"Why are you here?" Han Zheng squatted down and touched Yi Wan's head. "Did you eat too much plain food in the mountains, so you secretly came to ask me for delicious food?"

Before Yiwan could show off the small bamboo tube stuck in the thick chest hair, Han Zheng raised his hand and called Qingfeng who was standing by the side, "Go to the big kitchen and tell them to fry three catties, no, five catties, let the big kitchen fry five catties of small fish."

Qingfeng was embarrassed: "At this weather, I don't think the kitchen will have cat fish prepared."

No one in the family has a cat, and no one likes to eat that kind of fish, so how could they always keep it on hand?

Han Zheng frowned and said, "If you don't have it, go buy it."

Then he mentioned five meat dishes in one breath and said, "Let the kitchen prepare them."

Qingfeng bowed and said "yes", thinking that it was rare for the prince to be so willful, so he quickly ran out of the yard and went to the kitchen to give orders.

Yiwan was jumping up and down happily. He didn't care about the cold weather or the people below him. He just knew that he would soon have fried fish to eat.

In the corner of the yard, a little girl with a young haircut looked over here furtively. After listening for a while, she ran away from the end of the corridor to inform Lin's yard.

Madam Hu whispered something in Lin's ear, and Lin's eyebrows stood up, "Cat? Is it the girl named Mo?"

Aunt Hu nodded.

Lin slammed the table and stood up, "This is outrageous." She wanted to go to her son's yard, but was stopped by Madam Hu.

He advised, "Madam, don't be impulsive. It's just a cat. We really don't need to do anything. The prince is not a child anymore. He will know his limits."

Lin thought for a moment and sat down again, but she said, "No matter how old he is, he is still my son. If the Duke knew that I had mobilized so many troops for a cat, he would definitely say that I was wasting my time on playing with things."

Madam Hu thought that it was just asking the kitchen staff to buy some cat fish, which was not a big deal. However, since her master had spoken, she could not refute him, so she could only try her best to persuade him, "The prince has always been diligent. Compared with those playboys in other families who are really obsessed with material things, he is much better."

Lin was very pleased to hear Madam Hu's compliments, but she was still very dissatisfied.

"A few days ago, Zheng brought most of the soldiers in his family to Baoguo Temple to rescue that girl. I felt something was wrong. After all, that girl hasn't married into our family yet. How come she has no one of her own and has to rely on us for everything? And if that girl hadn't caused trouble, County Master Shenghua would never have done that. Now, even a cat wants to eat and drink at our house when no one is here, and Zheng is still letting it do it." Lin frowned, "This time when Zheng comes back, are there still a hundred people staying in the temple to protect that girl?"

Aunt Hu nodded silently.

"He is so eager, and the Mo family still thinks we are..."

Madam Hu interrupted in time: "Madam..." She glanced outside the door and whispered, "Be careful with your words."

Lin patted her chest angrily and held back the rest of her words.

Nanny Hu went and closed the door.

"The old lady and the Duke both attach great importance to this marriage."

Lin sneered, "They are really dreaming, thinking of relying on Mo Huai to promote the children of the clan. If the children of the Han family are promising, can Mo Huai still suppress them? For example, my brother has his own ability, and he has achieved the third rank by himself. Poor my brother Zheng, he still has to please his daughter."

Nanny Hu remained silent in response to her remarks and had lost the enthusiasm to persuade her.

Ever since Zheng'er got engaged, the daughter-in-law was not chosen by Lin herself. Madam Hu's ears have become callused from hearing all the dissatisfied remarks about the Mo family's girls. She has no hope at all as Lin is not clear-headed.

Her biggest hope now is to wait for the Mo family's daughter to come in, so that the other side can give in and the two sides don't fight.

She knew her daughter's temper too well. She was also lucky to marry into the Han family. The Han family was particular about respecting the wife even if the Duke didn't like her. The old lady looked down on her even more, but she didn't say anything about taking away her housekeeper rights. Instead, she let the second wife help out.

In short, the Han family is a kind family.

It is said that a son should be taught in the hall and a wife should be taught by her husband, but the Duke and Lin were not in harmony and he had no patience to teach her.

In her early years, the old lady wanted to promote her eldest daughter-in-law, but the more she talked about it, Lin felt that others looked down on her. Later, the old lady said less and only talked about it occasionally, and her impatience was revealed. Lin didn't want to listen anymore, and she had a preconceived idea that her mother-in-law and she were not on the same page.

Therefore, over the past few decades, Lin made almost no progress. As her mother's family became more and more powerful, she became somewhat arrogant.

After being a daughter-in-law for many years, she has become a mother-in-law, so it is inevitable that she wants to suppress her daughter-in-law.

Mo Qingyang is a favorite of His Majesty. If His Majesty is willing to grant this marriage, it means that he has already brought Duke Dingguo into his camp. Only then will his family's eldest son have the opportunity to rise to prominence and be reused in the future.

Madam Hu had told Lin this truth many times, but Lin ignored it and firmly believed that all the honors she had received were due to her own efforts. So Madam Hu stopped trying to persuade her later, and the more she talked, the stronger her inner resistance became.

Lin had been inferior to the old lady for half her life. Naturally, she would not be happy if she had to be inferior to her daughter-in-law for the rest of her life. She wanted to show her authority as a mother-in-law everywhere.

In other words, the girl from the Mo family hasn’t entered the house yet. Once she enters the house, there will be a big show.

Lin said with resentment, "When that girl comes home, I will never let her keep this cat again, to prevent Zheng Ge'er from changing his temperament."

Madam Hu agreed, "Wait for Miss Mo to come in, and then we can discuss everything."

Lin snorted, "What is there to discuss? I am the mother-in-law. How dare she disobey me? It is impossible for Zheng'er to stand on her side."

Nanny Hu remained silent.

Forget it, it’s too early to say anything now. Let’s wait until next August when Miss Mo gets married.

……

In Weiruixuan, Yiwan squatted at the dining table, eating his sumptuous meal with grunts.

Han Zheng sat at the table reading the letter, one hand slowly stroking Yiwan's back. He had read this short letter over ten times.

"Wei Yunzhi..." He murmured, looking up at Yi Wan, "What does your master want to say to me?"

Yiwan looked up, and the braised sauce covered its beard and chin hair.

"Oooooooo-"

[She wants to tell you that Wei Yunzhi is a bit suspicious. But you have to understand this yourself. She doesn't want to instruct you to do things, which would make you look less capable than a woman. She mainly considers your dignity. How about it, Qiao Zhenzhen, you are considerate.]

Yiwan felt that he had gotten to know Qiao Zhenzhen quite well after spending some time with her, so when Han Zheng asked him about it, he told him about his understanding of the letter.

But unfortunately, Han Zheng didn't understand.

Yiwan didn't expect him to understand, so he said what he wanted to say and continued to eat meat.

"I'm so stupid. What's the point of asking you when you can't tell me the answer." Han Zheng laughed at himself and rubbed Yiwan's head.

Yi Wan got used to it and blew out a breath from his nose, "Mee——"
