Shen Wan Tang's older sister, who had been reborn, snatched her marriage arrangement and pushed the Prince of Ning's heir, who had become a monk, onto her. "The Royal Estate is prospero...
Chapter 90 They started arguing? Good thing they argued!
Qin Xin didn't finish her sentence, but Shen Wantang understood what she meant.
It's indeed time to consummate the marriage, otherwise outsiders will always bring it up, and the mother-in-law will also have complaints—the mother-in-law actually hopes that she can consummate the marriage with Xiao Qingyuan, and preferably get pregnant on the first try.
However, Shen Wantang did not want to do this, and she knew that although Xiao Qingyuan had already accepted her as his wife, he had no intention of consummating their marriage.
We need to find an opportunity to gloss over this matter and shut everyone up, so that she can peacefully be the mistress of the house from now on.
She said calmly, "There's no need to invite the young master. He won't come. He must have other things to do today."
Qin Xin was puzzled, but she didn't ask any more questions and quietly withdrew.
A little while later, she rushed back: "Princess Consort, that Chu Yanluo has actually run back to our Prince's Mansion again! She's so shameless, the Prince didn't even bring her back, she came back on her own!"
Shen Wantang wasn't surprised. It would be abnormal if Chu Yanluo didn't come back. After all, where else could she find such a treacherous person as Xiao Qingyuan?
"Princess Consort, you said the Prince had other things to do tonight, could you be referring to Chu Yanluo?"
Shen Wantang nodded: "It's her."
Qin Xin looked on with admiration: "You are truly a prophet! The young master and Chu Yanluo are arguing right now. It seems it's because she accepted a thousand taels of gold from the second young master Gu. The young master feels that she shouldn't accept things from other men so casually, but Chu Yanluo insists that she earned it through her own abilities. She also complains that the young master embarrassed her today and made her lose face."
A smile finally appeared on Shen Wantang's face: "You're arguing?"
"They're making a huge fuss!"
"Hmm, good, good noise."
Shen Wantang was in a good mood. She really hoped that the lovesick couple could torment each other and not cause trouble in front of her or go out and harm others. For example, a few days ago, the two of them caused trouble for Gu Qianhan, and as a result, she suffered as a victim of collateral damage, causing her and her mother-in-law to be summoned to the palace for a reprimand.
Gu Qianhan is truly a talent. He was so badly wronged by Chu Yanluo a few days ago, but today he actually spent a fortune on Chu Yanluo. It's really unexpected.
However, his gift of one thousand taels of gold was well-timed and brilliantly executed! It elevated Chu Yanluo to a completely new level. If Chu Yanluo accepted the money, the price she would have to pay might far exceed one thousand taels of gold.
I wonder if Gu Qianhan did it on purpose. He didn't seem to be really in love with Chu Yanluo.
Qin Xin saw that her mistress enjoyed listening to the prince and Chu Yanluo arguing, so she immediately went out after reporting to them.
She went directly to Moji, asking him for information while listening to the heated argument in Xinghe Courtyard.
Qin Xin: "Mo Ji, now the young master can see Yan Luo's true colors, right?"
Moji: "Not necessarily."
Qin Xin: "What? That's not necessarily true?"
Mo Ji: "You don't understand. The prince's tolerance and love for Miss Chu are beyond imagination. Miss Chu can easily make the prince believe her. She has a way of manipulating the prince."
Qin Xin almost rolled her eyes: "The young master is really... I don't know when he'll wake up. That Chu Yanluo pretends to be so aloof every day, saying she hates gold and silver, but when the Second Young Master Gu gave her a thousand taels of gold, she fawned over him, being incredibly attentive. She even spent time alone with the Second Young Master Gu in a private room. How shameless! I don't know who it was before who righteously denounced the Second Young Master Gu as scum, bullying her, a weak woman."
Mo Ji shook his head and said nothing more. He listened carefully to the sounds inside, wanting to see what kind of excuse Chu Yanluo would use to deceive the prince this time.
In the Xinghe Courtyard, Xiao Qingyuan was not as tolerant of Chu Yanluo as his servant had imagined this time.
People are afraid of comparison.
When he was alone with Chu Yanluo, he felt that there was no better woman in the world than Chu Yanluo.
But now he has the Crown Princess, who is so magnanimous. Whether in public or at home, she gives him face and helps him resolve one problem after another.
But what about Chu Yanluo? Whether at home or outside, she showed him no respect whatsoever and always created one problem after another for him!
Xiao Qingyuan's face turned cold: "Return that thousand taels of gold to Gu Qianhan! My woman doesn't need any other man to spend money to support her! Also, those snacks and pastries you invented absolutely cannot be sold at such high prices! Reduce them all to three taels of silver per serving, otherwise people will think that I, Xiao Qingyuan, can't afford to support my woman and that I have to rely on her to rip off customers outside to support me!"
Chu Yanluo said arrogantly, "I don't need a man to support me. I made Young Master Gu spend so much money on my own merits. He bought my pastries, not me. Why should I return the gold? Wouldn't returning it be telling others that my pastries are no good? I would never do something that would embarrass myself. Young Master, there's no need to say anything more!"
"As for the price of my snacks, Your Highness need not worry about it. I have clearly marked the prices and I am not ripping anyone off. If you can't afford them, you don't have to eat them. The snacks are all developed and invented by me with a lot of effort. They are very advanced and special, so naturally they are more expensive."
“Those who can’t even afford a hundred taels of silver don’t deserve to eat my pastries. I only sell them to discerning people like Young Master Gu.”
Coincidentally, Xiao Qingyuan couldn't even come up with a hundred taels of silver right now.
His pride was deeply wounded: "Chu Yanluo! Your pastries are not worth that much money at all! The chefs in the Prince's mansion can make them all. Your pastries are not inventions at all! They are not advanced at all. Only ignorant people would think those pastries are special!"
"Even the chefs in the Prince's mansion can make this? Are you kidding me? How could they possibly make it! This is something I... I got inspired in a dream and finally managed to invent!"
Chu Yanlu simply did not believe that the chefs in the Prince's mansion could make such a small pastry that would only become popular in the capital years later, because in both her lives combined, she had never seen such beautiful pastries in the Prince's mansion.
She felt that Xiao Qingyuan was deliberately belittling and belittling her, and she was very unhappy: "Xiao Qingyuan, you keep saying how much you love me, but you don't even approve of the pastries I invented. You openly said that my pastries were too expensive at Qingyun Restaurant, which made me lose face. You went too far. Don't you feel sorry for me? Shouldn't you apologize to me?"
"What have I done to wrong you today? Your pastries are just too expensive, and you won't even let me say so?"
Xiao Qingyuan believed that he had not wronged Chu Yanluo in any way today. He had indeed wronged Shen Wantang, but Shen Wantang did not ask him to apologize. Instead, Chu Yanluo asked him to apologize.
Chu Yanluo's voice sharpened: "You've wronged me! Gu Qianhan has spent lavishly on me, but what about you? You won't do anything for me!"
