Chapter 220 I'll Call Anyone a Dog
Princess Hengyang acted decisively and set the date for welcoming Chunxi five days later, and sent people to deliver invitations to all the mansions.
Chunxi had no chance to refuse, but she didn't want to refuse either.
Now that she's back safely, she really deserves a chance to meet everyone.
After Princess Hengyang left, Chunxi asked Shen Qingyuan softly, "My husband, have you checked Uncle Tiger and Uncle Leopard's past? I think they are very skilled. Is it okay for me to keep them in the mansion to work?"
The guards hired by Shen Qingyuan for his family were all quite skilled, but when it came to something like this, they were not as experienced as Uncle Tiger and Uncle Leopard. Moreover, the two had been in this business for many years, had some connections in the underworld, and could get information quickly, so there was no need to trouble Wuyou Pavilion in the future.
"If you can convince them to stay."
Shen Qingyuan spoke lightly, implying that these two people could be trusted.
Chunxi did not pursue the two people's past, but seriously thought about how to convince them to stay.
Just as she was lost in thought, Shen Qingyuan's voice came: "Madam, have you had enough sleep?"
"That's enough."
She took two days' sleep at the Yu County Inn, and then slept for another full day when she came back. Now she felt extremely energetic.
"Has the lady eaten enough?"
"I'm full."
Chunxi nodded.
Not only was he full, but because he ate too quickly, he felt a little bloated now that Shen Qingyuan reminded him.
"Thanks to my husband for reminding me, I need to move around to digest the food."
Chunxi stood up and prepared to walk around the yard a few times, digesting the food while thinking of ways to keep the guests. However, just as she took a step, her waist tightened. Shen Qingyuan said seriously, "I'll help Madam."
Shen Qingyuan's voice was slightly hoarse and very low, and when it reached Chunxi's ears, she immediately felt a tingling sensation.
The two of them already had a tacit understanding in this regard. Chunxi tilted her head and saw the desire surging in Shen Qingyuan's eyes.
Chunxi also missed him very much. She didn't hesitate, put her arms around Shen Qingyuan's neck, and jumped on Shen Qingyuan: "I not only need to digest the food, but also find a way to keep Uncle Tiger and Uncle Leopard. Can my husband help me?"
Shen Qingyuan steadily carried Chunxi into the house, his voice growing hoarse, "Madam, if you have a request, there is no reason for me to refuse."
Chunxi curled the corners of his lips and lowered his head to kiss him.
She was full of energy and had desires in her heart. At first, Chunxi was the one who started the fire, but later, she gave in: "Husband, I was wrong. I shouldn't have provoked you like that just now. I won't dare to do it again."
Shen Qingyuan paused, then leaned against Chunxi's back and whispered in her ear, "Provocation? So, Madam, you were trying to overpower me just now."
"I'm not, I didn't!"
Chunxi immediately denied it, but the next moment she heard Shen Qingyuan say, "It's okay. Your husband is willing to let you 'press' me."
“…”
After a night of tossing and turning, Chunxi felt that the energy she had finally regained was half sucked away by Shen Qingyuan again. Fortunately, Shen Qingyuan kept his promise and helped her keep Uncle Tiger and Uncle Leopard.
Soon, it was time for the welcoming banquet five days later.
Early in the morning, Princess Hengyang sent someone to take Chunxi to the princess's residence and ordered them to carefully dress Chunxi up.
Chunxi looked at the gorgeous dresses and couldn't help but say, "Princess, isn't this a bit too grand and exaggerated?"
This had never happened before when she attended palace banquets.
Princess Hengyang glanced at her sideways, then put her hands on her hips and said, "How can it be grand or exaggerated? You were kidnapped for no apparent reason. I don't know how many people secretly wanted to see you make a fool of yourself. Now that you've finally returned, I must give those people a good slap in the face!"
"Princess, didn't you say before that we shouldn't waste our energy on unworthy people and things?"
"I'm a noble princess, powerful and influential. They only dare to tease me in private. Of course, I can ignore it. If you act like you don't care, they'll think you're guilty and afraid, and then they'll take advantage of you. Do you understand?"
“…”
Princess, although what you said is true, why does it sound so hurtful?
The makeup was very complicated, and the dress was even more complicated to put on. Several maids were busy for a full hour before they helped Chunxi get ready.
The guests had already arrived. Princess Hengyang was receiving them outside, and Chunxi went out under the guidance of her maid.
When we were almost at the garden, we suddenly heard a noise.
She quickened her pace and walked over, and immediately saw Xiao Qingyue standing in the crowd with her neck stiffened, like a fighting cock.
"No matter how humble Cao Chunxi's background is, she is still related to my Xiao family. I, Xiao Qingyue, want to call her little aunt. Just try saying that to her again!"
"She's been kidnapped for so many days. Anything could have happened. I just made a reasonable guess and didn't say anything about her. Why are you so excited?"
"The government will naturally investigate this matter. You know nothing and are just guessing here. Aren't you afraid of the consequences of damaging your virtue?"
Xiao Qingyue raised her voice and widened her eyes. She didn't show at all that she had been taught any rules by Madam Xiao these days. Instead, she looked more ferocious than before.
"I just spoke the truth a few times, why am I being punished? It's Second Miss Xiao who has adopted all the rudeness and unreasonableness of your young aunt, and isn't afraid of getting a bad reputation and being unable to marry in the future. Does Second Miss Xiao want to follow your young aunt's example and marry a widower who is unlucky in marriage?"
This statement not only insulted Xiao Qingyue, but also Chunxi and Shen Qingyuan.
Xiao Qingyue was so angry that she was about to rush over and hit him, but Chunxi stepped forward in time and pressed him into her arms: "Haoyue'er, it's been a while since we last met. You are getting more and more beautiful. I miss you so much."
Chunxi suddenly appeared and hugged Xiao Qingyue tightly. Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Qingyue was a little dazed, and the burning anger was temporarily extinguished.
Cao Chunxi really came back safely.
Xiao Qingyue felt a little sad for some reason, and the people who were originally watching the excitement silently took a few steps back.
Even if Xiao Qingyue hits someone, it wouldn't be scary, but if Cao Chunxi started to attack, it would be too scary.
Everyone was frightened, and Miss Mu San, who had just quarreled with Xiao Qingyue, was even more worried.
Previously, at Xiao Qingyue’s birthday party, because she said a few words to Cao Chunxi, Shen Qingyuan accompanied Cao Chunxi to the Mu family to ask for money, causing her to be confined to her father for more than a month, and Xiao Qingyue also became estranged from her.
She was filled with resentment, and when she heard that Chunxi had been kidnapped for over a month and had returned, she couldn't help but say a few words, hinting that Chunxi had lost her virginity. Who would have thought that after hearing this, Xiao Qingyue would quarrel with her angrily, and Cao Chunxi happened to hear it.
Is Cao Chunxi going to her house to complain again this time?
Miss Mu San clenched the silk handkerchief tightly. Although she was timid, she did not want to lose face. She stood straight and did not intend to give in or apologize.
However, Chunxi didn't even look at her. He just rubbed Xiao Qingyue's head and said, "It's inevitable that there will be dogs barking in a crowded place like this. Why are you arguing with a dog?"
“Mrs. Shen, who are you calling a dog?”
Third Miss Mu was so angry that her chest heaved. Chunxi raised an eyebrow and said, "I'll call anyone a dog. Why, Third Miss Mu, do you feel like you've been scolded?"
