Only Young Master Zhao knew in his heart that his cousin had never cared about him. He almost lost his life before, but his cousin didn't even blink. Because she knew that as long as she could successfully marry into Prince Mo's palace, the Zhao family would not
To embarrass her. The elders of the clan have long disliked him, and have repeatedly discussed with his father that Xu'er should inherit the family business. If the head of the family does not change, the clan will choose someone else.
Even if he pretended to be himself, his sincerity towards his cousin was not fake. After seeing through his cousin's scheming, he felt very sad. In fact, he had already discovered his cousin's plan when he was in the teahouse.
He did not expose his cousin, but wanted to see what his cousin wanted to do. After King Mo arrested him, he knew that in his cousin's heart, apart from glory and wealth, he meant nothing to His Highness King Mo.
But her cousin didn't think so. She felt that no matter how she treated him, he would return to her cousin.
It's a pity that his cousin made a miscalculation and he let her go a long time ago. He liked his cousin not just because of her beauty. In his heart, his cousin was kind and gentle, and he wanted to stay by his cousin's side and protect her silently. Only later did he know
, my cousin is a ruthless person who will use any means to achieve his goals.
Ever since he came back, his cousin has been trying to get close to him. It's not that his cousin misses their friendship, it's because he wants to take advantage of him. Although he doesn't know what his cousin has planned, he will never be fooled this time.
"Careless, is this pastry delicious?" Mr. Zhao asked.
"Of course it's delicious. It tastes just like the teahouse we had in Licheng." He said carelessly.
"Can it be different? They are all the same boss." Mr. Zhao said.
"That's it." He said carelessly.
"Careless, my cousin wants to get close to me, there must be a reason. I know she wants to continue to use me, but there are still some things I can't figure out." Mr. Zhao said.
"She has already decided to get married to Prince Rong, how else does she want to use you?" He said carelessly.
"This is what I can't figure out. If she succeeds in becoming Prince Mo's Mansion, she may need the help of the Zhao family. But now that the person she is going to marry is the heir apparent, what else does she want to do?" Mr. Zhao asked.
Da Yi asked doubtfully: "Young Master, even if Miss Cousin really succeeds in entering Prince Mo's Mansion, why do you think that His Highness Prince Mo can become the future crown prince? I think that the one with the best chance is His Highness Pluto. I also want to
I don’t understand, how could I turn around and marry the crown prince when I’m obviously full of ambition?" He said carelessly.
He didn't tell Da Yi that Yue'er was pregnant, so Da Yi was confused.
When he heard that Yue'er was pregnant, he knew why Yue'er agreed to her marriage to the Crown Prince. She must have tried to plot against King Mo but failed, but the Crown Prince succeeded.
"Something must have happened while we were away from the capital. Otherwise, how could my cousin agree to marry the crown prince?" Mr. Zhao said.
"Fortunately, your majesty also granted marriage to our young master." He said carelessly.
Young Master Zhao knew in his heart that it was precisely because of this marriage that his cousin would talk nonsense in front of his mother. I believe that at this moment, his cousin would be making random guesses in the mansion as to why he did not go in when he arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mr. Zhao was in a good mood. After eating snacks and drinking tea, he packed some snacks. Mr. Zhao asked Da Yi to go to the Hou Mansion, but Mr. Zhao did not go in. Instead, he asked the steward to deliver the pastries.
Then he carried the remaining pastries and returned to Zhao's house.
Main courtyard
"I heard that you left in a hurry just now. Did you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" the lady asked.
Although the lady saw what Mr. Zhao was carrying, she was still worried that Mr. Zhao had gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Originally I had this plan to question my cousin why she slandered Yun He so much. But later, I realized something was wrong. She just wanted you to come back and question me. I would definitely go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in anger. If this matter was spread.
, On the contrary, it is bad for Yun He’s reputation. I’m afraid this is her purpose, Yue’er almost did it.” Mr. Zhao said helplessly.
"Okay, this girl dares to plot against me." The lady said angrily.
"Mother, you know Yue'er's temperament better than I do," Mr. Zhao said.
"Yes, I have told you more than once before that Yue'er is cruel and scheming. It's all because I was too proud yesterday and was careless." Madam said.
"Mother, Yue'er should have predicted that you would go to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, and she had already thought about what to say to you. Your Majesty's decree granting marriage had just been spread, and the entire capital knew about it. As the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she
How could you not know?" Mr. Zhao said.
"So I was tricked by this little girl?" the lady said.
"Mother, even my son was almost plotted against," Mr. Zhao said.
"Wait, why did she do this? If you can marry with the Hou Mansion, it will be a good thing for the Zhao family. What did she do to stop your marriage? What if I didn't go back to the Mansion directly today, but went to the Hou Mansion to cause trouble?
"I'm afraid your marriage will also be cancelled. I'm afraid that after today, the matter of that girl will also be spread. Why did Yue'er do this?" Madam asked doubtfully.
"Even I don't understand what she wanted to do." Mr. Zhao said.
"I will be more careful in the future and will not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again. That pair of foxes, mother and daughter, only want to plot against me, and they are not good people," the lady said.
