After sitting down in the main hall, Li and the others still looked a little uncomfortable.

Li and Wei Lao San looked at each other, and Li said, "How about, his father, we should move out tomorrow. Although the house is not ready yet, it is still habitable. We can clean it up slowly."

Wei Lao San thought of the scene just now, nodded, and said, "Okay."

Liu Tangxi was a little anxious after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "Dad and Mom, don't worry about what happened just now. That house has not been occupied for a long time. Although it has been cleaned up, it needs to be left to air for some time, otherwise it will be bad for your health."

"We are not that particular about our health, as long as we can live here. If we stay here for too long, it will interfere with the third brother's business." Li said.

Liu Tangxi hated Madam Li even more.

Madam Cheng was a shrewd person. After observing for a few days, she also saw through the temperaments of these people. She said, "Master and Madam, don't worry about this matter. She is just a concubine. Our Madam gave her face and called her Madam."

Hearing this, Li and others looked over curiously.

Nanny Cheng immediately told Mrs. Li about her situation.

"Ah? How can it be like this? How can Mr. Huang be such an ungrateful person?" said Li.

Zhou was not so polite and spat, "Is this still a human being? He relied on his wife's family to get into high school, but abandoned his first wife and married the daughter of a high-ranking official. Neither of these two people is a good person."

Zhang also said: "This is too rude. We country folk rarely do such things. We will be criticized behind your back."

Madam Cheng added, "She is not the daughter of a high-ranking official. She is just the concubine of a fourth-rank official. She has always tried to curry favor with our lady, but she ignored her. So she found an opportunity to come and talk to our lady. Our lady is giving her face by talking to her today."

Wei Lao San glanced at Nanny Cheng.

Thinking that his son was only a sixth-rank official, he suddenly felt how insignificant his son was in the capital.

However, Nanny Cheng's words made them feel a lot more at ease.

As long as you don't cause trouble for your son or bring shame to him, that's all.

The Huai En Marquis's residence already knew that Wei Lao San and his party were coming, and Liu Tangxi had someone tell Yin yesterday. However, seeing how restrained Wei Lao San and his party were, she decided to wait a few days until Wei Lao San and his party were less restrained and gradually became familiar with the capital before letting the two families meet.

Otherwise, with Marquis Huai'en's temper, she was really afraid that Wei Lao San and others would be so scared when they saw him that they wouldn't be able to raise their heads.

It would be troublesome if I developed a fear of the capital and didn't want to stay here.

After a while, Wei Hanzhou came back.

Although Liu Tangxi and Nanny Cheng spoke very casually just now, Wei Lao San was still afraid of embarrassing his son, so he told him what had just happened.

Unexpectedly, the son's expression was even more indifferent than that of his daughter-in-law.

"Don't worry about it, Dad. This woman is always making a fuss. She is just a concubine. Don't pay any attention to her if you see her in the future."

After hearing what his son said, Wei Lao San felt relieved.

I came back late today, so Liu Tangxi didn't have time to cook, so dinner was made in the kitchen. However, it was still very rich.

There are six meat dishes, six vegetable dishes, and two soups.

One pork rib soup and one sweet soup.

Wei Lao San thought, yesterday was their first day here, so it would have been fine if they had eaten a lot, but why did they eat so much today?

The daughter-in-law treats them too well.

But they are not outsiders, not guests. There is no need to be so particular when a family is together. Just eat whatever you like.

"Third brother's wife, you don't have to cook so much in the future. It's enough for everyone to eat." Wei Third Brother suggested tactfully.

Liu Tangxi said, "Everyone is tired from working today, so we should eat more. Besides, we have to clean up the yard and till the soil tomorrow, which will be even more tiring."

Before Wei Lao San opened his mouth, Wei Hanzhou picked up a piece of meat for his father and said, "Dad, please eat more."

His son was hinting that he should not mention it, so Wei Lao San said nothing more.

Liu Tangxi knew what Wei Lao San was thinking, but she was rich now, and a lot of money.

She didn't have any big ambitions, nor did she have a hobby of spending money. This year, she made about 1,000 to 2,000 taels every month. Once she opened a few Tanghulu branches, she would probably make more. What's the point of saving so much money? You can't take it with you when you die.

Her biggest hobby now is eating and drinking, and basically all her money is spent on this.

All these dishes only cost a few hundred coins, but she was very happy to eat such delicious food.

Everyone enjoyed this meal very much.

After dinner, Wei Hanzhou first tested Bosheng on his homework and then went to the study to deal with some things.

When Wei Hanzhou returned to the room, Liu Tangxi had already finished taking a shower and was lying on the bed.

