Prime Minister’s Illegitimate Daughter - Chapter 17
Chu Zhennan ignored the pleading of Aunt Liu and looked darkly at Madame Bai. “All these years, I handed you the lass. I thought you would take good care of her, but you didn’t want me to suffer all these hardships. Don’t say you don’t know anything.”
“Master has been out of the house all year round, and I’m in charge of all sorts of things in this house. I thought that it wouldn’t be a big deal for the two of them to have a small grudge, but who would have thought that the obedient Shuang girl would actually try to snatch away the girl’s things? This is my miscalculation, I won’t quibble, but I really didn’t know that the matter was so serious! How could I not care if I knew? ”
Chu Zhennan coldly snorted, “You don’t know? Which courtyard without your eyes and eyes, would be able to hide things from you? ”
When Aunt Liu, who was wiping away her tears, heard this, she suddenly looked towards Chu Mengli.
Chu Mengli looked at Aunt Liu’s resentful eyes and raised her eyebrows. She smiled brightly as she arrived in front of Chu Mengdie, “Second Sister really won’t let go of this opportunity to make an enemy! “Some people are really stupid. Every time they become a gun for you, they are still willing to do it. I can’t help but say that second sister’s methods are really good.”
“I just think that since we’re all blood-related sisters, Fourth Sister should leave some leeway.” Chu Mengdie pretended not to understand and continued to pretend to be a good person.
“I don’t think I said a word from beginning to end!” “Why does second sister think that I did it without any leeway?” Chu Mengli’s smile did not change, “Oh right, why didn’t second sister bring the Eight Treasures Blue Gem Glazed Glass Hair with her today?”
Chu Mengdie’s face turned ugly, “I don’t know what fourth sister is talking about?”
“Oh? Didn’t second sister know? “I know the origin of that hairpin. It was my mother’s dowry.” Chu Mengli gave her a deep look before she turned around and left with Zhong Xia.
Chu Mengdie stood in the hall, tightly clenching her fist in anger. Chu Mengli, I won’t let you go.
“Remember, don’t let anyone see or doubt you.”
“Don’t worry!” “Miss!”
Looking at the back of the wet nurse, Chu Mengdie’s lips curved into a strange smile. Chu Mengli, this time, I will make you lose all your reputation.
Chu Mengli and her men carried the three boxes back to the Yeshi Garden. The core and the peach happily ordered the items to be taken into the warehouse. Chu Mengli handed the account book of the warehouse over to Zhong Xia.
In the blink of an eye, it was Wang Ya Han’s birthday. Because Chu Meng Shuang was forbidden from going anywhere, she had no choice but to bring Chu Meng Die, Chu Meng Li, and Chu Meng Yue to the banquet.
Madame Bai and Chu Mengdie sat in the spacious and comfortable carriage in front while Chu Mengli and Chu Mengyue followed behind them in the small carriage.
“What do you and Madame Du do in the yard every day?” Chu Mengli asked with a gentle smile as she saw Chu Mengyue sitting in a corner with her head lowered.
Chu Mengli used to have a lot of children in the orphanage, so the older children would usually help take care of the younger children. When Chu Mengyue saw Chu Mengyue, she immediately thought of the orphanage.
Chu Mengyue raised her face into a bashful smile, “Every day, I would learn embroidery from my aunt, or else I would have to wait upon the flowers and plants. My Aunt likes to raise flowers.”
“Reading? What are you reading? ”
“Only the woman’s ring and some superficial poems.” Chu Mengyue twisted the corner of her clothes. What does Sister Li read? ”
“Me? It’s just a little bit of jargon and travel, and I think the story there is quite interesting. ”
“Is that so?”
Chu Mengli saw Chu Mengyue staring at her curiously, so she chose to tell her some casual and interesting stories. Chu Mengyue smiled bashfully, but her expression was very happy. The two of them chatted about other things along the way, and their relationship grew closer.
Along the way, they met Chu Tianzuo who was also participating in Wang Ya Han’s birthday. Chu Tianzo bowed to the Bai clan on his horse, his expression was still as indifferent as before.
There were so many carriages in front of the Duke of Wang’s mansion that the coachman stopped the carriage. They alighted from the carriage and were welcomed in by an attendant. The guest welcoming them was Wang Ya Han’s elder sister-in-law, Little Qiu.
“Lady Chu is finally here. My mother is still muttering about how you haven’t come to the Duke’s estate as a guest recently!” When Little Qiu saw Bai Shi, she quickly went forward.
Mrs Bai laughed, “Ya Han has a lot of things to prepare for her child’s birthday. I was afraid that your mother would be busy, so why would I come to add to the mess?”
“Look at what you’re saying, how can you come here to make trouble! My mother is delighted to have you. Just a moment ago, she was standing guard at the door, waiting. Isn’t this because the Eldest Princess came? My mother entered to accompany her. She even told me to definitely greet you at the door. ” With a single glance, he could tell that she was extremely smart.
“Kid, you always have a sweet mouth.” Mrs Bai held Little Qiu’s hand with a smile on her face.
Chu Mengli and Chu Mengyue followed behind Madame Bai, while Chu Mengli looked around. The nobility of the kingdom were known as the elders, and since Madam Wang was the daughter of the current empress, the palace was naturally constructed, and it was much more luxurious compared to the Residence of Prime Minister.
Wang Yuhan, who was talking to a few ladies, looked in the direction of the door from time to time. Seeing the group of people from the Bai Clan, she quickly tidied up her appearance and walked over.
“Greetings, Aunt Chu!” Wang Ya Han respectfully bowed towards the Bai Clan. He then turned to Chu Mengdie, “Die’er, why have you only just arrived?” Her tone was coquettish.
Chu Mengdie made fun of him by covering her mouth with the embroidered handkerchief, “Do you want me to come or do you want someone else?” After saying that, she smiled coquettishly as she glanced over at Chu Tianzuo.
Wang Ya Han’s face immediately turned red. She shyly peeked at it but didn’t have any expression. Chu Tianzo looked at her and said, “Die’er, what are you talking about?” He showed off his young daughter’s demeanor.
“Heh heh… You know what I said. ” Chu Meng Die gently smiled.
The Bai clan also looked at Wang Ya Han with a smile on their faces.
