Every time Duan Tingxuan came, he had to listen to his mother's words. He was really impatient to the extreme, and he knew that his mother was doing it for his own good, so he had to be patient and said: "Mother, I know these things in my heart. Although Daddy likes Lin Auntie and younger brother, but they are not ignorant, not to mention the emperor and empress, you treat me as my son, is it easy to waste? You don't want to worry about it, okay?"

Mrs. Yang sighed, shook her head and said sadly: "Silly boy, how do you know how powerful this is..." I just said this, but I can't go on anymore, the power of the pillow wind, she, a mother, can't do it anyway. Mentioned in front of the son.

The mother and son fell silent for a while, and suddenly saw Mrs. Yang's accompanying room, Mrs. Zhou Ming's family, walked in, and said with a smile: "Madam, the ancestors are eating fast today, and there is no need for the wife to go over to serve, so the kitchen asked the wife if she would come here sooner. Passing rice? Madam, if there is anything you want to eat, you can also send a message, and they can make it at noon."

Mrs. Yang said indifferently: "Since the old lady is eating vegetarian food, I will also eat it, so that there is no need to bother in the kitchen, it will be served at this moment." After speaking, she turned to Duan Tingxuan and said: "You got up early, I think so. Didn't eat, why don't you just eat with me before leaving?"

Duan Tingxuan said with a smile: "My son has already eaten soy milk and fried dough sticks, mother don't care about me."

Mrs. Yang became confused and said in surprise: "Soya-bean milk fritters? Do you eat this in the morning? You are not afraid of getting too oily. Which ignorant person is making this for you to please you?"

Mrs. Yang thought this was a good deed done by some concubine's room to please her son. There were a lot of people in Duan Tingxuan's room, and he was a shrewd man, so these women had only a few ways to fight for favor overtly and secretly. It's more common, didn't you see duck soup every so often in Xu Ranyun's room? Just because Duan Tingxuan eats ducks, the ducks in Anpinghou's Mansion have suffered a lot, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hell for ducks.

"It's none of their business. The son eats at Meiyuelou." Duan Tingxuan said casually, but in fact, he just wanted to say hello to his mother. Let the family still hold an attitude of hatred and contempt towards Su Nuannuan, so as not to cause chaos if they really want to bring him back to the backyard in the future.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed, and she said in a deep voice: "Mei Yuelou? Didn't you get that woman over? I was gnashing my teeth with hatred before, why are you going to eat again now? Son, you I have always been determined, how did I do such an unreliable thing this time? Is that woman easy to get involved with? These days she has no troubles, and it is not enough for me to pray to God and Buddha, and you still take the initiative to go Didn't it make her push herself?"

Duan Tingxuan was about to explain, when he heard a girl outside the door saying: "Ma'am, Siping sent a message from outside the second door, saying that someone from the Prince's residence is looking for the master."

When Mrs. Yang heard this, she didn't bother to ask questions, and immediately asked Duan Tingxuan to go quickly, so Duan Tingxuan was full of words and didn't have a chance to say anything, so she asked her mother to rush out the door.

Not to mention that the young master was depressed, and rushed to the prince's mansion with a murderous look, secretly swearing that if the prince had nothing serious and only troubled himself with things like catching birds and fishing, he would stew him and feed the birds and fish. Just talk about Mrs. Yang, after sending her son away, she came to the dining room with a lot of worries. Seeing the table full of food, she didn't have any appetite. She only ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, and ordered someone to find Xu Ranyun and Xue Zhilan together.

The two of them came very quickly, and there were a few insinuations and jokes at the door. Mrs. Yang heard it in the room, and she felt a little displeased, but she was helpless. Isn't the backyard of a big family like this? If she only competes in words, it's still good. She's most afraid of those vicious tricks emerging one after another, such as framing, slandering and borrowing a knife to kill someone. Personally, it's not bad, at least for now, it seems that they are just jealous, and they didn't see the stabbing, which has already made Mrs. Yang recite Buddha in her heart.

After the two came in and saluted together, Mrs. Yang felt a little more joy in her heart when she saw the gentle and graceful movements of Xue Zhilan who was only doing homely attire but was still unparalleled in beauty. This look fell in Xu Ranyun's eyes, Naturally, it was not a pleasant feeling, but she knew that in front of her mother-in-law, how much dissatisfaction she had had to be suppressed, so she helped Mrs. Yang to sit down first, and said with a smile: "Madam came to us, but I have something to order? If it is an ordinary matter, tell me The daughter-in-law just said that's all, sister Lan has since entered the door and has given birth to three children. She is still weak, and I usually don't bother her when I have something to do, just to let her rest well."

