Chapter 487: The First Conflict



Dongfang Run really started writing the letter, and after he finished, he handed it to Lou Wanyue. Lou Wanyue saw that his handwriting was slightly different from before, but basically the same. The content of the letter was just a simple greeting, and he also explained some situations. He had just married a wife and was pregnant. He explained all these. After reading it, Lou Wanyue smiled and nodded: "Very good, I will ask someone to give it to Lian Fu Ma and ask him to take it out of the city. When there is a chance, our family will meet again."

"As you wish." Dongfang Run said as he stood up. "By the way, I heard that you sent a lot of things to Zhong Min'er... Thank you for your help."

Lou Wanyue shook her head: "It's not a problem... After all, she has no experience and is quite nervous. The prince should spend more time with her."

"You... are really virtuous." Lou Wanyue didn't know what Dongfang Run meant by this. She thought about it for an afternoon and finally felt that maybe he was just simply sighing.

If you talk about irony, probably not.

If it was really ironic, then she would feel better.

At least he still cares about himself.

West courtyard.

Zhong Min'er finally couldn't hold on any longer and came to the study room with her big belly.

When Dongfang Run saw that it was her, he frowned slightly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell today?"

"No, I feel so comfortable today, so I came to see what you need me to do, my husband. Although my body is not very agile, I still have energy and spirit." Zhong Min'er said with a smile.

Dongfang Run, who had never been so calm, became a little silly when he saw her smile. He stretched out his hand, and Zhong Min'er held his hand obediently and sat on his lap: "I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time. You don't come to see me, don't you worry about me? I am just silly, but I am worried about you. I am afraid that you are not used to the food here. I used to take care of it. Although I have servants now, I don't know if your taste habits have changed."

"Not bad." Dongfang Run still tilted his head to look at her face. When he saw her smile, he smiled too. He didn't know why, but he liked to see her smiling. He always felt that when she smiled, it would touch a nerve in his heart.

When Zhong Min'er returned home in the afternoon, she felt much better.

She sat under the camellia tree in the yard, looking at the big camellia, she was lost in thought: "Xiaoqiao, how old do you think this tree is?"

"I have never seen such a tall camellia tree. It must be at least a hundred or eighty years old." Xiaoqiao tilted her head.

"Hmph, so what if it's a hundred or eighty years? Aren't you still providing me with shade now?" Zhong Min'er smiled proudly and charmingly.

She looked at the flower tree, as if that tree was Lou Wanyue.

Even if he comes to Prince Shou’s Mansion first, doesn’t he still have to serve me?

And it was obvious that Dongfang Run liked herself instead of her. The only thing that could keep Dongfang Run's attention was the child Dongfang Xin.

Thinking of this, a flash of cruelty suddenly flashed across Zhong Min'er's eyes.

She suddenly asked, "Who usually watches over Dongfang Xin?"

Xiaoqiao answered without thinking, "They are the people in the East Courtyard."

"So where do they go to play every day? Is it a fixed place?"

"My lady, I didn't notice it, but most of the time they went to the garden to play." Xiaoqiao said.

Zhong Min'er suddenly said, "Take a message back now. I miss the little flower at home. Ask your parents to ask someone to bring it to the capital someday."

"Miss, Xiaohua is so big, as big as a calf. It may not be convenient to bring it to the Shou Palace. If it bites or scares people again, it will be bad." Xiaoqiao waved her hands hurriedly. "Besides, Xiaohua can't leave Dahua. Once she leaves, she will scream all night and make people restless. We can't send both dogs here, right? Besides, my son-in-law doesn't like dogs. When he was at our house, he always avoided them. But Miss likes them, so my son-in-law can't do anything. At present, there are no pets in the Shou Palace. I guess this is also the tradition."

"I just said one sentence, and you said so much to stop me. I was just saying it." Zhong Min'er suddenly thought of a problem. If the dog was brought here, and something really happened, it would definitely be blamed on her. Even if she caused the accident on purpose, even if it was an accident, Dongfang Run would blame herself.

So my idea just now was really stupid.

After all, it was Xiaoqiao who reminded him.

So she laughed and scolded again: "You are afraid that Xiaohua and the others will come. You will have more work to do, right?"

"That's not the case. If you say so, you are really blaming me wrongly." Xiaoqiao hurriedly explained.

Zhong Min'er waved her hand, telling her to stop talking: "Let's go for a walk in the garden too."

Xiaoqiao helped her walk out, and when they approached the garden, they heard Dongfang Xin's cheerful laughter. When they got closer, they found that the little guy was running around everywhere, followed by two maids. Zhong Min'er walked over, sat at the stone table next to them, watching them play, with a kind smile on her face.

Dongfang Xin ran up to her and looked at her curiously: "Who are you? Are you trying to steal my father's favor?"

