Chi Yao stood up suddenly. Her face turned pale and ugly.

She said hurriedly: "Mr. Wu is naturally good. I still have something to do, so I will go ahead and look for my sister next time."

Liu Nianchu paused but didn't try to stay, and then said to the servant waiting behind him: "Chunhe, send one to Miss Chi."

As soon as Chi Yao left, she threw away the ring and wiped her hands in disgust.

The woman in the room came forward respectfully and put the ring on the bookshelf: "Old slave, I feel that something is not right with this girl."

Liu Nianchu twitched his lips: "It's more than just something not quite right."

"She likes to show off the most. She often comes to me, either to show off that she has an aunt who is the Queen, or to show off how much that old guy Chi Zhang loves her. When she came here today, she didn't drink tea or say anything. She was completely lost.

outrageous."

"When it comes to her mother, she deliberately avoids it. It's true that she doesn't seem to care much about her bedridden mother."

"I specifically mentioned Wu Xuchen, just waiting for her to show off her fiancé. I passed the opportunity and gave her a gift on the stairs, but the other party didn't accept the move. I guess there was something fishy about it."

Interesting.

The mother-in-law smiled, with fine lines on her face: "Miss Xu Shichi despises this marriage and is dissatisfied."

But Liu Nianchu sneered: "Dissatisfied? Wu Xuchen can be regarded as an accomplished young master in Lin'an. With her character, how can she be dissatisfied? When she wakes up, she wishes she could be her Mrs. Wu after the three-year mourning period has passed."

"Should we check it out then?"

"It's not a good thing after all. Even after checking it, it seems unlucky."

Liu Nianchu obviously didn't want to mention it more, but she raised her eyebrows and sat up straight: "Have you asked about the woman I saw at Buzhuang last time? What is her identity?"

The mother-in-law said quickly: "I found out about it early in the morning, but since Miss Chi is here, it's hard for me to mention it."

"That is the Crown Princess of Dingguo Palace."

Liu Nianchu:???

She seemed to be interested all of a sudden and didn't even bother to drink the tea: "Gu Huaizhi's wife?"

"Exactly."

"He is the most picky person and has many things to do, but he has a good eye for choosing a wife."

Liu Nianchu lowered his eyes and moved his red lips: "That person always makes me feel like I've seen him before."

"Girl." Chunhe came back from seeing someone off, stepped forward and blessed Fu's body, and said with reluctance on his face: "Madam, she is carrying meals and is asking to see you outside."

Liu Nianchu: "No."

Chunhe was embarrassed: "They said that if the girl doesn't see her, she won't go back."

Liu Nianchu's face turned cold: "She is a step-brother, so it's okay to be honest and do her duty. I have endured the disgusting act of mother-daughter love outside again and again, and now she has learned to threaten others?"

Liu Nianchu's mood was obviously at its lowest.

She stood up irritably and strode outside.

As soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I saw Zhu Shu laughing sarcastically.

Zhu Shu quickly stepped forward and said, "Nianchu, I did wrong you last time. I'm here to say I'm sorry."

Liu Nianchu smiled: "Excuse me? How can your nephew's matter be settled just by saying I'm sorry?"

Zhu Shu smiled and lost a lot of confidence: "Isn't this a big mistake yet... Besides, he also had one of his legs broken by the master."

Liu Nianchu didn't want to hear this, so he immediately interrupted: "It's not enough to break a leg. Madam, please remember that you are a member of the Liu family now, and it is not your incompetent nephew who should feel sorry for you, so as not to cause trouble if you are not familiar with each other.

What a joke."

Zhu Shu could only continue to laugh: "How can I not feel sorry for you?"

Liu Nianchu smiled: "I don't want to get married. It's because I don't want to get married. It's not that I can't get married. Your nephew is not even worthy of carrying my shoes, so he dares to think about me? If Madam is really free,

So I went to the ancestral hall and knelt in front of my ancestors. In the Liu Mansion, there is an old lady in charge of the house. My father makes the decision for me, so you don’t have to worry about my marriage."

What she said clearly did not take Zhu Shu seriously. However, it was also true.

Although Zhu Shu was a step-mother, she only had the false title of a step-mother. She was neither favored by Taifu Liu nor valued by the old lady. She did not have a son or a half daughter, so she became the most embarrassing master of the Liu family.

You can't blame others. If she didn't have those crooked thoughts, she wouldn't be so shameless.

Who is showing this pitiful appearance now?

The woman beside Liu Nianchu stood up straight and made a gesture of invitation. Her words were not too respectful, but neither condescending nor arrogant.

"Our girl's yard is never open to outsiders. This is what the master and the old lady have agreed to. If the lady is dissatisfied with this, she can just go to these two masters. Why bother to embarrass our girl?"

outsider?

She is Mrs. Liu! Liu Nianchu should call her mother!

Zhu Shu gritted her silver teeth and wished she could go forward and tear Liu Nianchu's face into pieces.

She really didn't understand what Liu Nianchu was thinking.

There were countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries who came to propose marriage, and they were all well-known figures in Lin'an.

Even the prince had offered an olive branch to Liu Mansion before marrying his wife, but Liu Nianchu was better off. She bluntly said that she didn't like him at the house. The master was also stupid. He didn't care about offending the prince, but he also pretended to be stupid for the sake of his daughter.

Filled with confusion.

Even the prince doesn't like her. Are her eyes like those in the sky? Or is she planning to be an old lady for the rest of her life?

Now at this age, the marriage has not yet been decided. In a few years, if she wants to get married, will those young men still be able to like her?

It's okay not to get married, so as not to offend Liu Mansion's reputation.

Zhu Shu cursed in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

She could only continue to sneer: "It was my lack of consideration that made the girl feel disgusted. I will leave now, I will leave now."

Liu Nianchu saw her walking away with a cold face, and then he slowly looked away and warned in a cold voice: "Keep this matter secret and don't let grandma know about it."

"Grandma is getting older. She is already worried about my affairs. This is already unfilial on my part. I shouldn't let her get in trouble for this."

"yes."

Liu Nianchu lowered his eyes.

Her eyes flashed and she ordered: "Let the cook prepare some jujube paste cakes."

Liu Nianchu never believed in coincidences, let alone falling in love at first sight. She only believed in her own feelings.

"I'll take him to visit Gu Huaizhi's wife."

Mother-in-law:???

Is this still a girl who doesn't know how to get out of her house?

"Girl, you are going out again? But last time Mrs. Dingguo came to visit with her daughter-in-law, which made the old lady suffer a lot. If you make friends with her, it would really be..."

Liu Nianchu caught the key word: "You said she also came that day?"

"Yes."

Liu Nianchu sighed regretfully: "What a pity."

"On that day, if I accompany my grandmother to meet guests, I can see her earlier."

Mother-in-law:......

"Although the Crown Princess is a rare beauty, you are not bad at all, girl. I really don't know how she fell in your eyes."
