Chapter 945 Preference and Exceptions
[Hehehe, I knew that Mother Cheng would like Princess Jing more~]
[Who wouldn't like a beautiful and noble princess as a daughter-in-law? The anchor should be more sensible! ]
[I thought Cheng's mother was a good mother-in-law T T]
There was a wailing sound on the public screen, and Shi Li looked at Cheng's mother in silence.
Mother Cheng smiled at her and answered Xu in a gentler tone, "Since Jue's wife likes her so much, why not bring her back and get close to her? It won't be in vain that you've taken so much trouble for her."
Xu's face turned pale immediately, and she tried to explain, but she couldn't say a word. Although she was also from a famous family, how could she compare to Princess Jing? She originally wanted to laugh at Shi Li's joke, but she didn't expect to bring trouble upon herself.
Shi Li was having a hard time trying not to laugh.
This Xu is really short-sighted. She can't hide herself so quickly. She is still here encouraging and instigating, but she was frightened by just two words from Cheng's mother.
Nothing!
If she could really bring Princess Jing back, Cheng Jue would probably thank her for the rest of his life, hahaha!
After that, until she finished wrapping the last one, Xu was so quiet that she didn't say a word. Her face was pale and no one knew what she was thinking.
The world was still unsettled, and the Cheng father and son could not wait at home for long. After a reunion on New Year's Eve, they were ready to go again.
Shi Li wore a thick cloak and walked to the second gate to see Cheng Xi off.
After this year, the boy looked much more mature and steady. He was wearing armor, and there was a hint of weathered look between his brows.
When he looked at Shi Li with his resolute eyes, there was always a hint of tenderness in them.
Before they set off, Cheng Xi came over and stroked Shi Li's hair, and whispered, "Take good care of yourself, remember to take the pills every day, and wait for me to come back."
"Await your return."
Shi Li raised her head and looked at him, with a faint glow in her eyes.
After seeing Cheng Xi off, Shi Li returned to her own courtyard, but met Princess Jing, who was wearing plain clothes, at the door.
She seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and her face was a little frosty.
After seeing Shi Li, she smiled slightly and said, "I...I have something to say to the young lady."
"My second brother just left, and you came here to look for my second sister-in-law! I think you have bad intentions!"
Cheng Danzhu's clear voice came from the other side, and then she took a few steps over, stood in front of Shi Li, and looked at Princess Jing vigilantly.
[Oh my, what should I do? We girls are just lovable~]
[The mother-in-law pampers the husband first, and then the husband pampers the sister-in-law, letting others be jealous! ]
[I almost felt so pissed when I saw some people getting their teeth ache, hahaha! ]
Shi Li didn't expect Cheng Danzhu to rush out to defend her. She smiled helplessly but warmly, and reached out to pull her to her side.
"It's just a chat, it's okay, go inside and wait for me, I'll play chess with you later."
Cheng Danzhu glanced at Princess Jing with some concern, but listened to Shi Li's words and walked into the yard silently.
Only Shi Li and Princess Jing were left at the door.
Princess Jing was worthy of her royal family background of the previous dynasty. Even when Cheng Danzhu retorted, her manners were still impeccable.
But Shi Li didn't like the way she looked at her.
That kind of arrogance from the inside out makes people very uncomfortable.
"Young Madam is deeply loved by everyone in the Cheng family. It's really enviable."
Princess Jing spoke in a gentle tone, but with a hint of superiority, "However, Cheng Xi is not an ordinary person. Young Madam, you don't really think that just a little love can consolidate your position, right?"
"Why do you have to wait until Axi leaves before you tell me these things?"
Shi Li looked at the white snow on the eaves and smiled brightly at Princess Jing, "Don't you also know that if Ah Xi hears these words, he will just stay away from you?"
Shi Li's tone was softer than Princess Jing's, but this sentence made Princess Jing's face turn pale.
The hands hidden in the wide sleeves were clenched tightly together.
