Her other granddaughter does not have an agreeable disposition, she has been devoted to King Qin for many years, refusing to marry anyone else. Now that Cai Wei had sequestered him, she would surely take out her anger on them for accepting Cai Wei’s family into their mansion and sending Cai Wei into the palace. In addition, her son-in-law Li Kaifeng is prone to favoritism, always putting his wife ahead of everything, the matter of Cai Wei would surely lead to their resentment!
Du Yongzhi reassured his parents, "Father, Mother, the elders need not worry, it has been an ancient custom for men to have multiple wives and concubines. Let the two sisters marry into King Qin’s Mansion together. Rui Zhu belongs to the nobility, fit to be the main consort, Young Lady Mu is of outstanding beauty, suited to be a concubine to serve the King. The two sisters serving the same husband could even become a wonderful story!"
"A wonderful story, my ass——"
Du Ruohai spat vulgarly, anxiously saying: "Can that girl Rui Zhu tolerate others? By now, she must hate us to death already!"
"Dad, what should we do then?"
The Du brothers all showed an anxious look upon hearing that their niece might explode in anger.
It’s not that they were scared of Rui Zhu, but rather afraid of their brother-in-law, Rui Zhu’s father - General Li Kaifeng.
Li Kaifeng, who had been campaigning on the battlefield, is a soldier who wouldn’t even blink when a blade is on his neck, with a unique flaw - spoiling his daughter. Not only does he follow his daughter’s words, he puts her above everything.
Therefore, if Rui Zhu develops a hatred for them, then it is likely that Li Kaifeng would also hold a grudge against them following his daughter’s lead. And to be hated by the General, wouldn’t this make them anxious?
More worried than them was Madam Wang of Duke An’s family.
She had set her heart on sending Cai Wei into the palace, relying on her to find a noble to support the Duke An’s Mansion, but this little b*tch not only didn’t find any nobles, but she also didn’t check on Du Meiren for her. Instead, she seduced the man of her own granddaughter and this really infuriated her. It’s like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet, which caused endless regret and distress!
"This can’t go on, we can’t allow her to continue seducing the King, we need to stop her. Otherwise, the Li family will be dissatisfied with our Duke’s Mansion."
Madam Wang, sitting on the armchair, was heartbroken and slammed her hand on the table.
Duke An sighed and said, "You’ve seen how interested King Qin currently is in Young Lady Mu. How can we interfere? Besides, King Qin isn’t easy to provoke. If we offend him, wouldn’t it be more troublesome than offending the Great General?"
With these words, it left the mother and sons speechless and silenced.
They can’t afford to offend the Great General’s Mansion, but they can afford even less to offend King Qin!
Although His Highness King Qin looks elegant and courteous, like an elegant scholar, they know how troublesome he actually is.
Just as they were silent, Hua Mei reported, "Master, Madam, the eldest and second Miss as well as the third young lady have returned. They have entered the second door and will soon reach the Osmanthus Pavilion."
"Oh? They’ve returned already?"
Du Yongbang, who had been worried about his twin daughters, received the news of their return. He immediately got up and went to the door.
Young Lady Mu went to the palace once and brought back a royal prince. His twin daughters are a thousand times better than that filly, they should definitely be luckier than her, perhaps there will be tremendous gains!
Du Yongbang hurriedly reached the second door, seeing his twin daughters being helped by maids, coming towards him.
The eldest daughter was fine, only her face was long, but the second daughter walked with a limp, and her head wrapped in thick gauze.
"What happened here?"
