Eunuch's Favor: The ever-changing princess flirts with the governor

Mrs. Xiao quickly winked at Xiao Tu.

Xiaotu received the signal and leaned over, "What's wrong?"

Madam Xiao looked at her with a suspicious look, and whispered, "My daughter, tell me, have you practiced some kind of magic to confuse the soul?"

Xiao Tutou raised a question mark, "No."

Madam Xiao didn't believe it, "How could the Jade King be so bewildered by you without you?"

Xiao Tu was surprised when she heard that. Her mother had seen through this. She had sharp eyes!

She turned her head to look at Ning Cuo. This guy looked like a young master from a wealthy family and he was quite good-looking.

She raised her little hand and whispered to Madam Xiao, "Mom, don't think too much. I didn't use any spells. This is all my personal charm."

Madam Xiao looked at her daughter differently, "Good girl, didn't you realize you are so powerful? You are more powerful than your mother is against your father!"

Xiao Tu looked proud, "It's no big deal."

Ning Cuo, who was drinking tea at the side, raised the corner of his mouth at this moment.

Xiao Lezi wanted to cover her face when watching from the side. Did the mother and daughter think that if they covered their mouths and spoke softly, others wouldn't hear them?

With their family head's martial arts skills, even if he hid a hundred meters away, he wouldn't be able to escape from such a small sound, let alone that it was right in front of him.

The mother and daughter here were unaware and were still chatting in low voices.

"My daughter, you are still the best. Are we still going to accept the return gift from outside the door?"

Xiao Tu didn't understand why she asked that, so she replied as a matter of course, "Of course I accepted it."

Madam Xiao was very pleased. "My dear daughter, your parents love you so much that you know how to bring all the good things home. However, since your son-in-law is so good to you, we can't ask for more. I think we should return half of it."

"No need. Now that we've pulled it back, you and dad can just make do with the flowers."

Mrs. Xiao was speechless. Kid, I’m afraid your father and I will have to grow two more hands to spend so much money.

Madam Xiao no longer paid attention to her daughter, but looked at her son-in-law with a smile on her face, "My Lord?"

Ning Cuo slowly raised his eyes, a half smile on his lips, "Mother-in-law."

Madam Xiao smiled and said, "That's right, the return gift from outside is really expensive, and mother-in-law thinks half of it is very good, you can take half back later."

Ning Cuo smiled lightly, "No need, these gifts are my heartfelt gifts."

Xiao Tu munched on the sweet cake and nodded in agreement, "Yes, mother, the prince has said so, you should accept it."

Madam Xiao still shook her head, "No, half of it is enough. His father and I won't need any more."

Xiao Tu didn't care. "If you don't need it, give it to your two brothers. They are old enough to get married anyway."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Xiao and Young Master Xiao became excited. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have raised their fingers and shouted that their sister said it well.

Madam Xiao couldn't help but patted her on the back of the head, "Child, what do you mean by brother getting married? Even if brother gets married, we can't empty the prince's house!"

Xiao Tu was surprised, "What do you mean the house was emptied?"

Mrs. Xiao was a little embarrassed, she accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

It's also her daughter's fault. She doesn't know anything. Five hundred thousand taels is probably all the assets of the entire Jade Prince Mansion.

Xiao Tu became extremely nervous, and looked at Ning Cuo without even eating his snacks, "Is there no money at home?"

Ning Cuo raised the corner of his lips and smiled, "No, I have plenty of money."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tu immediately gave him the sweetest and most touching smile she had ever given him, "Husband, you are so domineering, I like you so much!" After saying that, she pounced on him.

Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Lezi both felt goosebumps all over their bodies, feeling so embarrassed.

Only men accept it well, and even smile more deeply!

The sun is at its zenith in the sky; it's time for lunch.

"Duck blood stew, Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried lamb, spicy and sour tripe, emerald shrimp, sweet and sour pork ribs, crab meat, West Lake vinegar fish, crispy pork, mapo tofu, braised meat with bamboo shoots..." More than twenty dishes filled the large mahogany table.

Xiao Tu took her seat early, staring at each dish with sparkling eyes. Although they were not as luxurious as the shark fins and bear paws in the palace, they looked delicious and as a foodie, she could not refuse them at all.

Madam Xiao looked doting, "These are all your favorite foods, hurry up and eat."

Xiao Tu quickly picked up the chopsticks and was the first to pick up a shrimp and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm," fresh and tender, smooth and tasty, delicious.

The crispy outer layer of the pork is crispy and delicious, and the filling inside is fat but not greasy, very tasty.

Kung Pao Chicken is brightly colored, with white diced chicken and red chili oil, making it more refreshing and delicious.

She was eating happily while Ning Cuo curled his lips and picked up some food for her with his chopsticks from time to time.

Seeing their daughter's good appetite and their son-in-law being so considerate, Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao were all beaming with joy.

They are now relieved.

At this moment, Mr. Xiao picked up the wine pot, poured a cup for his son-in-law himself, and said with a loud smile, "My dear son-in-law, shall we have a drink?"

Ning Cuo chuckled and picked up the wine glass, "Father-in-law, please."

Master Xiao smiled and drank it in one gulp, then started chatting, "My dear son-in-law has been in the court for a long time, have you heard about the Lianghuai salt transport?"

Ning Cuo held the wine glass tightly and smiled slightly, "Father-in-law is interested in salt transportation?"

Master Xiao smiled and shook his head, "I dare not say I am interested, but Brothers Xiaotu, Xiaohu and Xiaobao are all old now, and they don't have any serious work to do. I heard some rumors earlier that the salt transportation in Lianghuai has been contracted from the government to merchants, and many merchants in Lianghuai have made a fortune from this. That's why I am interested, so I want to ask my son-in-law about it."

Xiao Lezi was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Master Xiao would ask about this.

It is said that the Jianghuai salt merchants have made a fortune, but in fact, the Lianghuai salt transportation in Dazhao is already rotten. Salt is a big money-making business, but the Jianghuai officials are greedy. In order to curb this corruption, the court privatized the salt transportation, but the Jianghuai officials did not know how to restrain themselves. Relying on the importance of the salt transportation, the court actually interfered and raised the price of salt. The official salt price increased, and the merchants sold private salt for profit, which eventually led to the misery of the Huaibei area and chaos!

Ning Cuo turned the wine glass between his fingers, smiling, "The private trading relationship of Lianghuai Salt Transport is complicated and involves a wide range of people. I do not recommend that my father-in-law let my two brothers-in-law go."

Master Xiao nodded when he heard this, but did not ask any further questions. Since the prince said this, there must be something wrong, and he was just asking.

Ning Cuo smiled and said, "My father-in-law wants to find something for my two brothers-in-law to do. Maybe I can help!"

Master Xiao's eyes lit up, and the eldest son Xiao Hu and the second son Xiao Bao also hurried over to look.

Ning Cuo met the gazes of the three people and smiled slightly, "I wonder if my father-in-law and my two brothers-in-law have any requests?"

"What do you mean, my dear son-in-law?"

"My son-in-law has some connections in the court. He can choose his father-in-law from any of the six ministries in the court."
