After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 45
The next day, Ruan Yuyi woke up early because she slept well in the afternoon yesterday.Mu Xiang washed and dressed for her, and went to Cheng Zhu's place to pay her respects.

The hibiscus beside the road is almost withered, only one or two sporadic flowers are left, lying on the branches under the cold wind.The branches stretched out stiffly, like lines drawn by dry ink, withered tightly.

When she passed by, she didn't stop, she just glanced sideways, not paying much attention.Hibiscus has a long flowering period, and in the late spring of the next year, there will be the next crop.

After entering Cheng Zhu's courtyard, I found that apart from Zhaorong, the other two aunts were also there.The one with the bright colored dress and the ruddy complexion is Aunt Mei. She looks much younger than Cheng Zhushi, but in fact, Aunt Mei is only four years younger than Cheng Zhushi.

She is clearly about the same age, but because of her better bones, Aunt Mei still looks charming even more.Coupled with her gentle temperament, it is not difficult to understand why Master Cheng prefers this gentle town.

Ruan Yuyi paid her respects one by one and sat down.

Then he slightly raised his eyelids, but he saw Cheng Zhu's face was gloomy, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.After Cheng Zhushi told Master Cheng about Cheng Xingqiu's crush on the eldest princess yesterday, he didn't want him to be furious, picked up a cup and threw it at her feet.

He said, Xingqiu already has a wife, how can he remarry?You are so confused!

She secretly thought in her heart that it was because he was so ignorant that he stayed in the same position all year round without being promoted.Even though he thought so, it didn't show on his face.

Cheng Zhushi explained the pros and cons to him in detail, and when he mentioned the second son's marriage, the anger on his face froze, and he couldn't refute anything else.She knew that Mr. Cheng was pitiful for the daughter-in-law, Sister Yi, but she didn't care much about which son's wife she was.

In the final analysis, it was just because of love, and she couldn't bear to arrange for Yi Yi's future life, so it was up to her to sing this good-for-nothing.

Thinking about it, Cheng Zhu glanced at Aunt Mei at the first place, with disdain in her eyes.Although Qiu'er's matter was sorted out, he was always thinking about this bitch in his heart. It was rare for him to go home, and he slept in her room at night, so he was used to seducing people.

Aunt Mei seemed to have noticed her gaze, and didn't avoid her gaze, she went straight to meet her, "Madam is not feeling well? Looks like she doesn't look well." But I don't know if these words were intended to offend others.

The two of them never got along, Ruan Yuyi knew it, but she came late, but she didn't know that Aunt Mei was just a little bit close back then, and Aunt Mei was the right lady.She was cut off by Cheng Zhushi halfway, how could she not complain.

Zhaorong was so heartbroken that she really thought that Cheng Zhushi was ill, and she was concerned, "Please ask the doctor to take a look at it later." She picked up one side of the snack and put it in her mouth.

Cheng Zhushi choked up, breathed a sigh of relief, and reluctantly said, "Thank you princess for worrying."

Serving authentic dim sum, Zhaorong frowned suddenly, took out the handkerchief, and carefully spat out the contents of his mouth, "It really takes a lot of work to cook the dining room here, it's not as good as the cook in my palace." This dim sum seems to be There is too much sugar, the mouth melts, and the mouth is full of sweetness.

"It's incomparable." Seeing this, Cheng Zhu also tasted a little bit. Although the pastry was a little dry, but sweet food has always been this sweetness, who can't make it the same?
But she couldn't go against the Eldest Princess, so with a stern face, she ordered, "Today, the dining room is negligent, and half a month's money will be deducted as punishment." The servant girl on the side bowed her head in response.

"Speaking of which," Zhao Rong looked in Ruan Yuyi's direction and said leisurely, "The handmaid next to my sister seems to be good at craftsmanship, I am picky, if my sister is not good, I will hand him over to me."

She laid the groundwork for a long time, originally intending to bring the topic here.How could Ruan Yuyi agree, "I brought her here from Wuzhou, she is not from the mansion, so it would be inappropriate to hand her over to Your Highness."

