After Ah Tao entered the Invitation Moon Garden like Tian Mengming, she also said that it was a little beggar that Zhao Wanning picked up on the street, and when she saw that she was pitiful, she took her back to the house as a maid.

When the matter reached the eldest princess, she thought that the eldest princess would be angry, but she didn't want the eldest princess to just laugh a little, and then continue to chant in the small Buddha hall.

Picking up a little beggar from outside the mansion and returning to the house as a maid is something that Zhao Wanning can do. The eldest princess's family is big, and it's no problem to raise two little girls.

Mama Xu felt strange. The eldest princess has always shown that she doesn't like the county lord, and she doesn't like the county lord to bring back from outside the mansion and don't know the roots of the person as a maid. It stands to reason that the eldest princess should be very angry, even if the county lord does not listen to discipline now, the eldest princess has a way to make the county lord comply. But the eldest princess didn't do anything, she didn't even frown, this is not like the eldest princess's behavior.

"Mama Xu." Looking for the princess to speak suddenly.

"The old man is here, what does His Highness command?" Mama Xu asked.

"Help me up."

Mama Xu picked up the eldest princess and helped her sit down on the chair.

"Do you think it's strange?" The eldest princess sat on the chair with her eyes closed, and the Buddha beads were still wrapped around her hands, "Yes Wanning." ”

Mama Xu has been following the eldest princess for decades, and when she saw this situation, she knew that the eldest princess wanted to talk. She cooperated: "The eldest princess's attitude towards the county lord is indeed a little strange. ”

"Oh, tell me about it?" The eldest princess opened her eyes and looked up and asked.

Mama Xu thought for a while, and then said, "You have always been strict with the county lord. But the old body has been with you for so many years, and I also know that you are cold and hot. Although you are cold to the county lord on the surface, when you carry outsiders behind your back, you cherish the county lord's heart for you very much. ”

"It's just that since Miss Cousin came to take refuge, your attitude towards the county lord has changed......"

Mama Xu was a little speechless and stopped.

The eldest princess led her to sit down beside her: "You can just say it." Between you and me, what else is there to say? ”

After Mama Xu sat down, she seemed to have made up her mind: "Princess, please forgive the old man for being rude." After all, the county lord was conceived and born by you in October, I remember that when you gave birth to the county lord, it was difficult to give birth, and the midwife and the female doctor said that the probability of the child surviving was extremely small. You gave birth to her with your life. ”

"The county lord was well-behaved and cute when he was young, and he respected you very much, and he wanted your approval everywhere. It's just that because of the Marquis of Zhenbei, you have been unapologetic to the county lord since then. Actually, it's easy to say. Every time the county lord clumsily flatters you, and although you look very disgusted, you are always happy for a long time after the county lord is gone. The old body is in the eyes, you still like the county lord very much. ”

"Since Miss Biao came to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, all this has changed, and your attitude towards the county lord has also changed. The subordinates in the mansion often chew their tongues behind their backs, saying that you are better to Miss Cousin than to the county lord, so you are also a little snub to the county lord. But the county lord has a good heart, but he has never punished his subordinates. ”

"Later, the county lord and General Qi Xiao divorced, and you seem to have begun to make up for the county lord. However, this time did not last long, and he began to favor Miss Biao again and suppress the county lord. ”

"And the county lord seems to have changed his personality, his personality has changed greatly, and he will no longer run to our Qingcang Courtyard."

"You know what happened next. When Miss Cousin framed Silver Candle, the county lord was really angry. It was also from that day on, the county lord she no longer ......" Mama Xu kept observing the eldest princess's expression when she spoke, and when she saw that the eldest princess's face was getting deeper and darker, she also stopped in time.

After being silent for a long time, the eldest princess said leisurely: "It's me who I'm sorry for Ning'er." ”

Mama Xu felt puzzled, what was there to be sorry for between mother and daughter. But she just looked at the eldest princess silently and listened to what the eldest princess had to say.

The eldest princess laughed at herself: "I am indeed ashamed of Wanning......"

Mama Xu waited for a long time and didn't see the eldest princess continue to speak, and she didn't dare to urge, just thinking that the eldest princess was falling into memories.

"To tell you the truth, I do want to make up for Wanning." The eldest princess sighed, "She is already in time, and she has reached the age of marriage." The girls of this age have been married early, and no matter how much I want to keep Wanning in the mansion, she will soon marry out and leave the eldest princess's mansion. ”

"The world always says, "A married daughter spills out the water. If I really wait until Wanning gets married, I won't be able to get along with her like this every day in the future. She will have a new family, and she will call other people her mother. ”

"But you will always be the only real mother of the county lord, Your Highness."

The eldest princess smiled sadly: "I have neglected and neglected her all these years, will she still treat me as her biological mother?" ”

Mama Xu was stunned for a moment, and then rushed to the county lord's current attitude towards the eldest princess, I was afraid that she would not care about the eldest princess anymore. But she didn't dare to say it.

