Xiao Ting said unconcernedly: "Your highness has matters to attend to and Hong Shao has to return today."

The old woman didn't like her.

Before they had even entered the door, they could already hear the hubbub of people inside. There were quite a few people talking nonsense.

"six girls came back to the door. Come in." Third Aunt was the first one to notice Xiao Ting and walked over to pull her.

Although the original owner was being arrogant and mischievous outside, she was still a good girl in the mansion. At the very least, she was obedient when facing the old mistress.

Therefore, Xiao Ting imitated the original owner and went forward to pay respects to the old lady, "My grandson greets Grandmother, Grandmother has worked hard on your journey."

A few nights ago, she had a bad dream and upon waking up, she wanted to return to her parents' home to visit. The Old Master of the household was already dead, so how could National Uncle let her go? She could only send people to protect her and go to Jiangnan.

Xiao Ting originally had good intentions, it was a greeting, who would have thought, the old lady actually snorted, and said: "Come to think of it, this old one still needs to pay his respects to you, Ninth Princess."

Although she said this, she sat steadily in front of him. She had no intention of greeting him.

Xiao Ting was dumbstruck, what was going on?

The voices of the several people sitting beside him instantly froze. They didn't dare to say anything else.

The old lady snorted again and expressed her dissatisfaction. She said, "The lord has left, this Xiao Mansion is getting more and more unruly. Before big sister has decided, little sister will get married first.

As she said that, she threw the tea cup on the table heavily with a clanging sound, producing a loud noise. Some of the tea stains flew out and landed on Xiao Ting's body.

Today, she was wearing a light yellow dress with no embroidery on it. It was picked by the Hong Shao.

The tea stains splattered out and imprinted themselves on her chest. There was no way to block them and they covered nothing at all. It was very conspicuous and extremely awkward.

No one dared to make a sound, just as Xiao Ting was about to argue with her, Fourth Miss Xiao Mei's voice came from outside.

"Grandmother has just returned and is already so angry. Why don't you care so much about your body?"

Xiao Mei, like her name, was incomparably charming and amongst the Xiao family's eight sisters, she was the most similar to Aunt Imperial Consort Xiao. Logically speaking, Imperial Consort Xiao ought to like her the most.

But no one could understand why Imperial Consort Xiao liked Xiao Ting, the niece who was a far cry from her looks and had a temperament incomparable to hers.

Others could not understand, and even more so, what others could not understand was Xiao Mei.

She hadn't even booked a date yet, and didn't expect her sister, whom she had always looked down upon, would be the one to snatch it away from first.

Grandmother had always favored her and didn't like Xiao Ting, but this Xiao Ting had Grandfather protecting her and her father protecting her and her aunt protecting her outside, so she couldn't do anything to her.

Now that her grandfather had passed away, and her father was afraid of her, she wanted to see …

"It's Mei Er. Come over and let grandma see if my poor granddaughter has suffered any grievances during this period." If you say it out loud, Grandmother will make the decision for you! "

The old lady turned her face away from the stern mother-in-law to the loving, loving, and good mother.

Instantly, he changed his face and looked at Xiao Mei with a smile.

When Xiao Mei walked over, the fragrant wind wafted in the air. Xiao Ting pinched her nose and endured the smell that made her want to die.

"With grandmother's love, no matter how wronged grandson is, I will be relieved."

He was just putting on an act!

After that, her mind started to wander. She would go to see the Seventh Madame later on, not knowing how she was doing, and since she didn't go out just now, she must be very serious.

If Small Ten knew, he would definitely cry.

There were also the vines she planted a few days ago. She didn't know if they were still alive, but if they were, she would have moved them to the Ninth Prince's Estate.

As she was thinking this, she did not know that after the Old Mistress finished greeting Xiao Mei, the Old Mistress had asked her a question.

"Didn't you hear your sister greeting you?"

"..."

Silence reigned in the room.

"Xiao Ting..."

Xiao Ting instantly snapped back to reality, "What? Have you eaten? "

A few of the aunts sitting beside him covered their mouths and chuckled as well. Someone said in a low voice, "six girls has already become an imperial concubine, he still hasn't changed his love of food."

The old woman's face darkened, and she wanted to slam the table again, "Eat, eat. If you're not causing trouble all day long, then eat. What else do you know?"

Xiao Ting thought for a moment, then said: "In reply to Grandmother's words, eating, drinking, and spreading are the most important things in life, and other things are all done by others, this grandson doesn't need to do!"

What she said sounded reasonable, but the madame was so angry that she wanted to vomit three liters of blood.

In fact, what Xiao Ting said was right. The current her had a servant girl for everything, who needed her to do anything?

However, to the madame, those words were a flaunt of marrying the prince.

"Do you think that you can stop putting this old one in your eyes just by marrying the Ninth Prince?"

Seeing the old lady angry, Xiao Ting finally realised that she said the wrong thing again.

Thus, she thought about it and decided to give it a reminder.

"Um, Grandmother, the empress dowager loved to get angry like you did yesterday. In the end, her body wasn't so good as to be able to faint, but she still had to blame this grandson. Capture this grandson and interrogate him for his crimes, don't imitate her. When the time comes, faint again, and blame this grandson …"
