The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

Xu Yaoyao was a little surprised. After listening to his story just now, his father was obviously so angry with Xu Rongrong.

But why did the momentum change in the blink of an eye?

He actually asked himself to pick up the gift note that was thrown on the ground for that bitch?

Why!

Seeing that the second daughter didn't move, Xu Chaoqian was a little impatient: "Why are you standing there? Why don't you pick it up and give it to your eldest sister?"

Xu Yaoyao gritted his teeth and controlled his temper.

She put on a frail look, walked over, knelt down, picked up the dropped gift list, and said with a respectful look on her face: "Sister, please take a look."

"Thank you, second sister." Xu Rongrong Shiran took it, ignoring Xu Yaoyao's sickly beauty look.

She read it from beginning to end and found that it was indeed a gift list sent by the Xu family everywhere, so she asked: "This is indeed a New Year's gift arranged by my daughter. Does my father think there is anything wrong?"

"This is nonsense!" Xu Chaoqian frowned, "Why do you want to give Mr. Lu a New Year's gift?"

"Why can't you send it?"

"The eldest sister doesn't know something." Xu Yaoyao said from the side. "A few years ago, my mother was in charge of the central gift. When arranging New Year's gifts for everyone, she told us sisters about the rules of gift-giving in Beijing."

"Among colleagues in the officialdom, giving annual gifts to each other is only between equals. If you give gifts to the top, you will be considered to be deliberately flattering. Mr. Lu is the minister of the Ministry of Industry and his father's immediate boss. The eldest sister is now in charge Zhongfu, my sister shouldn’t question it, but you acted hastily and violated the rules today, and you lost your father’s face.”

While speaking, Xu Yaoyao looked distressed.

Xu Rongrong found it funny: "I am not as good as my second sister. I don't have my wife to teach me how to manage the house."

One sentence made Xu Chaoqian's face a little confused.

Previously when Xu Liu was in charge of the family, some of his colleagues had reminded him that since the eldest daughter had grown hair, she had to learn some housekeeping skills. Otherwise, if she didn't know how to give birth to a middle child after she got married, wouldn't it make people laugh at her parents' family for their incompetent teaching?He briefly mentioned it to Mrs. Xu Liu a few times, but each time he was scolded by Mrs. Xu Liu and ignored it.

Later, he felt that since his daughter was silent, it would be better to have one less thing than one more thing, and never mentioned it again.

Now that Xu Rongrong said this, he quickly interrupted with a guilty conscience.

He patted the table hard to cover up the embarrassment on his face: "Don't talk about that, I just ask you, why don't you discuss with me the New Year's gift to Mr. Lu today!?"

"Father, don't get angry in a hurry." Xu Rongrong handed over the gift list and sneered: "Take a closer look first. Whose name is this gift list in?"

Xu Chaoqian grabbed the gift list, and after looking through it carefully, he discovered that the New Year's gifts in Lu Zhi and Xiao Pingyang's houses did not come from the official residence, but were all sent from Xu Rongrong's private treasury.

"It's from you." Xu Chaoqian looked weird, "For no reason, what kind of New Year's gift did you give them?"

"For no reason?" Xu Rongrong looked at him coldly, "Father, have you forgotten that before the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, if Mr. Lu hadn't sent the royal doctor to treat my daughter, I would have died of illness in the backyard! What's more, my wife sent someone to treat my daughter that day. He poisoned his father. If it hadn't been for the royal doctor's intervention, I'm afraid his father wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to his daughter at this moment. Everything is a favor from Mr. Lu, shouldn't the Xu family express his gratitude? "

Xu Chaoqian's face turned red: "This..."

Xu Rongrong continued: "Father, please don't forget that my daughter is now the lord of Ping'an County personally granted by His Majesty. As the lord of the county, she will give two annual gifts to the courtiers. I also want to know who dares to comment."

"In this way, that's right..." Xu Chaoqian's face softened slightly, and he was about to nod, but was interrupted by another voice:

"The eldest sister said it does make sense. But after all, the things are sent from our house. How can outsiders tell whether it is the county owner's annual gift or the father's annual gift..." Xu Yaoyao naturally couldn't let Xu Rongrong take this lightly. After uncovering it, she glanced at Xu Chaoqian and pointedly said, "In the final analysis, it is the father who will be discussed in the end."

Xu Rongrong sneered: "If I go by what my second sister said, it seems that if I want to protect my father's reputation, I'm afraid I'll have to find another place to live."

"Nonsense! How can you live in another house with a daughter who has not yet left the court?" Xu Chaoqian naturally would not agree to the eldest daughter moving out. His father is still alive, but his daughter wants to find another place. What will others say about him!

What's more, the eldest daughter is still the head of the county, and he will not allow this honor to be neglected elsewhere.

However, even though she is the head of the county, he still has to show off his dignity as the head of the family!So he said: "But what the second sister said makes sense. After all, you can't write two characters of "Xu" in one stroke. Since the New Year's gift is sent from our house, it is inevitable for your father to bear this criticism. You are young and lack experience. In order to avoid such mistakes from happening again, let me ask my second sister to work with you to take charge of the middle feed."

It turned out that after a lot of trouble, he wanted to divide her power.

Xu Rongrong sneered in her heart. She didn't care about the gift from Xu Mansion at first, but she let it go easily.

But she can let it go, but if others want to snatch it away, that's absolutely impossible.

So she narrowed her eyes: "It turns out that the second sister wants to take charge of the family."

Xu Yaoyao seemed a little scared. She glanced at Xu Chaoqian and whispered: "Eldest sister, please don't misunderstand, this is all father's intention..."

"Then I wonder which part the second sister wants to take care of?"

"Judging from what happened today, it seems that the eldest sister is not good at maintaining relationships in the capital. If you can trust your sister, let her do similar things in the future."

My heart is quite big.

Xu Rongrong smiled slightly: "I can trust the second sister, but... I don't know what identity the second sister is going to use to interact with everyone? Is she the daughter of Xu Mansion's successor? Or the county lord's sister?"

Xu Yaoyao: "..."

She looked at Xu Chaoqian "helplessly" and was about to cry.

When the latter saw this, he immediately showed his father's majesty: "Second sister just wants to help you. As an elder sister, why should you use your status to suppress her!"

Xu Rongrong smiled: "Father is so sure that his daughter mishandled Mr. Lu's matter?"

"You are said to be ignorant, but you still don't admit it! Just wait and see, you will make my father the laughing stock of the entire Ministry of Works tomorrow!"

Just when Xu Chaoqian was holding his neck and getting angry at Xu Rongrong, Butler Xu reported back outside the study: "Master, Miss, the return gifts from each government have been sent one after another."

Xu Chaoqian frowned and said, "Let's take them to the front hall first!"

After saying that, he glared at Xu Rongrong and said, "You go back to your yard first. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will make up for it myself. My second sister will go to the front hall with my father."

Hearing this, Xu Yaoyao glanced at Xu Rongrong timidly, and then followed Xu Chaoqian.
