Chapter 312

On the second day, Concubine Toffee came over early in the morning and brought a cart full of things.She smiled and said to Tang Shuyi: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the palace has sent many New Year's gifts. Jing Yi and I didn't use so much. I'll bring you some."

Tang Shuyi supported her arm and entered the house, and said, "It's just right, the house is preparing things for the New Year, which can save a lot of money."

Concubine Toffee smiled even more happily, she knew that Duke Dingguo's mansion was rich, so there was no need to save this little money.But people who can speak, what they say is comfortable to listen to.The whole family sat down, the concubine looked at the small flower hall full of relatives, and felt extremely happy.

Although Jing Yi and Xiao Yuchen's brothers and sisters are not her own grandsons, but after getting along for a long time, they have invested in each other, so what's the difference between them and their relatives?

After sitting together and chatting for a while, Xiao Huai took Xiao Yuchen, Xiao Yuming, and Li Jingyi to the front yard, and it was inconvenient for him to stay longer if men and women were different.The concubine had already met someone, was satisfied, and happily talked to Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuzhu.

Although men and women sit separately at lunch, there is a screen between them, and they can still talk to each other.After lunch, Tang Shuyi arranged a room for the concubine to rest in her yard, and she and Xiao Huai drank tea and chatted in the small flower hall.

After a while, she said: "I'm also a little tired, rest for a while, the Duke can take care of himself."

Xiao Huai stood up with a smile and said, "Thank you Madam."

Tang Shuyi waved his hands, and Xiao Huai stepped into the room where the concubine was resting.After approaching, she saw that the concubine was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.He walked over lightly and sat on the chair beside the bed, looking up at his mother and concubine with the corners of his lips raised.

Nearly 60 years old, the sideburns are already full of white hair.Suddenly he remembered what his mother and concubine had said to him before: Don't stay up late at night, or you will be like your father and king in the future, with not a few hairs left on the top of your head.After the first emperor got older, his hair became thinner and thinner.

At this time, Concubine Tai opened her eyes, and was startled when she saw him sitting beside her bed.Then he looked out in panic and whispered, "Why are you here? Have you been noticed?"

Xiao Huai couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, but his face was serious, "Mother, don't worry, no one will find out."

The concubine knew that he was a prudent person, so she was relieved.She sat up, Xiao Huai reached out and put some soft pillows on her back to make her lean more comfortably, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine."

"I know you're fine." Taifei looked at him and sighed, "I'm worried about Shuyi and the three children."

Xiao Huai: "..."

"You and Shuyi are like this now. If time is short, you can find a reason to fool them. If time is long, what will the three children think? What will others think of Shuyi?" The concubine said with a long sigh, " But you can't get over that hurdle in your heart... Alas!"

The concubine knew that Xiao Huai was in a dilemma. Although he had become Xiao Huai, the core inside was Li Chengyun. He could love Xiao Huai's child as his own, but Xiao Huai's wife could not be her own.

Xiao Huai didn't know how to explain to the concubine for a while. After thinking for a while, he said: "My son is thinking about it these days. Since I have become Xiao Huai, I should treat myself as him. Shuyi and I... these things Times go well."

The concubine was taken aback when she heard his words, and then smiled, "That's very good."

To Concubine Tang Shuyi, she really couldn't fault anything, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with living with a mother of three since her son had never been married before.The fact that the son didn't really die is already a great fortune, and he can no longer be greedy.Moreover, if her son and Tang Shuyi continue to remain indifferent like this, something will happen sooner or later.

First of all, the three children will be dissatisfied, and then Tang Guogong's mansion will also be dissatisfied, and then things will be even more difficult.Therefore, it is the best solution for the son and Tang Shuyi to live in harmony.

The mother and son couldn't talk for too long, so after chatting for a few more words, Xiao Huai left. The concubine looked at his back with a smile on her face. If her son really lived a good life with Tang Shuyi, she would really feel at ease.

Here Xiao Huai walked into the yard, glanced in the direction of Tang Shuyi's bedroom, shook his head with a smile, and left.

The concubine went back after dinner, and when she left, Tang Shuyi returned a cart full of gifts.The concubine did not refuse when she saw it, and the relationship can last for a long time.

On the second day, Tang Shuyi received an invitation from Anyuanhou's mansion. Three days later, Mrs. Anyuanhou's [-]th birthday.Tang Shuyi took a few glances at the invitation, and then said to Cuiyun, "Let housekeeper Zhao find out if Mrs. Yang has received the invitation."

Mrs. Yang is an important part of her plan, but she can't just go there and tell people that what Grand Master Yang did is dangerous and will hurt you and your descendants, so make peace with him.In that case, it will definitely be regarded as a neuropathy.Things have to be done step by step, first of all you have to know what Mrs. Yang thinks of Grand Master Yang and Concubine Yuan.

Steward Zhao has always been very efficient in handling affairs, and found out the result in the afternoon.He passed away in Anyuan and reported to Tang Shuyi. On the way, he met Xiao Huai who also passed away in Anyuan. He immediately saluted, "Master."

Xiao Huai hummed, Zhao Butler thought about it, and told him the result of the investigation.In fact, he is the steward of the outer court. When Xiao Huai is not around, Tang Shuyi is in charge of the Hou Mansion. He obeys Tang Shuyi's orders and reports to Tang Shuyi if there is anything, it's all right.

But now that Xiao Huai is back, he, the steward of the outer courtyard, should first obey Xiao Huai's orders, and report to Xiao Huai first if there is anything to do.That's what Xiao Huai did when he first returned home.But within two days, Xiao Huai told him that it was still the same as before, everything was according to Madam.

So, Housekeeper Zhao knew very well that although the Duke of the State had returned, the Duke of Ding's mansion was still headed by his wife.

After hearing his report, Xiao Huai said, "Let me tell Madam."

Steward Zhao quickly agreed, saluted and retreated.Xiao Huai walked towards Shi'an Garden, entered the courtyard and heard Cuiyun say that Tang Shuyi was in the study, so he went directly into the study.I saw Tang Shuyi standing in front of the table writing, serious and quiet, making people's hearts follow An Ning involuntarily.

Walking over with light steps, the calm and powerful four words came into view: Tranquility and far-reaching.

"Good word." He said involuntarily.

Tang Shuyi was startled by him, a drop of ink dripped on her hand when she raised her head, she let out a sound, put down the pen in her hand, and was about to wipe the ink with a handkerchief.But at this moment, a long and slender hand reached out, gently held her ink-stained hand, and then wiped the ink on her hand little by little with a handkerchief.

Tang Shuyi was stunned by the dry and warm touch.

"It was me who stained Madam's hands with ink, so naturally I should wipe it off for Madam." Xiao Huai said softly.

He lowered his head and wiped with serious concentration, as if he was really just apologizing.But Tang Shuyi's heart was out of control, and she took a few deep breaths silently before barely suppressing her heart that was about to jump out.
