Chapter 484: To please Xin An by playing the zither
"When the eldest young lady returned home, she brought back a wooden box. I just got the news. In addition to the music sheet, there was also an ornament in the box. It was a yellow jade peony, and it was bigger than the one you had."
In Qiushi Courtyard, Nanfeng informed Xin An of Tao Yiran's whereabouts today, and said, "The eldest young lady is in a good mood."
Xin An found it interesting. One was best at flirting with women, and the other was best at seducing men. The two of them got together and chatted for an entire afternoon. The fighting between the two masters was truly extraordinary.
"Keep watching, and try to be careful not to get discovered."
"yes."
The south wind soon retreated. Xin An looked at the fish in the water tank with great interest and listened to the crying of a baby coming from next door. Cuiping came forward and said that Tao Yiran had just returned the slave to Aunt Yu. Aunt Yu came to Chunhua Courtyard to pick him up and kowtowed to Tao Yiran three times.
"Aunt Liu reprimanded her, saying that our little boy was delicate and should not leave the courtyard before he was three years old. If our little boy got sick again, Aunt Yu would be held responsible."
Tao Yiran is very stupid, but Aunt Liu knows what to do. Cuiping is hesitant to speak. In her opinion, Aunt Liu should be eliminated first. Without Aunt Liu, Tao Yiran will have no restraints and minions, and she can kill herself.
But she was not prepared to speak until she knew exactly what the Second Young Master's wife was planning.
In the front yard, Tang Mo was drinking bird's nest from a bowl. After finishing, he said that he would rather have a bowl of shredded chicken noodles. He was not used to drinking this stuff, so he could only rinse his mouth. He was still hungry, so he reached out to take the snacks he brought back.
"Mother, do you know where my sister-in-law went today?"
Wang was slightly stunned, "What's wrong?"
Tang Mo said: "Someone is following my sister-in-law. Does mother know who it is?"
Wang immediately understood what he meant and glared at him. "If you have something to say, just ask it politely. Why are you beating around the bush in front of your mother?"
Tang Mo understood everything immediately and told Xin An that he and Tao Yiran had sent people to follow them. "They said there was another person from another party. I guess they were from my mother."
Wang smiled and said, "She is a person who has no interest in anything except men and playing the piano. Now she is frequently in and out of the mansion. As the mistress of the mansion, your mother must know her movements."
"If nothing else, if the reputation of this mansion is ruined by her, what's the point of you coming here?"
Tang Mo stood up and bowed, "Mother is extremely wise."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Wang took out a stack of papers from the cupboard and said, "These are what mother found out. Take them and burn them after you have read them."
"Luckily you didn't marry this."
What a joke! Born in the wrong place, she deserves to be sent to a brothel to display her talents.
Tang Mo took a quick look. All the names written on it were those people that Tao Yiran had hooked up with. Tang Mo and Xin An had already known all this, but he didn't say anything. He just put it away and prepared to go back to Qiushi Courtyard. Wang asked him to take the snacks away. Tang Mo smiled and said that he had brought some for Xin An. After the people left, Wang shook her head and said, "This kid, he said he brought snacks for me, but he ate most of them himself."
"The Second Young Master has been tired all day. I think he was very hungry. Normally, the Second Young Master would never eat these sweet snacks."
Wang sighed again, "I originally thought that he was a failure, but at least he was living a comfortable life. Now he is successful, and look how tired he is. He has lost a lot of weight."
"It's stronger."
Tang Mo was raised by Ping Qiu, and he felt very distressed. "The second young master has changed since he got married. He is more energetic and full of vigor every day. He also understands how difficult it is for Madam. Whenever he comes back from work early, he will come to Madam's place to sit and chat. He is very filial."
"You must be well. There will be many blessings in the future."
Wang smiled contentedly, picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite, then put it down with disdain, "Withdraw our people."
Since her son and daughter-in-law have made their own rules, she doesn't need to worry too much and just needs to keep an eye on Tang Gang and the old lady.
In Chunhua Courtyard, Aunt Liu looked at the topaz peony on the table and was terrified. What did the Prince of Nanguang mean by this? Was he buying such a valuable thing just because he admired the old marquis? "Young Madam, this topaz peony looks extremely valuable. How should I return the gift?"
Tao Yiran's eyes were filled with joy that she could not hide. When she first entered the mansion, she fell in love with the old lady's topaz peony at first sight. Tang Rong personally promised to send it to her, but his words were like the wind, disappearing without a trace.
Today, she just thought about this and looked at the yellow jade peony twice more. When she left, the prince gave it to her, saying that a beautiful peony should be paired with a beautiful woman, and a jade peony has withstood all wind and rain without losing its shape. She hoped that she could also have a youthful appearance like this jade peony.
"We'll talk about it later when we have a suitable return gift. It's not convenient to return the gift in a high-profile manner, or the Princess will misunderstand."
So you know that he has a family?
Aunt Liu gritted her teeth, and Tao Yiran slowly stood up, "Set the table."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"By the way, on the fifteenth day after tomorrow, I will go to Nandu Temple to pray for the prince. Please prepare."
"This topaz peony is on the dressing table."
Aunt Liu's face was solemn. Although Tao Yiran liked to tease men in the past, those men were not worth much. But this time it was the Prince of Nanguan, who was famous for his romanticism, and he offered such a valuable item at once. This was all conditional. What could she give in return?
The next morning, Xin An heard the beautiful piano music again. She was in a good mood and stood in the yard to listen to the entire piece. She clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law's piano skills are really extraordinary. I feel better after listening to it."
“It would be nice if I could listen to it every day.”
Her voice was loud enough for the maids in the yard to hear, and then they fed the fish with great interest.
Her words soon reached Tao Yiran's ears, and a flattering maid immediately said, "The young lady's piano playing is not something that everyone can hear. This is the blessing of the second young lady."
Tao Yiran was in a good mood. She wanted to play the piano but was worried that Wang would be unhappy and scold her. She was even more worried that Xin An would go and complain. Now that Xin An liked it, Wang should not say anything.
"Mother sent me some small things. I'll pick two and give them to my younger brother and sister."
This is to play the zither freely and at the cost of lowering one's status to please Xin An. Aunt Liu was shouting in her heart. Now she can only hope that the Prince of Nanguang will not do anything else for the sake of the Hou Mansion. Her young lady is a little bit overwhelmed. If she adds fuel to the fire, won't she faint? When Xin An saw Tao Yiran, she smiled very naturally, "Why is my sister-in-law here?"
Tao Yiran gave her a gift first. Xin An smiled more sincerely. She felt that the Prince of Nanguang was really an expert. After chatting for an afternoon, he was able to make Tao Yiran lower himself to bribe her. "Sister-in-law is really too polite. I just heard her playing the piano. The sound of the piano is really pleasant and makes people happy."
Tao Yiran smiled and said, "If you like, I will play a piece of music for you every day from now on, okay? Chunlang also likes to listen to the music."
