Chapter 87: For the remaining food, just eat whatever Aunt likes
Guihua's explanation was like a loud slap in Zhou Baili's face.
The dining table was filled with food. Not only were there many varieties, but even the ingredients were of the best quality. It was almost comparable to the three meals a day that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had specially prepared for her.
There was a flash of resentment in Zhou Baili's eyes, but since she had already agreed to stay for dinner, she could only serve food to Liu Mingyue.
"Aunt Zhou, thank you for your help." Huasheng brought over the chopsticks for serving the food. As he approached, he did not forget to check the other person's expression. Seeing the other person's deflated look, his mood, which had been suppressed for most of the day, finally became relieved.
Zhou Baihe suppressed her reluctance and grievance and picked up her chopsticks to serve Liu Mingyue. She thought Liu Mingyue would take the opportunity to ridicule her, but surprisingly, she didn't.
The chef in the kitchen of the Marquis' Mansion was very skilled in cooking. Liu Mingyue ate with gusto and occasionally glanced at Zhou Baili while eating. This guy came to pay his respects to her, and it was rare for him not to speak at this moment.
After eating and drinking, Liu Mingyue rinsed her mouth and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief: "Aunt, you have worked hard to serve me meals. For the rest of the food, just eat whatever you like."
Liu Mingyue's tone was steady and calm, just as it was, and it seemed like a reward to Zhou Baili.
Zhou Baili had never suffered such humiliation before. She was so angry that the corners of her eyes turned red. However, Liu Mingyue's behavior was reasonable. As a concubine, she could not talk back to her mistress. But it was impossible for her to eat Liu Mingyue's leftovers!
"Madam, I thank you for your reward, but the hot weather makes me lose my appetite. I'm not hungry yet. I've been bothering you for a long time, Madam. I'll go back first." After saying this, Zhou Baili stood up and left Liu Mingyue's yard angrily.
She was not really not hungry. As soon as she returned to her residence, she asked the servants to go to the kitchen and bring her food.
"Aunt, the kitchen said, didn't you already have your meal in the Madam's courtyard? Your portion has been delivered to the Madam's courtyard." The nanny came over to reply. Zhou Baili was startled and immediately understood what was going on with Liu Mingyue's meal.
"Bitch! Bitch!" Zhou Baili was so angry that she threw the teacup beside her. That bitch must have done it on purpose.
She said, how could an unpopular ugly girl be treated so well and have such ridiculously sumptuous meals.
It turned out that Liu Mingyue enjoyed her share!
Zhou Baihe was so angry that she felt dizzy, but as a concubine, she couldn't possibly go toe-to-toe with her mistress over a meal. When Tan Zhuoyan came home from outside at night, Zhou Baihe felt that someone could finally seek justice for her, and she complained to Tan Zhuoyan with tears in her eyes.
"Madam, you are going too far. You asked me to eat in her courtyard. It turns out that you wanted to take away my share."
Zhou Baili likes to wear clothes made of light fabrics, and her long hair is as black as ink. When she cries, her eyes are red, which makes her adorable.
Tan Zhuoyan hugged her to her chest and let her sit on her lap: "Who is she to make such a beautiful woman angry! I will teach her a lesson for you later."
The man's warm breath fell on her ears, making her feel itchy. Zhou Baili shyly leaned into his arms. At this time, she only needed to turn her head to see the careless perfunctory look in Qin Zhuoyan's eyes, and she didn't take her words to heart at all.
"Your Highness." Zhou Baili put her arms around Tan Zhuoyan's neck and lowered her head shyly with a red face. Tan Zhuoyan lifted her chin and leaned over to kiss her. Soon, a blushing noise came from the room.
After finishing, Qin Zhuoyan ordered the servants to prepare hot water for bathing. On the bed, Zhou Baili was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep.
Tan Zhuoyan turned around and glanced at Zhou Baili. The dark tide in her eyes had not yet faded, but her eyes were chilling. After this period of investigation, Tan Zhuoyan was sure that the drug in her body was given by Zhou Baili.
He knew it in his heart, but he had no evidence. With such a despicable move, how could Zhou Baili admit that it was her doing? Tan Zhuoyan wanted to get the medicine, but he would never admit in front of Zhou Baili that he couldn't do it and let her give him the medicine.
Tan Zhuoyan's sharp eyes fell on the person lying beside her, and she said coldly: "Oh, you are really good at scheming!"
Because he can only do things with Zhou Baili, it is true that he can do things these days, but it is a pity that he can only be a man with Zhou Baili! Zhou Baili's appearance is still attractive, but Qin Zhuoyan has become tired of her.
"You are not so ambitious that you insist on being the principal wife. I just want to pull you down from the clouds! After a while, I will ask mother to arrange for you to take a concubine. Zhou Baili, you will sooner or later pay the price for looking down on this prince!"
Qin Zhuoyan played with Zhou Baili's hair, a deep smile flashed in his eyes. He wanted to let Zhou Baili know that even if she was the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family, she was just a concubine now. Besides, the master of the Zhou family was dead, so the only one she could rely on was her husband.
Before he got Zhou Baili, she was the moon in the sky, but now, she was just a toy in his palm. He just wanted to ignore Zhou Baili on purpose to let her learn a lesson!
The woman in her sleep had no idea of the man beside her's plot against her, and she was still expecting Qin Zhuoyan to vent her anger.
One day passed, then two days passed. Zhou Baili waited for several days, but still did not see the prince's decision on Liu Mingyue.
"Have you checked on Liu Mingyue? Are you sure she's fine?" Zhou Baili asked in disbelief, grabbing Lu Yin's hand.
Lu Yin withdrew her hand without leaving a trace, bowed and replied: "The Crown Prince's Consort is still drinking tea and planting flowers in the courtyard. Although the kitchen still doesn't send her meals, there is nothing else to do."
Before she was sure whether Zhou Baili would get furious, Lu Yin silently took five or six steps back.
"Your Highness, didn't you help me punish that bitch?" Zhou Baili herself was a little unbelievable when she asked this question. Tan Zhuoyan loved her so much that even her meals were of the same standard as those of a marquis' wife.
Zhou Baihe was puzzled as to why Tan Zhuoyan would not help her after learning that she was being bullied.
Could it be that the prince didn't care that she was bullied?
"Impossible! I am beautiful and talented, how can I be inferior to that ugly girl? Something must have delayed me!"
Zhou Baili thought so and comforted herself. This was the only way she could comfort herself.
But there was no movement in Liu Mingyue's yard. Liu Mingyue spent her days as usual. Zhou Baili was unhappy, but she didn't dare to question Qin Zhuoyan and could only sulk by herself.
"Auntie, have some snacks to calm down. The prince must be busy with something and can't spare any time."
Lu Yin's attitude towards Zhou Baili was much more distant than before, but on the surface she still served her wholeheartedly.
After all, she is the master's personal maid. Only when the master is good can she be good. It can be seen that Lu Yin has this kind of vision.
"You are right. The Marquis' wife only has one legitimate son, the prince. Naturally, the prince is busy with many things outside. However, if I can get pregnant with your highness's eldest son, your highness will pay more attention to me."
