Chapter 115: Princess Qinghe Deals with Stepmother

But Tang Peipei didn't need to call anyone. When Wanniang saw the waiter buying cakes and pouring tea to take them upstairs, she said to the waiter, "The young lady asked me to wait here. I'll bring it up."

The second brother didn’t know what this stepmother was like. He only knew that Lu Lifeng brought her back, so he let her go.

As Tang Peipei reached the stairs, she saw her stepmother coming upstairs with tea and cakes.

When Wanniang saw Tang Peipei, she felt a little timid, afraid that Tang Peipei would scold her again.

Unexpectedly, Tang Peipei only said, "Be careful, bring it up quickly."

After saying that, he turned and went to the private room.

When Wanniang saw that Tang Peipei did not scold her, she thought that Tang Peipei was finally willing to accept her, and happily brought tea and pastries to the private room.

Wanniang smiled and placed tea and pastries on the coffee table next to Princess Qinghe.

She also said to Princess Qinghe: "These are specially bought for you by our young lady. Please try them."

Princess Qinghe smiled and said to Tang Peipei, "Did you just ask someone to buy this?" Then she picked up a piece of cloud cake and took a bite.

Tang Peipei said shyly, "I heard from the general that you liked the cloud cake from Chenlou in North Street, so I asked someone to buy some for you."

Princess Qinghe was very touched by Tang Peipei's thoughtfulness and said with a smile, "In fact, this cloud cake contains a memory of Jintang's father and me."

Tang Peipei was curious and wondered if there was a story behind this.

Wan Niang smiled and interrupted, "Is there a story behind this?"

The nanny beside Princess Qinghe's eyes turned cold and she shouted, "Kneel down!"

Wan Niang was frightened by the nanny so much that her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground. She felt a little afraid of the nanny.

The Nanny Chang who is beside Princess Qinghe is her wet nurse. She was Princess Qinghe's mother, and the maid who came with the Princess Chen as a dowry at the time. She has been with Princess Qinghe since the Princess Chen gave birth to her. She is a very capable old lady.

Also because of the princess's instruction, that terrifying aura was ten times ten.

Wanniang was just an ordinary woman, how could she have ever seen such momentum?

The reason why he dared to speak just now was because he saw Princess Qinghe talking to Tang Peipei very smoothly, and he forgot himself for a moment.

This time, Nanny Chang was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she remembered that the lady sitting in front of her, who looked very easy-going, was the princess.

She quickly apologized, "It was my fault, Princess, please forgive me."

Princess Qinghe looked at the woman kneeling at her feet. She was indeed a charming woman.

He asked casually, "I just heard Peipei say that Uncle Lu brought you back?"

Although Wanniang is a woman, she also has basic knowledge, otherwise she would not insist on following Lu Lifeng.

After hearing what Princess Qinghe said, Wanniang finally realized that this seemingly ordinary Miss Tang might have a complicated identity.

I could only answer cautiously: "In reply to the princess, yes, it was Brother Lu who saved my life."

Princess Qinghe nodded and said, "If that's the case, then why do you have to make things difficult for your savior? Make the couple at odds?"

Wanniang immediately kowtowed and said, "I dare not, I dare not."

Princess Qinghe chuckled and said, "I've already done it, so why would I say I don't dare?"

After listening to Princess Qinghe's words, Stepmother didn't even dare to raise her head and just kept her head lowered. It was really because Princess Qinghe's aura was too strong that she didn't dare to act like a rogue like she did in front of Tang Peipei.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Princess Qinghe slowed down her tone and said, "I don't want to care about a nameless woman like you. But this matter is related to the harmony of my future daughter-in-law's family. In order to make my daughter-in-law have fewer troubles before marrying into my family, I will give you a way. What do you think?"

Although Princess Qinghe's words were inquiries, they left no room for doubt.

Wanniang only felt that her vest was sweating. It seemed like just a casual chat at home, but Wanniang felt like a thorn in her back and was very uneasy.

He said with a stiff upper lip: "It's all up to the princess."

It was only then that Wanniang realized that Tang Peipei was actually the princess's daughter-in-law and the fiancée of the Daqing God of War.

Cold sweat unconsciously flowed down my forehead.

Princess Qinghe was very satisfied with her stepmother's understanding of the current situation, and said to Nanny Chang, "I remember that Uncle Du in the manor in Hui County has not yet married. I think this woman is very suitable, so let's send her to Hui County and marry Uncle Du."

Nanny Chang said respectfully, "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

Princess Qinghe nodded with satisfaction.

Nanny Chang pulled Wanniang out of the private room and headed towards the Princess's Mansion.

Tang Peipei felt a little ashamed, and finally realized the gap between herself and those young ladies from aristocratic families.

She also realized that Princess Qinghe had not meant to embarrass her at the time, and she was still self-righteous when she said those words.

Tang Peipei looked at Princess Qinghe, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Princess Qinghe took her hand and said, "Peipei, as the wife of a famous family, you have a lot to learn. But don't worry, I will teach you in person when you and Jintang get married. You should learn the palace etiquette now. Outside the palace, as my daughter-in-law, Princess Qinghe, and Jintang's wife, you can hold your head high and accept the etiquette that others should have towards you. But inside the palace, you must always be careful and cautious. If you are not careful, you will be punished? So, you have to understand the palace etiquette well, in case Jintang and I are not by your side one day, and no one can protect you, you have to protect yourself."

Tang Peipei didn't expect that Princess Qinghe had thought so much about her, and she was deeply moved.

Tang Peipei assured Princess Qinghe: "Princess, don't worry, I will study hard. Whether it is court etiquette or being a noble lady, I will do it well."

Princess Qinghe patted the back of Tang Peipei's hand. In fact, after spending some time together and hearing what the two teaching maids had told her, Princess Qinghe had some new understandings of Tang Peipei. She also knew that although Tang Peipei was from the countryside, she was literate and intelligent.

That's why she wanted to help her deal with her stepmother's affairs today, which could also be considered as teaching her a lesson.

And Tang Peipei was indeed influenced by Princess Qinghe.

Princess Qinghe chatted with Tang Peipei for a while, and when Nanny Chang came back to report after sending the people away, she stood up and said goodbye to Tang Peipei.

At the same time, he also reminded her: "You and Jintang's wedding day will come in a few days. Don't just be busy with the store's affairs. Take a good rest. You will be a beautiful bride by then."

Tang Peipei listened to her future mother-in-law's jokes, feeling a little shy, and nodded gently, "I understand."

Tang Peipei sent Princess Qinghe to the carriage and returned to the store only after the carriage had gone far away.
