good meal

Chapter 54

Seeing her son's expressionless face when being questioned, Madam Tong couldn't sit still, and said: "I have heard about Princess Ning'an's eloquence for a long time, seeing it today is really an eye-opener." She raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Yingying bowed and said, "I hope the concubine will be the master of the concubine. Although the child is not excited, but has a pure nature, he will never tell any lies!"

Gu's brows were slightly frowned, and she persuaded as if in extreme embarrassment: "Madam Tong, don't worry, this princess will definitely handle it fairly, and will never cover up anyone, turning the truth upside down."

What a fair deal!What a reversal of black and white!
Chu Liangrao laughed back angrily, and said, "Since Mr. Tong has physical evidence, why don't you show it to everyone?" Hearing what Chu Liangrao said, Madam Du was a little worried, but seeing that Chu Liangrao was full of confidence, she could only force her to see it. Keep calm, lest Chu Liangrao cause more trouble.

"Why not?" Mr. Tong took out his purse, put it in front of Gu Shi, and looked at Chu Liangrao's smiling face, but his calves were trembling.If this kind of aggressive tigress really married into the mansion, he would have to suffer, but now that the arrow is on the string and he has to attack, he can only bite the bullet and take a step forward.

"Ding Xiang." Chu Liangrao yelled, and Ding Xiang knew what she meant, and went forward to check the purse, whether it didn't matter or not, when she saw her, she burst out laughing.

Gu's expression was uneasy, and he reprimanded: "There are no rules! What's so funny?"

"Princess, look at this pouch. The stitches are messy and the workmanship is rough. How can it be used by the Princess?" Without waiting for anyone to argue, Ding Xiang approached again, "Huh? Isn't this a pouch for two pieces of silver in Linglongfang?"

Although Linglongfang has a good name, it does not supply noble people, but more often it supplies some civilians.

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Gu said with a serious face, "You, a maid, can you tell where you bought it? No matter how dare you talk nonsense, even if the princess intercedes for you, you will inevitably be punished!"

Ding Xiang stopped talking, Chu Liangrao said: "Ding Xiang, come here."

At this time, Mother Lin also recognized that this purse was indeed a pattern that Linglongfang was used to, and she recognized it because most of the purses that Gu's used as rewards for servants were bought there.Thinking about it, she whispered a few words in Gu's ear, Gu's complexion changed, and seeing Chu Liangrao's calm expression, there was no fear of being schemed and smeared.

"My mother forgets things a lot, since I can't remember the purpose of this purse, why don't I let my daughter remind you?" Seeing the anger flashing in Gu's eyes, Chu Liangrao said coldly, "And this Mr. Tong is really Just kidding, just take anything and say it’s a gift, what kind of place do you think the palace is!” She slapped the table, and raised her voice, “Who do you think this princess is again!”

"Well said!" There was a cheer from outside the door, and then Chu Chaoyang opened the door and walked in, followed by Ding Er and Huo Tainan.Chu Liangrao, who felt that he was saved, was embarrassed when he saw Huo Tainan, who was rewarding with eyes, and said that family ugliness should not be publicized, but today's ugliness can be heard.

Goodbye to Chu Chaoyang and did not avoid suspicion, Chu Liangrao calmed down a bit, got up and saluted.

"My lord!" Mrs. Gu hurriedly got up and saluted, and Mrs. Tong hurriedly pulled her son to salute.

"Princess, tell me, what's going on today?"

Gu's heart was up and down, he didn't know how much Chu Chaoyang heard, so he had to force a smile and said: "The prince just misunderstood."

"Oh?" Chu Chaoyang asked, "What kind of misunderstanding is it that you want to talk in the inner room?"

There was indeed a man present, and even if they had something to do, they would talk outside. Gu Shi would invite him to the inner room to keep it secret. At this time, she seemed to have opened a dyeing workshop, and her expression changed again and again.

Chu Chaoyang didn't look at her any more, and sat directly on the upper seat, and said, "Madam Tong, is Master Tong still in good health?"

"Well, well, well." Mrs. Tong said hurriedly, "my husband has been looking for a chance to thank the prince for his great kindness."

"So this is how to repay your kindness?" Chu Chaoyang glanced at the shivering Mr. Tong with a half-smile, and said, "I heard that there is a shortage of people in Qingsu now, and it seems that Master Tong is also tired of staying in the capital. , will let Mrs. Tong express it?"

Qingsu is a notoriously barren land. Mrs. Tong almost fainted from fright, she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty Mingjian, this is definitely not the meaning of the little lady."

"Madam Tong, this great gift is my heart." Grabbing the purse on the mahogany coffee table, Chu Chaoyang casually threw it on the ground and said, "Ding Er sees off the guests!"

Not allowing Mrs. Tong and Mr. Tong to struggle, Ding Er took them out one by one.

Seeing that Chu Chaoyang acted without procrastination, Huo Tainan, who had been silent all this time, said: "My lord still has family affairs to deal with, so I don't want to bother you."

Chu Chaoyang really wanted to laugh and scold this kid, if he knew it was a nuisance, why did he still listen outside the door for so long?
After thinking for a moment, Chu Liangrao also said: "Father, the misunderstanding has been resolved now, and my daughter wants to go back." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Gu's pale face, "After being so frightened, my daughter really doesn't have the heart to serve you. mother."

Naturally, Chu Chaoyang would not stop Chu Liangrao, so Chu Liangrao led the people back out, only to see Huo Tainan standing in front of the gate and nodding slightly at her.

Chu Liangrao nodded with a smile, and passed Huo Tainan.

Even though she really wanted to say hello to Huo Tainan, Chu Liangrao knew that the farce of "secret giving and receiving" had just happened today, so she should continue to hide in her own yard in the short term, so as not to be caught by others and make sarcastic remarks.

Seeing Chu Liangrao get on the sedan chair and leave, Huo Tainan showed a gentle smile on his face.

Back in his own courtyard, Chu Liangrao ordered someone to call Zhen'er back. Obviously, the old lady chose to wait and see from the other side this time, but it was much better to have Chu Chaoyang deal with it than the old lady.After Zhen'er came back, she asked someone to lock the courtyard door, and then ordered someone to prepare hot water to wash away the bad luck.

While Chu Liangrao was taking a bath, Mama Du was uneasy.

Ding Xiang's performance in today's matter is undoubtedly the best, she is not chaotic in the face of danger, and has helped Chu Liangrao a lot.Although Ding Lan didn't make a sound, she didn't make any trouble either.Zhen'er and Zhu'er also contributed their own efforts, on the other hand, she lost her position after being frightened by Gu Shi, which really made her old face nowhere to be separated.

After Chu Liangrao had bathed, Mother Du knelt on the ground to plead guilty, no matter how much the four servant girls tried to persuade her, she would not get up.

Seeing her kneeling, Chu Liangrao was silent for a while, before saying, "Mama, do you know what's wrong today?"

"The old slave's mistake was to mess up his own position. He almost played off the villain's intentions and put the princess in danger."

"Wrong!" Chu Liangrao interrupted her and raised her voice, "Your fault is that you shouldn't kneel today!"

Madam Du looked stunned. Chu Liangrao had never spoken so harshly in this year. The shame on her face was replaced by admiration. She kowtowed and said, "I know I was wrong."
