Everyone in the mansion had been waiting in the front hall for a long time. He Yuxin was called back from school by his mother, who said that he had to meet the prince and the princess's cousin in person. Even He Runjia came back from her husband's house and was ready to see the cousin he had grown up with since childhood.
.
"The long-awaited and long-awaited arrival is finally here, let's go out quickly!" Shu Qingqing said and was about to get up, but was stopped by He Mufeng with quick eyes and hands.
"Why are you anxious? After all, we are meeting a member of the royal family. No matter how happy you are, don't be so unruly, and don't let others gossip." He Mufeng's tone was somewhat doting, and this kind of affectionate love was enviable.
He attracted many people, especially He Runjia.
She glanced at Shu Qingqing indifferently, and said with a slight smile: "The fourth prince is here today. Auntie should be more cautious. This is related to the face of the He family."
"Runjia, why are you talking to your aunt like this?" He Mufeng reprimanded in a low voice. It was more of a reminder than a reprimand. However, He Runjia did not appreciate it, and there was an impatient look on his face.
Shu Qingqing didn't like her niece very much when she first entered the house. She always felt that she spoke in a shady and arrogant way, but she never thought that she would be full of bad ideas until she witnessed He Runjia pushing Chu Miaoer into the pond.
Smiling proudly on the side, he could no longer look at her.
"Runjia reminds me that I won't be able to change my temper for a while, so how about you wait here while your uncle and I go to the door to welcome the fourth prince and the fourth princess in?" He Runjia said and ignored him.
With what kind of expression, He Mu Cang was pulled towards the door of the house, and He Yuxin, who was forgotten, followed closely behind him consciously.
"Qingqing, I think you seem to be targeting Runjia..." He Muchang reminded in a low voice, "It's better not to make it too obvious, otherwise you will know my sister-in-law's temper..."
She never told He Muchang about that incident, so he couldn't understand why his wife was always in tit-for-tat with his eldest niece.
"She didn't learn well at a young age, was disrespectful to her aunt, and spoke in the same sinister manner as her mother. It's already great that I can talk to her in a good manner. What else do you want from me?" Shu Qingqing looked away when she saw He Yuxin.
, leaned forward and whispered in his ear quietly.
How could He Yuxin not see it, but he has seen these situations many times since he was a child, and he learned to avoid them early on, pretending to be deaf and blind.
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right." He Muchang smiled helplessly and refused to argue. He knew his wife very well. If others gave her three points of shame, she would give others seven points.
Face, then she will kick her nose into her face.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the house, He Mufeng and the other three came out and stood with them, smiling, as if they were in harmony.
Not long after, the carriage slowly stopped at the door of He Mansion.
He Runjia saw the person on the horse at the first glance. The person's hair was tied on top of his head with a jade crown, his face was as sharp as a sculpture, and his chin was slightly raised. That noble posture must be that of the Fourth Prince.
The man also looked towards her, and He Runjia met his eyes unexpectedly, and lost her consciousness for a moment. However, the man's originally affectionate eyes gradually became indifferent and sharp, and he suddenly looked away from her face.
"I've met the fourth prince and the fourth princess." It was Shu Qingqing's loud shout that brought He Runjia back to her senses and quickly knelt down to greet them.
"Uncles and aunties, get up." Chu Miao'er was also happy to see Shu Qingqing. He stepped forward to take her hand, helped her up and said with a smile: "Miao'er just went home to visit relatives. He didn't even prepare the meeting gift.
Why do uncles and aunts have to pay such a big courtesy? There are so many rules in private!"
Hearing what she said, the originally easy-going He Muchang no longer cared about the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, and said with a smile: "What kind of meeting gifts should I prepare when I go back to my parents' home? I just want you to be happy when you come back. My aunt knows that you are coming back, so she started making arrangements half a month in advance.
I was afraid that you wouldn’t be used to living there when you came back, so I went out to buy a lot of things.”
"What your uncle said is true, but your aunt has also chosen a lot of flowers and plants that you like. You will like them when you go in."
When Chu Miaoer heard this, she smiled softly at Wen Yuening, called "Auntie" softly, and nodded slightly to express her gratitude. Chu Miaoer really didn't like this auntie, not to mention that her grandmother had always loved her when she was alive.
She treated each other harshly, and Wen Yuening was also aware of the things that He Runjia had targeted at her openly and secretly. Now it was Wen Yuening's turn to be stunned. It turned out that she had chosen the flowers and plants for so many days.
In order to say good things to Chu Miaer for her? For a moment, Wen Yuening didn't know whether he should thank his sister-in-law.
"Cousin, cousin-in-law, you must be tired after coming so far. Let's go inside first..." He Runjia on the side reminded with a smile, but glanced at Fu Yunqi a few times. Different from the arrogance just now, he looked gentle now.
Generous.
Shu Qingqing didn't pay attention to her pretentiousness. She bent her eyes and continued smoothly: "Let's go in and talk. The tea is ready. Miao'er still likes to drink green tea. My aunt remembers it right?" She asked quietly, "Fourth Prince.
What do you like to drink?”
Chu Miaoer smiled when he heard this, turned around and asked, "My aunt asked you what you like to drink so that I can tell the people below to prepare it."
"I'll follow Miaomiao, little aunt doesn't need to make any other preparations." Fu Yunchi's Miaomiao and little aunt's name made Shu Qingqing feel happy in her heart, and she felt a little more happy about her niece-in-law. Although Wen Yuening was a little unhappy.
She was comfortable but more worried. The Fourth Prince was so obedient to Chu Miaoer. I wonder if the Fourth Prince would care about those things that criticized her harshly in the past.
The most uncomfortable person was He Runjia. She tried every possible means to get rid of Chu Miaoer before getting married. She made her fall off her horse, separated her from her family, and pushed her into a pond. She never expected that she would get such a good husband by some combination of circumstances.
.
Shu Qingqing held her hand all the way to the front hall and sat down before letting go. He Muchang couldn't help but smile and said: "His little aunt misses Miao'er so much that she can't let go when she sees someone coming back."
.”
He Mufeng, who had been silent on the side, finally spoke. He said in a low voice: "Miao'er finally came back. Her little aunt must have a lot to say to her."
"My cousin can't be partial and only tell it to my aunt," He Runjia said with a smile, "I also want to hear the interesting things about my cousin in Kyoto, why don't you tell me too?" He Mufeng has always been a weak character. Hearing her say this, he also
He smiled and closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Chu Miao'er was not surprised. This uncle had always had no independent opinion. Everything he said and thought was influenced by his wife and daughter. This was the case before and it remained the same now.
