Chapter 885: The beloved cousin escaped from control (11)
Speaking of the Zhou family, after being turned away at the Princess's Mansion, although they were very dissatisfied, they did not give up easily. After that, Liu and Zhou Yizhuo went to the door again and again to ask for a meeting. Even after being rejected, they did not give up. They can be described as "perseverant".
But Du Shichu felt disgusted by the fact that this "perseverance" was trying to use herself as a ladder to climb up, so she never planned to meet this family.
However, she couldn't just avoid seeing this family whenever she wanted. She didn't know whether Liu had sent someone to keep an eye on him in the Princess's Mansion. As long as Du Shichu went out, the Liu family would know. Du Shichu finally went out and wanted to go to the street to buy some cakes and get some fresh air. Then, in front of the Xiangmanlou cake shop, Du Shichu saw Zhou Yizhuo.
Zhou Yizhu was holding a folding fan. When he saw Du Shichu, he said with a look of surprise: "Cousin! I didn't expect you to be here. So you also like to eat Xiangmanlou's cakes? What a coincidence, my mother and sisters also like it..."
When Du Shichu saw him, she immediately realized that this person had come prepared and had deliberately "met" her by chance, so she said with a half-smile, "I didn't expect my cousin to be so filial. Did you come specially to buy cakes for your mother? Then you buy them. I just bought them and left first."
"Hey, cousin, wait a minute!" Zhou Yizhuo shouted hurriedly when he heard it. His original purpose was to meet Du Shichu, and buying pastries was just an excuse. How could he give up spending time with Du Shichu for pastries?
"Cousin, don't leave in a hurry. We haven't seen each other for such a long time. Why don't we find a place to chat so that I can know how you have been doing during this period." Zhou Yizhuo looked very caring.
"No need, I'm doing fine. Cousin, don't just talk to me. The cakes are almost gone. You are so filial, how can you go back empty-handed?" Du Shichu shook his head and reminded him anxiously, "Hurry up, if Xiangmanlou's cakes are sold out, we have to wait until the next day."
Zhou Yizhu was urged by her and suddenly didn't know whether he should give up on her and go to queue. If he didn't queue up to buy cakes, wouldn't Du Shichu know that he didn't come here to buy cakes for his mother, but came here to meet her by chance? In this case, how could his cousin still have a good impression of him?
Without waiting for Zhou Yizhuo to finish her struggle, Du Shichu left on her own. She had no interest in wasting time with someone she disliked.
So Zhou Yizhui didn't have to be in a dilemma at all. When he looked up again, Du Shichu's carriage had already gone far away. He was so angry that he almost broke his fan.
Du Shichu, who was sitting in the carriage, picked up a piece of red bean cake and handed it to the little lion's mouth. The little lion immediately stretched out its pink little tongue and licked it quickly. It was not picky about food at all. When it was eating happily, it would hold Du Shichu's hand with its little paw, for fear that she would suddenly withdraw and stop it from eating.
"What a greedy little cat." Du Shichu couldn't help but rub its little belly. The fur on the belly was thick and dense, and it felt soft and comfortable to the touch, making Du Shichu unable to let it go.
"Meow meow..." The little lion finished eating the red bean cake, licked Du Shichu's hand, and turned his head to look at Du Shichu. His emerald green eyes were watery, bright and charming. While looking at Du Shichu, he did not forget to meow coquettishly to ask Du Shichu for food.
Du Shichu couldn't help but gently touch its wet little nose with his finger and said, "Do you want to eat more? If so, lie down and let me touch your belly."
The little lion quickly slid onto her knees, revealing its snow-white belly. It raised its four little paws obediently, looking at her and meowing, as if calling out to her, "Come on, touch me, and let me eat some cakes after you're done..."
When Du Shi first saw its appearance, he couldn't help laughing. At the same time, he rubbed its belly without any hesitation and said, "Are you going to become a spirit, little lion? If you become a spirit, do you want to be my little demon concubine?"
“Meow meow…” the little lion responded with a humming sound, squinting his round eyes and obediently allowing himself to be touched and stroked.
So half of the cakes that Du Shichu bought went into the little lion's stomach. Fortunately, Du Shichu had pills with various uses, otherwise, if it ate them like this, it would be eaten back to the Meow Planet.
Zhou Yizhu successfully "ran into" Du Shichu at Xiangmanlou, but didn't expect that she didn't seize the opportunity to get along with her. She was very upset. When she returned home, Liu asked her about the situation again and again. She was very impatient: "Mother, I think she looks down on us now that she has become a princess. She doesn't want to pay attention to me at all. I have met her and told her that I want to find a place to drink tea and talk about her life after arriving in the capital, but she refused without giving me any face, and she looked like she was avoiding me. I think she is just destroying the bridge after crossing the river..."
"You've seen her and talked to her, but you still can't find a way to coax her to get along with you? You're really useless!" Liu said to him with regret.
"I have tried to please her shamelessly, but she just won't give me face. What can I do?" Zhou Yizhu was angry and said, "I am useless. Why don't you go find her in person? Oh, I forgot. She doesn't even recognize you as her aunt. She won't even see you when you come to her house in person!"
"You, you rebellious son!" Liu was hit in the sore spot and immediately became furious. "Who am I shamelessly trying to rely on the princess for? How can you be so heartless?! I am doing this for your own good? Now you want to poke my heart like this, all my hard work has been wasted..."
Zhou Yizhu was immediately ashamed when he heard her crying, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, mother, I said something careless. I know that you tried every means to get close to the Princess's Mansion for me and for our Zhou family. I am an unfilial son and I don't understand your painstaking efforts..."
Although Liu was sad to hear her son admit his mistake, she quickly recovered. Zhou Yizu was her eldest son whom she had high hopes for. Whether she could maintain her status as a mother in this life depended on him. Therefore, she was only angry for a while and then she was no longer angry with Zhou Yizu.
Zhou Yizhu sighed and said, "Hey, Zhu'er, don't blame your mother for forcing you to please the princess. Don't you know that someone from the Lincheng Liu family has also come? He went to the princess's mansion yesterday, and the princess met him."
"What? Why would someone from the Liu family come? Aren't they always in Lincheng?" Zhou Yizhu immediately became concerned and asked, "Who from the Liu family came?"
"He's the princess's cousin Liu Weian. Their relationship is much closer than yours and the princess'. They are real cousins." Liu said calmly.
"What should we do?" Zhou Yizhu suddenly became anxious. "If our cousin comes, what chance do we have of winning?"
"Calm down! As far as I know, although the Lincheng Liu family and the princess are blood relatives, their relationship is not much better than ours." Liu glanced at her son who was running around in a panic and said.
