Chapter 106 – The Trick Used

However, Cui Fu listened to Miantang’s words of weakness and couldn’t help but tone down her voice, “Since I’m taking charge of this, you and mother should not care about it. But please remember, mother, if Aunt Lian comes to find you, don’t be soft-hearted and break the rules. The fifth master is just a concubine’s son. Even if you treat people kindly, it can’t be the same as the legitimate one and let them break the rules of the residence.”

 

The Old Princess Consort knew that her daughter couldn’t tolerate Lian-Chu coming to play the role of acting pity, but she said so in front of Miantang, which was too disrespectful, and she couldn’t help staring at Cui Fu.

 

Cui Fu also knew that her words speaks faster than her mind, which made her mother unhappy, so she signal Miantang, “Do you also think that what I said was wrong?”

 

Miantang looked awkward and didn’t know what to say. She just smiled at Cui Fu, “My sister is taking the prince into consideration. I really envy him to have such a sister like you…”

 

The words were very useful for Cui Fu. She has already made up her mind. She must not let the Lian family ask for too much.

 

The requirements of the Lian family are actually the same as those of Cui Xingzhou when he was going to marry Lian Binglan. But are they insane? Is Lian Binglan still the fiancee of Prince Huaiyang?

 

So after drinking tea, Cui Fu asked the steward to rewrite the list for her.

 

After Cui Fu left, the Old Princess Consort looked at Miantang and said, “You are directing her to be the one that charges forward!”

 

Miantang couldn’t help laughing. The Old Princess Consort was a little uneasy by her smile and asked, “What are you laughing at?”

 

Miantang refill the teacup for her mother-in-law and said in a soft voice, “I always felt that the prince was open-minded and unique. I thought it was inherited from the wisdom of the deceased father-in-law. Now I realized that my mother was not too conceited too, but was a person who can see things clearly.”

 

The Old Princess Consort was always praised for her grace and elegance. She is a blessed person. But being praised for being intelligent is really the flattery of life!

 

At the moment, she felt a little better. She also lowered her composture and said with a calm and determined attitude, “You are not afraid of Aunt Lian, but pretend to be like that in front of Fu’er. I have to be blind to not see it!”

 

Miantang picked up her jade-like beauty fist, and help the Old Princess Consort to massage gently, and say, “Actually, I’m not pretending. I really can’t bring myself to speak. The fifth master is going to get married to your niece. According to the right principle, I should provide more money as a sister-in-law. But when the prince entered the capital this time, everywhere needed to be managed. There are too many places for money. After he came back to check the accounts with me yesterday, I found that the money in the residence was not much. If the fifth master had to follow the previous gift list, I’m afraid that the prince’s entry into the capital will show a poor foundation. It is an offense and a hidden danger to be in a place that can’t be managed. Do you think I can take it easy? But I am really ashamed to tell people that I have no money. People look down on me because I am stingy. So when my sister said that she will take charge, I was relieved. At least, I was really ashamed to refuse Aunt Lian. ”

 

Old Princess Consort Chu didn’t know that the residence was this poor. She could not bother about Miantang directing her daughter, Cui Fu, to fight with Aunt Lian. She hurriedly said, “If Xingzhou has difficulty, I still have some farm property in my dowry…”

 

Miantang smiled, “These are all for sister. How can you help us? As long as we manage carefully, the prince’s residence can survive this. I think my sister is a shrewd person, so you don’t have to worry, mother.”

 

After Miantang comforted the old princess consort, she led the maid back to her yard.

 

Cui Xingzhou has just returned back from the military camp and is warming in the bath barrel behind the panel. When Miantang turned around, she saw his long hair, and his strong back muscles were covered with mercury dots.

 

Although Miantang has slept with the man back and forth several times, every time she looks at him being so charming and attractive, she can’t help but heart race.

 

It is said that a woman’s 18th birthday was a sign of change, but her husband has also changed. As he grows older, he becomes more and more imposing. Especially when his eyes look through her thick curly eyelashes, it makes people can’t help thinking of the many times when they are passionate in bed. The expression he looked at herself was the same too…

 

Cui Xingzhou now also knows that his wife is a bit lecherous, but looking at himself in such a barefaced way is too similar to sneaking a beautiful woman into a dark alley in the street.

 

So he couldn’t help extending his arm to Miantang and said, “Is that so interesting just by looking? Do you want to touch it?”

 

Miantang came back to her sense and said with a red face, “I want to touch it, but I’m afraid that you will suffer from the wind and cold after you practice your fist set all night!”

 

She didn’t understand before. She recalled when the prince was in North Street, he seemed to be obsessed with practicing boxing in the middle of the night.

 

At that time, she thought that he had inherited the ambition of training after hearing the morning call of the chicken and refined his martial arts skills with the mindset of starting work at dawn and returning only at nightfall. She really admired him.

 

However, when he went to the northwest, he did not practice boxing anymore. He was like a dog, sneaking into her bed day and night.

