The main room of Xie Mansion.
Mrs. Xie and Xie Qingyue sat on the bed, carefully looking through the betrothal gifts sent by the Jiang family.
Xie Qingyue suddenly noticed something: "Mom, why is it written on it that it is the eldest daughter of the Xie family?"
Mrs. Xie hurriedly snatched it away, and when she took a look at it, she was really amazing.
"Could it be that the Jiang family wants to marry that bitch Xie Nanchu?"
Thinking about the past few days, when the Marquis's wife came to see Xie Nanchu specially, and how the little princess always stayed at Xie Nanchu's place today, both mother and daughter were panicked.
"Mom, if Xie Nanchu marries him, we will have no way to survive." Xie Qingyue felt a chill in her heart when she thought about that bitch Xie Nanchu who knew her little secret.
Mrs. Xie thought for a moment and said, "My daughter, the Jiang family said they wanted the eldest daughter of the Xie family. Did they tell her her name?"
Xie Qingyue shook her head.
"I am now your father's wife. You are under my name, so you are the eldest daughter of the Xie family." In addition, Xie Nanchu was raised in the countryside, so few people knew her name.
Xie Qingyue's eyes lit up: "But, what about Xie Nanchu?"
Madam Xie's eyes were sharp: "You dare to block my daughter's way, you don't know whether you live or die."
At lunch, because Jiang Yuanxi was there, Mo Mei specially cooked two of her signature dishes.
"Little princess, there's nothing good here. I hope you won't dislike it." Mo Mei said in a low voice.
The princess had come to see the young lady with great difficulty, and the meat and vegetables on the table were bought with all her own pocket money.
I just hope that the princess can remember the lady's kindness and help her.
Jiang Yuanxi didn't care at all. He picked up the food with chopsticks and ate it with relish.
This is much better than eating vegetarian food every day in the mansion.
There is also meat. My mother feeds her vegetarian food every day, and her mouth is so dry that it tastes like a bird.
Seeing how happily the little guy was eating, Xie Nanchu and Mo Mei were both happy.
"That's right."
Mo Mei suddenly remembered something and ran to the back to take out a food box.
"These are the cakes sent by my lady. I'm sure the little princess will love them."
The food box was opened, and several exquisite pastries appeared in front of the three people.
Xie Nanchu looked at them curiously: "These are probably worth a lot of silver."
Mo Mei smiled and said, "I heard that these are cakes from Yufu Pavilion. These few are worth fifty taels."
Probably because Xie Qingyue got married and the lady was happy, she gave it to them as a reward.
Xie Nanchu stretched out his hand and was about to take it, but the next moment, the food box was knocked over by Jiang Yuanxi.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't mean it." Jiang Yuanxi pouted.
The delicate pastry fell to the ground and was covered with dirt.
"Oh my." Mo Mei exclaimed and squatted down to pick it up.
But the little princess stepped on it again, and happened to step on the five cakes.
Xie Nanchu: ...
Mo Mei:......
Hearing the little princess step on it and say "Oops", the two were completely speechless.
If the knocking over just now was not intentional, then it is hard to justify the fact that the pastry was stepped on so precisely and it was not intentional.
"What a pity." Mo Mei felt distressed.
Such an expensive pastry was wasted like this.
[My sister-in-law won’t blame me. ]
Jiang Yuanxi lowered his head, glancing up from time to time.
[But these are all poisonous, and the deadly red-crowned crane's head is also poisonous. ]
Xie Nanchu and Mo Mei looked up suddenly, and they looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Mo Mei didn't dare to think that if she hadn't taken it out today and the little princess hadn't discovered it in time, their young lady would have been the one to die.
Madam is really so cruel.
Xie Nanchu looked calm, picked up Jiang Yuanxi and put him on the stool.
"Yuan Xi, it's okay. Next time I have it, I'll save it for you, okay?" Xie Nanchu said gently.
Jiang Yuanxi: "Won't my sister-in-law blame me?"
"Of course not, Yuan Xi was just careless." The little princess saved her life, this favor was greater than heaven.
Mo Mei had no choice but to clean up all the debris on the ground.
As the wedding was approaching, the emperor gave Jiang Yuansheng a month's vacation.
Despite Jiang Yuansheng's repeated attempts to stop him and to continue in office, the emperor still refused.
"My dear, you have been busy for so long, you should take a good rest."
Jiang Yuansheng: "Your Majesty, I."
The emperor held out his hand to silence him: "Okay, this matter is settled."
Jiang Yuansheng could only obey the order.
Watching the man walk away, Cao Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang's marriage is being arranged by the palace, why did you let him go back?" He also took a month off.
The emperor took a sip of tea and said, "Don't forget, that little guy lingered in front of the treasury all night yesterday. If I don't let him go back early, I'm afraid all my treasury will be used as a betrothal gift to Jiang Yuansheng."
The emperor looked unhappy, but he didn't think much about it.
He just wanted to protect the national treasury.
Although the little guy put a lot of money into the national treasury, it was already in the national treasury, so how could he take it back?
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Well, send someone to give some gifts to the Jiang family."
Cao Cheng agreed.
Your Majesty is trying to impress the princess with his sincerity.
Not long after Jiang Yuansheng returned, Cao Cheng arrived at Jiang's house.
Jiang Yuansheng came out to greet him.
"Eunuch Cao, your majesty, this is happening." Jiang Yuansheng really couldn't understand what his majesty meant.
"Oh," Eunuch Cao said with a smile, "His Majesty learned about Lord Jiang's wedding and sent some gifts. Lord Jiang is a loyal minister of Yufeng, so His Majesty is also very concerned about him."
"Thank you, eunuch." Jiang Yuansheng said politely.
At this time, Jiang Yuanxi poked his head out from the door.
The little guy scratched his head, at a loss.
[The Emperor gave my elder brother a holiday and also gave him gifts. How can I steal from the treasury now?]
Jiang Yuansheng: "......"
