After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide
Chapter 95 Questioning
The key to the problem?
Ke Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.
Then Yu Jing asked in surprise: "What?"
The young couple looked at him, and he realized that he was too excited. He smiled awkwardly: "Uncle means that you are going back so soon? Why don't you stay a little longer?"
"That's your eldest cousin's wife. I heard that she has been researching dim sum these past two days. The dim sum she makes is even tastier than the ones bought outside."
Yu Jing turned his head and asked Pan Yaying: "Madam, is that right?"
Pan Yaying nodded in agreement, "Yes." She turned her head to look at Shang Tingli and said with a smile, "I went to the Duke Zhong's Mansion with your eldest cousin's wife yesterday. She brought some homemade cakes, and Qinghuan ate several pieces in a row."
"It seems that young girls all like this."
Yu Jing directly instructed the maidservant in the room: "Go to the Prince's Courtyard and tell them that Prince Ren and his wife are here and want to taste the cakes made by the Prince's wife. Please make some more and bring them over."
The maid bowed: "Yes."
Ke Xin: “…”
Shang Tingli: “……?”
[What is going on? ]
[You two are indeed an old married couple, you really have a perfect understanding of each other. I said I wanted to leave, but you didn't say a word and just followed my lead, asking me to stay and eat the snacks made by my cousin's wife? ]
Shang Tingli was extremely speechless.
[Are you really okay? ]
Ke Xin's lips curled up slightly.
To be honest, he had never seen such...unreliable relatives in his life.
The Yi Zhong Hou Mansion is full of rare talents, which really opened his eyes.
As soon as the maid left, Yu Jing smiled at Shang Tingli and said, "Have you ever eaten the snacks made by your eldest cousin's wife? If not, you can eat more later."
Shang Tingli smiled wryly and said, "I've eaten it before."
The wife of the prince of Yizhong Marquis's mansion, her eldest cousin Fang Qian married into the family two years ago. She was the second daughter of Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, and her marriage with Yu Rongbao was a match made in heaven, but they had no emotional foundation. When she heard that Yu Rongbao was taking a concubine, she didn't care at all. She usually liked to stay in her yard and cook some snacks. She only cared about the things in her yard and never cared about the things outside.
She had indeed eaten the pastries made by Fang Qian.
It was winter when Fang Qian got married. It was the first month after Fang Qian got married, which happened to be the Spring Festival. It was also the first year Fang Qian spent in the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion after getting married.
Almost everyone in the mansion went out to play in the streets, but she did not go out. She stayed in her own small courtyard with Fangzhi and Gantang to make dumplings. It was not that she did not eat dumplings with the Yu family, but in the years when she did not get copper coins, she would go back to her own small courtyard and make dumplings with copper coins on each with the two maids.
At that time, she didn't know that Fang Qian also stayed in the mansion and did not go out until she heard the maid calling outside. Fang Zhi went out to see and was told that the Prince's wife had arrived. Only then did she know.
At that time, he had not had time to wash his hands after listening to the ceremony, and hurried out to greet her: "Cousin's wife?"
She was about to bow to Fang Qian when she was held back. She heard Fang Qian say, "You are welcome, cousin."
Fang Qian looked at her and saw that her hands were covered with flour. She asked, "What are you cooking, cousin?"
Shang Tingli smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't get any copper coins in the dining hall this morning, so I thought about making some flatbreads myself..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, but Fang Qian already understood and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She smiled and said, "How cute."
If you can't eat copper coins, you can wrap them for yourself. You can always eat them? It's really cute that there are still people doing this kind of thing these days.
Shang Tingli's face suddenly turned red.
"Why didn't my cousin go shopping?"
Fang Qian said: "The Spring Festival is the same every year, there is nothing new. If I were younger, I would find it interesting, but now that I am older, I find it boring. It is better to stay indoors and cook some food for fun."
Shang Tingli nodded.
Although she couldn't understand Fang Qian, she also respected her. She thought it was fun to go out for a stroll. After all, she didn't have many opportunities to go out. But she had to eat another meal of dumplings today before she could go out to play contentedly.
"I wonder how my cousin's wife knew I was in the house? I think everyone has gone out at this time."
On the first day of the New Year, there are so many fun things to do that if you don’t go out early, you’ll be squeezed like a sieve when you go out. Whether it’s the streets or somewhere, it’s usually crowded.
