Chapter 855: Looking forward, the princess is not happy

In Xiao Wangfu, Lin Chujiu seldom ate at the same table as Xiao Tianyao. She never waited for him to come back for dinner. It was not that Lin Chujiu didn’t give Prince Xiao a face, but Xiao Tianyao didn’t give Lin Chujiu this chance.

When Lin Chujiu married Xiao Wangfu, she was thrown into the desolate backyard by Xiao Tianyao. She had no chance or qualification to have dinner at the same table as Xiao Tianyao. When she was able to eat with him, it was all alms from Prince Xiao, who didn’t bother to embarrass a woman.

Later, their relationship went up and down. Although there was a chance to eat at the same table, the process was not very pleasant. At least for Lin Chujiu, eating at the same table as Xiao Tianyao was not good.

Tonight’s meal, Lin Chujiu had never thought of having with Xiao Tianyao, let alone waiting for Xiao Tianyao to come back, but she couldn’t refuse Housekeeper Cao’s repeated persuasion.

“Wangfei, you and wangye just came back safely after going through this catastrophe, so you have to eat this first meal together. Wangye said that tonight we should have a sumptuous meal and cook more dishes that wangfei likes.” In the eyes of Housekeeper Cao, Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao survived a dangerous situation this time, they should be proud and celebrate when they return to the capital today.

“Originally, there should be a banquet tonight in the palace to celebrate wangfei and Wangye’s return, but wangye pushed it away. Wangye made it clear that he didn’t want to celebrate with outsiders, just with you wangfei. But it’s a happy event for you and wangye to return home safely. We don’t need to celebrate with outsiders, just the family in our mansion is enough to make the atmosphere live, right?” Housekeeper Cao was worthy of being the housekeeper of Xiao Wangfu. Although he didn’t get along with Lin Chujiu much, he knew very well what Lin Chujiu cared about.

Lin Chujiu was a very emotional person. She was especially kind to her family, this can be seen from how she treated the Meng family. So Housekeeper Cao’s word “family” poked Lin Chujiu’s soft spot. Lin Chujiu thought about it and agreed.

She has never shared the joy with her family and celebrated the victory together. Moreover, she and Xiao Tianyao need to change the way of getting along, this was an opportunity, and she wanted to give it a try, just one more time.

With the greatest expectation, Lin Chujiu went to the kitchen with great interest to plan the dishes in person, and waited happily for Xiao Tianyao to come back to have dinner together, but… …

From sunset to dusk, from dusk to after dinner time, Xiao Tianyao didn’t come back, nor send a message. Finally, there was news, but he didn’t come back.

This was what Housekeeper Cao said Xiao Tianyao doesn’t want to celebrate with outsiders, but just wants to celebrate with her.

This was what Housekeeper Cao said. Xiao Tianyao specifically told him to make dinner richer and eat with her.

The messenger left, but the flower hall was still dead silent. Lin Chujiu didn’t speak, Housekeeper Cao wished he didn’t exist. Zhenzhu and Manao wanted to persuade, but they didn’t know what to say.

If they speak for their prince, wouldn’t it make their princess sad? But if they complain about their prince to comfort their princess, they don’t have the guts to do it. They better just shut up.

After a long time, Lin Chujiu said: “Housekeeper Cao, did wangye say that he will come back for dinner tonight?”

“Answering back wangfei, no.” Housekeeper Cao was tense all the time, and when he heard Lin Chujiu’s question, he immediately stepped forward.

“Sure enough, it’s not.” Sure enough, she was just full of herself. She was so stupid that she didn’t know to ask in advance.

“Wangfei, wangye must be busy with something, otherwise, he will come back tonight.” Housekeeper Cao had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain to Xiao Tianyao.

There was no way, who told him to say a lot of words, just to prove that today was different. That this meal was of great significance. If he knew earlier that their prince would not come back, he wouldn’t open his mouth even if someone killed him.