Mr. Zhao was amused by his wife's words and said, "Mother, just let nature take its course. It's good that you know these things. Don't question your cousin."
"Don't worry, I'm not hopelessly stupid," the lady said.
"Mother, these are the pastries I brought back from the teahouse just now. I brought some back because they were delicious." Mr. Zhao said.
"I know, you've been working hard all day, go back and have a good rest," the lady said.
"Yes, mother." Mr. Zhao said...
The lady suddenly remembered what happened to the second young master, and asked, "By the way, is it okay for Xu'er to be in the shop?"
"Don't worry, mother, he's doing a good job." Mr. Zhao said.
"It's true that your father just threw him into the shop when he came back from Licheng. I heard that he was in the shop when he was in Licheng. Shouldn't he be allowed to take charge of a few more shops now? He can't be like this
Just like a clerk, he works in the shop every day," the lady said.
"Mom, father has his own plans, and Xu'er is doing very well and has learned a lot in the shop." Mr. Zhao said.
"Then I'm relieved. I'm worried that he's exhausted. After all, he's the second young master of the Zhao family. How can he do what his servants do?" said the lady.
"Okay, I will bring him back before dinner later," Mr. Zhao said.
Mr. Zhao went back, changed his clothes, and left the Zhao family again. As soon as Mr. Zhao got on the carriage, the person squatting opposite also left quietly.
The carriage stopped at the door of Zhao's shop. Mr. Zhao got off the carriage and entered the shop. As soon as he entered, he heard the second young master discussing business matters with the shopkeeper. Mr. Zhao listened with great interest and felt that Xu'er had really grown up.
Quite a few.
The second young master looked up and saw Mr. Zhao, and said excitedly: "Brother."
"Look at you, you look like you haven't seen me for a long time." Mr. Zhao said.
"Young Master," the shopkeeper said respectfully.
In the past, when the shopkeeper saw Mr. Zhao, he greeted Mr. Zhao but was not respectful. But after seeing Mr. Zhao today, his tone was obviously much more respectful than usual.
Mr. Zhao knew that since he came back from Licheng, the people of the Zhao family were much more respectful to him than before.
"Shopkeeper, how are Xu'er doing these days?" Mr. Zhao asked.
"Young master, the second young master is willing to endure hardships in the shop, is willing to work together with us, and is very flexible in doing things. The business in the shop has been very good recently, and it is all the credit of the second young master." said the shopkeeper.
"Uncle Liu, you're welcome, the business in the shop is already good, I just played some tricks," the second young master said.
Seeing that the second young master was so humble, Mr. Zhao was even more satisfied with him and said, "Well done. Let's pack up and go back home. I'm here to take you back."
"Yes." Xu'er said.
The second young master went into the house and changed his clothes, then got on the carriage with the eldest young master. The two of them did not go back to the house directly. Mr. Zhao took Xu'er to buy some candied fruits that he loved and went back. Then he got on the carriage and returned.
Zhao family.
Three days later, New Year's Eve
Mrs. Hou got up early. The meal in the evening must be very exquisite. After all, she planned to entertain Mrs. Qin today.
When Yun He first came back, she had someone make some sets of clothes for Yun He. The lady asked the maid to take the new clothes to Yun He's yard, and Yun He actually got up early when he heard his mother coming.
, and went out to welcome him.
"Mother, why did you come so early? Didn't we agree to go there in the afternoon?" Yun He said.
"These are the clothes I specially asked to make for you. Come and try them on," the lady said.
The maid put the clothes on the table. Yun He suddenly remembered that her mother had given her several sets of clothes before, and said, "Mother, didn't you already give her several sets of clothes before?"
"Before, before, these are what you need to wear during the New Year." The lady said.
My mother sent me two sets of clothes, one in lavender and the other in powder blue, which looked elegant and noble. My mother had an excellent taste, and Yun He was naturally very satisfied.
However, Yunhe suddenly remembered Ningxiang, so he said to his mother: "Mom, do you still remember the girl I told you about? Can I give this light blue set to Ningxiang?"
"Silly boy, mother has prepared it for them a long time ago. You said that Mrs. Qin lives with Miss Wenyuan and Miss Ningxiang in the house, so I made two sets of new clothes for the two girls. I just don't know the size.
It's appropriate. When we go there today, we can just drop it off." The lady said with a smile.
"Mother didn't send it in advance because she was worried that they would reject it?" Yun He asked.
"After breakfast, I'll put on new clothes and we'll go there before lunch," the lady said.
We had agreed to wait until after noon before going there, but my mother didn't know why she changed her mind, so she asked, "Mom, we didn't agree to wait until after noon before going there, why did we suddenly move it forward?"
"I'm worried that Mrs. Qin will refuse. I should go over and talk to her earlier," the lady said.
"What mother is thinking about is that I didn't think carefully," Yun He said.
"After you have changed your clothes, go to the main courtyard and see the clothes I have prepared for them," the lady said.
"Yes, mother." Yun He said.
After Yun He had eaten, Yun'er combed Yun He's hair into a simple bun, put on the hosta, and then changed into the lavender clothes.
"Our young lady is really pretty. If Mr. Zhao saw her, his eyes would probably fall off." Yun'er said.
