As she spoke, Shen Tian smiled at Liu Su and said, "Miss Liu Su, you can see that I am nothing if I leave the Marquis' Mansion. If I hire a maid, I will be regarded as an outsider. My mother doesn't like you either. You should go back, otherwise my mother will be forced into a rage. She is a country woman who doesn't understand the rules of the imperial capital. If she gets violent, it will be embarrassing for everyone."
"My daughter, why are you saying so much to her? She looks so charming and has crooked eyes. She must have bad intentions. I tell you, get out of here right now. You are not allowed to get close to my son!" Huang Xinghua shouted angrily.
Deliberately pointing the finger at the innocent Shen Dagou.
Shen Dagou jumped up in panic, "Mom! I am devoted to Erya and will never fall for other women! I promise!"
Huang Xinghua rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Who knows if what you said is true? She has been following us for a long time and must have bad intentions. Who knows if you can withstand her temptation!"
Liusu was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She really couldn't stay here anymore!
Look at her running away angrily.
The three people in the room laughed at the same time.
Quickly pack up and head to the temple.
Murong Xu asked Liusu to persuade Chen Tian's family to return to Yong'an Marquis Mansion so that he could propose marriage. As long as they were in Yong'an Marquis Mansion, he was confident that Chen Tian's mother would accept the marriage.
After waiting for a long time, Liusu finally came back, but I saw that the girl had red eyes, obviously she had been crying.
Murong Xu's face darkened. "Were you bullied?"
Liusu recounted the whole story aggrievedly, "Master, I followed your instructions and wanted to persuade Miss Shen and her family to leave the inn, but Madam Shen was unreasonable. When she saw me, she looked at me with eyes that were not eyes and nose that were not nose. She scolded me for having bad intentions and said that I was shameless and had been following them for ulterior motives. She said that I had fallen in love with Miss Shen's eldest brother. I was really wronged!
Madam Shen is so stubborn and loud in a place like an inn. I can't stay here any longer!"
Murong Xu's temples throbbed when he heard this. He had thought that she was an ignorant country woman, and he could easily conquer her by using both kindness and force, but he didn't expect that she was actually an unreasonable shrew. He suddenly felt in a difficult situation.
He was unwilling to let go just like that.
Chen Tian is not a peerless beauty, nor is she a lady from a wealthy family, but she has a calmness and indifference that transcends her age. It is as if she can remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of her. She has an extraordinary temperament and regards wealth and glory as nothing but clouds and smoke.
She was different from all the women he had met before, so such a special woman naturally could not be missed.
"Forget it! Since you will cause Madam Shen to misunderstand, you'd better not go back, lest Madam Shen become even more suspicious. Let Madam Ning go. I don't believe that an old woman will be misunderstood by Madam Shen."
Liu Su was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Master, will Madam Shen think that Nanny Ning is going after Master Shen?"
"Puff!" All the tea in Murong Xu's mouth sprayed out, and he laughed angrily, "Liu Su, you can go down now!"
Nanny Ning was a serious old woman who never smiled. She relied on her background in the palace to be very particular about rules. As soon as she arrived at the door of the inn, she frowned in disgust, "How could Your Highness be attracted to a country girl like that? And you asked me to come and invite her in person."
In her mind, country girls are all vulgar and no matter how pretty they are, they are not worthy of being in a refined hall. His Highness is just a temporary novelty, and the other party is still treating her like this, how shameless!
As soon as the angry Nanny Ning entered the inn, she gave a cold order to the waiter who came forward to greet her.
"Take me to see the family of three that just moved in. They are a woman, a young man, and a young girl."
After Nanny Ning said this, the waiter knew who it was and felt a little regretful.
"Mother-in-law is late. The family of three just checked out half an hour ago."
"What? Checked out? How could you ask them to check out?" Nanny Ning raised her voice in an instant, furious.
The waiter was also angry, but he held it back and explained in a gentle voice: "Mother-in-law, this is an inn, we are ordinary people, they are guests, we have to serve them respectfully, and we have to greet them with a smile when they want to leave. It's really unreasonable for you to say that we can't let them leave!"
"Hmph! Useless thing! You don't even understand a hint of etiquette. You deserve to be a waiter your whole life!" Nanny Ning vented all her anger on the waiter.
The waiter also frowned, "Yes, I have been a waiter all my life. Our small shop cannot afford to entertain a big Buddha like you. Please come in!"
The waiter went to greet others without thinking, which made Nanny Ning very angry. She just turned around, then stopped and asked in a bad tone: "Where did they go?"
The waiter ignored Nanny Ning at all.
Nanny Ning's face turned completely black. She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "I'm asking you where they went. Are you deaf? Do you still want to continue to hang out in the imperial capital?"
"I just don't want anything to happen!" The waiter threw his sweat towel angrily, glared at Nanny Ning viciously, turned around and strode away.
Nanny Ning was so angry that she went to find the innkeeper and said, "Is this the waiter of your inn? You are the largest inn in the imperial capital, but this is nothing!"
The shopkeeper witnessed the whole process of Nanny Ning finding fault, and naturally could tell Nanny Ning's identity. He said with a fake smile: "I don't know what this Nanny's name is? I will pass your opinion to our boss. Oh, by the way! Our boss is the Princess of Huai'an.
The waiter you looked down upon just now was arranged by Princess Huai'an."
Nanny Ning's expression changed slightly. She suppressed her anger and took a deep breath. Her attitude became much kinder. "Boss, don't use Princess Huai'an to pressure me. I am just doing things for the Second Prince. You lost the person the Second Prince wanted. It's your fault!"
The shopkeeper immediately distanced himself from the matter, "Don't say that! The Second Prince never asked us to help him look for someone, so how come we are the ones who lost him now? We dare not wear such a big hat, how about I go to see the Second Prince in person to explain? Or go to see our eldest princess and have a good talk with her?"
"You!" Nanny Ning couldn't win the argument with the shopkeeper, so she left angrily.
After being pestered by her like this, Shen Tian and her family had already arrived at the Buddhist temple.
After the abbot learned about Chen Tian's situation, he agreed that the family could eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in the temple for a month.
By the time Murong Xu found out the whereabouts of the family of three, it was already Laba Festival.
It just so happened that today the Queen Mother would take some high-ranking concubines from the harem to the Buddhist temple to do charity and alms, so he followed them.
When the other princes saw this, they thought Murong Xu's behavior was strange and followed him.
The Queen Mother's ordinary trip out of the palace turned into a grand outing.
The Queen Mother looked at the Queen beside her and smiled from ear to ear, "In previous years, those children were not willing to get involved in such matters. Only you are willing to accompany an old woman like me!"
The Queen covered her mouth and chuckled, "Mother, isn't it just right that they want to go together? Today is Laba Festival, and many wives and daughters of officials are going to the Buddhist temple to burn incense. The princes are all there, so maybe we can pair up a few good stories!"
