Chapter 146 Why didn’t you say her name?

The children understood what the host did not say.

He has no mother.

Later, his senior brother bought him a rattle, but he only shook it and never touched it again.

Because he has seen too many mothers buy rattles for their children, but he has no mother.

That night, Pei Yuning locked himself in Yanhua Hall and saw no one.

When I came out on the second day, my whole person seemed to have changed, but the change was not obvious.

Zhang Quanfu carefully waited for His Majesty to come to court, and then secretly looked at Pei Yuning's face.

Not to mention how happy he was, but in the past His Majesty's expression was gentle and somewhat distant.

Now that feeling of alienation has faded a little.

However, as the first person around His Majesty, he knew what to ask and what not to ask.

Moreover, the abnormality occurred only after His Majesty came over from the Queen Mother yesterday. It may have been a matter between the mother and her son, and he had nothing to do with it.

All in all, this change doesn't seem like a bad thing.

His Majesty had already ordered the Ministry of Etiquette to arrange the marriage for Princess Jiayi and Fang Shaoli, and the Duke of Xu State asked Xu Huaili to take a month's leave, saying that he had suddenly caught a cold and needed to rest for a while.

Naturally, Pei Yuning gave him permission to take leave after taking good care of him.

As for whether Xu Huaili was really sick or fake, he didn't think about it. Xu Huaili only needed to understand what he meant that day.

Xu Guogong had already made some changes at home, and Xu Huaili really lay in bed for several days.

Liu Ruomei was worried about her son and didn't understand why his son would say that to ruin her marriage.

"What happened?" Liu Ruomei asked her son softly.

Xu Huaili's face was pale, and the blood stains on his back were still there. He knelt in the ancestral hall for several days and was whipped dozens of times. It was a lie to say that it didn't hurt.

Liu Ruomei had told her son before that he wanted to marry the girl from the Xiao family, but his son showed no reluctance.

On the contrary, the light in his eyes was unmistakable at that time.

As a mother, how can she not understand her son's thoughts?

At that moment, she understood that her son was probably interested in that girl.

Since he was intentional, why did he end up in the current situation and wasted three years of his good life?

Xu Huaili looked indifferent and his voice was hoarse, "It's nothing, it's just my son's wishful thinking."

Liu Ruomei frowned slightly, what is wishful thinking?
"Your grandfather said that in order to refuse your marriage to Princess Jiayi, you said that you already had someone you liked." Liu Ruomei thought for a while and asked him, "Why didn't you tell the name of Miss Xiao San?"

When Xu Huaili heard the name, his eyes darkened, and then he quickly turned his back.

But it didn't escape Liu Ruomei's eyes, "Why?"

"Since you still like her, why don't you say her name, but instead say that the girl you loved when you were young is dead?"

Liu Ruomei asked him, refusing to let go of his expression.

Xu Huaili lowered his eyes, showing no other expression that made people guess.

I have to say that Liu Ruomei is very smart. She understands her son's temperament, and she will probably grab what she wants.

What's more, it's the one he loves. Even if Miss Xiao San doesn't like it, he will force it.

"Could it be that Miss Xiao San said something?"

Xu Huaili didn't answer. He only looked up at his mother. After a long time, he opened his lips slightly and said, "Mom, don't say anything about the Xiao family again."

"What?" Liu Ruomei was confused.

"Everything I said in the past will be treated as a joke and forgotten."

After Xu Huaili finished speaking, he lay down, closed his eyes and said nothing.

The light from outside the window hit Xu Huaili's face, and his pale expression lost the heroic look of the battlefield in the past, leaving only a haggard look on his face. Liu Ruomei sighed, feeling sad in her heart, "Then you have a good rest, your grandfather has already asked for leave for you."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Just as he was about to leave his yard, he happened to run into Li Yunran.

There was a rare hint of displeasure on Liu Ruomei's calm face. Her upbringing prevented her from saying anything unpleasant.

But he really didn't want to see a girl who was so entangled with his son dangling in front of him.

What's more, for Liu Ruomei, this Li Yunran is not suitable for her son.

Li Yunran's face froze when he saw Liu Ruomei, but he quickly put on a smile and said, "Auntie is fine."

Li Yunran's grandmother and the old lady of the Xu Mansion were cousins, so it was okay for her to call Liu Ruomei her aunt.

Liu Ruomei responded lightly, "Why are you here?"

She thought she had made it clear that she did not want Li Yunran to become her daughter-in-law.

Li Yunran's expression darkened. Her aunt didn't like her. She also understood that she had a low status and was an orphan. How could she be worthy of the son of Xu Guogong's family.

"I...I made chicken soup for my cousin and wanted to send him some."

Liu Ruomei glanced at the food box carried by the maid behind her and refused coldly, "No need for the soup. Huai Li has gone to bed. You can keep this soup for yourself."

If her son wants to drink soup, there are hundreds of cups available, so why does she need to deliver it? !

Li Yunran bit his lip, his eyes turned red and he felt a little aggrieved.

"Don't make such gestures in front of me. If you want to cry, go back and cry. Don't delay his rest." Liu Ruomei had no expression on her face. She left behind a sentence and wiped her body away.

Behind me, Xing'er was a bit at a loss as she held the soup, "Miss... this soup..."

What should I do with this soup?

Li Yunran was told that he was shameless, but he still wanted to insist on giving the soup to the servant in the yard, and asked him to take it in when the others woke up.

It's a pity that the servant refused without even looking at it.

Li Yunran said with a stiff smile, "Thank you."

Then he hurriedly took the maid away.

When she returned to her yard, Xing'er took the cup of soup and hesitated, "Miss, why don't you drink this soup by yourself."

What you have to do alone in the big kitchen costs money. They are not rich to begin with, so they agreed after making this chicken soup and giving the cook a lot of money.

Li Yunran sat on a stool, wiping his tears with a handkerchief. He was depressed at first, but when he heard Xing'er's words, his tense string broke with a bang.

He stood up quickly, grabbed the soup from Xing'er's hand, and slammed it on the ground!

The jar shattered into splinters.

Myolie was startled, and the soup splashed everywhere. Although it was no longer very hot, it was human instinct to dodge subconsciously.

Li Yunran's clothes were also stained with a lot of soup, and the oil and water were mixed on them, making him very embarrassed.

"Miss..." Xing'er looked at her face, a little afraid to speak.

Li Yunran's eyes were red, he bit his lip and looked at the mess on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

"Why do you do this to me?"

Choking and muttering, he cried out his grievances.

Myolie felt sorry for the young lady, but there was nothing she could do about it. In fact, life in Duke Xu's Mansion was much better than in the Li family.

After all, the young lady's parents died, and her uncles had no choice but to divide the family property. They had indeed lived a hard life for a period of time.

I can’t even get enough to eat, let alone chicken soup.

Xing'er actually felt a little bit weird about the lady's wasteful move today.