After Wei Hanzhou finished his bath, he turned off the light and lay down on the bed.

As soon as he lay down, Liu Tangxi crawled into his arms.

"Are you tired today?" Wei Hanzhou asked.

Liu Tangxi said: "Except for a little back pain, everything is fine."

Hearing this, Wei Hanzhou coughed, raised his hand, placed it on Liu Tangxi's waist and rubbed it.

At first, Liu Tangxi felt quite comfortable, but gradually, he felt that something seemed to have changed.

Realizing Wei Hanzhou's intention, Liu Tangxi suddenly opened his eyes and put his hand on Wei Hanzhou's hand.

"What are you doing? I'm telling you, my waist is still sore, don't do anything stupid."

"Um."

Speaking of this, Liu Tangxi suddenly thought of the way Li looked at her and asked, "By the way, did you tell mother something? She kept looking at my belly today."

"I didn't say anything." Wei Hanzhou had this attitude again.

"Humph, looking at you like this, you must have said something." Liu Tangxi said, "Hurry up and tell me what you said."

Liu Tangxi's attitude towards him is different from before, and she will never let him fool her.

Wei Hanzhou coughed lightly and said, "That is to say, my wife might be pregnant already, so I will take care of you more."

Wei Hanzhou said this because his mother had been nagging him last night and again this morning. Thinking that his wife would go with her to clean up the house today, and thinking about what he did last night, he was afraid of tiring his wife, so he said this.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Who is pregnant? I had my period last month, how could I be pregnant?" Liu Tangxi hit Wei Hanzhou.

Wei Hanzhou grabbed Liu Tangxi's wrist.

In the darkness, he looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Even if it wasn't there before, maybe it's there now."

Liu Tangxi curled his lips and said, "Humph, you are too confident in yourself."

Wei Hanzhou put his hand on Liu Tangxi's waist again and said, "Well, even if you don't have it now, you will have to work harder for your husband in the future."

"How shameless."

"Go to sleep."

The next morning, after breakfast, the group went to the house again.

It is March now and there is still time to plant something, so Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu plan to turn the land over as soon as possible and go to work after they have tidied up the house.

Liu Tangxi had nothing else to do, so he followed them.

After four or five days of this, the land was turned over and vegetables began to be planted.

That day, thinking that he hadn't been to the shop for a long time, Liu Tangxi did not go to the house, but went to the shop.

Fu Yao is now like Liu Tangxi's little follower. Wherever Liu Tangxi goes, she follows.

Shulan followed Zhang to the house, Zhongxing was too young, so he stayed with Li, and Bosheng read books in the house.

Liu Tangxi first visited the main store, then went to the branch on Yunxia Street, and finally went to the new store at the city gate.

This shop has just been opened for a few days and is currently having a promotion. The prices are cheaper than the other two shops.

There are already quite a few people queuing at the door, and it seems that there are more people than at the main store.

As soon as Liu Tangxi arrived, the shopkeeper came over to greet her and told her about recent affairs with a smile.

After hearing this, Liu Tangxi personally made a string of candied haws for Fu Yao, stringing two of each flavor on it.

The family has been making Tanghulu for several years, and Fuyao is already tired of eating it. Now she feels sour in her mouth when she sees Tanghulu.

However, since this string of candied haws was made by her favorite aunt, Fu Yao still took it.

However, after taking a bite, Fuyao's eyes widened and he said in amazement, "Wow, Auntie, this is so delicious. It's better than what grandpa and grandma made. So sweet!"

There is so much sugar on this candied haws. The ones made by my grandparents have very little sugar on them.

As he said this, Fu Yao took another bite.

"Hmm, why does it taste like green beans?" Fu Yao tasted the filling inside.

Liu Tangxi smiled and touched her hair, saying, "It's mung bean paste."

“So sweet.”

Seeing Fu Yao enjoying his meal, Liu Tangxi was also very happy.

Then, the second one was filled with glutinous rice. Fu Yao had never eaten this kind of glutinous rice, so Liu Tangxi explained it to her.

The two were talking when a man walked in from outside the door.

"Just now I felt that the plaque of this shop was familiar. I didn't expect that it was also opened by you." Princess Fuping said with a smile.

Liu Tangxi turned around and looked at Princess Fuping in her military uniform and said, "Yes. Where did the princess go?"

Princess Fuping said proudly: "I have been following my father to the military camp these days. It is so much fun there. Someone taught me archery, and also..."

As she was speaking, Princess Fuping spotted Fu Yao standing next to Liu Tangxi.

"Who is this? I have never seen her before."

Liu Tangxi looked at Fu Yao who was eating seriously, touched her hair and said, "This is my niece. Fu Yao, this is Princess Fuping."

