Chapter 771 773. Each Has His Own Affairs
Hou Tianer asked Cui'er to leave and left Xi'er alone. "Who has Cui'er been close to these days?"
Xier: "...I will ask someone to find out right away."
Hou Tianer frowned, "..."
"Girl, actually what Cui'er said makes sense. Our current position is still a little off.
You see, although there is another door here, you still have to go around a long circle to get to the street.
Before the master was pregnant, walking was considered exercise, but now that the master is pregnant, it is a bit inconvenient. "
Hou Tianer's face turned cold, "Have you forgotten that we are just guests here now?
Although I call Madam Gu "sister-in-law", there is still a layer of distance between us. We have a big courtyard to live in now, so how can I ask for so much?
Don't forget, your master and I are not the masters of this house after all.
Although I know you are sincere for me, there are some words I don’t want to hear again, otherwise I won’t dare to keep you around me anymore.”
Xier's face turned pale, "I know."
Hou Tianer couldn't bear to look at the account book anymore, so he talked to his personal maid, "Do you think it's more comfortable for us to stay in the Gu Mansion or in the Hou Family?"
"Of course it's comfortable to stay in the ancient mansion," There are no elders to pressure us here, and we don't have to visit our parents every morning and evening.
Moreover, their small courtyard is another household when the door is closed. They only have to serve two masters, which is much easier than the complicated Hou family.
The girl is no longer as dull as before after getting married, and she looks much more lively.
"This is also the most comfortable year I have ever had since I was a child," Hou Tianer didn't even want to think about the past. Now her husband is considerate and her sister-in-law takes care of her. When she goes out now, others can only envy her.
"I don't want anyone to destroy this tranquility. If you think my temple is too small, I can send you back."
As his dowry maid, Hou Tianer knew that if he sent her back, it would definitely cause gossip.
Compared to the life she wants, she has to be selfish for once.
Xier immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life and I will never go anywhere."
Hou Tianer, "Then you have to understand clearly that I don't need anyone who talks too much around me."
After being with Jin Qianqian for nearly a year, Hou Tianer has learned a lot. Compared with when she was a girl, her aura has changed drastically.
Xier quickly expressed her loyalty, "I will be more careful in what I say and do."
Hou Tianer, "Go down, and tell the people below what I mean. If anyone commits the same mistake again, don't come to me to ask for mercy."
"yes."

Cen Mansion
Cen Gaosong finished his meal with his wife and daughter. This time he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he had tea served and sent all the servants away.
From his attitude, Cen Zhang knew that he had something to say.
Cen Yueqin didn't dare to delay her parents' conversation, "Dad, Mom, I haven't finished embroidering my handkerchief yet, I'll go back first."
Just as Cen Yueqin was about to leave, Cen Gaosong stopped her and said, "Don't leave yet. This matter has something to do with you. Now that you are an adult, Dad also wants to hear your opinion."
Cen Yueqin's cheeks flushed. The only thing that had anything to do with her was her marriage.
Since her father had spoken, she naturally stood by and listened.
"If there is anything, why don't we discuss it among ourselves first? It's not appropriate for the child to be here." Cen Zhang snorted and winked at Cen Yueqin.
"She really has to be present for this," Cen Gaosong put the teacup on the table and said to his daughter, "Yueqin, don't stand there, sit down and let's talk it over.
I know you have the right idea, and now that we are alone here, we should talk about some things openly."
Cen Zhangshi's Zhang Guihong then gave up and motioned her daughter to sit next to her.
"Your marriage should have been arranged by your mother, but you have looked at many options this year but have not been able to settle on any.
You are the legitimate daughter of my Cen family, and many people have been asking me about you.
Tell me, what are your requirements for your marriage?"
Zhang Guihong, "Master, how can you say this in front of the children?
Besides, marriage is decided by parents, what can a girl like her know? If you think there is a suitable one, we can discuss it carefully, and when we are ready, we can tell the child. "
Cen Gaosong slammed the table and said, "Don't try to fool me with that. I know you look down on the people here.
But we have to be self-aware. You want to marry your daughter off to a wealthy family, so don't I want her to live a good life?
I have accumulated my current position bit by bit, and I will not trade my daughter for benefits."
Zhang Guihong lowered her head, but didn't take these words seriously.
If she didn't arrange her daughter's marriage as soon as possible, when Mu Xianglan's two boys grew up, her daughter might become someone else's stepping stone.
"If you want to wait a few years, then don't take her out to the banquet. She is young now, so she should build up her reputation well. I will help her find a good family when the time comes."
Cen Gaosong turned his head and looked at Cen Yueqin again, "Dad knows that although you are young, you have a righteous mind. Sometimes your mother's ideas are a bit left-wing, so don't let her do what she wants."
"Huh, why am I left-handed?
It is obviously you who is being unfair. If I don’t fight for it myself, I won’t have a place to stand in this backyard.”
Cen Gaosong said coldly, "Nonsense, now you have the final say in the whole mansion. You are the eldest wife, so you should be tolerant and not be harsh to your children. After all, they call you mother."
"Mother?" Zhang Guihong raised the corner of her mouth sarcastically, "It seems that the mother they referred to before was someone else. Although they call me mother these days, how much respect do they have for me in their hearts?
They want to pass off a concubine's son as the legitimate heir, but it is simply impossible in this lifetime.
I guess the master doesn't know yet, you have been away all these years, and none of the illegitimate sons and daughters you gave birth to have been reported to the clan.
As the mistress of this mansion, I have already written a letter back, and the clan leader has personally registered all the children in the family in the family tree."
If Cen Gaosong had not spoken so righteously today, with his legitimate daughter in mind, she would not have wanted to reveal the matter so quickly and let certain people dream for a while longer.
Cen Gaosong's face changed, "You are kidding me, why didn't you discuss such a big thing with me?"
"What is there to discuss? They are just a few illegitimate children.
As for what you mentioned to me before, about having a legitimate son registered in my name, I have already made a decision.
I wonder if Grandpa still remembers Aunt Liu who has been serving me all along?"
"Why are you talking about her?" Cen Gaosong certainly had an impression of her. "Didn't she die young?"
"Has the master also forgotten about the second son she gave birth to?" Zhang Guihong stared at Cen Gaosong, and her heart grew colder when she saw the unnatural look on his face.
