I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Finally, I got Mrs. Cui's permission and took Cui's carriage back home. The old servant opened the door and welcomed her and Xingxuan in. He wanted to go into the main room to report, but Luo Qianhuai stopped him.

From the yard, the lights in the main room were much brighter than usual. Apparently Caiwei lit a few more candles to celebrate Jingyuan's escape.

Before Luo Qianhuai reached the door, he heard the words coming from inside:

"Ah, grandma, you should try it too. These dishes and snacks are so delicious. Qin'er has never eaten such delicious food. By the way, do you want to leave some for sister? She owns everything. I bought it, but we didn't wait for her to use it together, isn't it bad?" Ah Qin's voice was clear and crisp.

"Your sister has been invited by the Cui family, so she will definitely have to eat." Caiwei said with a smile, "Aqin is really a polite little lady."

Jing Yuan's voice also rang out: "The food in Yaoxing Tower is indeed delicious, even the imperial chef in the palace may not be able to make it well. But there is one drawback, it is too expensive."

"This is actually what I am worried about." Caiwei sighed: "Yinyin has been growing up outside. I have never raised her for a day. She refuses to call me mother, so I can't blame her."

"I also know that she previously showed up outside to help people see doctors and received a lot of medical fees. Logically speaking, these money have nothing to do with me, but she should also know how to be frugal and not spend it so lavishly."

Seeing that Jingyuan was silent and did not answer, Caiwei softened her tone and continued: "I have never been to a place like Zixing Tower. I have only heard that you can get one or two thousand yuan for any dish there. You have also seen the six dishes tonight at two o'clock. They are all delicacies from land and sea, and they may cost tens of thousands of dollars."

When Jing Yuan heard this, he finally spoke: "Yin Yin is also very filial..."

"I understand, and I don't mean to blame Yin Yin. I'm just worried that she doesn't know how to run a house and will suffer a big loss in the future." She raised her eyes and looked at Jing Yuan, and then said: "What's more, my husband, you can escape the disaster." , it’s time to work hard. If you are dragged down by your family at this time, wouldn’t it be unfair? "

Jing Yuan raised his head and looked at her: "What should I say?"

"How much salary does your husband have per year? How can you afford the Yaoxing Tower? If Yinyin goes there a few more times and is recognized by others, she might think that you, husband, are greedy for money. By then, even if you are righteous, But how can we stop others from talking?"

"Madam, what you said is right." Jing Yuan nodded and said, "When Yinyin comes back, I will teach her a lesson. She is still young, but as long as she knows how powerful it is, she will never do it again."

His words were far from what Caiwei wanted to achieve.

"Husband, I was thinking that since Yinyin has returned home for a long time, why not let her leave all her money and silk to me to take care of. I have no other intention, I just want to teach her how to manage the household before she gets married, and by the way... Wouldn't it be better to buy some land than to let her spend it randomly?"

"You are so thoughtful." Jing Yuan was very sad: "Her mother passed away early, and it is rare that you are willing to treat her like this. I will tell Yinyin when she comes back, and she will definitely shed tears of gratitude..."

The halfway couple sang together, and Xingxuan felt annoyed, but Luo Qianhuai smiled calmly and opened the door directly.

"Yinyin, are you back?" Caiwei was stunned for a moment, then came over with a smile: "Why are you coming back so late, but have you eaten at Cui Mansion?"

Xingxuan rushed to answer: "The eldest lady was worried that my master would be safe today, so she specially declined Mrs. Cui's banquet and rushed back. Now she is still hungry!"

Caiwei's face changed slightly, and before she could say anything, Ah Qin jumped over and said, "Sister, sit down quickly. Ah Qin only tasted one piece of each of these snacks and was reluctant to eat them. She has to wait. Sister, come together!"

Lu'er hurriedly went to get new dishes and asked Luo Qianhuai to take a seat.

Luo Qianhuai didn't say a word about what he just heard. He just looked at Jing Yuan and said, "Congratulations to Aweng for your safe return."

"Yes." Jing Yuan said with emotion: "Who would have thought that Zhang Shiyuan would take over the whole thing by himself?"

As he spoke, he said to Luo Qianhuai: "Yin Yin, I don't know where you went to find a way last night. Although you didn't use it, you still had to go over and thank me for your face." Love."

Jing Yuan just thought it was Zhang Shiyuan who suddenly realized his conscience and couldn't bear to drag him into the water. He didn't think it was Luo Qianhuai who was behind it.

Of course, with what Luo Qianhuai said so conclusively yesterday, he also believed that she must have begged someone. As for who it was, although he couldn't tell clearly in his mouth, it was like a mirror in his heart.

The news that Luo Qianhuai had rescued Marquis Feng'an had spread in Xijing, and many people congratulated him today, including several ministers who had never looked at him directly before. Everyone can see that as long as His Majesty sits on the throne for a day, Feng'an Hou, as the only male in his mother's family, will become prominent. With his relationship, the future will be boundless. Who doesn't envy him for finding him? Got such a good girl?

Luo Qianhuai curled his lips secretly. She didn't expect that her scumbag father would be so scumbag. He just escaped a disaster and refused to admit it.

"Did Aweng forget the promise he made to his daughter last night?" she reminded: "I helped Aweng to be safe and sound, and Aweng allowed me to marry independently. Today Aweng has escaped from the catastrophe, but he denies that it is his daughter's fault. Could it be that you want to regret it?"

Jing Yuan didn't expect that Luo Qianhuai would talk to him like this.

"Yin Yin, don't make trouble." He frowned: "Aweng can escape today, it is indeed not because of your intervention. As for the freedom of marriage, it has never been seen in ancient times. Last night was just a random decision in a hurry. That’s all, it can’t be taken seriously at all.”

Luo Qianhuai felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart. Mr. Mo's words during the day were replayed repeatedly in her mind at this moment. His sense of certainty that everything was under control seemed to have predicted Jing Yuan's attitude.

"Is it possible that to this day, Aweng is still thinking of pushing Yinyin out and making her his concubine?" she said coldly.

Caiwei looked at Jing Yuan, who had a stern look on his face, and then at Luo Qianhuai, who had a cold face, and added with a smile: "Yin Yin, how can I talk to you like this, and why don't you apologize quickly?" ?”

"Ms. Wei." Luo Qianhuai has not settled the accounts with her. Now that someone is coming to her door, she will naturally not let it go easily:

"Since you know that you are not my biological mother, and there are many things that you can't do by yourself, then don't be too lenient - you don't need to worry about my dowry, just like you don't need to worry about my marriage."

Caiwei was choked by such a straightforward sentence. In her past career in the palace, she had met many noble people. Who was not friendly on the outside but showing off their talents behind the scenes? But this is the first time I have seen my stepdaughter be so straightforward.

Because of this, she couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so she could only look at Jing Yuan helplessly.
