Chapter 407: Rotten Peach Blossoms!
"Madam?!" the mother-in-law's body trembled, and she raised her eyes to look at Murong Huan with apprehension and uneasiness in her eyes.
"Mom means to say, if I don't immediately give this Liu family an answer on behalf of my husband, then I will be a person who is not easy to get along with? Or do I simply say bluntly, if I don't agree to celebrate the New Year with them, I will not be able to get along?" Murong Huan's face was no longer smiling at this moment, his eyes were sharp, staring at the woman, making her feel a chill in her back.
"Madam, the old body definitely doesn't mean this......" The mother-in-law panicked for a while, not knowing how to respond. In her impression, this lady is an extremely good talker, why is she so abnormal today? How did she know that this is not a matter of being good at talking at all, but that Murong Huan feels that she and Mr. Jiu are just fake husband and wife, how can she make decisions over the cooking of the substitute cook.
"Mom, what do you mean, who is the master in this Zhuangzi?" Xiaoqin couldn't help but interject, "It stands to reason that my mother is also an old man, and she should also know the rules.
"It's the old man who has trespassed, and I ask my wife for forgiveness. The mother-in-law's face turned red and white, and she quickly apologized.
"It's nothing, it's not a big deal, I'll still say the same thing, wait for my husband to come back. Murong Huan's expression was faint, he glanced at his mother-in-law, and he didn't want to ask anything more.
"The old man went down first, and Madame, please eat. The mother-in-law raised her hand to wipe away the cold sweat, lifted the curtain and withdrew.
"This mother usually talks about the rules, why is something wrong today?" Xiaoqin sat down next to Murong Huan with Yourong in her arms, and lowered her voice, "Princess, don't worry about it." The people on Zhuangzi haven't seen much of the world, honestly, maybe she doesn't mean to bump into you. ”
"I wasn't angry, I just thought she was hiding something from me. Murong Huan looked at Ah Ming, "Sit down and eat." ”
"Princess, do you know who the Liu family is?" Ah Ming sat down, but his face was a little unpleasant.
"What's the matter? What's the saying here?" Murong Huan was stunned for a moment, "Tell me about it." ”
"Princess, today I went to the town with the people in the Zhuangzi to buy New Year's goods, and I played with them at noon, and I also met the people from the Zhuangzi next door, and then I knew that Mr. Jiu's Zhuangzi was also the asset of the Liu family. That Liu is a widow, very young and beautiful, not long after the door the man died of illness, these years has been guarding the few Zhuangzi left by the late husband to live, life is also peaceful. ”
"A few years ago, Mr. Jiu somehow fell in love with this Zhuangzi, and sent people to talk several times, but Liu refused to sell it. Later, Mr. Nine went to find Liu in person, but Liu agreed immediately. After Mr. Jiu bought the Zhuangzi, he didn't come often, and the people in the Zhuangzi, including the housekeepers, were still the same people as when the Liu family was in charge. However, everyone gradually spread that the reason why Liu agreed to sell Zhuangzi to Mr. Nine was because she fell in love with Mr. Nine and intended to be a concubine for Mr. Jiu. ”
"It is said that every time Mr. comes to Zhuangzi, Liu will find all kinds of excuses to come and meet Mr. I heard from those farmers that Liu was restless when he learned that Mr. was sick, but he was afraid that his wife would see her thoughts, so he kept holding back and did not dare to come. Later, for some reason, she heard that Mrs. was very talkative, so she came up with such an idea, if she wanted to celebrate the New Year with Zhuangzi here, and test the attitude of Mrs. and Mr. After Ah Ming finished speaking, he looked at Murong Huan.
"It turned out to be a rotten peach blossom. Murong Huan shrugged his shoulders, disappreciated, reached out and grabbed his favorite dish, and buried his head in eating.
"A widow [village heart] sprout?!" On the contrary, Xiaoqin was a little uncalm, "It's just shameless! If she has an idea, why should she come to the princess to find her husband? Could it be that a woman like her who recommends herself for a pillow mat, which lady can generously tolerate her? No wonder the woman is talking hesitantly, it turns out that she is covering for her! I want to hide from the world and let the princess recruit this [fox surprise] without knowing it!"
"Don't blame that woman, didn't you hear Ah Ming say that they were all people under the Liu family before? Maybe the Liu family was still good to these villagers at the beginning, so the mother-in-law would help her speak. Murong Huan knocked on Xiaoqin's bowl, "Eat quickly, is it necessary to be angry? People are here for Mr., and I'm just a fake wife, why bother with such a thing?"
"Although it's acting, it's obviously you who Mr. cares about!" Xiaoqin pursed her mouth, "This kind of woman who takes the initiative to send it to the door is the most annoying, and she is a widow!"
"What's wrong with the widow? Widows can't pursue true love?" Murong Huan smiled, stretched out his hand to fill a bowl of soup for Xiaoqin, "Don't you like Mr. very much?Why are you so excited?!"
