Chapter 344 The Princess Wants Only to Show Off 40

Danzhu wanted to say something, but Mingnan winked at them and waved his hand, and Biqing pulled Danzhu out.

This is what it means to not want to be held accountable.

The cold and handsome man's expression changed slightly, and he hesitated to speak.

Mingnan sat up straight, smoothed his sleeves slowly, and said nothing, but the invisible pressure dissipated instantly.

Old Mrs. Xu's crying gradually weakened. She held the handkerchief and secretly glanced at Mingnan.

Unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed by Mingnan.

Old Mrs. Xu was startled. Ming Nanchong curled his lips at her. The face that looked so much like Xu Siyuan made her dazed for a moment.

Mingnan glanced at the two husbands and asked softly, "Why? The old lady is half my elder, so it's okay for her not to kneel. But what are the two of you? Just don't bow, but you are lecturing me? Who taught you the rules?"

When she spoke the last sentence, her tone suddenly became stern. The two husbands were startled and knelt down quickly.

Old Mrs. Xu's face turned green instantly. Just as she was about to speak, a clear and smiling voice suddenly came from outside.

"Who has displeased our Lord? Why is he so angry?"

Several people in the room turned their heads to look.

Then a tall and handsome man in a red robe walked in leisurely.

As he approached, the whole room became brighter.

In his hand he held a tray on which was placed a pink porcelain cup with a wreath of flowers pattern, which looked extremely delicate and beautiful.

Old Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes but didn't say anything.

Xie Wuyu walked straight to the couch without looking around, put the teacup in front of Mingnan, and said softly, "You must be tired after reading for the whole morning. Have some tea to wake you up."

After saying that, he sat down opposite, put the bookmark on the book Mingnan had been reading aside, and picked up a small fan with tassels to fan Mingnan gently.

Mingnan's expression softened immediately, and he glanced at him, "Thank you, Mr. Lao."

Old Mrs. Xu pressed her lips into a straight line. She felt unhappy, but couldn't show it, so she glanced at the two men.

The husband immediately turned to Xie Wuyu and said, "Xu Zhi (Xu Ting) pays respects to the Wang Fu."

Xie Wuyu then glanced at them with his eyes downcast, and after a while, he curled his lips and said, "You are so pretty. It seems that the soil and water in South City are good for people."

Old Madam Xu followed suit and said, "After all, she is still not as elegant and graceful as Madam Wang."

"No need to be polite. It's not proper to kneel all the time. It makes it seem like the king is mistreating you. So which of these two sons of the Xu family are they?"

Xie Wu Yu looked at her with a smile, his tone gentle, as if he was chatting casually.

Old Madam Xu's expression suddenly changed, "This... they are not legitimate sons."

Xu Zhi and Xu Ting had just stood up when they heard this, and their expressions looked a little embarrassed.

Xu Zhi was able to keep his composure, bowed his head slightly, and said nothing. But Xu Ting said with a stern face, "I am from the Xu family's side branch, not the main family's legitimate son. Madam Wang has misunderstood."

"So that's how it is." Xie Wuyu smiled slightly.

Seeing him like this, the three thought he had a good temper and were about to try to get close to him, but they didn't expect Xie Wuyu to easily reveal their true colors -

"Since he is not the master's legitimate son, what is the point of bringing him here?"

Old Mrs. Xu blushed and stared at him in disbelief.

Even if most people knew about this kind of thing, they would not ask directly because both parties had to save face.

How can we get along with each other in the future if he exposes it directly like this?

Xu Zhi and Xu Ting felt embarrassed for a moment. Xu Ting gritted his teeth and looked at Mingnan, "Lord Wang, please say something."

Mingnan raised his eyebrows, "My husband and I are one, so what he asked is what I want to know."

She slowly scanned the three people, finally stopping at Old Lady Xu.

Before she could say anything, Old Lady Xu suddenly lifted up her skirt and knelt down straight.

Mingnan paused in drinking tea and exchanged glances with Xie Wuyu.

Is this something they plan to force in after being exposed?

Mingnan asked knowingly, "What are you doing, old lady? You are so old, if you kneel down, it will be my fault. Get up quickly."

Xie Wuyu also asked: "What are you two doing standing there?"

Xu Zhi and Xu Ting looked at each other, and Old Lady Xu shook her head, "You two should kneel down too."

"yes."

The two of them knelt behind Old Lady Xu, lowering their heads, looking weak and pitiful.

"Since the prince has asked, I will risk my dignity and speak frankly."

Old Madam Xu stared at Mingnan with her eyes piercing, and said tremblingly, "Lord, you have actually been blaming us in your heart all these years, right? Blaming us for not caring about you and leaving you alone in that cold palace."

Mingnan put down the teacup, smiled meaningfully, but said nothing.

Mrs. Xu was sure that she was holding a grudge against this matter, and hurriedly explained: "But we have no choice!"

She burst into tears, "It's not that we didn't want to stay and support the king, but Feng Jun didn't allow us to get close to you, and the gifts we sent during the holidays never reached you. You were still young at that time and didn't understand anything, so naturally you don't remember these things."

"Later, we had no choice but to move back to our homeland, but we always thought of you in our hearts..."

Old Mrs. Xu was still chattering on, from Mingnan to Xu Siyuan, and then from Xu Siyuan back to Mingnan, repeating the same things over and over again.

To sum it up, it’s just three sentences: “We’ve always been thinking about you and your father,” “We have our own difficulties,” and “Please understand us.”

Xie Wuyu lowered his eyes to hide the annoyance in them.

He suddenly dropped the fan in his hand, and it fell on the table with a loud noise.

The three people kneeling on the ground were startled. Old Mrs. Xu tried to hold back the sound, but couldn't hold it back and burped violently.

Mingnan quickly turned his head and covered his mouth as if unintentionally.

Old Madam Xu's face turned even redder with anger. She suppressed her anger and looked at Xie Wuyu, "I wonder if Mr. Wang has any advice for me?"

"Give me some advice?" Xie Wuyu smiled. "That's what you asked for, but I'm being disrespectful. I can only give you some advice."

He sat on the edge of the couch, one hand on his legs and the other on the low stool, his posture upright, his brows clear and his demeanor dignified.

That kind of nobility is the result of growing up in a luxurious environment, day by day and month by month.

It's natural and makes people feel miserable.

"Old lady, you keep saying that you are thinking about our Lord and father, but what are you thinking about?"

"You're talking about caring for me, but you've been ignoring me for so many years, and now you're coming to me as soon as I get a chance to live?"

"Or are you eager to pull the strings and build bridges as soon as you get here, trying to push people into other people's backyards without even asking?"

Xie Wuyu glanced at Xu Zhi and Xu Ting and sneered, "You two from the side branches of the Xu family, I'm giving you face by calling you young masters, do you really think you are so rich and noble?"

Xu Ting's eyes widened in surprise, "You——"

Xu Zhi couldn't bear it any longer, his eyes were slightly red, and he raised his face stubbornly, "Wang Fu, although we are not as noble as you, we will not allow ourselves to be humiliated!"

Xie Wu Yu ignored them and his eyes fell on Old Lady Xu again.