Many people tried to go out early. At this time in the past, there were basically no masters left in the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion.
"I didn't know at first." Fang Qian said, "I don't like to go out and crowd with people, so I made some Ruyi Lianggao in the yard. If I made too much, I would not be able to finish it, so I thought of finding someone to share the burden with me, right?"
She couldn't hide her smile in her voice: "But at this moment, everyone should be out. I wanted to try my luck, so I asked someone to look around, and only your yard was smoking, so I thought there must be someone there."
Shang Tingli blinked.
Fang Qian couldn't stop laughing: "It seems that you are destined to be together. You must eat my Ruyi Lianggao."
Shang Tingli laughed: "Then please wait a moment, my cousin, my flatbreads are almost ready to be put into the pot."
"You treat me to Ruyi Lianggao, and I treat you to copper-coin flatbread."
Fang Qian smiled: "Okay."
She went back to the small kitchen and saw the two maids, Fangzhi and Gantang, had already put the dumplings into the pot.
She washed her hands and came out again. She couldn't really let her cousin's wife sit outside alone.
"Your yard..." Fang Qian had an expression that was hard to describe.
Shang Tingli smiled indifferently: "We have everything we need, it's still okay."
Fang Qian didn't respond.
She sighed and said, "Eat Ruyi Lianggao first."
Her maid had already opened the food box she had brought and took out a plate of delicious pastries.
Shang Tingli picked up a piece and took a bite. Fang Qian looked at her with her hands on her cheeks and asked impatiently, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Shang Tingli nodded and gave Fang Qian a thumbs up, "It's cool and refreshing, very delicious, and the taste is good."
Fang Qian smiled and said, "You know what you are talking about."
After Shang Tingli finished the piece in his hand, he couldn't help but eat two more pieces. This plate of pastries was indeed delicious. The taste was as good as those from the most famous pastry shop outside. No wonder this cousin's wife was so confident in her cooking skills.
The two chatted casually, and soon, Fang Zhi and Gan Tang brought a plate of dumplings and placed bowls and chopsticks in front of them.
This time it was Shang Tingli's turn to greet Fang Qian. She said, "Cousin, please."
Fang Qian didn't bother to be polite with her. She picked up some dumplings with chopsticks and put them in her bowl. Naturally, the food was very hot since it was fresh out of the oven. When it was not so hot anymore, she put it in her mouth and took a bite.
As expected, he bit into two copper coins.
Fang Qian was a little surprised, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head and said, "What an interesting person. How could there be two copper coins hidden in a dumpling?"
Shang Tingli was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "The cousin's wife really misunderstood."
"Ah?" Fang Qian was stunned. "Can I still eat copper coins out of thin air?"
Shang Tingli explained: "No, although I put copper coins in every dumpling, I didn't put two coins in every one."
Her idea was that no matter how many copper coins the dumplings she ate were worth, they still contained copper coins, and she would be happy.
"The one who ate two copper coins means that my cousin's wife has good luck."
Fang Qian really admired her: "My Ruyi Cake brings you good luck, and your copper coin dumplings bring me good luck——"
Shang Tingli replied, "They are all happy events."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
……
Thinking of Fang Qian, Shang Tingli couldn't help sighing.
In my impression, this cousin's wife is a person who can take things easy. It's such a pity that she married Yu Rongbao.
It can be seen that good people may not necessarily be rewarded, and good people will always be punished by evil people.
"Listen, sister, you have to come back more often in the future to avoid those people outside who have nothing better to do and are always talking nonsense." Yu Jing's face was filled with indignation, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with those people who were just watching the fun and making trouble.
Shang Tingli asked, "So, besides apologizing to me, uncle also wants our two families to get closer?"
Yu Jing looked as if nothing had happened, and took over the conversation naturally, saying, "That's right."
"Uncle, this is not necessary, right?" Shang Tingli smiled faintly.
Yu Jing immediately became so anxious that he blew his beard and glared: "Why not?"
[Haha, I'm still pretending. ]
Shang Tingli was very disdainful of Yu Jing's behavior.
[It is nothing more than that the Fourth Prince revealed to you that Ke Xingchen is one of their own, right? ]
Her words made Ke Xin frown, and his right eyelid twitched. Feeling uncomfortable, he reached out and touched his right eye.
What does Ke Ming mean?
According to her thoughts, Ke Ming had never acknowledged that he was one of "his own" from the beginning to the end, so why did he suddenly announce it now?
