Chapter 1025 No Need to Get Along
Under the compelling gaze of Old Master Fu, Xiao Lanyuan said, "When I was little, I had to trouble Aunt Cheng to take care of me many times."
Old Master Fu was somewhat satisfied with his answer. Yes, just a little.
He was like an elder, teaching Xiao Lanyuan, "Repay a favor with a favor."
Mrs. Cheng found this very unpleasant and immediately interrupted him.
"A Yuan was just a child at the time, so it was my duty to take care of him."
"Hey," Old Master Fu retorted, "That's not the case. It's your duty to take care of your own children, but if they are not your own, then taking care of them is a favor. Although we should take care of our own children, but with the status of Prince Jun, most people wouldn't dare to really treat him as their own child, right?"
Who dares to treat a dragon son as his own child?
Madam Cheng always felt that what Old Master Fu said was a mockery of her, saying that she was shameless and dared to think that she was Prince Jun's elder.
Her face felt a little hot.
Who was it that gave her the news that Fu Zhaoning's grandfather was a kind and benevolent old man. If it weren't for his easy talk, such a big house would not have been occupied by the clan members, and the grandfather and grandson would not have been able to survive.
She had always thought that Old Master Fu was really an honest man who was kind and easy to talk to!
What's the result now? How can he be an honest person? How can he be easy to talk to?
Mrs. Cheng felt a little regretful for a moment. She thought she could start with Old Master Fu.
She didn't know that Old Master Fu was indeed a kind and gentle man, but he had been influenced by Fu Zhaoning in recent years. He also knew that Zhaoning had a hard time outside and had suffered so much injustice because of his illness in the past. He must not hold her back in the future.
She can't easily forgive those who have hurt her.
When Old Master Fu thought about the injustice that Madam Cheng had done to Zhaoning, his heart became much harder.
Why do you need so many gifts?
"Aunt Cheng came to visit Old Master this time. She must have something to tell him." Xiao Lanyuan couldn't bear it. Aunt Cheng was almost embarrassed. "Old Master, why don't you go into the hall and have some tea and chat first?"
We can't just let people stand here like this forever, can we?
"Come in, come in." Old Master Fu waved his hand, "Someone, come and serve the tea."
Mrs. Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed him in.
Xiao Lanyuan turned around and looked at Fu Jinchen who was standing over there, feeling a little uneasy.
His father-in-law came and didn't show up for a long time. He just stood there, which made him feel pressured.
"Father-in-law, I'll go see if Ningning is up."
"He should be up by now. You go ahead. I'll go in and greet the guests." Fu Jinchen then walked over.
Xiao Lanyuan nodded.
"Aunt Cheng, I'll go see Zhaoning first." He also said something towards the hall.
Mrs. Cheng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Lanyuan is gone, and she is here alone?
"Or, let the princess come here too—" She wanted to say that she still had to apologize to Fu Zhaoning. It was better for everyone to be here than for Xiao Lanyuan to go to the backyard. She didn't know what Fu Zhaoning would say to him later.
But before she could finish her words, she heard Fu Zhaoning's voice.
"Don't shout, I'm coming."
Xiao Lanyuan heard the footsteps just now, and when he looked, he saw that it was indeed Fu Zhaoning.
"Ningning."
"Good morning." Fu Zhaoning greeted with a smile.
At first glance, it doesn't seem like she's angry.
Xiao Lanyuan thought again, could it be that she slept well last night, so her anger yesterday has subsided? Moreover, Xiaoyue should have told her about his visit last night, right?
"Did you sleep well last night?" Xiao Lanyuan walked over and held her hand.
Fu Zhaoning didn't struggle to break free, but looked up and smiled at him.
The brilliant smile in the early morning almost made Xiao Lanyuan faint. He wanted to bow his head and give her a kiss, but his grandfather, father-in-law and Madam Cheng were all here, so it was not appropriate.
Xiao Lanyuan could only hold it back.
"Princess." Madam Cheng stood in the hall and greeted Fu Zhaoning.
"Greetings, Princess." Lu Guo immediately followed suit and bowed politely.
Looks impeccable.
Fu Jinchen walked in.
"Mrs. Cheng said that she treats my son-in-law as her junior, but now she is very distant towards my daughter. Is it because she doesn't dare to treat my daughter as her junior?"
When Mrs. Cheng saw Fu Jinchen, she secretly admired his style and youth, but was also stung by his sarcastic words.
"Of course not. I'm just not familiar with the princess."
Mrs. Cheng calmed down and responded calmly.
"No, because I'm not familiar with it and don't understand it, I had a misunderstanding with the princess as soon as I arrived in the capital yesterday, which made the princess unhappy. I thought about it last night and felt sorry for it. So, I asked A Yuan to bring me here early in the morning, thinking about apologizing to the princess in person."
Mrs. Cheng kept a very humble attitude.
Fu Zhaoning, however, felt extremely disgusted.
She looked at Xiao Lanyuan, "So you came here early this morning just for this?"
Xiao Lanyuan was choked for a moment.
"Aunt Cheng didn't tell me in advance that she was coming to the Fu family. I wanted to come early to have breakfast with you, but she came to me and said she was coming to visit, so we came together." He explained helplessly.
Now Xiao Lanyuan finally understood.
Madam Cheng and Fu Zhaoning were probably born to be incompatible. They disliked each other, so it was difficult for them to get along well.
He decided to give up.
Anyway, they won't have much interaction in the future.
"Does the princess think I'm not enthusiastic enough? In fact, I thought at first that we weren't familiar with each other, and I didn't know what your personality was like. I didn't know if calling you by your name would make you feel uncomfortable, so I didn't control my attitude well, and in the end, I really made the princess unhappy—"
"Stop."
Fu Zhaoning pulled the hand out of Xiao Lanyuan's hand, waved it, and interrupted Madam Cheng.
Mrs. Cheng was stunned.
"I am a person with no manners, let me make it clear first."
Fu Zhaoning said this first, and then went on to say directly, "Madam Cheng, the reason why we don't get along well has nothing to do with whether we are familiar with each other or not. I don't like your temperament and the way you play tricks on me, so we should just not have any contact. There is no need to force ourselves to get along."
Mrs. Cheng's eyes went dark and she almost couldn't bear such directness.
"W-What do you mean I'm playing tricks on you? Princess, your words are so hurtful. You have misunderstood me too much, right?"
Fu Zhaoning shook his head. "There is no misunderstanding. From the way you addressed Xiao Lanyuan and me, and the fact that you snatched the star jade bracelets as soon as we met, to the fact that you accused me of not considering Xiao Lanyuan's taste last night, to now following me to the Fu family so early in the morning."
