After rebirth, I will be the royal aunt to the scumbag

Chapter 458 Deliberately hiding from me

It's a pity that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, and Xue Jinruo didn't want to put too much pressure on her.

……

Finally, early the next morning, Xue Jinruo gave a few more instructions, and Liuli followed Mr. Hu onto the carriage.

Although he went through several interrogations along the way, he finally arrived at the Prince's Mansion without any danger.

At the banquet, Liuli danced and turned to the prince's side, poured a glass of wine for Sheng Chengjie, and then greeted him charmingly.

"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Sheng Chengjie was originally very depressed, just drinking alone, but suddenly saw Liuli's face, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

After all, Liuli was not from the Central Plains, and her appearance was somewhat different from that of the women here. Sheng Chengjie, who was used to seeing Central Plains women, immediately felt very surprised.

"you……"

Just when Sheng Chengjie was about to reach out and touch Liuli, she gave a sweet smile and then returned to the crowd to continue dancing, but her eyes fell on Sheng Chengjie intentionally or unintentionally.

This feeling of playing hard to get but refusing to welcome immediately made Sheng Chengjie even more excited.

"Okay!" He shouted after taking a big sip of wine, and then praised Master Hu: "Master Hu, you did a great job today! I just don't know, what is that woman's name?"

"Which one is your Highness the Prince talking about?" Mr. Hu deliberately pretended to be confused.

"That's it, that... forget it, my highness will ask in person later!" Sheng Chengjie pointed for a long time, but Liuli deliberately played hide and seek with him, sometimes hiding in the crowd, teasing Sheng Chengjie to no avail, and finally decided Ask yourself.

"As long as His Highness likes it, these things are also dedicated to His Highness. I think they will be enough to fill the hole in the household department."

Sheng Chengjie followed Mr. Hu's gesture and saw a box full of gold next to him. He suddenly became even more happy. He patted Mr. Hu on the shoulder and said: "Sir Hu is really the pillar of the country. When His Highness takes the throne, he will definitely be the pillar of the country." I won’t treat you badly, Mr. Hu.”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken seriously, and I am willing to do my best for His Highness!" Mr. Hu hurriedly bowed and said.

Sheng Chengjie laughed suddenly, but his eyes did not leave Liuli at all.

Mr. Hu saw the opportunity and left the Prince's Mansion with gratitude.

……

Mr. Hu walked in a hurry, and he visibly breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the Prince's Mansion.

He hurriedly arrived at the teahouse he had agreed with Xue Jinruo. As expected, people were already waiting inside the teahouse.

He smiled happily and cupped his hands: "Today's affairs are really more about the regent princess. Let me show my face in front of the prince. In the future, even if your Xue family wants to switch sides and join the prince, there will be no way out. .”

Seeing his face like this, Xue Jinruo couldn't help but feel sick, but she didn't show it.

"Thanks to Master Hu for dealing with this matter, otherwise those dancers, no matter how capable they are, would not be able to enter the Prince's Mansion." Xue Jinruo complimented, and after finishing the tea in front of him, he walked in Let’s get to the point, “Now that the money you owe to the Ministry of Accounts has been settled, should the marriage between Miss Hu and my second brother continue?”

She had already lost her patience with this marriage.

Mr. Hu has already tasted the sweetness, and naturally he will not stop easily.

He waved his hand quickly: "This is not okay, Princess Regent, I am trying to please the prince. If you suddenly ask two families to get married, the prince will definitely doubt my sincerity. Then the gains will not be worth the losses, and the Xue family will also suffer. "

"It's better to wait a little longer."

Mr. Hu thought that he had already taken control of the Xue family. As long as his daughter was around, no matter what unreasonable request he made, the Xue family would agree.

Unfortunately, Xue Jinruo's patience was completely worn out.

She raised her hand, knocked the table in front of her to the ground, and said leisurely: "Mr. Hu, this marriage was decided many years ago. Your Hu family has regretted it time and time again. We care about Miss Hu's My affection has not made things difficult for you, but now you want to make things difficult for us. In this case, I think this marriage will be cancelled."

Master Hu was frightened by this move.

Although he had long heard about Xue Jinruo's abilities, he never expected that he would see it with his own eyes.

Besides, he just wanted to get some benefits from it. If the marriage really had to be annulled, his daughter's life would definitely be at stake.

As a result, he quickly put on a smile and said: "Princess, look at us talking so well, why did you fall out?"

"As for the marriage, you will inform General Xue after I go back and discuss it with my wife." Mr. Hu did not dare to talk nonsense anymore and could only ask for mercy.

Xue Jinruo sneered, unwilling to listen to his nonsense anymore.

She stood up with stern eyes: "Master Hu, our Xue family's crimes have been cleared away. Now all the dynasties are eyeing him. It won't be long before my father will be reinstated. By then, if you, the Hu family, want to come again, I’m afraid it will be difficult to marry into our family.”

"This...this..." Mr. Hu obviously did not consider this.

The smile on Xue Jinruo's face deepened. When he passed by him, he didn't forget to pat his shoulder: "I will give you a three-day deadline. If the marriage is not settled yet, then it will be cancelled, and the gold I gave you will also be cancelled." It cannot be regarded as a betrothal gift, but something that your Hu family owes me. When the time comes, I will report it to His Majesty, and I would like to see how you explain it."

She snorted coldly, turned and left.

Mr. Hu's legs softened and he knelt down directly.

……

Xue Jinruo didn't stop any longer and went straight back to the palace. As soon as she passed the second door, she saw Sheng Jingze drinking tea in the main hall.

She touched her nose, then turned around and walked to the right, preferring to take a long way around rather than see him.

Just after taking a few steps, a voice came from the main hall: "Is the princess hiding from me on purpose?"

Xue Jinruo paused and could only turn back and walked into the main hall.

After entering, Sheng Jingze took a sip of tea and said, "This tea just came out this year. Can you try it together, Princess?"

When the Xue family was in trouble, the son-in-law Sheng Jingze did a lot of work.

The more Shen Xiangqin looked at him, the better she felt. Seeing Xue Jinruo trying to force Sheng Jingze, she couldn't help but whisper: "Jin'er, the prince came here specially to take you back today. You have also stayed at your parents' house for several days. It’s time to go back, don’t ask the prince to make this trip in vain.”

"Mom, there are still many unresolved matters in the house. I want to go back after finishing them." Xue Jinruo said sarcastically.

She had been avoiding eye contact with Sheng Jingze, and even found the worst excuses. .
