Ever since she met Hua Xi Wan, Hua Yiliu had been absent-minded. She glanced at her mother, who was winking at her. After hesitating for a moment, she forced a smile and said, "Recently, something happened at Grandfather's house. Seeing that you're doing well, there's finally something to be happy about."
Hearing this, Hua Xi Wan's hand, which was holding the teacup, paused. Then she smiled and said, "I'm living well in Jun Wang's house. Elder sister, don't worry." After saying this, she slowly took a sip of tea, the smile on her face unchanged.
"That's good." Hua Yiliu smiled even more awkwardly when she didn't get the reaction she expected. When she turned her head, she happened to see Hua Chu Yu's gaze on her. She immediately felt her face heat up. She blamed Hua Xi Wan for not being tactful, and hated Hua Chu Yu's seemingly knowing gaze. She was vexed for a long time, and only recovered when the Jang spoke.
"Jun Wang Fei, I shouldn't have said this today, but I really have no choice." The Jang saw that Hua Xi Wan didn't understand his hint, and his daughter was too thin-skinned, so he couldn't help but say directly, "My parents only had one son when they were close to the end of their lives. These years, although they doted on my brother, they didn't raise him to be a foppish playboy. Instead, he was very diligent and motivated. Who knew that two days ago, my brother disappeared. My parents searched everywhere in the capital but couldn't find him. Even the government was alerted, but there's still no news. I heard that His Highness Prince Xian has a lot of friends. Please help us put in a good word for Prince Xian and ask him to help our Zhang family. "
"Nonsense!" The old madam shouted decisively, "Prince Xian isn't from the government. How can he help you find him? Shut up!" This Jang was really hateful. He spoke without thinking. What did he mean by Prince Xian had a wide circle of friends? Did he mean that Prince Xian had formed a clique with some people in the capital?
Zhang s.h.i. + also realized that her words were not appropriate, but after being shouted at by the old taitai, she did not have a way out. Her expression changed and she said dryly to Hua Xi Wan, "Junw.a.n.g Fei, this subject-wife misspoke. Please forgive me."
"Second Aunt, don't say that. We're a family. There's nothing to forgive." Hua Xi Wan put down the teacup and looked at the sky outside. She stood up and said, "It's getting late. I should go back to Jun Wang's Mansion."
Jang saw that Hua Xi Wan didn't have any intention of helping. He hurriedly said, "Third niece …"
"Second Sister-in-law, if you have any private words, you can leave them for us sisters-in-law. It's getting late. If Jun Wang Fei stays here for too long and misses the time to return to the wang fu, it won't be good." Lu Clan walked in front of Jang and held her wrist. He said with a half smile, "Don't you think so, Second Sister-in-law?"
Jang's face paled. Her wrist hurt from Lu Clan's grip. She didn't want to accept it, but she didn't dare to make a scene with Lu Clan. She could only close her mouth with an ugly expression.
Seeing that Hua Xi Wan was perceptive and did not speak, Lu shi turned back to look at Hua Xi Wan a few times. She smiled and went forward to straighten Hua Xi Wan's clothes. "Live well, do not wrong yourself."
"Your daughter knows. Don't worry." Hua Xi Wan squeezed Lu Clan's hand. She took a step back and bowed deeply to Lu Clan. Then she turned and walked out with Bai Xia and the other servant girls.
She knew that Lu Clan and the other womenfolk would follow behind to send her off. But she didn't want to look back. She couldn't bear to see Lu Clan's eyes filled with reluctance.
The Lu Clan walked Hua Xi Wan to the Chuihua Gate and then stopped. Prince Xian was standing outside the Chuihua Gate.
Hua Xi Wan finally couldn't help but look back at Lu Clan. She curled her lips and smiled at Lu Clan. Then she lifted her skirt and walked out of the Chuihua Gate.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Yan Jinqiu, who had his back to the Chuihua Gate, turned around. Seeing that it was Hua Xi Wan, he took a few steps forward and cupped his hands toward the Chuihua Gate. Then he took Hua Xi Wan's hand and lowered his head: "In the future, if you miss your family, I will accompany you to see them."
"Thank you." Hua Xi Wan raised her head and smiled at Yan Jinqiu. Then he helped her into the sedan. As the sedan curtain was lowered, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
"Up!"
Following Mutong's order, the sedan moved further and further away from the Chuihua Gate until it could no longer be seen. Only then did Lu Clan look away. She turned to look at Jang and sneered: "Second Sister-in-law, if you have matters to attend to at home, you should go back early. Sister-in-law won't keep you."
Jang saw that Lu Clan didn't give him any face and immediately became angry: "Sister-in-law is Jun Wang Ye's mother-in-law. You have matters to attend to. A small person like me won't disturb you!" Then she turned to Hua Yiliu and said, "What are you still standing here for? Are you annoying?" After saying these words, she turned and angrily left.
Hua Yiliu bowed to the elders present and then lowered her head and hurriedly followed. In Hua Chu Yu's eyes, this kind of behavior was a bit like fleeing in defeat.
On the way home, Yao Clan was in a good mood and said to Hua Chu Yu: "Chu Yu, you have to remember, a woman can be not beautiful, but she can't be without edges. No matter how beautiful a woman is, if she is submissive and has no personality, men will get tired of her sooner or later and turn to find other women for stimulation. "
Hua Chu Yu knew that her mother was talking about Hua Yiliu and silently nodded. She lifted a corner of the carriage's curtain and thought absentmindedly, if a woman's personality was only to attract men's attention, then what kind of personality would that be?
