Chapter 251 News
Xiaodong knew very well in her heart that Li Shi and her were not on the same side, and they definitely could not talk about going together.There may be many reasons for her to come to her door, the least likely is that she wants to have more contacts because she likes herself.

Now that he knew that the other party was definitely not saying what he meant, Xiaodong couldn't be more enthusiastic.

Last time she came, she didn't treat her as an outsider, and let her into Yufang Pavilion directly, but today Xiaodong let her go to Xihua Hall according to the usual way of hospitality.

Xiaodong was not as casual as last time, he changed his clothes before going.

However, Li Shi's expression was not the same as last time. Although the sharpness was concealed last time, his face was still amiable, looking dignified without losing his demeanor.But today it looks different.His face was gloomy, and the hand holding the teacup was so hard that his fingertips turned white.

What's wrong with her?Did you get angry somewhere?Or did the couple quarrel and came to seek justice?

Cough, having said that, even though Xiaodong didn't feel very good about her, but if she really wanted to quarrel with Shen Jing, Xiaodong would definitely try to persuade her to make peace.Shen Jing's success at a young age must have been a bit vigorous.If the petty quarrel becomes serious, it will not only make people laugh at others, but also damage the reputation and relationship between the Shen family and the Li family.As the saying goes, if a husband and wife do not get along with their neighbors, they will also bully them. If you have anything to do, you can discuss it behind closed doors.

"Why is my cousin free to visit me today? The weather is not good recently, cousin should be more careful." Xiaodong told the maid: "Hurry up and bring a glass of iced sherbet."

Mrs. Li put down the teacup and nodded stiffly: "He came to the door suddenly, please don't be offended by the princess."

Xiaodong saw that her expression was very different from usual, and thought that if husband and wife quarreled, Mrs. Li would not be so impatient.

Mrs. Li straightened her back. She was sitting upright, but now she looked like a stake: "I sent some local products from Jinzhou to the Princess."

The servants at the side delivered several big boxes, Xiaodong was slightly surprised: "Your cousin is too polite. Last time I ate your food, I haven't returned the gift yet."

Mrs. Li didn't sit down much, put down the gift and left in a hurry, Xiao Dong asked people to open the box to see, they were all good things, one of the rectangular brocade boxes contained a pair of embroidered landscape paintings, with exquisite craftsmanship and profound artistic conception.Xiaodong and Shen Jing have been together for many years, and at a glance they recognize that the painting is Shen Jing's own handwriting, but the embroiderer doesn't know who it is.

After seeing the gift, Mrs. Hu said with a smile, "I'm afraid this Third Young Mistress Shen is here to make amends."

"apologize?"

"This painting is obviously written by Master Biao. I heard that Third Young Mistress Shen and the officials and family members in Master Biao's department don't get along very well. Many people say she is a country bumpkin, Yelang is arrogant or something. Master Biao is sure. Knowing that Third Young Mistress Shen had offended her relatives and friends, she specially prepared such a gift for Third Young Mistress Shen to come and make amends to the princess. However, this young mistress is really high-spirited, and she would definitely not be able to say a word of apology. Look at the way it was just now, you didn't come to give gifts as a guest, but to suffer, it's like sitting on pins and needles."

"Mom said..." Xiaodong thought about Li's expression just now, and couldn't help laughing: "This cousin... I heard that she came from a noble family, but she doesn't look like a city man."

Mrs. Hu nodded and said: "It is not always true that all the daughters of aristocratic families are the same on the outside. This young lady heard that she was born to her parents when she was old, and she loved her like a treasure. Probably because of this reason, she was spoiled a bit. It’s all here, and it will be fine in a few years.”

Xiaodong pursed her lips on purpose: "Look at what mom said, I'm also my father's favorite, and my temperament is not very gentle - I can't do without my mother's credit."

The room was filled with laughter, and Hu's laughter was almost out of breath, Xiaodong asked someone to help her sit down, and poured tea for her.Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "No matter how disobedient the princess is, there will be no obedient people in the world. Looking at Young Mistress Shen, she might be forced to come today. I guess, from now on It will be a while before she is too embarrassed to go to the gate of the palace again."

Mrs. Hu's words are indeed right. Mrs. Li has not only never been to the gate of Prince An's Mansion since then, it is said that she has never been to any other places.I don't know if she is ashamed to see others, or Shen Jing ordered her to do so.Anyway, when Shen Jing came again, Xiaodong asked him, Shen Jing just smiled and didn't answer, and asked her if she liked the embroidery.

Xiaodong nodded and said, "I like it very much. I let someone make a screen. Would you like to take a look?"

"If you like, I have two more characters, which can also be embroidered. You can make banners or hanging screens if you like."

Xiaodong pursed her lips and smiled: "Okay, since you said that, I'm not being polite. I don't want yours for nothing, I have some pens and ink here, and I don't use them for nothing, so someone will send them to you. and some
There are a lot of new things in the capital, Li's matter was only talked about for a few days, then faded away, and gradually forgotten.During the close of recent years, Mrs. Li came out again to visit relatives and friends, give gifts and invite guests.This time he looked much calmer and smoother than before, and his words and deeds were very modest.People also seem to have forgotten the previous things, no one mentioned it, and everyone was in harmony.

Xiaodong sighed that Shen Jing was really good at disciplining wives, but when Shen Fang came to be a guest, she told the truth: "Where did the third brother do it himself, it was my aunt who sent two capable people to do it. Sister Xiaodong, you I have never suffered from my mother-in-law. Those two mothers have always been very powerful. I'm not a fool, I've seen and heard a lot, and I know that I did not behave properly earlier, not only was I ridiculed by others, but I also brought third brother into trouble."

Xiaodong said: "Eat a ditch to gain wisdom, I hope that from now on, she and her cousin will be harmonious and beautiful, and live a smooth life."

The nurse carried Ah Da out, Shen Fang hadn't seen him for a while, she laughed and teased him for a while.Her son was taken by her mother-in-law in her hometown. She pleaded several times, but failed to bring her son to the capital. Seeing Ah Da now, she was happy for a while, but also felt a little sad.Xiaodong saw it, and signaled the nanny to hug Ada away, so as not to make Shen Fang fall in love again.

Shen Fang collected herself and asked Xiaodong in a low voice while she was free: "I don't know why, a few days ago she suddenly asked about the Fifth Princess."

Xiaodong was stunned for a moment: "What? What did she say?"

Shen Fang didn't say much, just said: "She just asked me what kind of person the fifth princess is. I just told her that I was doing reading with the fourth princess, and I was not familiar with the fifth princess, so she didn't ask again. "

Did Mrs. Li hear something?
The matter between Shen Jing and the Fifth Princess is very secretive. However, when the Fifth Princess was dying, Shen Jing invited Shen Qiang's husband Feng Yuan to see her quietly. Feng Yuan would not tell Shen Qiang about this, and Shen Qiang Sisters Qiang and Shen Fang have such a close relationship, and they can't hide it from Shen Fang.

However, it is impossible for the few people who participated in it to leak this matter to Mrs. Li.

But why did Mrs. Li ask about the fifth princess?

Xiaodong and Shen Fang exchanged glances.

The two of them are well aware of this.Although they never mentioned half a word, they both know each other well, and the other party also understands the inside story, and they are on the same front.
