Chaoli had said earlier that if Wang Yu needed anything, he could come to her. This was not without purpose.
Wang Yu nodded, "Don't worry, with the help of Mr. Cheng from Duke Cheng's Mansion, we have settled in the capital in the shortest possible time. I have to thank you and the Crown Prince for this. I know that Mr. Cheng must be looking out for your face."
He just helped me. With his relationship, it will be much easier for us to do business in the future."
"It's a small thing, no need to say thank you. In the future, you will have the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion behind you, and you might become an imperial merchant." Chaoli said with a smile.
Wang Yu didn't dare to think too much about this.
Even with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion behind them, they still need to be strong themselves.
Chaoli didn't say much, and she actually didn't need to say much. After all, after some time, Wei Xiwen might have the same idea.
Being in the center of a whirlpool like the capital, it is impossible not to care about anything. It is normal for people to go to higher places and water to flow to lower places.
After chatting for a while, Wang Yu stood up and left.
Chaoli rested for a while, read in the yard, and chatted with Pei Yu from time to time.
Not long after, Lan Xin walked in.
"This slave has met the Crown Princess."
Chaoli didn't even raise his eyelids, "What's the matter?"
"Back to the Imperial Concubine, the Second Madam got some good tricks and specially asked the Imperial Concubine to come and have a look." Lan Xin whispered.
Although Chaoli is the imperial concubine, she is still a junior, so it seems reasonable for Zhang to send someone over to ask her to talk.
"Oh? I didn't expect my second aunt to be interested in embroidery." Chaoli smiled.
Lan Xin's heart suddenly beat like a drum. She didn't know what Chaoli was thinking, let alone whether she was willing to go. If not, she could only find another way or wait for an opportunity.
Now that Princess Desao is away, Gu Hanzhang also goes to the morning court. This is actually the most convenient time, because neither of them will come back so soon.
If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome and it may not be so easy to bring Chaoli over.
In this case, I'm afraid the only option is to make dangerous moves.
Fortunately, they were prepared with both hands today, and Lan Cao also made some moves.
This was because they were worried that Chaoli would not want to go to the second house, so they made special preparations.
"Prince Princess, do you think you would like to go over so that I can send you a message?" Lan Xin asked again.
Chaoli smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, it's still early and I just want to chat with you."
Lan Xin was a little wary, "I wonder what the Crown Princess wants to tell this slave?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to ask you how you are doing in the outer courtyard and if you want me to send you back to your mother. I think you are aggrieved in my courtyard, so I'd better send you to your mother first. At least you are not a sweeper.
My maid." Chao Li said.
Lan Xin immediately knelt down and said, "Prince Concubine, I don't think so. Concubine Crown Prince's place is already very good."
Of course, it will get better and better in the future.
Seeing the frightened look on Lan Xin's face, Chaoli didn't say anything more.
"Okay, since you like being here, then stay and get up. Don't kneel." Chaoli nodded.
"Yes." Lan Xin stood up.
At this moment, Lan Xin was also very nervous, fearing that Chaoli would discover something.
Suddenly, Pei Yu walked in from outside.
"Miss, Qing Yi got into a fight with the Second Madam's maid, and now she's being pressed into the Second Madam's yard, saying she wants to be humiliated."
According to Pei Yu's ability, it is natural that he cannot solve this problem.
But after all, she was in the Hou Mansion, so of course she would not act rashly, so it would be best to come to Chaoli.
Chaoli took a deep look at Lan Xin and then turned to Pei Yu.
"Let's go, take Ruoruo to the second room. It just so happens that the second aunt didn't invite me to come over to see the tricks, so she went to take a look. By the way, we also wanted to see who Qingyi was quarreling with, and she wanted the second aunt to scold her. Qingyi is mine.
Maid, I have to bring him back." Chaoli paused, then looked at Lan Xin, "Lan Xin, you wait outside."
"Yes, Crown Princess." Lan Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
But for some reason, she always felt that Chaoli's look at her just now had some hidden meaning. She didn't know if it was her imagination.
It was as if she had seen everything.
Thinking of this, Lan Xin felt a little uneasy, worried that things would not go well today.
But she never followed Chaoli, so of course she couldn't say anything at this moment, so she could only stay in the yard.
Chaoli left with Pei Yu and Ruoruo and went to Zhang's yard.
Madam Zhang is sitting in the front hall, with a maid and Qing Yi kneeling on the floor.
"Qing Yi, you are my nephew's wife's maid. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be here to reprimand you. But you went too far and broke my medicine when you saw it. Then I must teach you a lesson for my nephew's wife.
I'll give it a try." Zhang's eyes were full of scrutiny.
From the time Qing Yi was brought here to now, she didn't even have the slightest fear.
Could it be that she thought Chaoli was going to stand up for her?
She's just a maid, not a very noble person.
As the eldest concubine of Gu Hanzhang, Chaoli had no reason to fall out with her because of a maid.
"Second Madam, I didn't do this on purpose. I accidentally broke the medicine cup because someone bumped into me." Qing Yi replied.
Since following Chao Li to the Hou Mansion, Qing Yi has become much tougher now.
Zhang's maid immediately retorted, "Madam, this slave was walking well. It was Qing Yi who bumped into her that broke her. I beg you, Madam, please spare me. I really didn't mean it."
"Second Madam clearly knows that this servant is not there. She bumped into me on purpose." Qing Yi snorted coldly.
Madam Zhang suddenly became angry, "How outrageous! A mere slave dares to yell in front of me, it's against you. Come here, drag me down and slap you, it seems I want to teach you a lesson for your master."
"
There were footsteps in the yard, and then a voice sounded.
"etc."
Mrs. Zhang suppressed the smile on her lips, but her face still looked angry.
"My nephew's wife is here." Ms. Zhang said.
Chaoli nodded slightly, "The second aunt called me over to see the tricks, why can't I come? But, I heard that my maid was escorted by the second aunt's people, I don't know what happened? If my maid is not right, I will naturally
If you want someone who is easy to discipline, then I won’t bother my second aunt to do the hard work.”
Obviously, what Zhang just said about punishing Qingyi was heard by Chaoli, so Chaoli said such a thing.
It's not difficult to understand what she means. She can handle her own maids by herself, and there is no need for Mr. Zhang to step in for her.
Zhang's face was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect Chaoli to be so disrespectful to her.
Originally, according to Zhang's idea, Chaoli should be calm on the surface, but who knew she didn't care at all.
"My nephew and wife, you can't say that. Your maid broke my medicine. Shouldn't you be punished?"
