Yan Sui, who had been reading earlier, followed Jiujiu to the kitchen. He stood at the kitchen door and watched as Jiujiu washed all the ingredients before putting them into a jar and slowly stewing them.
While stewing Buddha jumps over the wall, Jiujiu used some of the ingredients that Ji Xiang sent over to make stir-fried shrimp, sweet and sour pork ribs, and pickled fish.
She cooked rice. In short, Yan Sui and Jiujiu were very satisfied with the meal.
As for the lackey Ji Xiang, when he smelled the fragrance coming from Jiujiu and Yan Sui, he looked at the food that he had packed from Huixian Restaurant. He originally thought that the food was delicious, but he instantly felt that he was eating half-heartedly.
However, he had rejected Jiujiu when she asked him to eat. Therefore, he could only pitifully eat the food that he had packed from Huixian Restaurant. Looking at the delicious food in front of Jiujiu and Yan Sui, Ji Xiang's heart was filled with tears of regret.
If he had known that Jiujiu's cooking was so delicious, he wouldn't have rejected Jiujiu's request.
When Yan Sui had eaten his fill, it was already evening. Just as Yan Sui was about to leave, Jiujiu suddenly called out to him.
Yan Sui responded and stopped. He turned around and saw Jiujiu standing behind him.
Jiujiu wasn't tall. When she stood beside Yan Sui, she was a head shorter than Yan Sui. She was extremely petite.
Yan Sui stood in front of Jiujiu like an adult looking at a child.
Jiujiu looked up and gave Yan Sui a fawning smile. She took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Yan Sui. "This little one has something to ask of the heir."
"Speak ~"
"In four hours, the heir can come to my place. Don't worry, the heir. My door is ajar. You just need to push it and it will open."
Yan Sui nodded and directly left.
Walking out of Jiujiu's room, Yan Sui's faint smile instantly turned into a thin layer of ice. He looked at Ji Xiang and said in a casual tone, "I have been staying at Huixian Restaurant today."
Yan Sui's tone was casual, but Ji Xiang heard the hidden meaning. If she dared to say that Yan Sui had come to Jiujiu's place, she definitely wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Ji Xiang quickly followed Yan's words. "Lord, you have been staying at Huixian Restaurant today."
When Yan Sui returned to the manor, the King and wangfei immediately called him to the main hall.
Looking at the indifferent Yan Sui, wang fei asked with a face full of smiles, "What is the surname of the girl who received the hairpin?"
Actually, what the Princess Consort really wanted to ask was, which girl did the hairpin go to? How old was the girl, and what did she look like?
However, it would be too straightforward to ask these questions directly, so the Princess Consort used such a roundabout way of asking.
If Yan Sui answered, she would be able to deduce which family this young lady was from based on her surname. She would then be able to prepare the betrothal gifts and send the betrothal gifts.
She didn't know if Gaozong was anxious to have a great-grandchild, but she was also anxious to have a great-grandchild.
The wangye who had wanted to ask Yan Sui who had sent the hairpin silently praised wangfei in his heart. His wife was great. She had asked everything he wanted to know in one sentence.
Yan Sui: "Her surname is Xiao."
Her surname was Xiao. As for whether it was a girl or not, it had nothing to do with him.
Hearing the surname Xiao, wangfei, who had been smiling just now, instantly felt troubled.
There weren't many noble ladies in the capital who had a name and a surname of suitable age, but there wasn't a single one with the surname Xiao. Could it be that Yan Sui didn't like noble ladies, but commoner ladies?
Wangfei's beautiful brows were tightly knitted. She thought to herself. Although she wasn't someone who was rigid about matching in terms of social status, if Yan Sui liked, he could marry a commoner lady. However, commoner ladies' etiquette and gifts were naturally out of the question. The position of heir consort was out of the question, but a secondary consort was still possible.
However, when she thought about how this was the first time Yan Sui liked a girl in his youth and even personally went to her private storage to choose the hairpin, it could be seen how much Yan Sui liked this girl. If she was only willing to give her the position of secondary consort, if Yan Sui got angry and went to Gaozong, even if she did it for Yan Sui's sake, it would be hard for her to say anything.
Just as wangfei was extremely vexed over the surname Xiao, Yan Sui directly turned and left.
When wangfei was almost done thinking, she turned around and discovered that Yan Sui had already left. Only the King of Zhennan was left in the main hall, thinking hard like her.
Wangfei, "…"
She felt that they had been tricked.
After tricking his father and mother, Yan Sui directly brought Ji Xiang to his courtyard.
Ji Xiang followed behind Yan Sui. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but was afraid that Yan Sui would get angry. He opened and closed his mouth several times before finally saying, "Heir Consort, if the prince and wangfei knew that you gave the hairpin to Master Xiao, I'm afraid they would be very angry."
Giving the hairpin to a man, not only would they be angry, they would simply go crazy from anger.
His son, who was still unmarried in his twenties, actually liked a man. Who would be happy?
Yan Sui coldly glanced at Ji Xiang, "If you and I don't say it, how would they know?"
The implication was that if they knew, it would definitely be you who said it.
Ji Xiang, "… It's fine if you don't say it, but if the prince and wangfei ask me, I …"
Yan Sui, "You can try saying it …"
Ji Xiang's heart was especially hurt.
He was a servant. If the prince insisted on asking, he could only say it. However, he was also Yan Sui's manservant. If he said it, the prince and wangfei would at most say a few words about him. As for him, he would be ruthlessly dealt with by Yan Sui.
This was no longer a case of being inhumane. It was simply a case of having a wolf in front and a tiger behind.
When Ouyang Pinting returned to the Ouyang residence, Lady Ouyang and Lord Ouyang had already eaten lunch.
She was also used to Lady Ouyang and Lord Ouyang not waiting for her, so she directly went to her courtyard. After eating the lunch sent by the maidservant, Ouyang Pinting started to think about how to deal with Jiujiu.
No matter what, even if Jiujiu was dressed as a man now, with her face that was extremely similar to Lady Ouyang's, she naturally could not continue to stay in the capital.
But looking at Jiujiu's great reputation, it was impossible to drive her out. Therefore, she had to get rid of Jiujiu as soon as possible.
It was best to eliminate the source of trouble.
But, when should she make her move?
What method should she use?
Ouyang Pinting thought over and over again about how she should deal with Jiujiu and what method she should use to deal with Jiujiu. As she thought about it, she suddenly thought of the Gu Poison she got a short time ago and instantly had an idea.
Last month, Li Yan 'er, the young lady of the Li family, took away the jewelry she liked in Ruyi Pavilion because her father was the prime minister. Ouyang Pinting took the opportunity to drink tea and put the Gu Poison in Miss Li. Some time ago, she heard from Lu Liu that Li Yan' er was gaining more than ten kilograms a day. Now she looked more like a pig than a human. Her body was simply like a wall.
And it was the kind that was airtight.
Servants were like their masters. Ouyang Pinting was not a good person, so was Lu Liu. Her description of Li Yan 'er was simply trampling on Li Yan' er and grinding her hard several times.
