Cheng Mubai and Yun Buhui were having dinner with the princess when Ju Qing hurried in and said, "Princess, the prince is here."
As soon as she finished speaking, the prince entered the dining hall. His bodyguard Su Lin and others stood outside the courtyard without accompanying him to wait on him. The princess, Cheng Mubai, Yun Buhui and others stood up and saw the ceremony. The prince's eyes fell on the princess.
He could hear Yuzhi's laughter from a distance, and he could hear the princess's laughter when he was close, but now she was not smiling at all, looking at him indifferently, and then lowered her gaze, her usual gentleness, her eyes
But there was alienation.
Yun Buhui hurriedly asked the prince to sit down. Ju Qing and Zhu Qing cleverly added bowls, chopsticks and dishes. The prince has been in Xiyuan for a while, accompanying Concubine Yun every day. He has never set foot in Dongyuan.
Regarding Ganoderma lucidum, she held Concubine Yun like a jewel, fearing that something might happen to her. Suddenly she came over, and Yun Buhui understood in his heart that it was probably her who was responsible for scolding Da Niu and Ji Xiang.
Yu Zhi was busy eating, his laughter had long since stopped. Cheng Mubai had never been fond of talking, and Yu Wu was even more silent. The dining table was silent for a moment, with only the sound of bowls and chopsticks touching each other. The harmonious atmosphere just now was gone, and the atmosphere was awkward. Yu Wu was nervous.
Di Ning looked at Yun Buhui, who smiled lightly and asked, "Father, I didn't know you were coming, but do you have something to give me?"
"Let's forget about the poisonous Ganoderma matter this time. We won't do it next time." The prince said coldly, as if he had given him a great gift. He looked at the princess indifferently, but the princess had no expression and never raised her head. She deliberately avoided him.
His face was even worse.
Cheng Mubai said, "Father, my son is confused. What do you mean by this is that it is still the mother's fault? Is this the truth that you have been investigating for so long? And... a gift?"
"The poisonous Ganoderma lucidum comes from the Lin family. What are you doing? Your uncle has lost a lot of money in business recently. He may have replaced it with some defective products to save money. If it's wrong, it's wrong. Fortunately, no one's life was harmed, otherwise..."
The prince smiled coldly, "It is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the management of such a big house. If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. You will have to be more careful in the future. Yun'er also begged for mercy, so let's forget it this time."
Yuzhi bit her lip and raised her head angrily. Yuwu pulled her, and she threw the dishes she had picked up on the plate, unhappy.
Yun Buhui tried his best to endure it, with a bit of a smile on his face, "Father, my uncle lost money, but the Ganoderma lucidum he supplied to others was all first-class, not defective. Jing Nan visited and investigated one by one, without any partiality.
The daughter-in-law didn't understand why there was something wrong with the Ganoderma lucidum in the house, but only a few bags of Ganoderma lucidum had problems. What's more, what the daughter-in-law picked out and gave to Aunt Yun turned out to be poisonous Ganoderma lucidum. This
Do you blame your daughter-in-law for being unlucky? No matter how bad she is, everything she picks up is poisonous, right? There are dozens of Ganoderma lucidum in a bag."
The prince said, "It's useless to say all this now. Do you mean that Yun'er will poison himself and almost kill himself?"
"My daughter-in-law has no such intention. Father, don't make such speculations." Yun Buhui responded, "My daughter-in-law only feels that this matter is extremely unfair to her mother and extremely unfair to the Lin family. If word spreads, the reputation of the Lin family business will not survive."
?”
"That's enough. It's over now. I won't hold anyone responsible." The prince said, looking at the princess with a sinister look, as if he was trying his best to suppress something. Yun Buhui still wanted to defend himself, Cheng Mubai said
With a wink and a slight shake of his head, Yun Buhui had no choice but to give up.
The princess never said a word. Yu Wu's eyes were red and Yu Zhi's face was expressionless. The prince seemed to realize that he was not welcome, but did not leave. He said in a deep voice, "You beat two of the four maids today?"
"Yes!" Yun Buhui raised his head and said with a smile, "Jixiang and Da Niu'er are disrespectful to their daughter-in-law and do not do things cleanly and neatly, so forget it. They dare to arrange the master's rights and wrongs behind his back. They should be beaten!"
The prince frowned and looked at Yun Buhui, while Yuzhi lowered his head and picked up the shredded pork on the plate, "My father has also asked about such trivial matters as my sister-in-law spanking two maids, but you never ask about these things. What's wrong?"
Who else arranged something for us? Anyway, I can punish you all at once."
"Shut up!" The prince was furious, "Is this the way you talk to your elders? Is this what your mother always taught you?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the princess. The princess was invisible, but Yuzhi was not happy. Recently, she was very depressed because of the princess's affairs, so she retorted, "I have a father and a mother, so why can't I rely on my tutor?"
Now that you are a mother, don’t you have a share? Or you just care about Xiyuan’s affairs all year round and don’t consider Dongyuan to be your relative.”
"Yuzhi!" Cheng Mubai shouted softly, signaling her to stop. Yuzhi flattened her mouth and ate reluctantly.
The prince's face was ashen and his veins were twitching. Yuzhi had never been so rebellious and arrogant. The prince looked at the princess angrily, pointed at Yuzhi and said to the princess, "Is this the good daughter you taught? Look at her, look at her...
"
The princess was speechless, Cheng Mubai said, "Father, Yuzhi has suffered some injustices recently and feels unhappy. Please don't be the same as her."
"She has been wronged. Who in the house dares to give her the wrong?" The prince was angry. Cheng Mubai seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and a slight sneer flashed across his lips. Yun Buhui really couldn't say anything. Yu Zhi said coolly, "Yes, in the house,
Who dares to give me the wrong? How much do you know about the affairs in the house? You have always been worried about your Xiyuan in your heart, and you don’t care whether we live or die..."
"Yuzhi, stop talking." Cheng Mubai said, and Yuwu also pulled her sleeves to prevent her from continuing. The prince pointed at Yuzhi angrily, "Don't stop her, let her speak, let her speak!"
"
Yuzhi threw off Yuwu's sleeves and shed tears, "Just tell me, what do I dare not do? How have you treated us and Xiyuan over the years? If Yurong catches a cold, you will be so precious.
Holding it, guarding it carefully, feeding the medicine in person, I wish I could hold all the treasures in the world in front of her to make her happy. What about me? Where is Yuwu? Where is my brother? My brother has been in poor health since he was a child. Have you ever expressed your concern?
The emperor's uncle sent someone to give you something, so you gave it to your brother. He has been sick for such a long time. Have you ever given him a sip of medicine? Have you ever thought about why he is sick and why he can't be cured? Yu Wu is sick.
She became mute, have you ever seen her with your eyes? For Yu Wu, my mother was heartbroken. She was always worried that Yu Wu would not be able to get married in the future, and she was also afraid that she would be bullied if she did not marry well. She was worried about this and worried about that. Yu Rong
You got her engaged before she was twelve years old, but have you ever looked at Yuwu? Are you worried about her future?..."
