Quick Wear: The heroine is a top-level boss
Chapter 12 The Real Gold Heroine Who Was Counterattacked 12
Zhao Laicai even said flatteringly, "Madam, don't worry, go and see the eldest lady. I will make sure everything is ready at the door."
Mu Beichen's preference made Zhao Laicai not feel that he was just a servant, but what it meant to be responsible for welcoming the prince back home. He felt confident that he had the face to do so.
So when the palace steward Li Chang turned cold in the face of Zhao Laicai who came towards him enthusiastically, Zhao Laicai was so confused that he had no idea why Li Chang was angry.
Li Chang was also convinced. In the past, the prince was too lenient towards the people in the Marquis' Mansion, which led to the servants in the Marquis' Mansion being so tactless. What day is today? He actually dared to let a butler come to greet them.
Not to mention that his master is a prince, even if an ordinary son-in-law comes home, it doesn't make sense to send a servant to greet him. Who would that be embarrassing?
Li Chang looked cold and glared at the confused Zhao Laicai, then turned around and said respectfully to the carriage, "Your Majesty, Princess, the Anping Marquis's Mansion did not send anyone to greet you."
Su Xing lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced at the open middle door of Anping Marquis's Mansion, and said calmly: "Since the mansion does not welcome me and the prince, let's return the same way."
Li Chang glanced at Mu Beichen, who was sitting there like a wooden man, and said immediately, "I understand. I will have someone turn around and return home right away."
When Zhao Laicai saw the carriage about to turn around, he suddenly became anxious and hurried forward to stop it, saying anxiously: "Your Majesty, why are you in such a hurry to leave when you just arrived?"
Su Xing sat upright in the carriage, closing her eyes to rest, and ignored Zhao Laicai who tried to stop the carriage. She was just a servant, and it would be cheap for her to argue with him.
Since Su Xing didn't speak, Mu Beichen, who was controlled by her, naturally couldn't speak either.
Li Chang took the initiative to stop Zhao Laicai and said coldly: "The Marquis' Mansion is so disrespectful to the prince and princess, it is contemptuous of the royal family, wait for the explanation to the Zongzheng Mansion."
The Zongzhengfu is in charge of matters concerning the royal family. If the matter is brought to the Zongzhengfu, there will be no way to resolve it peacefully.
Zhao Laicai's face turned pale with fright. All along, Li Chang had treated him as an equal.
But there is a third-rank official in front of the prime minister, not to mention Li Chang, the steward of a powerful prince. Even court officials would not easily offend him, and there is no shortage of people who flatter him.
All these fostered Li Chang's arrogance and aura. Although he was humble and modest in front of Suxing Mu Beichen, when it came to facing outsiders, his aura was not even comparable to that of some minor officials.
In the past, Zhao Laicai didn't feel anything when Li Chang didn't put on airs. But now that Li Chang has a cold face, Zhao Laicai even feels oppressed by his own marquis.
She no longer dared to smile playfully, and knelt down, kowtowed to Mu Beichen with a pale face and begged for mercy: "Prince, please don't leave for the sake of my eldest daughter."
Obviously, even at this time, Zhao Laicai did not take Su Xing seriously, and it was Mu Beichen who pleaded for him.
Mu Beichen wanted to say that he didn't care, but now he could control every part of his body except his eyes. He couldn't even control his little finger, let alone speak.
Since Su Xing didn't say anything, Li Chang automatically understood that the prince and princess were still angry and didn't want to pay any attention to Zhao Laicai.
As a good servant who cared about his superiors' wishes, Li Chang immediately turned cold and said, "If you block the carriage of the prince and princess, I think you don't want to live anymore. Get out of the way."
"Brother Beichen."
A hesitant voice was heard, and Zhao Yanzhen, looking aggrieved and sad, stood in front of the carriage.
Zhao Yanzhen stared at Mu Beichen in the carriage, looking very sad.
"Brother Beichen, can you please not leave? My hand was injured just now, and Daddy and Mommy were anxious to see me, so they didn't come to greet Brother Beichen. It wasn't intentional neglect."
