The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 114: Stepmother

After dinner, Tang Peipei asked Liu Yeling to accompany Lu Lifeng directly back home.

Liu Yeling knew that this was her niece's good intention, so she did not refuse and directly took her husband back.

When Tang Peipei returned to the store, Wanniang had already finished eating and was sitting in the lobby waiting.

Seeing Tang Peipei coming back, he looked behind Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei smiled and said, "No need to look, my aunt has already taken my uncle home to rest."

When Wanniang heard that Lu Lifeng had left, she was at a loss.

Seeing that Tang Peipei looked difficult to talk to, he even seemed to be trembling a little.

Tang Peipei sneered, "I didn't bully you, why do you look like you've been wronged? If people see you like this, won't they misunderstand you?"

Wanniang's face turned red, and she didn't know how to respond to Tang Peipei's words, so she just stood there silently.

Seeing her like that, Tang Peipei disliked this woman very much, but thinking that she was brought back by her uncle, she had to deal with it no matter what, to avoid any trouble later.

Tang Peipei said: "Come with me."

Tang Peipei took his stepmother into the backyard and went to the house where Tang Peipei usually rested.

Tang Peipei still politely poured a glass of water for Wan Niang and said, "Sit down and talk."

Wanniang seemed a little restrained, or perhaps a little at a loss.

Tang Peipei asked, "Why did you have to follow my uncle to the capital?"

Stepmother said shyly: "I was saved by Big Brother Lu. I have nowhere to go and I have no ability to repay Big Brother Lu's kindness. I can only think about working like a cow or a horse for Big Brother Lu in the future to repay him."

As he said this, he actually knelt down towards Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her suddenly kneeling down, but because of the long-term teaching by the two maids, she was able to control the discomfort in her heart to some extent.

All I heard was that night mother crying, "Miss, please, please keep me and let me serve Brother Lu and Sister-in-law well in the future!"

Tang Peipei didn't know what words to use to describe her feelings at the moment. What kind of person was this? How could a niece like her make the decision on such a matter? And he even came to beg her?

Tang Peipei asked her coldly, "Do you want to be my uncle's aunt?"

When Wanniang heard Tang Peipei's question, she forgot to cry for a moment and stared at Tang Peipei blankly, but there was a hint of joy in her heart.

He said, "Don't worry, young lady. I will never cause any trouble. I will serve Brother Lu and Sister well for the rest of my life."

Tang Peipei was so angry that she laughed, "Wan Niang, does my uncle know your feelings?"

Wan Niang said shyly, "I haven't told Brother Lu about this yet."

Tang Peipei felt that this person was really shameless, he hadn't done anything bad yet, he was calling her sister, but now he changed his name and called her slave directly!

Tang Peipei was too lazy to say more to this person, and said directly: "Wan Niang, it's a good thing you didn't say it. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. My uncle will not take a concubine. If you feel like finding a support in the future, I will help you find a reliable husband's family."

When Wanniang heard Tang Peipei say that Lu Lifeng would not take a concubine, she became a little anxious.

Said: "Girl, girl, please don't chase me away, I will really be obedient and will never cause any trouble."

Tang Peipei looked at her coldly and said, "Wan Niang, isn't it better to find you a reliable husband's family and let you be the main wife than to be my uncle's concubine?"

Of course, Wanniang was unwilling in her heart. She felt that Tang Peipei would definitely not find a rich man for her. She was afraid that he would just find her a man from a poor family.

Being the wife of a poor family is not as good as being the concubine of a rich family. At least she will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life. Maybe she can even wear gold and silver and live the life of a lady.

Although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't say it directly, so I could only grit my teeth and be determined to repay the favor.

Then she cried and said, "Miss, it would be good to be the wife. But my life was saved by Brother Lu, I have to stay here to repay Brother Lu, even if I have to be a maid. Please, miss! Please, please let me stay!"

Tang Peipei felt a headache from her crying. How could she get into trouble by saving someone?

If we really take this person back there, there will be no peace at home.

Tang Peipei felt very scared at the thought. She had to drive the person away quickly, otherwise there would be big trouble.

However, Tang Peipei had never dealt with such a thing before, and for a moment she didn't know how to deal with such a person.

Tang Peipei's clothing store is still quite famous now, and even many noble families in Beijing will ask Tang Peipei to make custom-made clothes for them.

Today, Princess Qinghe heard someone talking about it and thought that she had never been to Tang Peipei's clothing store. She had nothing to do, so she wanted to come and take a look.

When Tang Peipei was worried, she heard someone coming from the front saying, "Boss, Princess Qinghe is here."

Tang Peipei really didn't expect that Princess Qinghe would come to her shop, and she wanted to go to greet her quickly.

Stepmother, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned.

Princess, she is a descendant of the royal family, and yet she comes to Brother Lu’s store to buy clothes.

This made Wanniang even more determined to stay.

He quickly stood up and followed Tang Peipei out the door and came to the shop in front.

The waiter stepped forward and said to Tang Peipei, "Master, I have brought Princess Qinghe to the private room. She is waiting there."

Tang Peipei nodded, "Okay, go and make a pot of the Rainy Day Longjing tea I just bought, and then go to Chenlou on North Street to buy some cakes. Remember to buy the Yunpian Cake."

The waiter nodded and went out to buy cakes.

Tang Peipei was about to go upstairs when she saw her stepmother following her.

He held his forehead and said, "Why are you following me? I don't have time to settle you down now. You can wait in the backyard."

Unexpectedly, that night, my mother said, "Miss, I know how to entertain guests. I will help you entertain the distinguished guests."

Tang Peipei glared angrily and said, "You also know that you are an honored guest. How can you be so presumptuous here? Go back to the backyard quickly."

After saying that, he went upstairs without waiting for her to speak.

Seeing that she didn't catch up with him, Tang Peipei ignored her.

As soon as Tang Peipei entered, she heard Princess Qinghe call her, "Hurry up and sit down and talk to me."

Tang Peipei walked forward, sat down below Princess Qinghe, and asked, "Princess, why are you here today? You didn't ask anyone to tell me in advance so that I could prepare food for you!"

Princess Qinghe said, "I just suddenly remembered and came to see you. I heard you sound like you were scolding someone just now. Is there something wrong?"

Tang Peipei didn't expect that Princess Qinghe actually heard it, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

This is her future mother-in-law, what can she say?

Seeing that Tang Peipei seemed a little embarrassed, Princess Qinghe asked, "What's wrong? Can't you tell me?"

Tang Peipei shook her head and said, "No, I can't tell you." After a pause, thinking that there was nothing to hide, Princess Qinghe thought that maybe she could help her get some attention, so she said, "It's like this, my uncle came back today and said that he saved a woman on the road. He gave her money and let her make a living, but the woman insisted on repaying her gratitude and followed my uncle all the way to the capital. I wanted to find a suitable husband for her, which would be considered saving her life, but the woman was unwilling and insisted on staying, saying that she wanted to repay her gratitude and stay to work like a cow and a horse for my uncle. I really don't know how to deal with this matter."

After Tang Peipei said this, Princess Qinghe knew what the woman was thinking.

He sneered and said, "That's easy. Go and call the person up."

Seeing Princess Qinghe's attitude, Tang Peipei thought that she might want to help her deal with this person, so she happily asked someone to go.