Strictly speaking, the maid who brought her husband's family is also counted as part of the dowry, and the right to dispose of it is in her hands. As for Zhao Rong, who has not yet been named, she has no right to dispose of it.

Ruan Yuyi was afraid that Muxiang would be suspicious, so she squeezed her palm in secret.

Zhaorong laughed softly, "It's just a servant girl, why is my sister protecting you so tightly. It won't be a problem for the palace to get you ten or eight more in a few days."

On the surface, she thinks that Mu Xiang is good at craftsmanship and wants to ask for someone, but in fact, in a secret place that she doesn't know about, she is holding her breath in her heart, and she has to compete with Ruan Yuyi to feel better.

She didn't know about the friendship between the two, so she thought it was nothing, but Ruan Yuyi always saw Mu Xiang as a sister.

Aunt Mei on one side was also robbed, and now she shared her feelings, and said in a warm voice, "If Your Highness likes a good cook, why don't you just go outside and find one, it will save trouble, and you won't have to bend over I went around looking for those many maidservants to arrive."

Zhaorong glanced at her, maybe she felt that an aunt was not qualified to talk to him, so she didn't answer the conversation, instead she asked Mu Xiang, "Say it yourself."

She fully thought that these servants valued money more, and with her status here, Mu Xiang had no reason not to accept this olive branch, so her tone was mixed with a kind of inevitable contempt.

Mu Xiang took a step forward, stood still, first bowed politely, and then said slowly, "My servant, thank you for your appreciation."

Hearing this, Zhaorong bent the corner of her lower lip, thinking that she had accepted it, and was about to speak out, but Mu Xiang continued, "It's just that this servant doesn't want to. If His Highness really likes your servant's craftsmanship, this servant will make it for you as a gift." Just go." She spoke resolutely, and gave a solution.

Why not?How can she be dissatisfied with being a girl from the Tian family with her, and how many people can't get jobs that she can't get?

Zhaorong has always thought highly of herself, and she can't stand rejection from others, after all, she is surrounded by people who flatter her.At this moment, she was pinching her palms tightly, trying not to throw something in front of Cheng Zhushi, she sneered.

"Okay, both of you, master and servant, have the same temper, and you've already got your temper together."

The servant girl on the side hurriedly stepped forward to hold her back and patted her on the back, but was waved away by Zhao Rongyi's sleeve.

The surroundings seemed to cool down all of a sudden, and the servants standing there didn't dare to vent their anger. No one spoke for a while, and they didn't want to run into the eldest princess' anger.Ruan Yuyi quietly squeezed the cup in her hand tightly, she tried to avoid it every step of the way, but she couldn't avoid Zhao Rong's tendency to find fault.

Cheng Zhushi was already in a moody mood, a little overwhelmed with self-care, so he half-closed his eyes, unwilling to pay attention to these open and secret fights.Seeing that the Eldest Princess lost her temper at this moment, she just smoothed things over, "Your Highness calm down, let Sister Yi think about this matter a little longer, and when she thinks it through, it won't be too late to send the person here."

Although this sister Yi is obedient, she is too unreasonable.Since the princess has asked for someone, she will be a sister-in-law in the future, so there is no reason to refuse, isn't this clearly showing the other party's face.

Zhaorong snorted coldly, reluctantly agreeing.

While the atmosphere was at a stalemate, a servant came in at the door and said, "Mrs. Mei, the master is looking for you." He looked around and saw that his wife's face was not looking well, so he said it concisely. He lowered his head again and again. It looks like it's about to be buried in the skirt of the shirt.

Originally, an aunt is not qualified to be called a wife, but the master's favor is the rule, so the whole family has been calling it like this.

Aunt Mei was called to go, her face was as calm as water, she bowed to the first place, and left with the servant.

Cheng Zhu's face was even more gloomy, but it was the master who spoke, so it was hard to say anything.So I just chatted a few gossips, and when I saw that the time was almost up, I excused myself to have a rest, and sent everyone away.

Zhao Rong didn't intend to stay any longer, cast a cold glance at Ruan Yuyi, and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
