Qi Yue stood up and walked to Chang Yuncheng and sat down next to him.
Old lady Xie's face turned even more ugly.
"Did I let you sit down?" She shouted suddenly, "It's really unruly!"
Qi Yue was startled, and Chang Yuncheng also stood up with an ugly expression.
This old lady is very energetic and does not look like she is sick.
"Grandma." Chang Yuncheng called out.
"Look at how useless you are!" Mrs. Xie glared at him and yelled, "In a grown-up man's family, it has nothing to do with your elders talking to their daughter-in-law!"
Chang Yuncheng was embarrassed and speechless after being shouted at.
Qi Yue couldn't help but laugh, it turned out to be the Xie family, and they did not hide their joy and anger. It seemed that the Xie family was deeply loved by his mother.
"You all, please go out." Mrs. Xie waved her hand to chase them away.
Chang Yuncheng glanced at Qi Yue and saw that there was no fear on the woman's face, but a slight smile as if she was watching the fun that had nothing to do with her.
Do these joys and anger no longer matter to her?
Chang Yuncheng took a deep breath.
"Grandma, Yueniang has superb medical skills. Ask her to diagnose your pulse." He said.
"Are you crazy?" Old Mrs. Xie asked, waving to him.
Chang Yuncheng was puzzled but walked over anyway.
Old lady Xie took his hand and looked him up and down.
"Let me see, are you still my grandson Chang Yuncheng?" she said, "Why do you say so many strange things this time?"
Chang Yuncheng's face suddenly darkened.
Qi Yue couldn't help lowering her head and laughing.
"Grandma, I'm not kidding." Chang Yuncheng said with a bit of tolerant annoyance, "If you don't believe it, go to our Yongqing Mansion and ask around, and you'll find out."
Old lady Xie snorted indifferently.
"I don't have that free time." She leaned back on the chair, "You are here to see me, so just look at me carefully and let us talk to each other. If you have other thoughts, you can do it now.
gone back."
She said you have other things on your mind, but her eyes saw Qi Yue.
Obviously, the mastermind behind those other thoughts is Qi Yue.
Somehow, looking at Chang Yuncheng's complex expression, Qi Yue suddenly felt a little sympathetic. The so-called person is not a human being inside and outside, that's what he is like now.
"Grandma, Prince, I'm going to take my leave now. The road here was bumpy and I'm really not used to it. I want to take a rest. Grandma has just arranged the place. Thank you for your consideration." She said with a smile, bowing her head and saluting.
This sentence was also an explanation to Chang Yuncheng, who looked at her.
Qi Yue raised her head and smiled at him.
Chang Yuncheng looked away.
"Then go ahead." Mrs. Xie said, with a flash of disdain in her eyes. She watched Qi Yue retreat, then looked at Chang Yuncheng, and raised her hand to hit him.
"Grandma." Chang Yuncheng shouted with a frown.
"Look at how good-for-nothing you are, you've never seen a woman?" Mrs. Xie glared and said, raising her hand to poke Chang Yuncheng's forehead again.
Chang Yuncheng ducked sideways.
"Grandma, how old am I?" he said with a frown, a little helpless, but his expression was very gentle.
"You are my grandson no matter how old you are." Old Mrs. Xie said, turning to the girl next to her and saying, "Go, please come back, madam, young lady, madam, and ladies. The one who is an eyesore is gone, and we can talk to our families."
Chang Yuncheng's brows furrowed and he never let go. Talking and laughing came from outside. The female family members who had retreated after learning that Qi Yueniang was coming to pay homage came in again. The room suddenly became lively again. He couldn't help but look outside the door.
Passing by the women who came in one by one, I seemed to see the back of the woman leaving alone.
No one came to invite Qi Yue during dinner. A Ru stood at the door with a very ugly face.
"Is this how the Xie family treats guests?" She raised her foot and was about to go out to argue.
Qi Yue reached out and held her.
"You're right, this is the Xie family's way of hospitality." She smiled.
"Young madam." A'ru couldn't hide her anger, "Let's leave without eating from her family."
"You are wrong, what we are eating is not her family's food, but... the prince's." Qi Yue smiled and pushed her to sit down, "Let's go, what we are going to slap is not the Xie family's face, but the prince's face.
"
Aru naturally understood this after hearing it.
"Although the prince didn't consider it wrong to bring me here, but...it's not a crime to suffer from such a splint." Qi Yue said with a smile.
Aru looked at her and his expression softened.
"Young madam, it's great that you can think of the prince like this," she said.
Somehow, Qi Yue couldn't help but blush slightly after hearing what Aru said.
"This doesn't mean you think about him, normal people would think like this." She stood up and said to Aru by moving her arms and legs.
While he was talking, a maid from the Xie family came outside the door to bring food.
A table was set up in a lively manner.
"Wow, it's not bad, it's so rich." Qi Yue said with a smile, while greeting Aru, "Just in time, let's have a free meal and save those who have some and have nothing to say with a smile."
Aru came over with a smile. She knew that if the young lady was happy, she would be happy, and if she was unhappy, she would be unhappy. She would never force a smile.
"Okay, let's try the cooking skills of the Xie family." She said, picking up the chopsticks and helping Qi Yue prepare the dishes.
