Chapter 235 Family
Princess Yi'an regards the palace as her home and now lives in the marquis's mansion, which undoubtedly reflects the attitude of the empress dowager.
Lin Hao didn't care about Princess Yi'an's condition and said with a smile, "It's nothing. Wan'er, try this candied cherry dish and see if it suits your taste."
When Kou Wan heard Lin Hao calling her Wan'er, her heart warmed and she scooped a large spoonful of sugar curd into her mouth.
"Delicious!" Kou Wan couldn't help but praise the refreshing and milky candied cheese as soon as she took a bite.
"As long as you like it, it will be gone in half a month."
Kou Wan held the silver spoon, a little puzzled: "Such a delicious dessert, is it going to be gone soon?"
Lin Hao said with a smile: "The weather is getting cold, it's not good to eat ice, then I will switch to sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root."
Kou Wan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "I like glutinous rice, lotus roots, and osmanthus flowers!"
Lin Hao: “…” This girl likes quite a lot.
"Then I'll come back when the time comes." Kou Wan finished her candied cheese and asked about Chunni and Ling'er. "So they're working at the flower dew shop now. Is there another sister here too?"
"The little girl was sent back home. Chunni and Ling'er were left homeless, so they stayed at the Hualu Shop to work."
"So that's how it is." Kou Wan was genuinely happy for Chunni and the others.
Lin Hao patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will tell them not to mention you to anyone."
Kou Wanqing couldn't help but have red eyes: "Sister Lin——"
She didn't want to cry because she felt embarrassed, but she couldn't help it.
"Sister Lin, can I have another bowl of sugar curd?"
Looking at the red-eyed girl, Lin Hao suppressed a smile and refused: "My stomach can't handle eating too much ice. If you like it, come back tomorrow."
Kou Wan sobbed and wiped her tears while explaining: "No, it's not because of the sugar cheese..."
Princess Yi'an had been causing trouble for Kou Wan during the days she lived in the Marquis' Mansion because she was in a bad mood, and the little girl was filled with grievances.
She just didn't understand why her own sister was not as good as an unrelated stranger.
Lin Hao silently handed over a handkerchief.
After crying, Kou Wan felt much better. She said goodbye to Lin Hao reluctantly and returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
"Are you willing to come back?" Princess Yi'an looked at her coldly, her voice so sharp that she didn't even notice it.
Kou Wan glanced at her and walked forward.
Princess Yi'an's face darkened: "Stop!"
Kou Wan paused and said in a cold voice, "Sister, is there anything else?"
Princess Yi'an was furious: "Kou Wan, do you still take me, your sister, seriously?"
Kou Wan looked at her elder sister's gloomy face and didn't want to endure it any longer: "Then you have to act like a sister."
"What did you say?" Princess Yi'an raised her hand subconsciously.
Kou Wan sneered: "Why, still want to hit me?"
Princess Yi'an's raised hand instantly reminded her of the nightmare experience of falling into the hands of the kidnapper, and completely wiped out the already weak sisterly love.
She looked at her sister, who was born to the same mother, with cold eyes.
"What's going on?" Lady Weiwu frowned as she looked at her two daughters, who were on edge. "If you have anything to say, come inside and talk."
Princess Yi'an glanced at Kou Wan and walked into the house, but Kou Wan stood there without moving.
"Mom, I'm going back to my room."
Princess Yi An turned around abruptly: "You still want to hide?"
Kou Wan had originally not wanted to argue any further, but seeing her like that, she raised her eyebrows and sneered, "This is my home, why should I hide? Don't take your anger out on others just because you're staying at home."
Princess Yi'an's secrets were exposed, and her expression twisted as if it were pierced by needles: "Kou Wan, are you very proud to see me in such bad luck?"
Valley cheek
She was clearly wronged, and everyone knew that she was wronged, but the empress dowager asked her to stay in the marquis's mansion for a while, and no one from the palace has come to pick her up yet.
