Chapter 10 She is so brave!
In the imperial capital, it is customary to return to the bride's parents' home on the third day after the wedding to show their deep love.
Nianying got up early this day.
The young palace maid was dressing her up behind her, while Nanny Shi, holding a cup of tea, said, "The prince cannot accompany you back home today."
Fu Yi did not come to Youhuangyuan last night, so Cheng Nianying did not feel surprised when she heard this today.
She responded, "Okay."
Nanny Shi had prepared a lot of words of comfort, but she swallowed them all back.
The two little palace maids at the back exchanged glances and secretly said, "Just pretend."
No matter which woman she is, it will be embarrassing to return home without her husband.
"Okay, Madam, what do you think?" The maid who was combing her hair put away her hands and turned to ask Madam Shi. She had somewhat neglected her mistress Cheng Nianying.
Nanny Shi coughed lightly and asked Cheng Nianying, "Princess, take a look. Do you like what you are wearing today?"
She intended to reprimand the young palace maid, but she was also afraid that Cheng Nianying would make her own decisions and choose inappropriate clothes or dress inappropriately.
How could she know that Cheng Nianying didn't care about these things at all.
"I like it very much." Cheng Nianying said and stood up.
Wearing gold and silver and gorgeous clothes, how could she not be dissatisfied?
The little palace maid breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and hurriedly gave Madam Shi a subtle, flattering smile.
Nanny Shi glared at her sideways, then quickly supported Cheng Nianying: "There's no need to rush, let's have breakfast first. The kitchen made winter bamboo shoots and whitebait soup today, I don't know if it suits your taste..."
Winter bamboo shoots and whitebait soup? Cheng Nianying had never tasted it.
Just hearing the name made her drool.
"Just eat this." She said affirmatively.
Suddenly, an idea came to Madam Shi’s mind—how easy it would be to raise him!
This idea was a bit out of line, but she did feel that this girl had none of the arrogance of a daughter of a marquis.
The subordinates should love and respect such a master more!
Breakfast was quickly served. Just as Cheng Nianying picked up her chopsticks, someone approached from outside the courtyard gate and bowed from a distance, "Princess of the County."
The little palace maid happily went to meet her, calling her affectionately, "Sister Muhe."
Mu He just kept talking to Cheng Nianying: "This is the list of gifts for today's return visit. Please review it, Princess, and see if there is anything wrong."
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Everyone knew that although the daughter of the Marquis's mansion had married into the family, she had yet to take charge of the household. Now Mu He was acting on her behalf, but who knew if the Princess would be furious.
Muhe lowered his head and handed the list with both hands, looking very respectful.
In fact, I couldn't help but think about it.
Will she be satisfied with this gift list?
If I am not satisfied and make a fuss, will I be made to look pitiful, or will the prince blame me for my incompetence?
Just as everyone was having different thoughts, Cheng Nianying took it and glanced at it quickly. She said, "Okay."
The little palace maid was stunned.
good?
Good again?
Everything is good?
Can you really tolerate this?
Mu He also asked with a smile: "The Princess has checked them one by one. Is there anything wrong?"
Cheng Nianying had no idea what should be prepared on the gift list for returning home.
Anyway, if she comes to see it, she will never be picky.
But she was representing her "sister", so she had to speak beautifully at this time.
She immediately put down her chopsticks, looked up at Mu He, and asked seriously, "Did the prince assign this matter to you?"
Mu He: “Yes.”
"Even the prince trusts you, so why can't I trust your ability?" Cheng Nianying asked back.
This question stumped Mu He.
Mu He moved her lips with difficulty, thinking to herself that it was a good move. If she dared to do anything, it would only hurt the prince's reputation.
These words made the Princess appear to be extremely sensible.
Nanny Shi laughed out loud, "Yes, that's right. The prince has entrusted this matter to Miss Muhe, so how could it not be handled?"
Mu He gathered her composure and took the gift list back: "Yes, I am grateful for your kindness, Master, and thank you for your trust, Princess."
The other people in the room listened to this conversation in a daze, not expecting that this round of confrontation could be resolved so easily.
Cheng Nianying ignored him and lowered her head to concentrate on finishing her breakfast.
Mu He couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.
It was as if all her temptations and expectations were not as important to this girl from the Marquisate as the meal before her...
"I'm done eating, let's go." Cheng Nianying's voice rang out.
The room finally became quiet again, and everyone got busy, preparing to leave the house.
When we arrived at the gate of the mansion, someone was already waiting there.
"Master Fu?" Nanny Shi called out the man's name in a stunned voice.
Fu Ruiming was dressed in a blue uniform, with a knife slung at his waist. He slowly turned around, bowed with a cold face and said, "Cousin's wife."
The little maidservant was walking behind and was the first to blush.
Lord Fu is very handsome.
Cheng Nianying blinked slowly, the route to the Prince's Mansion that she had just walked was still imprinted in her mind.
When arriving at a place, it has become a habit ingrained in the killer to memorize the way there first.
"Master Fu." Cheng Nianying came back to her senses and called out like Nanny Shi.
"I don't deserve it. My courtesy name is Zimao, and my cousin's wife calls me that." Fu Ruiming paused and said, "Today I will send my cousin's wife back home."
The servants in the Marquis' Mansion looked shocked.
He was the one who welcomed the bride before, and now he is the one who is also responsible for the return visit today?
Although I knew early on that the prince was seriously ill... I couldn't accompany him when he returned home. I was afraid that the girl, who had just escaped death from the underworld, would want to hang herself again after hearing this.
"Is the prince too sick to get up?" Cheng Nianying asked curiously.
Fu Ruiming thought she was being sarcastic, so he replied coldly, "My brother was seriously injured while saving His Majesty, and he also worked tirelessly on official duties. Even if he recovers today, I'm afraid he won't have as much free time as other men to spend with his wife."
"That's fine." Cheng Nianying said without thinking.
She always has to stay in one place and be alert at all times.
No, she thinks it's okay, but the Marquis' Mansion may not think so...
Cheng Nianying immediately changed the subject: "What should we do in the future?"
This needs to be clarified on behalf of the Marquis' Mansion.
"Later?" Fu Ruiming looked at her.
Cheng Nianying nodded: "Well, we will have children in the future."
Fu Ruiming: “…”
The little maidservant even started coughing because of the choking.
"We can't let Fu... You Zimao do everything for us." Cheng Nianying said seriously.
Fu Ruiming, who was such an iceberg, turned his head away abruptly at this moment, his neck slightly red as he squeezed out a voice: "This matter... naturally, it will be discussed with you... by my brother."
After saying this, Fu Ruiming felt something was wrong.
What he said... is as if his brother doesn't have time to accompany her back home, but has time to consummate the marriage with her. He is just a lustful man!
Fu Ruiming wanted to make amends, but after moving his lips, he couldn't find the right words.
Looking at Cheng Nianying, she didn't care how shocking her words were. After she had finished caring about her "husband" and got the answer she wanted, she lifted her skirt and calmly walked towards the sedan chair.
Fu Ruiming was depressed: "..."
The curtain of the sedan chair fell.
Fu Ruiming also climbed onto the horse.
The group left the Prince's Mansion.
And just one door away.
Wu Xun was dumbfounded and looked back at his master: "She, she is so bold!"
