Chapter 39
"If she doesn't come, she won't come. What's so angry about it?"

Xia Jing didn't care about this, since they are not mother and daughter, there is no need to force herself to make false claims with someone she doesn't like just to show off to outsiders.

The two who disliked each other pretended to be courteous and greeted each other with smiles. Thinking about it, she felt tired and flustered. She might as well drink tea quietly. There happened to be well water on the road, and drinking water was much more convenient.

"Come to pay your respects. This is the respect the princess should have for you as a child. She disrespects her elders so much. You should tell the prince about it." Hongmei wanted to ask the princess to teach her, but she thought that the princess was just a stepmother. Then he changed his mouth.

After all, it's hard for a stepmother!

After Xia Jing heard what she said, she just laughed it off, she didn't need to break it up and tell the servant girl what she was thinking.

Ignoring the bumps of the carriage, just drinking tea and looking at the scenery outside the window, life is much more pleasant than the end of the world!
After a while, Xia Jing seemed to remember something, she turned her head and said to Hongmei: "We have joined the lord's team for a few days, when we stop to rest, don't forget to go to Zeng Yan and ask him about my concubine's life. 'How are those private properties and private treasuries handled?"

Hearing this, the two maidservants suddenly remembered that they had forgotten to collect the princess's private property.

Compared with the private property of the princess, the upbringing of the princess is insignificant.

Hongmei bowed her head and answered, "Yes, when we get to the resting place, the slaves will go to the housekeeper."

"Well, what is my concubine's property, I believe you know better than me, the master, and I will leave this matter to you."

After all, Xia Jing turned her gaze out of the window again, "The closer you get to Runan, the flatter the terrain, have you ever been to Runan?"

The two big maids shook their heads, they were sold when they were young, and traveled to many places in Yu Dynasty, but Runan had never been here.

Because of the flat terrain, the endless team looked quite imposing.

Many refugees on the side of the road saw such a large team, and they all avoided it from a distance.

I opened the curtains and wanted to see the scenery, but I didn't expect that there were more and more refugees on the roadside, many of them were in groups, and some of them had ox carts.

A cow peed while walking regardless of its image. The dry weather caused the smell of urine to float into the carriage with the wind, making Li Chengxian hold her nose and curse:

"You are all dead! Can't you smell such a strong smell? Why don't you quickly put down the car curtain!"

The servant girl didn't dare to refute, and quickly lowered the curtain, but the peculiar smell in the compartment would not dissipate for a while, and combined with the original incense in the compartment, the smell was absolutely insane!
After a while, there was the sound of vomiting in the compartment.

"Stop, the main transfer in this county!"

The team that was going along the road was temporarily disrupted by her, and the team following her had to stop.

Hearing the commotion behind, Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Changping Hou, who was lying with her eyes closed and meditating, opened her eyes.

"Ma'am, are you awake?" The servant girl stepped forward to help her sit up.

Mrs. Changping Hou leaned on the couch and looked out the window, "What's going on outside?"

As soon as the commotion started outside, a servant girl went out to find out the situation. When she asked, the servant girl who stood on the shaft of the carriage and learned about the situation came in with the curtain lifted.

"Reporting to Madam, it was Mrs. Shizi's carriage that stopped, saying that she wanted to change to another carriage. As soon as her carriage stopped, the team behind her also stopped accordingly. Everyone was caught off guard for a while, which caused the team to be a bit chaotic. .”

Mrs. Changping Hou sneered after hearing this: "I have never seen such a hypocritical woman before, you go and tell her, Mrs. Ben is here!"

Since there is nothing wrong with giving her a carriage alone, let's take one with her.

The maid responded and got out of the carriage.

Li Chengxian, who was about to occupy the daughter-in-law's carriage behind her, heard Madam Hou's invitation, and her domineering momentum froze for a moment.

She turned her head to look at the maid who had sent the message, and asked incredulously, "What did you say? Ma'am, what do you want me to do?"

"I don't know what is the specific matter." The servant girl lowered her head and stared at her toes.

The eldest son's family, who were about to vacate the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief. They were all used to their own carriage, and it would definitely be uncomfortable to change to a temporary one.

Even if grandma calls mother away, only grandma can suppress mother in the entire Hou Mansion.

Li Chengxian straightened the hem of her skirt, then helped the hair ornament on her head, and after a long while, she raised her foot and walked to Madam Hou's carriage in front.

"Mother."

"Well, sit down."

In the eyes of Mrs. Changpinghou, her son is the best, even if he is married to a princess. She feels that her son is wronged by marrying the princess of Qianwang's mansion.

Looking at the princess in front of me again, she is unruly, self-willed, domineering, and has been married into the Hou's mansion for 20 years.

Li Chengxian lowered her head, not noticing the disgust in Madam Changpinghou's eyes at all.

Mrs. Changping Hou knocked on the wall of the carriage, and the carriage started to move after a while.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, she asked lightly, "Tell me, what happened just now?"

Li Chengxian smiled awkwardly, "Mother, I didn't make trouble, it's just"

Mrs. Chang Ping Hou didn't want to listen to her sophistry, so she interrupted before she finished speaking, "No trouble? Just because your carriage stopped, the whole convoy behind stopped, and you haven't made trouble yet? Are you going to stop?" It’s only trouble that makes people fall on their backs?”

She is 1 dissatisfied with this noble daughter-in-law. She has only one son, and she has married a daughter-in-law with a higher status than her.

If it hadn't been for all these years, she has been suppressing the other party with filial piety, maybe the other party would have demolished the Hou's mansion long ago, so how could she live a good life as a mother-in-law.

Seeing the other party sitting there with his head down like a quail as honest as a quail, he cursed inwardly: "You bastard who bullies the weak and fears the hard!"

"Cough cough!"

Hearing the sound of coughing, Li Chengxian reacted quickly, got up slightly and poured a cup of warm water to Mrs. Changping Hou, "Mother, your throat is uncomfortable, hurry up and drink some tea to moisten it."

Mrs. Chang Ping Hou glanced at her, hummed unremarkably, took a sip from the teacup.

She returned the teacup to her, and then said: "I heard that you haven't paid your respects to your concubine mother from yesterday to today?"

Li Chengxian put the teacup on the coffee table, and said in a low voice: "Well, it was too late last night so I didn't bother her old man, and today I was busy arranging some trivial matters for departure, so I was delayed. When I got to the place to rest at night, my daughter-in-law Go to pay your respects to the concubine."

Mrs. Changping Hou's tone slowed down, "Children only distinguish between likes and dislikes, adults only look at the pros and cons. When the Xia family married into the palace, you were already married. This lady knows that although you have the title of mother and daughter, there are not many mothers and daughters." mutual affection.

But she is your elder after all, the team is next to each other, just the distance between the front and back feet, but you don't go to greet her, how will outsiders arrange you if they find out?Outsiders will only think that Mrs. Changping Hou Shizi has a small belly and is not big enough. "

The most important thing is that Lord Hou has always wanted to maintain the relationship with Prince Qian's Mansion.

If Li Chengxian disrespected the Xia family, what would King Qian think?Would he think that she had listened to the instigation of the elders of the Hou Mansion, so she dared to blatantly despise Princess Qian?
