Chapter 143 Thick-skinned Tang Peipei
Chapter 143 Thick-skinned Tang Peipei
Tang Peipei thought about it for a while and didn't want to think about it anymore. Let's talk about the future later.
After all, it is impossible to kill things that haven't happened yet, so just let nature take its course.
Tang Peipei asked Xia Shuang to go out and watch over it while he looked through the account books.
When you are working hard, time always passes quickly.
When Tang Peipei finished reading the third account book, Xia Shuang reported from outside: "Madam, the general has returned home."
Tang Peipei put away the account book and went out.
Together with Xia Shuang, I went to Qin Garden, which is also the main courtyard where Tang Peipei and Mu Jintang rested.
When Tang Peipei arrived, Mu Jintang had already entered the bathroom.
She had no choice but to find a place in the room and sit and wait.
Mu Jintang didn't take as long to bathe as Tang Peipei, and came out in just a cup of tea.
Seeing Tang Peipei waiting in the room, she smiled and waved to the maids in the room, asking them to leave.
Then he looked at Tang Peipei and said, "I heard that mother asked us to have dinner at the Princess's Mansion?"
Tang Peipei walked over to him, took the handkerchief from his hand, asked Mu Jintang to sit down, and helped him gently wipe his hair.
While answering: "Well, I'm waiting for you to come back."
After a pause, he asked again, "How are things going in the palace?"
"I have reported everything to the Emperor. The Emperor has asked the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation into our assassination attempt on the road."
"What about the Fifth Prince being poisoned?"
Mu Jintang took Tang Peipei's hand that was wiping his hair and said, "I asked the emperor to send a letter to Butterfly Valley."
Tang Peipei felt that Mu Jintang was right. After all, a place like that could not be offended.
Mu Jintang continued, "Peipei, I want to trouble you with one more thing."
Tang Peipei smiled at Mu Jintang and said, "Why should we be so polite? If there is anything I can do, just tell me."
Hearing Tang Peipei's words, Mu Jintang felt very happy and the smile on her face deepened.
"I would like to ask you to study the poison of the zinnia so that we can prepare for both scenarios. In fact, I am worried that the zinnia belongs to Butterfly Valley. Those people who got the poison may have established a connection with Butterfly Valley. If the people of Butterfly Valley are unwilling or try to play tricks, we won't be too passive."
Tang Peipei nodded. In fact, she had this concern before, so she agreed immediately.
After they packed up, they went to the Princess's Mansion.
This time, since it was the princess who took the initiative to invite them, they were naturally not turned away again.
The servants brought them all the way to the courtyard of Princess Qinghe.
Mu Jintang took Tang Peipei's hand and walked straight in.
Princess Qinghe is feeding fruit to little Tuanzi.
Seeing the two people coming, Princess Qinghe pretended not to see them.
Tang Peipei felt helpless when she saw the childlike appearance of Princess Qinghe.
They both knelt down and kowtowed to Princess Qinghe, saying, "Son (daughter-in-law) greets mother!"
Princess Qinghe then looked at them and said unhappily, "Everyone, get up."
After the two stood up.
Princess Qinghe said angrily: "Some people don't even take an old woman like me seriously. They just leave without saying goodbye."
Tang Peipei and Mu Jintang looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Tang Peipei, the culprit who angered people, had to stand up.
She just walked forward with a smile and squatted down beside Princess Qinghe.
Nanny Yuan tactfully took the little girl aside.
Tang Peipei pulled Princess Qinghe's sleeve and said with a pitiful look, "Mother, please don't be angry. It's my daughter-in-law's fault. I should have discussed it with you."
Princess Qinghe glanced at her sideways, without wavering, and without even looking at her, she said, "Then why don't you discuss this with me?"
Tang Peipei put herself under the gaze of Princess Qinghe and said, "At that time, I was also worried about my husband's safety. I also knew that my mother would be worried about me and would definitely not agree to my going. I didn't want to disobey my mother in person, so I had to do it first and ask for permission later."
He said this with an aggrieved look on his face.
Seeing her like this, Princess Qinghe poked her forehead forcefully and said, "You still know that I would be worried? And you said it so naturally? Do you know that if you leave, I will not only have to worry about Jintang, but also about you?"
Tang Peipei rubbed the poked area with her hand and smiled foolishly. "I know, I apologized and promised to listen to you in everything in the future. I will never do it again. Don't be angry, mother. Besides, you see, we are all back. I must have been sure before I went to Qianzhou. You have to believe me."
Princess Qinghe shook her head helplessly and said to Tang Peipei, "Get up quickly. How can you look like a mistress of the house like this? You are making fun of yourself."
Tang Peipei knew that Princess Qinghe was no longer angry and was giving herself a way out.
Of course, she followed suit, and at the end she even said coquettishly: "My daughter-in-law knows that my mother loves me."
Hearing her shameless words, Princess Qinghe couldn't help but say, "Look at this shameless girl, she doesn't even feel embarrassed."
However, the smile on Princess Qinghe's face betrayed her current mood.
Mu Jintang was very happy to see that her beloved and her mother got along so well.
I also laughed and said, "That's because her mother is tolerant of her."
Seeing that the time was almost up, he asked someone to serve the meal.
This was also the first time the couple got together and had their first meal after their marriage.
With the little dumpling making noise from time to time, the family is having a lot of fun.
After dinner, Tang Peipei thought that she hadn’t hugged her little girl for a long time, so she and Nanny Yuan took the little girl to the garden.
It can also help digestion.
Princess Qinghe wanted to know some things about Mu Jintang's trip to Qianzhou, so the two of them stayed and had tea served.
When Nanny Yuan saw Tang Peipei, she wanted to speak, but she didn't know how.
He followed Tang Peipei in this indecisive manner.
Tang Peipei was so focused on little Tuanzi that she didn't notice anything unusual about Nanny Yuan.
"Mammy, are you doing well in the Princess's Mansion these days?"
Tang Peipei held Xiaotuanzi's hand with one hand and protected him with the other, fearing that he would fall.
Seeing her like this, Nanny Yuan smiled and said, "That's good. The county master is very kind and treats me no worse than Nanny Du and the others."
Tang Peipei nodded, "That's good. Mother has only one son, the general, and the general is busy with affairs and rarely has time to accompany her. Now that she loves little Tuanzi very much, I'm afraid she will let little Tuanzi come to the Princess's Mansion often. You spend more time with little Tuanzi, so you should bring Tuanzi to pay respects to mother more often and accompany her."
When Nanny Yuan heard this, she was thinking about her own guess and forgot to answer for a moment.
After not hearing any sound for a long time, Tang Peipei, who had lowered her head, looked up at Nanny Yuan.
But I saw that Nanny Yuan was thinking about something and seemed like she didn't hear what I said.
Tang Peipei called out, "Madame Yuan?"
Suddenly hearing Tang Peipei's voice, Nanny Yuan finally reacted and said, "I understand, Madam, don't worry."
Tang Peipei was a little suspicious, but since Nanny Yuan didn't say anything, she didn't ask any more questions.
If Nanny Yuan wants to say something, she will naturally tell her, there is no need to force it.
