Chapter 783, Driving People Away
Prince Yong readily agreed to Gu Jian's invitation.
After hearing what Gu Jian said, Daohua immediately smiled and looked at Prince Yong: "Since your Majesty is willing to do me the honor, please follow Shengping into the villa." As she said that, she looked at Dongli and motioned him to drive the carriage into the villa first.
"good."
Old Prince Yong nodded with a smile, his expression very kind. Under the guidance of Daohua, Prince Heping walked towards Zhuangzi while talking.
The eldest prince and Xiao Yechen felt an indescribable sense of strangeness when they saw that Gu Jian did not get off the carriage and even left before them.
"That old man is so arrogant! When we first met, he asked us princes to carry him on his back; when we met the second time, he ignored us." The eldest prince looked a little annoyed.
The Second Prince smiled and continued, "Princess Shengping dared to openly contradict the two wives of the Jiang family, and later even disobeyed the Queen Mother. This prince now understands how she developed such an arrogant character. It really is true that like teacher, like disciple!"
The Third Prince took the opportunity to say, "Since you two brothers are so dissatisfied, why don't you just say it directly?"
The eldest prince and the second prince glanced at the third prince, smiled, said nothing, and quickly walked to catch up with the people in front.
With the presence of two elders, Prince Yong and Prince Ping, they didn't care. What could they, as the younger generation, say? They would be annoying for nothing and offend Xiao Yeyang.
Do you really think they are stupid?
This third brother is as sinister as ever, trying to incite them to cause trouble.
On this side, Daohua had already led Prince Yong and Prince Heping into the gate of the manor.
At this time, Gu Jian had already gotten off the carriage and was standing at the door waiting for them. When he saw Old Prince Yong come in, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Old Prince, I am honored to meet you."
When Old Prince Yong saw this, he hurried over, quickly stretched out his hands, and personally helped Gu Jian up: "Brother, please excuse me, please excuse me."
Seeing Prince Yong like this, Prince Daohua and Prince Heping couldn't help but look over.
Daohua thought that Prince Yong must have recognized her master, and she felt a little worried. She glanced at Dongli, but seeing that he didn't react, she ignored him.
Anyway, with Dongli and Caiju here, the emperor will know what's happening here soon. With the emperor backing us up, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Prince Ping was puzzled and felt that Prince Yong was too polite to Gu Jian.
Not only did he feel so, but the several princes who followed him also felt so.
Gu Jian glanced at the eldest prince and the others, then looked away indifferently.
When the eldest prince and his companions saw him like this, they were really angry.
It would be fine if he didn't even say hello, but what's with that nonchalant look, as if he was looking at an insignificant object?
They are princes!
The eldest prince took a deep breath. He had come here today to win over Old Prince Yong. Judging from the old prince's expression, he seemed to think highly of the old man. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "I've heard that the fruits and vegetables at Four Seasons Villa are extraordinary. Seeing them today, I find it's true."
Daohua smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness is too kind. It's just that the tenants have been taking better care of the crops, so they're growing a little better. How can you say it's anything special?"
The Third Prince said, "My Lady, you are truly too modest. Everyone in the capital knows that the fruits, vegetables, and grains produced at Four Seasons Villa are not only of high yield but also of excellent quality."
Daohua smiled and said, "Thanks to my uncle, Four Seasons Villa has good feng shui, making it suitable for growing grains, fruits and vegetables."
When the eldest prince heard Daohua's name, his mouth twitched.
This Princess Shengping is really shameless. She hasn't even married into the royal family yet, but she's already been called the Emperor's uncle.
The Second Prince glanced at the lush green vegetables in the farmyard, and thinking of the Second Prince's wife's love of eating them, he smiled and said, "It's very difficult to buy things at the Four Seasons Fruit and Vegetable Shop. Sometimes I can't even find what I want to eat. I just happened to come across this today. I wonder if the county lady could sell some to me?"
Daohua smiled and said, "Second Prince, you are joking. I will immediately order my servants to pick some fruits and vegetables for the princes to take home."
The Third Prince took over with a half-smile, "Princess Shengping, one day isn't enough. You have to deliver to our families every day. I'm not picky. You can send more fruit, and you can choose the vegetables as you like, as long as they're fresh."
Hearing this, Daohua rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that the Third Prince was really mentally ill.
“Bang!”
Before Daohua could say anything in response to the Third Prince, he was hit by a fan from Prince Ping.
Prince Ping glanced at the Third Prince and said, "Ye'er, I see that you are becoming more and more shameless. I'm still sending you gifts every day. Why don't you just go to heaven?"
As he spoke, he looked at the eldest prince and the others.
"Listen carefully, the things in Four Seasons Villa are sold by Yan girl. Don't come here to ask for money. If you want to eat, go buy it yourself in the store."
The Third Prince looked dissatisfied: "Uncle Wang, it's just some fruits and vegetables. We can't eat much. You are so stingy."
Prince Ping glared and said, "I am so stingy. Go away. I don't want to talk to you. As a prince, you actually ask a girl for food. How shameful!"
The third prince was so angry that his face turned red.
When the eldest prince and his companions saw how protective Prince Ping was of the rice flowers, they wisely said nothing more.
Gu Jian glanced at Xiao Wu's sons, shook his head inwardly, and then looked at Old Prince Yong: "Old Prince, please come with me to the courtyard and sit for a while."
