Chapter 239 Flattery
Tang Yueer shuddered and glanced at Liu.
Liu was even more speechless, wondering why he was scolding people before he even entered the door. She gave Tang Yue'er a look in return, signaling her to go quickly.
As Tang Yue'er walked in, Tang Jiang was still scolding her, "You really have no manners at all. If you are so rude, don't come back!" Just now, so many people were following him in the front to pay their respects, but she was the only one standing at the back hiding, looking so petty!
Tang Yue'er sneered in her heart. Wasn't he the one who called her back?
Tang Yue'er could only bow and saluted, and whispered, "Greetings to the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess!"
"Perform a great salute!" Tang Jiang said angrily.
Tang Yueer was startled and stood there not knowing what to do. She was already uncomfortable with just shouting, and she couldn't perform the ceremony.
Besides, why should he ask her to perform such a great ceremony?
Although she did not marry a prince, she also married into the royal family.
Tang Yue'er stood there with her teeth gritted, not saying anything. At this time, Tang Wanru smiled and said, "Forget it, it's fine if you don't want to be polite. My sister is young, and I know what she means. We are all family, so the etiquette doesn't have to be so complicated."
Well, Tang Wanru's words made her look stingy, and Tang Wanru was generous.
Tang Yue'er could hardly bear it anymore.
"you--"
Liu hurriedly pulled her aside and whispered, "Forget it, come and sit down."
So Tang Yueer sat down with a cold face. Zhou Ziyue had already taken his seat. He was about to pick up some food to eat, but suddenly he heard Tang Jiang's voice: "Ziyue."
Zi Yue?
Zhou Ziyue was stunned. Tang Jiang always called him "Prince" before, why was he calling him by his name now?
"Father-in-law." Zhou Ziyue said.
Tang Jiang looked at him like an elder: "Today's opportunity is also rare."
what chance?
Zhou Ziyue didn't understand what he meant, so Tang Jiang continued, "This is why I called you here today. You should chat with Yan Li as soon as possible. After all, you don't have many opportunities to see him on weekdays. If you have any problems in the future, Yan Li can help you."
Liu was speechless. What did he mean?
Is he asking Zhou Ziyue to curry favor with Bai Yanli?
Although Bai Yanli is a prince, Zhou Ziyue is also from the royal family. How could this be possible?
Tang Yue'er had held back just now, but now she almost stood up. Isn't this too contemptuous? Although Bai Yanli is a prince.
But after wandering outside for so many years, he has just restored his identity and nothing else. Can he stand above Zhou Ziyue?
"Dad." Tang Yue'er was about to stand up.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziyue stood up before her. He smiled calmly, picked up the wine glass and said, "Father-in-law is right." He raised the glass to Bai Yanli, "Seventh Prince, I toast to you."
Bai Yanli did not stand up or get up, but sat there holding up the wine glass and drank it all.

Qingyu Courtyard.
"Why did he call us back?" Tang Yue'er said with anger as soon as she came back, her face flushed with anger, "Does he want us to give his family a chance to rise to higher positions?"
"Yuer." Liu was also speechless, "Your father has always been like this, just bear with it."
Tang Jiang is indeed like that, a mean person who changes his attitude according to the situation.
Tang Yue'er wasn't completely angry at Tang Jiang, she was angry at Tang Wanru.
"I just don't understand. Didn't Bai Yanli just get his status as a prince restored? He's still an unpopular prince." Tang Yue'er gritted her teeth and said, "If he was favored, he wouldn't have been sent out of the palace by the emperor at such a young age!"
Tang Yue'er argued confidently: "Even if he is back now, what can he do? He didn't grow up by the emperor's side. Can the emperor like him all of a sudden? Can he open up to him? Then can the prince who has always grown up by the emperor's side be outdone by him?"
"You never know when the emperor will get tired of him again and drive him out of the capital. Is this worth Tang Wanru showing off?" Tang Yue'er said.
"That's right." Liu hurriedly comforted her, "Yuer, you don't have to take it to heart, it's no big deal."
Although she said that, Tang Yue'er was still very unhappy.
She frowned and sat on the bed.
At this time, the door opened and Wang Po walked in: "What happened to make my Yue'er unhappy again?"
Seeing that it was her who came back, Tang Yue'er felt instantly reassured. She immediately rushed over and hugged her: "Grandma, you are finally back. I missed you so much."
Without Wang Po's advice these days, she had suffered a lot, especially the matter of entering the palace, which almost killed her spirit.
Wang Po stroked her head and said, "Silly girl, are you thinking about me or my method?"
Seeing that she could see through her thoughts at a glance, Tang Yueer pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "Grandma."
Wang Po smiled and walked in.
Liu hurriedly asked, "Grandma, how is things going?" She went back this time to arrange Wang Hua's funeral, so Liu asked.
"Thanks to my aunt, everything went smoothly." Grandma Wang nodded.
"That's good." Liu felt relieved.
After hearing Tang Yue'er and Liu's complaints, Wang Po was shocked. She said, "Oh my God, after just a few days of not seeing her, Tang Wanru has become so arrogant."
"Isn't it?" Tang Yue'er's face also turned dark blue. When she heard Wang Po say this, tears were about to flow down her face. She sat there wiping her tears.
Liu was in a difficult situation as well. She said, "Now that Tang Wanru has become the Seventh Imperial Concubine, she is really occupying a high position everywhere. Yue'er and I are miserable."
"Humph!" Wang Po sneered after hearing this. She sat down and swept her dusty clothes with a handkerchief while sneering, "Then Tang Wanru is the Seventh Imperial Concubine, but there are people who are not. We can always find a way out."
After hearing this, Liu and Tang Yue'er's eyes lit up. Liu asked, "Grandma, do you have a solution?"
Grandma Wang took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Panchun, although Wang Hua is dead, I found something when I was sorting out his belongings in the outer courtyard." As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper.
There is a very secret address on it.
"This is——" Liu was puzzled.
"This is the location of Lin Yunrou's private vault." Wang Po said, "I heard from Wang Hua before that Lin Yunrou has a lot of silver. I guess she doesn't dare to put too much money in the Tang family, so she put it all here."
Liu looked at the address again and again, as if she had already seen the gold, silver and treasures inside.
"Auntie," said Wang Po, "Isn't Yue'er's uncle Liu Duo the best at unlocking and stealing? If he can open this place and get the things inside, then we won't have to worry about our future lives."
Liu was so excited when she heard this.
Because of the dowry issue last time, all the money she had saved for two years was gone, and now she is penniless.
If I could get this money, I could not only take revenge on Tang Wanru, but also get some silver.
It's the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, Liu clenched the note tightly.