 

Recently, the prince has regained his enthusiasm for practicing his fist set. Every night, he begins to train again, and Miantang has gradually figured out the meaning of it.

 

Prince Huaiyang was still calm when he heard his little princess consort joking slyly. But when Miantang was close to the bathtub, he suddenly got up and kissed her on the face. The beads splashed from the bathtub splashed on her dress, causing Miantang to pound Cui Xingzhou’s shoulder and scream.

 

Cui Xingzhou was successful in the sneak attack, and his face showed a proud laugh.

 

He is always a mature man, but since he got married, he can smile freely in front of his princess consort like this without concealing.

 

They frolicked for a while, and the water in the tub was cold. Huanxue took a big towel and wanted to wipe it for the prince, but Miantang took over naturally and dressed Cui Xingzhou and changed his clothes by herself.

 

Although Servant Li gently reminded Miantang that she did not need to treat the maids as women, they should also do the work of serving the prince.

 

After all, they are all under the command of Miantang now. If the main hostess doesn’t agree, even the prince couldn’t privately take the maid of his wife as a concubine.

 

If she is always preventing them, it will reflect that the main hostess was a stingy person.

 

Miantang would listen to other advice, but she could not tolerate this. Her husband, why should she show it to the ladies?

 

So at night, Miantang asked, “Are all the servants in your barracks all men?”

 

Cui Xingzhou hugged Miantang pleasantly, closed his eyes, and said, “Even the flies passing by are male. If you don’t believe it, go and have a look. After marrying a female bug and becoming the princess consort, I can’t even use a more handsome servant boy!”

 

Miantang didn’t want to listen. She only bit Cui Xingzhou’s ear and said, “Who is the female bug?”

 

Cui Xingzhou held her face with the tip of his nose and said, “You are wrong. It is not a female bug, but a born nine-tailed fox! Not only does beauty charm people, but also the intelligent plotting of twists and turns in your mind, which is able to overturn the situation. Isn’t the embarrassment on the face of Lord Zhang when he came to see me today your masterpiece?”

 

Miantang was tickled by him and giggled, “Don’t put all of this on my head. I just told Lu Yi to secretly send my brother back to the town near the hard labor and let them arrange for someone to report to the official on the spot for a reward. The old man with the same name is not from me.”

 

It turned out that Lu Quan had secretly followed the Royal Guards who accompanied Liu Zhanpeng to the State of Hui and then to Prince Sui’s Residence. Naturally, she knew who was behind them.

 

Miantang arranged a newly established escort agency over there. Taking the opportunity of transporting goods, Liu Zhanpeng was drugged by the anesthetic secretly. He was placed in a box, walked through the post road, and returned to Mobei where he had served his sentence. Cui Xingzhou also found this coincidently by looking up the file while trying to catch the pigtail of Prince Sui. Miantang, however, was ingenious and gave Prince Sui a good shot back.

 

Didn’t Prince Sui carefully select an impartial and selfless minister for him? This pot of good wine must also be shared with Prince Sui.

 

However, Liu Miantang, after a little relief, could not help feeling a little melancholy, “… It’s just that the guards died when my brother was taken out privately… After he went back this time…”

 

Miantang said half of it but didn’t go on. Although she made a thorough arrangement to prove that her brother was not the one who killed the guards, it was hard to say how the prison officer would report and determine the punishment in the end.

 

Thinking of this, Miantang’s mind was also a little gloomy.

 

Between her husband and her brother, she chose her husband first this time. After all, she is not a father. She can’t sacrifice at all for the sake of this brother who despises her and her mother since childhood.

 

Cui Xingzhou, however, knew the contradictions in her heart, and only patted her on the shoulder and said, “He always has to learn some lesson, and he is trying to cling to you with the thought of turning over. I will arrange the other things properly. Don’t worry. Otherwise, the baby that will be born in the future only knows how to sigh all day. What should I do then?”

 

Miantang imagined the chubby baby-like dough, twisting its eyebrows sighing, and couldn’t help laughing.

 

Since her husband said so, he must have arrangements to save his brother from death. Miantang doesn’t think Liu Zhanpeng is pure and kind, nor is he close enough to her, but he is her half-brother. Even if bad things are done in the future, and are punished by heaven, she also hopes not to do it herself.

 

She has always wondered why she had a high reputation in the Mountain of Yang but suddenly left. Now, in addition to relationship injury, she also can’t get used to those bloody days. Although she is a tough woman, she is not a butcher who takes pleasure in killing people…

 

Thinking of this, she hugged his strong waist. Although she was living her life by plotting step by step, it is worth expecting. After all, she finally has the home she dreamed of since childhood.

 

Her husband and children are the most valuable people besides her grandfather.

 

Besides, Prince Sui had never thought that these moves to disgust Prince Huaiyang were buckled on his head in the end.

 

He had arrived in the capital at this time, and within a few days after arriving in the capital, the memorial of Lord Zhang’s impeachment of his connivance with his nephew to oppress the good people had reached the court!
