Chapter 800 Chapter 800
At the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, after seeing off Liu Ke and Pei Qiuyun, everyone took a breath.
After dinner, it was dark soon because the days are short in winter.
After respectfully seeing off the elders, the noise returned to silence, and Xu Lingqiao finally felt relieved after being worried all day.
Zhang Fanghui was about to give birth, and it was not convenient for her to go to other courtyards, so she simply invited Qi Yueniang, her three sisters-in-law, and a few young sisters-in-law to go to her courtyard.
Qi Yue Niang rubbed her sore waist and said, "Sister-in-law, I am old. I have had backaches today. Can I have tea and chat with you tomorrow?"
Everyone dared not refuse, and Song Guanzhou stepped forward to help her pinch a few times, which earned Qi Yueniang's comfortable praise, "Your cooking skills are quite good, but it's a pity that sister-in-law is really tired today. I will host you for a drink at Kuoyuezhai in the future, okay?"
"Thank you, sister-in-law, Lanxiang, please help me and serve me well."
After explaining a few things, Qi Yueniang left first. When she wanted to ask Xiao Yinxiu, Xiao Yinxiu also had a stern face and said, "There are a lot of messes in my room. It's better for you to have a relaxed and leisurely life and go and have fun."
Yes!
Fang Yaer was still in the side room of her house, waiting for her fate.
The men agreed to go to Pei Hua's room to chat and laugh, including Xu Lingbai and Xiao Bei, and they felt much more comfortable. Xiao Yinxiu left in a huff, leaving only Song Guanzhou, Xu Lingqiao and Pei Qiuyu. Zhang Fanghui looked around and said, "Forget it, we sisters can have tea in private."
Pei Qiuyu lowered his head and said, "Fourth cousin, my aunt has been feeling unwell these past two days and can't leave anyone by her side—"
As long as Song Guanzhou is around, Pei Qiuyu will always stay away.
Zhang Fanghui was not embarrassed. After giving a few instructions, she looked at Song Guanzhou and his sister, and finally laughed, "Forget it. We three sisters haven't chatted for a while. Let's do it today."
Rendong brought the maids, lighting the lamps, and arrived at Biluozhai. The maids served fresh autumn tea, freshly baked snacks, and an extra charcoal basin. Zhang Huifang was visibly pregnant, so Rendong heaved a sigh of relief only after she personally helped her sit on the couch.
"I thought my cousin might want to call me and Ling Qiao to have a close talk today, but I didn't expect that I would rush back before I even had dinner."
Xu Lingqiao looked at Song Guanzhou at this moment, "Come to think of it, you went to the Prince's Mansion yesterday and never came back. Sister Dong and her friends hurriedly packed their luggage to look for you, but something bad happened."
Ever since Xu Lingqiao heard Lanxiang's report in Shaohua Garden yesterday, she has been worried.
Apart from telling Honeysuckle a few words, I couldn't ask any other questions.
When Song Guanzhou came home today, Ling Qiao was not allowed to go and find out what was going on. Prince Ming and his wife came again, and she was busy running around, so she didn't have any chance.
Now, sitting here idly in the quiet night, I can no longer help but ask.
"The princess looks down on me. I went to pay my respects to her yesterday, but I didn't do it properly and almost got beaten." Song Guanzhou said calmly, but Zhang Fanghui and Xu Lingqiao were shocked when they heard it.
"Princess... why is this?"
It can't be for no reason.
Song Guanzhou raised his eyebrows, "Now, my second brother was punished by my father. My fourth cousin and my elder sister...didn't they hear anything about it?"
Zhang Fanghui sighed, "When the prince and my eldest sister had an argument, my husband and I knew about it. Shuangyue came to call out in a hurry. Rui'er's father heard it and wanted to go forward to persuade them, but I stopped Silang because I was not feeling well."
Xu Lingqiao also nodded slightly.
"Although I am a guest in the mansion, when Lianhua went to the kitchen, she also heard that the prince had taken in a new maid—"
Song Guanzhou chuckled out loud.
"That maid, her name is Fang Ya'er. She was originally the daughter of the old nanny of the Princess of the County. But I don't know why, but when I just came to their house yesterday, she pressured me to take her in and bring her back to be a beautiful lady for Silang."
"this--"
After hearing this, Zhang Huifang sighed.
"How can a married daughter interfere in her brother's bedroom affairs like this? It's really foolish."
Song Guanzhou sneered, "She is not stupid. She wanted to make it happen for my old lady, but she guessed it wouldn't go smoothly. She originally said she would have dinner together, but Prince Ming woke up from his nap and pulled his legs to leave."
Zhang Fanghui raised her eyes and said, "I heard that Prince Ming is very cunning."
Song Guanzhou shook his head. "What kind of person is he? He is just Silang's brother-in-law. It has nothing to do with me. But the character of this Princess is very similar to that of the old lady."
Zhang Fanghui smiled and shook her head, "We don't know about this either. I only heard about the fame of this princess after she married into the family. If we ask Rendong, I'm afraid she'll know more..."
I called Honeysuckle over, and when I asked her the question, she shook her head.
"When I followed the Crown Prince's wife, I did see the Princess several times, but she looked a lot younger than she is now. She looked more like the old lady of our Xiao family. Today, I secretly looked at her and she just talked about time. The Princess also looked tired."
"I'm afraid his temperament will change drastically when he gets angry."
Xu Lingqiao sighed softly, and Ren Dong nodded. "In the past, the Princess of the County had a gentle temperament, and was rarely as strong as she is now. Speaking of who is the most dignified in the mansion, I'm afraid it can't be better than the Princess of the County."
Zhang Fanghui smacked her lips, "Even if she is a decent person, she shouldn't bully Guan Zhou like this. It's her first time here, and she's my brother's wife. And she doesn't care about other people. We are just blood relatives, so she shouldn't be beaten and scolded at will."
Even towards servants, one should not be so arrogant.
Song Guanzhou took a sip of hot tea, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "He's so strong, it shows that being the head of the Prince's Mansion is not that easy."
After saying this, his eyebrows drooped, and his pair of straight eyelashes trembled slightly.
"If she doesn't make things difficult for me, we can keep to ourselves. But if she really wants to intervene, I'm not someone you can easily mess with now."
"That's it!"
Zhang Fanghui quickly comforted Song Guanzhou, "I'm afraid she will return home after the winter month. It may not be easy to meet again in the future. Don't bother with her. After all, that woman..., my second brother also accepted it with a smile -"
At this point, Zhang Fanghui couldn't help herself and covered her mouth and laughed.
"Speaking of the second brother of the prince, he is really a talent. He usually likes beauties, and there are many inside and outside the house, not just this one, but the eldest sister..., ugh!"
Xu Lingqiao rarely had conflicts with others, so when she heard that Song Guanzhou and the Princess had a quarrel, she felt worried.
"One is the princess of a county, and the other is the wife of a prince, but neither of them can get along with Guan Zhou. If they were distant relatives, it would be better to avoid them, but they are both close relatives, and Guan Zhou... has nowhere to hide."
Song Guanzhou waved his hand.
"It's not a big deal. As a human being, you can't expect everyone to be happy! Even if they are close relatives, you should just have less contact with them."
