When Aunt Li saw that Jing's heart hadn't moved, she understood immediately and stepped forward to pour tea for Mrs. Ninth, "I'm here. The maids are rough-handed and I'm afraid they won't serve you well. Madam, please have some tea."
"No, no need, I'll do it myself." Madam Ninth was originally timid, and even if her status was different, she didn't really dare to ask this former eldest lady to pour tea for her.
"It's okay, it's okay. Let me do the rough work. Madam, please take a break." Aunt Li rarely showed a bit of humility and insisted on serving her personally. Half a year was enough to soften her temper.
"Really, no need..."
The two of them were pushing and giving way.
"Cough." Qu Tan'er coughed lightly and stared at the situation in front of her indifferently, not bothering to stop her. Unexpectedly, her cough made Aunt Li let go of her hand in fright, and Mrs. Ninth also let go.
Then, the teapot that was lying in the middle and no one could catch it was dropped.
Qu Tan'er frowned slightly.
Just a slight frown was enough to scare the two women in front of him.
Perhaps she didn't know that the experience of more than a year was enough to change her temperament a lot.
A person who was once weak, but I don't know when, he has been able to naturally show the coercion of a superior person.
"I'm sorry, Princess, I didn't mean to do it." Aunt Li seemed to be frightened and quickly waved her hand to apologize.
Qu Tan'er didn't say anything, and she didn't pay attention to a mere teapot.
As for whether she meant it or not, she didn't care.
However, her silence made the atmosphere a bit tense...
"Tan'er, forget it, it's actually none of the eldest lady's business. It's all my mother's fault. She didn't handle it well." Even though Madam Ninth is now in power, she still doesn't change her timid and fearful temperament. Or maybe she has grown up.
Years of oppressive life had already cast a serious shadow on Aunt Li.
"Mom, it's just a teapot and it's not worth much. Tan'er doesn't blame anyone."
"It's okay if you don't blame her." Listening to this tone, Madam Ninth felt a little inexplicable awe for her daughter.
Qu Tan'er smiled, turned to Aunt Li, her eyes darkened, and asked: "Then Li...cough, Aunt Li, what is the important matter for me to find this princess?" Even though he knew that she was framing him, he still came to her door.
, if you say you have nothing to ask for, who would believe it?
"Princess, I was the one who deceived you and did a lot of things that I'm sorry for you in the past. I will never do it again. Now, please look at the little friendship we had in the past, please help me and let me go back."
Qufu, okay? I don't ask for anything anymore, I just want to live the rest of my life in peace..." Aunt Li begged in a low voice, barely even kneeling down.
"The person you should be looking for is the crown prince's concubine, why did you find me instead?"
"Princess, Pan'er begged me, but I didn't listen. As long as you ask the prince to speak, I will not refuse to listen."
"Haha, you really know how to joke."
"princess……"
"Jing Xin, why hasn't the hot tea been served yet?" Qu Tan'er asked Jing Xin, deliberately interrupting the eldest lady's words.
"Go back to the master, the hot tea is here." Jing Xin took the teapot from the maid's hand, carefully poured a cup for Madam Ninth, and then retreated behind Qu Tan'er.
"Princess, please, I will kneel down for you..." Aunt Li really knelt down and kowtowed violently.
In the past six months, I have obviously suffered a lot.
The whole person has lost a lot of weight.
Qu Tan'er lowered her eyelids but remained silent.
