Chapter 343 The Princess of the Dandy World Just Wants to Show Off 39
Mingnan read the letter front and back.
"After I was raised by Fengjun, they moved away from Huadu and returned to their ancestral home. They ignored me for so many years, and now they remember to recognize me. It's really insincere."
But she was still a little curious about how thick-skinned these people were, so she opened the letter and took a look.
Xie Wuyou was standing by and looked away with interest, not reading the letter from the Xu family.
But Mingnan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. He pinched his face with his backhand and turned him back, "Let's watch together."
Xie Wuyu's lips were pinched so hard that they pouted. He responded with a "Oh."
You won’t know the result until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.
Putting aside the entire page of concern and complaints, the second page begins by writing that Mingnan’s birthday is approaching and the author wants to come and congratulate her.
Mingnan was startled, "I'm going to celebrate my birthday?"
Xie Wuyu didn't know what to say for a moment, "You don't remember?"
Mingnan said awkwardly, "I've been too busy lately and forgot."
"So what day is it?"
Mingnan thought for a moment and said, "The eighth day of next month."
It is April now, and the eighth day of next month will be the eighth day of May.
Xie Wu Yu seemed to be thinking about something, and then he looked at the letter again and said, "They said they will leave soon and arrive in about five or six days, so I have to have someone clean up the guest room in advance. They have come all the way here, and it's not good to let them stay in the hotel. If it gets out, the censors will probably accuse you of being cold-blooded and heartless again."
"Which yard is better to place them in?"
Mingnan sneered, "We'll arrange for them to stay in whichever courtyard is far away. We've done our best by not letting them stay in the inn. The farther they are, the better it is for them to exercise more."
Xie Wu Yu naturally had no objection. Not to mention that he had no feelings for the Xu family at all, after listening to Ming Nan's stories about the past, he was only left with dissatisfaction towards the Xu family.
When he returned, he immediately called Zhou Xingzhi and asked her to take people to clean up the farthest courtyard in the palace and decorate it as luxuriously as possible.
Anyway, no matter how gorgeous the things are, they belong to the palace. They are displayed for the Xu family to see and entertain them, which is a good way to save face so that they will not be able to find any reason to complain.
What's wrong with being a little further away? What we give you are the best.
Two days before Mingnan's birthday, the Xu family arrived as expected.
Not only the old lady of the Xu family came, but also her daughter and son-in-law, son and daughter-in-law, that is, Mingnan's aunt and uncle and second uncle and second aunt, and two young men from the Xu family's side branch, one named Xu Ting and the other named Xu Zhi, both of them were in their twenties.
…
At that time, Xie Wuyu was busy in the kitchen. Guanqi rushed in and shouted, "Mr. Wang, something bad has happened! It's terrible!"
Xie Wuyu's hand trembled, and the dough in his hand was crumpled into a ball and fell into the boiling water.
Xie Wuyu: "..."
The chef who was instructing him was: "..."
The masters who were busy at the back: "..."
They both turned their heads to look at Guanqi.
Guanqi stepped over the threshold and met the complex gazes of the crowd. His steps paused involuntarily. He had just run too fast and now he stopped too suddenly. His left foot tripped over his right foot and he almost fell flat on his face.
He managed to stand steady by holding onto the door frame and smiled awkwardly, "Everyone is here."
Xie Wuyu closed his eyes, turned to the chef and said, "That's all for today. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Thank you for taking care of this."
"Hey, Mr. Wang, take care."
Xie Wu Yu walked leisurely to Guan Qi's side, grabbed his wrist with lightning speed, and pulled this troublesome thing out of the door.
Guan Qi knew that he had been rash and did not dare to say a word. He just followed Xie Wu Yu obediently like a quail.
Xie Wuyu pulled him to the corner and then let go of his hand. "Tell me, what happened that made you scream like a ghost?"
Upon hearing this, Guanqi looked around and whispered, "I was tending to the flowers and plants in the front yard just now, and the king was reading on the couch in front of the window, and then the old lady of the Xu family came over with her two young husbands."
"Biqing and Danzhu wanted to report it, but the old lady wouldn't let them. She said they were family, so why report it?"
Guan Qi curled his lips and said, "I don't know who gave them the courage."
"Got in?" Xie Wuyu patted the flour off his hands.
Guanqi: “Ah?”
"I say, the old lady and the two husbands went in?"
"Yes." Guanqi said anxiously, "That's why I came to find the master. You should go back and take a look. I'm afraid that the old lady will take advantage of her age and the king will be unable to refuse her and keep her. What should I do?"
Xie Wuyou turned around to leave, but stopped after taking two steps.
Guanqi almost bumped into his back and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with the master?"
Xie Wu Yu shook his head, turned around and walked back, saying, "No hurry, the Queen must be tired and thirsty from reading at this hour, I'll go make her some tea."
"Ah? It's already so late, and you're still making tea?" Guan Qi stamped his feet anxiously, "Master, Master!"
Xie Wuyou is not in a hurry at all.
He knew what was going on.
Mingnan not only made a promise in front of him, but also made up her mind in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials to no longer indulge in male beauty. It has only been a short time, if she keeps him, wouldn't that be contradicting herself?
By then, let alone him, all the civil and military officials will be able to drown her with just a spit from them.
Both publicly and privately, Mingnan would never do such a foolish thing.
What's the hurry for him?
But he was indeed curious about what kind of people the Xu family sent that made them think Mingnan would break his rules for them?
…
Mingnan was also very curious.
She was sitting in the house, while her relatives came from heaven.
I was reading a book when an old lady rushed in, holding a chicken in her left hand... no, in her left hand, a reserved, elegant and gentle young man, and in her right hand, a cold, aloof and temperamental husband.
It confused her.
This is Prince Rong's Mansion, not Yingchun Tower, right?
205: [No, but the other party obviously wants to whore you. ]
Mingnan: “…”
She sat up straighter. Biqing and Danzhu came in hurriedly from outside and bowed, saying, "Old Madam Xu insisted on coming in. We servants couldn't stop her. Please punish her, my Lord..."
"Oh, what's there to punish?" Old Mrs. Xu was not shy at all. She rushed to the bedside and stretched out her hands to hug Mingnan, muttering vigorously: "My Nan'er, I finally see you. You don't know how I have been living these years!"
As the old lady spoke, it was obvious that she was moved. Her eyes turned red and she burst into tears.
Mingnan immediately hid inside to prevent her tears from falling on his clothes.
Old Mrs. Xu: “…”
The two husbands behind: "..."
Danzhu said dissatisfiedly: "Old Madam Xu, even if you are the grandmother of the king, you can't ignore the rules. This is the Rong Palace, not your Xu family. You are committing insubordination."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu's face changed. She retracted her hand awkwardly and stood up.
The two husbands were quite perceptive and stepped forward to help her. They said with more delicate looks, "We were rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty. But my grandmother was a little out of control because she missed you so much. Please don't blame her, Your Majesty."
The one next to him said in a deep voice with a cold face: "Lord, no matter what, the old lady is still your grandmother. How can you let two maids order her around?"
