Li Rou wanted to say more, but Qi Zhenzhen and Li Nuan stopped her with their eyes. She could only turn her head and sit obediently.
Madam Tang sighed, "This girl has been afraid of trouble since she was little. Everything is troublesome, everything is troublesome."
Regardless, the atmosphere finally eased. Qi Zhenzhen seized the opportunity to mention Rui Ning's invitation and her idea of taking Qi Xuanxuan and the others out.
The Old Madam thought for a moment and nodded, "You and Nuan girl must take good care of the two younger ones, and bring more servants and guards."
Li Rou and Qi Xuanxuan were both excited, not expecting the Old Madam to agree so readily.
"When are you going out? I'll accompany you," Madam Tang said. Da Feng Novel Network
"Yes, yes, with your aunt accompanying you, I'll be more at ease. A Ru, you must watch them carefully," the Old Madam instructed.
"Aunt, please rest assured. I guarantee they will return as they left," Madam Tang smiled. "I have stayed with Aunt for long enough. I should take my leave. Second Master said this morning that he wanted to eat Yangchun noodles at noon, so I must go back and prepare. Nuan'er, Rou'er, you two must behave yourselves in the Marquis's mansion and not cause trouble for your great-aunt, understand?"
Li Nuan and Li Rou nodded in unison, looking at Madam Tang with pleading eyes, "Mother, can't we go back with you?"
Madam Tang glared at them, "Your grandmother and the others are staying in the mansion. What would it look like if you left with me?"
"Are you two unwilling to keep the old woman company?" the Old Madam asked.
"No, Great-aunt. We're just curious about what our house looks like," Li Nuan quickly said.
"What could a house look like?" Madam Tang chided them. "If you're really curious, I'll take you to see it on the day we move."
After speaking, Madam Tang left Chaohui Hall without delay.
"The house where Su'er and the others are staying was found through the Qian family. Madam Fang accompanied them during the settling-in. You can ask Madam Fang if you want to know anything," the Old Madam said helplessly.
Li Nuan did not know that the house was found through the Qian family. Her expression changed. She had not yet entered the Qian family's door, and she was already troubling them so much. Moreover, houses in the capital were very expensive, with ordinary ones costing over a thousand taels of silver. Their branch of the family did not seem to have much money, so that house...
Li Nuan felt a pang of anxiety. Was the house purchased with money from the Qian family? If so, how would they view her?
"Nuan'er, what's wrong? Your face has turned so pale?" the Old Madam was the first to notice Li Nuan's abnormality.
Li Nuan snapped back to reality and forced a smile, "Great-aunt, perhaps I didn't sleep well last night, and I'm a bit sleepy now."
"Then you should go back and rest. You don't need to stay here and keep the old woman company," the Old Madam said with concern.
Li Nuan stood up, a look of apology on her face, "Great-aunt, I'll take my leave then."
Qi Zhenzhen and the others did not stay much longer, as a gatekeeper reported that the Heir Apparent had arrived and the Marquis had requested Qi Zhenzhen to go to the front courtyard.
The Old Madam naturally urged her to leave quickly.
Li Rou and Qi Xuanxuan followed behind Qi Zhenzhen, whispering mischievously, "Does the Heir Apparent miss Sister so much that he can't bear to be apart? As the saying goes, a day apart feels like three autumns!"
The two young girls winked and teased her.
Qi Zhenzhen glared at them, but she also wondered if there was something important happening.
The three parted ways at the垂花门. Li Rou and Qi Xuanxuan returned to their courtyard, while Qi Zhenzhen, with Feixu, headed to the front courtyard.
