Chu Mingyang also responded with a faint tone, "Friendship? Bah, just a slave."
Chu Mingcui didn't like her tone, so she stopped talking. The two sisters left the palace and returned to their parents' home.
Back at Chu Mansion, Chu Mingyang ignored Chu Mingcui and went back to the house.
Chu Mingcui went to visit her grandmother. The first assistant's wife had not recovered since she lost her voice in an "accident" last time.
The first assistant's wife naturally knew that there was only one person in this house who could drug her.
She became more law-abiding and her life as a couple was about to end, and she knew all too well how cruel he was.
For the sake of what he cares about, he can deny his relatives.
When she heard what Chu Mingcui said about her encounter with Grandma Xi today, she felt frightened and shook her head at Chu Mingcui, signaling not to mess with that woman.
Chu Mingcui said softly: "My granddaughter knows, but Mingyang doesn't take her seriously."
The first assistant's wife smiled sadly and shook her head.

In the evening, Chu Shoufu returned to his mansion. He was used to eating alone. As soon as he asked someone to place the dishes in the house, he heard a servant come in and report, "Master, a person who calls herself Aunt Xi is here and wants to see you."
.”
Chu Shoufu raised his head, his eyes a little dazed, "Auntie Xi?"
"As far as I'm concerned, sir, yes," the servant said.
Chu Shoufu's absence lasted only for a moment, and he immediately returned to normal, "Invite her in."
"Yes!" The servant followed the order and left.
Chu Shoufu looked at the old steward serving beside him, "What do you think she is here for?"
The old steward bowed and said, "I don't dare to speculate."
Chu Shoufu said calmly: "I'm afraid it's for Princess Chu."
The old steward responded, also a little stunned.
The servants led Nanny Xi in, then bowed and left.
Chu Shoufu stood up and watched Aunt Xi slowly cross the threshold and come in.
"I've met Mr. Chief Assistant!" Aunt Xi saluted.
Chu Shoufu said softly: "No need to be polite, sit down!"
Grandma Xi saw the food on the table and said, "You haven't eaten yet?"
"We're just about to use it." Chu Shoufu invited, "How about we come together?"
Grandma Xi walked over, looked at the two light dishes and one soup, and then looked at his thin and delicate face, and said, "You should eat better."
"Just a simple meal," Chu Shoufu said.
Grandma Xi turned her head. When she came, she had already thought of her words, but she didn't know how to speak.
The old steward stepped forward and said, "Sister Xi'er, long time no see."
"Plowshare, long time no see." Grandma Xi looked at the old steward, "How are you?"
"Okay, okay, everything is fine!" the old steward said with a smile, "It's just that it seems that not long after, we are all old."
Aunt Xi nodded silently, yes, in the blink of an eye, she became old.
