Chapter 344 The Princess Wants to Play Badly 40
Danzhu wanted to say something, but Mingnan winked at them and waved his hand, and Biqing pulled Danzhu out.
This is what it means to not want accountability.
The cold and handsome man's expression changed slightly, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped.
Mingnan sat up straight, stroked his sleeves slowly, and said nothing, but the invisible pressure dissipated instantly.
Old Mrs. Xu's crying gradually became weaker. She held the handkerchief and quietly glanced at Mingnan.
Unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed by Mingnan.
Old Mrs. Xu was startled. Mingnan curled his lips at her. The face that looked so much like Xu Siyuan made her dazed for a moment.
Mingnan glanced at the two husbands and asked softly, "Why? The old lady is half my elder, so it's okay for her not to kneel. But what are your status? It's fine if you don't bow, but you are lecturing me? Who taught you the rules?"
When she spoke the last sentence, her tone suddenly became sharp. The two husbands were startled and knelt down quickly.
Old Mrs. Xu's face turned green instantly. Just as she was about to speak, a clear and smiling voice suddenly came from outside.
"Who has displeased our Lord? Why is he so angry?"
Several people in the room turned their heads to look.
Then a tall and handsome man in a red robe walked in leisurely.
As he approached, the whole room became brighter.
He was holding a tray in his hand, on which was placed a pink porcelain cup with a twined flower pattern, which looked extremely delicate and beautiful.
Old Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes and didn't speak rashly.
Xie Wuyu walked straight to the couch without looking around, placed the teacup in front of Mingnan, and said softly, "You must be tired after reading for the whole morning. Have some tea to wake yourself up."
After saying that, he sat down opposite, put the bookmark on the book Mingnan had been reading and put it aside, then picked up the small tasseled fan and gently fanned Mingnan.
Mingnan's expression softened immediately and he looked at him, "Thank you, my Lord."
Old Mrs. Xu pursed her lips into a straight line. She felt unhappy but couldn't get angry, so she glanced at the two husbands.
The husband immediately turned to Xie Wuyu and said, "Xu Zhi (Xu Ting) pays respects to the Wang Fu."
Xie Wu Yu then glanced at them with his eyes downcast, and curled his lips for a while, "You are so pretty, it seems that the soil and water in South City are good for people."
Old Madam Xu said, "After all, he is still not as handsome as Wang Fu."
"No need to be polite. It's not proper to kneel all the time. It makes it seem like the king is mistreating you. So which sons of the Xu family are these two?"
Xie Wu Yu looked at her with a smile, his tone gentle, as if he was chatting casually.
Old Madam Xu's expression suddenly changed, "This... they are not legitimate sons."
Xu Zhi and Xu Ting had just stood up when they heard this, and their expressions looked a little embarrassed.
Xu Zhi was able to keep his composure, lowered his head slightly, and said nothing. But Xu Ting said with a stern face, "I am from the Xu family's side branch, not the main family's legitimate son. The king's wife has misunderstood."
"So that's how it is." Xie Wu Yu smiled slightly.
Seeing him like this, the three thought he had a good temper and were about to try to get close to him, but they didn't expect Xie Wuyu to easily expose their shame -
"Since he is not the master's legitimate son, what are you bringing him here for?"
Old Mrs. Xu blushed and stared at him in disbelief.
Even if most people knew about this kind of thing, they would not ask directly because both parties wanted to save face.
How can we get along with each other in the future if he exposes it directly like this?
Xu Zhi and Xu Ting suddenly felt embarrassed. Xu Ting gritted his teeth and looked at Ming Nan, "Lord Wang, please say something."
Mingnan raised his eyebrows, "My husband and I are one, and what he asked is what I want to know."
She slowly scanned the three people, finally stopping at Old Lady Xu.
Before she could speak, Old Lady Xu suddenly lifted up her skirt and knelt down straight.
Mingnan paused while drinking tea and exchanged glances with Xie Wuyu.
Was this something they were planning to force in after being exposed?
Mingnan asked knowingly, "What are you doing, old lady? You are so old, if you get hurt by kneeling, it will be my fault. Hurry up and get up."
Xie Wuyu also asked: "What are you two doing standing there?"
Xu Zhi and Xu Ting looked at each other, and Old Lady Xu shook her head, "You two should kneel down too."
"Yes."
The two men then knelt behind Old Lady Xu, lowering their heads, looking weak and pitiful.
"Since the prince has asked, I will risk my dignity and speak frankly."
Old Madam Xu stared at Mingnan with her eyes piercing, and said tremblingly, "Lord, you have actually been resenting us in your heart all these years, right? Resenting us for not caring about you and leaving you alone in that cold palace."
Mingnan put down the teacup, smiled meaningfully, but said nothing.
Old Madam Xu was certain that she was holding a grudge against him, and hurriedly explained, "But we have no choice!"
She burst into tears, "It's not that we didn't want to stay and support the king, but Feng Jun didn't allow us to get close to you. The gifts we sent during the holidays never reached you. You were still young at that time and didn't understand anything, so you naturally don't remember these things."
"Later, we were forced to move back to our ancestral home, but we always thought of you in our hearts..."
Old Mrs. Xu was still chattering on, from Mingnan to Xu Siyuan, and then from Xu Siyuan back to Mingnan, repeating the same thing over and over again.
To sum it up, it’s actually just three sentences: “We are always thinking about you and your father”, “We have our own difficulties”, and “You have to understand us”.
Xie Wu Yu lowered his eyes to hide the boredom in them.
He suddenly put down the fan in his hand, and the fan fell on the table with a loud noise.
The three people kneeling on the ground were startled. Old Mrs. Xu suddenly tried to hold back the sound, but couldn't hold it back and burped violently.
Mingnan quickly turned his head and covered his mouth as if unintentionally.
Old Madam Xu's face turned even redder with anger. She suppressed her anger and looked at Xie Wuyu, "I wonder if Mr. Wang has any advice for you?"
"Teach me?" Xie Wuyu smiled. "You asked for it, so I can't refuse. I can only teach you."
He sat on the edge of the couch, one hand on his legs and the other on the low table, his posture was upright, his brows were clear, and his demeanor was awe-inspiring.
That kind of nobility is the result of growing up in a luxurious environment, accumulated over time.
It's so natural that it makes people feel ashamed of themselves.
"Old lady, you keep saying that you are thinking about our king and father, but what are you thinking about?"
"What you call caring is that you have ignored me for so many years, but now you are eager to come to me as soon as I get a new home?"
"Or are you eager to make connections as soon as you get here, and want to push people into other people's backyards without even asking?"
Xie Wu Yu glanced at Xu Zhi and Xu Ting, and sneered, "You two are from the side branches of the Xu family. I'm giving you face by calling you Young Masters. Do you really think you are so rich?"
Xu Ting's eyes suddenly widened, "You——"
Xu Zhi couldn't bear it any longer, his eyes were slightly red, and he raised his face stubbornly, "Wang Fu, although we are not as noble as you, we are not people who can be humiliated!"
Xie Wu Yu ignored them and his eyes fell on Old Lady Xu again.
