Longshanju's dim sum has always been in short supply, and the shops usually close before noon - the good stuff will be sold out early in the morning. Moreover, the price of Longshan Residence is also very gratifying. If Yu Jing had not accompanied her today, Wu Sheyue would not have been able to get this bargain.
Wu Ziming hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly reached out and took it. He said dully with a gloomy face, "Then thank you Third Sister for always thinking about me."
He was able to soften his attitude slightly, mainly because he felt that the matter this time was still a bit unclear, and in the final analysis, he could not immediately blame Wu Sheyue. And he didn't want to make any more enemies for himself at this critical moment. So instead of being friendly, maintaining the status quo is the best policy.
Aunt Liu glared at Wu Ziming's hand, looking at it as if she wanted to throw something. But the thick oil paper, yellow-green and red high-end ribbons all indicate that this is really a good thing from Longshanju. Aunt Liu was torn in her heart. That was something you couldn't usually afford to buy a big house...
Her expression changed for a moment, but finally she was reluctant to take action.
Wu Sheyue didn't seem to hear Wu Ziming's strange aura, and still said to Aunt Liu softly: "I won't go in to see the fourth sister. She probably wants to stay by herself. Auntie, please don't get angry with the fourth sister. , after all, my sister is still young, and this is the time when she needs my aunt’s comfort. Yue’er will go back now. If there is anything I can do to help, my aunt must send someone over to let me know.”
"A cat cries like a mouse!" Aunt Liu snorted heavily.
On the other hand, although Wu Ziming had a stiff attitude, he sent the person out politely.
After leaving Aunt Liu's yard, Ning'er immediately asked, "Did Miss see anything?"
Wu Sheyue smiled and said, "You girl, you're trying to trick me~ Hey, if I'm not wrong, Ning Shuang just came over."
The doors and windows were closed in the summer, and Aunt Liu was almost going crazy with her behavior. No matter what Ning Shuang said when she came here, she was definitely not an economical person.
Ning'er pursed her lips and thought, "Could it be that... Miss Ning Shuang is also a secretive person?"
Wu Sheyue smiled and whispered in Ning'er's ear, "Hey, do you think this Prime Minister's Mansion is particularly scary?" Her tone was brisk, as if she was asking you if you thought the weather was good today.
Ning'er shrank her shoulders and said worriedly: "It's a bit. Aunt Zhao, who appears to be the poorest, is actually the richest. The young master who should be disliked is actually a disciple of an expert. Now even the low-key Ning Shuang is actually behind the scenes. Adding insult to injury... people's hearts are really complicated."
"The human heart is something that you will never understand in your lifetime~"

After Wu Sheyue returned to the west courtyard, she immediately asked a few people to go out and keep an eye on the news in the house.
Sure enough, Xin Zhi came over in the afternoon. Moreover, as soon as Xin Zhi walked in, Tao Tao quietly ran away from the back door. Sisi, who had been keeping an eye on the movement in the big room, followed all the way out of the house. Wu Sheyue felt that if her guess was correct, Cherry should have gone to Jiang Taiguo's mansion.
Xin Zhi entered Wu Hantian's study alone. Not long after, Aunt Liu pulled Wu Ziming and Wu Lixiang and chased after him. Presumably, like Wu Sheyue, she also arranged several spies.
The details of how these people negotiated or quarreled are not yet clear. In short, Wu Lixiang's decision to become the Eighth Prince's concubine is almost certain. Now all she has to do is wait for Wu Lixiang to have haircut after the next year, and she will be sent to the Eighth Prince's house immediately.
Aunt Liu cried again as expected, but this time she just sobbed and wiped her tears, not as hysterical as before.
Come to think of it, Xin Zhi is still a prince no matter how useless and flowery she is, and she, an aunt, would not dare to be too presumptuous. And marrying a prince is not bad for a concubine. Moreover, Wu Lixiang lost her virginity and the outcome of the matter cannot be changed. Continuing to be hysterical will only make Xin Zhi hate Wu Lixiang and make life difficult for her daughter after marrying her. It's better to show weakness and cry. It's more important to have more promises and benefits.
Wu Sheyue was waiting for news from all aspects in the yard, but Xin Zhi hadn't left yet, but the boy next to Wu Hantian was waiting...
The boy said that the prime minister wanted to see her now and asked her to hurry up and wait in the square hall of Yuxuanting.
In fact, Wu Sheyue wasn't worried about what Wu Hantian would do to her, she just felt a little unhappy -
Yu Jing just made a promise to her this morning! He said that he would take action on this matter immediately, and that no one would affect her in the near future. But why did Wu Hantian come to see her again just in the afternoon? Does it mean that "recently" means "a long time"? What about his efficiency? Was it eaten by a dog

Although Wu Sheyue was extremely irritable, there was nothing she could do. This time she did not take Ning'er with her, but followed the boy alone.
Yuxuanting is Wu Hantian's place, and this is Wu Sheyue's first time visiting his father.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw that the old lady and Jiang Qingxue were also there. The two people looked cold and serious, with sad faces, and Jiang Qingxue looked a little nervous.
Wu Liuyun and Wu Ziqi were nowhere to be seen, probably trying to avoid the limelight. On the other hand, Wu Jinghua and Aunt Meng, two people who shouldn't be there, made do with it. They saw that it was not their own business and they were in the mood to watch the fun.
"Grandma, mother." As soon as Wu Sheyue said hello, there were messy footsteps behind her. It was Hantian, and Xin Zhi and the people from the fourth room came over from the study.
After Wu Hantian entered the room, he went straight to the seat at the top. Aunt Liu supported Wu Lixiang. Xiu glared at Wu Sheyue fiercely from the moment she entered the door, but Wu Ziming didn't even look at her.
Wu Hantian sat down heavily. Seeing that everyone who was supposed to come was almost here, he said in a gloomy voice: "Yue'er."
"Yes, why did dad ask me to come here?" Wu Sheyue guessed what Wu Hantian wanted to ask and began to organize words and language in her mind.
Sure enough, Wu Hantian went straight to the topic, "What happened yesterday, you-"
But before he could finish his words, a boy said outside the door: "Sir, someone is coming from Prince Yu's Mansion."
Wu Hantian stood up in shock. He had little friendship with Yu Jing before. He didn't know what was going on, so he quickly said: "Quick, invite someone in."
Wu Jinghua couldn't help but become nervous when she heard that she was from Prince Yu's Mansion. She pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands and her heart beat very fast. Originally he just wanted to see the excitement, but unexpectedly his people came. (To be continued)
