Chapter 162: There's a Problem with This Man
Caiyun didn't respond, and looked at Xue Jinyi first.
"This young lady is the daughter of Mrs. Cousin, surnamed Chen, and they went to the capital some time ago, and they live in the Yunbo Courtyard next to Taoming Courtyard." Mama Yao said softly: "The slave maid heard that the other courtyards that were originally given to them were originally given, but Mrs. Chen suddenly pointed out that she wanted Yunbo Courtyard, and Madame agreed without much thought. β
Xue Jinyi thought about it and shook her head at Caiyun.
Caiyu shouted outside the door: "I'm sorry, Miss Jin is tired and has rested, please come back another day." β
"Miss Cousin brought some gifts and wanted to give them to Miss Jin, please open the door?"
Caiyun said: "Miss Jin doesn't command, we don't dare to accept gifts casually." β
There was silence outside for a moment, and then the voice sounded again, "Alright then, we'll come back another day." β
Caiyun leaned on the crack of the door, looked at it carefully, and then returned to Xue Jinyi, "Miss Jin, they're leaving." β
Xue Jinyi ordered everyone to sit down and rest, but Qinglan and Qingzhi couldn't stay idle, so they took the initiative to ask to tidy up the house, so they went with them.
She took a book and sat down at the stone table under the tree.
Caiyun went to help Qinglan and them, and Mama Yao asked puzzledly: "Miss Cousin looks at her kindness, why doesn't Miss Jin see her?" β
"I've heard that she asked me when I'm going home, and now I've heard that they are going to live next to Taoming Courtyard, so I came to see me in a hurry as soon as I got home," Xue Jinyi shook her head, "This person is a little weird." Mama, what have you heard when you're at home? β
Mama Yao thought about it carefully, "No." Mrs. lost her temper because she couldn't marry her daughter, and even Mrs. Chen's mother and daughter didn't dare to appear in front of Mrs. Chen. They have been staying in Yunbo Courtyard for the past few days, and at most they are walking around with the second and third wives. β
Hearing this, Xue Jinyi felt even more strange.
She's not a star actress now, what's so appealing?
Her fiancΓ©, King Chu, is an unfavored prince who has no real power in his hands, and he can't do anything if he begs her.
Mama Yao said: "Miss Jin, Miss Cousin is a newcomer, and she thinks that you are the eldest daughter of the Duke of Weiguo, and it will be rude not to come to see you?" β
"Is there anything else you can tell me?" Xue Jinyi asked.
Mama Yao thought for a while, "I have met Miss Cousin twice, she speaks softly and gently, a little shy, and treats people very kindly. And that Mrs. Chen is always frowning and doesn't smile much, maybe her husband died and she didn't have a good time at her in-law's house, so she was depressed, right? β
It is difficult to know the face of the person, Xue Jinyi slowly turned the pages of the book.
Coldly, she thought of a possibility.
"That's not impossible......" Xue Jinyi muttered to herself in a low voice.
Mama Yao didn't hear clearly, "What? β
"Nothing."
Why Miss Biao was so anxious to see her, this mystery had to be solved by herself.
Before lunch, Xue Jinyi put the first bowl of braised noodles into the food box and took Qinglan and Qingzhi to Yunjiayuan.
Mrs. Xue didn't want her to ask for peace, but the old lady didn't say no?
Last time, she asked Caiyun and them to go back to the Weiguo Mansion, and this time she had to personally come to greet Mrs. Xue, who had not been seen for a while.
Following Fuyun into the house, she watched Xue Huai stick out his tongue and make a grimace.
Xue Jinyi smiled and saluted Old Madam Xue, and then personally delivered the stewed noodles to her.
As soon as the lid of the food box was opened, a salty fragrance wrapped in the smell of pasta entered Old Madam Xue's nose, and Xue Huai, who was seducing, also hurriedly looked like he was about to drool.
Old Madam Xue looked at her granddaughter's face and understood that she was all right in the eldest princess's mansion, but her eyes turned red.
Xue Jinyi rubbed her hand lightly and said softly: "Grandmother, since the King of Chu and Jinyi have been together for a while, they have fallen in love ......."
She had considered these words on the way here, so she said them naturally, with a hint of shyness in her expression, no different from a girl who mentioned her crush to her elders.
"King Chu is not what is rumored to be by the outside world, he is a very good person, and he takes good care of me. Recently, when I talked about the King of Chu outside, I don't know if my grandmother had heard of it. β
Old Madam Xue heard about it, but she said, "I think of the fact that you made Sun Suci and the Sun family bleed dozens of taels of gold." β
Xue Jinyi smiled sweetly at the old lady, "Thanks to the cooperation of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, otherwise, with Jinyi's own efforts, how could she do such a big thing?" β
"You." Old Madam Xue smiled and tapped the tip of her granddaughter's nose, "This is not married yet, and they have already spoken to him." β
She knew that Xue Jinyi was different from the past, so she believed that what she said was true, and when she thought that there was only half a month left in the marriage, her heart was full of emotion and worry.
Xue Jinyi kept paying attention to the old lady's face, and comforted softly: "Grandmother, don't worry, my marriage to the King of Chu will not affect the affairs of the family, on the contrary, with the help of the King of Chu and the eldest princess behind me, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." β
A hint of joy stained Old Madam Xue's somewhat cloudy eyes, and she asked with some excitement, "Really?" Is the eldest princess really willing to help us? β
"Nature." Xue Jinyi nodded.
Her calm expression surprised Old Madam Xue, and she lowered her voice and asked, "The eldest princess will never help people for no reason, do you want you to do anything......?"
Xue Jinyi held Mrs. Xue's hand lightly and heavily, this force just made people feel comfortable and reassured, "Grandmother, rest assured, Jinyi has her own measure." β
Seeing that Mrs. Xue still cared about herself in addition to regaining the Xue family's property, she was relieved and moved.
"Grandmother, this is the stewed noodles I made, less oil and less salt, the best for your body, eat it while it's hot, right?"
"Where's my share?" Xue hugged his arms and stared at him.
Xue Jinyi smiled: "You go back with me to eat?" β
Xue Huai's nostrils turned to the sky, "Okay." β
Xue Jinyi didn't plan to stay in Yunjia Courtyard for a long time, so after Mrs. Xue tasted a bite of noodles and praised them for being delicious, she took Xue Huai back to the broken courtyard.
"Xue Jinyi, are you really going to marry the King of Chu?" Xue Huai still felt that this news was very untrue.
"Reluctant to me?"
Xue Huai snorted coldly, and said with a tiger face: "I'm kidding, if the King of Chu bullies you in the future, I won't help you!" β
"Tsk." Xue Jinyi pinched Xue Huai's little face and said with a smile: "I know that the second brother is the best." β
Xue Huai pouted, he was about to scold as usual, but at this moment, tears appeared in his eyes, and he hugged Xue Jinyi's arm, "After you marry the King of Chu, can we still meet often?" β
"Of course." Xue Jinyi patted him on the shoulder, "I promised to teach you martial arts." β
"Really?"
"Hmm."
Xue Huai rubbed and rubbed on Xue Jinyi's arm, "Brother-in-law is so good!" β
Xue Jinyi sighed, "This is called brother-in-law?" β
"It's my brother-in-law?" Xue Huai was arrogant.
Xue Jinyi took advantage of his pride and pinched it
"Huh? Why is that Chen Jingyao at the door of your yard? Xue Huai suddenly pointed to the front and said unhappily.
