Chapter 799 Chapter 799
When seeing off Liu Ke and his wife, Song Guanzhou didn't have time to change her clothes. She stood behind the crowd in the cotton skirt she wore when working in the study.
It’s just a matter of making up the numbers.
But Liu Ke saw her at first sight. After saying goodbye to Pei Jian, Pei Chen and several peers from the two mansions, he suddenly became interested and greeted Song Guanzhou.
"Little Junior Sister, when you were little you often met Xiao Wang at your mentor's residence. How come you are so distant now that you have grown up and are so close to each other?"
Song Guanzhou was called out of the blue and had almost no time to react.
It was only when Qi Yueniang beside her gently nudged her that she came back to her senses and quickly knelt down and saluted, "Your Excellency, you are so polite."
What can I say?
Song Guanzhou thought to himself, I looked through the original owner's increasingly vague memories, but I never thought that I had met you old man. Let's go back to where you came from. I've been exhausted all day hosting you and your wife.
Liu Ke saw that she was polite but not warm enough, nor was she angry.
"Xinglu went to southern Yunnan last year and had a drink with Xiao Wang. He is worried about you. I will send a message to your elder brother when I have time in the future."
It was indeed Liu Ke, who knew where Song Guanzhou’s weak spot was.
When she heard about Song Xinglu's letter, she took a bold step forward and asked, "Excuse me, my Lord, is my brother okay?"
Liu Ke laughed out loud towards the sky.
"Who is Song Xinglu? He never puts himself in a difficult position. I see that he is free and easy, relaxed and happy."
"Thank you, Prince, for taking care of my brother. He has been away from the capital for two years. I am afraid he is angry with me and has not sent any message."
Ok?
Liu Ke chuckled, "Given Xing Lu's personality, he would never have any grudges against you. If he didn't send a message, it's probably because the mountains are high and the road is long."
After saying this, without waiting for Song Guanzhou to reply, he greeted Pei Jian and Pei Chen again and mounted his horse.
Pei Qiuyun also helped Aunt Cha and the maids onto the carriage. As the coachman cracked the whip and the sound of horses' hooves rose, the huge convoy slowly set off.
"Father-in-law, second uncle, second aunt, brothers and sisters, please stay. I will come to pay my respects to the elders when I have time in the future."
As for Old Mrs. Xiao, Liu Ke never asked a single question from beginning to end.
Only Pei Qiuyun, who was in the carriage, lifted the curtain again, tears welled up in her eyes. She tried to speak several times, but then choked up and sobbed again.
Aunt Cha was accompanying him in the car and wanted to say a few more words, but she felt sad when she thought about her own daughter trying to get close to the prince.
The master and the servant, each with their own sorrows, were speechless when they came together, and could only stare at each other with tears in their eyes.
When they returned to the Prince's Villa, Liu Ke disappeared without a trace.
Pei Qiuyun called Liu Wan and Liu Yun to come over and have dinner together. After dinner, she finally thought of the business and asked the two sisters, "Did you enjoy going out with your two aunts during the day?"
Liu Wan pursed her lips and said nothing.
Liu Yun, on the other hand, said, "My two aunts are very welcoming, and my great-aunt's house is also very beautiful, but..."
Pei Qiuyun heard this and urged, "What else can't you tell your mother in detail? Just tell me."
Liu Yun glanced at her second sister, and seeing that she lowered her head and didn't say much, she plucked up her courage and started to complain, "My eldest aunt and second aunt are both very good, but my fourth aunt seems to dislike my sister and me. Not only did she not give me a small gift when we met, but she didn't even ask me a few more questions. How could she dislike me and my second sister?"
snort!
"Don't worry about it. She said something wrong in front of mother yesterday and she feels ashamed. How could she dare to talk to you two sisters?"
Liu Yun added, "The second aunt has said a lot about the fourth aunt. It sounds like she is a fierce person. Now she is a popular figure in the mansion, and no one dares to look down on her."
"You two sisters are just beautiful but have no inner qualities. You two sisters sound like that. Don't learn to behave like your fourth aunt."
Style?
Liu Yun looked at her mother and said, "Mother, I heard that my grandmother is now in prison. Is it because of my fourth aunt?"
"Little kid, don't listen to other people's gossip. But your two aunts really have nothing good to say."
Even though Pei Qiuyun said she disliked Song Guanzhou, she didn't dare let her daughter know what her mother was going through.
"Mother, why didn't I go to see my grandmother today?"
Pei Qiuyun sighed and said, "Your grandmother is not feeling well. She should cultivate herself and take care of herself. No one else should disturb her."
"Then..., my mother is not allowed to see me either?"
"Don't mention me. Normally, your uncles wouldn't dare to disturb you. I know you are filial to your grandmother, so I'll go there another day."
When she heard about going again, Liu Wan finally spoke.
"Mother, in my humble opinion, the capital city is not that good. It is not as pleasant as the climate in southern Yunnan."
Pei Qiuyun was slightly stunned. "The capital is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than southern Yunnan. You two sisters have just arrived in the capital and don't know the wonders of it. Go to a few more banquets with your mother in the future, and you will definitely be able to see the dignitaries of the capital."
Liu Wan lowered her head and said, "My daughter thinks southern Yunnan is better."
When Pei Qiuyun heard this, she couldn't stop complaining in her heart, "My son, your eldest sister's marriage was not decided by your mother. I'm afraid she will stay in the wild land of southern Yunnan for the rest of her life and will never come out again. You and your sisters, your mother will definitely not stand by and watch you waste your time like this."
Liu Wan lowered her head and said softly after a while, "Mother, the mountains in southern Yunnan are high and the land is vast, it's not good."
What's better?
Pei Qiuyun pulled her second daughter, who was always well-behaved, over and said, "When you were young, you left the capital and forgot about its prosperity. To be honest, the capital is full of talented people, and that is where my son should be."
After hearing this, Liu Wan said nothing more.
Liu Yun was more lively, and said to her mother, "Mother, are we going to the palace to see the Empress Dowager and the Empress in the future?"
Pei Qiuyun nodded.
"In the next two days, you two sisters must learn some palace etiquette. After entering the palace, you must not lose face for the Diannan County Prince's Mansion. In the future, if you are more blessed, you will be able to visit the most wealthy and luxurious place in the world often."
Liu Yun's face was full of expectation. "I heard that the princesses of His Majesty are all very beautiful. Let's go and take a look."
After hearing this, Liu Wan began to consider backing out.
"Mother, I have always been stupid, and I am not as good as my elder sister and younger sisters in terms of etiquette. I am not as good as... I will not go."
"Why?"
Pei Qiuyun felt helpless when she saw the second girl who was silent.
"Wan'er, you are also going to discuss marriage. If you are like your elder sister, and find a family of warriors to marry, do you know how painful it is for your mother?"
Liu Wan shook her head.
"Mother, I feel very uncomfortable going to my grandfather's house today. Even though my aunts and uncles dote on me, I still feel... tired."
It’s useless!
Pei Qiuyun was furious when she saw her second daughter, who was good-looking but very timid!
