Guixiang called Qi Yanhui over, and the three of them waited in the flower hall in the front yard, and after more than half an hour, Qi Zhi had not yet appeared.

Minxiu said impatiently: "Guixiang, go and see, whether my father has come back or not, it's almost noon, he won't forget it." ”

Liu Shuhui was also a little irritable, "What's the hurry, your father must have been delayed, he will definitely remember to return today." ”

This is said to Minxiu, more like saying it to herself.

After another moment, Liu Shuhui asked someone to call Steward Chen.

As soon as Steward Chen entered the door, he saluted respectfully and said, "I've seen the princess." ”

Liu Shuhui twisted his eyebrows: "You told me, where did the prince go?" Why haven't you come back yet? ”

Steward Chen was embarrassed: "This, the old slave doesn't know, only knows that the prince went out early in the morning, as for where to go and when to return, the old slave doesn't know." ”

"You don't know? Who told you to prepare the things at the door? ”

"What the prince ordered at the beginning of the year was that it was a return gift for Concubine Cao."

Liu Shuhui's face changed greatly, "What? Concubine Cao's return gift? ”

Min Xiu said in a sharp voice: "Impossible, it was obviously prepared by my father for my mother, you old slave dare to talk nonsense." ”

Qi Yanhui was puzzled: "Who is Concubine Cao?" ”

Qi Yanhui came back with him, and he was a man again, and no one talked nonsense in front of him, because he didn't know what happened in the house.

It's just that no one can solve his puzzles.

At this moment, Liu Fu sent someone to ask why his aunt and grandmother hadn't gone back yet.

Liu Shuhui took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Qi Yanhui said: "Mother, if my father doesn't return, let's go by ourselves!" ”

Liu Shuhui was helpless, but he could only take his two children to go first.

At this time, Qi Zhi was in Cao's courtyard, he was too lazy to deal with Liu Shuhui, and it was impossible to take care of her face anymore, so he wronged himself, so he let the housekeeper say that he went out.

Cao's back injury gradually healed, and now he can sit.

When he heard about this, he said, "Lord Wang, it's not good to do this!" ”

Qi Zhi didn't care, "There's nothing wrong, the gift has been prepared, can you still do it?" ”

"Gifts?"

Cao's was puzzled, Qi Zhi said: "Now you are the side concubine, although you have not yet been on the jade, the imperial brother is there, but he also knows, just wait for the opening of the dynasty to be titled, the princess will return to the door, and the side concubine will naturally return to the door, but I don't know your body ......."

Cao Shi was a little stunned, since Liu Shuhui wanted her life and harmed Xiaoyuan, she was not the kind Guanyin Bodhisattva, and she hated her very much in her heart.

It's just that even if there is a grudge, what she wants is revenge for herself, and she never thought of using Qi Zhi, just because she knows that Qi Zhi is true love for Liu Shuhui.

It's just that today's Qi Zhi surprised her.

Seeing that the Cao family didn't speak, Qi Zhi said again: "This king doesn't go back with the princess, just thinking that this is the first time you have returned to the door for so many years, and you have injuries on your body, so I will go back with you to have a look." ”

Cao's lips moved slightly, and he lowered his head sharply to hide his reddish eyes.

After a while, calming down the emotions in his heart, Cao Shi raised his head and said with a firm gaze: "Thank you for the prince's compassion, the concubine can." ”

As he spoke, he asked the girl Chunya to come in and dress her.

Although the injuries all over her body are not healed, this is the first time she has been in the palace for seventeen years, and she can go home openly, no matter what Qi Zhi is promoting her for, she doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

When Liu Shuhui and Niang arrived at Liu's house, they saw everyone in the Liu family, including three daughters-in-law who were supposed to return to the door, several granddaughters-in-law, and a lot of them waiting at the door.

Since Liu Shuhui married the prince, the day when these people returned to the door automatically became the third year of junior high school.

Seeing that the car had arrived, the clever third aunt greeted her first.

"My sister is back, but I came back late this year, but what's the delay?"

"Minxiu too, I haven't seen her for half a year, and she's grown so tall, it's really slim and cute."

"There is also Yan Hui, who is old and serious, not very old, but he is much more promising than the two in our family......"

One mouth praised the three of them.

As she spoke, she saw that only Liu Shuhui got out of the car three times, looked back at the car, and the smiling face of the third aunt froze.

Tentatively asked, "The prince didn't come back together?" ”

Liu Shuhui was already in a bad mood, and as soon as they met, he was exposed, and his attitude naturally cooled down.

Minxiu said: "My father has something to do, so I can't come here this year." ”

The third aunt didn't know what to say, and the calm aunt came over and said: "What kind of person is the prince, it is already a great honor to be able to take time out of your busy schedule to come to our Liu Mansion to sit, and it is normal to have no time for the occasional year." ”

Seeing that her sister-in-law relieved her, Liu Shuhui's face finally looked better.

After greeting everyone, the group entered the gate of Liu's mansion and walked towards the old lady's courtyard, and Liu Shuhui and the three of them were surrounded in the middle.

A few cousins who are about the same age as Minxiu keep talking to her, saying that the beads on her head are beautiful, and at the same time saying that the clothes on her body are exquisite, and the words are all compliments and envy.

Seeing that the people of her grandfather's family had the same attitude towards her as before, Minxiu breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile.

It's just that arrogant attitude, and a look of ignoring it.

Qi Zhi came to Cao's Mansion with the Cao family, and Lord Cao was just the seven-grade editor of the Hanlin Academy, because his temperament was too upright, and he was stubborn and refused to tie up with his boss, so he stayed in this compilation for 20 years and didn't move.

Such a family, it is foreseeable that the days will be tight, there are two brothers above the Cao family, although they are honest, they don't have any great skills, they are the daughter-in-law who married the Cao family after entering the palace, and the two daughters-in-law thought that the Cao family had a relationship with the palace, so the good days are far away?

Who knew that the Cao family didn't even fight when they entered the palace, and then they cut off the news, which they couldn't borrow at all, and the two hated that they had seen the wrong people, and they didn't have a good face for their mother-in-law and father-in-law all day long.

It's not a big day, and it's the second day of the Lunar New Year.

"You old pious woman, today is the day when the married girl returns to the door, and you told me that you have no money, so you made it clear that you won't give me face, right......?"

"That is, don't you have a daughter who is a concubine for the prince, if you go to her and ask for it, I won't believe it, during the New Year, my mother will come to the door, and she will be reluctant to give you a thousand taels of silver."

"Didn't you go out a few days ago just to see her go, what? I didn't see anyone, or people didn't recognize you at all......"

"Enough ......"

At this time, a man's voice stopped the two of them.

The two were stunned for a moment, and the quarrel became even more fierce, "Cao Yan, what are you shouting?" If you have the ability, you can take the money out, the official with a big fart, you can't even afford to support your family, and you still have the face to shout at me......"

The quarrel in the courtyard penetrated Cao's ears word for word.

There is also Qi Zhi by his side, and the Cao family is ashamed and annoyed.

It's embarrassing that Qi Zhi knows that her family is unbearable, and she is annoyed that her two sisters-in-law actually treated her parents like this.