As she spoke, Zhao Yanzhen hid her hands in an attempt to cover up her mistake. It seemed like she was hiding, but in fact she was letting Mu Beichen see her hands wrapped in white cloth clearly.
A look of heartache flashed in Mu Beichen's eyes. He looked at Su Xing with dissatisfaction, but Su Xing ignored him and simply closed his eyes, pretending not to see.
Under Su Xing's control, Mu Beichen spoke coldly, "Did your hand get chopped off? Why did you make such a fuss over a small wound?"
Zhao Yanzhen stared at Mu Beichen with eyes wide open in disbelief, unable to imagine that these were the words Mu Beichen would say to her.
But seeing Mu Beichen's unprecedented cold expression, Zhao Yanzhen's heart sank in an instant.
Zhao Yanzhen felt depressed when she glanced at Su Xing, who was sitting in the carriage with her eyes closed, allowing Mu Beichen to embarrass her.
The last time she stopped a carriage, her bad premonition came true.
Mu Beichen really fell in love with Zhao Suxing in such a short time, and he didn't even have any residual feelings for her, otherwise he wouldn't be so disrespectful to her.
Zhao Ze, who had been silent behind and came out with Zhao Yanzhen, saw Mu Beichen making things difficult for Zhao Yanzhen and hurried forward to help.
"It's our fault for forgetting that today is the prince's return gift. Please don't mind it, dear son-in-law."
Zhao Ze's call of "good son-in-law" was to remind Mu Beichen that he was his father-in-law, and even though he had neglected the royal family, he was still his son-in-law after all, so he shouldn't take it too seriously.
At the same time, Zhao Ze looked at Su Xing, who had been sitting in the carriage and commanding Mu Beichen to charge into battle. He suppressed his dissatisfaction with Zhao Su Xing for instigating Mu Beichen to cause trouble, and tried to look at her with a friendly expression.
"Su Xing, hurry up and get off the car. Your sister has specially cooked a table of delicious dishes to entertain you and the prince today. Yan Zhen even injured her hand in order to cook this table of dishes."
Zhao Ze said the last sentence deliberately for Mu Beichen to hear. His purpose was naturally to arouse Mu Beichen's heartache. Zhao Ze felt that based on how nervous Mu Beichen had been towards Zhao Yanzhen in the past, he would definitely feel distressed.
Mrs. Bai also spoke up: "Yes, Your Highness, our Yanzhen has lost a lot of blood. This child is well-intentioned and wants to cook for Your Highness herself." Obviously, Mrs. Bai, like Zhao Ze, wanted to arouse Mu Beichen's sympathy for Zhao Yanzhen.
There was indeed a flash of distress and nervousness in Mu Beichen's eyes, and he even couldn't help but look at Zhao Yanzhen's injured hand.
However, Mu Beichen's words were very cold: "Is there no cook in the mansion? Let the eldest lady of the mansion cook by herself."
Zhao Yanzhen's eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at Mu Beichen with sad and accusing eyes. Mu Beichen avoided Zhao Yanzhen's heartbreaking eyes and glared at Su Xing with anger.
Su Xing stood up and leaned close to Mu Beichen's ear. To Zhao Ze, Bai Shi and Zhao Yanzhen, this scene just seemed like two people were whispering to each other in front of so many people without paying any attention to who was around.
Zhao Yanzhen's tears finally fell. Bai hugged Zhao Yanzhen distressedly. She secretly glared at Su Xing but did not dare to speak.
If Su Xing was the only one here, Bai would step forward and scold Su Xing without hesitation, but now that Mu Beichen is here, Bai dare not be presumptuous, because she knows that she cannot afford to offend Mu Beichen, who is very afraid of the strong and bullies the weak.
The atmosphere between the two people, who were thought to be close to each other, was not ambiguous or charming at all.
Because Su Xing leaned close to Mu Beichen's ear and said, "If you dare to look at me like that again, I will control Zhao Yanzhen to dig out your eyes."
