"These people are too outrageous. How can they talk about the master like this?" Shuhua couldn't help complaining.
After hearing this, Aunt Su raised her hand and touched the hairpin on her head, and smiled nonchalantly.
"This kind of thing was not uncommon in the past. Why are you so restless?"
Aunt Su's face was pale and she would occasionally cough. It could be seen that her body was indeed delicate.
Shuhua poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Now is different from before. Now you are my aunt."
"Ha, aunt, to put it nicely, she is just a concubine, to put it worst, she is just a little better than a maid, how can she be compared with the master, and if such gossip reaches the ears of the madam, there will definitely be no good results."
Aunt Su took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile.
She had been struggling in Yihong Courtyard for so many years, and she was able to keep her virginity and only show off her skills but not her body. How could she not have any means at all.
Shuhua frowned and wanted to say something more, but felt that it was unnecessary. After all, his master had become his aunt.
"By the way, is there any big news in the house recently?" Aunt Su suddenly asked.
After Shuhua thought for a moment, he replied: "I heard that Mr. Li angered the aunt in the mansion, and finally alarmed the old lady."
"Ha, that is a master who is not easy to mess with." After Aunt Su responded, she lowered her eyelids and wondered what she was thinking.
"Master, please rest first."
Shuhua helped Aunt Su lie down, tucked her into the quilt, and then turned around and walked out of the house.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Mrs. Li walking in, "I've seen Aunt Li. The master is not feeling well and has rested. Why don't Auntie come back another day?"
When Mrs. Li heard this, she looked unhappy and said, "I came here specifically to see my sister. Why is it such a coincidence? Or does it mean that my sister doesn't want to see me?"
"Auntie, you are overthinking. My master has really taken a break." Shuhua stood at the door with no intention of getting out of the way.
Li's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling annoyed, but there was a false smile on her face.
"Sister, can I come in and have a few words with you?"
Shuhua was so angry that he had never seen such a shameless person. He was about to stop him when he heard voices coming from inside the room.
"Let her in."
Aunt Su sat up from the bed, looking slightly tired.
Shuhua didn't dare to refute and got out of the way.
Ms. Li walked in proudly and looked directly at Aunt Su, as if she wanted to see through her.
"Is my sister feeling better?"
Aunt Su raised her lips and smiled slightly, "I'm sorry to bother my sister. Although I'm seriously ill now, I've finally passed the most difficult time."
Her words were nothing more than telling Ms. Li that she had recovered and asked Ms. Li not to worry.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Mrs. Li's lips, "My sister's illness came on really suddenly. The doctor didn't tell me why?"
A trace of darkness flashed across Aunt Su's eyes, and her tone was filled with reluctance, "I am not weak for a day or two, doesn't my sister know?"
Mrs. Li paused, looked sideways at her, and snorted coldly, "Yes, my sister's body and bones were not good in the frontier in the past. I didn't expect that she would still be like this when I returned to the capital."
She paused for a moment and continued: "I just didn't expect that even if you are bedridden, you are still thinking about how to curry favor with people, and this problem has not been changed."
"What I gave you was just a small favor. How could Madam appreciate it? But you, my sister, accompany the old lady every day. Why didn't the old lady speak for you when something happened this time?"
After hearing what Su said, Mrs. Li's face turned pale and bloodless. She clenched her fists and tried to suppress the anger in her heart.
She thought that the old lady of the family had the final say, so she deliberately tried to please her. Who would have thought that she would offend the difficult master.
I almost put my money in it.
The two exchanged sarcastic remarks, but no one benefited from it at all.
When Xie Wanyu knew this, it was already the next morning.
When Zhu Fang was washing her, she mentioned this matter by the way.
"Madam, I'm afraid these two aunts are not peaceful masters." Zhu Fang put the comb on the dressing table and said.
"The louder they make the fuss, the better. It's not me who's having a headache."
The Xiao family has been too quiet recently. It should be more lively, otherwise Mrs. Xiao would not be too peaceful.
Zhu Fang pursed her lips and smiled, and quickly understood what the lady meant.
"Go and prepare the carriage. Let's go back to Xie's house."
Zhu Fang nodded respectfully, then stepped back and left.
Xie Wanyu returned to Xie's house, but she didn't expect to meet Tai Shuqi here.
He was slightly startled, then he came to his senses and leaned over and said, "I have met the prince."
"Yes." Tai Shuqi responded lightly, and the person who was about to leave sat down again.
Xie Gan asked doubtfully, "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"
Didn’t I just finish what I wanted to say? Could there be something else going on?
"It's rare for Mrs. Hou to come back. Please tell me first that this king's matter is not urgent." Tai Shuyi drank tea calmly.
Xie Gan couldn't help but think of what happened last time. He always felt that there was something between him and his daughter, but he also felt that his daughter was definitely not that kind of person. Maybe he thought too much.
Xie Wanyu didn't think much about it. She didn't care about Tai Shuqi's presence and said directly, "Father, my daughter wants to find a master for Pei Zhi and teach him some self-defense martial arts."
"this……"
"There are many people with strong martial arts skills in my palace. If Mrs. Hou is willing, she can send him to my palace." Tai Shuqi put down the teacup in his hand and said first.
"No." Xie Gan refused.
He didn't want his daughter to have too much contact with Tai Shuqi. This was not a good thing.
Tai Shuqi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Master Xie, what does this mean? Do you think my teaching is not admirable?"
"The prince has misunderstood." Xie Gan immediately waved his hand and explained: "I am just worried that the prince is of high status. If I follow you to practice martial arts, I am afraid it will cause you trouble, so I want to decline this request."
"That's not necessary. There aren't that many rules in my palace." Tai Shuqi refused lightly, "Besides, I have never been afraid of any trouble in this world."
Hearing this, Xie Gan wanted to say something more, but Xie Wanyu took the words and said, "In that case, I'll trouble the prince."
"Yes." Tai Shuyi nodded with satisfaction, and finally handed a token to Xie Wanyu's hand.
"With this token in the future, you can come and go from the palace at will." Tai Shuqi, perhaps sensing that this was a bit ambiguous, continued, "It will be easier to wear it in and out this way."
Xie Wanyu stretched out her hand to take the token, which was considered as giving Pei Zhi a good place to go, and others would have to think twice if they wanted to bully him in the future.
Tai Shuyi nodded, then stood up and walked out the door.
After he left, Xie Gan pulled his daughter and asked with a serious face, "What happened between you and the prince?"
"What does father mean by this? Could it be that he suspects that there is something shady going on between his daughter and the prince?"
Xie Gan didn't know how to answer, so he could only remain silent, which also meant that he acquiesced to what Xie Wanyu said just now.
"Father, my daughter can swear to God that she will never do anything inappropriate with the prince." Xie Wanyu held out three fingers and swore solemnly.
