"Zhuzhu, baby, come here!"
Nanling whispered to Yuze, "We'll talk about it tonight. I'll have the housekeeper arrange accommodations for you first."
Yu Ze's increasingly cold face suddenly broke into a gentle smile, "Okay!"
The child's arrival was a good thing; Lingling didn't say she would refuse, and was even allowed to stay in her mansion.
"Just arrange accommodations for me; everyone else will have their own places to stay," Yu Ze whispered to Nan Ling as he walked towards Yun Chang.
Nan Ling responded, bent down to catch Zhu Zhu who was running towards her, rubbed her head, and then straightened up to look at Zhou Quan and Yun Chang.
This Prince Yun is quite interesting. Why isn't he going back? Is he planning to visit, or is he just here to watch the show?
However, it doesn't matter. It's been a long time since my manor has had any guests or been this lively. I'll treat them well today!
Therefore, she led everyone to the West Wing Pavilion, had Li Mai serve them tea, and went to arrange accommodations for Yu Ze and dinner, telling them to eat there that night.
Li Mai responded.
She got up and invited Yun Chang and Yu Ze to sit on the couch. After sitting down at the tea table, she had Zhou Quan sit next to her, while Zhu Zhu was led out by Nan Ling.
After pouring tea for Yun Chang and Yu Ze, Li Mai poured tea for Zhou Quan as well. Then she glanced at Yu Ze and raised an eyebrow, "Master Yu, won't you introduce yourself?"
Yu Ze's expression only changed when he was facing Nan Ling. When facing unfamiliar people like Li Mai, he still had that cold, expressionless face.
"Yu Ze, head of the Yu family, don't you already know?" Yu Ze said calmly.
After he finished speaking, he raised his teacup to Yun Chang and was about to put it to his lips to drink the tea when he found that no matter how he poured it, the water in the teacup did not move at all, and not a single drop could be poured into his mouth.
He was stunned, a crack appeared on his face, and he turned the teacup upside down on the table in disbelief, but not a drop of tea fell.
"What the hell?" he said in disbelief, looking up at Li Mai.
But he saw her looking at him with a half-smile, and her finger was pointing at his teacup.
Yu Ze was shocked!
This was the first time in his life he had encountered something so unbelievable, and his face finally showed an expression other than blankness: astonishment.
Li Mai smiled faintly, moved his fingers away, and saw the tea in his still tilted teacup suddenly spill out.
"Ah!" Yu Ze exclaimed in surprise, quickly putting the teacup in his hand on the table.
However, he also noticed that the tea that had just spilled on the table had turned into a jet of water that flew past his ear and landed on the edge of the large water vat in the yard, where it fell into the soil.
This time, Yuze knew that he had met a master.
He quickly bowed to Li Mai and said, "I was rude. Madam, what can I do for you?"
Li Mai smiled faintly, withdrew her finger, and said with a light smile, "Have some tea."
"What wrong has Patriarch Yu done?"
Yuze didn't really know what he had done wrong, but after years of traveling around, he knew that if the other party had treated him this way, then he must have been in the wrong.
"Please enlighten me, Madam!" Yu Ze was a worldly man who knew when to yield.
Li Mai raised an eyebrow, smiled, and refilled his teacup. "Young Master Yu, please have some tea."
The way you address someone has changed!
Yu Ze breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his teacup again. This time, he was able to drink his tea without any problems.
Arrogant and pretentious people should be allowed to cool off a bit, and perhaps they will stop being so pretentious.
Consider this a small gift she gave him upon meeting him!
Li Mai ignored him and instead refilled her elder brother's tea.
"Big brother, would you like to play chess?" Li Mai asked Yun Chang.
"Sure!" Yun Chang nodded, then looked at Zhou Quan, "Brother-in-law, shall we play?"
Li Mai smiled and said, "He has to go back to send the carriage back to Xiao Tao and also make some arrangements at the manor. We won't be going back for dinner tonight."
Yun Chang nodded, "I'll play chess with you. Okay, let's play Gomoku."
“Okay!” Li Mai nodded, pulled Zhou Quan out into the courtyard, and told him to take the carriage back to the shop.
When they arrived, they didn't use Li Dong; Li Dong was working with Zhou Tao at the shop at that time.
"Okay, should we have him pick us up after dinner?" Zhou Quan asked.
Li Mai nodded, "Okay, when you come back, please invite Chu Yan and Zhong Hui to come over for dinner with Sister Ling."
"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you!" Zhou Quan asked softly, holding her hand.
"Let's buy some roasted chestnuts. Sister Ling loves them too. Let's buy a lot so we can have some after dinner," Li Mai thought for a moment.
"Okay!" Zhou Quan accepted the order and left.
When Li Mai returned, she saw two people inside the house staring at her speechlessly.
Li Mai blinked. "What's wrong?"
"Can you even buy roasted chestnuts at this hour? You're not trying to make things difficult for your brother-in-law, are you?" Yun Chang asked, raising an eyebrow.
Li Mai smiled. "He knows where to buy them."
Yu Ze listened to these words and seemed to be deep in thought.
Li Mai took out a small wooden box from his sleeve, took out a Go game and a game manual, placed them on the table, and began playing Go with Yun Chang.
She had taught him once before, and he already knew how to do it.
Yuze watched quietly from the side, occasionally refilling their tea.
For a moment, the atmosphere among the three of them was quite peaceful.
"My name is Li Mai. I'm Sister Ling's friend, and also like a sister to her," Li Mai suddenly blurted out.
But Yuze understood; this was an introduction to him.
“My husband’s surname is Zhou, so you may call me Mrs. Zhou from now on, Young Master Yu,” Li Mai added.
Yun Chang glanced at her and chuckled, "You're going to back up your sister?"
Li Mai winked at Yun Chang, "My sister only has me and Nan Yu as family now. If we don't support her, who will?"
Yu Ze smiled wryly. This Mrs. Zhou was really not polite. That move just now certainly gave him a taste of her power.
He was just curious how she did it.
Li Mai glanced at him and raised an eyebrow. "Don't be curious about me, and keep your mouth shut. Don't say things you shouldn't, or even my sister can't save you."
Yu Ze nodded, "I understand!"
Li Mai smiled and said, "Okay, we'll see how you perform from now on."
Yu Ze hummed in agreement and asked Yun Chang, "Are the Prince and Madam Zhou siblings?"
Yun Chang shook her head, "It's dry, but we'll be family from now on."
Yuze understood.
As the head of the Yu family, he knew that Yun Chang was injured on the battlefield, and after returning to the capital, he was crippled in both legs and had been staying in the mansion for a year without leaving.
But unexpectedly, news suddenly came in March of this year that the King of Yun had recovered. He was quite shocked at the time, but his recovery was a good thing for them, the common people.
After all, his bravery is well-known.
