Zhang Yanling was speechless, but she could only accept it with a smile, and did not want to get angry with such an ignorant woman. Xu Wanyi showed an apologetic look and spoke to stop Liu's scolding.
Zhang Yanling originally thought that her mother-in-law and Ms. Liu would go back after visiting her. However, after the three of them talked for a while in the room, Ms. Liu came out and informed Zhang Yanling that the Duke's wife would not leave tonight because she was worried about the county.
The princess was seriously injured, so she wanted to stay here with her poor daughter for one night. This was how she felt to comfort the princess.
Zhang Yanling's head was as big as a drum, but she could only let them go.
After dinner, Zhang Yanling had to stay with Xu Wanyi's residence and listen to them chatting about everyday things. Until the second watch, the old lady was tired, so Mr. Liu accompanied her to the west wing to rest. Zhang Yanling also
By the way, I said goodbye and wanted to go back to the West Courtyard to rest. Unexpectedly, the Duke's wife was surprised again.
"What? You've only been married for more than a month and you're already sleeping in separate rooms? It's so strange that I think my family, Wanyi, is unhappy. It turns out that you have already turned away from her. Wanyi's life is really miserable. If I had known this, then I would have
Then I will not agree to this marriage."
Zhang Yanling quickly said that Wanyi was injured and asked her to have a good rest, so she let her sleep alone.
But this reason was obviously not recognized by Ms. Liu. Ms. Liu said: "The more injured you are, the more you need to accompany and take care of it? If you get up with tea and water at night, shouldn't you be there to take care of you? It's simply heartless.
.I have seen through men like you. I don’t cherish men anymore once I get them. It’s really not worth it for my family. A person who is like a fairy, but met a blind, heartless person, married and suffered...
…”
Zhang Yanling really had nothing to say to her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She was just the wife of the Duke, after all, Xu Wanyi was her daughter. After being attacked and injured, she would naturally feel extra pity and complain.
There is nothing wrong with what he said. But Liu didn’t
She's just Xu Wanyi's sister-in-law. Why does she speak so viciously? I don't know if it's because she was left out by Xu Yande. She always says things like "men are not good things". She's acting like a resentful woman. It seems like she's putting this thing aside
She took it as her own outlet to vent her anger.
However, in order to reduce complaints and not expose the true situation between himself and Xu Wanyi, Zhang Yanling had to stay. He planned to wait for the Duke's wife and Mrs. Liu to rest, and then sneak away in the middle of the night. After all, Xu Wanyi
There is no place for me in my boudoir.
After the second update, everything calmed down. Zhang Yanling also entered Xu Wanyi's boudoir for the first time after getting married. To be precise, it was the second time. The first time was on the wedding day.
He never came again after that.
Naturally, there have been great changes in the boudoir. Xu Wanyi made a major renovation here not long ago. The previous tables, chairs, furniture, boxes, cages, and gums were all replaced. Now they use all the utensils and appliances that Xu Wanyi used at her mother's house.
she follows herself
I like to add furniture and accessories. The room is covered with thick brown expensive wool carpets sold by Hu merchants from the Western Regions, light-colored curtains are hung, and there are bookcases, desks, pianos, chess and other items. It is very elegant. This is indeed true.
Xu Wanyi's style.
"Master Hou, I'm sorry for what happened today. My mother and sister-in-law are also concerned, so don't take their words to heart." Xu Wanyi expressed her apology to Zhang Yanling.
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said: "How could I blame them? What they said was right. It was indeed me who failed to take good care of you. They would naturally be worried when you were injured, and I also blamed myself. But all this has passed.
Fortunately, your injury is minor, Ru Qing said you will recover soon and your appearance will definitely not be disfigured, so don’t worry."
Xu Wanyi nodded and walked into the inner room. Zhang Yanling thought she would not come out again, so she found a chair and sat down, sighing comfortably. However, Xu Wanyi walked out slowly, holding a tray in her hand.
There are some snacks inside.
"Master Hou, please use some pastries. I saw you didn't eat much at dinner. Just eat some with tea." Xu Wanyi said.
Zhang Yanling stood up hurriedly and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. You can go and have a rest. Don't worry, I will never have any evil intentions. I will sneak out after a while and come tomorrow morning before your mother and your sister-in-law get up. That way
Then they won't be suspicious."
Xu Wanyi was silent for a moment and said softly: "You don't have to be like this, Lord Marquis. You can sleep here. What I mean is...the carpet is clean. I can put the bedding on it and sleep on it in a while. Wanyi...
I don't worry about what you will do, because you are not that kind of person. The Marquis is a gentleman."
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "It's rare to hear your praise of me. A gentleman would not dare to do so, but it is true that we keep our promises and uphold our righteousness."
Xu Wanyi nodded and made a cup of tea for Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling thanked him and took it. He took a sip and felt the fragrance filling his throat. After eating a piece of pastry, it was even more crispy and delicious. I really didn't have any appetite before, but now I am really hungry.
So I was not polite and ate several pieces with tea.
Xu Wan noticed that Zhang Yanling's food was delicious, and asked with a smile in her eyes: "How does the snack taste?"
Zhang Yanling nodded with her big finger and kept chewing in her mouth.
Xu Wanyi said: "It's the same as the dim sum on Wild Dog Ridge, it's Liu Biju's dim sum."
Zhang Yanling was stunned for a moment, and thought to herself: What's worse, she will remember the unhappiness on Wild Dog Ridge again, and she is afraid that she will have to settle old scores.
I didn't know how to answer, but I heard Xu Wanyi whisper: "The same dim sum, but the mood is different, and the taste may be different. Don't you think so?"
Zhang Yanling swallowed the snack in his mouth and said with a smile: "Why is the princess so emotional?"
Xu Wanyi said: "After experiencing life and death, you will naturally feel a little emotional. I still haven't recovered from what happened last night. It's really... crazy."
Zhang Yanling said softly: "Is the princess still afraid of killing those thieves?"
Xu Wanyi smiled bitterly and said: "It's not all fear, but a strange feeling. I, Xu Wanyi, never dreamed that one day I would kill others with a firearm. It's simply crazy!"
