Even Princess Duanhui, who was always reluctant to offend Nan Xingyao, couldn't help but darken her expression.
She was a county princess, and her husband was once the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince; her entire family was of high rank and honor!
How come it became worthless in Nan Xingyao's mouth?
"Your Highness is joking. We were just..." Seeing this, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family could only bite the bullet and say a few words to avoid making the situation even more awkward.
But to everyone's surprise, Nan Xingyao retorted directly: "Shut up, I don't want to hear you talk."
have to!
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Meng family didn't mention it at all.
She had mentioned it before, and her mother-in-law couldn't say anything, so that was fine.
"If this is all there is to it, then you should leave immediately."
“Princess, why are you speaking so harshly?... I have a set of fine pink gemstones that you will surely love…”
Princess Duanhui forced herself to coax the other party.
After listening to countless whispers, it was finally possible to appease this troublesome person.
When Nan Xingyao left in the afternoon, Princess Duanhui went to see her off.
When others asked a couple of questions, Princess Duanhui casually mentioned her desire to bring her young son and daughter together.
The next day, people in the capital discovered that Meng Kuo had left the capital and seemed to have gone to the border town.
Everyone understood instantly.
Princess Duanhui is determined to marry this princess as her daughter-in-law!
Commendable courage!
So when Prince Anping sent people to investigate a month later, they heard that Meng Kuo was madly infatuated with Nan Xingyao and would not marry anyone but her!
Chasing love for thousands of miles!
Prince Anping was speechless at this.
"I never expected Meng Kuo to like a girl like this."
I thought that people from scholarly families would prefer gentle and virtuous women.
Everyone: ...
Your Highness, that's your own daughter!
“Father, Yao’er has always been spoiled and willful. If Meng Kuo really likes her and can tolerate her, then she would be a good match.”
Nan Xingyi said sincerely.
Nan Xingyi cared a lot about his younger sister.
Prince Anping nodded in agreement: "Yes, Meng Kuo comes from a good family, and although the Meng family has a long history of officialdom, they are not pedantic. For Yao'er, this is indeed the best place for her."
"However, I noticed that Meng Kuo hasn't come to see Yao'er these past few days; he's been wandering around the border town."
"It's because Yao'er is too willful, and she beats and scolds people at the drop of a hat. But even though Meng Kuo didn't come, he would still buy some things for young girls and send them over when he was strolling around the border town. He was very thoughtful."
The more Prince Anping looked at Meng Kuo, the more satisfied he became with his son-in-law.
Nan Xingyi nodded: "It's Yao'er's temperament... Father should also restrain her a bit."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back now."
"……yes."
Nan Xingyi was somewhat confused.
Over the years, every time he mentioned trying to control his sister's temper, his father would turn a deaf ear!
Even though her father clearly didn't show much affection for her sister, he still indulged her bad temper...
What exactly does Father want to do?
Nan Xingyi couldn't figure it out, so after returning to the courtyard, he brought it up with Song Xingyao.
"...Perhaps Father also loves his sister very much, but he just doesn't know how to express it, so he just indulges her."
Song Xingyao spoke softly and gently, holding a book of poetry in her hand.
Seeing Nan Xingyi rubbing his temples, she put down her book, stood up, walked behind the man, and massaged him to help him relax.
"What color do you think my sister likes? I have two nice bolts of fabric that I'd like to give to her to make clothes, but I don't know what color she likes."
"She made things difficult for you and insulted you, and you still gave her clothes? Yao Yao, you don't have to be so kind."
Recalling the insults and slaps Nan Xingyao had inflicted on Yao Yao when she returned a few days ago, he wished he could just abandon his younger sister forever!
A slight dimming appeared in Song Xingyao's eyes, but it quickly turned into a relieved and satisfied smile:
"Don't worry too much about it. I married you because... I'm already very content with our peaceful life together like this."
"Besides, tolerating her is also for Mother's sake! If it weren't for Mother, how could I have married you? And your position as heir apparent..."
I thought I would be alone for the rest of my life, living a life of widowhood.
But now that I can be with the one I love, what more could I ask for?
If a person is never satisfied, God will take back everything He has given them!
"...Mother, I'm sorry you had to go through this."
In fact, Nan Xingyi was satisfied with Song Xingyao's forbearance.
He was fine with everyone else, but he was completely helpless when it came to his sister.
Because of her mother's sacrifice, she had promised her mother that she would protect her younger sister.
so……
"What are you talking about? We are husband and wife, there's no need to talk about these things."
Song Xingyao is incredibly gentle.
——
Longmen Town.
The tofu workshop has been built, and in the past month, the Chi family, along with the people of Longmen County, have made a fortune from mooncakes!
Even veterans who are missing limbs can do some work and earn money on their own.
Everyone's faces came alive.
At first, people resisted learning to read, feeling that they were too old to learn and that it would be too difficult and useless.
Chi Tang forced everyone to study.
At first, many people complained, but Chi Tang ignored them.
A month later, they told everyone that copying books could make money, but only those with neat handwriting could be sold.
After learning that they could make money from it, they all studied it with great seriousness.
To set an example, Chi Tang also had Uncle Chi and Aunt Chi follow suit.
Even though Old Man Chi loves his daughter so much, he couldn't help but want to scold her.
