Chapter 54: There is no separation
Does Su Chengying really care about the jewelry?
Naturally not.

She was just looking for an opportunity to add some spice to the ecstasy potion that Dongfang Ronglu had already drunk.

Seeing that Dongfang Ronglu's posture and momentum had changed, Su Chengying knew that it was almost done, so she thought about it and said again, "If Miss Lu marries well, the second lady will no longer have to work all day long, although she will take care of the shop." It’s a job to make money, but in the final analysis, you’re still busy for others. If you’re busy well, it’s worth 1 yuan. If you’re not busy well, the fourth lady’s life may not be easy.”

Dongfang Ronglu frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I just think that Miss Lu will be the concubine of the Fourth Prince in the future, and she will have a good reputation. Once the Fourth Lady is really wronged in the palace, Miss Lu's face will probably not look good." Su Cheng saw Dongfang Ronglu. When his expression changed, he knew he had heard what he said.

When the point was made, Su Chengying said no more and turned to leave.

Although Dongfang Ronglu didn't want to agree, she knew that what Su Chengying said was not wrong. In the past, when she and her mother helped the eldest lady Liu manage the shop, they were often oppressed and looked down upon by the eldest lady Liu.

But then was before, and now is now.

If after she gets married, her mother continues to be dependent on Mrs. Liu, will her face be disgraced in the Fourth Prince's Mansion?
Thinking like this, Dongfang Ronglu stepped firmly and hurried back to the yard of the second room.

Seeing her daughter's tense face, the second lady Sun thought she was concerned about the words of the third lady Jin, and quickly comforted her, "Your third aunt is just jealous of us. There is no need to take her words seriously."

Dongfang Ronglu said, "The third aunt can say such things, not because my mother has been begging for money from my eldest aunt these years. If my mother can straighten up, who would dare to say anything about our second wife?"

The second lady, Mrs. Sun, sighed, "Your eldest aunt is the mistress of the house, and she is backed by Concubine Liu Ren in the palace. Even the old lady wants to make love to her. How can we dare to do anything like this?"

Dongfang Ronglu took the second lady Sun's hand and said, "My daughter knows that these years have not been easy for her mother, but in the future, her daughter will be married to the fourth prince's mansion. Does mother really hope that someone else will poke her daughter's spine in the future? Do you think my mother is just a person who needs to please my sister-in-law to survive in the house?"

The second lady, Mrs. Sun, remained silent and did not speak.

"Mother, from now on, your daughter will be the concubine of the fourth prince. You no longer have to live by looking at other people's faces. Do you believe in your daughter? She will definitely support you, okay?" Dongfang Ronglu quickly took out Su Chengying. The golden hairpin as a gift, "Look, even the princess of the Tang Dynasty wants to fawn over me now."

Of course, the second wife, Mrs. Sun, did not want to be oppressed by the eldest wife, Mrs. Liu. Now, when she looked at the golden hairpin given by Su Chengying, she seemed to see endless glory and wealth in the future.

But she still didn't finish her words, "Your aunt is also very good to us, let's take a look and talk about it."

Dongfang Ronglu was obviously disappointed, but couldn't say anything more.

Su Chengying was counting the time here, guessing that Dongfang Ronglu had already talked to the second lady Sun at this moment, so she went directly to the courtyard of the main house.

Mrs. Liu was obviously surprised when she saw Su Chengying coming, "Why are you here, Your Highness?" Su Chengying sat down and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, in the days since I got married, I haven't sat down with the eldest lady properly. Let’s talk.”

No matter what, Su Chengying was a princess who had married from Yuan Dynasty in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the eldest lady Liu was Dongfang Yuebai's stepmother, so she had to take the initiative to visit Su Chengying, both emotionally and logically.

However, the eldest lady Liu was already jealous of Dongfang Yuebai for marrying the princess, so how could she take the initiative to visit her?
Hearing what Su Chengying said, Madam Liu said, "It's all because I was too busy with the things at hand, so I hope Her Majesty the Princess doesn't mind."

Su Chengying was sitting here today not to care about these trivial matters. She followed the words of Mrs. Liu and continued, "I know that Mrs. Liu is busy. Originally, I thought of taking over several shops owned by Mrs. Liu. It also allows the Second Madam and Miss Lu to have more free time to help the First Madam with other shops..."

Mrs. Liu's heart tightened, as she couldn't detect the show off in Su Chengying's words.

"But I don't expect that Miss Lu will soon become the concubine of the fourth prince. If this is the case, Miss Lu and the second lady may not be able to continue to help the eldest lady manage the shop in the future." Su Chengying said with a smile on her face. , "But it doesn't matter. If the eldest lady is really busy, I will just take the initiative to visit the eldest lady."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu's expression turned dark uncontrollably.

Su Chengying paused and then said, "But if Madam needs any help in the future, just ask me and I will try my best to help. After all, without Madam's generous concession, how would I have had the opportunity to manage those medicine shops."

Not only is it showing off, it’s not over yet, right?
The eldest lady Liu suppressed the fire in her heart and said with a smile, "Your Highness the Princess has a distinguished status, so I don't want to trouble you, but please rest assured, Your Highness the Princess, my second brother and I have always had a close relationship, even if Sister Lu is in the future After marrying into the fourth prince’s palace, my second younger brother and sister will still help me manage the shop.”

Su Chengying said in surprise, "By that time, the Second Madam can also be called the mother-in-law of the Fourth Prince. If she continues to help the First Madam with the livelihood of the shop, wouldn't she be looking down on herself?" She seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing. , smiled quickly and said, "Madam, please forgive me, I have always been more direct in my speech."

Madam Liu, "..."

"Your Highness, you are serious. The shop I own is owned by the Dongfang family. As the daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion, it is natural for my two younger siblings to help take care of the servants in the mansion. How can I be so arrogant about it?" Even though the fire in Mrs. Liu's heart was burning uncontrollably, there was still no flaw in her face.

Su Chengying was denied by Mrs. Liu one after another, so she did not continue the argument. She sat down for a while and then stood up to leave.

As soon as Su Chengying left, Mother Li looked at Madam Liu and said, "I don't think Princess Shengtang would say this for no reason. Could it be that the Second Madam really doesn't intend to continue to help Madam run the shop?" the meaning of?"

Madam Liu sneered, "Since she could snatch the shop from me, how could she expect me to do well? She probably saw that Sister Lu was about to get married, so she came here to sow discord."

Madam Liu doesn't know much about business or medicine, but when it comes to scheming, she is not inferior to the others in the house.