He still remembered the situation in Zhong's house. But the question was so direct that Zhong Min'er was shocked. This child, so young, could see things so clearly? Or was it taught by adults?

That Lou Wanyue is really abominable. She looks like a lady from a noble family on the outside, but I don’t know what she says about herself behind her back.

This little son is her tool.

Thinking of this, she smiled: "Xin'er, what do you think, am I trying to steal your father?"

The maids behind him were very worried and wanted to say something, but they couldn't. They just smiled and let Dongfang Xin leave with them.

Dongfang Xin shook her head: "I said yes, you are stealing my father, you are so annoying, go away..."

His voice was very clear and full of confidence. Zhong Min'er looked at him, shook her head, and suddenly started crying, her voice getting louder and louder. She wiped her tears and looked at Xiaoqiao: "We can't stay here as master and servant, right? I'm going to find Dongfang Run..."

He left crying while saying this.

When they arrived at the study, Lou Wanyue was there too. She was telling Dongfang Run about Lian Muhan inviting them to his house. As soon as Zhong Miner entered the house, she burst into tears: "My husband, I..."

She hesitated to speak.

"What's going on?" Dongfang Run was busy, so he didn't pay much attention.

"My dear son-in-law, our young lady just met the young master in the garden. The master said that the young lady came to steal his father and that she was annoying and asked her to go away..." Xiaoqiao did not add fuel to the fire but said directly.

Lou Wanyue was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Before she could speak, Dongfang Run said, "Kid, what do you know? It's just a joke, but you took it seriously. It's really ridiculous."

Zhong Min'er raised her head and said, "Yes, that's why I feel sad because I think a child wouldn't say such a thing. Otherwise, why would I argue with a child?"

When Lou Wanyue heard this, she said calmly, "My Lord, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

She left without waiting for his consent.

Does she still need to explain anything at this time?

She found it boring.

Lou Wanyue returned to the East Courtyard. Dongfang Xin seemed to know that he had caused trouble and was a little depressed. When he saw Lou Wanyue, he did not rush over as usual, but hid behind her. Lou Wanyue said, "Xin'er, come here."

Xin'er said aggrievedly: "Mother..."

"Did you say something wrong?" Lou Wanyue frowned.

Dongfang Xin pouted, tears welled up in her eyes: "Mother..."

"Who taught you those words?" Lou Wanyue asked coldly. As she said this, her eyes swept over the two maids behind Dongfang Xin. The little maid immediately knelt on the ground when she saw them.

"Princess, we never said anything. Or was it that the young master heard it when we were chatting? It's all our fault. Please punish us. Don't scold the young master. He is still a child..." said one of them.

Lou Wanyue said, "Stand up. I have said today that you are not allowed to talk about Madam Zhong behind her back. If I hear you, you know the consequences."

The two little maids responded immediately.

Dongfang Xin's mouth was pouting the whole time. Seeing that Lou Wanyue didn't scold him but scolded the maid instead, he couldn't help feeling guilty. He tugged at the hem of Lou Wanyue's skirt and started crying: "Mother, mother, don't scold me...Xin'er, be good..."

He didn't cry at first, but the more he talked the more aggrieved he felt, and then he cried louder and louder. Lou Wanyue looked at him. In these three years, she had never criticized him so harshly, and she felt distressed.

The nanny knelt on the ground: "Madam, the child is young and naive. I think no one will blame me for my unintentional words..."

"Our unintentional words may sound intentional to others. So, everyone remember, from today on, I cannot listen to anyone talking about right or wrong. The prince has just returned home, so let him calm down." Lou Wanyue was really angry. She had never been questioned about anything. Her good upbringing made her disdain those methods and made her disdain jealousy.

Dongfang Run's voice rang out: "It's hard for you..."

When Dongfang Xin saw that it was her father, she cried even more aggrievedly and threw herself into Dongfang Run's arms. She never looked up and kept crying. Dongfang Run frowned. Lou Wanyue came forward and wanted to take Xin'er back, but Xin'er ignored her and just felt aggrieved. Lou Wanyue smiled bitterly and said, "I spoiled the child..."

"He's young, don't blame him." Dongfang Run patted Dongfang Xin's back, "I know you didn't mean it, right? If you don't like Er Niang, you don't have to see her anymore, but you're not allowed to say bad things about her, understand?"

Dongfang Xin nodded, with a tear on her long eyelashes, looking both obedient and pitiful...

West courtyard.

Zhong Min'er read the letter, and the expression on her face changed again and again. Finally, she placed the letter on the candlelight and watched the blue flame slowly devour the letter. She threw it away, and the remaining flames continued to burn in the copper basin. Finally, everything was left with ashes, and there were still some sparks flickering. Her eyes stayed there, as if she was stunned.
