Chapter 327 Deterrence
"That's right!" Chen Yan blinked innocently, "Master, when the general was trying to harm you, he didn't tell you directly. If it weren't for Doctor Mu, you wouldn't have known it until now!"
Seeing Yuan Qilei nod in agreement, Chen Yan continued, "When someone bullies you, you naturally have to fight back. If they're doing it covertly, we can just do it openly! Besides, your rank isn't as high as that of a general. If we really fight openly, you'll definitely suffer a great loss. Look at this old lady now. Is she still on your side like before?"
Yuan Qilei felt uncomfortable when he thought of his mother's partiality. He also felt that Chen Yan was very understanding, so he said, "Yan'er, what you said makes sense, but what is the opportunity you are talking about? Yan'er, do you have any good ideas?"
Chen Yan smiled embarrassedly: "Master, you are joking. I am a woman living in a deep house. What knowledge can I have? I just said it casually. I just thought that you could pay more attention to it in your daily life. If there is a chance, you must seize it!"
Yuan Qilei thought about it and nodded. Indeed, Chen Yan, a girl from the inner house, was knowledgeable enough to say so much today. It seemed that he had to be more careful!
"Yan'er, I remember!" Yuan Qilei sighed with satisfaction: "Thanks to you."
Chen Yan lowered her head slightly: "It is Yan'er's blessing to be able to share the master's worries!"
The death of Liu Heng shocked Liu Zhaoyi in the palace so much that she found an opportunity to find Emperor Wen of Qi to cry and complain about her grievances. Emperor Wen of Qi had some feelings for Liu Zhaoyi in his heart. In addition, Liu Zhaoyi was also implicated that day. Seeing Liu Zhaoyi crying, his heart softened a little. Although he did not restore Liu Zhaoyi's previous position, he went to Liu Zhaoyi more often!
Who can survive in the palace without being a shrewd person? Of course, I understand that Liu Zhaoyi has regained her favor, but it has made the Queen Mother very angry.
Fortunately, Emperor Wen of Qi did not restore Liu Zhaoyi's position, nor did he mention restoring Xuanyuan Xiao's title, so the empress dowager finally calmed down.
"Second Miss, I never thought that Imperial Tutor Liu was such a person!" Qingzhi said to Yuan Ziyu while sorting her clothes and jewelry, "I always thought he was so upright. I used to regret that the things that Third Miss Liu did were detrimental to his reputation!"
Yuan Ziyu smiled and said nothing!
Qingying said, "That's right. We were all kept in the dark. Now that I think about it, Miss Liu San's behavior is probably related to Imperial Tutor Liu. If Imperial Tutor Liu is truly upright, then how could Miss Liu San be so vicious?"
"That's right," Qingzhi said as she picked up a white jade and begonia hairpin and said to Yuan Ziyu with a smile, "Second Miss, the day after tomorrow when you go to the Marquis Xuanping's mansion, wear this hairpin with your new aqua blue dress. How about that?"
Now that autumn has arrived, Liu has made several sets of dresses for Yuan Ziyu from the most famous Nishang Pavilion in the capital. It just so happens that Lady Meng, the wife of Marquis Xuanping, has invited Liu and Yuan Ziyu to go to Marquis Xuanping's mansion to appreciate chrysanthemums the day after tomorrow. Even before the day comes, Qingzhi is busy helping Yuan Ziyu prepare clothes and headgear!
Yuan Ziyou was holding a pharmacopoeia in his hand. When he heard Qingzhi's words, he smiled and said, "I don't care about you!"
Qingzhi smiled and said, "In that case, I will be the Second Young Lady's mistress for once!"
"Okay!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
Qingying smiled and said, "Second Miss, just let her go. Be careful that she won't get lost later!"
"If you can't find it, then you can't find it!" Qingzhi said with a smile: "Anyway, I will just follow the second girl, no matter which direction is north."
As they spoke, the master, his servant and the other two burst into laughter.
As they were laughing and joking, a little girl came in and reported that Miss Cui Er had arrived!
After hearing this, Yuan Ziyu hurriedly ordered the little maid to invite Cui Ruxun in.
When Yuan Ziyu came back, Cui Ruxu had already married. Now, Yuan Ziyu and Cui Ruxun were the only two people keeping each other company in the mansion.
"You'er!" Cui Ruxun walked in with her maid. Now that she and Yuan Zian were engaged, it was a foregone conclusion that she would be the future daughter-in-law of the Yuan family. Naturally, she was closer to Yuan Ziyu, her only sister.
"Sister-in-law!" Yuan Ziyu walked forward and took Cui Ruxun's arm with a smile, saying, "Did you have fun hanging out with brother?"
When Yuan Ziyu returned to Beijing, Cui Ruxun was not at home, but went to the farm with Yuan Zian and stayed there for a few days.
Although Cui Ruxun had a carefree personality, she was still an unmarried girl. When she heard Yuan Ziyu teasing her about her "sister-in-law", her face turned red: "Not yet... not yet!"
"In my heart, you're already my sister-in-law!" Yuan Ziyu smiled and poured Cui Ruxun a cup of tea. "Qingying just made some new pastries. Let her bring them to you to try."
"In that case, I will have a treat!" Cui Ruxun said with a smile.
Yuan Ziyu then ordered Qingying, "Go get some snacks, and bring some freshly made fruit tea for my second cousin to try."
"Yes!" Qingying responded with a smile and bowed.
"This is the talisman I got from the temple before my eldest sister's wedding. My eldest sister's is a talisman for fertility, and yours is a talisman for safety!" Cui Ruxun smiled and took out a talisman and handed it to Yuan Ziyu: "I see that you and the prince often go out to do things, so carrying this talisman with you can also ensure your safety!"
Yuan Ziyou took the amulet with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Cui Ruxun smiled and said, "We're family, why should we be so polite?"
"How is my cousin?" When Cui Ruxu returned from Yuan Ziyu, her family had already set off back to Zhanyang.
Because Cui Ruxu was married off from the General's Mansion and there was a flood, no one from the Cui family in Zhanyang came. But after all, the Cui family in Zhanyang was Cui Ruxu's maternal family, so after Cui Ruxu's wedding, the eldest branch of the Cui family set off back to Zhanyang.
"Everything else is fine, except that my grandmother is so..." Cui Ruxun curled her lips. "My aunt wrote to my mother, saying that my grandmother has been making a fuss for several days. She just said that we are disobedient and disrespectful to our elders. Haha, she just wants us to marry her nephew. She also wants to send people to the capital to capture my mother and me and bring us back to Zhanyang!"
Yuan Ziyu was stunned when he heard this. This elder was too much. His granddaughter was getting married, but he was still making such a fuss.
"Did the matter get resolved later?" Yuan Ziyu asked hurriedly.
Cui Ruxun laughed and said, "Speaking of this, I'm actually glad that my eldest sister married Zheng Xun. Oh, no, she married my eldest brother-in-law. I heard that my grandmother kept making a fuss, and in the end, my eldest brother-in-law smashed a table with one punch, which frightened my grandmother so much that she didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. I heard from my mother that my eldest aunt is now liking my eldest brother-in-law more and more!"
Yuan Ziyu laughed. This cousin's aunt really loved her cousin. Seeing that Zheng Xun was sincere to her cousin, she would naturally change her opinion of Zheng Xun.
"Then everyone is happy!"
"That's right!"