"That's it, let's not talk about that." The eldest princess smiled bitterly. "That is, you, I can still talk to you about my heart. For some reason, I always felt like I was trapped in a shell. ”

The eldest princess raised her eyes and looked at Mama Xu and said, "If I say that what I did to Wanning was not out of my intention, do you believe it?" ”

Mama Xu dared not believe it, she forced out an embarrassing smile: "After all, the county lord is your biological daughter, and I also believe that everything the princess does has cause and effect." ”

The eldest princess was a little emotionally excited: "Recently, I always feel as if I am being controlled. What I said and did to Wan Ning. Obviously, I didn't think so in my heart, but what I said and what I did really hurt Wanning. ”

"On the contrary, to Chen'an, I won't tell you, I just feel sorry for Chen'an, a weak woman who is lonely, and the eldest princess's mansion is just an extra pair of chopsticks, so I left her in the mansion. But for some reason, I always wanted to follow her requests. ”

Mama Xu thought that the eldest princess regretted treating Miss Biao like this, after all, the eldest princess didn't treat the county lord so well. Now I see that the county lord is cold-hearted and regrets it. She thought for a while and comforted: "Your Highness, the past has happened, and it is too late to regret it now, so it is better to cherish the present." If you really want to make up for the county lord, you might as well start now. The county lord on the left and right does not have a marriage contract yet, and he still lives in the eldest princess's mansion, and you and the county lord can also meet often to make up for the county lord. ”

The eldest princess looked at Mama Xu gratefully as if she had been suddenly awakened, "You're right. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, let's take action. ”

Dali Temple.

Zhanzhi has been following that Uncle Zhong for several days, and for some reason, Uncle Zhong hasn't gone anywhere these days, and has been nesting in the yard. During the day, he carried a rocking chair and sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun, and stayed until the evening, checking the money brought back by the children one by one.

Pei Yue was also very anxious. As the incident dragged on, the children began to live in dire straits. If it is not solved sooner, they do not know how long they will continue to live like this.

But apart from Uncle Zhong's line, he didn't know how to start.

Li Wei suddenly nodded at him: "I heard Chun Nian say that a few days ago, the county lord rescued a little beggar from the gambling house, and he was also a child in this courtyard. ”

Pei Yue is like an initiation. That's right, Zhao Wanning rescued a child in the yard that day, maybe she can know something. Even if she didn't know, then he could take the opportunity to visit the eldest princess's mansion and meet Zhao Wanning.

Zhao Wanning has not been to her shop recently, and Pei Yue has been to the bookstore and pastry shop several times under the pretense of inspection, but he has never met her by chance. The person who guarded Tian Xiaocao outside the eldest princess's mansion also said that the county lord had not gone out at all in the past few days.

Pei Yue thought that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, so it was better to go to the eldest princess's mansion today.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Pei Yue changed into a moon-white robe. In order to deal with the case, he often lived in Dali Temple recently, so he prepared a few of his regular clothes in Dali Temple.

Although the official uniform is good-looking, he always feels inappropriate when he wears the official uniform in and out of the eldest princess's mansion. Besides, Zhao Wanning once said in the previous life that she likes to see Pei Yue wearing moon-white clothes the most.

The guards at the door spread the word quickly. After getting the reply of Invite Yueyuan, Steward Wang respectfully invited Pei Yue into the mansion.

Pei Yue followed the person into the mansion with a familiar car, and walked straight in the direction of Invite Yue Yuan.

Steward Wang was stunned: "Master Pei, since you have come to our eldest princess's mansion, shouldn't you go to see the eldest princess first?" ”

Pei Yue in the previous life also respected the eldest princess because Zhao Wanning cared about the eldest princess. The eldest princess comes first in everything, and gives the eldest princess the main face everywhere. But in this life, when he learned how the eldest princess treated Zhao Wanning, he dispelled the idea of getting along with the eldest princess. He thought that since the eldest princess didn't care about Zhao Wanning, he would protect Zhao Wanning.

Pei Yue hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled modestly: "It stands to reason that the younger generation should go to meet the eldest princess first when they come to the eldest princess's mansion." It's just that Pei came here today to handle the case, and he was in a hurry, and the time was also very urgent. Another day, Pei will prepare the etiquette, and then go to see the eldest princess. ”

As soon as he heard that it was for official business, Steward Wang stopped talking and took Pei Yue in the direction of Invite Yue Yuan. I don't know if it's the illusion of Steward Wang, he always feels that Pei Yue seems to be very familiar with the road of Invite Yueyuan, more familiar than an old man who has been in the mansion for more than ten years.

Just thinking about it, I came across the silver candle that sent the treasure pavilion Jin Niang out.

"Steward Wang." Silver Candle greeted him reluctantly.

I thought it would cause Steward Wang's dislike, but I didn't want Steward Wang to talk to her with a smile.

"Silver Candle Girl, has the county lord already measured it?" There was a hint of flattery in Steward Wang's words.

Silver Candle nodded, she didn't want to have too much contact with a person like Steward Wang, who saw the wind and made the rudder high and low.

The steward Wang seemed to be unaware of her attitude, and continued: "If there is no cloth that the county lord likes in the Yueyue Garden, you can come to the treasury to have a look. The eldest princess said that the weather is getting colder, and the county lord needs to make a few more clothes. ”

"Then thank you Steward Wang."

The silver candle met Pei Yue's gaze.

Steward Wang continued: "I'll help you deliver it to the people of the Treasure Pavilion. You take Master Pei to invite Yueyuan first, Lord Pei's trip is for official business, time is pressing, don't delay. ”

Silver Candle looked at Jin Niang, then at Pei Yue, and agreed.

Pei Yue thanked Steward Wang, and then followed the silver candle to Invite Yue Yuan.

When passing by the Star Picking Tower, Pei Yue stopped and raised his eyes to look at the roof of the Star Picking Tower for a while.

In the last life, Zhao Wanning fell from the top of the building, if there is a chance, he wants to go up to check it, maybe he can find some clues.

Silver Candle thought that he was interested in picking up the star tower, so he also stopped.
