Chapter 266: Visiting the Prime Minister’s Mansion
“Mdm, Young Master and Miss Lu have arrived. The Matriarch wants you to go over.”
Outside the door, the servant knocked twice and said respectfully.
“Cousin is here!”
When Fu Yiyi heard that Chu Sihan was here, she hurriedly looked at Mdm Fu and said, “Mother, let’s hurry over.”
She did not want to see Lu Sheng and blamed the Matriarch for making such a grand scene. However, she still wanted to see Chu Sihan.
Mdm Fu sighed softly and instructed in a low voice, “Just eat your food later and don’t speak.”
“Oh, I know, I know! Mother, let’s go quickly.”
Mdm Fu shook her head helplessly.
After she left, she looked at the servant and asked, “Miss Xiao Hong, have you seen Second Miss?”
Xiao Hong bowed and replied, “Mdm, Second Miss has returned. She rode a carriage with Young Master and Miss Lu.”
“What?”
Fu Yiyi frowned and exclaimed, “You’re saying that Sister came back with that country b.u.mpkin?”
“Country b.u.mpkin?”
Xiao Hong said, puzzled, “There wasn’t any country b.u.mpkin.”
“She’s talking nonsense.”
Mdm Fu secretly pinched Fu Yiyi and smiled at Xiao Hong. “Let’s go quickly. Don’t let the guests wait too long.”
“Yes!”
Xiao Hong looked suspiciously at Fu Yiyi, who was gritting her teeth. Then, she picked up the lamp and walked in front.
“Are you crazy?”
Mdm Fu reprimanded softly, “Xiao Hong is Matriarch’s person. If Matriarch hears your words, won’t she dislike you even more?”
Matriarch Fu was not fond of Fu Yiyi, to begin with. If not for her and the Prime Minister, she would have long betrothed her to someone else. Why would she keep her here?
Fu Yiyi’s eyes reddened immediately. She pursed her lips and looked aggrieved.
Mdm Fu took a deep breath and said with a headache, “Let’s go.”
When the two of them reached the door, they heard Matriarch’s happy laughter coming from the hall.
“It’s my grandson’s fortune to have met you, Shenger. You have no idea how quiet he used to be.”
Fu Yiyi stomped her foot in fury and said angrily, “I want to see what this country b.u.mpkin looks like!”
“Yiyi, you can’t!”
Mdm Fu wanted to pull her back, but she was too late.
She held her forehead and hurried after her.
“Yiyi greets Grandmother, Father, and Cousin!”
The laughter inside stopped abruptly. Fu Sisi rolled her eyes at her, snorted coldly, and turned away.
Matriarch Fu looked at Mdm Fu behind her and said coldly, “You don’t have any rules at all. Your elders are still following behind you, yet you’re walking forward by yourself. How dare you?”
Mdm Fu walked forward and bowed slightly, not daring to say anything.
However, she subconsciously looked at Fu Lei.
Fu Lei sighed silently and chuckled at Matriarch Fu. “Mother doesn’t have to be angry. It’s rare for Han Er to bring his sweetheart over today. Yiyi is also anxious to see her future sister-in-law.”
Matriarch Fu sneered but did not say anything else. She was giving her son an out.
What did he mean by rus.h.i.+ng to see her future sister-in-law? She wanted to see Lu Sheng make a fool of herself, right?
Did he really think that she did not know Fu Yiyi’s tricks?
“I think she wants to see Miss Lu make a fool of herself, right?”
Fu Sisi sneered impatiently. “Don’t you know how you look?”
She had heard Fu Yiyi curse Lu Sheng behind her back a lot.
She was afraid that she had miscalculated.
Prime Minister Fu cleared his throat and said lightly, “Sisi, cut it out.”
Fu Sisi snorted coldly and did not look at Fu Yiyi anymore. Instead, she said to Lu Sheng, “Miss Lu, don’t you have something for Grandmother? Take it out quickly.”
