Mingzhu said shyly, "Hearing Yingying say that, I'm relieved. Before, I was thinking, was I being a little too..."
"Actually, you're a bit too much," Ren Yingying said.
Mingzhu: "..."
Ren Yingying patted her shoulder. "Silly girl, if a man loves you more, you won't suffer so much. Don't love him too much; give some love to yourself."
She was practically saying she was still standing on the Old Cabbage Stalk.
At least that person is treating Mingzhu very well now.
But what's up with the Old Cabbage Stalk?!
You have to follow the script!
You should channel your domineering CEO persona, and arrogantly declare, "Woman, you can't escape me, you're mine!"
And the result?
That guy has vanished without a trace.
You look like cannon fodder no matter how you look at it. How can you face me, who secretly supported you?
What a complete idiot!
I told you to get out, so get out! What business is it of yours?
Cannon fodder fate!
puffed up in anger!
She and Xiu'er are a gossip duo, but she's a bit more imaginative than Xiu'er, and she loves to write sequels to the gossip.
Unfortunately, he guesses correctly far too rarely.
Mingzhu felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and lowered her head, saying, "Sister Yingying, it's really difficult. I want to be nicer to Cui Run, but I have to weigh so many things."
"Hey, if you really like him, why worry about all that! He likes you too, he won't mind if you burp or fart."
It's easier to be in a relationship when you're together.
"Mm." Mingzhu nodded with a smile, "If I don't understand something in the future, I'll just ask Sister Yingying."
Ren Yingying patted her chest and said, "No problem, after all, I've dated eight men, so I'm quite experienced."
Qu Nian: Seriously, if you keep spouting nonsense about eight men, I'll tear your mouth apart sooner or later!
Is one of them true?
"Your Highness, Miss Huo, we've arrived at the Silver Shop," the coachman said.
"Let's get off the bus."
Ren Yingying, Mingzhu, and Jinse, who was silent as if she didn't exist, got out of the car together, Yanran also got out of the car with Wu Yu.
"A jewelry store," Yanran looked up, her interest waning, "There's nothing to see."
Mingzhu smiled and said, "I'll go with my aunt to take a look. I was thinking of buying you some jewelry."
"I don't want any," Yanran said. "I have too much now. There are a lot of people over there, it looks like a magic show. I'll take Wu Yu to see what's going on."
Mingzhu was still worried. "Then let's go together first, and then go to the jewelry store after we've looked around."
"Okay," Yanran agreed, knowing that her mother was worried about her.
The group headed towards the magic show, but unexpectedly encountered Wu Zhenhai.
Mingzhu paused for a moment, then nodded to Wu Zhenhai with a normal expression.
Wu Zhenhai's face flushed slightly, whether from excitement or something else, and he didn't know where to look.
Wu Yu gripped Yanran's sleeve tightly, sobbing softly.
Yanran: "... Grandma, why are you crying again! Your father isn't here to take you away!"
She still believed he was being robbed of her aunt.
Wu Zhenhai: "... You guys, be careful, try to avoid crowded places. I... I have something to do, I'll be going now."
After saying that, he practically fled.
He hasn't gone to see Mingzhu these past few days.
He didn't want her to hate him.
Although she was truly heartbroken, Mingzhu had made it very clear that she had found someone she liked.
He had also investigated, and the man she liked Cui Run, was indeed a gentle and refined gentleman.
Qu Nian also confirmed this for the Prince of Jin.
In private, Cui Run is gentle, humble yet assertive, diligent and hardworking, a rare and exceptional young talent.
Even the Great Confucian Scholar Kong praised him highly and made an exception to allow him to attend the lecture.
In reality, they only lacked the formal title of master and disciple, yet they had the de facto master-disciple relationship.
Wu Zhenhai felt that he had nothing to compare with Cui Run.
No matter their background, age, or personality, they can't compare.
Mingzhu and Cui Run are a perfect match.
--What a painful realization.
But that is the truth.
I never expected to run into someone like this on the street.
He fled in a sorry state.
After Wu Zhenhai had walked quite a distance, his servant, panting heavily, chased after him and cautiously asked, "Sir, aren't we going to the South City?"
Why are we heading north now?
Wu Zhenhai: "... I suddenly thought I'd come and check it out. It's nothing."
servant. "Oh."
Then take your time looking at it. The way you were acting just now was quite embarrassing.
The group of people who were shopping watched the magic trick and browsed the jewelry store.
Next, Yanran wanted to eat something, but Yingying hadn't had enough of shopping.
"Okay," Yingying said, reluctant to leave the fabric shop, "Mingzhu, you take them to eat first, and I'll pick some more."
Mingzhu smiled and agreed, then took the two children and left first.
Yingying, with Jinse by her side, carefully selected fabrics in the shop, occasionally gesturing to Jinse to show off her. "No, this one is too red, it's tacky... This one's good, give us two, I think all five of us would look good in them, let's make one for each of us!"
It was an hour later when I came out of the cloth shop.
Qu Nian was getting impatient.
He never knew women had such a complicated way of choosing things!
"Let's go," Yingying said contentedly, feeling like the whole world was hers after spending the money. "Get in the car, let's go meet them. Dog Meat, get in the car!"
Don't let its clumsy appearance and short legs fool you; it's quite adept at getting on a Dog Meat -drawn carriage.
The two men and their dog boarded the carriage and were calculating their day's earnings when suddenly a scream came from outside, and the horses pulling the carriage began to gallop wildly.
Ren Yingying was caught off guard and was thrown out.
Qu Nian leaped up and bit her pants.
Jinse also realized what was happening and grabbed her other trouser leg tightly.
Ren Yingying: I was so scared that I didn't even notice it was getting cold...
"Ahhhhhh--" Ren Yingying's scream almost lifted the roof off the carriage.
The coachman was well-trained; while struggling to drive the carriage, he used his elbow to push Ren Yingying backward.
Ren Yingying: Thank you!
It's better to feel pain than to fall.
The horse pulled the cart recklessly, overturning countless roadside stalls, yet it continued its mad dash.
When the carriage stopped, it had already rushed to an unknown location; the surrounding area was desolate.
The driver raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat with his sleeve, only to find that his hands were already bruised and red from the reins.
But he still breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Princess Consort, we're safe."
Ren Yingying said, "I want to get off the bus, I'm going to throw up!"
Her legs felt Ruanruan as she got out of the car and leaned against a tree to vomit.
Today is truly an unlucky day; even going out can startle a horse.
"Jinse, how are you?" she asked weakly.
"I'm fine. Are you alright, Your Highness?" Jinse was tuning her pipa, her expression stern.
Ren Yingying: "What happened? Did you break your pipa? We'll buy a new one later, don't worry about it."
She knew about the pipa; it wasn't the treasure Jinse brought into the palace, but rather something added later.
Jinse didn't speak, but a hint of sternness appeared on her face.
Ren Yingying:???
Why did she think Jinse was going to turn evil?
At the same time, Qu Nian started barking wildly.
