Wu Sheyue gave a very fake smile, "Oh, then I thank you for being old, but it's not convenient for my sister-in-law now. Brother-in-law, you can go and do whatever you want. I won't stay~" She is really good at this generation I don’t understand the calculation.
But Xin Zhi didn't care about that. He still looked at her deeply for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Are you still angry about what happened at that time? Do you still hate me?"
This old man usually talks about "this palace, my palace" every day, but now he has learned to call himself "I", which is really uncomfortable.
But Wu Sheyue said disdainfully: "You're worrying too much. I'm very busy and don't have the time to spare."
But Xin Zhi looked like he didn't believe it. He shook his head and sighed, "If you're not angry, why did you treat me like this as soon as they left? I, I know, I did have bad things in the past, but then There are many reasons for this, and it's not my fault alone. I know you blame me, but... can't we let go of the past? "
"Put it down?" Anyway, both she and Xin Zhi knew each other's virtues, and they were too lazy to continue pretending to be ladies. She just leaned back, crossed her legs and picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "Don't make it sound like I'm with you. It's like having legs. You people are really interesting~ You provoke me every time you want to mess with me, and when you need to reconcile, you turn around and pretend to be generous with me. Who gave you the courage? The Emperor?"
"But it's not like we have any deep hatred—"
"It's a deep hatred~" Wu Sheyue's smile became more sinister, "How my aunt died, the Eighth Prince hasn't figured it out yet. Don't say that you don't dare to move if I don't move now, that's just because I haven't thought about it yet. How can I touch you?"
Xin Zhi was stunned for a moment. He had already forgotten about Aunt Wu Sheyue. After thinking for a long time, he made up his mind and said: "No, Yue'er... I really didn't kill her..."
"Oh, thank you Eighth Prince for your explanation. I believe it, I really believe it, please~" She said perfunctorily.
But Xin Zhi took another step forward and approached her, "Yue'er, listen to me, I'm actually pretty good to you -"
Wu Sheyue pushed the tea cup to the side and shouted loudly, "Sisi, come here!" Sisi was passing by with a kettle, and upon hearing this, she immediately came to Wu Sheyue's side.
Xin Zhi was a little puzzled, so Wu Sheyue picked up the pot in Sisi's hand and poured it on him. When the water spilled out, there was white smoke, which was scalding to look at.
"Hey!"
But Wu Sheyue continued to shake the pot in her hand with a cold face, and the boiling water was like a water dragon, accurately calling Xin Zhi. Xin Zhi screamed and dodged, but he forgot that Wu Sheyue's skill was enough to play with him with a pot.
Xin Zhi just shouted like this, and was driven out of the door by Wu Sheyue. He stood awkwardly at the gate, pointed at Wu Sheyue and shouted: "How dare you treat me like this! Do you know that you are breaking the law?"
However, Wu Sheyue showed no expression and kicked the door shut in front of him, "Your Majesty, MLGB, you can't hold it in a few times."
Xin Zhi's roar outside the door was still ringing. Wu Sheyue turned around, and Sisi was looking at her in shock, "Miss... is it okay to do this?"
"It doesn't matter~" The emperor was reluctant to touch her now. She would be sorry for herself if she didn't bully others quickly. What's more, these people in the Prime Minister's Mansion have some ulterior motives, and they probably won't make it too difficult for her to disrupt the plan before they achieve their goals.
The sounds outside had gradually stopped. Wu Sheyue walked back and sighed: "The medicine has been poured, and there is no need to bring it later."
"oh… "
She stopped where she was, looking at the box with the ring on the table and frowning slightly, as if she wanted to understand something.
The old lady suddenly put aside her grudges and even came to visit her, and Xin Zhi made an inexplicable gesture of reconciliation. These people are trying to cause trouble...
—
The truth was as Wu Sheyue expected, even if she gave Xin Zhi some boiling water, no one would bother her.
That night, the old lady happily invited the theater troupe and invited people from all the courtyards to come and watch the show. It seemed that she liked the marriage between Xin Zhi and Wu Lixiang very much, but Wu Sheyue still remembered how tense it was at the beginning.
Wu Sheyue wanted to continue to deal with it, but she was afraid that the old lady would come to the door again and cause trouble for herself.
The sky was dark, rows of lanterns were set up in the large courtyard, and the surrounding area was brightly lit. A stage was set up in the open space in the courtyard, and a row of stools below were occupied by the female family members of the prime minister's palace.
As soon as Wu Sheyue arrived, the old lady invited her to sit next to her, as if the previous grudges and conflicts had never occurred. Not only that, the love the old lady showed today was even more direct and... purposeful than before. At least that's how Wu Sheyue felt.
Wu Sheyue looked at the layout of this seat. Xin Zhi had already changed his clothes and was sitting on the left side of the old lady. Next to him was Wu Lixiang. Wu Ziqi also came today, but he has become taciturn since he was injured. He only occasionally glared at Wu Sheyue to let her know that this man had not forgotten his old grudge.
However, these two noble heirs did not sit on the right side of the old lady. Instead, they sat in a corner of the stage closer to Jiang Qingxue, as if they were afraid of not being able to see the play clearly.
The other aunts, ladies and gentlemen sat scattered in the back. It was almost time, and the actors on the stage started singing.
Ning Shuang sat a little far away holding her two children, looking at her sons lovingly. She rarely had the chance to hold her two children, so she was not interested in the drama at all. Wu Jinghua, on the other hand, seemed to understand very well and chatted endlessly to Wu Ziming and Aunt Meng. Such a lively and warm scene, people who don't know it would really think it is family harmony.
The old lady suddenly turned her head and asked Wu Sheyue, "Girl, which song do you want to watch? Go and ask them to sing."
Wu Sheyue smiled and said: "Yue'er hasn't seen any plays, so we should listen to my grandmother. She must know a lot of good plays."
The old lady nodded, "Yes, people say that this drama is like life. It will be good for you to see more about other people's lives."
"Yes." She nodded obediently.
But after a while, Wu Sheyue realized that what was being sung on the stage was "The Fight for Marriage". The love-hate relationship between two women and one man is a bit cliche. The jealous fight between the two female actors was too real, but for a modern person's perspective, Wu Sheyue couldn't accept such a plot, so she continued to look at the surrounding environment.
Soon, the servants and maids came to add tea and water. The old lady picked up the teacup next to her and said to Wu Sheyue: "Try this, Mingqi sent it." (To be continued)
