Siping was also in the house with his master. Although he was already seventeen years old and could not enter the backyard, his master had to do hard labor today, so he was brought in. However, the servant knew that Old Lady Fang was a person who valued rules, so he lowered his head and dared not breathe.
Hearing his grandfather's words, Siping couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, thinking, "Grandpa, you really know how to flatter Grandma. Lively? Using mousetraps to set up a long snake formation to attack you is called lively? I don't know how many times you have been chased and kicked out by others, and you expect a piece of clothing to make Grandma calmer? When did you become so naive?
Duan Tingxuan had no idea what the servants around him were thinking. The 200 pieces of cloth sent by the Queen were naturally the best. He only saw that this one was good and that one was not bad either. He finished selecting in a blink of an eye. He picked up about 40 pieces of cloth and piled them aside. However, he still felt that it was not enough. He was about to select the cloth he had selected again when he heard Old Lady Fang say in a deep voice, "My dear grandson, why do you still have to choose? You are not afraid of being tired. Why don't you just take all these cloths to Meiyue Tower? It will save you from being dazzled by the selection, right?"
Duan Tingxuan was stunned, turned around and looked at Old Lady Fang, and asked cautiously: "Grandma, are you speaking sincerely... or are you being sarcastic?"
"If I'm telling you the truth, are you really going to take everything from me?" Old Lady Fang slapped the kang bed, "You bastard, I've loved you for nothing. I haven't even collected a single piece of these fabrics, and you've been letting me pick and choose, and you're still not satisfied. Do you really want to take them all? Are you going to make even the rats in Meiyue Tower into a piece of you? Pah! You little ungrateful bastard."
Duan Tingxuan glanced at the ones he had picked out guiltily. Hmm! It seemed that there were indeed a lot. He had nothing to say. His face was also a little hot. He had to go to Old Lady Fang and said with a sad face: "Grandma, I am also taking advantage of others. Nuannuan's temper is getting more and more fierce. Do you think it is easy for me to take those snacks from her every day to honor you? Now I just took a few pieces of cloth from you, and you scold me as an ungrateful little wolf. I am really wronged. I didn't take any of the colors and patterns that are suitable for you to wear."
"Hmph! Should I thank you?" Old Lady Fang sneered at her grandson, then tapped Duan Tingxuan's forehead with a finger: "Are you looking at me and not knowing? The colors and patterns that are suitable for an old woman like me are naturally not suitable for a young woman like Nuannuan. Do you still want to deceive me? Doing me an empty favor? No way."
"Grandma, it's rare to be confused." The young marquis taught the old lady earnestly: "If a person is too careful, he will have no followers..."
Before he could finish, the old lady interrupted him: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. You have been working hard here with me, why don't you think about getting Nuannuan back to the backyard as soon as possible? Do you want the three of them to stay in that remote corner of Meiyue Tower and starve to death?"
"They are starving? Grandma, how can you say that? To be honest, they are living such a leisurely life now! They drink osmanthus honey, eat exquisite snacks, and are fed with all kinds of dishes. Even I can't live such a comfortable life."
Duan Tingxuan immediately cried out for help, but heard Old Lady Fang say leisurely, "So, you don't plan to let them come back?"
"How is that possible?" Duan Tingxuan rejected it without thinking, then sighed, "Grandma, I have had this plan for a long time, but I mentioned it to Nuannuan twice. The first time, she chased me out with a broom. The second time was even worse, because I didn't know how to handle it. I mentioned it when she was cutting meat, and the tigress chased me to the edge of the garden with a kitchen knife. In short, it's difficult, it's too difficult, I'm trying to find a solution."
"Although Nuannuan had a bad temper in the past, it was not to this extent. How come she has become like this now?" Old Lady Fang frowned. Although she had eaten a lot of snacks from Su Nuannuan, which made her favorability towards this granddaughter-in-law soar, she obviously still could not accept the fact that her grandson was chased and hacked with a kitchen knife.
Duan Tingxuan smiled bitterly and said, "I can't help it. I have to pay for the sins I committed myself." At this point, he smiled again and said softly, "Grandma, although Nuannuan hits me with her at every turn, I feel that I am happier getting along with her than before."
"Are you a cheap bastard?" Old Lady Fang glared at her. "In the past, Nuan Nuan tried so hard to please you, but you ignored her. Now that she has turned her back on you, you're going after her?"
Duan Tingxuan shrugged and said, "It's not that I'm mean, I just feel that the current Nuannuan is really different from the past Nuannuan. Before her father got into trouble, the past Nuannuan rarely dared to yell at me, let alone hit me, but I was indifferent to her arrogance and cruelty. But now, she is not polite to me on the surface, but her heart is kind and righteous. I quite like her current duplicity."
"In the final analysis, you are still a bitch." Old Lady Fang snorted coldly, then waved her hand: "Alright, alright, stop acting so worthless in front of me, take the cloth and hurry to Meiyue Tower, maybe Nuannuan will be moved by your sincerity and will relent. Really, if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? I have said long ago that since her parents have encountered such a thing, you should be more aggrieved and care about her. But you insisted on having her sent to Meiyue Tower, and now you are thinking about how to get her back. It really proves the saying: You reap what you sow."
"Yes, grandmother, please wait for my good news. Although the future is difficult, who is your grandson? No matter how difficult and dangerous the situation is, I will succeed immediately."
Duan Tingxuan was still bragging. He stood up and ordered Siping to take a few little girls to pick up the cloth. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Old Lady Fang say behind him: "We should exchange these cloths for something else, right? Tell Nuannuan that the Fuling cake from last time was interesting. I still miss the taste. Ask her to send some more."
"Oh, you really know how to pick things. The Fuling Cake is the most difficult to make." Duan Tingxuan gave a thumbs up, but heard the old lady Fang snort coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, I just like this. What's wrong with asking her to be filial to me? Besides, Meiyue Tower is not a prison. Why does she stay at home all day? Just tell her that grandma wants to talk to her and ask her to come to me a few times in the future. When everyone in the mansion hated her, I thought I was still good to her."
"Don't worry, I will tell her." Duan Tingxuan could tell that the old lady wanted to help him, so how could he not agree? Although that woman never treated him well, she had a good heart now. With the help of old lady Fang, it would be twice as effective with half the effort.
After Duan Tingxuan left, Old Lady Fang stopped smiling. Qiu Ling beside her said with a smile, "Ever since Master brought food from Meiyue Tower, the old lady has been very happy these days."