"I have met the princess."

Princess Fuping looked at Liu Tangxi's hand on Fuyao's head and frowned slightly.

She had never been so affectionate to her before.

After taking a look, Princess Fuping turned around and looked at Liu Tangxi again: "Madam Wei, I will go to your house for dinner today."

Princess Fuping often ate with Liu Tangxi before, but today Liu Tangxi said, "I'm afraid it won't work today."

"Why?" The smile on Princess Fuping's face gradually disappeared.

"There are many people at home today, so it's not convenient to entertain the princess."

Princess Fuping pursed her lips and looked at Fu Yao who was standing beside her: "What about her? Is she having dinner with you?"

Liu Tangxi nodded and said, "She is my family, so naturally she will eat at home too."

After saying that, she saw that Princess Fuping looked unhappy, and thought that Wei Hanzhou now supported Prince Jian, and Princess Jian treated her well, so she said, "However, I can make something and send it to your house."

Hearing this, Princess Fuping was extremely angry. Just as she was about to say something, she saw that the candied haws in Fu Yao's hand were different from others. They were obviously specially made. Suddenly, she felt infinite grievance in her heart and her eyes turned red.

"No need." After saying that, Princess Fuping ran out.

Liu Tangxi frowned slightly.

Is there any difference between eating with her and not eating with her? Isn't it all cooked by her? Does it make a difference where you eat? Isn't it better to eat at home?

"Auntie, the princess seems to be angry." Fu Yao said, "Do you think she is angry with me?"

Liu Tangxi was slightly startled when she thought of the look in Princess Fuping's eyes just now.

Indeed, Princess Fuping looked at Fu Yao with a strange look.

However, Fu Yao had just arrived in the capital, and neither of them had ever met her, so how could they have offended her?

"No, you are so well behaved, everyone likes you."

Fu Yao nodded.

Then, Liu Tangxi introduced other flavors of candied haws to Fu Yao, and Fu Yao ate them with great joy.

Liu Tangxi asked Fu Yao to see if there were any dried fruits that he liked in the shop. He packed a lot of nuts and candied fruits and planned to take them back to share with Li and the others.

After visiting this shop, Liu Tangxi went to another jewelry shop.

She hadn't noticed the problem before, but she realized it after seeing Princess Fuping.

Although Princess Fuping was wearing men's clothing, she still wore some jewelry on her head.

In a few days, Fu Yao and Shu Lan will go to the Marquis' Mansion to study. If they don't have some decent clothes and jewelry, they will be laughed at.

Liu Tangxi didn’t buy anything too expensive, just a few ordinary but nice-looking pieces of jewelry.

After buying things for Fu Yao and Shu Lan, she also picked out some jewelry for Li.

Afterwards, she went to Xunfang Road's own clothing shop to measure Fuyao's size. She knew Shulan's size, after all, she had made clothes for them before, so she told the shopkeeper Shulan's size.

She asked the shopkeeper to make two sets of clothes for them.

Again, not particularly expensive, but decent nonetheless.

As for the rest of the family, they are gone.

Girls need to be raised in wealth, but boys don't need to be.

Finally, Liu Tangxi went to his own pen and ink shop.

This time she bought three portions, including one for Bosheng.

After the purchase, Liu Tangxi returned home with a cart full of stuff.

When Li saw that Liu Tangxi bought her jewelry worth several taels of silver, she felt extremely distressed and wanted her to return it.

"Mother, you will be visiting my mother's mansion in a few days, and you won't be able to do without some jewelry, so you can wear them."

Hearing this, Li thought of Madam Li who showed off in front of them that day, and accepted it.

On the other side, Princess Fuping returned to Prince Jin's Mansion with a gloomy look on her face.

Seeing her eyes slightly red, Princess Jian was really frightened. Her daughter had always been very strong and seldom cried.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Princess Fuping said nothing.

Princess Jian looked at the nanny standing next to Princess Fuping.

The nanny glanced at the princess and told Princess Jian what happened.

Princess Jian heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She had thought it was a big deal, but she had never expected it to be this serious.

"Mrs. Wei didn't bully you, why are you crying?"

Princess Fuping pouted and said, "I treat her as a friend, but she treats others better than me."

Princess Jian laughed and said, "That's her niece, her junior, so she should be nice to her. Besides, you are just a child, how can Madam Wei be your friend?"

After hearing this, Princess Fuping said nothing and still looked unhappy.

"You were wrong in the first place. You took the initiative to ask for dinner at someone's house, but you didn't ask about the situation at the other party's house. After being rejected, you gave her a cold shoulder. If you really regarded her as a friend, you shouldn't have done such a thing. And think about it the other way around. If something happened in our house, but your friend didn't understand you and gave you a cold shoulder, how would you feel?"

