Chapter 2221: Spring is not too late
Shi Li couldn't tell anyone about the ridiculous things happening in the Fang family. Faced with Mrs. Ming's concern, she could only vaguely say that she just didn't sleep well at night.
Mrs. Ming asked again and again, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was not bullied.
The female members of the Ming family, besides Madam Ming, also include the wife of Mingchen's eldest brother.
Four years ago, the emperor arranged a marriage for Mingchen's eldest brother with Princess Zhaojia, and the marriage went smoothly three years ago.
Mingchen's second brother and second sister-in-law were not in the capital. Mingchen's second brother went to another place and his second sister-in-law also accompanied him to take up the post.
In this regard, Mrs. Ming has always been open-minded. She would not let the couple suffer the pain of separation, and she would not meddle in other people's affairs by forcing a woman on her son.
After her son got married, she no longer asked about anything and lived a leisurely life.
The youngest son, the only one she could still take care of, was the one she had the least worries about and the least troublesome at the same time since he was a child, and there were very few things that required her to take care of him.
Mrs. Ming bluntly told Shi Li to treat this place as her own home, and took her to talk and appreciate the flowers, and did not allow her to be polite at all.
Around noon, Princess Zhaojia, who had gone to the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, also returned.
The generous and bright beauty smiled very friendly when she saw Shi Li, took a brocade box from the maid, and handed it to Shi Li with both hands with a smile.
"I've always heard my mother talk about Miss Shi. I finally got to meet her. She's really as beautiful as a fairy."
Princess Zhaojia's eyes were filled with fondness. She gently took Shi Li's hand and looked at her carefully. Then she turned to Madam Ming and said, "It's a pity that our family doesn't have such a sister. Mother, can you talk to Lord Shi and let Miss Shi be raised by our family?"
Shi Li: ???
Mrs. Ming glared at her eldest daughter-in-law in anger and said, "You are telling jokes in a serious manner. You might scare Li'er. You don't say a single honest word!"
"I am telling the truth. Why is mother accusing me?" Princess Zhaojia looked aggrieved.
Although they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, their relationship was as close as that of mother and daughter. They made a few jokes and did not neglect Shi Li at all.
"Miss Shi, please take a look at the hairpin I gave you and see if you like it. If it doesn't look good, I will change it for another one." Princess Zhaojia urged Shi Li to open the brocade box.
Shi Li did as she was told, and saw a dazzling jewel hairpin in the brocade box, its radiance was particularly dazzling.
"A little girl of this age should wear some shiny and dazzling jewelry."
Madam Ming was also beside her, sighing with emotion. She took the hairpin and put it on Shi Li's head, looking at her with satisfaction, "It looks good!"
Princess Zhaojia also nodded in agreement, and said with some regret: "This hairpin is a set with a hairpin, but it's a pity that the Queen Mother said that it has been given to someone else. Otherwise, I would have asked for it and given it to Miss Shi."
"Then why didn't you ask who it was given to? Only Li'er can wear something like this gracefully!" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had the same train of thought, and their matter-of-fact tone made Shi Li feel ashamed.
only……
She reached out and touched the gem on the top of the hairpin. Why did she feel that her hairpin was just like what they were talking about?
Compared to the Fang family, Ming Mansion is like a paradise for Shi Li.
At noon, Madam Ming insisted on staying for dinner, and she held Shi Li back and wouldn't let her leave. Princess Zhaojia also chimed in, saying, "There are only three of us here, and Mingchen is used to eating at his own place, so there's nothing to be shy about."
Unable to refuse such a kind invitation, Shi Li had no choice but to agree.
The three of them went to the dining room, where the kitchen had already prepared a sumptuous meal.
A servant came over and said to Madam Ming, "The third young master is here and wants to have dinner together."
"Oh? Is the sun rising from the west?" Mrs. Ming was very surprised. "Normally, he can't respond even if I call him. What happened today?"
Hearing this, Princess Zhaojia blinked her eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, as if she saw through something, but did not say it out loud.
He only glanced at her secretly when Shi Li wasn't paying attention.
Ming Chen had already walked in. He greeted Madam Ming and Princess Zhaojia with a calm face, and finally his eyes fell on Shi Li, "You're here."
Shi Li didn’t think there was anything wrong at first, but Mingchen’s unfamiliar look made her feel a little strange.
There's a strange sense of guilt.
But she still stood up and saluted to Ming Chen awkwardly, "Mr. Ming."
It feels like both of them are a little bit split.
[Pretending to be unfamiliar? Interesting~~~]
[Is this because they are afraid that Madam Ming and Princess Zhaojia will find out? ]
[I feel like... what's that, under the watchful eyes of everyone? ]
Originally, there was nothing to hide, but after Shi Li read the nonsense in the barrage, she felt even weirder.