Suddenly, he remembered something.
The wind blew the willows, the lake reflected the shadows, and the kite of a young girl flew towards him. The girl was extremely beautiful. He clearly saw at that time that the hunter's eyes were filled with interest.
Could it be that Ke Ming wants to get close to the Crown Prince's Consort through the Marquis Yi Zhong's Mansion?
Ke Xin's eyes turned cold.
Shang Tingli did not notice his abnormality. Facing Yu Jing's question, he answered fluently, "Actually, there is really no need to deliberately get close to him. Just treat me the same way that my uncle treated me in the past."
She doesn't need false family affection.
[It is a good dog of His Majesty the Fourth Prince. 】
[You clearly want to strangle me to death, right? But you have to pretend to be a good uncle and try to get closer to me, just because Ke Xingchen is also a member of the Fourth Prince's party. You can only put aside your grudges and follow the Fourth Prince's wishes first.]
【Tsk, tsk, it's really wonderful. 】
[Your daughter is still in jail, are you going to make peace with Liang Weifeng in this way? When you acted like this, did you remember what Liang Weifeng looked like?]
Ke Xin's face looked unhappy and cold. He thought to himself that she might be thinking too one-sidedly, and something darker and more disgusting was waiting for her.
He couldn't sit still.
"Let's go." Ke Xin grabbed Shang Tingli's wrist, stood up with everyone else, his voice slightly cold.
Shang Tingli didn't expect that he was such a proactive person who could leave as soon as he said he would, but it was exactly what she wanted, so she just went along with him.
[Go, go, go, go quickly, who wants to be close to them? I don’t have the habit of forgetting the pain after the scar has healed. ]
Yu Jing was shocked by this sudden change.
He was already choked by Shang Tingli's words, and now Ke Xin's move completely caught him off guard.
Yu Jing also stood up at once, "Eh? Prince, do you have something to say?"
"Greetings to Prince Ren and his wife."
"Greetings to Prince Ren and his wife."
Two voices, a man's and a woman's, were heard, and everyone saw a man and a woman walking out of the house.
It’s Fang Qian and Yu Rongbao.
Ke Xin remained expressionless and ignored him.
Shang Tingli raised his lips and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, please don't be polite."
Yu Jing pulled Pan Yaying to block the way, and Ji Zhang spontaneously stood beside them to block the road.
"You came at the right time." Yu Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead, which was the cold sweat caused by his anxiety just now.
What His Highness had instructed him was to repair his relationship with his niece, and the closer the better.
But it doesn't mean that he should break off the relationship with his niece directly!
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Hurry up and put the cakes out for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess to taste."
The atmosphere was a bit weird. Fang Qian didn't dare to say much. She just responded and went to serve snacks.
"I'll go with you." Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu Rongbao immediately went to help Fang Qian.
Fang Qian had just put the food box on the table when she heard Shang Tingli say, "Cousin, there's no need to set it up. Thank you for your kindness."
She paused and looked at Yu Rongbao helplessly, and saw that this man was as confused as she was.
"Uncle, let's be frank."
Shang Tingli's eyes were indifferent.
Yu Jing replied: "The misunderstanding has been cleared up, there is nothing else to worry about..."
Shang Tingli interrupted him: "Uncle, there's really no need to pretend anymore."
Yu Jing: “…”
"Last time, because of the incident with cousin Lingling, you angrily accused me of being an ungrateful person and even had people spread rumors outside. You ruined my reputation like that, didn't you just want to drown me in the spit of the world?"
"From the first day I arrived at the Yi Zhong Hou Mansion, you have never looked at me straight in the eye. For you, just giving me a place to stay is a great gift. You have never cared about my affairs, not even a single question."
"It would be fine if my aunt was not willing to help me repair the yard, but she also held my money and dowry in her hands, using this to oppress me and not let me live a happy life."
"Whether it's cousin Lanxi or cousin Lingling, none of them really treat me as a sister. All they do is embarrass me. The 'blank painting' of the past, the pond in the cold winter..."
"Uncle, are you really unheard of all these things?"
Shang Tingli smiled. Although this was clearly a topic of questioning, her expression was calm and her tone was gentle, as if she was not talking about her own business.
"..."
After she finished speaking, the room fell silent. Only the person beside her seemed to have sympathy and held her hand to give her some strength.
Yu Jing stammered, as if his throat was broken, and couldn't utter a single word.
