Quick Wear: After the charming host got pregnant, the boss spoiled her like crazy

Chapter 51: Sickly and Heirless Prince x Wife of the Wedding Ceremony 25

Fu Shou Tang.

Shen Nian and Chun Tao arrived when the old princess woke up from her nap.

Nanny Xiao led them to the main hall where guests were received.

"Princess, please wait here for a moment. The old princess will come over when she is done packing."

After Xiao Ma Ma ordered the servants to serve tea to Shen Nian, she bowed and left. Before leaving the hall, Xiao Ma Ma gave an ambiguous look to the little maid who was waiting behind Shen Nian.

The little maidservant received Madam Xiao's gaze and nodded imperceptibly.

"Princess, let me pour you some tea."

The little maid standing behind Shen Nian stepped forward and took the teapot from Chuntao's hand.

The little maid put her hand on Chuntao's hand holding the teapot, and used a little force to snatch the teapot from Chuntao's hand.

"Sister Chuntao has worked hard in serving the Crown Prince's wife. I will let this servant do the small matter of pouring tea for you."

Sister? How come she doesn't know she has a younger sister?

"No need. The Crown Princess is more accustomed to my service. She would not be used to it if someone else did."

As she spoke she even winked at Shen Nian.

"Are you right? Princess?"

Her hint was so obvious that her intelligent consort must have understood it at a glance.

Unexpectedly, her intelligent princess became interested in the purpose of this little maid and ruthlessly abandoned poor Xiao Taotao.

"Chun Tao asked her to come."

Shen Nian calmly put an end to their argument.

"Crown Princess..."

Chuntao called out to Shen Nian unwillingly, her lips pouted so much that an oil bottle could be hung on them.

"Sister Chuntao, please make way."

The little maid pushed Chuntao away with her butt, and stood in the place closest to Shen Nian instead of Chuntao, pouring tea for Shen Nian.

Shen Nian watched her hands' movements and praised with a smile.

"You're a clever one, what's your name?"

"I am a dull servant, and it is my blessing to be praised by the Crown Prince's wife."

She first praised Shen Nian for her cleverness, thanked her and flattered her, and then answered her questions after setting snacks for Shen Nian.

"My name is Green Branch."

Green Branch? Chun Tao spat at her in her heart. In her opinion, Green Branch should not be called Green Branch anymore. She should just change her name to Green Tea, as this name suits her better.

At this moment, Shen Nian and his little Taotao had the same idea.

This person also squeezed, the tea was poured, and the snacks were placed. Shen Nian glanced at Luzhi who was standing beside him. He was very curious why she didn't leave yet. He wondered if she wanted to put on another big show.

"Princess, let me add some tea for you."

Shen Nian put the teacup in his hand on the table, and while Luzhi was pouring tea for her, he glanced at Chuntao.

"Why hasn't the old princess Xiao Taotao come yet? I'm already drinking my fourth cup of tea. If I drink any more, I won't be able to hold on any longer."

"Xiao Taotao is very angry and doesn't want to answer your task questions now."

Xiao Taotao turned around extremely coldly and nimbly avoided Shen Nian's glare.

Shen Nian's eyes, which had been smiling all the time, became completely gloomy. Old Princess Ye called her over but deliberately left her alone for so long, and assigned a maid to do nothing but keep pouring tea for her.

Did he really think that Shen Nian was a mutton roll, someone she could fool around with?

"I guess the old princess has not been here for so long that she has no time to see me. In that case, I will go back first and come to visit her again tomorrow."

Shen Nian stood up and stretched, her sleeves rising and falling as she moved. In an instant, the teacup on the table was thrown by her onto the edge of Luzhi's skirt.

Luzhi seemed to be frightened by her sudden movement and took a step back very quickly, her movements were swift and smooth.

Even the water droplets splashing from the cup didn't even touch the edge of her skirt.

Seeing this, Shen Nian and his servant looked at each other quickly.

This Green Branch actually knows martial arts.

Luzhi took a big step back before she realized that she had been exposed.

She acted decisively and used her left foot to trip over her right foot, and she fell to the ground with a scream.

"Princess, what did I do wrong? Why are you scaring me like this?"

There were tears in Luzhi's eyes, she looked so pitiful.

Stop pretending, it's really too fake. Shen Nian felt embarrassed for Lu Zhi.

"Miss Luzhi is too timid. This won't do. The old princess is old and she probably can't stand having a maid who likes to be startled."

Chun Tao took the opportunity to stab Lu Zhi. It was because she had teased her just now. Chun Tao was very vindictive.

Shen Nian gave Chuntao a thumbs up in appreciation. Little Taotao is really great.

"Chun Tao, let's go."

Shen Nian was about to take Chuntao away, but their way was blocked by a green branch that suddenly jumped up from the ground.

Luzhi opened her arms and stood in front of them. There was no trace of pity on her face. She stared at Shen Nian without any hesitation.

"Don't you wonder why the old princess came to see you today?"

Meeting her gaze, Shen Nian smiled.

"What a coincidence. I have never been very curious since I was a child. I have no interest in why the old princess came to see me."

Her words flowed slowly, but they were like finely woven sharp blades, piercing sharply into Luzhi's heart and making her panic.

Shen Nian's impatience fully made Luzhi realize that Shen Nian might not be attracted by her gentle persuasion at all.

If you want to achieve your goal, the best way is to tell Shen Nian the truth and not to beat around the bush.

"Miss Luzhi, our prince's wife's time is precious. If you have nothing to do, please let me out as soon as possible."

Chuntao saw the hesitation on her face and gave her another strong dose of medicine.

Shen Nian also cooperated with her very well. He moved his body to avoid Lvzhi's outstretched arms and walked out.

But before Shen Nian could avoid her, there was a "thump" and Luzhi had already knelt down in front of Shen Nian.

"Second Miss, please wait until I finish speaking before you leave."

Second Miss? Shen Nian and her servant's eyes widened uncontrollably. Second Miss was what others called Shen Nian before she got married.

Logically speaking, only the Shen family can call her like this now, but isn’t the kneeling Luzhi in front of her the old princess’ maid?

"My true identity is the personal maid of Shen Ning, the former fifth lady of the Shen family."

She paused as if considering that Shen Nian might not be able to figure out who Shen Ning was for the time being, so she added one more sentence.

"My daughter is the youngest sister of the master, and your aunt."

Aunt? How come Shen Nian didn't know that her original body had an aunt?

Shen Nian raised his eyes to glance at Chuntao, and seeing that her eyes were even wider than his, he immediately understood that Chuntao also didn't know who this so-called former fifth daughter of the Shen family was.

"My young lady went to the battlefield as soon as she reached adulthood. It's normal that the second young lady didn't hear my young lady's name."

What? A girl from the boudoir actually went to the battlefield.

"Where is your lady now?"

Hearing this, Luzhi's calm eyes filled with crystal tears. Her chest rose and fell violently for a few times before she answered with a choked voice.

"In the fourth year of Jingli, our army was defeated in the battle with the Xiongnu. In order to cover the departure of the prince of Ye and others, the young lady guarded the city alone. The city gate was breached by the Xiongnu, and the young lady died with the people in the city."

Died for the city! Shen Nian shuddered all over, and felt deep respect for her aunt whom she had never met.

Her aunt died for her country and was a righteous person. But what was the purpose of her aunt's maid coming to her three years after her death?
