Chapter 167 No Sharing of Bed
Chu Qianyu heard footsteps coming from behind and slowed down her pace a little. She waited until he caught up with her before they walked forward together.
The old princess had just finished washing up when she heard a servant coming to tell her that the prince and princess had arrived. She was unable to react for a moment.
After she came back from Luoyanju yesterday, she went straight back to her own yard. She thought that Qianqian was probably the only one coming this morning, and she even thought for a long time about how to comfort her.
But she didn't expect Nan'er to come with Qianqian. It seemed that Nan'er might have gone to Qianqian's room last night. Thinking of this, she was delighted and quickly stood up and said to the servant beside her: "Let them go to the front hall first, I'll be there soon."
The maid beside her agreed and hurried out to pass on the message.
After hearing no more noise outside, the old princess said to Wang Ma, "Hurry up and find out what happened last night."
After just a cup of tea, Nanny Wang came in quickly and bowed to the old princess, saying, "The servants in the courtyard outside said that the prince passed away last night. But..."
"Just what?"
"I just saw that the prince came out this morning wearing the wedding dress he wore yesterday, and he stayed in the study room in the courtyard for a long time before changing his clothes and going to Luoyan Residence to come to you with the princess."
When the old princess heard this, her face suddenly darkened, and she stood up and walked outside.
When they arrived at the front hall, Chu Qianyu and Mo Yinan saw the old princess coming over and quickly stood up.
Chu Qianyu was about to salute, but the old princess stepped forward and supported him, saying, "Good child, no need to salute. Were you scared by what happened yesterday?"
Chu Qianyu raised her head and glanced at the old princess, then quickly lowered her head and shook her head gently, saying, "I'm sorry to have worried mother. I'm fine now."
When Chu Qianyu raised her head just now, the old princess saw that her face was pale and there were even faint dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that she did not get enough rest last night.
But since she said so, the old princess didn't want to ask directly. She just felt even more distressed seeing her like this.
"I'm glad you're okay. You look so thin, I guess you didn't eat much yesterday."
Without waiting for Chu Qianyu to reply, the old princess said to Nanny Wang beside her: "Go and see if breakfast is ready. Remember to ask the kitchen to prepare more."
Just as Nanny Wang was about to accept the order and go down to give it, she heard the old princess say, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Qianqian what she likes to eat and if she has any dietary restrictions."
Nanny Wang had no choice but to stand there and continue waiting.
"flourishing?"
Chu Qianyu lowered her head as if a little embarrassed and said, "Just let mother arrange it. I am fine with it."
"That won't work. How about asking your maid to go and take a look together?"
Chu Qianyu glanced at Shuang Ning and said, "In that case, Qianqian would not want to disappoint her mother's kindness, so let Shuang Ning go with Nanny Wang."
"Okay, then Shuang Ning, you follow Nanny Wang to the kitchen and take a look. If there is any food that Qianqian doesn't like, just tell the servants in the kitchen."
"Yes, I understand." Shuang Ning agreed and followed Nanny Wang to the kitchen.
After everyone left, the old princess glanced at Mo Yinan, glared at him with a flash of anger in her eyes, and then said to the two of them: "Sit down."
"Mother, I haven't offered you tea yet." Chu Qianyu said.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. I saw you guys were so happy just now that I forgot about this matter. Let's start now." After saying this, the old princess sat down on the chair in front of her and looked at the two of them with a smile.
The servants handed over the teacups that had been prepared long ago.
Chu Qianyu and Mo Yinan took it. Mo Yinan handed the teacup over first and said, "Mother, have some tea."
"Hmm." The old princess took the teacup reluctantly, took a sip and put it aside.
When Chu Qianyu handed it to her, she had a completely different attitude. She took the teacup with a smile, took a big sip and put it aside. Then a maid came over with a box.
