"If the princess comes here as a bride of the Wen family and hires an aunt for the fourth brother, then the princess should know that a nephew's wife should never come into her brother-in-law's room."
Qiao Yuyan was dumbfounded. This is... what Wen Tingyuan can say?!
He could actually say such things to a girl. Is this the same person she knows?
Princess Jiahe was also frightened. She looked at Wen Tingyuan and was unable to speak a word.
What she said just now was originally used to humiliate Qiao Yuyan. After all, this is a matter between women. If a man's family, Pingdao, shouldn't he walk away immediately?
He... a person as brilliant as him would actually talk to her like this?
But Wen Tingyuan hadn't stopped yet. He looked at Jiahe's face and his tone became more serious, "If the princess comes here with the identity of a royal princess, then she should know even more what her words and deeds mean.
From ancient times to the present, I have never seen a princess who would go to the courtier's backyard and take care of the affairs of the inner courtyard for the master. I have never heard of a princess who would hire a prince-in-law for a prince who has not yet officially married.
From the concubine’s room.”
"You..." Jiahe turned pale with anger and looked at Wen Tingyuan as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him.
But Wen Tingyuan just looked at her coldly, "Therefore, in public and private matters, princess, you should not say what you just said.
In the future, you should think more carefully about your actions as wife of my Wen family. Although you may be a wealthy person, you still carry my Wen family name, and I think the Holy Spirit also agrees with this."
As he spoke, he stopped looking at Jiahe and turned to Qiao Yuyan, "Looking at it like this, it's probably going to rain soon. I'll take you back to your yard!"
Qiao Yuyan stood up with him in a daze, and when passing by Princess Jiahe, she did not forget to salute, and then followed Wen Tingyuan out.
After walking for a long time, Qiao Yuyan said hesitantly, "She is a princess after all. Why are you talking to her like this? I'm afraid it will make her feel uncomfortable and jealous."
"I would rather make her hate me!" Wen Tingyuan took half a step forward before she turned his head and smiled at her, "You don't have to be afraid of her in the future. After all, you are still her aunt!
This dynasty values filial piety. Even if you are not her serious elder, you can still be considered an elder. I just want her to know my attitude so that she will not call you a princess in front of you in the future."
Qiao Yuyan bit her lip and said nothing. Wen Tingyuan added, "After all, you and I are one from now on. Even if I leave all the matters in the inner court to you, I still have to share some of the things that I can do. Otherwise, if you
Saying I can't handle it is not a good thing for me."
Qiao Yuyan found this explanation acceptable. She nodded gently, "I understand. I'm not as weak as you think. Don't worry!"
While talking, Wen Tingyuan stopped when he arrived at Qingxitai, "I guess after Wen Liang and Jiahe's wedding is over, the two families will also discuss our wedding date. What are your thoughts?"
"Thoughts?" Qiao Yuyan was caught off guard by the question, "Didn't the elders of the two parents sit together to discuss this? Why...are you asking about my thoughts?"
"Having said that, I still want to ask your opinion. When do you think is the best time to get married?"
Qiao Yuyan thought about it seriously after hearing this, "My mother will be promoted in two months. I'm afraid she is still in confinement during the New Year. After the New Year, you will attend the Spring Festival, so I can't delay you.
If you can do well in the exam, it would be best to stay in the Hanlin Academy as an editor. If you do worse, you may be awarded a local official position, then... I'm afraid it's hard to say, if you..."
She wanted to say that she had failed in the exam, but she denied it before she could say it, "It is impossible to fail in the exam. After all, you took the Xie Yuan exam and have always been so good."
Wen Tingyuan stood by and listened to her calculations quietly. Only then did he ask, "Then...when do you want to do it?"
Qiao Yuyan shook her head, "I don't know either. Anyway, it can't be before your spring, so let's let the elders of the family decide. They are experienced and will definitely know when is the right time."
Wen Tingyuan did not object anymore and watched her go in before turning back to the outer courtyard.
Now the Qiao family is used to this talented and handsome uncle appearing in the garden, and everyone greets him with a smile when they see him.
Wen Tingyuan casually called a mother who was working and asked, "Who lives in that courtyard?"
"You are talking about Qiyun Pavilion, right? That is our Aunt Pei's yard, but she made a mistake last time and the master grounded her. It has been several months, so it seems deserted now."
The mother-in-law is a talker, and she talks about everything she knows.
After she left, Wen Tingyuan stood there and looked at Qiyun Pavilion for a while before leaving.
At this time, Mrs. Xu already knew the purpose of the princess' visit. She didn't speak for a long time after hearing this. After a while under the worried eyes of Aunt Liu, she sighed longly and said, "Come on, I can't do it now."
Nothing can be done."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Huancui walking in in a hurry.
Aunt Liu glanced at her, causing Huancui to have a look of embarrassment on her face. She gritted her teeth and pleaded with her eyes, but she still frowned and shook her head.
Huancui had no choice but to turn around and go out.
As soon as she took a step, Mrs. Xu spoke, "What are you two doing? I'm not asleep. Is there anything you can't say to me?"
Huan Cui had no choice but to walk in at this time. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said: "Originally, I wanted to ask my wife what she wanted for dinner. When I came in and saw that my wife was not awake, I didn't dare to say anything."
Mrs. Xu looked at her with soft eyes, "You kid, you have been with me for so many years, don't I even understand you? After all these years, you haven't learned to lie well."
Huancui raised her face and looked at Mrs. Xu in surprise, but saw that she was about to start, so she quickly walked over, and she and Aunt Liu neatly stuffed a big pillow behind her back.
"I've been suffering from heartburn and heartburn recently with my child on my stomach. How can I eat anything at night? You don't know. How could you ask me about such a thing at this time?"
Mrs. Xu gave her an angry look, then smiled lightly and said, "Okay, what's the embarrassing thing that you dare not say? Just say it! I'm listening!"
Aunt Liu's face suddenly dropped, and Huancui also felt a little regretful, but when facing Mrs. Xu's eyes, she really couldn't lie, so she had to tell the truth, "The second girl is here and said... she wants to come in."
Look at the wife, she... He still has something to say to the wife."
Aunt Liu was furious at the side. At this time, why did she bring up the two girls?
If it weren't for that second girl, why would the wife, the eldest girl, mother and daughter not talk to each other?
