Chapter 139 Why
Chapter 139 Why
Zhao Yuan frowned and asked, "Defu, tell me, why is Mistress Lin so rebellious? Why can't she be like other women? There are only a few women in my backyard, why can't she get along with them well?"
Defu lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhao Yuan, and secretly complained in his heart. What could he say if he, a servant, was asked to answer such a question? Your Majesty, you are angry now, but maybe you will feel sorry for Master Lin in a while. Wouldn't he be in trouble then?
Defu could only remain silent, hoping that Zhao Yuan could calm down on his own.
"Defu, why don't you tell me, A'yan, why can't you just give in? Isn't Wu Yue just living in her yard temporarily? Is it necessary for you to get so angry with me?" Zhao Yuan frowned and said with a slightly unhappy tone.
De Fu smacked his lips, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "Well... everyone has a different temperament. I am so limited in knowledge that I really can't comment on it."
"Humph!" Zhao Yuan snorted coldly, his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction, "It's not that you can't comment, it's that you don't dare to say it, for fear of offending others and making your life difficult in the future."
De Fu lowered his head, bowed slightly, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you are wise and powerful. Aren't you caught in a dilemma now?" His voice was low and respectful, but with a bit of helplessness and worry.
Zhao Yuan sighed and scratched his hair irritably, looking somewhat helpless and distressed. Defu's words made him fall into deep thought, and he realized that he was indeed in an awkward situation, being caught between two women and having difficulty making a decision.
"Haha, you're right. Why is it so difficult? We are living together happily, with food and drink, why are we still fighting over things? Have I ever deducted Master Lin's food, clothing and other expenses?"
Defu said humorously, "How can I say this? It's mainly because you are so outstanding, Lord, that Master Lin and the others want to be favored by you. According to my observation, Master Lin just cares too much about you, so she behaves like this. What do you think, Lord?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yuan's bad mood improved a lot.
"Princess Wu Yue has come from afar. As her guest, we should not be impolite and should give her a warm welcome," said De Fu.
"Right! Why can't A Yan understand this?" Zhao Yuan agreed.
"However, Princess Wu Yue's situation is rather special. I guess that Master Lin cares too much about you, Your Highness, and is afraid of losing you, and of your old relationship with Wu Yue rekindling, so she has left her aside. After all, the princess already has a child, so there is nothing to worry about. Master Lin's identity is rather embarrassing." De Fu said, and because Master Lin was usually nice to him, he added a few more words.
"It's strange. Why can't Ayan get pregnant?" Zhao Yuan became even more depressed. He had tried very hard. The ones he didn't want to get pregnant got pregnant, but the ones he wanted to get pregnant just couldn't.
It was really hard to comment on De Fu, so I could only stand aside and listen quietly.
"Well, I heard from Guard Li that A Yan wants to rent the Juyi Casino. You should tell Manager Zhai to buy it." Zhao Yuan said with a sigh.
Defu responded readily, "Yes, Your Majesty."
On the way to pass on the message to Steward Zhai, Defu thought to himself, it is just as he expected. I knew it. No matter how Master Lin quarreled with the prince, the prince would give in first in the end. It seems that the prince really cares about Master Lin. His words were not in vain.

A fierce quarrel was heard from Xinyue Courtyard, spreading quickly to every door of the Rui Palace like long wings. At this moment, Mu Shirley was enjoying the food leisurely and in a happy mood, as if the more violent the storm, the more strength she could draw from it.
At this moment, Xiang Shui briskly pushed open the bead curtain and reported, "Master, Princess Wu Yue is here." Mu Xueli responded with a smile and invited her in.
Wu Yue stepped into the room with a displeased look on her face, and said bluntly: "An unpopular princess has such a leisurely and comfortable life!"
Mu Xueli did not care about her rudeness, but asked calmly: "I wonder if the princess has any advice for you?"
Wu Yue made a straightforward request: "Those geraniums in the yard are too tacky. Replace them with roses for me tomorrow."
Mu Xueli agreed readily, but then changed the subject: "That's no problem, but our Rui Palace has a limited budget, so I'm afraid we can't change too many. The variety is too good, so I hope the princess will forgive me." She wanted Wu Yue to understand that although she was a princess, as a princess, she was not easily influenced by others. After all, she was the master of the entire mansion, and she had the final say on everything.
Wu Yue was about to continue speaking when Xiang Shui opened the curtain and walked in again: "Concubine Chen, requesting an audience."
"Please let Sister Chen in quickly. Princess Wu Yue is here too. You will meet each other often in the future." Mu Xueli said with a smile.
Chen Qingqing walked in and saw a strange beautiful woman in the room. She had already guessed who this person was, but she still pretended to be surprised and asked, "Who is this...?"
"This is Princess Wu Yue, who married into a foreign country. She is now temporarily living in our Rui Palace." Mu Xueli introduced enthusiastically.
"Greetings to Princess Wu Yue!" Chen Qingqing bowed politely to Wu Yue.
Wu Yue raised her hand arrogantly, not taking Chen Qingqing seriously at all.
"The only one missing is Sister Lin. Xiangxun, go to Xinyue Courtyard and invite Sister Lin over. We sisters can sit down together to drink tea and chat." Mu Xueli suddenly suggested.
Lin Yan was so angry that she was fuming when she received an invitation from Mu Xueli. "Tell the princess that I caught a cold and have a severe headache. I really can't keep the appointment. Please help Xiang Xun. Happy, you can send Xiang Xun off." Lin Yan ordered with a dark face.
The aroma left.
Green Tea looked at Xiangxun's departing back, frowned slightly, and muttered to herself: "What is the princess going to do?" She knew very well that Princess Mu had skipped the daily morning and evening wakings in order to protect the fetus. She knew that Master Lin was unhappy about being forced to move, but now she suddenly sent someone to invite him. It was really puzzling.
Lin Yan lazily leaned on the couch, half-closed her eyes, and had a mocking smile on her lips. "Humph, these women are so boring to be around a man all day. They want to laugh at me, but I don't have the time to play with them." After saying that, she closed her eyes and began to doze off.
"But..." Green Tea was still a little worried, "What should I do if the prince really doesn't come again?" Her voice was filled with anxiety.
