The housekeeper said: "This lady came here with the invitation, so she stayed outside and refused to leave, saying that she had to see her."
Mrs. Zhou not only refused to leave, she also brought very generous gifts.
Mrs. Meng frowned and asked Mu Yunhan, "What do you think?"
Mu Yunhan said: "I'm probably here to apologize for the Qian family's affairs."
Zhou Bida asked her for ginseng in order to save the life of Mr. Qian, in case Princess Huaichang lost the marriage and had to marry far away from Qi State and become a hostage.
Now that the second young master Qian is dead, the Qian family has become enemies with the Meng family.
If the Zhou family still chooses to be tied to the Qian family, there will be no practical benefits.
It's better to apologize to the Meng family and maybe get an unexpected surprise.
Mrs. Meng asked Mu Yunhan: "Are you willing to see her? If not, return the post and shame her!"
Mu Yunhan smiled and said, "No, his village and mine are close neighbors. We can't see each other without looking up. It's not good to be too ruthless."
At that time, the Zhou family was just used as a gun. By pushing people out, they were taking advantage of others.
Mrs. Meng nodded her forehead: "See you then."
Mrs. Zhou was brought in, smiled and greeted Mrs. Meng, and praised Mu Yunhan enthusiastically: "What a good talent, smart and polite, capable and blessed."
Mu Yunhan said: "I can't bear to receive such praise from Madam."
"It's worthy, it's worthy..."
Mrs. Zhou exchanged a few pleasantries and changed the subject: "I heard that the unlucky person in my family asked Miss Mu for medicine for the Qian family's affairs. I was so anxious. How can anyone talk like that? Isn't it embarrassing?
"
Mu Yunhan smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhou spoke and behaved appropriately and did not embarrass me."
Even if you want to cause trouble behind your back, you don't have time.
Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and stroked her chest: "He doesn't know how to behave in daily life, so I'm afraid he might offend others unintentionally."
Mu Yunhan said: "No, Mr. Zhou is very aware of current affairs and will not offend others casually."
Mrs. Zhou's face turned red and white, and her words sounded a bit like bullying.
But the Zhou family really doesn't want to be enemies with the Meng family and the Taichang Temple Qingfu, so just bear with it.
Fortunately, Mu Yunhan was not aggressive and changed his tone to a gentle tone: "My village will be built another day. Madam will take the children to play there when she is free."
"That's for sure." Mrs. Zhou smiled quickly: "That hot spring spot is really rare. Everyone in the family wants to have a look."
When Mrs. Meng saw that the two of them were chatting happily, she smiled and asked someone to prepare a meal, leaving Mrs. Zhou to eat.
Mrs. Zhou was so happy that she tried her best to flatter him, and after just one meal, she and Mu Yunhan became friends.
After dinner, while drinking tea and chatting, Madam Zhou sighed.
Mrs. Meng couldn't help but ask: "What are you worried about?"
Mrs. Zhou said: "To be honest, I am worried about Her Royal Highness Princess Huaichang's life."
Princess Huaichang was not young, and she was supposed to marry into the Qian family at the end of this year, but the second young master Qian died suddenly, and the princess was single.
There are only a few families in Beijing that have the right family background, age, and talents.
But neither the Zhou concubine nor the Zhou family had much power to make the princess's marriage go as she wished.
Mrs. Zhou was talking about this, and she really wanted to beg Mr. Meng for help.
Old Madam Meng did not accept the offer: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is virtuous and gentle. Your Majesty knows it well and there is no need to worry." (To be continued)
