Chapter 195 Pheasant vs. Wild Boar
Chapter 195 Pheasant vs. Wild Boar
"This Chang family is too mean."
It’s definitely correct, Liu Tianshu smiled happily.
"It's a good thing that the Chang family thought of this. They only sent two pheasants as a New Year gift."
Tong Er smiled evilly and said, "Yes, let alone in the capital, even in ordinary families, there is no reason to send only two pheasants."
"What was Miss Third's reaction?"
Liu Tianshu looked at Tong'er curiously.
Tong Er said happily: "The Third Miss is very angry and is crying in front of the old lady, asking her to make the decision for her."
After learning about the New Year gift from the Chang family, Hong Er smiled and said, "The old lady can't do anything to the Chang family. If I take this opportunity to cancel the marriage, I won't be humiliated if I really marry into the family in the future."
Tong Er said happily again: "On my way back just now, I heard many maids saying that the reason why the Chang family sent two pheasants here was to mock our Third Miss for wanting the pheasant to turn into a phoenix. Unfortunately, a pheasant is a pheasant and will never become a phoenix."
Knowing that Liu Tianshu disliked everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, Tong'er also told everyone what the servants were saying.
"Should."
Liu Tianshu smiled complacently.
"Gu Jinqing has always thought that the Chang family is a good family, but she doesn't know that they secretly look down on the Marquis' Mansion. Even if she really marries there, she won't have a good life."
Hong Er smiled and said, "It's a pity that some people only see the immediate benefits and never think about the future."
"Who says it isn't?"
Tong Er said proudly, "I think the Chang family has only been the Shangshu Mansion for a few days, and they think they are superior to others. Such people will never achieve anything great."
"That guy couldn't even defeat my good father for so many years. If Liu Tianyi hadn't caused Gu Jinyun to be injured this time, he wouldn't even have the chance to serve as acting minister for the next few days."
At this point, Liu Tianshu suddenly thought of something and said seriously, "It's been three days since the Marquis entered the palace, and there's still no definite news from the palace?"
"No, but don't worry, Madam. Many people now support Master Liu to become the Minister of Personnel again."
"Silly girl, I'm not worried about my good father. I'm just afraid that he will climb too high and fall harder."
Liu Tianshu sneered and said this, then dropped the gift list in her hand.
"Since the Chang family's New Year gift is two pheasants, what can you tell me about our return gift?"
"Madam, how about leaving this matter to the old lady to decide?"
"How?"
Liu Tianshu didn't even think about refusing.
Gu Jinqing still wanted to marry into the Chang family, so even if she was angry, she would definitely prepare sumptuous New Year gifts for her.
Preparing a New Year gift is also very energy-consuming, and Liu Tianshu doesn't want to do that.
"Tell someone to send two little wild boars to the Chang family."
"Madam, what does this mean?"
Tong'er asked curiously.
"I don't mean anything here, I don't know what the other party thinks."
"What could the two pigs mean?" Hong'er asked curiously.
"Pigs are bigger than pheasants. The old lady and the third young lady both want to prepare a generous gift for the Chang family. We naturally cannot go against their wishes. Using two pheasants to exchange for two pigs is already a generous gift."
"That's what the lady said."
Tong'er echoed.
"Madam, I will prepare it right away and make sure it is delivered to the Chang family before dark."
"Very good, go ahead and do it."
With Liu Tianshu's consent, Tong'er quickly went to prepare.
"Madam, the old lady asks you to come over."
Tong'er had just left when a little maid came to report that the old lady asked her to come over.
"Ok."
Liu Tianshu didn't care at all that she had to go there again not long after leaving Hou's place. She changed her clothes and led Hong'er to Canglan Courtyard.
When passing by the garden, he met Gu Jinhui who was leaving Hou's yard.
"Second brother, did you just leave the old lady?"
"Yes!"
Gu Jinhui bowed to Liu Tianshu.
"Second brother, do you know why the old lady wants me to come over?"
"You'll know after my sister-in-law comes over. My mother is still waiting for her in the room, so my brother won't disturb her."
After saying that, Gu Jinhui left quickly without waiting for Liu Tianshu to speak.
"Hong'er, have our people keep an eye on the Second Young Master. I feel like if he comes back, there will be more trouble in this mansion."
"Yes!"
Hong'er responded respectfully and gave a wink to a maid who was in charge of cleaning nearby. The maid quickly chased after Gu Jinhui and left.
This marquis's mansion is really leaky, even the cleaning lady can be bribed.
Tong'er withdrew her gaze and saw Liu Tianshu looking at the old woman who was leaving, with a hint of unnaturalness in her eyes.
"Madam, that man..."
