But after listening for a while, the old lady of the marquis’s residence becomes jealous.
Although Old Princess Consort Chu didn’t mean to complain about her sister’s family. However, the old lady is a discerning person. She immediately recognized the crux of the problem and said, “The Old Princess Consort is kind-hearted, but your sister… doesn’t think of you too much!”
Old Princess Consort Chu sighed and said, “I have only one sister. She is spoiled by our father. I can’t ignore her as an elder sister. When I see my father and mother in the future, I will be blamed by the two elders. Xingzhou is also a procrastinator. He just doesn’t tell me how his aunt is now. I can’t put my heart down, and I can’t get better.”
When she said this, Old Princess Consort Chu also took a special look at Miantang, apparently expecting Miantang to bring a message for her son.
Miantang did not look at the Old Princess Consort but ate the cake in her hand wholeheartedly. Recently, she doesn’t know why. Her appetite was so good that she can even eat two large bowls at a meal.
As for what Old Princess Consort Chu said to her, she just pretended that she didn’t hear. At first, she thought that her second uncle was enough to make a fool of herself, but this aunt Lian was worse than her second uncle. Not only did she make trouble behind her and speak ill of others, but she also dragged others back in critical times.
However, she is the sister of Old Princess Consort Chu. If Old Princess Consort Chu doesn’t mind, her future daughter-in-law won’t be able to say anything, but she won’t be eager to rush around for the Lian family.
After a chat with the old lady, Miantang is going to send food to Prince Huaiyang.
He recently stayed in the government office. Other things are all right, but his eating hours are off. So Miantang brings him food every noon and brings out dinner.
Although Servant Li was away, Miantang also learned 30 percent of her cooking skills. When she had nothing to do usually, she make soup. In addition to making her own special dishes, she also specially cut new melons for Prince Huaiyang after cooking.
When she packed the food box and changed clothes, the Old Princess Consort called for her to come over and talk. She only talked to her face-to-face with the gong and asked her to intercede with her son and save her aunt’s family as soon as possible.
“I can see that Xingzhou listened to what you said. Go and tell him, how can his relative be in trouble and stay idle, but he doesn’t listen?”
Miantang smiled and handed a melon to the Old Princess Consort, Then she said slowly, “You are kind-hearted, which is something we should learn. But don’t you know the temper of Prince Huaiyang? When he is treated well by others, he can still return three points of courtesy. But if others snub him, he can remember the person for a lifetime. These days, I advised him. But he said with a cold face, Aunt Lian doesn’t listen to advice, and always implicates you repeatedly. Other things, it’s easy to say, but if you were caught by a thief and became something that others can blackmail. He doesn’t know how passive he should be now. ”
Miantang spoke slowly, while the Old Princess Consort was thinking about her sister’s intention and finally come a little clearer about it.
She originally thought that her son was annoyed by her aunt’s ignorance and almost implicated her, so she was angry, but she didn’t think about what would happen if her son was held in such a position.
“Well… But now I’m fine? When I see my sister, I will reprimand her…”
Miantang smiled, “The Prince said that although Kings of different surnames might sound good, it is also hereditary. It can be said that the title that can be borne will be taken back one day. If something goes wrong, you will be cut off all over the family. The nobles such as Prince Huaiyang Residence, which of them are not educating their children from childhood to be modest and upright and should not be a burden to the family. However, their children are properly educated, but some distant relatives rely on their relatives. For some reason, they faked the power of the tiger and committed some acts of treachery and criminal offenses, which implicated the cautious upright people and gave them a bad reputation… ”
When Miantang said this, Old Princess Consort Chu didn’t like to hear it, “Is this the words of Xingzhou, or yours? Although my sister is a bit harsh, she is not a person who commits crimes, how can she let out royal residence bear the name?”
Miantang was upset and didn’t panic, she just smiled, “I am being talkative today. It should have been the prince who told you that. But the Lian family originally recommended countless sons of the clans to the prince. I don’t know how they would do anything at ordinary times. This time, several sons of the Lian family volunteered to do some work for the renovation of the royal residence. I thought they were relatives and nodded and agreed. You know, the money for repairing the royal residence now comes from my dowry, so I paid more attention. But I found that the silver of the recent repair costs was wrong. After such a careful investigation, the prince knew that it was Lord Lian’s nephew who was greedy. He is in charge of the grain depot in the county at ordinary times, and the prince asked people to check the accounts, and unexpectedly found that he was selling military food privately. Now the prince is angry, and here come the words I just said… ”
In fact, Old Princess Consort Chu has lived in a muddle all her life. Too complicated things are all brainless. Now when Miantang said this, she was shocked, “But this is not my sister’s greed… Why should she be offended by Xingzhou…”
Miantang’s smile gradually converged, “I heard that the nephew was not a first offender, and he had once perverted the law for selfish ends. But every time his aunt begged you, you will ask the prince to be lenient, which made the matter smaller. The recidivist used to be in charge of the state’s water and wood project. There was more oil and water, and the prince finally had no way to allocate him to become a grain officer, but he still could not do it well. If his aunt is fine, she should be sitting in the hall crying with you, stating that it’s not easy for her nephew’s mother to lose him at an early age. The prince is very filial. There are many things that he doesn’t want to come with you. He is happy to spend some money to make you happy. After all, you are his mother, and you will never help others bully your son on major issues. But if Aunt Lian doesn’t divide between inside and outside, she will always be such a burden to the prince. You can bear it, but I can’t bear it! My man, why should he be bullied by irrelevant cats and dogs? ”
When Miantang said this, the willow eyebrows were high, and all that was in her eyes was a steaming evil spirit.