The old princess took out a very transparent jade bracelet, lifted Chu Qianyu's hand, put it on her and said, "This bracelet was passed down to me by Nan'er's grandmother. It can be regarded as an heirloom for our Mo family's daughter-in-law. Now mother will give it to you."
Mo Yinan looked at the bracelet on her hand and felt uncomfortable. How could she dare to wear this bracelet?
Chu Qianyu seemed to sense Mo Yinan's unfriendly gaze. She turned her head and glanced at him. Then she looked at the old princess with a trace of fear in her eyes. She took off the bracelet on her hand and said, "Mother, this bracelet is too expensive. I can't afford it. Mother, please take it back."
The old princess saw the expressions of both of them and said to Mo Yinan in a deep voice: "Nan'er, do you think Qianqian can afford this bracelet?"
Mo Yinan glanced at Chu Qianyu and saw that she looked well-behaved. He snorted inwardly: this was really a good show. She even managed to fool her mother.
But now, I certainly cannot go against my mother's tone.
So he said, "Since Qianqian has married me, she is naturally a member of our Mo family. It is reasonable for mother to give her the bracelet."
"Qianqian, you've heard what Nan'er said. Now that you've married into our Mo family, we'll be a family in the future. Please don't be so polite. Accept it quickly." After saying that, the old princess handed the bracelet to Chu Qianyu.
Chu Qianyu did not struggle this time. Instead, she put on the bracelet obediently and thanked the old princess.
"Okay, hurry up and sit down."
After the two of them sat down, the old princess looked at Mo Yinan and asked again: "Have you found out what happened on the street yesterday?"
"It has been investigated. I will definitely take care of this matter. Mother, don't worry too much."
After hearing this, the old princess slammed the table and said angrily: "Humph! Was this the eldest princess behind this?"
Mo Yinan drooped his eyes, making it impossible to tell what his emotion was. He then took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Princess, but I have already thought of a way to deal with this matter. I will definitely give an explanation to Qianqian and General Chu."
"In that case, I won't interfere. If you are not satisfied with the handling, I will not forgive you."
"Don't worry, mother."
After seeing Mo Yinan agree, the old princess looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "Qianqian, what happened at the wedding yesterday was because we didn't have adequate protection, and you got scared. Don't worry, Nan'er and I will definitely give you an explanation. We won't let you suffer this in vain."
"Thank you, mother, for thinking about Qianqian." Chu Qianyu said.
"We are all family. Qianqian, if you need anything in the future, just tell mother." The old princess waved her hand and said generously.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mo Qingzi walked in. She first saluted the old princess and then saluted Mo Yinan and Chu Qianyu.
Chu Qianyu said to Shao Ying who was standing beside her: "Hurry up and bring the gift I prepared for Qingzi."
Shao Ying quickly stepped forward and handed over the small box she had been holding.
Chu Qianyu took it and opened it, only to see a Jinhaitang pearl flower hairpin with extremely exquisite workmanship inside. Although it may not be a particularly valuable and rare item, one can tell at a glance that the person who chose the gift must have put some thought into it.
He handed it to Mo Qingzi and said, "Qingzi, this is the gift I prepared for you. Do you like it?"
Mo Qingzi liked it the first time she saw it, so she said with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I really like this hairpin."
"As long as you like it." Chu Qianyu handed the box over.
At this time, Nanny Wang and Shuang Ning also came in. The old princess looked at Nanny Wang, and she nodded. Then she quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam, the kitchen has prepared the meal. Do you want to move to the west hall to eat now?"
"Well, now that we are ready, let's go." After the old princess finished speaking, she said to Mo Yinan and others, "Let's go, let's go to the West Hall for breakfast."
After everyone stood up and walked out of the hall, the old princess walked slowly forward, asking as she walked: "Did you find out?"
Nanny Wang came forward and whispered, "Just now I asked around and that girl accidentally let it slip. She was very angry and said that when she entered the room to serve the princess this morning, she saw her sleeping on the couch. "It seems that the prince and the princess really did not sleep together."
