Help!The icy grandpa has moved my heart

Chapter 218 Protecting Her Otherworldly Soul

Qu Fulan hurriedly put the jade pendant back into the space, then got up to meet Prince Pei.

As soon as Pei Ji'an entered the door, his eyes sized Qu Fulan up and down, and then he casually asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Qu Fulan felt that Pei Shizi was a little weird at this time, but he couldn't tell what was weird, so he told her about the places she had just been to, and then asked what was wrong.

Pei Ji'an lifted up her robe and sat down, took the tea from the servant girl, and said calmly, "Well, it's nothing, just ask casually."

Qu Fulan didn't tell about the shining jade pendant. She didn't know what the purpose of Pei Shizi's jade pendant was, but the purpose of taking this jade pendant was to protect her otherworldly soul.

So now that she can't understand things, she can easily say it out loud, probably because she thinks her life is too long.

Otherwise, if Prince Pei knew that her jade pendant would shine, he would have to inquire about the reason, right?If she found out something, how would she explain it?

Anyway, for those who have traveled through time, it is always right to act cautiously, so talk less and do more.

As for the reason why the jade pendant glows, she believes that she will be able to figure it out sooner or later.

But on Erfang's side, because Cheng Ru has recovered his mood recently, the affairs in the mansion are temporarily ignored.

The second wife's illness can't get rid of the root cause, and it's also because of her age, there is no way to do it.

It stands to reason that Ren Hua, as a daughter-in-law, should help manage some things, but she has just passed through the door, and many things have not been figured out yet, so she can't manage the family for the time being.

What's more, as a daughter-in-law, she has to take care of her sick mother-in-law. Many things have to be done step by step.

Now things are mostly on the third girl alone, and she has temporarily put down other work in her hand to take care of the inner house.

Fortunately, the third girl, as a concubine, still has the courage to suppress those mothers who are in charge, and let them obey the arrangements, so as not to do some things that deceive others.

In fact, Cheng Ru is better than the third girl in this regard. Although she is not from a wealthy family, especially because she looks easy to talk, in fact, she is very good at handling things, and she can handle both soft and hard Live in those housekeepers who rely on the old to sell the old.

Maybe some people are born to manage, and it is also because of this that the second wife asked Cheng Ru to assist the housekeeper.

Now, the third girl only hopes that Cheng Ru can come out soon and continue to assist her in housekeeping, otherwise it will be too hard for one person.

And when Cheng Ru will get better, I don't know for the time being, but because Cheng Ru doesn't care about things for the time being, Master Lu's treatment at the family temple has also been neglected.

Originally, three meals a day were delivered by a special person, and they were all hot and good meals. Now Mrs. Lu ate cold meals for several days in a row.

The key is that the person who delivered the food was not on time, and the morning food was not delivered until noon, which made people hungry early in the morning, and the food delivered was already cold, and it still felt like leftovers. If there is nothing in summer, how can you eat it now that the oil is clumped in winter?
Mrs. Lu had to make a fire by herself to reheat the food, but because she hadn't picked up firewood for a long time, there was no firewood in the family temple, so she had to go up the mountain to pick up firewood and come back to make a fire hungry.

Being so aggrieved, it was imperative to ask about Cheng Ru's situation.

Most of the servants act according to the wind. In the past, Cheng Ru was a housekeeper, and they needed to act according to their face. Now that Cheng Ru is like this, they naturally have nothing to fear, "Don't you know, Master? Miss Cheng is ashamed now , It’s too late to hide in the room and cry, how can I take care of things here? Master will be self-sufficient in the future. There are kitchens in the left and right temples, firewood in the back mountain, money, rice, oil and salt are not bad. We are all very busy. , I don’t have so much time to come and deliver food.”

Master Lu was humiliated by such words, so she was naturally angry, but she tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and said calmly, "What happened? What happened to Cheng Ru?"

The servant girl didn't mind saying, anyway, it's fine if the matter doesn't get out, so she told the story again.

"Tsk tsk, if someone said they didn't see their body, who knows if it's true or not? Maybe they've seen everything, otherwise why haven't they dared to go out yet?"

People's words are scary, and it's nothing more than three people becoming tigers. Anyway, no one has seen whether it is true or false, and it is all based on guesswork.

After the maid finished speaking, she swaggered away, while Mrs. Lu frowned in disgust and worried.

Since Prince Pei spoke, Cheng Ru was the only one in Pei's mansion who could take care of Mrs. Lu as a cousin. As for the third girl, they were not allowed to participate as members of the family, otherwise they would be against Prince Pei.

Now that something like this happened to Cheng Ru, if she couldn't take care of herself, how could she take care of Master Lu?
Lu Fuzi was naturally uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that in the future, he would have to look at other people's faces for basic necessities of life, and his heart became more and more gloomy.

Such a day, I'm afraid it will last until Lord Hou returns.

Mrs. Lu closed his eyes hard, endured all kinds of humiliation and discomfort in his heart, and tried his best to eat the rice in the bowl.

But on the other hand, Ji Nishang's life is not easy.

She wanted to send people into Qu Fulan's "pig knuckle noodles" shop to try out the secret recipe, but they didn't accept any assistants at all, so naturally there was no way.

In the end, after much deliberation, Ji Nishang also came to her own realization. She is not bad, why must she follow the other party's steps?She can do business according to her own ideas.

When the business grows bigger, it will naturally overwhelm the Pei family, make my aunt happy, and make her cousin notice her.

As for Qu Fulan, she is a helpless orphan girl, now she sees the Pei family as her backer, when Prince Pei marries a wife in the future, where will there be a place for her?
Where else can she go besides the Xiao family?After arriving at the Xiao family, everything will be under better control.

Ji Nishang thought about it, so he started looking for new business opportunities based on his understanding of the capital city.

In the end, she decided to start a clothing business, which is very profitable. Anyway, she has capital, and she can start doing it after the new year.

After the new year, Qu Fulan will be one year older.

Then a big event happened in Pei's residence.

Marquis Pei came back, of course he brought Mrs. Marquis with him.

It's just that Mrs. Hou was seriously injured, she was in a coma, and the border conditions were not good, so she had to be taken back to the capital city to recuperate.

At the same time, the war on the north-south border changed, and Pei Shizi and Xiao Shizi went to the border one from the south and the other from the north.

As soon as the news came out, Master Lu called Cheng Ru, "Master Hou is back, your great fortune has come."

After such a long period of adjusting her mentality, Cheng Ru has already stepped out of the haze of the past.

It's just that she lost a lot of prestige in Pei's mansion.

Now that Master Hou is back and the prince is about to leave again, with the help of Mrs. Lu, good luck will naturally come.

On the contrary, Qu Fulan's good luck would come to an end without Prince Pei as his backer.

It's a pity that Qu Fulan disappeared before Cheng Ru found a chance to do something.

After some inquiring, he found out that when Prince Pei went to the border, he brought Qu Fulan along with him!
