Chapter 321: 321 mother and child fall out with each other Chapter 321: 321 mother and child fall out with each other Speaking up to this point, Lady Sikong Yun’s originally gentle gaze suddenly turned sharp, and even her deity-like face seed sowhat distorted. Her tone was filled with a thick hatred.
Biyun was startled and quickly let go of Lady Sikong Yun’s hand, kneeling beside her.
Biyun knew that the “scourge” Lady Sikong Yun spoke of was none other than Sikong Mo, the true master of this Royal Residence.
It was common knowledge in Fengyang City that her highness and the Prince were at odds, but no one knew the reason why this mother and son had turned against each other.
It all seed to start back when the old Prince went to the battlefield. Following tradition, the Princess Consort and Sikong Mo, who was then the Princely Heir, went to the capital as hostages.
For a full two to three years, the old Prince died on the battlefield. The Princess Consort and Princely Heir only returned to Fengyang City to succeed the throne a year after the old Prince’s death. Since then, mother and son had turned against each other to the point where not even surface-level affection remained.
Similarly, since that ti, the Princess Consort had started to treat Rong Che, the Rong Family’s second son, as if he were her own child.
Biyun knelt for a long ti, her knees sore and aching, before Lady Sikong Yun gradually cald down.
Casting a sidelong glance at Biyun who was still kneeling on the ground, Lady Sikong Yun said indifferently, “Get up.”
“Yes, thank you Princess Consort.” Biyun stood up, frightened and apprehensive.
Biyun wasn’t one of the old servants by Lady Sikong Yun’s side but had been arranged to serve her only two years ago. However, she knew that in this Royal Residence, neither the Prince nor the highness could be offended.
The handmaids around the old Princess Consort had been replaced several tis over the years, yet their nas never changed. The Prince was better off as he seldom returned to the Royal Residence. Even on rare occasions when he did return, ordinary people couldn’t get close to him, so their safety was fairly secure.
In an effort to please Lady Sikong Yun, Biyun said, “The old Princess Consort has been in the Buddhist hall all afternoon and is unaware that today a rchant caravan selling furs arrived. They have all kinds of animal furs, and many households nearby have sent people to prepare several pieces. Princess Consort, do we want to see if our Royal Residence wants any…”
“Enough, what don’t we have in the storeroom? Are we really lacking a few pieces of fur?” Lady Sikong Yun said nonchalantly.
Biyun nodded, “This servant only ntioned it because I heard that the rchants have tiger skins up to two to three ters long. I was thinking, since Young Master Rong doesn’t have strong health, perhaps the Princess Consort might want to prepare so to keep him warm during the winter.”
Lady Sikong Yun’s eyes lit up, and her beauty shone through once more, “Then go arrange that, and have them bring their best goods over. Also, send soone to the Rong Residence and have Cheche co over to pick out so himself.”
When Lady Sikong Yun ntioned Rong Che, her facial expression suddenly softened, and she exuded a glow of maternal love. Biyun knew that the old Princess Consort was simply looking for ways to see Young Master Rong more often.
“Yes, this servant will make the arrangents right away.” Biyun excused herself.
Fortunately, when she went out at noon and saw the exotic furs, she had made a point of inquiring where these rchants were staying and knew which inn they were at.
After resting for a while following lunch, Ye Wenzheng prepared to leave.
Ye Jiu went out with him, and Chief Escort Head Lu approached them, “Young Master, let Lu lead the n to escort you this afternoon.”
Dongzi ca over with several people, “Chief Escort Head, wasn’t it arranged that I would take my n to accompany the Young Master when he goes out, while you personally stay to guard the goods?”
