Chapter 115: The Furious Lady of Pingnan
"We appreciate your kindness, but we still want to go and take a look ourselves. If we find something we like, we can buy it. It will be considered an inheritance in the future."
Without waiting for Princess Ning to finish her words, Yuxiu smiled and refused. No matter whether the other person was kind-hearted or just pretending, she didn't take it to heart.
Although she knew that housing prices in the capital were not cheap, with the gold and silver in her space now, she would not feel any pressure at all to buy eight or ten houses, let alone a single one.
Not only that, once the news spread that Cui had cured the old princess with just one move, so many wealthy families in the capital would rush to her door with large sums of money.
"What the young lady said is true. Then I will let Mother Qiu accompany you there. She has lived in the capital for decades and is very familiar with every place in the capital. No one outside can fool her."
Seeing that the other party was determined to go out and buy a house by herself, Princess Ning did not dare to keep her, so she called Mother Qiu over and whispered a few words to her. Mother Qiu listened quietly, agreed promptly, and quickly went downstairs to prepare.
Yuxiu and Cui looked at each other, both of them showing satisfaction with Princess Ning's attitude.
Because they drank the spiritual spring water, their hearing and eyesight are much sharper than that of ordinary people. Even though Princess Ning spoke very softly just now, they still heard it clearly.
"You have worked so hard today. Why don't you stay and have a simple meal before leaving? Let us at Prince Ning's Mansion show our hospitality as hosts."
Princess Ning wanted to keep the three of them to have dinner together first. This was not just a polite remark on her part. The housekeeper had already gone downstairs to prepare it, so if they went there now, they would be able to have dinner quickly.
"The old princess needs acupuncture for another two days. If you don't mind us, we will come to your house tomorrow to bother you."
Cui looked at Yuxiu, which meant that she could come to Prince Ning's mansion for dinner tomorrow.
"You guys have honored us by coming here, which is a great honor to our Ning Wang Mansion. How could we find it annoying?"
Not to mention that they didn't come here to eat for free, but to treat the old lady's illness, which was something they wished for.
The group walked outside, and when they were about to reach the front door, Princess Ning thought for a moment, and then gritted her teeth and spoke:
"My third brother's wife was indeed reckless today. Madam Cui, please give her some antidote because she has already been punished."
If word got out that the third wife of Prince Ning's wife had become like that, outsiders would laugh at her, and it would also be a joke for the entire Prince Ning's Mansion, making everyone lose face.
"It's not a difficult thing. The Queen asked someone to get her a laxative. She will be fine after two days of diarrhea."
Cui pursed her lips and smiled, waved to Princess Ning, said goodbye, and walked out with her people.
Someone had already prepared a carriage outside. Mother Qiu, carrying a small bag, was standing beside the carriage. When she saw several people coming, she bowed quickly.
"I pay my respects to the master, and to Madam Cui and the young lady."
Cui quickly called her to stand up and said a few polite words to her.
Yuxiu helped Cui get on the carriage. Seeing that Mother Qiu was standing there respectfully and looked a little nervous, she kindly reminded her.
"Don't worry, Mom Qiu. You can go back when we have made all the arrangements."
They were also planning to buy some servants. In this dynasty, buying and selling slaves and servants was a very normal thing, just like buying a piece of jewelry today and a new piece of clothing tomorrow.
Moreover, no matter what needs to be done manually, whether it is sewing or washing, Yuxiu is too impatient to do those things, so it would be more convenient to buy some little maids to serve her.
Anyway, they provide people with food, drink, shelter, and monthly wages, so it's mutually beneficial and extremely reasonable.
"These servants all understand. Madam, just tell me what you want to do. I will do my best to complete the task."
Mother Qiu agreed with a smile. Princess Ning meant for her to serve Madam Cui for a while first, but she thought that was impossible. Who could trust other people's manpower? They would probably send her back in two or three days at most.
When they returned to the inn, they asked the innkeeper to prepare a rich meal. Because Mother Qiu was the only outsider there, Cui wanted her to eat at the table as well. Yuxiu had no objection, but Mother Qiu was very polite and even said that there was no such rule. She asked the waiter to prepare some food herself.
Yuxiu was very satisfied with her thoughtfulness and asked the waiter to serve the same delicious dishes. Everyone had a delicious meal.
After all, Cui was in good health and a little tired from the activities this morning, so she and Xu Qinghe were allowed to rest in the inn in the afternoon, and they could also talk and strengthen their relationship.
As for buying a house or something, Mother Qiu will lead the way and Yuxiu can just follow along to take a look.
Anyway, Cui basically listened to her arrangements, and as for Xu Qinghe, he had no objection.
Yuxiu and the others didn't know that since they left, the Ning Wang Mansion had been in an uproar.
It turned out that after seeing them off, Princess Ning quickly took people to the front hall and found that there were already a dozen familiar ladies sitting there, including several of their families' families, who were drinking tea and chatting about something lively.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I'm really sorry..."
Princess Ning adjusted her facial expression, forced a smile, and walked into the house laughingly. Without greeting everyone, she started to apologize directly.
"Princess Ning, you are so polite. We are the ones who should apologize. We came here rashly today and there is really no other way..."
Seeing that the Princess Ning, who had been waiting for a long time, finally came out, everyone in the front hall crowded over, their eyes narrowed into a line with laughter, and there was only one thing in their words, which was to inquire about two things.
The first thing is, is it true that there is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect who took the initiative to come to Prince Ning’s Mansion?
The second thing is, has the old princess been cured by the disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect?
"Everyone, please be patient. This matter cannot be explained in just a few words..."
Princess Ning couldn't help swallowing when facing everyone's burning gazes.
Madam Cui didn't ask to hide her identity, so she probably doesn't mind people knowing it, right?
"Then just keep it short. We've been waiting for quite a while, so we can wait a little longer."
Coincidentally, the person who spoke was the wife of the Crown Prince of Pingnan Marquis's Mansion, that is, Qin's elder sister-in-law Zeng.
She originally thought that her sister-in-law was the third wife of Prince Ning's Mansion, and that she would be the first to benefit from good things. However, she didn't expect that it had been several hours, and her sister-in-law, who was usually eloquent, hadn't even shown up.
She asked people to invite the third wife over, but she didn't expect that several groups of people went but no one showed up. When she asked them the reason, they all hesitated and couldn't give an answer.
But she was so angry that she planned to whisper in her man's ear when she returned home today. They were not siblings from the same mother, so their relationship was not that reliable. If she came back for help again in the future, no one should pay attention to her.
