C100 (2/2)
Hearing that, Su Zhi looked annoyed. Aunt Liu also became angry, ”You're just spouting nonsense. Don't you know where Mistress Su comes from? How dare you neglect the savior of our old master's life?”
The wet nurse didn't buy it, and kicked the candy off into the distance with a sniff. ”The old mistress said that the two young masters' identities were too precious, so you can't eat random things. ”Besides, the child is still young and eats candy and bad teeth. What's there to be worried about?”
Aunt Liu was about to lose her temper, but Su Zhi quickly held her down and explained, ”I made that candy myself. I added some juice and a little sugar to it with cow colostrum. I have my own children to eat, and they won't break their teeth. ”
The wet nurse snorted and left without a word with the two children.
Auntie Liu said with a guilty conscience, ”Little Su, don't mind her. This wet nurse is such a naughty person. A small person coming out for his own milk and water, seems like he really thinks of himself as a master. ” She whispered into Su Zhi's ear, ”This blind girl is delusional in trying to seduce my nephew. It's a pity that no one in the Liu Family thinks highly of her.”
Before she could say anything, Aunt Liu said, ”My nephew is also on the side this year. Previously, when I loved my wife and couldn't bear to take in a concubine, the child was finally reborn, but my nephew's wife is gone. ”It's been three or four years, and you still haven't gotten married yet. Even if you have two concubines, you still wouldn't go that far.”
”That means that Lord Liu is righteous and loyal. Ordinary people have a lot of old and new love. As the saying goes, promoting an official to wealth and losing a wife is a great thing in life. Which man doesn't have a house full of women?
Speaking of this matter, Su Zhi rather admired Liu Yuan. With his status, he couldn't find anything, but on account of his wife and children, he refused to continue. This kind of insistence was rare among men.
”Yesterday, my sister-in-law even sighed and said that she wanted to find a good girl for him. However, there were so many girls that had yet to leave the pavilion in the capital, not a single one of them were worthy of her attention.”
Auntie Liu could not help but shake her head. When she thought of Liu Yuan's dead wife, she couldn't wrap her head around it either.
Logically speaking, her daughter-in-law looked ordinary, but her appearance wasn't set. It was just that she was sensible and considerate, so why was her nephew unwilling to marry again?
Hearing this, Su Zhi smiled faintly. ”It's not that I don't want to marry, but I can't find someone I like. I'm also afraid that my stepmother would be unkind to her child and owe her a wife who died in the underworld.”
”Presumably, that's the theory as well.” Auntie Liu nodded her head in agreement.
The two of them chatted non-stop as the guests arrived one after another and the banquet officially began.
Not long after, another commotion sounded from the courtyard. The crowd looked over and saw that it was Princess Anyang, who had arrived late.
Seeing that she had come, Su Zhi was also unsatisfied. On the other hand, An Yang had specially picked a seat beside Su Zhi.
She just ignored Su Zhi, just like she did with Auntie Liu and the rest of her family.
Only when the banquet was in full swing did he lean his body to Su Zhi's ear and say, ”Wait for me at the back after you've eaten your meal. There's something you want to say.”
Su Zhi did not say anything. She just held onto her food, holding it in her hands.
This meal was a bit unpleasant. Anyang deliberately got along with her, intentionally or unintentionally talking about the business interests that had disturbed the market recently and had been suppressed by the emperor's order.
Su Zhi felt that she had lost her appetite. She really did not like An Yang's rebellious attitude. After reluctantly eating a few bites, she declined, saying that she was going to leave if she was tired.
Seeing that she had finally left, An Yang put down his chopsticks and left without even looking back.
She rushed forward to catch up with Su Zhi, who was about to leave the courtyard. She grabbed her and questioned her, ”This princess has instructed you to wait, but you actually dared to disobey my orders!”
Su Zhi flung her hands away in annoyance and replied, ”Princess, what can I do for you?”
An Yang smiled in an exaggerated manner and admitted in a very generous manner, ”I was the one who did the thing in your shop.”
”Yes, I know.”
An Yang looked at her in disdain and continued to provoke her, ”Not only you know, even big brother Xiao knows, but he just doesn't have any reaction. Do you know why? Because he won't be embarrassed by you and me. ”
Su Zhi shrugged her shoulders. She truly felt that there was no need to continue the conversation. Since An Yang didn't want her to leave, it was obvious that he wanted to put up a show of his might for her.
”This princess has made it clear that you, a widow, should know your place. You are not worthy of Brother Xiao at all, so don't be so despicable and stick close to him. If you can't enter the Xiao family's gate, you will cry bitterly. You should also know that this princess has a bad temper. If any unscrupulous person were to provoke me, I would think of any method. Even if your business is going to fail, you should still be worried about those two evildoers, right? ”
Hearing this, Su Zhi was completely enraged, and said with a gloomy face, ”It's not up to you whether I'm worthy of him or not! ”Anyang, let me give you a word of advice. Don't touch my bottom line.”
An Yang was fearless. When he saw her angry smile deepen, he said, ”What does this matter to you? It would be easy for even a lowly servant to die with a casual staff, not to mention those wild flowers and weeds by the side of the road.”
Su Zhi looked at her seriously and questioned, ”Princess An Yang, it was in vain for you to be a blood relative of the royal family. Don't you know the same thing? ”The Son of Heaven has violated the law and committed the same crime as the commoners.”
”Same crime?” This princess is the daughter of Zhennan Wang, the direct granddaughter of the empress dowager. If I want to teach this lowly slave a lesson, do I need you to do so? ”Are you going to sue me at the justice courts or report me to the procurator's office? Go to the yamen and report your grievances. Let's see who will care about a country woman like you.”
