Chapter 231: Instead of asking about your well-being, why not give me a huge sum of money?
Xiao Guoer paused, and immediately realized that she had gotten carried away. Fearing that he would regret it, she apologized immediately, "It's all my fault that I was too impatient and forgot that the prince hadn't finished his dinner yet. I deserve to die!"
As she was about to pick up the chopsticks again to serve him food, she was unexpectedly blocked by him with his hand.
Zhao Yunrong subconsciously raised his hand to stop her, but he didn't expect to touch her palm. The soft touch made him feel a strange feeling in his heart.
His hand stopped in mid-air, and when he met her puzzled, clear eyes, he slowly put his hand down.
"I am full, no need to serve more food. It is past mealtime now, there is no food in the kitchen, you can eat here."
At the end, he added uncomfortably, "So that I don't get the reputation of being harsh on my servants." Then he stood up and left.
Xiao Guoer silently retorted to his back, "I'm not your servant! I'm only here for a year!"
Forget it, since he helped her pass the message to Yingniang, she wouldn't bother with this insignificant title!
As Zhao Yunrong left, the eunuch beside him followed him, and Xiao Guoer was the only one left in the room.
She tore a chicken leg and stuffed it into her mouth without any scruples or image. The next second, her saliva was flowing even more.
Ah, it smells really good! This prince's food quality is really extraordinary!
After eating and drinking, she returned to the tea room. Tonight was Xia Lan's night duty, so she borrowed pen, ink, paper and inkstone from Xia Lan and returned to her room.
But when she picked up the pen, she suddenly didn't know how to start.
There were thousands of questions in my mind that I wanted to ask Yingniang. I wanted to ask her why she had to get married? And why did she have to marry so far away! Didn't she miss her?
But in the end, I wasn't able to write down any of these questions.
Things have become a foregone conclusion. No matter how unhappy she is, she cannot change the fact that Yingniang has become Chen Fengyao's concubine.
Talking too much will only add to her troubles, so it’s better not to say anything.
In the end, she only said a few words to explain that she was fine and hoped that her sister was fine. She also told her that if she felt that her life was not going well, she could just write back and she would find a way to help her.
Finally, she wanted to put some silver bills in the envelope, but then she thought that Yingniang was in the backyard and might have more opportunities to use small change. She also didn't know if she would have many opportunities to exchange silver bills for small change in the backyard, so she went to find Wang Xiyuan to exchange for a large bag of small change.
Giving something with you is not as practical and useful as giving money directly!
With money, you can buy whatever you need. Even if you are inconvenienced in the backyard, you can still use money to ask someone to buy something for you.
As always, money makes things easier!
When Xiao Guoer handed Zhao Yunrong a letter with a silver note and a bag of change, he raised his eyebrows.
"Nothing else? General Zheng is leading a group of troops to the northwest border. You don't have to worry about taking too much stuff with you. It will be inconvenient for him to carry it. Just bring whatever you want."
Xiao Guoer shook her head. "Instead of asking about my well-being, it's better to give me a huge sum of money!"
Zhao Yunrong paused for a moment and then burst out laughing.
This is really her style. There is nothing to express her feelings, only a bag of silver and money. It is really... simple, crude and practical.
"Okay then. I'll ask General Zheng to pass it on."
After Zhao Yunrong finished speaking, he saw that Xiao Guoer did not leave, but looked hesitant, so he asked, "What else?"
Xiao Guoer thought that she had already owed someone a favor this time, and that matter was not a difficult matter, just a piece of cake, so she asked, "Could you trouble the prince to tell General Zheng to find out if my sister is doing well? My sister will definitely write back, and please bring my sister's reply back when General Zheng returns."
"Well, I will pass on the message."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."
Zhao Yunrong stared at the letter and a bag of silver in her hands in a daze. A "sister" who had no blood relationship with her could make her so open-hearted. It really made people... feel a little jealous.
Then, he couldn't help but laugh at himself and put the ridiculous thought that suddenly came to his mind behind him.
At that time, Xiao Guo'er didn't know that Yingniang was indeed having a hard time living in Chen Fengyao's backyard.
Ever since the wedding night in the capital, when Yingniang vomited all over Chen Fengyao, Chen Fengyao has never been to Yingniang's room again, nor has he ever asked about Yingniang's affairs.
It’s not because Chen Fengyao has given up on Yingniang, he just wants to visit her after this period of time.
Firstly, Chen Fengyao was busy with military affairs. He had stayed in Shangjing City for a long time. When he returned to the northwest border, there were many military affairs that needed to be dealt with. He was too busy to get away.
Secondly, he also wanted to give Yingniang the cold shoulder and let her think carefully about the fact that he was her future husband and her support for the rest of her life. When she slowly figured it out and forgot about Zhou Fangye, he would pamper her again, so that he wouldn't have to see her endure everything but still look disgusted with him!
When Chen Fengyao thought of the scene on their wedding night, he felt so angry that his forehead ached.
Therefore, in the month since he came back, he either lived directly in the military camp or went back to the mansion. He only went to Xiao Chuchu's room twice and never stayed in the mansion for long.
Chen Fengyao just thought that since Yingniang was already his concubine, he just had to wait for her to change her mind.
However, he didn't expect that his cold attitude towards Yingniang was unintentionally sending a signal to everyone in the mansion - the general's new concubine had fallen out of favor!
To be precise, she was despised by the general before she even gained his favor!
From the concubines headed by Xiao Chuchu to the servants in the mansion, seeing that their general was so cold to the new concubine Yingniang, not only did he not spend the night in her room, he even ignored her, they all started gossiping behind her back. Which newly married concubine would not be favored for a few days?
In addition, the news that the general left her room in anger in the middle of the night in Shangjing City that day was widely spread, and people speculated that the new concubine had offended the general in some way, causing the general to completely dislike her!
As a result, Yingniang's life became difficult.
