Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 398 Gossip
Zhao Wangshu returned to her mother's home. She didn't look for her father, as he was in the government office. She looked for her grandmother, Zhao Cui, and asked, "Grandma, has daddy been meeting up with people for tea recently?"

Zhao Cui was quite alert, "Is there something wrong with that person?"

"That man is Prince Zuo's henchman. Grandma, you know, His Majesty has not yet appointed a crown prince. Although Prince Zuo is very likely, His Majesty has two sons. What if His Majesty does not appoint the eldest son but the youngest one?" Zhao Wangshu said seriously.

"The older he gets, the dumber he gets. He makes friends with anyone and isn't afraid of ruining his entire family." Zhao Cui said angrily.

Fortunately, Zhao Cheng was not with her at the time, otherwise she would have been beaten.

"Dad likes to make friends. It's not a big deal. But now is an extraordinary period, so it's better to be cautious." Zhao Wangshu comforted him.

"You, don't speak for him. What's the point of saying he likes making friends? He's just lazy and stupid. He has me and mother to support him at home, and his son-in-law and son to protect him outside. He doesn't even use his brain. He just eats and drinks all day long and doesn't care about anything." Zhao Cui's hands were itching to hit someone.

Zhao Wangshu remained silent. Her father deserved to be taught a lesson.

After lunch, Zhao Wangshu was about to take his son home. Little Zhao Jun hugged his little cousin and refused to let go, shouting to his aunt, "Ah, ah, ah."

"Oh, Xiao Jun'er, your auntie can't understand your baby talk." Zhao Wangshu smiled and touched his head.

Song Yuanqu coaxed him, "Jun'er, be good. Your brother is going home with your aunt. In a few days, your mother will take you to your aunt's house to play with your brother, okay?"

Little Zhao Jun blinked his big eyes, looking reluctant.

"Ahhh." Xiao Yunyu seemed to be trying to persuade his cousin, and Xiao Zhaojun let go.

The two brothers babbled and spoke a few words in baby language, and then little Yunyu threw himself into Zhao Wangshu's arms.

Zhao Wangshu hugged little Yunyu and kissed his little face, "Yu'er, say goodbye to grandma, grandmother, aunt, sister, and brother. We are going home."

Little Yunyu buried his head in his mother's shoulder. He was still young and couldn't speak such long words.

On the way back, the carriage was stopped again by the crazy Jiang Dandan. Zhao Wangshu was very puzzled when he saw Jiang Dandan being forcibly supported away.

When Yao Shanzhi came to visit, she told her about this matter, "They say the Jiang family doesn't care about her, but she's surrounded by servants and maids. They say the Jiang family cares about her, but they let her run around like a madman. What do you think the Jiang family is saying?"

"I heard about it." Yao Shanzhi leaned forward.

Zhao Wangshu subconsciously moved closer and asked in a low voice, "What did you hear?"

"Jiang Dandan is haunted by an evil spirit." Yao Shanzhi said seriously.

Zhao Wangshu was amused by her, "You believe this, where does a fierce ghost come from in this world?"

"Everything I said is true. Jiang Dandan once killed someone. She was haunted by that person's ghost, so she became crazy." Yao Shanzhi said seriously.

"Last time you said that she went crazy because of the death of Prince Liangbi, who made her a widow. This time you said that she was haunted by an evil spirit. So next time are you going to tell me that Jiang Dandan is actually a fairy from heaven who was demoted to the mortal world because she made a mistake and suffered all these hardships?" Zhao Wangshu joked.

"With her vicious look, how could she be a fairy who has descended to earth? You are the fairy who has descended to earth, and you are so beautiful." Yao Shanzhi said, reaching out to touch Zhao Wangshu's face and making a lustful expression.

Zhao Wangshu hit her in the air and scolded her with a smile: "Not serious."

"Beauty, come and have a drink with me." Yao Shanzhi picked up the teacup, raised his eyebrows, and said in a gangster tone.

