The princess was beautiful and proud. When she asked this question, she showed the arrogance of a royal princess, with disdain in her tone and expression.
As for the prince next to him, Chu Yunli took a special look at him.
Just this glance successfully made the princess's face turn cold, while the prince straightened his back even more.
"This is my natal brother's daughter. She is only two months younger than Xuanqi. Recently, I specially picked her up to keep Tiantian company." Hua held Chu Yunli's hand, "She looks similar to me. I would like to meet her again by the way."
Help her find a marriage. As cousins, you must take more care of her in the future." When he said these words, he looked at the princess with his eyes and his tone was quite meaningful.
If Hua had intended to make this girl her concubine, she probably wouldn't have said that. After hearing this, the princess looked better.
Chen Xuanqi sighed, "My mother said this just after my cousin arrived. My cousin should feel uncomfortable."
Chu Yunli smiled slightly and tilted her head to look at the princess, "My cousin is so beautiful! She deserves my cousin..." She clicked her tongue and shook her head, looking at a loss for words.
Even though the princess had a grudge against Chu Yunli, her expression softened a little after hearing these words. Although she meant to belittle Chen Xuanqi, he himself was not good-looking. The more rude he was, it proved that she did not like him.
In contrast, Chen Xuanqi's complexion was not very good. This cousin seemed to dislike his appearance.
Chen Xuanqi's appearance cannot be said to be ugly, just average, very ordinary. If he changed his clothes and threw it on the street, he would definitely not be recognized.
Although he is full of nobility now, he always makes people feel awkward.
Several people ate lunch together, and there was a bit of silence during the meal. Fahrenheit tried several times to liven up the atmosphere, but to no avail.
After dinner, people outside said that the courtyard was ready. Hua stood up and wanted to take her there in person, but was stopped by the princess, "Madam is tired. I am also the master, so I...take my cousin there."
Hua frowned and said, "The princess has a distinguished status, so she should go back and rest."
The princess didn't force herself, she sneered and pulled Chen Xuanyi, who was peeking over here, back.
Hua took her into the courtyard not far from the main courtyard and said, "I reserved this specially for you. I didn't give it to Tiantian even if she wanted it. Do you like it?"
"I like it." Chu Yunli looked around, "Compared to the courtyard in Tiezhen, who am I qualified to be picky about?"
Fahrenheit's expression froze and he asked, "You don't like your brother?"
"Brother?" Chu Yunli asked, "What kind of brother is he?"
"He robbed my parents, robbed me of my wealth, and even married the princess under this title. If it weren't for me, he would still be mining in the mines of Tiezhen. I am the daughter of the Marquis Mansion,
It can only be a relative who comes to visit me. If it were you, would you like him?"
Hua frowned, "I know you have resentment in your heart, but there are some things that cannot be changed. For example... he will be the heir for the rest of his life, and you can only be my natal relative."
Chu Yunli smiled and asked, "Are you warning me?"
Fahrenheit turned around with his back to her, "I'm reminding you, don't push yourself too far. As long as I'm here, it's impossible to change your identities!"
If you want to change your identity, you can no longer hide the fact that Hua gave birth to a daughter and exchanged a son. Confusing the bloodline of the Hou family can be punished.
Chu Yunli looked at her graceful back and felt convinced. To be honest, they had only been together for half a day. Although this woman accommodated her in every way, she was not without a bottom line. At least, let her change her identity and become a daughter again.
She didn't want to be the daughter of the Hou family.
Also, if Fahrenheit was willing to be ordinary, he wouldn't have caused so many things.
Chu Yunli took two steps forward and lowered her voice, "Let me remind you that the princess knows the inside story."
"So what if she knows?" Hua Shi said confidently, "Does she dare to say it?"
Chu Yunli nodded, "She really didn't dare to say it, but she knew that you were starting to want me to be your concubine, and she would definitely embarrass me."
Hua waved his hand and walked out, "Don't worry, I won't let her bully you! You are tired too, take a good rest."
As she closed the door, she thought of something again and said, "By the way, I'll ask grandma to tell you to behave yourself later. I don't ask you to be good at it, but at least don't be rude."
Chu Yunli walked around the house. Although everything was exquisite, it was definitely not the house of a Hou Mansion girl. It looked like...a guest room.
Fahrenheit is really cautious!
But it doesn't matter, Chu Yunli didn't come here to become the daughter of the Hou family, she just came to muddy the waters.
It was time for a nap now. Chu Yunli didn't want to sleep, so he just leaned on the soft couch and took a nap, thinking about the next plan in his mind.
She heard the door being pushed open and someone walked in. Without opening her eyes, she heard soft footsteps and walked directly in front of her.
"Can you still sleep?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his proud tone.
Chu Yunli opened her eyes and saw the princess without surprise, "Hello, cousin."
The princess snorted coldly, "Why are you pretending? Who among you doesn't know who you are?"
Chu Yunli squinted her eyes and said suddenly, "I remember, you are still looking for someone to kill me."
The culprit who killed Dai Yushan was the princess in front of her. Just now she just wanted to muddy the waters, and it seemed that she had to find a way to kill the person in front of her.
The princess frowned, "If you don't fight with me, how can I kill you?"
Chu Yunli smiled, "What did I fight with you for? Is it just that wretched man?"
"Then don't worry, I will never compete with you!"
