Everyone has their own things to do during the day, and at night he will go to the teahouse and wait for her.
I wanted Qi Wu to come and talk about something. But it's been... five, no, six days! That guy hasn't come to the teahouse once.
This is simply outrageous! He is the first person who values women over friendship! He waited in vain for another day and returned home angrily.
As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, the Crown Princess was waiting for him on the side of the road. "Cousin!" she called out sadly.
The prince asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"Cousin...if Ying'er did anything wrong, you should criticize and scold her. We have a friendship since childhood. Please don't treat Ying'er like this..." She wanted to cry.
"Friendship since childhood... funny. Then tell me how you treated me? What did you promise before you married me?"
"But cousin, I manage the household for you. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard..."
"Yeah, you're in charge of the household, so it's convenient for you to manipulate the situation, right? You have the final say, and you can do whatever you want! Others can't have my children... If they get pregnant, I'll kill them. Do you think the world belongs to you?"
Xue Ying was shocked: "I didn't do that, cousin, Ying'er is innocent!"
"What's even more ridiculous is that you dare to do it but not take responsibility for it! That makes me look down on you even more!"
Xue Ying grabbed the handkerchief and said, "Cousin..."
The prince gave her a look of disgust and walked away.
Xue Ying looked at the concubine's courtyard with hatred, humph, she looks so ordinary but has so many tricks!
The crown prince came into the room with a thump and saw Pingting reading a book.
It was obvious that this person was being upset again, "Your Highness, have you eaten yet? Can I give you a bowl of noodles?!"
“No!”
"Then let's play a game of chess?!"
“No!”
"I have asked Wen Yu to come tomorrow. Do you want to see her?"
"No... She'll come tomorrow? Will Qi Wu come?"
"I didn't call him. If you want to see him, I'll send him a letter."
"Do I care about him? No!"
"Qiu'er, send a message to the door. If Master Qi Wu has no official business tomorrow, please ask him to come along."
The prince was satisfied, but still looked awkward. "I said I didn't want to see him anymore. He's a slave to his wife, and he's useless!"
"Your Highness said that he was talking about himself. Didn't you say that he was brought up by you?"
"No! I'm not..."
"Have you seen the father?"
"I just got back, I'm going to take a look!"
He didn't even sit down, turned around and walked away.
…
Today was a private meeting, the prince was in the room, dressed in casual clothes, holding a book, and the grandson was whispering to him.
The Crown Princess was standing by, serving her husband tea and water herself.
Xue Ying sat there carefree, observing Jiang Jiang Pingting from the corner of her eye.
"Your Highness, Qi Yang and his wife have arrived."
The prince said arrogantly: "Let them in!"
Qi Wu followed Wen Yu and walked in. The crown prince came up and glared at Wen Yu unhappily.
Humph, after getting married, she dresses up more gorgeously than before, so this loser is reluctant to go out!
The prince put down the book, looked at his son's ugly face, and laughed.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" The two of them saluted.
"No need to be so polite!" the prince said gently.
The Crown Princess took a look and said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, there are such an eye-catching young couple in the world! No wonder you wanted to meet them today!"
"The peach tree is young and blooming. When you marry, you will be a good match for your family... Qi Yang, Wen Yu, I wish you will stay together until you grow old."
"Thank you for your good words, Your Highness!" The two men bowed again and also greeted the Crown Prince and Xue Ying.
In this situation, Xue Ying didn't dare to express anything and just nodded.
When she saw Wen Yu, she thought of Zhang Jinjin. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. She didn't even understand the whole story. Zhang Jinjin, her best friend who grew up with her, died...
It seems that wealth is also impermanent! At this moment, Xue Ying was somewhat touched: her cousin had changed, and her soft and hard tactics were useless to him.
Even his attitude towards his aunt was different from before.
Of course, my aunt is different too...
While the prince was thinking about it, he didn't know what he said to the two newlyweds, and everyone was laughing.
The Crown Princess also smiled, but she was confused. Now she was very constrained in doing things. She could participate in major events, but anything leaving the East Palace that was of a certain level had to be approved by the Crown Prince.
So, what should we do about that? She and her brother took a lot of money from others. Moreover, they used a lot of it to fill other holes...
I had something on my mind, so I just smiled but didn't listen to what they were saying.
Until the grandson said: "Mother, please take them to the back to have tea!"
The Crown Princess knew that her son was close to Qi Wu, but she didn't know what the relationship was. She saw several men trying to talk, but she treated herself as an ordinary woman and asked to avoid them...
