Princess Consort Chu

She, the prime minister’s daughter, was timid and cowardly. Because her engagement fell through, and her reputation was ruined, she was pressured to spill her own blood in the palace hall! Once again ...

Chapter 13

"Aunt and third sister, please sit down too!" Yun Qianmeng said this as she sat down in the reception room!

However, at this moment, Concubine Liu relied entirely on Yun Qianmeng for her work, so how could she dare to sit with Yun Qianmeng? She smiled and declined, "Your servant will serve the young lady at dinner!"

Seeing how much she was trying to please him, Yun Qianmeng stopped talking. She took the tea Mu Chun offered her and drank it carefully, her dark eyes looking calmly towards the courtyard...

"Miss, I have brought the dinner!" The night sky gradually fell, and Yun Qianmeng had already refilled the tea in her hand twice before Shui'er came to the reception room with the food box!

"Daughter greets father!" Shui'er had just finished speaking when Yun Qianmeng stood up respectfully and saluted the person who was about to come to her!

When everyone saw Yun Qianmeng like this, they followed her and saluted Yun Xuanzhi who was already standing in the reception room!

"Why is Meng'er here?" Yun Xuanzhi didn't expect to see Yun Qianmeng here. He glanced at Aunt Liu and Yun Yan who were standing respectfully behind her, and doubts arose in his heart!

This legitimate daughter has been timid since she was young. She usually won't step out of Qiluo Garden unless it's an important occasion. But today she is staying with this concubine Liu. I don't know what she is doing!

Yun Qianmeng smiled brightly and walked obediently to Yun Xuanzhi's side. She tilted her head slightly and looked at him with respect. "My daughter is feeling well today. Thinking that I haven't had dinner with you for a long time, I asked the maids to prepare dinner here. I wonder if you are free to have dinner with me!"

After saying that, Yun Qianmeng waved her hand. Shui'er and the others understood and immediately brought over the food boxes, carefully placing two or three plates of vegetarian dishes inside on the huge dining table!

Yun Xuanzhi originally wanted to refuse, as he had already agreed to have dinner with Su Qing and Yun Ruoxue today. If he didn't go after the appointed time, the mother and daughter would definitely be angry again!

But Yun Qianmeng didn't wait for him to speak before ordering the table to be set. The large, round table was only laden with a few bowls and chopsticks, making Yun Xuanzhi lose face in front of the many servants. He frowned secretly and shot a sharp glare at Butler Zhao beside him. "What's going on? Is this the dinner you prepared for the young lady?"

When Butler Zhao heard Yun Xuanzhi's voice, he knew he was furious. His heart tightened immediately, and he quickly stepped forward with his head lowered to explain, "Prime Minister, I'm afraid the kitchen must have made a mistake! I'll go and reprimand the kitchen manager in a moment. I don't know what's wrong with these people. They even made a mistake with the young lady's food!"

After he finished speaking, Butler Zhao immediately winked at a servant beside him, asking him to go to the kitchen to report the news!

But Yun Qianmeng, who had been keeping an eye on him, was quicker to give Bing'er a look. Bing'er quietly came in front of the boy and blocked his way...

Yun Qianmeng walked over to Butler Zhao and said with a smile, "So, this means that my meals have been messed up lately? It seems that the kitchen manager and Butler Zhao are really old and can't even handle such a small task. They should just go home and retire!"

After she finished speaking, a light "humph" came out of Yun Qianmeng's mouth, which made Butler Zhao's heart tremble. He wondered when this young lady had put so much pressure on him. Just a humph made him terrified!

"Butler Zhao, you are so bold that you even withhold the eldest lady's food!" Yun Qianmeng pointed out the matter in public. Yun Xuanzhi was furious and pointed his hand directly at Butler Zhao who never dared to look up. The maids and servants beside him had already knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound for fear of implicating themselves!

The reception room suddenly fell silent. Aunt Liu and Yun Yan looked at each other, and when they looked at Yun Qianmeng again, there was more awe in their eyes!

Who would have thought that just one move from the eldest daughter of the Yun family could scare the usually domineering housekeeper Zhao so much!

Originally, Yun Qianmeng invited them to the reception room for Yun Yan's wedding, but unexpectedly, she already had a plan in mind. I'm afraid that what happens next will be even more unexpected for Butler Zhao!

"Your Majesty, I absolutely dare not withhold the young lady's food! I think it must be the kitchen manager who is greedy for money. Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. Please be clear-headed!" At this time, Butler Zhao also knew that this matter was related to the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If it was spread that the evil servant bullied the master, even if Yun Xuanzhi did not intend to punish him, he would not be able to escape in order to stop the gossip!

It would be better to put the blame on others. At most, he would be accused of poor supervision. With Aunt Su's pillow talk, wouldn't the position of the housekeeper in the prime minister's mansion be his?

But Yun Qianmeng didn't give anyone else a chance to speak. As soon as Butler Zhao finished speaking, her calm voice rang out in everyone's ears, "It's said that there will be a happy event in our mansion soon. I guess Butler Zhao has been so preoccupied with this matter that he's neglected the management of the kitchen!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Liu and Yun Yan's faces turned pale, while Butler Zhao trembled. Even Yun Xuanzhi, who was already furious, was stunned and could not help but look at Yun Qianmeng, who was smiling faintly. "Meng'er, what happy event is going to happen in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Yun Qianmeng smiled subtly and said calmly, "My daughter has only heard about it. Father should ask Butler Zhao in person!"

After he finished speaking, he said no more, but turned around and walked to Yun Xuanzhi's side, watching with a cold smile how Butler Zhao would respond!

Butler Zhao had never expected that Yun Qianmeng would tell the truth in advance, especially since Yun Xuanzhi was in a rage at this moment. He was afraid that the matter could not proceed smoothly!

However, Yun Xuanzhi's eyes were filled with a fierceness that made Butler Zhao feel as if a flash of ice blades flashed on his back. He could only speak in a daze, "My Lord, Madam Su has promised me that the Third Young Lady will be betrothed to my son!"

"Plop..." At this moment, Aunt Liu and Yun Yan both ran to Yun Xuanzhi with tears in their eyes and knelt down in front of him...

"Master, please have mercy! Madam Su wants to give Yan'er to the eldest son of Housekeeper Zhao as a concubine! Although Yan'er is a concubine, she is still the daughter of the Prime Minister's family. How can she be the mistress of the housekeeper's son? Where does this leave Master's dignity?" Madam Liu put Yun Xuanzhi's reputation first. Yun Yan's heartbroken sobs made Yun Xuanzhi's already furious eyes blaze with rage...

"You are so bold that you even dare to covet the daughter of the Prime Minister!" Thinking of the unlearned son of Housekeeper Zhao and seeing Yun Yan's pitiful appearance, Yun Xuanzhi felt furious. He took a step forward and kicked Housekeeper Zhao on the shoulder!

"Master, why are you doing this?" But at this moment, Su Qing, who had been staying in the room, appeared in front of everyone with Yun Ruoxue...