"Young master, if you don't show any appreciation, you want someone to have a drink with you. That's impossible." Zhao Wangshu started to act with her.

"Here, this cup of tea is my gift to the beauty." Yao Shanzhi said, and handed the teacup in his hand to Zhao Wangshu's lips.

"This tea seems to be from my house, right?" Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows. "I am offering this to you. Come on, my beauty, have a sip." Yao Shanzhi put his arm around her shoulders and pretended to pour her some wine.

"You are so skilled, you must have been to a brothel disguised as a man, right?" Zhao Wangshu pushed her away and asked suspiciously.
"I wanted to go there, but I didn't dare because I was afraid that my mother would lock me up in the mansion for eternity and not let me go out." Yao Shanzhi sighed, "I went to the brothel for no other reason than to try the food there. Is it delicious?"

"The food isn't as delicious as the ones in the restaurants outside." Zhao Wangshu said firmly.

"How do you know? You've been there!" Yao Shanzhi stared at Zhao Wangshu.

"No, there's nothing good about going to that kind of place. It's full of filth and foul smell. I won't go there." Zhao Wangshu said with a look of disgust.

"Then how do you know that the food in the brothel is not as delicious as the food in the restaurant outside?" Yao Shanzhi asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's easy to imagine. Do men go to brothels to taste delicious food?" Zhao Wangshu asked back.

Yao Shanzhi thought about it and realized that this was true. He smiled and nodded, "That makes sense."

"Everything is going on at Minglitang, right?" Zhao Wangshu had her son to take care of and had to take care of the affairs in the mansion. She did not go to Minglitang as often as Yao Shanzhi, but she was in charge of the accounts.

"It's okay, they are all very well behaved." Yao Shanzhi pursed her lips and smiled, "But it's Wang Xiu Niang who has been noticed by someone."

"Which embroidery building?" Zhao Wangshu asked with a frown.

Yao Shanzhi smiled, "It's not Xiu Lou, it's Li the peddler. They fell in love with each other and want to get married."

"Did they know each other before?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

"I don't think he knows her, right?" Yao Shanzhi was uncertain.

"If they didn't know each other before, that is to say, they have only known each other for two months at most, isn't it a bit too hasty to get married so soon?" Zhao Wangshu was worried that Wang Xiu Niang, who had been hurt in love, would be deceived again.

"I know what you are worried about. I have asked someone to investigate the peddler Li. If there is anything wrong with him, he will never be able to marry Wang Xiu Niang."

"Gardenia, thank you." Zhao Wangshu said gratefully.

"If you want to thank me, ask your cook to make more of my favorite cakes."

"The cook made date paste shortbread today. Do you like it?" Zhao Wangshu asked with a smile.

"Yue'er, you are the best." Yao Shanzhi hugged Zhao Wangshu.

At this time, the nurse brought the waking little Yun Yu to her. Yao Shanzhi happily held the little guy in her arms and asked him to call, "Yu'er, I am your godmother. Come, call me godmother."

Little Yunyu never called her godmother, but she called Yunyu godmother countless times.

Zhao Wangshu had reminded her before that little Yunyu was still young and couldn't call people yet, but Yao Shanzhi didn't listen and insisted on teaching her, so she could only let her do what she wanted.

Yao Shanzhi comes over every now and then to develop feelings with Xiao Yunyu.

Except for occasionally thinking about Yunhao who was away from home, Zhao Wangshu lived a pretty comfortable life.

On the sixth day of the second lunar month, the peddler Li's mother invited a matchmaker to come to Mingli Hall to propose marriage to Wang Xiu Niang.

Wang Xiu Niang asked her blind mother and she agreed to the marriage.

The left side of my face was numb all the time, and I wanted to get acupuncture, but they said there were many people getting acupuncture, and the time they gave me was between 7 and 8 pm, so I didn't want to. Since I lost my hearing in my left ear, I dare not go out, let alone at night.
