Chapter 1222 Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law compete (3)
Grandma Xie was not willing to let Xiang Yun talk to this rough guy. She stood in front of Xiang Yun and said impatiently: "After taking the ginseng, leave quickly. Remember, you are not allowed to mention what happened today outside. Lest it be spread by someone with ulterior motives and ruin our wife’s reputation!"
"Yes, yes, I will obey my orders, I will say goodbye..." The man took two pieces of good ginseng and went out with tears of gratitude!
Grandma Xie nodded politely to Situ Changge, pulled Xiangyun involuntarily, and went back behind the screen.
"Auntie, please don't be impulsive anymore. Let me save my worries..." Auntie Xie said with a grimace.
"Uh, I see..."
After this happened, Xiangyun also lost interest in peeking at their business. She played with her bracelet with a look on her face and muttered: "Why isn't Caiwei here?"
…
At this moment, Caiwei was also very anxious, but she couldn't get out because just after Nangong Yi left, her mother-in-law, Queen Mother Mo, arrived!
Although Caiwei didn't welcome her, and even felt disgusted when she saw her, she was Nangong Yi's biological mother and her mother-in-law after all, so even if she didn't like her, she couldn't kick her out, at least in terms of face. Passable!
After Empress Dowager Mo arrived, Caiwei invited her into a bright room on the west side of the main hall of the Royal Study that Nangong Yi occasionally used to receive courtiers.
The bright room is large and bright, with a gorgeous palace lantern hanging from the ceiling, and a red velvet carpet with Ruyi Tianhua brocade pattern underneath. There is a high step opposite the door, with a couch on it, and behind the couch There is a rosewood three-leaf screen. The couch is covered with bright yellow cushions, and there are bright yellow pillows on both sides.
After Empress Dowager Mo came in, she sat quietly on the couch with the yellow cushions. She didn't speak or smile, so majestic!
Caiwei was very disdainful of her attitude. This old woman almost caused her to break up with her man, Lao Yan, and make her man become a couple with another woman. Based on this, Caiwei could not forgive her. Today, when she came, she didn't mean to repent at all. Instead, she acted as if someone owed her 800 yuan. It was really annoying.
Before she could ask for a seat, Caiwei sat down on a chair not far from the couch, and then lazily ordered Qiu to serve tea.
Caiwei sat down without invitation, and Empress Dowager Mo was very angry when she saw it. She gave Caiwei a cold look, but didn't say anything. She just continued to hold it with a sullen face, waiting for Caiwei to speak to her first.
She didn't speak, so Caiwei didn't bother to pay attention to her, let alone try to please her. When the tea came, she held the tea cup, gently blew the tea leaves in the cup, and tasted it leisurely...
An hour passed
Neither of them said a word, and they were just in a stalemate. The air in the room was so cold that it could freeze people, and the only sound in silence was breathing. Empress Dowager Mo made up her mind to maintain her mother-in-law's dignity and keep her dignity. Not to speak to Mu Caiwei first; while Caiwei couldn't forget that Empress Dowager Mo had poisoned Nangong Yi some time ago, and she kept a straight face but said nothing.
This dull and explosive atmosphere is extremely torturous. The two parties involved in the conflict are fine, but the slaves behind them can't stand it. One of these two masters is the emperor's biological mother, and the other is the emperor's beloved daughter. Wife, these two people are facing each other, and the emperor can't put an end to this case. In the end, he will have to use them as slaves to take out his anger on them.
Therefore, after thinking over and over again, Chen Shangxi bit the bullet and smoothed things over and said, "The Queen Mother, don't you have something to say to the Queen Mother? Why are you playing riddles now?"
