Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze in front of her with disdain, "Don't think that just because you are pretty, I will not be able to control myself and take advantage of you. Compared with the male concubines 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 5:00 pm, please hurry up, my lady."
Qi Yuning said to Chunfen behind her: "This bun doesn't look good, change it."
Chunfen responded, "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 time of serving tea just to take revenge on the Lu family, but she didn't want to embarrass her own Chunfen in order to take revenge on the Lu family. She had to trouble the maid of the Lu family for such 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 her hair again.
Lu Ze glanced at the time outside and saw that it was almost 9:00 p.m. 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 it took her another 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 this time.
He arrived late 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 looked a little unhappy. Duke Lu 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 her tea later!"
Qi Yuning said: "The reason why we serve tea to His Highness is 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 said: "Elders? Which elder who loves his younger generation so much would choose a grandson's wife who has nothing but a good reputation but has no manners, speech, or 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 Liu said that you look down on others because you are extravagant. You shouldn't say that to Miss Guan Liu. Princess, your family is noble, but don't forget that your father's family was not even as good as the Guan family today, but he became the prince's consort of Prince Qi's mansion..."
Qi Yuning glared at Lu Ze, raised his hand and slapped Lu Ze hard on the face.
This slap frightened both Princess Pingrou and Duke Lu.
Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze angrily, "You compare Guan with my mother? Even if you are blind, you can't be this blind!"
After receiving the slap, Lu Ze said coldly, “Princess Qi had to cancel the engagement because her fiancé became a monk. You should know how bad it is for a girl to cancel the engagement. We have already done our utmost to Miss Guan, and we really shouldn’t say bad things 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 cancel the engagement with Guan Zhiyi and 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 Lu Ze could be humiliated.
"Alright, alright, you two are newlyweds, please stop quarreling."
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 dinner, how dare you sit down and eat? Why don't you stand up and serve me dinner."
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 is right, as a wife, how can I not serve my husband? This is the dish I personally picked for my husband, and he must eat it all."
Lu Ze: “…”
Qi Yuning put her hand on Lu Ze's shoulder and said, "Master Lu said himself that we shouldn't waste food. Let's eat it!"
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 passed 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, "My 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 deal with those cloths and re-dye them. How can it be a waste? Guan Zhiyi came up and accused me of wastefulness without knowing the truth. My maid just said that she was meddling in other people's business, and she spoke wildly.
You are also indiscriminate. Today, you either eat these three things, or write a thousand-word letter of repentance and paste it at the door of the princess's mansion to apologize to me."
Lu Ze said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry."
Qi Yuning then sat down to eat. She looked at Princess Pingrou and Duke Lu and said, "Your Highness and Prince Consort, do you need me to serve you dinner?"
“No need, no need!”
Princess Pingrou waved her hands repeatedly, "The maid is here, you can just have your meal."
Qi Yuning started to eat without looking at the expressions of the other members of the Lu family.
It was not until the afternoon that Madam Lu came to invite Qi Yuning over. Qi Yuning did not give Madam Lu a good look, but went back to Prince Qi's Mansion.
Qi Yu'an couldn't let go of the matter in Beicheng and was about to leave Shengjing City for Beicheng. When Qi Yu'an saw Qi Yuning coming back, he asked, "How did Lu Ze treat you?"
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "He wouldn't dare to treat me badly, brother, you can go without worry."
Qi Yu'an looked at Qi Yuning with great concern and said, "If you have any grievances, just write to me and I will definitely take care of it for you."
Qi Yuning nodded and chuckled, "Yes, brother, you can go without worry."
After seeing Qi Yu'an off, Qi Yuning returned to the princess's residence and met Old Madam Lu in Lu Ze's room.
When Qi Yuning walked to the door, she heard the voice of Madam Lu inside, "Zer, the daughter of the Guan family is virtuous and she is my savior. She has been unhappy these days because of your marriage. We in the Lu family cannot repay kindness with hatred. You might as well take her as a concubine. Qi Yuning's domineering personality will definitely not be gentle and considerate... Let Zhiyi enter the Lu family's gate to serve you, and grandma will be relieved."
Lu Ze said to Madam Lu, "Miss Guan has always been known for her virtue. It would be unfair to her to make her a concubine. Besides, Qi Yuning is a very intolerant person. Making Miss Guan a concubine in her backyard is repaying kindness with enmity."
Qi Yuning, who was outside the door, listened to Lu Ze's words, laughed sarcastically, and went inside to say to Madam Lu: "Madam Lu, on the second day of my grandson's wedding, you sent a concubine to my grandson's room. I have seen the rules of the Lu family."
Madam Lu frowned when she saw Qi Yuning and asked, "Is this the etiquette for you to talk to your elders?"
Qi Yuning said: "I have never seen an elder who put a concubine in his grandson's room on the second day of his wedding."
Madam Lu was so angry that her heart ached, so Lu Ze ordered the maid to send Madam Lu back to the Duke's Mansion.
Qi Yuning walked up to Lu Ze and said, "Lu Ze, this princess is warning you. If you dare to bring up any concubines before this princess calms down and divorces you, this princess will definitely not forgive you!"
Lu Ze said: "There won't be any concubines."
