Chapter 362: Turning the Face and Not Admitting It
finally got Mrs. Cui's permission and returned home in the carriage of Cui's house. The old servant opened the door and welcomed her and Star Swirl in, and was about to enter the main house to report, but Luo Qianhuai stopped him.
From the courtyard, the lights in the main house were much brighter than usual, and it was obvious that Cai Wei lit a few more candles in order to celebrate Jing Yuan's escape.
Before Luo Qianhuai reached the door, he heard the voice from inside:
"Ah Weng and Auntie, you can also taste it, these dishes and snacks are so delicious, Qin'er has never eaten such delicious food. By the way, do you want to leave a little for your sister? She bought all the things back, but we didn't wait for her to eat together, isn't it good? Ah Qin's voice was very crisp.
"Your sister was invited by the Cui family, and she must be indispensable for a bite to eat." Cai Wei said with a smile: "Ah Qin is really a polite little lady. β
Jing Yuan's voice also sounded: "The dishes in this Yaoxing Tower are indeed delicious, even the imperial chef in the palace may not be able to make them, but there is one thing that is not good, it is too expensive." β
"This is actually what the concubine is worried about." Cai Wei sighed and said: "Yin Yin has been growing up outside, I haven't raised her for a day, she refuses to call me my mother, and I can't blame her." β
"The concubine also knows that she showed up outside to help people see a doctor before, and she got a lot of consultation money, and this money has nothing to do with the concubine at all, but she should also know that she is frugal and can't spend so lavishly."
Seeing that Jing Yuan was silent and didn't answer, Cai Wei softened her tone again and continued: "I have never been to a place like Xingxinglou, and I have only heard that a random dish there can cost one or two thousand yuan. You can also see the six dishes tonight at two o'clock, they are all sea and land delicacies, maybe it will cost tens of thousands of dollars. β
When Jing Yuan heard this, he finally opened his mouth: "Yin Yin is also a piece of filial piety."
The concubine understood, and she didn't mean to blame Yin Yin. I'm just worried that she doesn't know how to run a family and will suffer a big loss in the future. She raised her eyes and looked at Jing Yuan, and said, "What's more, husband, you are out of great trouble, and it is time to work hard." If you are dragged down by your family at this time, won't you be wronged? β
Jing Yuan raised his head and looked at her: "What do you say?" β
"How much can my husband have in a year, where can I afford to eat that Yaoxing Tower? If Yin Yin goes a few more times and is recognized by others, she may think that your husband is greedy for money. At that time, even if you are upright, how can you block the mouths of others? β
"Madame's right." Jing Yuan nodded and said, "When Yin Yin comes back, I will teach her a good life." She is still young, but if she knows what is powerful, she will not do it again. β
His words were even worse than what Cai Wei wanted to achieve.
"Husband, the concubine is thinking that since Yin Yin has gone home to live for a long time, why don't you let her hand over all her wealth and wealth to the concubine to take care of. The concubine didn't have any other intentions, she just thought that before she got married, she would teach her to be the director of the house, and by the way, buy some more land, wouldn't it be better than letting her spend it indiscriminately? β
"You've got a heart." Jing Yuan was very embarrassed: "Her mother went early, it's rare that you are willing to treat her like this." When Yin Yin came back, I told her that she would be grateful."
The halfway couple sang and sang together, and Star Swirl was annoyed when she heard it, but Luo Qianhuai smiled indifferently and pushed the door open.
"Yin Yin, are you back?" Cai Wei was slightly stunned, and then greeted with a smile: "Why did you come back so late, but you have eaten food in Cui's Mansion?" β
Star Swirl hurriedly replied, "The eldest lady is worried that the family will be safe today, so she specially resigned from Mrs. Cui's banquet and rushed back, and she is still hungry!" β
Cai Wei's face changed slightly, and before she could speak, Ah Qin over there rushed over in a hurry: "Sister, sit down, these dim sum Ah Qin is reluctant to eat after only tasting one piece of everything, I have to wait for my sister to come along!" β
Lu'er hurriedly went to get new dishes and invited Luo Qianhuai to take a seat.
Luo Qianhuai didn't mention what he had just heard, he just looked at Jing Yuan and said, "Congratulations on Ah Weng's safe return." β
"yes." Jing Yuan said with emotion: "Who would have thought that Zhang Shiyuan would take the whole thing by himself? β
As he spoke, he said to Luo Qianhuai: "Yin Yin, Ah Weng doesn't know where you went to find the way last night, although you didn't use it, you have to go over and thank you, and do your best to save face." β
Jing Yuan only thought that Zhang Shiyuan suddenly found out in his conscience, and he couldn't bear to drag him into the water, and he didn't think that Luo Qianhuai would be behind his back.
Of course, Luo Qianhuai's words were so conclusive yesterday, and he also believed that she must have begged someone, as for who it was, although he didn't know what he said in his mouth, his heart was like a mirror.
The news that Luo Qianhuai had saved Feng'anhou had spread in Xijing, and many people congratulated him today, including several ministers who had never looked at him properly. Everyone can see that as long as His Majesty sits on the dragon chair for a day, Feng Anhou, as the only male in his mother's family, will be prominent one day, and his relationship will be immeasurable, who doesn't envy him for finding such a good girl?
Luo Qianhuai pursed his lips secretly. She didn't expect that the scumbag father would be scumbag to this extent, and he refused to admit it just after escaping.
"Could it be that Ah Weng forgot what he promised his daughter last night?" She reminded: "I helped Ah Weng to be safe and sound, and Ah Weng allowed me to marry independently. Today, Ah Weng has been rescued from a big disaster, but he flatly denies that it is his daughter's work, doesn't he want to regret it? β
Jing Yuan didn't expect Luo Qianhuai to talk to him like this.
"Yin Yin, don't make trouble." He frowned: "Ah Weng was able to escape today, and it was indeed not you who could intervene." As for the autonomy of marriage, it has never been said in ancient times, and last night was just a random response in a hurry, and it should not be taken seriously at all. β
Luo Qianhuai only felt that a wave of anger rushed up from the bottom of his heart. The words of Mo Gongzi in the day were repeatedly replayed in her mind at this moment, and his sense of certainty that everything was under control at that time seemed to have foreseen Jing Yuan's attitude.
"Could it be that to this day, Ah Weng still wants to push Yin Yin out and take someone as a concubine?" She said coldly.
Cai Wei looked at Jing Yuan, whose face sank, and then at Luo Qianhuai, who was full of cold faces, and interjected with a smile: "Yin Yin, how can I talk to you like this, and don't you apologize quickly?" β
"Wei Niangzi." Luo Qianhuai didn't settle accounts with her, and when she saw someone taking the initiative to send it to the door at this time, she naturally wouldn't let it go easily:
"Since you know that you are not my biological mother, and that you are not good at self-control, then you should not be too lenientβmy dowry does not need you to bother, just as marriage does not require you to take care of it."
Cai Wei was choked by such a straightforward sentence. In her past career in the palace, she has seen many nobles, who is not a group of harmonious people on the surface, but behind them they show their magical powers? But his stepdaughter is so straightforward, but it's the first time I've seen it.
Because of this, she didn't even come up with a way to deal with it for a while, so she had to look at Jing Yuan.