Old Prince Yong smiled and nodded: "Okay."
When Prince Ping saw Gu Jian leading Prince Yong away, he immediately followed.
When Xiao Yechen saw this, he hurriedly chased after him, and the eldest prince and others naturally had to follow.
However, Daohua stood up and stopped a few people: "My princes, Mr. Xiao, I'm so sorry, Xiao Yeyang is not here, I can't receive you, you still..."
Although he didn't finish his words, his order to expel him was clearly revealed.
The Third Prince snorted coldly: "These princes don't need your hospitality."
Daohua smiled faintly and said, "This is my farm. It's really difficult to invite you in."
The eldest prince looked at Daohua and asked, "Does the county lady not welcome us?"
Daohua: "It's not that we are not welcome, but it's inconvenient."
Xiao Yechen sneered, "Then why were Old Prince Yong and my father allowed to stay?" He sneered, "Could it be that the county lady's inconvenience is divided among different people?"
Daohua's voice was a little cold: "Young Master Xiao, be careful with your words. Old Prince Yong and Prince Heping are guests of my master."
Xiao Yechen: "Then we are also your master's guests."
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yechen calmly and said bluntly, "Mr. Xiao, you are not qualified."
"you"
Xiao Yechen looked at Daohua with anger on his face.
The eldest prince and his companions were also a little surprised. They didn't expect Daohua to be so bold.
Daohua didn't want to offend the princes, so after thinking it over, she explained: "My dear princes, my master doesn't like strangers, I hope you can forgive me."
After hearing this, the eldest prince and his companions felt reluctant to insist on staying.
First of all, the old man didn't invite them, and they insisted on following him, which was really a bit cheap.
Secondly, it was inappropriate for them to come to the manor of Shengping County Lord.
Seeing that Daohua was determined not to let them stay, Xiao Yechen immediately shouted to Prince Ping, "Father!"
Prince Ping, Gu Jian and Old Prince Yong had already walked more than ten meters away. When they heard Xiao Yechen's call, the three of them stopped and turned to look at Daohua and the others.
Xiao Yechen quickly said, "Father, the county lady won't let me and the other princes follow."
Daohua took the conversation slowly and said, "Your Highness, Xiao Yeyang is not here, so it is not easy for me to receive the princes and Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Yechen snorted, "We dare not trouble the county lady to receive us."
Daohua made a 'please' gesture towards the door: "Then please come in, Young Master Xiao."
"you"
Xiao Yechen quickly looked at Prince Ping.
Prince Ping thought of Gu Jian's aloof personality and said, "Chen'er, you and Ye Heng should go back first."
Xiao Yechen was stunned, obviously not expecting Prince Ping to say that.
Old Prince Yong knew that Gu Jian should not have too much contact with the royal family at this time. After thinking about it, he also said: "Ye Heng, you can go back with your brothers."
Now, it’s really not easy for the eldest prince and his companions to stay any longer.
Xiao Yechen didn't want Prince Ping to stay here any longer. He walked around the rice flowers and walked up to Prince Ping, saying, "Father, this is... this is the manor of the Shengping County Lady. How can a father-in-law live in his daughter-in-law's manor?"
"Besides, Princess Shengping and my second brother haven't gotten married yet. If you keep staying here, people will spread gossip. It's better for you to go back to the palace with your son."
Prince Ping glared, his face filled with annoyance as he said, "Who said I live here? I'm clearly living in Yeyang's manor, but I was just bored during the day and came to Four Seasons Villa to chat with the old man to relieve my boredom."
Xiao Yechen's voice was quite loud. Gu Jian heard what he said, stopped and looked at Prince Ping with obvious displeasure on his face: "Take your son away quickly, and you should leave too. I don't want to hear any gossip."
Having said that, he snorted and left with Prince Yong.
Prince Ping didn't expect Gu Jian to drive him away, and was stunned for a long time.
Xiao Yechen's face was filled with anger: "Father, that old man is too arrogant. How dare he treat you like this."
Daohua walked over and said, "Master Xiao, you really don't want the prince to be well at all. My master is treating the prince's health, but you are trying to sow discord between them. Do you really not want the prince to be healthy?"
As he spoke, he looked at Prince Ping.
"Your Majesty, Master is worried about my reputation. He's not really targeting you. Young Master Xiao just said that. I don't dare to keep you anymore. You can go back with him."
Seeing Daohua leave him and go after Gu Jian and Old Prince Yong, Prince Ping felt a little embarrassed and aggrieved, staring at Xiao Yechen with dissatisfaction.
"Chen'er, why do you think so?"
Xiao Yechen: "Son, don't you know that you live in my second brother's manor?"
Prince Ping said angrily, "You don't know anything, yet you dare to speak nonsense outside?"
Xiao Yechen lowered his head and said nothing, looking as if he knew he was wrong.
Prince Ping snorted, no longer looking at Xiao Yechen, but at the eldest prince and the others: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and leave. If I hear any bad gossip in the future, I will come after you."
The eldest prince was speechless. What did this have to do with them?
But then again, in order to slander Xiao Yeyang, Xiao Yechen was cruel enough to even throw dirty water on his own father's head. Now, Uncle Ping Wang probably won't come to Four Seasons Villa again in the future.
