The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 34
Seeing that Li Chaochao was dismissive of her, Xiuniang roared angrily: "Little hoof, don't you talk, see if I don't peel off your skin today!"

Li Chaochao stood there indifferently, Dongyue didn't need her to order, and suddenly took two steps. Just when Xiuniang thought she was going to vent her anger for the master, she was ready to fight, but Dongyue walked up to a tree. In front of the weeping willow that had just sprouted, he rounded his arms and uprooted the weeping willow that was as thick as a thigh, and then threw it at Xiuniang's feet, which shocked Xiuniang dumbfounded.

Dongyue pursed her lips and said, "Miss San, I, Dongyue, have changed from a fire-burning girl to a second-class maid because of the favor given to me by Fifth Girl. I definitely won't let anyone touch her finger! So Miss San, if you want to embarrass Miss Fifth, please step over my dead body first."

Xiuniang took a big step back under Dongyue's ruthless aura, and then Li Chaochao stepped forward as if nothing had happened, "Do you have any advice, Third Sister?"

"No, no." Xiu Niang shook her head like a drum.

"Then let's go first." Li Chaochao took two steps, then turned his head and said, "Third Sister, don't cut people's way casually next time, remember that good dogs don't get in the way."

Xiu Niang was so angry that her face was flushed, but she dared not speak out. In Dongyue's two times, she could be thrown out of the yard with any hand.

However, Xiuniang has never been a person who admits defeat. For her lifelong event, she will definitely do her best to fight for it. If she can't do it clearly, then come secretly!

Back at the Shuangzhu Pavilion, Li Chaochao said nothing, just ate lunch and meditated on the soft mat as usual. Mama He wanted to ask a lot, but seeing her so indifferent, she had to secretly He took Dongyue outside to talk.

At the end of the day, Li Chaochao woke up on time, Xiangchen squatted in front of the glazed washbasin, after washing her hands in the freshly soaked peach blossom bath bean water, she took the silk handkerchief from Xia He's hand, squinted and wanted to speak Only then did Mother He speak lazily.

Because she just woke up, her voice was soft and hoarse, "Mom, just say something."

Mother He gave Xia He and Qiu Shuang a look, and after the two saluted and left obediently, she asked, "Girl, do you really want to marry someone else as a concubine?"

At that time, Dongyue was outside the Yonghe Hall, and she could hear the conversation inside clearly. Naturally, she heard Li Chaochao's words of "marrying someone else as a concubine". As for the steward, since she was asked, she had no choice but to explain everything in detail.

"Although I have wronged the girl by marrying into the Lan family as his successor, but if I become a concubine, my life will be ruined..." Mother He knelt on the ground, "This old slave knows that he is soft-spoken, but I still ask the girl to think twice." .”

Li Chaozhao was really anxious when he saw Mother He, and the smile in his eyes deepened, "I'm just talking casually, how could even Mom believe it."

She helped Mama He up herself, "Don't always kneel down on me and hurt your knee carefully. It was just a stopgap measure at that time, let Da Furen believe it."

Li Chaochao took Mother He's hand and stood up and sat on the chair, "Actually, marrying someone else as a concubine is sometimes better than marrying someone who is not. After the mansion, the husband is a philanderer and doesn't love others. He has given up on the mistress for nothing." What about his reputation, in the end, he is not even as good as a concubine."

Mother He felt ashamed when she thought about the matter of the eldest son-in-law and Chunxi that day, but she never thought that the eldest son of the Lan family was such a nasty person, "But..."

Li Chaochao was still a little hesitant when he saw her, so he simply made it clear, "I know that my mother is doing it for my own good, but I have made up my mind. Even if I marry a poor family wife, I will definitely not have anything to do with the Lan family."

Just when Mother He was about to say something, Li Chaochao interrupted her firmly again, "Doesn't Mother believe me? With my current means, what if I marry a farmer?"

Mother He sighed, and raised her hand to stroke Li Chaochao's soft hair, "How can this old slave not believe in the girl, he just thinks that the girl's appearance and character should marry better, so as to be consummated."

"Things are unpredictable. No matter how good things are seen at this time, they may be nothing in a few years. It is the so-called 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi." Li Chaochao hooked the corners of his mouth strangely, "Mom, don't worry about this , I have reached the age to talk about marriage, even if Xiuniang is not engaged, I promise you, no matter where I go, I will take you with me, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Mother He blushed, and then she remembered that the girl was only 13 years old after the summer this year. It is indeed too early to talk about it now. It's not that she forgot about it, but that the girl's words and deeds have been as big as before. What the girl did, when discussing these things, she was neither coy nor shy, and she didn't feel any sense of disobedience at all.

Now hearing Li Chaochao teasing herself again, Mother He couldn't laugh or cry, but she still couldn't dispel the worry in her heart, "I heard Dongyue also said that Da Furen deliberately asked Xiu Niang to compete with you?"

"Cao's using Xiuniang to blackmail me, and using me to take advantage of Xiuniang, are just her usual methods."

Mother He snorted, "Will Xiuniang target the girl again like last time? I found that Xiuniang's scheming is not ordinary, and she must not be allowed to achieve her wish."

Li Chaochao shook his head with a smile, "What mother said is different, it is a person like her who should marry into the Lan family and harm others. Even if she doesn't come to trick others, I will help her."

When Mother He heard it, she also laughed out loud, but she still didn't forget to tell Li Chaochao to be more careful about Xiuniang's tricks.

The two talked for a while, Li Chaochao called Qiushuang from outside and asked, "How much money is in the account?"

The four maids in the Shuangzhu Pavilion have a clear division of labor, Xia He is in charge of serving Li Chaochao, Qiushuang is mainly in charge of accounts, Dongyue is in charge of protection, and Xiangchen is in charge of running errands.

Qiushuang's account book was placed in the inner room of the Shuangzhu Hall, and on weekdays she did the accounting in front of Li Chaochao. Although Li Chaochao had never asked in detail, she did not dare to make any mistakes.

"As of today, there are a total of 480 taels on the account, but Su Ji still has an account that has not been recovered."

Seeing Qiushuang's unambiguous answer, Li Chaozhao nodded in satisfaction, knowing that she was doing her best, "Go and spend all the money in the account, and buy back all the incense that I consigned to Suji."

Qiu Shuang was puzzled for a moment, but she didn't dare to ask further questions. She glanced sideways at Mother He, then nodded and said, "Yes, what other orders do you have, Miss?"

"I will personally write a letter to Boss Su and tell him what happened. You can go."

Mother He waited for Qiushuang to go out before asking: "Young lady, is this to guard against the eldest lady?"

"It's not entirely true. She wants to test whether I have anything to do with the rumored Xiangfen Empress today." Li Chaochao raised the corners of his lips, "She also plans to make me a craftsman."
