Flowers are expensive

Chapter 501

"You want to drive me away again?"

"I didn't drive you away," Cui Yue shook her head lightly, "It's because you shouldn't have stayed here. You are the little prince of Prince Qi's mansion, how can you be my housekeeper? I know you want to keep this child, Then you can rest assured now, I will give birth to the child, and if you want to see it in the future, you can come to see it, it's just..."

"Just what?" Qixiang asked.

"I want to say something that the little prince should understand."

"I'm not that smart, and I don't even know you very well, why don't you just say it clearly! Don't worry about anything, anyway, you've said enough about me last time, I don't mind if you say it again It's worse, as long as it's your truth." Qixiang said sincerely.

Cuiyue opened her mouth, but didn't say what was in her throat.She originally wanted to tell Qixiang: You are not the man I want.But when she thought about what Qi Xiang had done in the past few days, she wondered if she would hurt this man too much by saying this?After all, people are sincerely taking care of their own family.

"If you don't say it, then I'll say it first," Qixiang broke the silence, pulled a stool and sat down, "Although I don't fully understand what you think, but I hope you can understand everything I think. I I can't say that you are the most special, beautiful and capable woman I have ever seen, but you are the most evocative. I can understand your scruples. After all, you lost your husband in your early years and have been single for so long. You carry it on your own, and you are used to the days when you decide everything by yourself. I can understand that you refuse to let go of your guard and accept me."

Cuiyue didn't talk to her, she sat on the couch and lowered her eyes to stare at the bowl of pink hibiscus soup.Qixiang said again: "My sister-in-law is right. I am indeed like those dudes who have nothing to do all day long. But I am just a resemblance, not the real person. I love shopping in brothels. The problem came after I married Zuo Chanyin, naturally, I can't blame her alone, and I am a little young and frivolous myself. But I can guarantee that I will never make that problem again in the future. "

"I can see the sincerity of the little prince, but...you and I are not the same way after all. The threshold of Prince Qi's residence is too high, and I really can't afford it." Cuiyue shook her head and said.

"I didn't let you climb the threshold of the palace. My Dongguo Qixiang's threshold is no different from ordinary thresholds. As long as you are willing to lift your foot, you can step over it."

"What do you mean?" Cui Yue raised her head in confusion and asked.

Qixiang smiled and said: "I listened to what my brother said, and I plan to go out independently, so that you don't have to worry about marrying into the Qi Palace, and you have to climb the high barriers of the Qi Palace."

Cuiyue was really surprised, and asked: "Are you serious? Will your parents agree?"

"I'm not the eldest son in the family. My elder brother is above me. My elder brother is much more capable than me. In his early years, he made military exploits like my elder brother Yuanyin and was named a general of Wuling. He doesn't look down on my father's title at all, that's why he did it." Give me the title, otherwise the title of the little prince should be his."

"But even so, will your parents allow you to marry a widow?"

"As long as I leave the household and form a family of my own, I can decide everything by myself without my parents asking. It is inevitable that my parents will be unhappy, because I have been very obedient and obedient since I was a child, and I rarely Disobedience to my parents, including marrying Zuo Chanyin, but—" Qi Xiang paused slightly, as if he was worried about something, and then said, "Brother Bingcan's matter It made me understand a lot. I never thought that my mother would be such a cruel person. Up to now, I still feel that it is impossible. But..."

"But what?"

"My mother also admitted that she was the one who killed brother Bingcan's own mother. She thought she had done nothing wrong, but I couldn't agree with her actions. If it weren't for my little aunt, brother Bingcan would have lived Not now. He is still so young, his father is missing, and his mother is dead again, how pitiful! So I think, no matter what, I have to take good care of my own children, and you, try my best to protect you. I'm looking at you. If you can't even do this little thing well, then why am I talking about defending the country?"

These words moved Cuiyue a little bit.But she didn't show it, she just lowered her head and fiddled with the spoon in the bowl, as if she was thinking about something.

"Drink it first!" Qi Xiang picked it up and handed it to her and said, "It doesn't taste good when it's cold. This is a private recipe I asked the chef in Baoyun Tower to steam for you with cherry honey brewed in spring." Yes, I tried it and it was delicious."

"You did it?"

"No, it's steamed by deer. I don't have that skill yet! But if you like to eat it, I can make it for you every day."

"Forget it," Cui Yue said after taking a sip of the soup, "I still can't afford such an expensive cook like you."

"You said you want to drive me away again? You can save it! As for me, I have made up my mind. Whether you want to see me or not, I will stay until you give birth to a child."

"Will you leave after I give birth?"

"Let's talk again!" Qixiang gave Cuiyue an ambiguous smile.

"You go out first, I'm going to sleep after drinking." Cui Yue stopped talking about chasing Qi Xiang away, she lowered her head and drank the soup.

"Wait!" Qixiang got up and walked to Cuiyue's side, bent down and pressed her pillow and said, "This pillow is not soft enough, I will pack some more for you tomorrow."

"One is enough."

"How can one be enough? You will have a big belly in the future, and you will have backaches and backaches. Pack a few more soft ones, so that you can use them to cushion your back. Okay, you drink, I will go out first. Don't think too much." It's too much, just sleep peacefully." Qixiang smiled at Cuiyue, then opened the door and went out.

