Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Deliberately Causing a Car Accident to Claim Compensation (2)_1

Princess Anle spit the mouthwash into the spittoon and chided with a smile, "This stinky boy, when he was at the Mansion, was either clinging to his elder brother or to me. Now that he has Lin Yuan, even his own mother is no longer in favor."

Xia He and Qiu Ju exchanged a glance, easily detecting the faint sense of loss in the Princess Anle’s words.

Qiu Ju took the handkerchief from her to dry her hands, and said with a smile, "Madam, when you were in the Capital city, you used to talk every day about finding a bride for the second young master, as if you wished he could choose from every girl in the Capital. Now that the second young master has found his beloved, you are, on the other hand, reluctant to let go."

"It’s not that I’m reluctant to let go, it’s just that, well, it feels a bit bittersweet," Princess Anle said with a bitter smile, pulling a smile. In the past, when chatting with those Madams, they would always complain about their daughters-in-law, saying this and that wasn’t good, and she would joke about them being jealous of their daughters-in-law. Now, she could truly empathize with them.

However, Princess Anle was still different from those Madams. Although she felt a bit reluctant, her impression of Lin Yuan was extremely good, and she liked her immensely. Even if Lin Yuan truly became part of the family, she wouldn’t criticize her daughter-in-law like the other Madams did.

Just as the breakfast was set on the table, Su Qiuyu arrived with a gentle smile and greeted, "Madam, did you rest well last night?"

Princess Anle had always thought that Xia Zheng would marry Su Qiuyu into the family. Although she wasn’t as fond of her as she was of Lin Yuan now, she had watched Su Qiuyu grow up and had a certain affection for her.

Seeing her arrival, Princess Anle gestured for her to sit beside her, "It was fine. You’ve come just in time. I feel somewhat uncomfortable eating alone. Now that you’re here, you can join me."

Su Qiuyu came over so early to curry favor, and although she wasn’t feeling well and didn’t have much of an appetite that morning, she still pretended to be hungry and nodded her head to accompany her at breakfast.

Su Qiuyu’s upbringing was very strict; she followed the rule of not speaking while eating or speaking in bed. Princess Anle, on the other hand, grew up in the palace and later on, when she married into the General Mansion, became the lady of the house right away. Moreover, with two lively sons at home, she became much more lively. All those rules about not speaking while eating or in bed were long forgotten by her.

After talking with Su Qiuyu for a bit and seeing that she wasn’t very interested, Princess Anle also lost interest in speaking, finding the meal less lively than the dinner the night before.

Lao Fan didn’t even have breakfast and went straight to Rice Flower Fragrance early in the morning. Recalling what he had agreed with Xiao Linshuang the night before, Lao Fan was so excited he couldn’t contain himself. He had intended to go with Xia Zheng, but surprisingly, that guy was even more excited than he was.

His excitement was because Xiao Linshuang had promised to bring him breakfast made by Lin Yuan. What was there for Xia Zheng, that stinky boy, to be excited about?

Every time he thought of the young couple’s sweet nothings, Lao Fan would disdainfully curl his lip and snort, not even in the mood to curse.

Since neither were at Fuman Building, Princess Anle had to go by herself. Fortunately, Lin Yuan’s shop was on West Street and very easy to find. After greeting Shopkeeper Liu, they got into their own carriage and left.

Su Qiuyu naturally followed. She didn’t have much interest in the shop opened by Lin Yuan, nor was she interested in the pastries from the small place of Zhuma Town. However, she needed to be by Princess Anle’s side at all times, because she had to constantly display in front of the Princess that she was more noble and more prudent than Lin Yuan.

Because they left home a bit late, it was already mid-morning, and there were already quite a few people on the streets. As Princess Anle and Su Qiuyu chatted inside the carriage, no one noticed that another carriage was quietly following behind them.
