Chapter 78 Mom, listen to me
After breakfast, the young couple returned to the Princess's Mansion with the gifts.
The prince's family was also there and happily welcomed the guests in.
Xie Yunzhao looked carefully but did not see Shen Qi's wife. Thinking back to the wedding day, he did not seem to have seen her either.
But he didn't ask any more questions and just sat obediently next to Shen Shurong.
The whole family was concerned about whether Shen Shurong could adapt well. She felt that it was okay. The Duke's wife had always respected her and was not a harsh person. It might be related to the fact that she was a princess.
In her previous life, she only had one daughter-in-law. I wonder if she feels the same way towards Li Wan'er.
The old tutor suddenly changed the topic to Xie Yunzhao, saying that there were some serious matters to be dealt with later.
Before Xie Yunzhao could speak, Shen Shurong protected him first, "Grandfather, don't worry. I will be busy from tomorrow onwards. If it is not convenient for my granddaughter to come forward for the treasury, he will have to do it."
The old master nodded with satisfaction, it was still somewhat useful.
Xie Yunzhao looked at Shen Shurong and smiled slightly, how could he not know?
Lunch was served at the Princess's Residence. There were not many people in the Residence, only nine including Chen Shurong's half brothers and half sisters, so a large round table was made. Of course, the prince's concubine was not qualified to come.
Xie Yunzhao still hadn't seen Liang, and it seemed that he hadn't heard any news about her giving birth.
When he was wondering, Shen Shurong looked at his mother and asked, "Does mother have any idea about my eldest brother's marriage?"
The Princess nodded and said, "There are a few good ones, but Mother still needs to taste them."
Chen Qi didn't say anything. He just listened to his mother this time. He was disappointed with love.
Shen Shurong agreed: “How is Liang now? Mother, keep an eye on her and don’t let her delay things.”
"Don't worry, in mother's hands, it's her good fortune that she's still alive."
Xie Yunzhao felt a little scared after listening to this. He thought that Liang must have made a mistake that made his mother-in-law and Rongrong so unacceptable. He had to find out clearly. He had to be more vigilant and not make the same mistake.
Chen Shurong looked at his ten-year-old half-sister. She was good-looking, but a little timid.
She and Xie Yunzhao have a long way to go. After all, she is her sister. When she gets married in the future, she cannot be easily used by her in-laws because of her. "Mother, please hire a female teacher for Yutong and let her aunt see her less."
Shen Yutong had been afraid of her elder sister since she was a child. When she heard that she was not allowed to meet her aunt, she lowered her head and dared not speak, but there was warmth in her eyes.
The princess glared at her. Why did she care about this little bitch? Just like her aunt, she only knows how to cry.
The prince thought this suggestion was good: "Yongjia is right, just keep her in the madam's yard. Yutong has become more timid because of being raised by her mother." She didn't even dare to greet her father generously.
"Okay, I'll do it when I get back." The Princess was dissatisfied but there was nothing she could do. Suddenly she realized something was wrong. Who is the mother?
Why do you listen to your daughter in everything?
Then I thought about it and decided not to pull her ears since there were so many people around.
The eight-year-old Chen Yuan also lowered his head to eat, not daring to look at his eldest sister. If the eldest sister took care of the second sister, she would not take care of him.
"How's Xiaoyuan's homework lately?"
Shen Yuan closed his eyes, his facial features wrinkled together, then he raised his head resignedly and looked at Shen Shurong: “Eldest sister, I have started learning archery recently.”
"Well, okay, I'll have someone give you a good bow later. You're still young now, so you can't practice for too long."
"Thank you, elder sister. Master will manage the time."
The princess put down her chopsticks in dissatisfaction. Why should she care what they were doing?
The eldest princess smiled and looked over: "Why is Yongjia suddenly controlling his younger brothers and sisters?"
Shen Shurong didn’t say much. They were all people who would not betray her. They had to be trained from childhood. Even if they couldn’t be the knife in her hand, they couldn’t hold her back. “Maybe after starting a family, I think too much.”
The Princess and her husband, as well as Prince Chen Qi, all nodded with satisfaction. Yongjia had really grown up a lot since he fell into the water.
Xie Yunzhao's eyes swept coldly towards Shen Yutong and Shen Yuan. They dared to make Rongrong worry. If they couldn't learn well, he would show them how he would deal with them.
For some reason, the two children always felt a chill on their backs.
The Princess of the County did not want to talk about this, and said something else: "The main courtyard of the County Lord's Mansion has been repaired. If you want to move in, you can do so anytime. The other courtyards can be repaired slowly. No one lives there now."
"The horse ranch is similar. It will be ready for use next month if there is less rain."
When Xie Yunzhao heard the word horse farm, he thought that it was Rongrong who gave it to him. He smiled happily and wished he could move in right away.
"But it's not a good idea for you to move out right after you got married, especially since you have a wedding next month."
Chen Shurong nodded: "I know what mother and mother-in-law mean. Let us spend the first year after our marriage in the Duke's Mansion and move next year."
Xie Yunzhao's eyes widened: "When did mother tell me that? How come I didn't know?"
“Maybe mother-in-law thinks you don’t want to move, so you just need to convince me.” Shen Shurong smiled at him.
Xie Yunzhao was unhappy. How could his mother make any demands to Rongrong? "It doesn't matter. Princess can move whenever she wants. As for Xie Yunzheng's marriage, we are not far away. We can go back two days in advance to meet our relatives."
Shen Shurong patted him: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
"I'm not talking nonsense. I won't let you suffer any injustice. If you want to sue me, my mother will listen to me."
Old Master Shen and the Prince's eyebrows twitched. He had read so much books that nothing could get him down the drain. Why should he ask his mother to listen to him?
But he was on Yongjia's side, and the father and son both held back the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
"Okay, live here first. If you're not happy, we'll move out." Chen Shurong narrowed her eyes and smiled. Her man was on her side.
The eldest princess lowered her head to eat, trying to suppress the smile in her eyes.
The Princess was also stunned by Xie Yunzhao's remarks. Her husband had never said such a thing. She glanced at her mother-in-law and thought, forget it. She wouldn't believe it even if she said it.
Chen Qi was happy for her sister. Although her brother-in-law was a playboy, he was sincere to her.
The two younger ones felt that this new brother-in-law was just coaxing them with words, so how could their stepmother listen to him? It's impossible even if he is my own son.
After lunch, the eldest princess asked her granddaughter to go to the study with her.
Xie Yunzhao followed Chen Qi and tried to find out what Liang had done wrong to make Rongrong so angry.
Shen Qi sighed and said only one sentence: Her heart is not with me.
Xie Yunzhao felt relieved and breathed a deep breath. He would never make this mistake again in his life.
…
Chen Shurong sat next to the eldest princess, still leaning on her arms as she did before she got married. The two of them were tall among the women, and did not look petite at all.
The eldest princess wanted to touch her hair, but she found it was already tied up. "In the blink of an eye, you are married, and your grandmother has grown old."
"Grandma is not old. Your heart is younger than that of the Emperor's uncle."
"Did you arrange the person that the Third Prince recommended this time?"
“Nothing can be hidden from Grandma.”
"Why is that so? Last time I mentioned the Third Prince to the Emperor, it was just to divide the Crown Prince's hostility towards you. In the end, the throne still belongs to the Crown Prince."
Chen Shurong didn't want her grandmother to worry about it, nor did she want to show her ambitions too early: "Granddaughter knows that granddaughter just wants to have more bargaining chips of her own, so that she can help the prince brother in the future."
