Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze in front of her with disdain. "Don't think that just because you're pretty, I won't be able to control myself and take advantage of you. Compared to the male servants in the Xu Mansion, your looks are just average at best."
Lu Ze was slightly annoyed, but he didn't argue with Qi Yuning. "Princess, it's time to serve tea."
Qi Yuning went to the dressing mirror and let the maid comb her hair and put on makeup in front of her.
Lu Ze waited for a long time and said, "It's already 5:45 in the morning. Please hurry up, my lady."
Qi Yuning said to Chunfen behind her: "This bun doesn't look good, change it."
Chunfen replied, "Yes."
Qi Yuning looked at the two maids in Lu Ze's room and said, "You two come and comb my hair."
Qi Yuning deliberately made trouble and delayed the tea ceremony just to take revenge on the Lu family, but she didn't want to make things difficult for her own Chunfen in order to take revenge on the Lu family. She had to trouble the maid of the Lu family to do the hard work of combing her hair.
The two maids beside Lu Ze came forward one after another to take off Qi Yuning's bun and comb it again.
Lu Ze glanced at the time outside and saw that it was almost 9:00 PM. He stopped urging Qi Yuning and just read a book, waiting for Qi Yuning to slowly get dressed.
It took Qi Yuning nearly half an hour to comb her hair, and then it took her a long time to change her clothes. By the time Qi Yuning was done, it was already four quarters past four in the morning. Qi Yuning was very satisfied with the time.
He finally arrived and served tea to Princess Pingrou and Duke Lu.
Princess Pingrou smiled softly when she saw Qi Yuning coming over, "Ningning, did Ze'er bully you last night?"
Qi Yuning said, "Yes."
Princess Pingrou didn't expect Qi Yuning to be so direct. She smiled ambiguously and said, "It's inevitable for young people. This is a gift from your mother."
Qi Yuning said: "I only have one mother, Your Highness!"
Princess Pingrou's face looked a little grim. Duke Lu beside her said, "It's the same if you call her mother-in-law. Hurry up and serve her tea. We have to go to Duke Lu's mansion to serve tea later!"
Qi Yuning said, "We serve tea to His Highness because he is a member of the royal family. As for Duke Lu's mansion, we can skip the tea service!"
Lu Ze said to Qi Yuning, "My grandmother lives in the Duke's Mansion. She is an elder who loves me dearly..."
Qi Yuning asked, "Elders? What elder who loves his younger generation so much would choose a grandson-in-law who has nothing but a good reputation but is completely incompetent in appearance, speech, conversation, and family background for his eldest grandson who will inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future?"
Lu Ze frowned and said, "Princess Qi, Miss Guan Six said you looked down on others because you were extravagant. You shouldn't say that. Your family is noble, but don't forget that your father's origins were not even as good as the Guan family today, yet he still became the prince's consort in Prince Qi's mansion..."
Qi Yuning glared at Lu Ze, raised his hand and slapped Lu Ze hard in the face.
This slap frightened both Princess Pingrou and Duke Lu.
Qi Yuning angrily said to Lu Ze, "You're comparing Guan to my mother? Even if you're blind, you can't be this blind!"
Lu Ze took the slap and said coldly, "Princess Qi had to break off the engagement because her fiancé became a monk. You should know how bad it is for a girl's reputation to break off an engagement. We have already done Miss Guan a disservice, and we really shouldn't say anything bad about her behind her back."
Qi Yuning said coldly, "Bah, it's not me who is sorry to Guan Zhiyi, but you. You were afraid that I would retaliate against your Lu family, so you would rather be forced to marry me. So what if I scolded Guan Zhiyi? Are you heartbroken? Then I will scold her even more."
She would be happy if she could make Lu Ze lose face.
"Alright, alright, you're newlyweds, stop arguing."
Princess Pingrou tried to mediate, "Let's have lunch together."
During lunch, Princess Pingrou released Lu Baozhu from house arrest. Lu Baozhu was mostly happy that Qi Yuning became her sister-in-law.
Lu Baozhu coughed and said, "Qi Yuning, do you know the rules of being a daughter-in-law of our Lu family? My parents-in-law, husband, and sister-in-law are still having their meal, how dare you sit down and eat? And why don't you get up and serve me?"
Qi Yuning glanced at Lu Baozhu coldly and directly put the shrimp oil chicken butt and scallion oil fish eyes that the kitchen had not removed into Lu Ze's bowl. "Sister, you are right. As a wife, how can I not serve my husband with meals? This is the dish I personally picked for my husband, and he must eat it all."
Lu Ze: “…”
Qi Yuning rested her hand on Lu Ze's shoulder, "Prince Lu himself said we shouldn't waste food. Let's eat!"
Lu Baozhu's desire to show off her power as a sister-in-law suddenly fell to the bottom. She didn't want to eat chicken butts or fish eyes.
While Lu Baozhu was thinking, Qi Yuning had already handed the chicken head to her, "Come on, sister, eat some chicken head to nourish your brain. Don't waste it. If you waste it, you will be accused of looking down on others!"
Qi Yuning said, "Eat."
Lu Baozhu looked at Lu Ze and handed the chicken head to him, saying, "I think my brother needs to use his brain more than I do. He needs to use his brain in the Dali Temple."
Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Husband, please don't let my sister and I down."
Lu Ze looked up at Qi Yuning and said, "I shouldn't have said you were extravagant."
Qi Yuning said coldly, "Sarve silk can be used as silver. I asked the shopkeeper of Yunyi Pavilion to process the cloth and re-dye it. How can it be considered a waste? That Guan Zhiyi came up and accused me of being wasteful without knowing the truth. My maid just said she was meddling in other people's business, and she started to speak wildly.
You are being indiscriminate. Today, you either eat these three things, or write a thousand-word letter of repentance and post it at the entrance of the Princess's Mansion to apologize to me."