She stood up calmly, without saying a word, and went out.
Xue Ying bowed and took her leave, following the Crown Princess.
Pingting and Wenyu were brought out together, and Wenyu asked, "Shall we follow too?"
"Let's go first."
The Crown Princess walked for a while. I don't know what she said to the palace maid beside her. The palace maid came over and said, "Madam Concubine, the Crown Princess ordered that you take Grandma Qi Wu to your courtyard to talk!"
Jiang Pingting quickly replied, "Yes." She thought, this is just right! "Ayu, how are you?"
"It's generally good. It's just that there are too many people and too much to do. After being married for a few days, I found that I didn't do anything. It's not convenient to go out to the shop... I thought it would be easier after getting married. Alas!"
"With two mothers-in-law above me, and aunts, sisters-in-law, and younger sisters-in-law, there must be a lot of restrictions! How is the shop?!"
"I will be reimbursed every two days, which is great! I just miss Master Qing and Zhuzhu! I'll go see them later. When business is not busy, they can come to my house to see me... I want to clean up a room and do some work when I have nothing to do!"
"Okay, you can assign me some work then. I'm bored too. The Crown Prince said that the King of Wu was scolded by the Emperor last time. The Queen of Wu also made the Queen humiliated. Yongqing will probably feel at ease for a while. However, Yan Zhu still needs someone to follow her. Besides, it's time to think about her affairs."
"Yes. When I settle down, I'll find one for her."
"I remember someone my second aunt mentioned: she was the eldest aunt of her eldest sister-in-law from her mother's family... the second grandson of her cousin... she was quite successful."
Wen Yu thought for a long time and didn't understand: "Who? Can you repeat it again?"
The two of them burst into laughter.
…
Mu Bo followed Wei for two days but didn't understand what she was doing.
He walked back and forth in the room with an uneasy look on his face, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.
After preparing the medicine, he hesitated for a long time but decided not to drink it, and finally poured it out.
What is this woman doing?
After thinking about it, he took back the medicine residue that the girl had thrown away and found a medicine shop to ask...
…
When Wen Yu arrived at the shop, everyone was very happy to see her.
When she got married, she even gave the store some money as a gift...
"I haven't been here much lately. Thank you all for your hard work. Especially Master Qing!"
Master Qing was calm as always: "I am very happy to be busy here every day. Besides, it is not tiring to sort out things. These girls are really great!"
"Where's Zhuzhu?!"
"A cook came and wanted to work in the store. She said she wanted to take a look!"
"I'll go and take a look!"
When they arrived at the dim sum preparation room, Yan Zhu was watching a cook working there.
"Zhuzhu!"
"Ayu! Why are you here? You didn't even tell me!" Zhuzhu rushed over.
"I went out for a while and came to see you. How are you? Are you tired?"
"Not tired! Why don't you come home someday when you have time? When we talked about you the other day, Lan Zhou ran over and listened carefully. Maybe he misses you too!"
"It's been a while since I last saw him. I know, I'll go see him someday. This is..."
"This cook wants to work in the store."
Wen Yu looked over and saw that he looked quite clean and his movements were very skillful. But for some reason, Wen Yu felt a little nervous...
However, it is inevitable that people who have not seen the world would feel nervous when seeing someone as beautiful and elegantly dressed as Wen Yu.
But Wen Yu still pulled Yan Zhu over and whispered, "We are in the food business. Skills are important, but foundation is more important. We have checked the people we hired before, even the waiters and dishwashers, my cousin and Li Jiang. If you want to use this person, you have to find out where he lives and who is in his family."
Yan Zhu nodded: "Zhu Zhu understands. Ah Yu, you see, even though Zhu Zhu trusts Gu Yue very much, she only lets him chop wood and move things in the back, and doesn't let him enter here. Let's see how good this cook is first. If she's good, let Gu Yue check it out."
"Which one is Gu Yue?"
"That's the one! He told me his name is Gu Yue!"
After Wen Yu left, Yan Zhu walked over and looked at the cook: "Well, your technique is quite good." She picked up a steamed taro from the basin on the ground and said, "Let's make another cake and see!"
The cook took it with a smile, but suddenly saw the jade pendant slipping out of Yan Zhu's clothes when she bent down.
He stared in amazement.
…
As soon as Wen Yu entered the mansion, Mu Bo came to find her and said, "That Wei, she is pregnant."
