Ni Yueshan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and Ni Gaofei summoned her over to choose a housekeeper. Ni Yueshan was a little surprised: "Dad, do you trust me?"
"I let you choose someone because I trust you!"
"Thank you, Dad. I will do my best to help you!"
Ni Yueshan originally thought that Ni Gaofei had a grudge against her, but at this moment, she felt that Ni Gaofei's grudge was untied.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was temporarily without a housekeeper, so all the responsibilities fell on Ni Yueshan alone. Since Ni Yueshuang had a miscarriage, they had to arrange for her to have the most nourishing items.
And since she saw that she had not been punished, she must have felt resentful.
Ni Yueshan was still attending to matters when a servant came over to report, "Miss, the General's wife has come to the Prime Minister's residence, and the kitchen needs more dishes. Do you think we should add more for Zhu Zhige alone, or for the master, so that the whole family can dine together?"
"Let's go together!"
As a married daughter, Ni Yingying came back to her parents' home, and Ni Gaofei really wanted to have a meal with her!
Servants, please withdraw obediently.
Ni Yueshan continued to deal with the matters at hand. Not long after, it was time for dinner. Ni Yueshan got up and left to eat.
Taking into account Ni Yueshuang's physical condition, it is not suitable for her to go out and be exposed to the cold wind, so the dining table is set up in Zhuzhi Pavilion. After Ni Gaofei comes back from court, he can have his meal in Zhuzhi Pavilion.
I haven't seen Ni Yingying for several months. When I saw her, I found that she had gained weight, her skin was very tender, and her face was round. She looked very blessed.
When she saw Ni Yueshan, she immediately called out affectionately, "Big sister, congratulations! You will soon be entering the royal family as a concubine of the prince! And your sister has also made great progress, becoming a Shuang concubine, and even pregnant with a prince..."
She slapped herself in the face as she spoke: "Look at me, I mentioned my second sister's sad story again. Alas, the general has been demoted two levels and is being laughed at by many of his colleagues..."
Ni Yueshan naturally knew why Zou Yangyao was demoted. She walked towards the table and glanced at the food.
"Dad, I'll be here soon. Since my third sister is back to visit, it's better not to mention those unpleasant things."
Ni Yingying agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, what you said is right, elder sister."
When Ni Gaofei came over, Ni Yueshan was surprised to see Zou Yangyao there. She thought Zou Yangyao hadn't come...
The two of them stared at each other for only a moment before Ni Yueshan shifted his gaze and instructed the servant beside him, "Add another serving of bowls and chopsticks."
After everyone sat down, Ni Yueshuang came out of the room.
She was wearing a milky white long dress with a fur coat on the outside. Her face was a little pale and her lips were also light in color.
She had lost some weight in the past two days, and her already delicate features now looked even more three-dimensional and breathtakingly beautiful. However, there was a scar on her mouth that slightly affected her appearance.
"Meet Shuangpin."
Everyone present was about to bow. She coughed twice and said, "Please sit down. We are family, so why be polite?"
She sat down first, and then the others sat down.
Ni Yueshan sat between Ni Gaofei and Ni Yingying. She took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks to pick up some food for Ni Gaofei. Ni Gaofei glanced at the other three and said, "Eat!"
Ni Yingying also kept serving food to Ni Gaofei. "Dad, although I came to visit you for the New Year, I want to stay and spend some time with my second sister. She's not feeling well and can't go out, so is it okay for me to stay and talk to her?"
"This is your home. If you want to stay, then stay. Why bother asking me?"
Ni Yingying glanced at Zou Yangyao, who remained silent, and said, "Husband, you will definitely agree, right?"
"I thought Third Sister had already discussed this with her family, but it turns out she's only now asking General Zou."
Zou Yangyao used to be a third-rank general, but now he's only a fourth-rank general. His salary has been cut significantly, and even his troops have been reduced. He's also been ridiculed and bullied. It can be said that he's at the lowest point in his life...
"If you want to accompany Concubine Shuang, there's no reason for me to disagree. If you want to stay, go ahead!"
Zou Yangyao's tone was indifferent, as if he didn't want to have any unnecessary emotions.
Ni Yueshan ate in silence. After lunch, Ni Gaofei got up and left. Ni Yueshan naturally had no intention of staying any longer, so he walked away.
Zou Yangyao was taken downstairs by his servants to have afternoon tea, but he made an excuse, saying that he had something to do and left first.
Ni Yueshan had just returned to Jidong Pavilion and was surprised that the person standing in front of her was even faster than her and arrived at her yard first.
Zou Yangyao was wearing a dark robe, with his black hair tied up high, revealing his smooth forehead, thin and cold lips, and a straight and tall nose. His deep and sinister eyes were staring at her without blinking.
Ni Yueshan paused and kept a distance from him.
"What's up?"
Zou Yangyao raised his lips slightly: "I came here just to remind you that it's best not to let the Second Prince attack the Young Master of the Tian Family!"
Ni Yueshan felt that there was something wrong with this statement. She frowned and asked, "Why?"
"I don't want to say more, just tell him to do it!"
After saying that, he walked out.
Ni Yueshan looked at his back and felt that it was not a warning but a kind reminder, although his face was very ugly.
Ni Yueshan had a complicated expression on his face and walked towards the room.
But Ni Yueshan felt that Zou Yangyao's words might not be alarmist.
"Qingfeng!"
*
Qingfeng arrived at the Second Prince's residence, and the servants said that Jing Yuchen had left the residence early, but did not explain where he went.
Qingfeng had no choice but to go look for Jing Yuchen. When Qingfeng returned to the prime minister's residence, it was already night and Ni Yueshan was sitting at the table preparing to have dinner.
When Ni Yueshan saw Qingfeng, he asked curiously, "Why did it take so long?"
"I don't know where the Second Prince has gone. I've been searching for him, but I haven't been able to find him. So I left a note for him and asked someone in the mansion to pass it on to him!"
Ni Yueshan already felt uneasy, and when Qingfeng didn't meet Jing Yuchen, the feeling of uneasiness in Ni Yueshan became even stronger.
"No, I can't let him go. Please take me to his house!"
Inside the Second Prince's residence, Qingfeng brought Ni Yueshan down. Ni Yueshan grabbed a servant and asked, "Is the Second Prince back?"
The servant was a little surprised: "Yes."
Ni Yueshan's heart, which had been hanging in the balance, finally relaxed at this moment.
Qingfeng shrugged: "Master, you really think too much."
"Don't overthink it, I'll go see him!"
Outside Jing Yuchen's bedroom, Ni Yueshan knocked on the door, and a voice that Ni Yueshan was very familiar with came from inside: "Come in!"
Ni Yueshan pushed open the door and walked in. At this time, Jing Yuchen was comfortably immersed in the mist, with his arms resting on a wooden barrel with water droplets hanging on it, sliding down one by one.
Ni Yueshan's footsteps were very light, and Jing Yuchen should have been able to tell that she was a woman, but he didn't ask her to stop?