"Who said I don't like Mr. anymore?" Xiaoqin hurriedly pleaded, "I think Mr. is very good now, he is a very good person, even better than Master Sumen." If you choose Mr. Princess, I will support it!"
"You girl, I don't know what you're thinking all day long!" The chopsticks in Murong Huan's hand knocked on the head of the small violin, "Eat quickly!"
"Princess, I see that these two Zhuangzi villagers have a good impression of the Liu family, and they seem to hope that this thing can be done. Ah Ming's words were faintly worried, "And it is said that the Liu family was born in a large family, and she was married because of the middle of the family, she was newly married and widowed, but she took care of several Zhuangzi very well, and the people under her were very obedient to her, and even the people in her ex-husband's family seemed to be very respectful to her." It is said that when she got married, her in-laws were old, and there was a minor brother-in-law, she had been filial to her in-laws all these years, and she only sent the second elder to the end last year. And that little uncle now simply treats her as the eldest sister and respects her very much. ”
"This widow is not simple, she is very good at buying people's hearts. Xiaoqin sighed again when she heard this.
"yes, I'm thinking that if she really fell in love with Mr. Nine, I'm afraid she wouldn't let go so easily. She has been widowed for so many years, and she must want to find someone to rely on for herself. Since she is a young lady from a big family, she must definitely refuse to marry a banker, and she finally meets a satisfactory person, how can she give up lightly?" Ah Ming looked at Murong Huan, and there was a little worry in his eyes. Although he knew that the prince had a deep love for the princess, but now that the two finally had the opportunity to be together, they ran out of such a woman to stir up the situation, which is really worry-free.
"I said you were all unfounded. To put it bluntly, the key is in Mr. Nine, not me. I'm just Mr.'s nominal wife, if Mr. really looks at her, can I stop it?" Murong Huan smiled faintly, "Besides, Mr.'s family affairs are already tricky, and it's not good to say whether he can go back to Zhuangzi for the New Year's Festival, why do you have to bear this heart?"
"The princess said the same, if Mr. Nine liked her, I'm afraid he would have pushed the boat along the river and answered her. This woman obviously saw that she couldn't impress her husband, so she thought about pleasing Madame, and asked Madame to take the initiative to take a concubine for Mr., what a fool!" Xiaoqin also figured it out at once, and her mood instantly improved, and she ate happily.
"That's true. Ah Ming didn't want to say more, so he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, princess, I went to that town today to inquire, and someone has indeed come to look for someone with a portrait of Miss Qiu recently, I guess they should have also been here in this Zhuangzi, but we usually spend a lot of time in the house, so we may not have paid attention." ”
"It seems that Leng Yuchen's people are looking for us everywhere, so be careful. These spirit beasts must not show their true colors, so as not to be recognized. Murong Huan frowned and looked at the Huo Xuan on the side.
"Yes, we have to be more careful with this paragraph. Amin nodded, and began to eat.
As soon as the three of them finished eating, the housekeeper pulled the mother-in-law and walked in from outside the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he pulled the mother-in-law to kneel down for Murong Huan, "Madam, my woman is not sensible, she bumped into Madame, please forgive Madame!"
Murong Huan immediately gave Xiaoqin and Ah Ming a look, and the two walked out with Yourong, except for Huo Xuan, the other spirit beasts also walked out.
"What are you going to do here, get up and talk!" Murong Huan got up and went to help the housekeeper and the mother-in-law, but the two of them said nothing.
"The old body was really confused just now, and I ask Mrs. for forgiveness. The woman knelt there with her head bowed, making it difficult to see her expression, but the words clearly sounded with a hint of grievance.
Seeing this, Murong Huan didn't bother to help, turned around and sat back, drank tea with a tea cup, and didn't say a word for a long time.
The housekeeper and mother-in-law saw that Murong Huan stopped talking, and their hearts went up and down, secretly raised their eyes to look at Murong Huan, and glanced at each other again, obviously unable to make up their minds.
"Madame......" was silent for a long time, and the housekeeper finally gnawed, "Please also ask Madame to punish!"
"So you still know that I am a lady. Murong Huan put down the teacup in his hand and looked directly at the two people in front of him, "I thought you didn't recognize me as a master in your hearts." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, we've always respected Madame!" the butler looked terrified, and at the same time glared fiercely at his own woman.
"Since you treat me as a lady, why don't you listen to what I say?" Murong Huan's voice was a little cold, "I have already told you to get up, but you insist on kneeling, is this to make everyone think that I am very harsh on my subordinates?"
"Madam, that's not what you mean......" The butler quickly shook his head.
"Then why don't you get up yet?" Murong Huan's voice revealed a bit of majesty that had never been seen before, which suddenly made the couple feel an invisible coercion, and hurriedly stood up hand in hand. R1154
