Chapter 84 Greetings to the Elders
Yuzhu quickly waved her hands, her face turning even redder: "...No, no need."
Xiao Ning: "Really?"
Yuzhu nodded and looked at Xiao Ning with sincere eyes: "Really, my lord! If you believe me, I'm just taking a look..."
Xiao Ning: "...Okay."
So cowardly.
I gave you the opportunity but you didn't use it.
Xiao Ning looked at the several handsome male favorites and said, "What are you still looking at here? Go back to study. You run out at the slightest noise. You're not serious at all! Yu Qing, they don't study well. They will be punished. Do you understand?"
Yu Qing nodded with a smile, "Yes, Prince Consort."
Several people: "..."
Xiao Ning waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. When I have time later, I'll come and test your studies."
Qiongyin uttered a wail.
When Xiao Ning looked over, he immediately covered his mouth.
He blinked his eyes and gave Xiao Ning a flattering smile.
Xiao Ning: “…”
After they entered the house, Xiao Ning laughed at Yuzhu, "You're useless!"
Yuzhu: "I really just took a look..."
Xiao Ning looked at her and said, "If you like to watch, then I'll let you watch it up close. Why are you refusing?"
Yuzhu hugged Xiao Ning's arm and said coquettishly, "Because I still have to go back to the Marquis' Mansion to help you manage the household!"
She was scolded, beaten and kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion before. Now that the prince is back, how can she not go back to see what their faces are like?
Xiao Ning looked at her and said, "I asked you to be the housekeeper before, but you were reluctant. Why are you taking the initiative to be in charge now?"
Yuzhu shook Xiao Ning's arm and smiled: "At the beginning, it was because I had never taken care of it before, so I was afraid and nervous, but after taking care of it for a long time... I kind of like this feeling."
Xiao Ning chuckled: "The feeling of holding power."
Yuzhu's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, that's exactly how I feel. Ever since I became the head of the household, not to mention other people, even the eldest lady has become much more polite in front of me!"
Xiao Ning smiled and rubbed her head.
"In that case, I will take you to the Marquis' Mansion right now to put a stop to their arrogance!"
Yuzhu nodded heavily: "Yes!"
The two of them packed up and headed to the Marquis' Mansion.
Somewhere in a corner at the entrance of the Princess Mansion, Lin Si Niang looked at Lin San Niang in confusion: "Sister, we are all here, why don't we go see the prince?"
Lin Sanniang looked at the high-spirited figure, smiled, and rubbed Si Niang's head: "It's enough to know that the prince is safe. He just returned to the capital, and he must have a lot of things to do. Let's not bother him."
Lin Si Niang said "Oh" in confusion and tugged at Lin San Niang's sleeve. "Sister, since we've already asked for leave, why don't we go for a walk on the street?"
Lin Sanniang looked at her sister's hopeful eyes and couldn't bear to refuse.
Since entering the shop, they have been learning various skills in order to integrate into the shop as quickly as possible and dare not stop for a moment.
…
At the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, the doorman had already learned the news that Xiao Ning had returned to Beijing alive. It was quite considerate of him to be able to work in a high-ranking family.
How can you not tell the difference between the big and small kings?
The prince had already reorganized his family before, and the old lady was helpless, so the others could only suppress their grievances.
Therefore, when he saw Xiao Ning, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, acting like a loyal servant: "My Lord, you are finally back!"
Xiao Ning asked, "Are the old lady and the uncles and aunts all at home?"
The concierge nodded and said attentively, "They are all here!"
Xiao Ning nodded, "It's just right. I finally got back and would like to greet all the elders."
concierge:"……"
Is it a greeting or a provocation?
It’s so hard to guess.
Looking at Xiao Ning's back as he strode into the room, he silently shed tears of sympathy in his heart.
Led by the maid, Xiao Ning came to the main hall.
The whole family sat neatly in the main hall, as if waiting for her.
Xiao Ning just came back yesterday, and this morning, the memorial that was just submitted was returned.
Now... they can only rely on others.
Shen was the most tormented.
It was all for nothing.
After finishing her work some time ago, she punished that girl severely. The damn girl must have complained!
"Hey, are they all here?"
Just as I was thinking about it, that vile voice that sounded like it was asking for my life rang out.
The old lady let out a deep breath and nodded slightly to Xiao Ning, "I'm glad you're back."
Xiao Ning's half-smile swept across everyone's faces, "Okay? Why does it seem like no one welcomes me?"
Third Madam Du stood up and pulled Xiao Ning's arm affectionately, "Look at what Sanlang said. Let's not talk about others. Don't you know how Third Aunt treats you?"
Fourth Madam Zhang also stood up, her expression amiable: "That's right, Fourth Aunt treats you well every day."
Xiao Ning pulled his hand back, "I know how Third and Fourth Aunts treat me."
Mrs. Du & Mrs. Zhang: "..."
Shen no longer wants to put on a show.
The relationship between their eldest wife and Xiao Ning had long been irreparable.
Not only this time, she also plotted against Xiao Ning several times before. That boy knew it all!
So Shen kept a stern face and watched the two of them acting in front of Xiao Ning with an expressionless face.
Speaking of the third and fourth wives, Xiao Ning used to be like a piece of shit, with eyes that weren't eyes and nose that weren't noses. He didn't even bother to put in any superficial effort, but he was trying to curry favor with her like a jerk.
now……
It’s just because Xiao Ning is loved by the princess.
Especially during this disaster, they protected each other all the way back to Shengjing.
In addition, this time they lost the battle for the crown prince's position to their eldest wife, so they are deliberately trying to provoke them!
Xiao Ning looked at Shen, "Why didn't Auntie say a word? Are you not happy to see me return safely?"
Shen twitched the corners of her mouth, with a forced smile: "How could that be?"
Xiao Ning looked at Xiao Xun again, "Why is my uncle so gloomy? Don't you think my return will affect the invitation to the Crown Prince?"
Xiao Xun: “…”
No matter how ugly the quarrels in private, big families always appear to be harmonious on the surface.
This damn kid just wants to tear off everyone's disguise!
It made everyone lose face!
He forced a smile and said, "Sanlang is really a joker. Uncle is so happy that you can come back."
Xiao Ning clapped his hands and smiled, "That's good. I was worried when I came back this morning, worried that you wouldn't welcome me. It seems my worries were really unnecessary!"
Xiao Ning waved to Yuzhu, motioning her to come over.
Yuzhu stepped forward immediately and asked, "What do you want, my Lord?"
Xiao Ning said, "Can't you see how hard the housekeeper is working? You haven't looked good lately. Why don't you go to the housekeeper and apologize? Take over the housekeeper's responsibilities so that the housekeeper won't have to work so hard..."
"You're already so old, and you still need someone to teach you this? Seriously!"
"How did the Japanese prince teach you, huh? You have no sense at all!"
Yuzhu pinched her thigh, restrained her urge to laugh, and admitted her fault aggrievedly: "Master, you are teaching me this lesson. It is my fault for making the Madam tired..."
After saying this, she walked towards Shen, knelt down and performed the usual formalities, "Madam, I'm sorry. I've worked so hard for you these past few days. Please return the treasury keys, various cards, account books, and other items to me."