Housekeeper Cao slapped himself secretly, wondering why he was talking so much when he doesn’t know anything.

“He just returned to the capital, the court is in a mess, it’s normal for him to be busy. Ask someone to heat the food, pick up a few of my favorites and serve them up, then share the rest with the others.” It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed. Yes, she was looking forward to celebrating her safe return with her “family”, but in the end, it became like this. How could she feel better?

But no matter how uncomfortable she was, everything was her self-righteousness. Xiao Tianyao didn’t say anything, right?

“Wangfei…” Housekeeper Cao opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Zhenzhu and Manao: “Wangfei, this slave will heat and serve the food right now.”

“But…” Housekeeper Cao looked gloomy. Although the dishes on the table were not made by their princess herself, they were her wishes. Even if their prince didn’t come back, they shouldn’t be shared with the servants.

If their prince learns that the servants ate the meal that their princess carefully prepared for him. Will they still see the sun tomorrow?

Zhenzhu and Manao guessed Housekeeper Cao’s thoughts, but did not give him a chance to speak, and interrupted again: “Housekeeper Cao, we will follow wangfei’s order.”

Housekeeper Cao glanced at Lin Chujiu secretly. Seeing Lin Chujiu’s face was calm, neither happy nor angry, he felt more and more uneasy. Although their princess didn’t get angry, it was more terrifying than getting angry. However, Housekeeper Cao didn’t dare to say anything and just stood aside obediently.

Lin Chujiu could see Housekeeper Cao’s reaction. She didn’t mean to blame Housekeeper Cao, but she didn’t intend to follow his will either. Housekeeper Cao was able to persuade her to wait for Xiao Tianyao to have dinner together because she wanted to, and for things, she didn’t want to do, no matter how Housekeeper Cao persuaded her, it was useless.

“Send the food to the backyard, I will eat there.” Lin Chujiu got up and said.

Zhenzhu and Manao agreed while Housekeeper Cao looked at Lin Chujiu’s leaving back. He didn’t dare to speak again, he just sighed heavily and silently felt sorry for their prince.

What a good opportunity, just wasted like this. If their prince comes back to eat with their princess tonight, he might be able to persuade their princess to live in the main courtyard.

“I don’t know what wangye is thinking. Is there anything more important than coming back to eat with wangfei?” Housekeeper Cao felt depressed.

In front of Lin Chujiu, he repeatedly emphasized how important and meaningful this meal is tonight, because he thinks so in his heart.

In his opinion, their prince will come back to eat with their princess tonight no matter what, so he didn’t tell their prince in advance.

One stupidity can be forgiven, but a second stupidity was irreparable. Seeing Lin Chujiu walking away, Housekeeper Cao immediately ran out, caught up with Zhenzhu and Manao, and took the food in their hands.

“No, I can’t give it to you. If wangfei finds out, she will blame us.” Zhenzhu and Manao avoided it, not giving Housekeeper Cao a chance to get close.

Housekeeper Cao was so angry that he pointed his finger at the two of them and cursed: “You two, don’t add fuel to the flames. This meal was carefully prepared by wangfei. Who dares to eat it?” you don’t want to die, right?

“But we still can’t give it to you.” Zhenzhu and Manao looked embarrassed. They didn’t dare to disobey Lin Chujiu’s order, but they were indeed afraid of the prince.

Housekeeper Cao stepped forward with a strong figure, and grabbed the trays in the hands in their hands: “Give it to me, and I will help you share it with everyone. You quickly pick out two hot dishes, and send them to wangfei.”

“This…” Zhenzhu and Manao looked perplexed, but Housekeeper Cao said like chasing flies: “Go, go, you two maids are not needed for such a trivial matter.”

“It doesn’t matter if wangfei asked, we will tell the truth.” Zhenzhu and Manao hesitated, gritted their teeth, picked a few dishes, and left.

Housekeeper Cao stood there sullenly until Zhenzhu and Manao were far away, then he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he can explain to their prince.
