What?
Jun Hongbai's deep and sullen face showed visible surprise.
He turned to Du Mianmian with lightning eyes, saw her aggrieved and innocent face, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
After a moment, his angry face slowly disappeared, as if it had been washed away by water.
Then the corners of her lips raised slightly, "Your aunt is caring to you, but you can't be so ignorant."
His tone was gentle, and there was a faint smile on his face as he nodded towards Du Mianmian.
Du Mianmian thought she had heard the wrong words, and the grievance on her face seemed to be frozen by something, her face froze in disbelief.
"Uncle...Uncle."
Jun Hongbai gave her a reassuring smile and turned to look at Liu Yueniang, "No matter how Mianmian does something wrong, she is still my sister-in-law and the closest aunt to Qian'er and Yuan'er.
You just love to talk nonsense. I didn't punish Wen Niang out of concern for her, but I allowed you to ridicule and discredit her in front of Qian'er! "
Liu Yueniang was stunned for a moment.
But it was only for a moment.
When it comes to taking control of the situation in this house, she should be the first one.
As soon as she saw the situation clearly that day, she did not hesitate to give in to Shen Qingluan, and then acted as a good dog beside Shen Qingluan on various occasions.
Now that Jun Hongbai defended Du Mianmian and scolded her in public, she didn't feel as shameless as Du Mianmian did.
Instead, he immediately knelt down and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
Jun Hongbai lowered his head and stared at the top of her head without speaking.
Liu Yueniang's heart beat like a drum for a moment.
Jun Hongbai's attitude was secondary. What was important was why he suddenly changed.
It was obvious that he had convinced her just now.
What news did Changdong bring when he came in?
Du Mianmian was also secretly speculating like her, but she was in a happy mood.
She looked at Jun Hongbai's profile and cautiously tried:
"Uncle, these jewelry are all genuine. Although I can't tell the difference between ginseng and ginseng, how can I not understand jewelry as a woman?"
As expected, Jun Hongbai did not rebuke her anymore, but turned his head with gentle eyes, "Of course I know your kindness towards Qian'er.
Shen Qingluan said that you don’t understand ginseng, but there is a hierarchy of knowledge, there are professions of expertise, and it’s natural that people don’t understand. How could I look down on you because of this. "
Du Mianmian's eyes became moist.
Never before had a man spoken for her in such a gentle and considerate tone, so completely protective and put himself in her shoes.
Not to mention, this man was so handsome, so high-ranking, and even had physical contact with her.
A wet tremor grew in Du Mianmian's heart, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Jun Hongbai's arms.
"Okay, how old are you to be so coquettish?" Jun Hongbai patted her head.
"You have been in the house for many days, but you have not returned to your parents' house to clean up. I will accompany you back to Du's house tomorrow to save your parents from worrying too much."
"really?"
Du Mianmian was overjoyed!
Liu Yueniang, who was kneeling on the ground, felt anxious and frightened in her heart.
It's okay that Jun Hongbai's attitude suddenly changed drastically, but it happened so completely.
Before, I only regarded the Du family as a bunch of shit that I couldn't get rid of, but now I have to take the initiative to get involved.
In the end what happened?
Madam, madam, she must know!
Finally, she knelt down until Jun Hongbai drove her out, but Du Mianmian picked her up and gave her a fit.
Liu Yueniang endured everything and walked out of the courtyard. The wind immediately blew under her feet and she headed straight to Hanguang Courtyard.
"lady!"
Even though she was extremely panicked, Liu Yueniang still politely greeted Shen Qingluan.
After Shen Qingluan spared her the gift, she sat down tremblingly and said with a smile:
"I just came out of Aunt Du's courtyard. My uncle is also in Aunt Du's courtyard. He is very considerate and loving to her."
Hearing this, Shen Qingluan raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating for her to continue speaking.
Du Mianmian looks similar to Du Wenniang. Even though Jun Hongbai can see her true face of superficiality and stupidity, he can never escape the temptation of her superficial appearance.
The neglect of her was temporary, but it was conceivable that he doted on her and even overpowered Liu Yueniang.
If it was just for this matter, Liu Yueniang wouldn't have to come to her to talk about it.
She listened attentively, and Liu Yueniang looked worried as expected and continued: "Today I mentioned Aunt Du's deception with fake ginseng, and I already had a grudge against her.
But when Changdong came in and said something, the uncle immediately changed his attitude. Not only did he scold me for causing trouble, but he also said that he would accompany Aunt Du back to the Du family. "
Shen Qingluan's eyebrows slowly moved toward the middle.
This is strange.
In her previous life, Du Mianmian entered the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. Jun Hongbai loved her from the beginning to the end and could not change his attitude. It was also difficult for Shen Qingluan to get any clues from his past life experience.
Although he didn't know the truth, based on Shen Qingluan's understanding of Jun Hongbai, there were only two reasons for his change of attitude.
One is driven by profit, and the other is conscience discovery, feeling that the Du family has been left out.
Of course, no matter what the reason is, nothing will change for Shen Qingluan.
With Du Mianmian's temperament and being favored by Jun Hongbai, he will definitely become arrogant again just like in his previous life.
Shen Qingluan unconsciously tapped the coffee table with her fingers, making a rhythmic clicking sound.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Maybe it took a long time, maybe it took a moment, Shen Qingluan changed his posture, and the soft sound of clothes being rubbed was heard in the room.
