Princess Consort Hengnan pulled Jiujiu's hand and sat down, patting the back of Jiujiu's hand. "You and Xiaolue are both blessed. Now that the bitterness is over, it can be considered a blessing. However, I heard that you two moved out of the Duke Zhen Estate. What happened?"
Everyone in the capital knew why Nie Lue moved out of the Duke Zhen Estate. Princess Consort Hengnan suddenly asked at this moment. If it wasn't for show, then what was?
At this point, Princess Consort Hengnan paused with an angry expression, as if the person who was kicked out was her child. This acting skill could directly win an award.
"Husband already has a family, so it's naturally inconvenient for him to continue living in the Duke Estate. It's very normal for him to move out."
Princess Consort Hengnan said so much just now to make Jiujiu believe her. Now that she asked about Jiujiu and Nie Lue moving out of the Duke Estate, she originally planned to take the opportunity to speak up for Jiujiu if Jiujiu spoke. However, she didn't expect that Jiujiu actually didn't mention it at all. She actually wanted to save face for the Duke Zhen Estate.
She originally thought that Jiujiu was only an ignorant little girl and that she could make her obedient with a little trick. However, she didn't expect her to be so stubborn. She already said this but was still pretending. It seemed like she was a tough nut to crack.
Princess Consort Hengnan sighed and patted the back of Jiujiu's hand, saying softly, "You child, you're quite honest."
Jiujiu smiled faintly but didn't speak.
Right at this moment, a maidservant's report came from outside. "Princess Consort, Miss is here."
Hearing the maidservant say that Bai Xiwan was here, Princess Consort Hengnan instantly revealed a brilliant smile. She stood up and said to Bai Xiwan who walked into the room, "Wan 'er, look who I invited here."
Bai Xiwan pretended to look at Jiujiu in confusion and asked curiously, "This is?"
"This is Xiao Lve's wife." Princess Consort Hengnan held Bai Xiwan's hand and teased, "When you and Xiao Lve were young, your aunt and I joked that you would be betrothed to Xiao Lve when you grew up. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Lve is already married. Don't you think time passes quickly?"
Bai Xiwan pretended to be shy and stomped her feet, "Mother, why are you saying this?"
Bai Xiwan looked like a young girl who had been teased by her mother. Her acting skills were not inferior to her mother's at all.
Seeing Jiujiu's bashful appearance, Duchess Consort Hengnan hurriedly covered her mouth and said to Jiujiu, "Look at my mouth, I deserve to be hit. Jiuniang, don't be angry."
Jiujiu smiled gently. "I already have a child with my husband. How can I be angry over such a groundless thing?"
Jiujiu's words caused Bai Xiwan and Princess Consort Hengnan's expressions to change.
Seeing these two people's unhappy expressions, Jiujiu curled her lips and instantly felt satisfied.
They pretended to be happy in front of her for such a long time, but she only retaliated a little and they were unhappy.
But what did it matter? They would be unhappy for so long in the future. Sooner or later, they would get used to it.
Princess Consort Hengnan restrained her temper and talked with Jiujiu for a while. After asking about Nie Wei for a while, she excused herself that she was not feeling well and tired and had Jiujiu take Bai Xiwan to the garden for a stroll.
The garden of Prince Hengnan's Manor was more magnificent than that of Duke Zhen's Manor. There were countless precious flowers and plants inside as if they were free. In addition, there were countless craftsmen who took care of them meticulously. Naturally, they were incomparably beautiful.
Seeing Jiujiu staring at a peony, Bai Xiwan said with a smile, "If you like, I can send some over."
"It's beautiful, but this concubine's courtyard is small and there are limited servants. I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of such precious flowers and plants."
Bai Xiwan said generously, "You are Nie Lve's wife, which means you are my younger sister. There's no need to be so formal with your older sister. If you like, I can send a few gardeners who know how to take care of flowers and plants over."
Jiujiu said, "A gentleman does not take what others like. Moreover, good flowers can only bloom with their unique beauty in a suitable environment and soil. If they were in another place, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to bloom with such beautiful flowers."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she moved her eyes to look at other flowers.
Bai Xiwan kept having a feeling that Jiujiu was hinting at something, but she also felt that she was being subtle. Jiujiu could not possibly know what she wanted to do, so she prepared to play the family card.
"Speaking of which, Nie Lve and I grew up together. We are even childhood sweethearts."
Jiujiu had a curious expression, "Husband has never told me that he has a childhood sweetheart."
"That's natural." Bai Xiwan naturally sat opposite Jiujiu and said with a smile, "If I have a husband, I naturally won't tell him that I have a childhood sweetheart."
"That's true, but I'm really envious."
Jiujiu looked at Bai Xiwan, her eyes clear without a trace of other emotions, "I was kept at home by my mother when I was young and never went out. I also don't have any close friends, let alone other men. I'm really envious of Miss Bai's childhood sweetheart relationship with my husband. If Miss Bai can be together with my husband, it would be a beautiful story, but it's a pity …"
When Jiujiu said this, Bai Xiwan only felt her heart thumping non-stop.
She was actually willing?
Bai Xiwan wished she could say right now, 'She's willing, she's very willing to be together with Nie Lve and create a beautiful story.'
But before she could say that, she heard Jiujiu's' it's a pity '.
"It's a pity that my husband has already married me, so he naturally can't have anything to do with Miss Bai." After Jiujiu finished speaking, she smiled proudly at Bai Xiwan, "Miss Bai won't blame me for being direct, right?"
Bai Xiwan was so angry at Jiujiu that she almost gnashed her teeth, but she could only smile on the surface, "Of course I won't blame you."
Jiujiu smiled faintly, her pink face was like peach blossoms blooming beside her cheeks, looking extremely beautiful.
After strolling around the garden, Jiujiu took the initiative to say goodbye.
When she was arguing with Jiujiu just now, Duchess Consort Hengnan also saw that Jiujiu was not someone who could be persuaded with just a few words. Seeing that Bai Xiwan also said that it was difficult to settle, she said, "Find some time to meet Nie Lve. The two of you grew up together and have a deep relationship. As long as Nie Lve agrees, are you afraid that he won't agree?"
Bai Xiwan nodded with a gloomy expression. That was the only way now.
After returning home, Jiujiu threw Duchess Consort Hengnan and Bai Xiwan to the back of her mind.
However, she didn't expect that Bai Xiwan would take the initiative to visit on the day of Nie Lve's break.
Of course, it was impossible to directly refuse, so Jiujiu could only ask the old steward to invite her in.
However, Jiujiu's eyes flickered when she saw Bai Xiwan, who was beautifully dressed.
Bai Xiwan said that she was here to visit her, but she was dressed so vibrantly that her eyes were glued to Nie Lve the moment she came in. It was unknown whether she was here to visit Jiujiu or Nie Lve.
After Bai Xiwan saw Jiujiu, she said with a smile, "Since we parted that day, I've been thinking about you in my heart. This is the snack I specially prepared for you, I hope you like it."
After Bai Xiwan finished speaking, the servant girl behind her immediately presented the snack.
Opening the box, there were more than a dozen delicately shaped snacks. Jiujiu picked one up and put it into her mouth. Not only was the snack good-looking, it was also sweet and not greasy, very delicious.
Jiujiu ate it with interest. She picked one up and stuffed it into Nie Lve's mouth, asking for praise, "Husband, is it good?"
