Seeing this, the constable looked innocently at Shangguan Yanran, scratched his head, and said somewhat uneasily, "This humble servant has never met Madam Fu. It was only my duty to stop her. Will you punish me when you return, sir?"
Shangguan Yanran reassured her, "Don't worry, it won't happen. You said it yourself that it was your duty. You don't know Madam Fu, so naturally you can't let her pass. It's only right that the adults reward you, so why would they punish you?"
Upon hearing this, the constable finally felt relieved.
If Miss Shangguan says no, then no.
Everyone knows that the usually aloof and indifferent Lord Fu has shown a special interest in this Miss Shangguan, and everyone privately has already decided that she is the future Mrs. Fu.
Therefore, he believed everything Shangguan Yanran said without a doubt.
When Madam Fu arrived, Shangguan Yanran naturally couldn't leave her behind and go out to play.
After hesitating for a moment, she had no choice but to abandon her plan to go out and return to the government office.
An ugly daughter-in-law must eventually meet her in-laws.
Although it wasn't her first time meeting Madam Fu, and Madam Fu seemed to dislike her quite a bit.
But she trusted Fu Rongchen. He said he would go to her house to propose marriage after he returned. Since they were going to live together in the future, she shouldn't run away. She should also be tolerant of Madam Fu's unreasonable behavior.
She couldn't help but be moved by her own "kindness".
Madam Fu had already taken her seat in the flower hall. Just as Shi Hua was about to take the teacup from the maid, Shangguan Yanran suddenly walked in and took the teacup from the maid first.
Shi Hua nearly crushed a mouthful of silver teeth.
"Auntie must be thirsty. Have a cup of tea to soothe your throat."
One cannot hit a smiling face, and even if Madam Fu had a problem with her, she couldn't bring herself to be cold at this moment.
Besides, she was indeed thirsty, so she took the teacup and took a sip.
Before Shangguan Yanran could even say "Be careful, it's hot!", she heard a "pfft" and spat out a mouthful of tea.
Madam Fu slammed the teacup down on the table and exclaimed in a fit of rage, "Is this tea so hot that you want to scald me to death?"
The weather was already hot enough, and with the long journey, Madam Fu's temper flared up instantly, and her face turned very ugly.
Shi Hua's lips curled up in a sarcastic smile. Shangguan Yanran's flattery had backfired.
Shangguan Yanran said somewhat awkwardly, "Auntie, please calm down. It was my oversight. I'll make you a fresh cup of warm water right away."
The maid who served the tea thought she would be punished, but to her surprise, Shangguan Yanran didn't mention that she had served it. Instead, she took the blame for it. The maid felt guilty and touched.
Miss Shangguan is such a kind person.
Shangguan Yanran quickly placed a glass of warm water next to Madam Fu.
"The water temperature is just right this time, Auntie can drink it with peace of mind."
Madam Fu felt a lump in her throat, unsure whether to be angry or not.
Finally, he reached out and took it.
Seeing this, Shi Hua twisted her handkerchief, feeling secretly anxious.
She had urged the madam to come over so that the madam could teach Shangguan Yanran a lesson and make her too ashamed to stay by the young master's side. However, the current situation had clearly deviated from her plan.
However, Shangguan Yanran's skin is really thick enough. She did something shameful, yet she still serves the lady with a clear conscience. It's simply despicable.
Fortunately, Madam Fu did not disappoint her. After drinking a cup of tea and calming down, she finally remembered the purpose of her trip.