Old Princess Consort Chu saw the way she stretched out her hand to teach Aunt Lian a lesson. She knew that the girl was not good-tempered. She threw a knife and shrank her neck uncontrollably in fright. Then she said with an uncomfortable face, “Look at what you said, can I can let outsiders bully my son?”
Miantang’s anger was relaxed, and she changed her face and said with a smile, “That’s all right, so the Lian family needs to be straightened out. What to do must be clear to the prince. Why should you rush him out? Once Aunt Lian has learned enough lessons, she won’t always fill the prince with inconspicuous children anymore. The prince can do things with all his heart and contentment, and the life of our residence can be better, isn’t it?”
The Old Princess Consort was intrigued by Miantang’s words. She felt that it was a shame to talk to her son. She sighed, “What you young people think is more comprehensive than me, just don’t let me see my parents in the future.”
After Miantang knocked off the Old Princess Consort, she went out of the house to send food to Cui Xingzhou.
Unexpectedly, he was standing in the corridor waiting for her.
Cui Xingzhou listened to all the words Miantang had just said to scare his mother.
When she came out, the tall man just hissed with his long fingers out of his mouth and pulled her out.
Miantang looked at him and said, “I have learned nothing from what Servant Li taught me. I am not polite when talking to the Old Princess Consort just now. Are you upset?”
Cui Xingzhou lowered his head, his long black eyes were shimmering, and his thin lips slightly reminded her, “Where is the momentum of your cannibalism just now? Why did the lioness turn into a cat in a flash?”
Miantang half bit her lip and did not speak. Her big eyes seemed to look at him with sparkling light.
Cui Xingzhou couldn’t stand the pitiful look of Miantang. Even though he knew she was very arrogant with outsiders, he still couldn’t help holding her up with heartache and said in a low voice, “Remember what you said, don’t let outsiders bully your man…”
As for the work of mending the rotten mud pond for the Lian family, Prince Huaiyang himself has been numb, but his mother has never thought about whether will he be in a difficult position and has always helped his sister. After a long time, he can only explain himself.
After all, he is not an unfilial villain. Unless he has to, he has no habit of always making his mother angry.
However, Miantang could see the discomfort in his heart, and he told his mother what he was inconvenient to say. This kind of comfort of thinking about himself and taking out his anger was something he had never experienced since childhood.
Now he also understood why Miantang had given all the fat jobs to repair the residence to those losers despite his obstruction. She was determined to wait for them to corrupt and stop his mother’s mouth.
After all, if Aunt Lian really came back, she would be stubborn and come to seek welfare for the Lian family. With such a lesson in the past, Miantang can break it up with his mother.
Cui Xingzhou once again felt relieved for breaking the marriage contract with his cousin Lian Binglan. Even vaguely afraid, if he had missed Liu Miantang, would he still fall in love with others in his life?
“After a long time of absence, I miss your soft words. I’m hungry and thirsty. Why don’t we have some sweet water and dew to relieve my lovesickness?” Speaking of this, he could not help but lowered his head and kiss Miantang’s bright red lips.
But before these lingering kisses deepened, he heard someone coughing heavily.
Cui Xingzhou looked up unhappily, and his friend Zhao Quan also looked at him unhappily.
Damn it, Prince Huaiyang, who is always insensitive to women, is an expert at flirting with women. The shameless sweet words of others were so brazenly spoken that their tongues were not trembling!
It is no wonder that Miantang and other women who are not deeply involved in the world will be fascinated by Cui Xingzhou.
At this time, Zhao Quan deeply examined himself. Was he too honest when pursuing beauty?
Cui Xingzhou was interrupted by his cough. He regained his cool and indifferent appearance again. He only held Miantang’s hand and asked, “Why are you here?”
The Zhennan Marquis said with a bad tone, “It’s nothing, I’m just taking a walk in my own yard! But aren’t you and I going to attend the banquet of Duke Ding Rong later? But you are still killing time here.”
Cui Xingzhou then remembered that he had come to tell Miantang that he didn’t need to send dinner today.
But at the moment, he didn’t want to be separated from Miantang, so he lowered his head and asked her whether she would like to go with him.
