Chen Anning nodded: "I'm a little tired."
Mrs. Hua did not expect her to answer like this. After being stunned for a moment, she said: "Since I am tired, I will see the old lady later and go to rest early."
"I've been shopping around with Lu Wenjun and the others all day," Hua Rong sneered, "Of course I'm tired."
Chen Anning agreed, "Yeah, my feet hurt after walking around all day."
Hua Rong snorted coldly.
Mrs. Hua glanced at her and said with a smile: "If you like shopping, let's continue shopping tomorrow. The prosperity of Jincheng County is not inferior to that of Jincheng County."
"What's there to do?" Hua Rong snorted, "We are not as rich as Lu Wenjun and others."
Mrs. Hua laughed and cursed: "How can you talk, kid? How much can you spend on shopping?"
Chen Anning said: "It still costs a lot. Miss Lu and the others spent more than 6,000 taels today."
Hua Rong exclaimed: "How much!"
Mrs. Hua and Hua Jin also looked at Chen Anning in surprise.
Chen Anning suppressed a smile and said in a calm tone: "That's more than six thousand taels."
Mrs. Hua calmly let go of her hand, and then looked at Xie Xun.
Hua Jin also looked at Xie Xun.
Only Hua Rong stared angrily: "More than six thousand taels! What did you buy!"
Xie Xun looked calm.
Chen Anning was also calm and calm, "The things you bought are all loaded on the carriages at the back. Remember to ask them to be lighter so that they don't get damaged by me."
Hua Rong quickly turned around and looked at the scene where the mother-in-law and the maids were surrounding the carriages carrying things. She was jealous and said: "You bought so much, all with the money given by Lu Wenjun and the others?"
Chen Anning glanced at her and said matter-of-factly: "I don't have any money."
Hua Rong blurted out: "You still buy so much when you have no money!"
Chen Anning once again said matter-of-factly: "Because I like it."
Hua Rong snorted: "How shameless!"
Chen Anning sneered and said disdainfully: "If you don't want to spend money on me, just say so. There's no need to be so secretive!"
Listening to the back-and-forth quarrel between the two, Mrs. Hua looked at Hua Jin and asked silently: Was she like this when she was in the prefect's mansion?
Hua Jin nodded lightly.
Mrs. Hua looked at Xie Xun again.
Seeing him looking at Chen Anning calmly, with an imperceptible smile in the corners of his eyes and brows, he couldn't help but frown slightly, then followed his gaze and looked at Chen Anning.
Chen Anning's appearance can only be regarded as above average, which is far from Hua Jin's stunning appearance.
But when she was quarreling with Hua Rong, her carefree and calm appearance, with lively expressions on her face, was particularly glamorous and attractive.
This brilliance, even if compared with the national beauty and heavenly fragrance of Hua Jin, pales in comparison.
Looking at her stature, which is half a head taller than Hua Jin, and her confident and free manner when walking, she is even better.
Putting aside the childishness in her words, it seems that Xie Xun favors her.
Mrs. Hua turned her eyes to Hua Jin, looking at her disappointed and unwilling look, she sighed silently, and then shook her head.
She didn't lose unjustly.
Arrive at Mrs. Hua’s Manfu Courtyard.
After Mrs. Hua stopped the argument between Hua Rong and Chen Anning, she held her mother-in-law's hand and walked into the house first. She smiled at Mrs. Hua, who had been waiting for a long time, and said, "Xun'er and Miss Chen Er are here."
The silver-haired Mrs. Hua immediately put down her tea bowl and urged: "Then let them in quickly."
"Grandma!" Hua Rong scrambled to be the first to enter the house, "We are back!"
Mrs. Hua looked directly past her and towards Xie Xun who came in later.
Xie Xun suppressed the cold expression on his face, saluted and said, "Grandma."
"This kid is always so polite every time he comes." Mrs. Hua said with a smile and stretched out her hand toward him, "Come here and take a look. Why have you grown taller after not seeing him for half a year?"
After Xie Xun glanced at Chen Anning from the corner of his eye, he walked to her side obediently and put his hand in hers.