After hearing this, the princess said angrily, "What do you mean?"
Chu Yunli spread his hands, "That's what it means literally! I will never marry anyone as a concubine, but you came to kill me after hearing some unfounded rumors. If I really die, how unjust it will be!"
That’s right!
If Dai Yushan had not died unjustly, she would not have come here!
The princess snorted coldly, "Not everyone can be so tired that I can do it."
"What do you mean, if you kill me, I still feel honored?" Chu Yunli almost laughed angrily.
The princess ignored this and walked around the room, saying, "Actually, I don't understand why Mrs. Hou still wants to take you back. If your true identity is discovered, her status will not be guaranteed. Say no."
You will definitely lose your life."
Chu Yunli deeply thought so.
Looking at it this way, maybe Hua still has a bit of mother-daughter affection for this daughter. Although her daughter is not as important as herself, she still tries her best to arrange her daughter's life. Even if there is a small accident during this period, such as Qin's!
When Hua asked Qin to take good care of her daughter, she probably didn't expect that this woman would be so vicious.
They paid money there, but as a result, their daughter was treated harshly, and she was so tired that after she got her back, mother and daughter had to be careful when getting along with each other.
It would be a lie to say that Fahrenheit is not afraid that her daughter will blame her for being treated harshly!
Comparing one's feelings with one's own, who wouldn't be angry if someone changes his mind?
The princess continued, "No matter what, it means that she doesn't like me as her daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law he is most satisfied with is you."
Chu Yunli emphasized again, "I will not marry into the Hou family!"
The princess immediately said, "Since you don't covet the wealth of the Marquis Mansion, then go back! What are you doing here?"
Chu Yunli stood up and shook his head in refusal, "I am the daughter of the Hou family, and your man is a miner in the mine. Where do you have the nerve to ask me to go back?"
"You..." The princess was so angry that she slapped him over.
Chu Yunli grabbed her wrist and shook her back hard.
The princess was so shaken that she almost lost her balance, but managed to regain her balance and said angrily, "You are so presumptuous!"
"I'm so presumptuous, what can you do to me?" Chu Yunli didn't take it seriously and sneered, "If you mess with me again, I'll go to Marquis Wu Ning and tell you all the inside story. I won't believe it.
He would be willing to entrust the prince's mansion into the hands of a bastard."
If Chen Xuanyi is no longer the heir apparent, then she will marry a miner?
It's better to catch a son-in-law who is under the ranking, and he is a new scholar after all.
The princess turned pale, "Your mother won't let you do this!"
"I won't do it if she doesn't let me do it?" Chu Yunli's face was full of leisure, "She sent me away and let me suffer without caring about me. Since she can live or die just for a good life, then
I can leave her alone."
The princess was speechless.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, please stop bullying me." Chu Yunli continued teasing, "My life is worthless anyway, at worst I won't be alive."
The princess was so angry that she walked away!
It's okay to be angry. Such a noble person doesn't dare to hit or scold. You have to wait for her to take action first and then get the evidence. Perfect!
In the evening, when Wu Ninghou came back, Hua specially found her two daughters and sat down to have a meal together. She had good intentions and wanted to have a meal together as a family, but for Chen Ji, her wife was older than her.
Many girls dine together, either because they value this guest or because they want to take concubines for him!
This girl has never been to the house before, so she cannot be an honored guest, so it can only be the latter.
Therefore, Chen Ji felt very uncomfortable. He took a few bites of food, stood up and said, "I have something to do in the study, so you can eat slowly."
Then he looked at Chu Yunli and said, "Miss Hua, don't be polite. Just treat this place as your own. If you need anything, just ask the maid to take care of it."
Chu Yunli nodded in agreement, and Chen Ji walked out of the door in a few steps.
Chen Tiantian was a little disappointed, "Dad just came back and left again."
Hua Shi was even more disappointed than she was. She looked at Chu Yunli and said, "Master Hou is busy with official duties. There will be many opportunities in the future. Don't worry about it."
After hearing this, Chen Tiantian was a little strange. Her father was already very polite to the guests. If it weren't for her mother's sake, she wouldn't have said this last sentence. Why did her mother mean this and still feel that the guests were ignored?
?
Her eyes swept between the two of them. She didn't know what she thought of, but she looked at Chu Yunli warily.
After dinner, Chu Yunli returned to the courtyard, and Chen Tiantian chased her out. He hesitated to speak along the way. Seeing that the two of them were about to part ways, he finally pulled Chu Yunli's sleeve and said, "My parents have a very good relationship. You
Don’t…don’t…”
Chu Yunli: "..." This girl thinks too much!
She quite liked this lively girl and said with a smile, "What do you want to say? I am just a guest and I will leave soon."
Chen Tiantian smiled and said, "Sister Tuoshan, I actually like you quite a lot." After saying that, he turned around and left with the maid.
Chu Yunli laughed, turned around and walked towards his yard. It was getting late at this time, and it was so gray outside that it was difficult to see clearly. When he walked around the rockery and reached the yard, someone suddenly rushed over to him. Chu Yunli
Li subconsciously raised her legs, and the person who rushed towards her was kicked away by her.
Chen Xuanqi lay on the ground, his face full of pain, "...cousin, it's me."
Chu Yunli: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" If I had known it was you, no matter how strong I was, if I didn't kick you and vomit blood, I would lose!!
