Fortunately, Chunqin had a bit of pretense, and Aunt Liu smiled helplessly when she saw her gloating about her misfortune.
"I don't want to care what Yu and Tang Qinghuan are like, as long as they don't cause trouble to me and Tang Zhengrong, that's the best."
"Also, it's okay for you to be like this outside. You still need to restrain yourself when you return to the palace."
"What happened this time will definitely spread. I also want to take the opportunity to see the eldest lady."
Thinking of Tang Zhengrong's words, Aunt Liu didn't feel any disappointment. The coming and going of people were all related to use. At that time, she was still able to catch the eyes of the eldest lady, but the current situation has already made the other party aware of the situation.
To be on guard, you should be more cautious when considering this matter, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"I know this well and will definitely not publicize this matter in the house."
When she returned to Xingfangju, Tang Zhengrong had not returned yet, so Aunt Liu left Chunqin behind and went to see the eldest lady.
But this time Xiaofei was making excuses in every possible way.
"Aunt Liu, Madam has been in a bad mood recently, including starting to deal with some things, and she doesn't have much time."
"There is really no way to meet you."
"Aunt Liu, look...?"
This was already a polite refusal, and Aunt Liu could naturally hear the meaning behind the other person's words.
"Actually, this time I just want to explain some of the circumstances of entering the palace. If the eldest lady is very busy now, I will say that I will have nothing to do next time."
"Xiao Fei, I still want to ask how the eldest lady is doing recently?"
"I feel very uneasy when I think that so many people, including the eldest lady, have been involved in this extraordinary incident."
Finally, it came down to this matter, and Tan Xiaofei's face showed nothing.
"Anyway, the eldest lady is also the head of the family. She has to bear some things. As for what it is, the reasons are too complicated. Aunt Liu shouldn't blame herself. The eldest lady has nothing to do with Aunt Liu."
"Xiao Fei, if you can say this, it makes me feel better."
"Then please tell the eldest lady that I have been here. If I have time in the future, I will come to visit again."
When Xiaofei saw Aunt Liu really leaving, she went to explain the situation to the eldest lady.
"Let me tell you, madam, isn't it good for us to avoid Mrs. Liu like this?"
"It is said that Aunt Liu has already served the Duke and has also gone to the palace. However, the slave girl saw that Aunt Liu's dress, including her words and deeds, are still the same as usual. There is nothing domineering about her."
"I don't think there is any threat from you, Madam."
Not wanting to see Aunt Liu, it is natural that the eldest lady is wary of Aunt Liu now.
"This shows that she is not afraid of favors and humiliations, and she is not an easy-to-manipulate person."
"I thought she was too simple before, and I thought of using Aunt Liu to do something to destroy the Second Madam's arrogance. Now I understand that it was me who was overthinking it."
Listening to what the eldest lady said, Xiaofei seemed to think that what the other party said was reasonable.
"If the time comes, I will meet Aunt Liu, but not now."
Of course, regarding this matter, the eldest lady was not completely ready to reply to the other party. She thought that she had not figured out Tang Yanzhi's thoughts. At this time, she had too many emotions and it was easy for her to reveal her secrets.
By the time Aunt Liu returned to Xingfang Residence, Tang Zhengrong had already begun to talk passionately with Chunqin and they seemed to be talking about things in the palace.
"Mother, you are back."
"How is it? Madam, have you seen the eldest lady?"
Tang Zhengrong, who was relatively happy at first, was a little confused when he heard Chunqin's words: "Why does mother want to see the eldest lady? It doesn't seem to be important, right?"
"Miss, it's best for you and Madam to talk about it."
The two of them haven't said much yet, and it would be more appropriate for the eldest lady to talk to Tang Zhengrong about some of the details.
"I'm going there myself. I knew something about Madam's side from you."
"But since that time, we, Xingfangju, have always maintained a strange relationship with the eldest lady. I want to see what the real situation is like."
Aunt Liu explained to Tang Zhengrong, and then said: "However, I didn't see him this time either."
"I just expressed my desire to see Xiao Fei, the maid beside the eldest lady."
"I will still have to live in the back house from now on. Thinking about it, it would be better for me to stay with the eldest lady."
"I think the second lady is a bit difficult to get along with."
After listening to Aunt Liu's words, Tang Zhengrong understood what his mother was worried about.
"It doesn't matter. Now that the second lady is pregnant, the mother has more opportunities to get along with the Duke. As long as the family in this house is not afraid of the Duke, the rest of the people don't have to take it seriously. They just need to be careful about their little tricks."
After listening to Tang Zhengrong's words, Aunt Liu nodded: "That's right."
Maybe it’s been a long time since I’ve bothered to think about how to get along with the owners of the back house, and I’ve also forgotten about the giant Buddha known as Tang Guogong.
At noon the next day, Tang Zhengrong went to look for Tang Yanzhi. Seeing the way he was dodging, he immediately stopped him.
"Tang Yanzhi, do you plan to never get along with me for the rest of your life because of that incident?"
Not to mention his brother, this name made Tang Yanzhi feel cold all over.
"no."
"I just haven't figured out how to face you."
As he said this, Tang Yanzhi showed an embarrassed look on his face.
"My mother is also worried about our relationship. She went to see the eldest lady yesterday, but the eldest lady seemed to be unwell. Is there nothing wrong?"
Seeing Tang Zhengrong's concern, Tang Yanzhi was still moved.
"My mother's thoughts are just as complicated now. Forget it, let me explain to you that my mother cares about my father very much. Now that Aunt Liu is favored, she is even more uneasy than the second lady is pregnant."
That's how it is
Originally, Tang Zhengrong didn't want to go to Tang Yanzhi to say these words, but if no one pierced this layer of window paper, it would break sooner or later.
"But whether my father loves my mother or not, anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see it."
