Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 409 Complaint
Yao Shanzhi entered the room and saw the little guy in Zhao Wangshu's arms looking sleepy. She asked in a low voice, "Is he going to sleep?"

"Well, I'll play with you after he wakes up." Zhao Wangshu also said in a low voice.

"Okay." Yao Shanzhi sat down beside her and looked at the little girl tenderly.

Zhao Wangshu coaxed her son to sleep, carefully placed him on the couch, covered him with a small quilt, and asked the wet nurse and the maid to look after him. She took Yao Shanzhi to the east room.

"Didn't you say you would come early in the morning? Why are you here only at this time?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

"Stop talking about it. It makes me angry." Yao Shanzhi said angrily.

Zhao Wangshu frowned and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Who provoked you?"

"I told you, I have a cousin who came to live with my family with her children."

"You said, what happened? Did she stop you and not let you go out?" Zhao Wangshu guessed.

"That's right. She said I went out yesterday and went out again today. I don't act like a lady at all. A lady from a noble family should be dignified and elegant. She should not go out of the main house or the second door. But you just run outside all day long. You really bring shame to the Yao family." Yao Shanzhi said angrily.

"Is she, is she mentally healthy?" Zhao Wangshu asked in surprise.

A poor relative who came to seek refuge was so shameless as to discipline the real owner, and he spoke so confidently, as if Yao Shanzhi was her own daughter. It was simply outrageous.

"Who knows? Anyway, I was so pissed off. I told her that she was too controlling, and she said that my parents didn't teach me well, and as an elder, she had the responsibility and obligation to help my parents teach me well." Yao Shanzhi looked disdainful, "Who does she think she is?"

"How dare you say that about your parents?" Zhao Wangshu was also a little angry, "You should tell your mother about this."

"I'm not the kind of person who complains when something happens. I said on the spot that my parents taught me well and she doesn't need to worry about me. I'm the Princess of Yixing County, I have a rank, salary, and fiefdom. I don't need to rely on a man to live, so I don't need to be confined to the inner house."

"Well said." Zhao Wangshu praised.

Yao Shanzhi continued, "After I said those words, she left in anger. Then my father called me over and told me that I shouldn't be so stupid."

Zhao Wangshu was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"My dad said she was stupid, am I stupid too? Why should I argue with her? Even if I win, she is my elder and I embarrass her. Is it good to be disrespectful to elders? I can just ignore her."

"Don't argue with a fool. What your father said makes sense." Zhao Wangshu nodded in agreement.

"But that's my home. What right does she have to tell me what to do? And her daughter is not a good person either. She said in a sarcastic way that I have never worn such a nice dress. It's not as precious as Sister Gardenia's. Humph, it's ridiculous. Who does she think she is?"

"My mother is the eldest princess and my father is the general. Who is her mother? Who is her father? How dare they compare themselves with me!" Yao Shanzhi became angrier and angrier as he spoke.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Come, have some cakes." Zhao Wangshu took a piece of peony flower cake and stuffed it into her hand. "They come to seek refuge, but there is no need to let them live in your house."

Yao Shanzhi bit a bite of the peony flower cake with resentment, "My father is very good to his son. He cares a lot about him. In order to let him enter high school in the next spring exam, my father specially invited a great scholar to teach him."

Zhao Wangshu frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

"Yue'er, what are you thinking about?" Yao Shanzhi asked. "Zhizi, your father is not thinking of finding a husband for you, is he?" Zhao Wangshu asked uncertainly.

"Impossible, I said I wouldn't marry. Wait, this is really possible." Yao Shanzhi slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "No wonder my father took them in and treated them so well. He also asked me to tolerate my cousin's aunt. It turns out that he wants to marry me to her son, cough cough cough."

Zhao Wangshu handed her the cup and said, "Drink some water, don't choke."

Yao Shanzhi drank the water and snorted coldly, "Not to mention that I won't marry, even if I want to marry, I won't marry him. Being a daughter-in-law to that kind of person is unlucky for eight lifetimes. If my father dares to force me, I will cut off my hair and become a nun."

"You're talking nonsense again. You should talk to your father and make your attitude clear. Your parents love you so much that they won't force you to do anything you don't want to do." Zhao Wangshu's eyes turned, "Besides, as a nun, you have to be a vegetarian all year round. You are a meat lover, can you tolerate it?"

Yao Shanzhi licked his lips and said, "Forget it. I'll think of another way to scare my parents."

"You." Zhao Wangshu smiled reproachfully.

Yao Shanzhi giggled, picked up a piece of peony flower cake and continued to eat it.

She had lunch at the Yun Mansion and played with little Yunyu for most of the day before returning to the Princess' Mansion, not the General's Mansion, with a tray of peony flower rice cakes.

When she saw Princess Pingyang, Yao Shanzhi pursed her lips and cried, "Mother, mother."

Princess Pingyang was shocked, "What's going on?"

Yao Shanzhi exaggerated and complained about her father, "I am the daughter of a princess, a county lady personally appointed by my uncle the emperor. There are so many famous families in the capital, but I don't like them. But my father actually wants to marry me to a poor scholar. Mother, am I my father's biological daughter? Can he really not tolerate his own daughter?"

"Your father has always doted on you, how could he not tolerate you? You are not allowed to act nonsense." Princess Pingyang was not so easily fooled.

"I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth, mother. Otherwise, why would father want me to be filial to her and listen to her? She is just my cousin, and it is not my turn to be filial to her. Father just wants me to marry her son and be her daughter-in-law." Yao Shanzhi said angrily.

"Gardenia, don't I know what kind of person your father is? He has always loved you, so how could he marry you to a poor scholar? Besides, even if he wanted to, I, as your mother, would not agree." Princess Pingyang gently stroked Yao Shanzhi's hair and comforted her softly.

"Mother, I won't marry him regardless of whether he's a poor scholar or a rich young man." Yao Shanzhi quickly added, worried that Princess Pingyang would misunderstand that she had changed her mind.

She didn't dislike her cousin because he was a poor scholar, nor did she just hate her aunt, but she didn't want to get married.

A trace of heartache flashed across Princess Pingyang's eyes. She had thought it was a good marriage between two people of equal social status, but she didn't expect Qingluan to lose her partner.

Yao Shanzhi was sentimental and stubborn, which made Princess Pingyang feel helpless. The mother and daughter had talked about this matter many times, but knowing that they could not convince their daughter, Princess Pingyang could only let it go.

Looking at the food box on the table, Princess Pingyang asked with a smile, "Wangshu, what did he bring back for you?"

"Peony flower glutinous rice cake." Yao Shanzhi took the peony flower glutinous rice cake out of the food box, "Mother, please try it. It tastes delicious. There is peony flower sauce in it."

"Is Yu'er well behaved?" Princess Pingyang no longer expected Yao Shanzhi to get married, and she treated Yao Shanzhi's godson as her own grandson.

"Good boy, so good. He has already started learning to speak. Soon, he will be able to call me godmother." Yao Shanzhi said with longing.
