Chapter 264: Not a good person
Shen Ling nodded vigorously: "Niuniu, you are right! It's not unusual for stupid people to do anything. I just need to do my best and obey fate. If she is angry with me because of her fiancé, it only means that she is a person who should not be deeply friends with. "
After Shen Ling thought it through, the three of them continued walking back.
This time the journey was smooth, with men and women still sitting separately. Niu Niu was sent to Zhang Yunniang by Shen Ling.
Zhang Yunniang hadn't seen her daughter for most of the day, and she was always worried. Although she knew she was at the eldest princess's mansion, she was still afraid that someone would bully her child.
"Are you having fun with your sister Ling?" Zhang Yunniang asked with a smile.
Niu Niu raised her little face and said with a smile: "Sister Ling and I have done a lot of good things together! We are very busy."
"Wow, what did Niuniu do? Tell me quickly." Liu Xiaoru asked from the side.
Niu Niu shook her head and said, "Sister Ling told me not to say anything."
Liu Xiaoru didn't ask any questions after hearing this, but said: "Niuniu is really a good child who keeps her promises."
Niu Niu proudly puffed out her belly.
Liu Xiaoru looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pat her belly and said, "Oh, it's so empty. Is our little hero hungry because he has done good things?"
Niuniu felt really hungry after being reminded by her. Zhang Yunniang gave her a few dishes and asked her to eat slowly.
There were other women with children on the table, but the little girl sitting opposite Niu Niu looked about the same age as Niu Niu, and she still had to be fed by the maid.
The little girl looked at Niuniu eating by herself. She was stunned for a moment, seemed a little embarrassed, and said, "Mom, I also want to eat by myself."
The noble lady whom she called mother also saw Niu Niu across from her, frowned, and said in a low voice: "What do you want to learn from a small family? It's not like our family can't afford a maid."
The child didn't understand such words of flattery and contempt. She just wanted to play, but she started making trouble: "Why don't you let me learn from her? I want to play, I want to play!"
The lady originally laughed at the Gu family for being shabby, but now her own daughter had made herself embarrassed, and her face suddenly turned dark.
After finally giving the chopsticks to her daughter to eat, her daughter was used to being fed, so she was not very good at holding the chopsticks. Instead, she made a mess with the bowl. The lady's blood pressure instantly rose.
"The Liu family's little girl is almost seven years old. Why can't she even hold chopsticks well? This Liu family's daughter is really..."
Someone at the table could not help but murmur.
Mrs. Liu was so angry that her whole body was shaking. In order not to affect her daughter's future marriage, she hurriedly asked the maid to take her daughter away: "Miss is not hungry yet. Send her out for a walk and then come back."
Although the naughty kid was not happy, Mrs. Liu's face turned dark and she was forcefully taken away by the maid, and the room finally became quiet.
Liu Xiaoru quietly came to Zhang Yunniang's side and whispered: "Sister, our Niuniu is the most obedient and best."
Zhang Yunniang lowered her head and glanced at Niu Niu. The little girl was now holding a bowl and eating honestly. When she saw something she wanted to eat, she would ask Zhang Yunniang for it without any intention of making a fuss.
"Mom, that flower-like dish is particularly delicious. You must try it." Niu Niu suggested to Zhang Yun Niang in a low voice.
Zhang Yuniang's heart suddenly melted when she saw that her daughter was still thinking about her, with such a lovable look.
Having used the banquet actually means that today's flower viewing party is coming to an end.
The eldest princess's plan to organize the flower-viewing banquet was originally intended for the young men and women to see each other. After careful analysis today, it seems that the only good things that have been achieved are the two couples who fell into the water.
Not many guests stayed after the luncheon.
The Gu family also stood up and left. Shen Ling held Niu Niu's hand and whispered, "I'll go and play with you in a few days, okay?"
Niu Niu said: "Sister Ling has to decide in advance a day to come. I've been a little busy recently."
Shen Ling was confused: "Don't you stay at home all day? Isn't your father at home watching your homework?"
Niu Niu shook her head, counted on her fingers and showed it to Shen Ling, and said: "Tomorrow is a holiday. I'm going to go to Daddy Sun's house to play. The day after tomorrow, my grandma and I will go to work. The day after tomorrow, my dad will release the results, and I will also go and see... "
"Work? What work?" Shen Ling was curious.
Niu Niu said: "My grandma helps Li Yaren, and she will go to help him sell his house tomorrow."
Shen Ling had never seen anything like this before and immediately said, "Can I go? I'm curious!"
Niuniu didn't feel that what her grandma did was inferior at all, and said, "I haven't actually seen it before. This is the first time my grandma has gone out to work. I can't promise you for my grandma. I have to ask her."
Shen Ling liked Niu Niu and thought the little girl was interesting, so he said, "Then don't forget to ask her, what you do together will be fun, don't forget it, you know?"
Niu Niu patted her belly and said, "Don't worry, I have the best memory!"
Not long after the Gu family left, Shen Ling sent someone to ask if the Li family had left. She also sent someone to inquire during the previous dinner. Cui Yuan left in a hurry before the banquet started, saying that he accidentally fell and had a bruise on his head. It was a small wound, so I went back to see the doctor.
With this clue as evidence, Shen Ling was able to confirm that the man in the secret meeting was really Cui Yuan.
Li Shuyun is fifteen years old this year. Although she has a grandfather who joined the cabinet, the Li family is now only supported by her grandfather in the court. Although there are people in Li's father's generation who are officials in the court, they are not particularly successful, which is quite a bit of a lack of employment. .
Jing'an Bo Mansion had previously annoyed the emperor, and the emperor had ignored the invitation to grant him the title of Crown Prince. Now that he was marrying the Li family, he hoped to use the power of Mr. Li Ge to successfully grant the title of Crown Prince to Cui Yuan.
"Thank you sister for reminding me, I made a mental note." Li Shuyun stood up and gave a solemn salute to Shen Ling.
Shen Ling quickly helped the person up and asked, "Sister Li, just don't blame me for talking too much."
Li Shuyun shook her head and said: "Originally, my family said that the eldest son of the Cui family has a good character and the style of his ancestors, but I know in my heart that the purpose of marrying the Jing'an Bo Mansion to my family is to invite the crown prince."
"Since sister knows, why does your family still agree to this marriage?" Shen Ling was puzzled.
Li Shuyun sighed softly and said: "Everyone in the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. Everyone has their own plans. This is human nature. My family's marriage proposal was just because of the title of Prince Jing'an Mansion. "
Although Shen Ling and Li Shuyun were familiar with each other before, they had never been close to each other. Now seeing Li Shuyun's thoughtfulness, she couldn't help but feel good about her.
"Now that my sister knows about it, will this marriage continue?"
Li Shuyun looked embarrassed and said, "Of course I don't want to."
"I can accept that he has an agenda, but I cannot tolerate that he first communicates with other girls in private, and then betrays his trust for his own selfish purposes. This is definitely not a good person."
"It's just a matter of family matters. In the final analysis, my grandfather still has the final say."
Obviously, Li Shuyun didn't think that the elders in the family would regret their marriage because of this trivial matter. After all, once the engagement was broken off, it might affect the marriages of other girls in the Li family.
After the guests had dispersed, Shen Changfeng went directly to the eldest princess: "Mom, I don't want a fiancée now, so don't mess around with me!"
When the eldest princess heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then as if she suddenly thought of something, she clapped her hands hard and asked, "Do you have a sweetheart?"
