Liu Fanyin noticed the temptation in his tone and lowered her eyes. She was no longer as timid as before, "Yes."
The atmosphere cooled down for a moment, both sides froze, and no one spoke again.
After a long while, Xie Changqing coughed lightly, "I heard from Qing'er that you despised her brother?"
"It turns out that I listened to what others said." Liu Fanyin's eyebrows moved slightly, she pursed her lips and smiled. She raised her eyes to look at him with a pair of clear and bright black eyes. "Did the Crown Prince come today with the intention of raising an army to punish me?"
Xie Changqing was choked, paused, frowned and said, "Hua Ting is Qing'er's younger brother after all. If you are so arrogant, don't you hurt the harmony in the family?"
"Friendly?" Liu Fanyin raised the corners of her lips slightly and said with a smile, "When it comes to this person, I would like to ask the prince, why is it that the old man I am used to is not here when it is obviously my dowry shop, but these irrelevant ones are here? Are people moving in it?”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Xie Changqing's face, and it disappeared in an instant, "Of course I arranged it."
"I'll take care of the shop for you and let a few handy people in, what's the harm?"
Xie Changqing's self-righteous look made Liu Fanyin secretly laugh. He lowered his eyes and looked at the freshly picked lotus in the bottle, brushed the petals with his fingertips, and completely ignored Xie Changqing.
Xie Changqing frowned so hard that he could kill a fly. He had never suffered the loss of being mute in front of Mrs. Liu. He immediately said angrily, "Ms. Liu, when I talk to you, you either question or get distracted. Have you let me, your husband, go?" In the eyes!”
Liu Fanyin looked calm, and moved his gaze away from the lotus flower as if nothing had happened, and moved it to Xie Changqing's handsome face.
Her mother had told her yesterday that it was better to go crazy and torture others than to mentally consume yourself.
Today, she gave it a try.
Xie Changqing had never seen Liu Fanyin like this, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
It's only been two days...how dare Mrs. Liu be so presumptuous?
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Xie Changqing asked with a frown, his eyes a little dodgey.
"Your Majesty, why don't you tell me what's important today." Liu Fanyin's red lips parted slightly, with no expression on his face, "It's getting late, and it's time for Your Majesty to go back to the Pine Garden after what he said."
Xie Changqing slapped his big palm on the table and made a heavy sound, "Mr. Liu!"
The sudden movement startled Nanny Zhang, and when she saw that the Crown Prince looked calm, she hurriedly got closer to the Crown Princess.
Liu Fanyin didn't respond, but still stared at him, her eyes calm, as if looking at a stranger.
Xie Changqing gritted his teeth and whispered, "I don't care about anything else. I'll let you play around with me. The only thing is that Hua Ting must work in that shop!"
Did this give her a death order?
"I hope the prince will forgive me for being incompetent and unable to allow this." Liu Fanyin stood up slowly, with a curve on his lips. He was clearly smiling, but he couldn't feel the warmth at all. "Mipu has a lot of affairs, and I can't give him a free post." , cannot support idle people.”
"Liu Fanyin!"
Liu Fanyin's eyes widened slightly. This was the first time Xie Changqing called her by her full name.
Quite unaccustomed to it.
Xie Changqing was not good at hiding his emotions, and now his face turned red with anger, "You are an unworthy wife. Believe it or not, my son will divorce you!"
"Die me up?" Liu Fanyin raised the corners of her lips and then said, "Have you made up your mind, Your Majesty?"
Xie Changqing paused, pursed his thin lips and stopped talking.
"Others don't know the current situation of the Hou Mansion, but I know it." Liu Fanyin took two steps forward and whispered with pink lips, "Strong on the outside and hard on the inside, unable to make ends meet. If it weren't for the support of my mother and my concubine's dowry, the prince would have died long ago. This huge mansion was completely destroyed.”
"There are only about twenty grain and oil shops in the capital, and eight out of ten are owned by my father." Liu Fanyin raised his eyelids, stared at Xie Changqing in a funny voice, and said softly, "With my family background, even if I leave, After passing away, I can have a good home."
"But where is the prince?" Liu Fanyin smiled brightly and said in a serious tone, "Which girl is willing to come here as a dowry?"
"You!" Xie Changqing raised his hand and pointed at her, his fingertips trembling, "Don't think I can't touch you!"
"If the prince doesn't like me, he will never come to Chengyuan in the future." Liu Fanyin looked away with a calm expression, "You and I are tired of seeing each other, so it's better not to see each other."
Xie Changqing closed his eyes, then snorted coldly and walked away.
The sound of the door slamming was heard next to her ears. Liu Fanyin opened her pink lips and slowly exhaled.
"Prince Concubine..." Nanny Zhang looked worried. She took a few steps forward to support her and whispered, "You are like this, but you have already sunk the boat."
Liu Fanyin slumped down on the wooden chair, and her nails scratched the mahogany wood, making a harsh sound.
After a long silence, Liu Fanyin said, "My father has taught me since I was a child that businessmen are weak and their descendants cannot participate in the imperial examination. People from a family like ours are born with no chance of getting ahead."
"Even though my father is well-known in the capital, others still think that he is just a member of the public and has no big future." Liu Fanyin's eyes were dark and unclear, and his fingertips dug into his flesh. "Father worked hard to send me to this powerful place. Aristocratic family, I can’t leave, let alone leave.”
"Now, I completely understand." Firelight danced on Liu Fanyin's face, and her outline was reflected on the wall with soft lines. "My husband's sincerity is the most insignificant thing. In this world, only status and money will not let me down."
"Miss..." Nanny Zhang burst into tears and murmured, "You are finally awake!"
"I have to thank my mother." Liu Fanyin smiled and patted Nanny Zhang's hand, whispering softly, "If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would still have to live in the love of a little girl."
"I'll go out tomorrow and buy some good materials for my mother to make some clothes."
"yes."
The sky lost its bright color, and Fang Xu returned to his house under the cover of night. Along the way, Bai Ji was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and he was chattering around her.
"Madam, we are so majestic today!" Bai Ji followed Fang Xu, his big eyes smiling like crescent moons, "That's the Palace of the Prince of War!"
"I know, I know." Fang Xu looked at her with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "You have said this for the seventh time."
Bai Ji stuck out his tongue and pretended to be shy and said, "Thanks to Madam, I brought Bai Ji with me so that I can feast my eyes on you! I saw it with my own eyes, and Concubine Sun's face was so angry!"
"Look at how hopeless you are!" Su Zi smiled and glared at her, "Madam, one of you can stand up to two!"
Fang Xu remained silent, but walked towards Chengyuan with a faint smile on his lips.
While walking, the shadow of the pair of dragons and phoenixes above the palace flashed in my mind, and I felt lost for a moment.
The King of War is definitely not an honest person!
"Su Zi." Fang Xu turned his head and said cryptically, "Do I have any assets in my name?"
"Madam, what are you talking about?" Su Zi looked puzzled and said softly, "The shops inspected yesterday were most likely your dowry."
