The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Perhaps thinking of Xie Lang at this moment, Xue Mingyue suddenly remembered that there was still Princess Cen living in Zhuangzi.

She was so busy during this period that she forgot about people for a while.

In addition, there is an outsider (Lu Fang) here, so Xue Mingyue can't run to other courtyards every now and then. After all, she is only Dr. Cao's disciple now, so of course she can't run to the master's backyard.

I didn't think about it and could still shirk it because I forgot.

Now that I think about it, it would be really rude if I still remained indifferent.

After Xue Mingyue left the main courtyard, she went straight to the small courtyard. The protection here was even stricter than outside. The news that she had come to pay her respects was quickly handed in by the guards.

Not long after, Grandma Wang came out in person.

She waved the guard to let him go and saluted: "Madam, please come this way. Why are you free to come here today?"

Xue Mingyue blinked slightly guiltily.

With no expression on his face, he smiled calmly and said, "I'm almost busy with everything I should be doing. I just remembered that I haven't seen my grandma for a long time, so I wanted to come and say hello to her. Is her health feeling better?"

What she said seemed unreasonable and strong.

There was no hint of guilt at all. Grandma Wang's mouth twitched slightly, but she couldn't help but said after hearing her question: "To answer Madam's question, the old princess has recovered better and better recently, and her appetite has also improved."

There was a hint of relief in his tone.

Old people usually suffer from loss of appetite, and the old princess has obviously eaten less and less over the years.

Seeing this, Grandma Wang was anxious in her heart, so she could only find a way to ask the small kitchen to cook more of the old princess's favorite foods, but it didn't have any effect, but now she can take the initiative to mention eating more.

Although the remaining poison in the body has not been cleared away, it is obviously getting better.

Grandma Wang now feels windy when she walks.

Xue Mingyue naturally noticed the changes in her, and immediately understood that Princess Cen's health was gradually getting better, and she seemed to be in a good mood, so she probably wouldn't care about her absence for many days.

Then Xue Mingyue's footsteps became brisk.

As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Princess Cen making tea in a pavilion built next to a small pond.

Xue Mingyue stepped forward and saluted, and asked Liu Yun to hand over the prepared things: "Grandma, this is an anti-frostbite ointment that my teacher and I made recently. It can be applied to the face and hands. I brought it to Grandma specially. "

Princess Cen hummed and motioned to Grandma Wang to take the things over.

He raised his eyes and looked at the well-behaved person again, raised his chin, and chuckled: "Sit down, why are you here now?"

Xue Mingyue said what she had just said again, emphasizing that she had waited until she had made something before she came here to offer the treasure. She did not think of her just now, but she suddenly paused when she sat down.

The pavilion was filled with stone tables and benches. In such a cold weather, the stone bench she sat on actually brought some warmth.

A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered up the emotion.

Lowering his head, he was surprised to find that a cup of hot tea was already placed in front of him, with dense white air swirling in the air.

Could it be that Princess Cen was entertaining guests just now?

Xue Mingyue raised her eyes slightly and didn't say much about it. She just asked with a smile: "Is it going well for grandma during this time? If there is anything dissatisfied, please send someone to tell me."

At this point, he complained again: "Since grandpa fell ill, there has been a mess everywhere in Zhuangzi. I hope grandma won't pay attention."

"Nothing untoward."

Princess Cen shook her head, picked up the hot tea and took a sip.

Looking at her sincere look, I just felt funny in my heart and said: "This is indeed a good place to recuperate, but I want to stay longer, and I wonder if it will disturb the old gentleman?"

There was a trace of surprise in Xue Mingyue's eyes.

Then he nodded quickly: "Of course not. Even if grandma doesn't tell me, I still want grandma to spend the winter in Zhuangzi before returning to Beijing. The weather is so cold and bumping back and forth is not good for the body."

Especially with the chaos in the capital now, she didn't dare to let Princess Cen go back.

It took a lot of effort to pull the person back from the critical moment of life and death.

It's not just to let people go back and be framed again, not to mention what Xie Lang will do here is far more involved than what he did in his previous life. Xue Mingyue has to guard against what the Second Prince's Party can do in private.

Thinking of this, the expression on Xue Mingyue's face became somewhat solemn.

"Grandma, just stay at Zhuangzi with peace of mind. If there is a shortage of things, you can just ask the servants in the house to buy them. I will definitely not make grandma's life worse than when she was in the Marquis Mansion."

Princess Cen paused slightly and could feel the sincerity in her words.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

You could say that this girl has a heart, and she does, but not much. You could say that she doesn't have a heart. Although she is sincere in her words, she still knows that she is hiding something from others.

In the past, she was always worried that this girl would not be able to take care of the internal and external affairs of Dingyuan Hou Mansion. Now she saw that her mind and skills were gradually maturing, but her heart was not here anymore.

"The old gentleman told me a few days ago that he intended for you to reconcile with Jinglan. I wonder what you think?"

The pair of eyes full of weathered vicissitudes looked at her steadily.

Xue Mingyue was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

She was silent for a moment, the corners of her lips pursed slightly, and she didn't know where to start. She simply said: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Princess Cen's eyes unconsciously paused for a few seconds on the rockery behind her.

"What's the truth, what's a lie?"

"The truth is that I am willing to reconcile with Mr. Hou from the bottom of my heart. The lie is that I listen to grandpa in everything and whatever he says will be whatever he says." Xue Mingyue smiled at her and said without hesitation.

"..."

There is no difference at all between the two.

Princess Cen couldn't help but fell silent. To be able to say such words in front of her, it seemed that her idea of ​​​​reconciliation was indeed very firm.

Princess Cen said again: "What if I don't agree? Is there still room for change?"

Xue Mingyue looked at her quietly, with no stubborn emotions in her clear eyes, but anyone who knew her well would see from her calm surface that her thoughts would not change.

After a moment, he asked: "Grandma should already know the truth about the banquet frame-up, right?"

Instead of responding directly to her question, he threw the answer back into the opponent's hands.

Sure enough, Princess Cen was immediately speechless.

The pavilion fell into silence for an instant.

Xue Mingyue didn't want to use this incident to embarrass the old princess, but just wanted to tell her that there were many things that stood between Xie Lang and her, and Bai Zhenzhen, who drugged and framed her, was the most superficial reason.

Behind Bai Zhenzhen is the old Dingyuan Army.

Xie Lang punished the Bai family, but he had to consider what other people thought. Those old subordinates would naturally be unhappy with her and just think that it was all her fault. Xue Mingyue understood this very well.

Another question is, why has this matter not been discovered?

Xue Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

It’s hard to trust again.

The trust between her and Xie Lang has long been shaky.