When Cuiyue put down the spoon, she really felt warm in her heart.Even the former Ma Liu never took care of the trivial matters of life for himself so carefully and caringly. Could it be that Qixiang is sincere?She's still not sure.

Besides, Xie's family happily returned to Yueyuan from Cuiyue's house that night.When she went back, Mo Xiang found that Mrs. Zhen hadn't come back, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried.She only found out after asking the girl that Mrs. Zhen left the house an hour ago.She reckoned that she should have gone to find her sister, but she didn't care much.

It wasn't until the next morning, when her father came to her, that she knew that Zhen Shi didn't come back all night.The father and daughter were a little worried and had to go out to find Zhenshi.It was very easy to find out the inn where Mo Xue lived, but was told by the shopkeeper that he had just checked out.The two had no choice but to go back to Yueyuan in disappointment.

When the two walked to the gate, they happened to meet Yutao and Zhuang Shi going out to work.Mrs. Zhuang asked, "Did you find your mother?"

"I'm with my sister, but I don't know where they have moved now. There is no one in the inn."

"Hi! She's so big, why doesn't she have any brains? If she doesn't come back, she won't make a sound! Moxiang, don't worry, your mother won't lose you with Xie Moxue anyway."

"Well, Second Aunt, Yutao, you guys went to work so early?"

Yutao nodded and said: "Yes, the goods are selling well recently, and they are rushing to work! I won't tell you, let's go first."

"Let's go!"

Looking at the backs of Yutao and Zhuang, Moxiang seemed a little lost.Mancheng laughed quickly and said, "When Yi Sheng appoints an official, you can take the swing with you to the post. It won't be too late to do business there, don't worry."

Mo Xiang shook her head lightly and said, "Father, do you think I'm not suitable for business?"

"Who said that? Wasn't it good when you were in Yucheng?"

"Okay? My sister and brother-in-law stole so much money behind my back, and I haven't noticed it yet. I don't think I'm suitable to be a businessman." Mo Xiang said with a disappointed expression.

"That's because your sister is too cruel, no wonder you! They are all my own sisters, how could you think of her cheating? Don't think so much, Mo Xiang, let's talk about it when Yi Sheng comes back with the letter!"

Mo Xiang nodded and said: "I have to wait! Father, tell me, what did mother and sister do? Why don't they stay all night and check out and move?"

Mancheng snorted coldly and said, "Let them go! I'm too lazy to take care of it, and you don't have to take care of it. They will take care of themselves if something goes wrong!"

"No, I'd better go shopping again, maybe I can meet them!"

"You go, I'm going back to the house to catch up on sleep."

Mo Xiang bid farewell to her father, wandered around the street for a few laps but did not find Mrs. Zhen, so she went to the workshop.When I walked to the Chuanfeng Hall, I saw the female workers sitting there resting, chirping about some pleasant things while warming up.

Yutao and Zhuang's are also among them.When Mo Xiang was about to greet them, Mrs. Zhuang saw her first, and hurriedly got up and waved, "Mo Xiang! Hurry up! Come here!"

"What's the matter, Second Aunt?" Mo Xiang walked over curiously and asked with a smile.

"What's the matter! Did you know something big happened last night?" Zhuang said with a sky-falling expression on his face.

"What's the big deal? What's the big deal?"

"Do you know why your mother didn't come back last night?" Zhuang said with a serious expression.

"Why? You know?"

"Come on, sister Jiang," Zhuang said, pulling a woman sitting next to her sideways, "tell her about what happened just now, she is Xie Moxue's own sister!"

The woman surnamed Jiang took a look at Mo Xiang, and said in surprise: "Really! They both look alike! Let me tell you, I looked familiar to me in the courtroom last night!"

"In court?" Mo Xiang was quite surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Did you see someone who looks like me in the court?"

The woman surnamed Jiang rolled up her sleeves and nodded, "Our street was very lively last night, just like Chinese New Year! I told them just now, but I didn't expect that Xie Moxue was your sister! That's a ruthless character." !"

Mo Xiang hurriedly sat down and asked, "What's going on? Auntie, tell me quickly." "On our street not long ago, a kiln moved here, and it was in the rice store where my husband worked. The next door, I don’t see it much on weekdays, and it looks like it’s really quiet. But last night, my husband and I just took off our shoes and socks to soak our feet, and there was a commotion next door. We thought it was a burglar. , I didn’t even have time to put on my socks, so I grabbed the dog stick and rushed out! Who knows, it’s not a thief, it’s an adulterer!”

"Catch the traitor? Who did you catch?" Mo Xiang asked.

"Catch who? Isn't it the one from the brothel?" The woman surnamed Jiang said with her mouth twisted and her eyebrows trembling. Your sister is smashing things in the wedding hall! What a tough-tempered bastard! Throwing whatever she sees, beating that bastard, and scolding your brother-in-law, so that your brother-in-law slapped her twice!"

"And then? Is she alone?"

"There's more than one person, and the old one is leading the way. They say it's her old mother, and it should be your mother after all."

"Why did you go to court again?"

"It's not that your sister is so angry! Do you know what your brother-in-law and that brothel were doing last night? The two of them were all dressed in red, and they were married there! Where is your sister willing to follow? Grab the words written on the table of the two of them." The marriage certificate was reported to the yamen! Later, the men came and took them to the court, and called all of us who persuaded the quarrel, and we were released after a long interrogation!"