Hearing the chatter and laughter coming from inside, Xie's maid who was standing outside couldn't help but look at each other, and she was still laughing? Isn't this young lady stupid?
The banquet in the front hall of the Xie family was lively. Halfway through the banquet, gongs and drums were beating on the small stage, and two young actors were doing somersaults, which attracted continuous cheers from the children of the Xie family.
Chang Yuncheng looked at the stage with a somewhat disoriented expression.
"When you were a child, you loved watching the martial arts show invited by your grandmother's house. You secretly practiced somersaults with Brother Zhao in the backyard, and ended up breaking your head..." Mrs. Xie said with a smile.
"Is there such a thing?" Chang Yuncheng said with a smile.
"Brother Cheng has forgotten..." A middle-aged woman sitting next to Mrs.
I dare to do somersaults."
Chang Yuncheng laughed, and a young man about his age on the other side also laughed.
"I don't dare to compete with my brother now. I am a weak scholar, but my brother is already a good general who can mount a horse and kill thieves." He laughed loudly.
Chang Yuncheng raised his wine glass to him, and the young man also raised his wine glass. The two of them touched each other in the distance, and both raised their heads and drank.
Old Mrs. Xie didn't smile, she lowered her face and gave the woman a sideways glance.
"Brother Cheng brought the young lady here this time?" The woman just looked at Chang Yuncheng and said again, "Why didn't you see her come to dinner?"
Mrs. Xie didn't specifically invite her, and Chang Yuncheng didn't say anything more.
"She couldn't get used to riding in a car when she went out for the first time, and she couldn't eat anything, so I didn't let her come here to spoil the fun." Chang Yuncheng replied to the woman.
It would be better not to let her come to such an occasion, otherwise she would be left out and embarrassed.
I wonder if she has eaten? What is she doing now? She likes to be alone at home, either reading or reading. When she comes to this unfamiliar environment, I think it will make her feel even more lonely...
The middle-aged woman's smile interrupted Chang Yuncheng's thoughts.
"... Brother Cheng is so considerate." She smiled, "It seems that next time I come not only will I bring my wife, but also my son..."
"I can't stop you from eating! Where did you come from with so many words!" Mrs. Xie suddenly shouted, slamming the chopsticks in her hand on the table.
The gongs and drums happened to stop on the stage, so everyone in the flower hall heard the roar.
The children were all busy standing up.
The middle-aged woman looked shy and anxious, and stood up.
"You have nothing to do." A middle-aged man across from him glared and yelled. He hurriedly came over to thank the old lady and saluted her, and repeatedly called her son to ask her mother to calm down.
Chang Yuncheng naturally stood up.
Old lady Xie had a sullen face, and the middle-aged woman lowered her head and admitted her mistake, only to be stared at and shouted back by the middle-aged man.
The people on the stage didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to beat the gongs and drums again. At this time, a servant girl hurriedly waved to them. The class leader understood, and the excitement on the stage started again.
Perhaps because they were used to Mrs. Xie's temper, this episode did not have any impact on the banquet. Everyone was laughing, eating and drinking.
Seeing that Mrs. Xie still had a face on her face, Chang Yuncheng smiled and served her some food.
"Grandma, aunt is really concerned about me..." he said.
"Cares about you? Does she think we are all fools?" Old Mrs. Xie said with a snort, "You have to pretend to say something that is obviously disgusting. This kind of behavior and mentality are even more disgusting than these words!
There are no fools in this world, it’s just that one hears it early and hears it late, so don’t say you didn’t catch it.”
Chang Yuncheng smiled faintly and took a sip of wine by himself.
Of course he could tell that Mrs. Xie was mocking her openly and her aunt was mocking her implicitly. In short, that woman was a ridiculous existence in their eyes.
Maybe he came to the wrong place, he thought too simply...
It's enough to get cold looks at home, let her go out and get cold looks.
Chang Yuncheng drank one glass after another, and soon became drunk.
"This kid doesn't drink much, so why did he get drunk?" Mrs. Xie said distressedly, while calling for help to make sobering soup.
"Isn't it because he came to our house? He wouldn't eat so happily in other places." Others laughed.
"That's right, you can only reach home when you arrive at our house." Mrs. Xie nodded with a smile.
The soft sedan chair was brought up, and the servant woman asked the prince where he could rest.
"Young lady's place..." they said.
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mrs. Xie.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The greenhouse behind my yard is empty. Let Brother Cheng rest there and find someone to take good care of him." She said, "Young lady has many wives. What's wrong with her?"
The servants smiled and followed the instructions.
Chang Yuncheng woke up not long after he fell asleep. Maybe it was because of the hangover soup, or... it was because it was not safe to sleep in another place.
He opened his eyes and realized that he was sleeping on the bed. He felt a little strange but then he smiled again.
Here, it would be impossible for the woman to sleep on someone else's bed.
He looked directly at the small bed next to the door through the curtain, and saw a small figure sleeping there, huddled in a small ball wrapped in a quilt, looking a little pitiful.
Chang Yuncheng suddenly lifted the quilt and stood up, staggering over there.*** (To be continued)