"Wan'er, how can you talk to your sister like that? You are so disrespectful." Lady Weiwuhou subconsciously defended her eldest daughter.
Kou Wan looked at her mother with dissatisfaction on her face, and her heart felt colder than the bowl of sugared cheese she had eaten at Hualu Shop.
"Mother, she was the one who was always picking on me, not even letting me go back to my room. Why do you only blame me in the end?"
It’s probably because Kou Jiao has the title of princess.
Kou Wan actually knew it in her heart, and therefore became more disappointed with her mother.
At this time, a maid came hurriedly: "Madam, someone is coming from the palace!"
Princess Yi'an was overjoyed when she heard this: "Someone's coming from the palace? Where is he?"
"The sedan is parked outside the door. Please go to the flower hall and sit down."
Without waiting for the wife of Marquis Weiwu to speak, Princess Yian walked quickly towards the flower hall.
The wife of the Marquis of Weiwu smiled as she reminded Kou Wan, "Stop arguing with your sister. Your sister only comes home for a few days a year. Can't you be more sensible?"
"I'm going back to my room." Kou Wan said this and ran away.
"This girl." Lady Weiwuhou shook her head and walked towards the flower hall.
When Princess Yi'an walked outside the flower hall, she suppressed her excitement and waited silently for the wife of Marquis Weiwu to come before going in together.
Waiting in the flower hall was a young eunuch named Yang from the Empress Dowager's palace, who had been to the Marquis's Mansion many times.
The wife of the Marquis of Weiwu smiled and said, "I'm sorry to have kept Eunuch Yang waiting."
"Madam Hou is too polite."
"Eunuch Yang is here to take Jiaojiao back to the palace, right?" Lady Weiwu looked at Princess Yi'an lovingly, "This child thinks of the Queen Mother every day."
The eunuch quickly glanced at Princess Yi'an, his smile a little awkward: "The Queen Mother dreamed of the Second Young Lady last night, and she couldn't stop thinking about her after waking up, so she ordered this servant to come and fetch the Second Young Lady into the palace."
The wife of Marquis Weiwu unconsciously stopped laughing, thinking she had heard wrongly.
Princess Yi'an was even more incredulous: "Eunuch Yang, you said the Empress Dowager asked you to come and bring the Second Young Lady into the palace?"
"Exactly."
"The second young lady is my sister Kou Wan. Did you hear wrongly?"
The eunuch frowned.
Princess Yi'an usually serves as Empress Dowager Huan's daughter and seems quite smart. Why is she so ignorant now?
"I dare not spread rumors. The Empress Dowager wants me to bring the Second Miss Kou Wan into the palace."
This answer left Princess Yi'an with no hope.
"What about me?" she blurted out, her hands hanging by her sides trembling uncontrollably.
The eunuch lowered his eyes slightly: "The Queen Mother said that the princess should relax and not rush back to the palace to be detained."
"But I—"
"Jiao Jiao!" Lady Weiwu interrupted Princess Yi'an and smiled at the eunuch, "Then wait a moment, Eunuch Yang. I'll send someone to call Wan'er over."
Kou Wan was still confused when she came over: "The Queen Mother asked me to enter the palace?"
The eunuch smiled and said, "Second Miss, don't keep the Queen Mother waiting anxiously. The sedan chair is right outside."
"Oh." Kou Wan responded randomly, and subconsciously looked at the wife of Marquis Weiwu and Princess Yi'an. In the end, she said nothing, and followed the eunuch into the sedan chair and went into the palace.
The wife of Marquis Weiwu stood at the door and watched. Princess Yian also followed out in a daze. When the sedan chair completely disappeared from her sight, she finally collapsed.
"Mother, why did the Queen Mother take my second sister into the palace?" She tugged at the sleeve of Marquis Weiwu's wife, her eyes frantic. "Why did she take my second sister away?"
Wife of Marquis Weiwu looked at her eldest daughter who had lost her composure and suddenly realized her willfulness. Her tone softened, "The Queen Mother wanted to see your sister, so she naturally took her into the palace."
