After that, he suddenly stood up and said, "If the old lady is willing to listen, how about we go to your courtyard to have a talk?"
What could he possibly talk about with his grandmother?
The old lady frowned. Supported by Nanny Jin, she got up and led Helian Duo all the way to the back yard.
Cheng Xiran wanted to sneak in with them, but the old lady stopped her. "Xiran, you don't need to come. Just wait obediently. Don't make the prince laugh at you."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Cheng Xiran watched their figures gradually disappear into the corner before slowly withdrawing her gaze. Seeing Mu Li still standing there with two baskets in her hands, she called Zhuque over and told them to go to the kitchen to stew rock sugar Sydney pears for the old lady, and make an extra portion for Helian Duo.
As soon as Mu Li left, Cheng Zhiyue was like a wild horse running out of control. She picked up the teacup at hand and threw it at Cheng Xiran. Cheng Xiran quickly dodged, and there was a crisp sound in her ear.
"I'm the one who begged the prince for you. If it weren't for me, you might have become Qian Youliang's wife by now. But you're still so ungrateful. Aren't you afraid of retribution in the future?"
But Cheng Zhiyue seemed to have gone crazy. All she could think about was killing Cheng Xiran. So she used almost everything she could find. Finally, she even rushed towards Cheng Xiran.
Mu Li appeared in time and kicked her in the abdomen. The kick was not light, and Cheng Zhiyue lay on the ground crying in pain.
Although Liu felt extremely heart - broken, she knew she was in the wrong. Besides, Helian Duo was still in the Cheng Mansion, so she didn't dare to be too blatant. She could only help Cheng Zhiyue up and patiently persuade her. Now the two of them were like rats scurrying around on the street. Cheng Xiran sipped her tea while watching them, doing both things without delay.
She was so leisurely. Naturally, Liu was extremely angry when she saw this. She couldn't help but sneer, "Cheng Xiran, don't be too happy too soon. As the saying goes, those who climb too high are bound to fall hard. I don't believe you won't make a mistake in the future!"
Cheng Xiran was still very curious about what Helian Duo had asked for from her grandmother, so she completely ignored Liu.
Silence is the greatest contempt.
Half an hour later, Zhuque had already cooked two bowls of rock sugar stewed Sydney pears, but there was still no sound from the back yard. She wanted to go and take a look, but after walking only a few steps, she saw Nanny Jin walking out of the long pavilion with a porcelain object in her hand.
"This is a treasure I accidentally got when I went to the south of the Yangtze River thirty years ago. Don't think it's just an ordinary porcelain. The various patterns carved on it are so lifelike. This kind of delicate craftsmanship is rare these days."
The old lady and Helian Duo seemed to be chatting happily. As for the item Helian Duo had asked for, it was probably this antique with a clear and bright body in front of her... But she remembered that Helian Duo had little interest in such things.
She was still wondering about it in her heart when the old lady called her over, "Xiran, I wanted to keep the prince for dinner, but he has something to do. Since your father is not here, you should see the prince out properly."
Cheng Xiran wanted to ask Helian Duo if he still wanted to eat the rock sugar stewed Sydney pears, but the old lady gave her a secret look, indicating that she shouldn't say anything.
So she had no choice but to see Helian Duo out of the mansion.
"Actually, what I asked the old lady for was not the antique, but you."