"I have grown taller, but I have also lost weight." Mrs. Hua held his hand and looked at it while saying, "Are they all tired from investigating the case? You said your father, you haven't even reached the age of 18, and you are still a normal person?" When you were growing up, he was so cruel that he threw you to Dali Temple. He felt relaxed, but seeing that you were tired..."
"Old Madam..." Madam Hua glanced at Chen Anning and reminded softly.
Mrs. Hua suppressed the warmth on her face and looked at Chen Anning in the direction pointed by her chin.
Chen Anning bowed calmly, "I've met Madam Hua."
Mrs. Hua said coldly: "No need to be polite."
Chen Anning put her hand away without being annoyed or angry.
Mrs. Hua looked at her coldly and looked her up and down critically. After looking at her for a while, she asked: "I heard from the people below that you are a disciple of the genius doctors Liu Xiuzhu and Yin Xiruo?"
Chen Anning should be.
Mrs. Hua said: "Who can prove that you are their disciple?"
Chen Anning raised his eyes to look at her, seeing the undisguised contempt in her eyes, he smiled and said, "Why should I prove it?"
Mrs. Hua said coldly: "If you don't prove it, who knows whether what you said is true or false?"
Chen Anning's smile continued, "Why should I let others know whether it is true or false?"
"It's fine if it's true. If it's false..." Mrs. Hua said coldly, "That's deceiving the emperor!"
Chen Anning smiled.
She saw it.
The old lady was also very dissatisfied with the emperor's marriage to Xie Xun.
but……
So what if you are dissatisfied?
Chen Anning looked directly into Mrs. Hua's eyes and said provocatively: "Then Mrs. Hua, please report it to the officials. I think, with Mrs. Hua's status, the government should be happy to verify whether I am true or false."
Mrs. Hua's face suddenly darkened.
But before her anger erupted, Xie Xun spoke, "If grandma wants to report to the government, I'm afraid she will have to sue me first. I went to ask the emperor for the marriage to Miss Chen Er."
"You lied!" Hua Rong blurted out.
Even Mrs. Hua was not happy and said: "Even if Xun'er wants to defend her, there is no need to take all the responsibility on herself!"
"Grandma is worrying too much," Xie Xun walked to Chen Anning and held her hand forcefully. "The rumors in the streets and alleys of the capital were all spread by me. The purpose was to force Miss Chen Er to agree to my marriage proposal. . It’s a pity that she won’t take the hard way. I have no choice but to ask the emperor to grant me a marriage to her.”
Having said this, Xie Xun tilted his head and looked at Chen Anning, "After the marriage decree came down, she was so angry that she almost poisoned me. So, no matter how dissatisfied my grandmother is with her, for the sake of your grandson's face, please treat me She’s more polite.”
"She also poisoned you?" Mrs. Hua's face turned even more ugly.
"That's right." Xie Xun raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a rather contented look, "Didn't my grandmother question whether she was a disciple of Liu Xiuzhu and Yin Xiruo? Let her show you her hand and try poison. I guarantee that you won't Will question it."
"You asked her to poison me?" Mrs. Hua's expression could no longer be described as ugly.
"Grandma, don't worry," Xie Xun said complacently, "She's very measured in her actions and won't let you die."
Mrs. Hua said angrily: "That's all, I won't question her! In order to protect her, she even gave up basic filial piety. I have never seen such a worthless person like you!"
Xie Xun winked at Chen Anning, clasped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, grandma. It's getting late, so grandma should rest early. I'll take her to rest too."
Hua Jin looked at him, looked at him, looked at him...
What did she hear?
He said that he went to the emperor to ask for the marriage between him and Chen Anning?
Does he like her that much?
What about her?
What does her like count for?
"Forget about filial piety and rules?" After Mrs. Hua glanced at her, she said coldly, "You don't want fame, Miss Chen Er still wants it. Ronger, why don't you take Miss Chen Er down quickly?" Rest."
After Hua Rong said yes, she glanced at Chen Anning slyly and said, "Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely let Miss Chen Er have a good rest!"
"Miss Chen Er, let's go."