Mrs. Yang said with a smile: "You're right, I'm very pleased that you have this kind of concern." After speaking, they both sat down, then frowned and said: "You have served Xuan'er for so many years, Really meticulous and thoughtful, I have nothing to say, but these days, are you a little slack?"

Xu Ranyun and Xue Zhilan glanced at each other, not understanding what Madam Yang meant, so they said in unison: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to let go, why does my wife ask this?"

Mrs. Yang sighed: "Since you haven't let up, why don't you even know about the relationship between Xuan'er and Meiyuelou? I didn't know at first, but I only found out about it after he casually said it this morning. "Xuan'er is the breakfast at Meiyuelou, and he was still smiling when he said it."

The news surprised both of them, Xu Ranyun looked at Xue Zhilan, frowned and said, "The master rested at your place last night, don't you know about it?"

Xue Zhilan said helplessly: "Master left before dawn today. No one was alarmed. When I woke up, he was nowhere to be seen. I asked the people, saying that Master ordered me not to wake me up. I went out after washing my face, I just thought he had something to do urgently, how could I have thought that he ran to Meiyuelou?"

Xu Ranyun was about to say more when she heard Mrs. Yang say: "Okay, it's useless to say anything to me, the most important thing is to find a way to win Xuan'er's heart. You understand what kind of temperament that woman is. When she returns to the backyard, I just won't be able to meditate, but you don't know how much trouble you will cause."

The two agreed in unison. Seeing that Mrs. Yang seemed to be in a bad mood, they didn't dare to disturb her, so they said goodbye and went out.

After leaving the door, Xue Zhilan looked at Xu Ranyun and said, "Grandma Yun is always said to be very skilled, but after all these days, how come the people in Meiyuelou are still alive and kicking? I guess you don't have such a compassionate heart, Could it be that you still have some plans in your heart? You should be careful not to shoot yourself in the foot with a stone."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xu Ranyun to reply, he walked away. After entering his own yard, Fang heard the girl beside her say exquisitely: "Grandma has always been gentle. Although she is not quite right with Grandma Yun, she is usually tolerant. Why is she suddenly so mean today? Grandma Yun has the worst temper." Rongren, I don't know how she will be angry."

Xue Zhilan smiled lightly and said: "I did it on purpose. Anyway, she can't tolerate people anymore, and she can't do anything about me. There are so many people in the master's room now. If we keep keeping a low profile, I'm afraid we will be looked down upon by others. It should also show a little more. What's more, what happened this time is strange. I still have contacts with that woman in Meiyuelou. Why? It's not good for me to ask this in front of my father. Exploring the way, Grandma Yun has always been proud, so she probably can't bear this anger, if I try to provoke her now, she will make ready-made stones, and we can wait until she finds out the path for us and see how things develop."

After finishing her words, Linglong was already convinced, and was about to give her thumbs up a few words of heartfelt praise, when the master beside her said with a smile: "Aunt Jing is here, seeing her happy face, I don't know if there are any good poems, Come on, let's go over and ask." Then he greeted him.

Let's talk about Xu Ranyun, after eating Xue Zhilan's words, he was so angry that he went back to his room, and when his confidant girl Fengxian served tea, he tried to persuade him: "Grandma, Grandma Lan has always been docile in front of people. My son, however, went out of his way for some reason and used words to provoke grandma, so grandma should be on guard, so as not to fall into her trap."

Xu Ranyun drank the tea and drank the hot tea soup. Only then did he feel that the anger and irritability calmed down a little. He slammed the teacup on the table and said with a sneer, "Even you can see it. Huh! Think I don't Do you know that she wants me to be the one who throws stones to ask for directions? Ha ha! She is used to pretending to be gentle and kind in front of others, but in fact, if it comes to scheming and viciousness, how many people in this mansion can compare to her? Even I have suffered losses before, even more Don't mention others, if I don't know how to take precautions, I'm afraid I don't know where it's buried now."

Seeing that the master saw it clearly, Feng Xian felt relieved, and smiled, "Grandma Lan has a good idea, but it's a pity that she doesn't fall for such a bright-minded grandma, so what can I do? If she wants to find the way, she can find out by herself." Go, didn't the master rest at her place last night? She can't look down on the master, and now she has the face to get angry at grandma, it's really shameless."

Xu Ranyun's complexion fluctuated, and soon he let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, even if she doesn't irritate me, I will go to Meiyue Tower to have a look."
