Chapter 13: The Handle
In a certain courtyard on Cuifeng Mountain, the air in the house was a little depressing, and the owner was in a bad mood, and he didn't even dare to gasp for breath with his subordinates inside and out.
As the saying goes, if people don't know, they can't do anything unless they do, and at this moment, Du Juan'er's personal maid is standing on one side, and her head is so low that she can't see her face. She went to buy some things at the behest of her master today, and when she passed by Luohuating, she saw the eldest lady Du Yan, and she knew that her master regarded Du Yan as a thorn in the flesh, so she quickly found a corner to hide. She watched Du Yan in horror, but saw Xiao Yechen, the third prince leaning on the pillar! Du Yan was actually with the third prince. The little maid who saw this scene hurriedly ran back to the courtyard and informed her master of the incident.
Du Juan'er leaned on the side of the bed in her underwear, the expression on her face was unpredictable, so frightened that the personal maid didn't dare to speak, and stood aside conscientiously.
"This slut." Du Juan'er opened her mouth to say a vicious and cruel word, she seemed to be angry to death now, and her whole person trembled.
This Du Yan is really capable, she just ran to see the third prince after hooking up with the tenth princess on the front foot, she was busy enough! Du Juan'er thought of this and swept away the shelf next to her, the things on the shelf crackled and fell to the ground, she seemed to feel incomprehensible and slammed the pillow to the ground, and the poor embroidered pillow was ruined in vain.
The maid was too frightened to say anything, so she had to slowly clean up the mess in the house.
"You said you saw Du Yan and the third prince together? What else are they doing but talking? Du Juan'er glared at the maid on the ground with a fierce face, and the maid shook her hand and raised her head.
"No, nothing. The slave saw that the third prince did not dare to stay, so he hurried back. The maid whispered, for fear that Du Juan'er would be unhappy and let her get out and kneel.
Du Juan'er lifted the quilt and anxiously paced back and forth in the room. Xiao Yechen actually let Du Yan hook up? Wouldn't Du Yan marry the third prince? Among the current princes, the six princes have been demoted, and now there are only three princes, Xiao Yechen, who is still favored by the emperor. If Du Yan is really allowed to succeed, won't he always be trampled under Du Yan's feet? She really underestimated Du Yan, she didn't expect that damn woman to be so calculating.
Du Juan'er will never let this happen so easily, she must not let Du Yan and Xiao Yechen be together, but what should she do.
Early the next morning.
Du Yan stretched her waist in the big sun, she was really busy yesterday, she had to accompany the princess during the day and Xiao Yechen at night. Xiao Lu put the beaten warm water on the shelf and waited for Du Yan to wash.
Du Yan waved her hand and withdrew from the maid, and got it up herself, somehow, after she was reborn, she didn't like to be served very much. always felt that everything was done by herself, so as not to die and expect to be saved by someone.
Xiao Lu didn't say anything when she was withdrawn, but just prepared breakfast for Du Yan respectfully.
After Du Yan finished washing, she sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and waited for Xiao Lu, today's sun was really good, and she was warm all over her body. Today she wore a pale yellow dress embroidered with dark or light leaves, which made her fall and graceful. Du Yan casually pulled herself into a bun, and her long black hair was tied up high, adding a faint heroic spirit to Du Yan.
As soon as Xiao Lu put the food away, there was a noise at the gate of the courtyard, and Du Yan raised her hand to let Xiao Lu check it. In less than half a minute, Xiao Lu came back in a hurry, and before Du Yan could ask anything, she saw her father come in with a group of people.
Du Yan didn't know what the big deal was, so she had to bow to her father.
"The daughter has seen her father." Du Yan raised her head and glanced at the He mother and daughter who were following behind her.
"No restraint, for the Father has come today only to see you." The prime minister raised his hand and waved his hand, and pardoned Du Yan's gift.
"Father, please take a seat." Du Yan got up and led her father to his seat, while she sat aside. Xiao Lu, who was waiting next to him, was almost frightened by this battle.
"Is this just eating?" Du Chuanlin looked at the food on the table and nodded at Du Yan.
"Yes, father, I don't know if my father ate it. Do you want to eat with your daughter? Du Yan still held etiquette and behaved elegantly towards Du Chuanlin.
"No, I just finished eating. Yan'er, how is your life in Cuifeng Mountain recently? If you need anything, you have to tell your father. Du Chuanlin patted Du Yan's hand, looking like a loving father. Du Yan couldn't help but shudder when she looked at him, she was not curious about Du Chuanlin's intention now, on the other hand, it was the He mother and daughter behind Du Chuanlin.
Du Juan'er looked arrogant, and Aunt He was even more in a state of watching a good show, which made Du Yan puzzled, what good tricks did they think of to deal with her? The thick layer of powder on their faces couldn't hide their villainous faces.
Du Yan smiled, it was still the posture of Mount Tai collapsing in front of me, Du Juan'er, a big-chested and brainless woman, couldn't afford any wind and waves.
Du Yan thought of this and asked Xiao Lu beside her to make a pot of tea. She got up and poured a glass for her father, then a glass for herself. Du Yan scraped the teacup with the lid of the cup, and her eyes were stained with a little mist.
"Father can rest assured, Yan'er is fine."
Du Chuanlin seemed to be satisfied with her answer, or maybe he was polite enough, he pushed the teacup in slightly. looked at his eldest daughter Du Yan quietly. He was aware of Du Yan's sudden change in temperament, although he didn't know the reason for Du Yan's change, but he was also happy that his daughter could cheer up.
"You were with the princess yesterday, did you serve the princess well?" Du Yan raised her head after hearing the question, her expression was full of clarity.
"Let my father worry, Yan'er has done her duty and has not exceeded it."
"Well, that's good. What did you talk about with the princess? Du Chuanlin asked again, it was a bit scrutinizing, Du Yan was neither humble nor arrogant, and still chatted with her father naturally.
"I just talked about some scenery and food, and told the princess about folk anecdotes." Could it be that Du Chuanlin is here to ask? But just like that, it won't be that the He family's mother and daughter will also come to join in the fun, so that a tenth princess will make them tremble. Du Yan couldn't help but doubt the short-sightedness of He's mother and daughter in her heart.
Just as Du Chuanlin was about to speak again, and Du Yan was about to take it, it was a coincidence that there was another voice outside the door.
"Ten Princesses to ——!"
