Chapter 24 Respective Abacus

Musk didn't respond quickly to other things except for the things in the ledger. He thought for a long time before murmuring, "Otherwise..."

Su Chengying stretched out her hand and hit Musk on the head, "The fact that the fourth lady came to me to show her kindness is enough to prove that she is as isolated and helpless as me in this house. The more such a person is, the more cautious she will be."

Musk was startled, "Miss, you mean that the fourth lady is here to test?"

Su Chengying nodded and said, "Good birds choose trees to roost in. People who want to find shade from big trees naturally hope that the big trees they rely on have lush branches and deep roots."

Therefore, Su Chengying could not hesitate for a moment and had to go to the shop as soon as possible.

The fourth lady was finally caught now, and she couldn't let the fish get unhooked again.

That night, Su Chengying went to bed early.

After breakfast the next day, Su Chengying took Zhang's mother to the main courtyard.

Although she was in the shop and should have gone out to supervise her, the old lady was the head of the house, so according to etiquette, Su Chengying still had to inform her.

Mother Song was guarding the door. When she saw Mother Zhang coming, she laughed and said, "How comfortable are you in Jiaziyuan during this time?"

Zhang’s mother’s face darkened, “I am always from the main hospital.”

But Song's mother smiled and said, "Jiaziyuan is the first-class courtyard in our house. If you want to come back in such a hurry, it will be bad if you make the young master unhappy."

Mother Zhang froze on the spot.

Naturally, she is devoted to the old lady, but if she expresses her feelings now, wouldn't she regard the young master's yard as a place for wild beasts?But if she stood in the main courtyard and didn't express her feelings, how should the old lady miss her?
"Although Mother Zhang came to me at the request of the old lady, I know that I don't have such a big reputation to make the old lady bother. After all, the old lady still cares about the young man. Otherwise, how could I Will you send Mother Zhang to take care of her personally?"

A clear voice suddenly sounded, breaking the deadlock that bound Zhang's mother.

Mother Zhang and Mother Song were both stunned, not expecting Su Chengying to speak.

However, Su Chengying stopped clicking and urged with a smile, "Please, Mother Song, please go in and deliver the message."

Mother Song pursed her lips in disappointment, then turned around and entered the house.

"Your Highness Princess..." Zhang's mother wanted to say something.

Su Chengying interrupted directly, "If it's a thank you, there's no need, but it's just what I should do."

In the last life, Mother Song and Mother Zhang fought for power in the main courtyard. In the past, Su Chengying didn't care who lost or won, but now she naturally hopes that Mother Zhang will win.

After all, compared to Mother Song, Mother Zhang is at least kind-hearted.

Not long after, Song's mother came out and said, "Your Highness, please go in."

Su Chengying nodded, holding up her skirt and walking up the steps.

Mother Zhang stared blankly at Su Chengying's back, and began to murmur in her heart, Her Royal Highness the Princess said it was what she should do, but what exactly should she do?

Do you admire her loyalty, are you grateful for everything she has done for the government over the years, or simply think that she is a good person...

Sometimes, not having an answer is more satisfying than having a clear answer.

Just like Mother Zhang now, among countless self-affirmations and speculations and fantasies, looking at Su Chengying feels much more pleasing to the eye.

As soon as Su Chengying entered the door, she saw Princess Jing sitting next to the old lady.Princess Jing looked away when Su Chengying walked in, as if she didn't want to take another look at her.

Su Chengying didn't care, and stood in front of the old lady and said, "The old lady gave me the land deed in the mansion for a long time, but I couldn't spare the time to take a look. I have let down the old lady's thoughts. Now it's not easy." When I have some time, I want to go to a few shops."

Princess Jing still remembered what happened last time. Now when she heard Su Chengying mentioned the matter of the shop, she felt that Su Chengying was rubbing salt into her wounds. She immediately said in surprise, "I'm still wondering why Princess Shengtang is so free today. It turns out she is bother you for something."

Su Chengying knew that Princess Jing was deliberately looking for trouble, so she was not angry.

She looked at Princess Jing and said with a smile, "For the younger generation in the family, it is a courtesy to inform the elders when they go out. Although I am a princess, I also respect the old lady. Why is Princess Jing so surprised?"

Su Chengying said, the smile on her face became even wider, and the knife she stabbed became harder, "Is it the juniors in Prince Jing's residence who don't even greet Princess Jing when they go out?"

Princess Jing's face turned dark instantly, and her hands holding the armrest were trembling.

If she was really favored in Prince Jing's Mansion, she could certainly ridicule Su Chengying for not knowing anything, but Prince Jing had so many concubines that she was walking on thin ice in Prince Jing's Mansion. Now Su Chengying's words could be said to hit her in the heart.

What's more hateful!
Princess Jing had no other choice but to endure, otherwise wouldn't she be admitting the fact that she was not favored?

Su Chengying looked at Princess Jing's dark face, but she didn't smile.

If you want to stab others, you must be prepared to be stabbed in return.

The old lady frowned, her expression was not much better, but before she could speak, the eldest lady Liu who was standing aside smiled and said, "Old madam, it is a good thing that Her Royal Highness wants to check the shop in person. This is how you truly regard yourself as a member of our house."

The eldest lady, Mrs. Liu, still has some dignity after enduring all these years of humiliation in front of the old lady.

Although the old lady's expression did not improve, she did not continue the topic just now. She just looked at Su Chengying and said, "Of course I won't stop Princess Shengtang from wanting to go, but I hope Princess Shengtang will consider everything carefully and don't bring trouble to the Dongfang family. I’ll be embarrassed with you.”

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Speaking of which, those shops are quite easy to take care of. Since Her Royal Highness is willing to take over those shops, she can certainly take care of them."

The old lady snorted softly, turned around and started chatting with Princess Jing, as if Su Chengying didn't exist.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu personally escorted Su Chengying out, "Second aunt is the youngest daughter of the old lady. The old lady is used to loving second aunt, so please don't mind her."

Su Chengying smiled and said, "It's really enviable for Princess Jing to have such a loving mother as the old lady."

Madam Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled perfunctorily and said, "That's what Her Royal Highness the Princess said."

Su Chengying pretended not to see the disappointment in the eyes of the eldest lady Liu, and took Mother Zhang out of the main courtyard. She sat on the carriage, thinking about what the eldest lady Liu said and did just now, and found it very interesting.

Gentle, virtuous, tolerant and generous, even she treats her stepson's wife with courtesy...

If Su Chengying hadn't seen with her own eyes how Madam Liu taught her son in the previous life, and framed Dongfang Yuebai for being unfaithful and unfilial on the old Madam's birthday, Su Chengying would have regarded her as a virtuous stepmother.

Seeing Su Chengying's silence, Zhang's mother thought she was worried and enlightened, "Even if the young master is not the eldest madam's biological son, the eldest madam has always been very concerned about the young uncle's affairs over the years. Madam I also said that the shop for you will be easy to take care of, so don’t worry, Your Highness."

Would the eldest lady really be so kind?

I'm afraid that the deeper you smile, the deeper the hole you dig.

Su Chengying didn't explain much. She ordered the carriage outside, "Let's go."

She also wanted to see what the eldest lady had prepared for her.