Only then did Liu Yueniang realize that she had been holding her breath all the time!
"Madam, if nothing happens, I will go back first."
Liu Yueniang covered herself up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Shen Qingluan came back to his senses, looked at her and suddenly smiled, "Of course I have nothing to do. No matter how favored a concubine is in this house, what can it do to me?"
Liu Yueniang's raised butt paused awkwardly, and then moved back as if nothing had happened.
"What Madam said..." Liu Yueniang smiled awkwardly.
Naturally, the reason she came to Hanguangyuan was because Du Mianmian threatened her and she was powerless.
I thought that as soon as Shen Qingluan heard the news, he would immediately use Shen's hand to attack Du Mianmian.
I didn't expect that she would act so unreasonably...
"Madam is broad-minded and sees us as sisters, so naturally she won't mind. It's just..."
Liu Yueniang racked her brains to think of a reason: "Aunt Du may not have the mind of a madam.
Madam had always criticized her every move before, but Aunt Du didn't appreciate it. She must have held a grudge, and she didn't know when she would wait for an opportunity to retaliate. "
Shen Qingluan looked at her steadily, which made Liu Yueniang's already unsure heart become even more flustered.
Just when Liu Yueniang couldn't help but almost ran away, Shen Qingluan said expressionlessly:
"Aunt Yue, you almost starved to death at your mother's house that day, but I rescued you from the abyss. Then at Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, I also made many plans for you.
In your mind, am I the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea, who spends his days saving sentient beings? "
Liu Yueniang's face showed full embarrassment.
These days, Shen Qingluan was merciless to Du Mianmian, but he was kind to her.
She also mistakenly thought that Shen Qingluan was the one who could be manipulated.
Shen Qingluan, who was deeply misunderstood, smiled with some unknown meaning:
"Even if you are a Bodhisattva who saves all sentient beings, you have to burn incense to do it. You can't just make a wish out of thin air and I will take care of everything for you.
It’s time for Aunt Yue to learn how to survive on her own. No matter what happens, let me see what you are capable of. "
Liu Yueniang bit her lip hard, "What does Madam want me to do?"
Shen Qingluan raised his eyebrows slightly, "You know in your heart that your most powerful support in this house is Brother Yuan's trust and love for you. You should protect Brother Yuan, right?"
Her gentle words stirred up a storm in Liu Yueniang's heart.
The profound meaning in Shen Qingluan's words made her dare not think about it carefully.
Protect Brother Yuan?
Why is this said...
Then think of what the two were talking about Du Mianmian just now.
Is Madam hinting that Du Mianmian will attack Brother Yuan?
Or is she planning to attack Brother Yuan herself and then frame the blame on Du Mianmian?
That must be the case. If it wasn't her own plan, how could she know about it in advance.
Shen Qingluan is actually such a ruthless person, capable of attacking even an innocent child.
At this moment, Liu Yueniang's luck of being able to take advantage of Shen Qingluan was completely gone. Instead, it turned into cold sweat, soaking her inner clothes.
Taking a step back and thinking, if she can attack Uncle Yuan's most beloved brother today, wouldn't it be easy and silent to attack her in the future?
Shen Qingluan didn't know that her half-covered words scared Liu Yueniang out of her soul.
However, if she really knew, she would probably not explain it, but would give it a half-assed answer and live up to Liu Yueniang's fantasy.
Liu Yueniang left Hanguangyuan in a daze, and sat in her room until midnight before she woke up from a shock.
"Xingfang, Xingfang!"
"Auntie, my servant is here."
Liu Yueniang looked nervous: "Quickly find the handkerchief I embroidered the day before yesterday. I will finish it tonight!"
Xingfang found the handkerchief and said, "Why are you so anxious to get it all of a sudden? It will be too late in a few days."
"We can't delay it!" Liu Yueniang snatched the embroidery frame away, "Tomorrow, tomorrow I'm going to see Brother Yuan."
Late at night, Cuicui rushed back from outside the hospital, "Madam, we've found out!
This matter is now widely known in the streets. The Du family has produced a batch of pure white porcelain that is rare to find in the world. Many people are attracted to buy it. Even the neighboring Chen Kingdom sent envoys to buy it. Your Majesty is happy and appoints the Du family as the royal merchants! "
Cuicui's chest felt tight with excitement, but Shen Qingluan was extremely calm and even turned a page of the book in his hand.
"I see, I thought the Du family had made such a big difference."
Cuicui pushed away Zhuzhu who was fanning herself, "Isn't this big enough? Huangshang!"
Cuicui raised her hands high and said in an exaggerated tone: "Just an ordinary merchant, Du Mianmian's eyes have already grown to the top of his head.
Not to mention that now that she is an imperial merchant, and her uncle is also protecting her, she will still have her tail raised to the sky in the future! "
Shen Qingluan had a careless smile on his lips, "The imperial merchant is just a businessman."
She actually forgot about this experience. Thinking about it now, she felt quite ridiculous.
Everyone thought that this matter was about overwhelming wealth, but Shen Qingluan knew that this matter was a calamity, not a blessing!
Just when Shen Qingluan was about to elaborate with everyone, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the house, "Madam, the Shen family has sent a letter!"
Shen Qingluan's face was condensed, but he didn't see the ease and ease just now, and he quickly walked to the door.