Princess Fuping pursed her lips and said nothing.

Liu Tangxi thought that she had been helping out at the house recently and hadn't cooked for Wei Hanzhou for a long time, so she decided to cook something delicious today.

Looking at the fine ham that Yin had sent over a few days ago, she had an idea.

She took the ham, cut it into large cubes with the skin on, stewed it in mead until it was cooked through, and garnished it with some lotus seeds.

The dish made is called honey ham.

In addition to this, she also made ham stew and steamed ham.

Afterwards, I made braised eggplant, stewed chicken with mushrooms, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, etc.

This ham is relatively rare and expensive, so Liu Tangxi made a lot of it. She divided the honey ham into three portions, one for herself to eat at home, one for someone to send to Yin, and the other for Prince Jin's palace.

This is the only rare dish given to Prince Qin’s palace.

In addition to a plate of honey ham, what was given to Yin also included some steamed ham, stewed ham, some vegetarian dishes, etc. in small bowls.

As for Wei Hanzhou, Liu Tangxi knew that he didn't like sweet things, so he gave him a few leftovers and served him a little bit of other dishes.

At noon, Wei Laosan and his friends came back to have lunch.

On the other hand, Wei Hanzhou knew that the food was sent by his wife as soon as he saw the food box. He also knew that the food was made by his wife herself because of the rich variety of dishes but small portions. He was very satisfied with the food. If Wei Hanzhou knew that his food was actually leftovers, he would not know how he would feel.

Princess Jian had just finished persuading her daughter when she heard from the doorman that Liu Tangxi had sent a dish to their house.

Princess Fuping's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Look, she's thinking about you. Go and apologize to her this afternoon."

"Yes." Princess Fuping finally gave in.

When Princess Jian saw that her daughter was well, she glanced at the nanny beside her. The nanny understood, went out to chat with the person who came to deliver the food for a while, and then came back.

"Princess, I have found out that it is Lord Wei's parents, brother, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces who have come from their hometown and are temporarily staying at Lord Wei's house. I heard that Madam Wei personally sent someone to pick them up in a carriage. Now they have bought a big house in the suburbs of Beijing and said they will move in in a few days."

Princess Jian nodded after hearing this and said, "Mrs. Wei has a good relationship with her family."

In the afternoon, after waking up, Liu Tangxi was feeding the fish in the small garden with Fu Yao and Shu Lan when she saw Princess Fuping coming.

Not only did he come, he also brought a lot of gifts, including some for Wei Lao San and Li, as well as some for his nephews and nieces.

It was obvious at first glance that this was Princess Qin's idea.

Princess Fuping was not a person who would never listen to reason, and after being convinced by Princess Jian, she was not so hostile towards Fuyao anymore.

The two were about the same age. Fuyao grew up in the countryside, and Princess Fuping was like a boy. They gradually came together and squatted there to feed the fish.

After about ten days, the house was almost ready, the vegetables were planted, the room was almost dried, the tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and bowls were all ready, and the family was waiting to move in.

Before moving in, taking advantage of Wei Hanzhou's day off, Wei Lao San and Li went to the Marquis Huai'en's Mansion accompanied by Liu Tangxi and Wei Hanzhou.

As expected, Marquis Huai En's attitude was not what Liu Tangxi had expected. He looked down on Wei Lao San and Li. After saying a few words, he turned his sleeves and left. After he left, he asked his servants to call Wei Hanzhou over.

Wei Lao San and Li were frightened by him.

This made Liu Tangxi very angry.

Regardless of anything else, Li was his daughter's savior, so why was she so rude?

Moreover, the two sides are in-laws, and Marquis Huai En really doesn't even want to save his face anymore.

"My Lord Marquis has something to do ahead, so please don't worry about it." Yin took over the conversation.

Afterwards, Yin's attitude towards them was very good, which made Wei Lao San and Li gradually relax.

After lunch, Liu Tangxi and others did not stay long and planned to leave.

Before getting in the car, Yin whispered to her daughter, "Your second sister can't marry the third prince. The legitimate daughter of the Weizhen Marquis family will become the third prince's consort."

Liu Tangxi looked at Yin in shock and asked, "Is this true?"

Yin showed a hint of pride on her face and said, "This time it is definitely true."

Liu Tangxi felt that this news was unreliable. This was impossible, Liu Yanan was the protagonist of the book, a person with the aura of a protagonist.

However, after returning home, she received accurate news from Wei Hanzhou.

"It's true. The emperor has already written an imperial edict. I estimate it will be issued in the next two days."
