Chapter 47: An unexpected surprise
Early mornings in late spring are the most comfortable. It's bright and clear, and there are birds singing gracefully outside the window. When you open the window, the remaining coolness in the air pours into the house, which is refreshing.
Ms. Qin was sitting in front of the dressing table, and Li Zhi was combing her hair. She whispered: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. It's time to go and greet the princess. Alas! I don't know how she is going to embarrass you? I treated the princess for you a few days ago.
The princess and grandma will definitely hate us for inviting us to Qingliangyuan to put out the fire."
Mrs. Qin said calmly: "I used to serve her wholeheartedly, but I never saw the princess liking me. What's the problem? She can even curse me a few times, but she can still make me kneel for a day?"
"That's not to say..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard Mrs. Jiang's voice outside: "Madam, madam, this is a great thing."
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Qin turned around, smiled helplessly, looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "What good things can happen to me here? How many sweet dreams did Mommy have last night?"
"It's not a dream, it's really a good thing."
Madam Jiang came and sat down in front of Madam Qin. She was Madam Qin's nanny, so her status was naturally different.
"I just came from the garden. I heard someone said that grandma was sick and had to rest for half a month. I didn't believe it at first, so I went over and took a look. Sure enough, the door to grandma's courtyard has not been opened yet."
"Why are you so good and so sick?"
Mrs. Qin was surprised. Lychee behind her said with a smile: "Don't be angry, right? When I came back last night, I didn't hear about punishing Aunt Gu and asked her to go back to the yard. Grandma has never suffered such a disadvantage, but in
In front of Aunt Xin, there is nothing I can do. It is normal if I get angry."
"Where is it?" Mrs. Jiang waved her hand, completely losing her usual calmness, and whispered excitedly: "I went to inquire about it again later, and said that my grandpa came to grandma's house last night and didn't know what he said. Then I saw
The master came out with a face full of anger, and also told the girls and women that grandma is sick and needs to rest and close the door for half a month. Madam, listen, how can this be an illness? It is clearly a grounding. "
"Oh my God!" Lychee's eyes widened and he murmured: "It's indeed a grounding. But I was worried about the princess, so I gave my grandma face. So, do you know? What's the truth behind the poisonous snake incident?
Fierce, is it actually grandma?"
"Of course, our master is such a smart man. Even Aunt Xin can't hide this from her, how can she hide it from him?"
Mrs. Jiang was almost dancing, and then she saw Mrs. Qin sitting there blankly like a wooden sculpture. Her eyes turned red, and she gently hugged her and choked with sobs: "My poor madam, I finally made a decision for you.
Let’s see if the slave who always worships superiors and defies inferiors will dare to treat you as a decoration in the future.”
Qin's eyes turned red, she shook her head and said softly: "After all, Sister Xin handled it properly, otherwise there would be no such good result."
"Of course Aunt Xin has some merit, but it also shows that my heart is not completely empty of my wife."
Li Zhi clapped her hands and said with a smile: "The princess and my grandfather have indulged my grandma all these years and made her get carried away. She really thought that she could walk away in this house. I didn't expect that Aunt Xin would come out now, with a better appearance and a better temperament than her."
She is bright and kind, and she also has kung fu. She is really an all-rounder. It is not easy for grandma to catch her mistakes, and she even rushes to find fault with her herself."
Mrs. Jiang nodded and said bitterly: "Grandma is too greedy. What else does Madam have besides this title? Apart from this title, Grandma has nothing else. In the end, she will even take away this title, and she won't even look at herself."
Is such a bad heart worthy of being the wife of the crown prince? Now, she has finally received her retribution. It’s a pity that she is a member of the Liao family, otherwise I would kill her this time."
"That's not the case. After all, she has an eldest young master, a fourth young master, and an eldest daughter. Even if she is not the daughter of the Liao family, she can still be more valuable than her son..."
Before Lychee could finish speaking, she suddenly heard the little girl outside the door say in surprise: "Master is here."
Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Jiang and others stood up in a hurry. Before they could greet him, they saw Gu Changting lift the curtain and enter the inner room.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince."
Gu Changting didn't even look at Li Zhi or Jiang, and only said to Qin: "You don't have to go to greet the princess today. I just came over there and asked for leave for you."
"Ah?" Mrs. Qin was surprised: "Why is this?"
Gu Changting sat down on the chair and muttered: "Jiaru is sick, so I asked her to rest for half a month, but the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. I'm thinking that during this big festival, I won't have anyone to take care of the house. Fortunately, you can
Tian is in good spirits, so I'll leave this matter to you."
"This...I haven't done any housework for several years, and suddenly..."
Mrs. Qin was pleasantly surprised at first, and then a look of embarrassment appeared on her face. Gu Changting knew what she was worried about, so he smiled and said, "Didn't you also organize the Dragon Boat Festival the year you first got married? I think that's good."
"Today is not what it used to be, it was just like this." Mrs. Qin sighed and thought: At that time, I was the legitimate mistress of the house. Once the order was given, who would dare to disobey the servants? Now my words are no longer true.
Who will listen carefully? How can this compare?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Gu Changting say casually: "You have always been weak and kind-hearted, but those minions are not easy to get along with. This matter is really difficult for you. But I think you and Nian Nian get along well."
, after what happened with the poisonous snake, you can be regarded as friends in times of need. She is a very merciless person. These servants in the house are still a little afraid of her even if they don't obey her. Why don't you two discuss it. Now, my father.
I’m not at home, it’s just a Dragon Boat Festival, there’s no need to make any extravagant arrangements, just get by.”
Only then did Mrs. Qin understand why Gu Changting dared to ground Ms. Liao before the Dragon Boat Festival. Thinking about Xin Nian's temperament, she couldn't help but smile and nod: "Yes, Sister Xin will definitely help me with all her heart. But... the princess...
"
"I have already made a promise to the princess that I will not make it difficult for you just because of this. Originally, Jiaru is sick, do we still have to force her to take on such a heavy burden? The princess is sensible after all."
Reasonable? Haha! I'm afraid I just feel guilty and can't be strong in front of my son.
Qin sneered in her heart, but naturally she would not expose it. She saw Gu Changting stood up and said: "Although I am not attending court today, the emperor still has errands to give. I have to go to the palace to discuss matters."
"Ah? So urgent? Have you had breakfast? The porridge is ready in my small kitchen. Why don't you have a bowl before leaving?"
"Need not……"
Gu Changting subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw Mrs. Qin's eyes full of affection and concern, his heart softened. He thought for a while and said, "It's too late now, why don't I come over for dinner tonight."
"Okay...okay."
