"Can the Crown Prince really lower his face and beg Master Bai to show his favor?"
Back at the table, the discussion around them had intensified. Chunxiao stretched her neck curiously and looked around.
She has no interest in delicacies, but it is fun to see Liu Chengyu lose face!
"But why does the Crown Princess want to plan for him?"
"Do you think my idea is a good one?" Xia Yunxian looked at Chunxiao amusedly. Recently, this little maid has become more and more clever.
"Of course it's good. It's the stupidest decision to push yourself into a corner just for the sake of so-called face!"
As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. As long as they survive, who will dare to mention the original scandal when they are prosperous in the future?
How many successful and famous people have bowed their heads for a grain of rice!
A flash of light flashed across Xia Yunxian's eyes, "Liu Chengyu is a smart man. Don't let him kneel down to Bai Yujing without wronging him. After all, don't many ministers in the court kneel down?"
But just because the idea was given by her, Liu Chengyu would not adopt it.
He would only think that she was deliberately trying to harm him and did not really want to help the Hou Mansion tide over the difficulties.
Xia Yunxian just wanted to provoke him, make him lose his mind and make wrong judgments, and finally suffer the consequences!
"I've kept you waiting!" Soon, everyone saw Liu Chengyu with a proud smile on his face, leading a group of maids behind him carrying delicacies to come towards him.
Xia Yunxian's lips curled up, but Chunxiao was a little disappointed, "Strange, why is the old lady missing?"
"Presumably, he lost too much blood and passed out on the bed."
Wasn't it too much blood loss?
Jiang Ruyan should be running out of clothes, but Mrs. Liu's place has not been empty yet. How could Xia Yunxian forget the several land deeds that Liu Qingqing had intercepted that night!
This mother-in-law is much richer than she imagined. If she wants to push the Liu family to a dead end, she must not let anything slip through the net!
She expected that Liu Chengyu would ignore the friendship between mother and son and force Mrs. Liu to clean up the mess. She wanted to see how long this method of demolishing one wall to make up for the other could last the Hou Mansion!
"Thank you for the hospitality, Your Majesty. It's so delicious. I will definitely come here to eat here often in the future!"
Bai Yujing stood up contentedly, and with one sentence, Liu Chengyu, who had just been full of joy, instantly froze.
"Why, you don't want to? I admire the prince's eclectic style very much. After all, not everyone can use a woman's money with such peace of mind."
As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of contempt from all around.
Liu Chengyu's heart was shaken, and his sharp eyes immediately shot in Xia Yunxian's direction.
I see!
"I didn't expect that this treasure, which the literati can only ask for, is worthless in Miss Ruyan's eyes!"
Chunxiao's voice came from outside the door without warning, and the master and servant walked into everyone's sight with the brocade box that Jiang Ruyan had thrown in the garden.
When Liu Chengyu saw what was in the box, his face instantly turned black!
The seal of Taifu Wu is indeed printed on the Zizhu pen barrel. Who doesn't know that Taifu was rich in learning and had disciples all over the world. The langhao pen he presented is of great significance, symbolizing a boundless career!
This gift simply cannot be measured in money!
"My grandfather doesn't like vulgar things. This was a blessing that he had prepared long ago to give to his great-grandson. Unexpectedly, sister Ruyan abandoned it on the roadside. In this case, I won't force it."
Xia Yunxian signaled Chunxiao to take the box back, but Mrs. Liu was too late to stop her. She was so angry that she almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Even though she was extremely anxious, she couldn't take it by force. If this matter spread, the literati of Dongling Kingdom would be able to flood the Hou Mansion with their saliva!
"You, you actually threw away the good intention that Mr. Wu gave to my sweet grandson?!"
She had wrongly blamed her daughter-in-law before, thinking that her daughter-in-law didn't like Yao'er well, but she gave such a good thing, which showed that she didn't treat Yao'er as an outsider!
On the other hand, Jiang Ruyan, the biological mother, is short-sighted and does not know good things, and is narrow-minded and cannot even tolerate a single thought!
At this moment, Jiang Ruyan was being pointed at and scolded by Mrs. Liu, but her mind went blank. How could she have imagined that this deal was of great significance!
But if it was such a precious thing, why didn't Xia Yunhan remind her to pick it up and keep it properly when he saw it before?
He must have done it on purpose!
He pretends to be a brother who loves his sister, but he does this behind his back!
"Xia Yunxian! You, please immediately ask the store under your name to send over this month's account. I will punish her well!"
Seeing Xia Yunxian turning around to leave, Liu Chengyu quickly stopped him without caring about the previous revenge.
"What does it have to do with me whether the prince punishes her or not?" It's really ridiculous. Is Jiang Ruyan's life so valuable?
Liu Chengyu was so angry that he said, "If you hadn't let go, how could the Hou Mansion have been forced into this situation!"
Xia Yunxian met his angry gaze calmly, pretending to be confused, "Yunxian didn't hold a grand birthday party for the two children in the past because he was worried that the Hou family would be too public and cause trouble. The prince has prepared such a grand occasion today, so he should have done everything. Are you ready?"
"..." Liu Chengyu's face froze, and he couldn't say a word.
"From now on, all the stores under Yun Xian's name will no longer send bills. The prince must give up on this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ruyan almost fainted. She almost used up all her strength to block Xia Yunxian, "Sister, do you not care about the life or death of the young master and the young lady?"
She originally just wanted to get through these few days and feel more relaxed after getting those accounts, but now Xia Yunxian actually said no more? !
This is cutting off her way of survival and ending her only remaining hope!
"My sister is joking. If you are short of money, just ask Mr. Bai to get it. He won't want his adopted son to starve to death."
Xia Yunxian's words immediately turned Jiang Ruyan's face into an earthy color.
"Sister is so cruel! Even if you are dissatisfied with your sister, you should not anger the children. After raising them for so many years, don't you have any friendship at all?"
"Cruel? You are eager for quick success and want to express yourself. You know that the Marquis Mansion is in dire straits but you still spend so much money. We really need to blame it. It is your vanity that has harmed them!"
Xia Yunxian pressed forward step by step, "Who is Bai Yujing? I am just a woman and a child, so why should I fight with him? Now he wants to deal with the Hou Mansion. If he fails once, there will be a second time. Who has the ability to avoid future troubles?!"
Hearing what she said, everyone's eyes trembled.
right!
Bai Yujing is targeting the Hou Mansion!
So what if I prepare all the abalone and ginseng wings for him today? If he is not happy another day, he will come to the Marquis Mansion to cause trouble!
Liu Chengyu's chest heaved violently. Being entangled by such an evil spirit, the Liu family would never have peace!
"Yunxian can show the way to the prince. Now go out and apologize to Bai Yujing. No matter how lawless he is, can he kill people and set fire to people in public just because the Marquis Mansion has no money?"
Xia Yunxian didn't stop any longer. Mrs. Liu awkwardly approached Liu Chengyu, whose face was getting more and more ferocious, and tried to persuade him earnestly.
