re only reading. Not reciting. I know,” she said, patting their heads.
“It’s Lotus Lantern Festival today. You’re going to see the lotus lanterns later. Do you want to make lotus lanterns with me? It’s very easy. How about I teach you?”
She had been making lotus lanterns every year and was used to it. It was not difficult to teach the two children.
“Make lotus lanterns?”
!!
Qian Yizheng and Qian Yirong were instantly interested. They placed the books on the stone table and followed Qian Yiyun. They wanted to see her demonstrate how to make the lotus lanterns before getting started.
Lotus flowers bloomed in June and July. However, the weather in the capital was colder than at the southern border, so the lotus flowers did not bloom until the end of July.
The Lotus Lantern Festival was held because of the blossoming of the lotus flowers. Many young ladies would bring a lotus lantern to the Bi River embankment on the outskirts of the capital and place it there for smooth and prosperous lives.
Qian Yiyun had gone to place the lotus lanterns with Xue Ling last year. She felt disgusted at the thought of Xue Ling.
“Bring everything to Qiongzhi Courtyard,” Qian Yiyun instructed a maid.
It was not safe in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence either. Since her brother and sister-in-law were not around, she decided not to leave Qiongzhi Courtyard with the two children.
She had tasted trouble once and did not dare send the children into the tiger’s den again.
“Yes, Princess,” the maid replied and went to get her things.
…
In Xue Yingyue’s courtyard, a maid reported to Xue Yingyue that the person they had sent to monitor Qiongzhi Courtyard had been beaten up by Qian Yiyun. She was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand.
“Presumptuous! She’s too presumptuous!”
How dare Qian Yiyun hit the people I installed?
The maid shrank back and stood at the side, not daring to say a word as she watched the furious Old Madam.
Rather than saying that the Princess was presumptuous, it would be more accurate to say that the Old Madam was too bold. She even dared to install someone to keep an eye on the main courtyard openly.
Prince Zhan Yun was good-tempered. Did Old Madam really think he could not do anything to her?
“Ling Long, go and bring that girl here. I want to see what she wants!” she instructed the maid.
“Bring… Bring her?” Ling Long was shocked.
Does she want me to find Princess? Did she forget that Princess is no longer that young girl who would let Old Madam bully her as she pleased? She will definitely retaliate if Old Madam dares to say anything bad about her.
“Old Madam, the Princess won’t come, right?” she asked uncertainly.
“If she dares to not come, send someone to kidnap her!” the Old Madam said fiercely, furious.
Does this little girl think she can overturn the heavens? She’s getting bolder after her trip to the southern border. Will she still listen to me in the future if I don’t teach her a lesson this time?
She had really forgotten that Qian Yiyun had never listened to her after what had happened five years ago.
Even when she got along with Xue Ling in the past, she would call the Old Madam “that old woman”. However, Xue Ling never dared to tell the Old Madam about the disrespectful words Qian Yiyun used.
“Kidnap her here?” The maid was completely stunned.
The Old Madam made it sound like it would be easy to kidnap her.
