Xu Qingmo and Yan Junuo returned to the house front and back.
Mrs. Xu happened to be at the residence. Knowing that they were coming back, she deliberately walked to the gate to greet them. When she saw Yan Junuo getting off the prince's carriage, her face was full of disgust.
But in the end, he still smiled and stepped forward to talk to the prince.
When Xu Qingmo came back, Mrs. Xu was still talking to the prince. She turned over and dismounted, looked at Yan Junuo who was standing there with a shy face, smiled softly, then walked to Mrs. Xu and called softly: "Mother, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
When Xie Suxian saw Xu Qingmo, her eyebrows lit up and she quickly stretched out her hand to help him: "No courtesy!"
Xu Qingmo took a step back and quietly avoided Xie Suxian's hand.
Madam Xu, who was standing aside, naturally saw Xu Qingmo's actions and smiled slightly, with great satisfaction in her eyes.
But Yan Junuo, who was standing in the backlight, couldn't see clearly. He only felt that the prince had helped Xu Qingmo up in person, and he immediately became jealous: "Sister, why are you dressed like this?"
Xu Qingmo was calm: "My father and brother are not at home. It will be more convenient to go out like this!"
Mrs. Xu glanced at Yan Junuo indifferently and said helpfully: "Mo Mo often wore his eldest brother's clothes secretly when he was young. It is indeed more convenient to go out and play like this!"
Yan Junuo was at a loss for words. Mrs. Xu had already spoken, so naturally it was difficult to say anything else!
Xie Suxian's eyes have been falling on Xu Qingmo since he got off the horse: "You can also tell me in the future that I will accompany you! I am older than you, and we used to play together with your elder brother. It’s not an exaggeration to call me brother!”
Xu Qingmo glanced at Yan Junuo and saw the maid behind her carrying large and small bags, and frowned slightly: "His Royal Highness has bought so many things for my sister?"
As soon as he mentioned something, Yan Junuo's expression, which was originally a little annoyed because Xie Suxian kept talking to Xu Qingmo, immediately turned into a little arrogant.
"They are all small gadgets. If Miss Xu likes them, I can also buy some for Miss Xu!" Xie Suxian said with a smile.
Xu Qingmo did not show the expected displeasure or expectation. Instead, his face was full of disdain: "There is really no need for His Highness the Crown Prince to buy these things for me. My mother will try her best to bring them to me anything fashionable in the capital." , perhaps, it will be known earlier than His Highness the Crown Prince knows!"
Xie Suxian was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Madam Xu is a woman after all, so she naturally needs to know more about the things that her daughter likes, so she nodded: "This is natural!"
"It's just that no merit will be rewarded. It would be better for His Highness the Crown Prince to make a list of the things he bought for his sister today. We will put the money in advance at our house, and then we will settle the account with him when he comes back!" Xu Qingmo glanced at Yan Zhu No, said lightly.
Yan Junuo's expression changed drastically: "Sister, this..."
"What's wrong?" Xu Qingmo looked back at Yan Junuo, "Our family has never been in the habit of taking other people's things for free!"
As soon as Xu Qingmo said these words, both Yan Junuo and Xie Suxian looked a little ugly.
Xie Suxian went shopping with Yan Junuo. Ultimately, he just wanted to use Yan Junuo to please Ningyuan Houfu and Xu Qingmo. But now, Xu Qingmo has made such a clear distinction between Ningyuan Houfu and Yan Junuo, which shows that he All your efforts on Yan Junuo are in vain!
And Yan Junuo was even more panicked. Not to mention that the things she bought today were all paid for by His Royal Highness. If she really took the bill back to Yan's house, she would probably be severely punished by her aunt, but However, Xu Qingmo said she wanted to give it to her father!
You know, her father hates his daughter's family taking the initiative to attach themselves to men. If he knew that he was pestering the Crown Prince and going out with her alone, he would probably beat him half to death!
Yan Junuo's face turned from red to white, and finally her lips turned a little blue. It was obvious that she was really scared.
"Today, thank you for your hard work, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, for spending so long shopping with my sister!" Seeing that Yan Junuo was scared, Xu Qingmo stepped forward and thanked her.
Xie Suxian glanced at Yan Junuo, and saw that her face was extremely ugly, and felt a little compassion: "These are just gadgets from my daughter's house, just treat me as if I'm inviting General Yan to have a drink, it's okay." !”
Xie Suxian knew that Xu Qingmo was distancing himself from Yan Junuo. At the moment, he didn't want to offend the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, so he would naturally follow her words.
Now, it was Mrs. Xu's turn to refuse, insisting on making the list and returning the money to the prince.
But in the end, Xie Suxian still didn't want it.
When Madam Xu saw this, she didn't force her. After thinking about it, she decided to forget it. She just planned to make a list of the bills. When the time comes, she would take the money to the palace to see the Queen and hand it over to the Queen. Yes!
After Xie Suxian left, Mrs. Xu just stood there, looking at Yan Junuo who looked ugly, and said coldly: "I will tell your aunt about everything today!"
Yan Junuo's body trembled slightly.
Xu Qingmo looked at her coldly, then raised his head to look at the plaque behind him: "Put your head up and take a closer look. This is Ningyuanhou's mansion. It's already very difficult for you to live here. If you use our Ningyuanhou again, Don’t blame us for being rude if you do these things because you have connections with the government!”
Xu Qingmo's words were very threatening.
Yan Junuo looked at Mrs. Xu with innocent eyes: "Aunt..."
Mrs. Xu glanced at Yan Junuo, and then said helplessly: "This is Ningyuan Houfu. If you do this again, I will send you back!"
Mrs. Xu and Xu Qingmo ignored her and returned to the mansion. Yan Junuo stood at the door of the mansion, her eyes were red, but she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying.
"Girl!" Lan Xin stepped forward with some distress, "Let's go in first!"
Yan Junuo was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath: "Let's go in!"
Just when Yan Junuo was about to enter the house, the door to the courtyard next door opened, and Xu Qingling walked out, talking anxiously to a boy who had just returned.
Because of the distance, Yan Junuo couldn't hear what she said. However, Lan Xin, who was standing beside her, saw Yan Juno staring at Xu Qingling and said softly: "This is Mr. Xu's only daughter. Her mother was arrested because of something." Mrs. Xu is being imprisoned!"
Yan Junuo paused: "Do you know what the reason is?"
Lan Xin shook her head: "The people in this house have their mouths sealed with needles and threads, and they won't say anything no matter what they ask!"''
Yan Junuo was silent for a while, and then took the lead into the mansion. The moment she entered, her and Xu Qingling's eyes collided for a moment!
