Chapter 131 Just Watch the Fun
"It doesn't matter. Mom and I don't have anything to do anyway, so we'll just watch the fun."
Yuxiu said with a smile that she just treated it as watching a TV series and found it quite interesting.
Cui was not surprised at all. She had seen many cases of people using their relatives as pawns when she traveled with her master. What happened to Xu Letie was just child's play.
"Every family has its share of troubles. You don't have to worry about it, old lady. Just take care of your health. Let your children and grandchildren deal with their own problems."
Thinking that she was her husband's biological mother after all, Cui smiled and said a few words of comfort. Princess Ning and the Second Lady also joined in the fun, and for a while everyone in the room was having a great time.
Not long after, someone came from outside and said that the family banquet was ready, so Princess Ning invited Cui and Yuxiu to have dinner in the front hall.
The old princess hasn't walked out of the yard for a long time. Cui has been treating her for two days in a row. Today, she is in great spirits and walks happily in front with everyone else.
By the time the group left, the butler had already invited Xu Qinghe to the banquet hall. Even though he was the only male guest, the rules could not be abolished, so they separated the tables into two, one for men and one for women, and placed a large screen in the middle.
"Greetings to the old lady. She looks much more energetic today."
Seeing the old princess and her entourage coming out, Xu Qinghe hurriedly came forward to greet her, and he became even more convinced of his wife's medical skills.
Xu Qinghe had served the old princess by her bedside for quite a few days, so he naturally knew what she looked like when she was on the verge of death.
If she walked out like this now, no one would dare to believe that she had been pronounced dead by several imperial doctors earlier.
"It's because you married a good wife that I can benefit from it."
The old princess smiled and invited Xu Qinghe into the house. The person in front of her was her long-lost biological son. Now that he was right in front of her, she still couldn't recognize him. She had to swallow the bitterness in her heart and pretend nothing had happened.
Xu Qinghe just thought that the old princess said this because she had recovered from her illness. He just wondered what she would think if she knew that two months ago, Cui was still the country woman who worked hard in the fields like a slave.
Today they were entertaining Cui, a disciple of the Miracle Doctor Sect, and her family, and also to thank her for curing the old princess. Although Princess Ning kept saying that it was a homely meal, the dishes were very rich.
Little girls came in one after another, holding trays filled with delicious dishes. Soon, a large table was filled with delicious food.
Since both parties were interested in maintaining the relationship, the meal was a great success. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the old princess wanted to invite Xu Qinghe and his family to sit in her yard, but Yuxiu declined with a smile.
"We just arrived and have nothing prepared. We haven't even checked out the newly bought house to see how it's been arranged. Why don't we wait for a few days to settle down and then invite the old lady and the two ladies to come over and sit down. It will be more lively for everyone to come together."
Yuxiu knew what the old princess was thinking. She had been separated from her biological son Xu Qinghe for so many years. Now they finally met each other, so of course she wanted to talk more with them.
"Wait a few days until we have packed up, then we'll come and invite you in person. It'll also be a good opportunity to help warm our house."
Cui also joined in with a smile. Her daughter had already bought a house, and although there were servants helping to take care of it, it was not as reassuring as watching over it herself.
"Then it's a deal. We will definitely be there early then."
When the old princess heard that they had already bought the house, she was very happy.
Since the youngest son and his family bought a house here, they have decided to settle down here. Regardless of whether they can find evidence that the two children were swapped, she can always keep an eye on Xu Qinghe's family, which is a comfort to her.
After Yuxiu and her family came out of Prince Ning's Mansion, they did not return to the inn. Xu Qinghe drove the carriage and went directly to their new house according to the route given by Yuxiu.
The new house was still a long way from Prince Ning's Mansion. Xu Qinghe drove the carriage around the streets for about quarter of an hour before turning into an alley called Tianshui Lane.
"Dad, the second gate in front is our new home."
Yuxiu stuck her head out of the carriage and looked around carefully. After making sure that they were not in the wrong place, she asked Xu Qinghe to drive the carriage to the gate of the second house.
Perhaps hearing the noise outside, hurried footsteps were soon heard in the yard, and the tightly closed door was opened from the inside.
"I greet you, young lady. These two are the master and the lady, right?"
Zhang Wentang came hurriedly with a group of people. When he saw Yuxiu, he quickly saluted her.
"These are my parents. Everyone, please stop standing outside the door and go in first. Butler Zhang, call everyone over so we can talk together."
Yuxiu didn't want to deal with her family affairs outside the gate, so she and Xu Qinghe supported Cui and walked into the yard. Zhang Wentang asked someone to take the reins of the carriage and sent a little maid in to call people. Then he followed Yuxiu and the others, led them into the yard, and walked towards the hall in the front yard.
Because Yuxiu had said yesterday that she would come over today, Zhang Wentang was very thoughtful. After Yuxiu and the others entered the front hall, they found that the tables, chairs and benches in the room had been wiped clean again, and some small changes had been made in several places, making the current layout look more reasonable.
"This snack is freshly made in the kitchen. Please try it first to see if it suits your taste."
As soon as they sat down, a little girl came in with a tray. On it were two plates of steaming snacks. They looked small and exquisite and very tempting.
"This snack is well made, it looks good and tastes good, you two should try it too."
Cui picked up a piece of dessert and looked at it first, then smiled and asked Yuxiu and Xu Qinghe to eat too.
This was something they had discussed in the inn before. In order to avoid being plotted against, all food eaten outside had to be checked by Cui first, and only after it was cleared could the father and daughter eat.
You know, medicine and poison have been inseparable since ancient times. Cui also has some research on various poisons. However, now that she is pregnant, Yuxiu does not allow her to come into contact with those medicinal materials that are bad for the body. Even if she needs something, she asks the small system to help exchange it in the system space.
"Everyone has been called over and is standing in the yard. Master, do you think you can let them in?"
Soon, Zhang Wentang came to report that everyone was there.
"No need to come in, just move some chairs to the yard."
Yuxiu waved her hand. Now that there was a lot of work to be done in the mansion, of course she had to set up some rules for these people first.