For some reason, she suddenly thought of Hua Xi Wan who always seemed lazy and indolent. She felt a bit envious. If she could be as casual as Xi Wan, then what did it matter if men loved her or not?
Many young masters of prestigious families who came to watch the spectacle, and discontent noble daughters of prestigious families, paid special attention to the newly married Xian Junw.a.n.g couple. So when they learned that Xian Junw.a.n.g had accompanied Xian Junw.a.n.g Fei back home until around three in the afternoon, the news quickly spread through Jing and surprised many people.
Xian Junw.a.n.g accompanying Junw.a.n.g Fei back home was called being respectful and kind. But to accompany Junw.a.n.g Fei until three in the afternoon before leaving Yi 'an Marquis Fu, this was not something that could be explained by just being kind. Was it … Xian Junw.a.n.g and Junw.a.n.g Fei really loved each other?
Not only did the noble ladies in the capital not believe this, but even the young masters of the noble families did not believe that Prince Xian would fall in love with a woman with no talent. They thought about it and finally came to a publicly recognized conjecture, which was that Prince Xian was a kind and kind person that was hard to come by in a hundred years. Nghi An Marquis had found a good son-in-law.
Fahrenheit must have done countless good deeds in her previous life to be able to marry such an outstanding man like Prince Xian in this life.
Hua Xi Wan, who was rumored to have done countless good deeds in her previous life, had no interest in the gossip outside. Jun Wang Manor did not have a concubine or tongfang, and the servants were very well-behaved. She, as Jun Wang Fei, had nothing to do other than admiring the scenery, reading, and sleeping.
Fortunately, she was a lazy person to begin with. In half a month, she had read close to twenty mythological stories and tasted many of the chefs' signature dishes. Her days were very comfortable and she did not have the slightest intention to go out and play.
Therefore, when Mutong came to tell her that there would be a palace banquet in two days, she was too lazy to even lift her eyelids. After Mutong finished talking about the importance of the palace banquet, she turned her attention away from the book, "Emperor's birthday?"
"Yes, the Emperor gave the order. Because it is not a birthday celebration, there is no need to hold a big banquet. Only a few family banquets will be held in Zhaoyang Hall for the members of the Imperial Family to join in the fun." Mu Tong saw Junw.a.n.g Fei's expression was calm as though she was not very interested in the palace banquet. So he added, "Junw.a.n.g Ye also said that the ten thousand birthday gift was prepared two months ago, so Junw.a.n.g Fei, you do not need to prepare another one."
Hua Xi Wan nodded when she heard this. She put down the book in her hand and ate a piece of fragrant pear in Red Tassel's hand. She supported her chin with one hand and said, "Go tell Wang Ye that I already know."
Mutong saw Jun Wang Fei pick up the book that had been thrown to the side and read again. He bowed and retreated. He only relaxed when he left the zhengyuan. For some reason, every time he spoke in front of Jun Wang Fei, he felt especially careful. Probably because … he had seen Jun Wang Fei's valiant appearance when she kicked the wooden stool away?
"Since these people are not willing to speak, then there is no need for them to speak." Yan Jinqiu threw the messy and slightly wrinkled testimonies in his hands to the ground. He wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "Those who want my life are just those few people. I have no interest in knowing who is behind the scenes. Don't be too happy when you send those people on their way. Otherwise, they will not understand what it means to be better off dead than alive. "
"Yes." The person kneeling on the ground picked up the testimonies that had been thrown to the side. He hesitated before saying, "These people are related to the Zhang Family. Nghi An Marquis's younger brother's di wife is from the Zhang Family. This subordinate is worried that Nghi An Marquis is related to this matter."
"What do you think Hua Hesheng is?" Yan Jinqiu sneered. "That kind of old fox would not get involved in this kind of matter. I'm afraid that even the Zhang Family is still in the dark." This Master Zhang was a good dog for the Crown Prince. The master did not dare to make a move, but this dog came to bite first.
The person kneeling on the ground did not dare to make a sound. He only lowered his head even more.
"Jun Wang Ye." Mutong's voice sounded from outside the door. After a while, he entered the door. He did not even look at the person kneeling on the ground. "This subordinate has already told Jun Wang Fei about the palace banquet."
"Oh?" Yan Jinqiu threw the handkerchief on the table. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did Jun Wang Fei say?"
"Jun Wang Fei said that she knows." After Mutong said this, his neck moved back and forth unnaturally.
"En." Yan Jinqiu looked at the color of the sky outside. "Jun Wang Fei is reading myths and legends again?"
"This subordinate does not know what Jun Wang Fei is reading. But when we arrived at the zhengyuan, Jun Wang Fei was indeed holding a book in her hand." Mutong had originally thought that after Jun Wang Fei married over, she would take control of the household. However, in this half a month, it seemed that Jun Wang Fei did not care about anything in the fu. She also did not purposely establish her authority in front of the servants. Mutong did not understand this behavior. Which mistress of the household was not interested in the power of the houyuan?
"Since Junw.a.n.g Fei likes to read these, have people gather more books that Junw.a.n.g Fei likes to read in the study outside," Yan Jin Qiu said with a calm expression. "Don't let Junw.a.n.g Fei not be able to find books to her liking."
