Chapter 375 What? Are you interested in Liu Nanshi?
Xiao Qingxi finally lost patience after listening to the two of them flattering each other: "Liu Nanshi, you are not here to see me, are you? You are here to see my brother, right? Why are you chatting with him more passionately than I am?"
"I'm sorry, Qingxi. It's rare for me to meet a peer as talented as your brother Xiang Ling. I couldn't hold back and said a few more words. Please don't be offended."
Liu Nanshi's face was full of apologies. She praised Xiao Qingxi a few more times, and when she saw that her face looked a little better, she said, "By the way, I came here today and brought you gifts!"
"Come if you want to. Why bring any gifts? I don't care about them. Whatever your Liu family has, we have in Ning Wang Mansion. Whatever your Liu family doesn't have, we still have in Ning Wang Mansion. So, don't bring anything in the future. It will just gather dust there."
Xiao Qingxi was used to seeing good things, so he didn't care about Liu Nanshi's gift, and his words were arrogant and domineering.
Liu Nanshi was so angry that she almost couldn't control her expression.
She glanced at Xiao Qingxi's slightly bulging belly and didn't say anything else.
After all, she was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the most talented woman in the world. She had taken the initiative to show her goodwill and give gifts, which was enough to give face to Xiao Qingxi. Now that her face had been trampled on by Xiao Qingxi, of course she was unwilling to please Xiao Qingxi again.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold and awkward.
Seeing that something was not right, Xiao Qingyuan quickly said, "Qingxi, what are you talking about? Nan Shi brought the gift because it was her intention. It's reasonable for you to thank her."
Xiao Qingxi sneered: "Hey, Xiao Qingyuan, why are you still polite today? I have never seen you so eloquent in the past. What, are you interested in Liu Nanshi? Do you want to take her as a concubine?"
Xiao Qingyuan's face changed: "Qingxi, what you said is too much! Why don't you apologize to Nanshi quickly!"
Liu Nanshi didn't expect Xiao Qingxi to say such insulting words to her. She also changed her expression: "Why did the princess humiliate me like this? I ask myself that I have never done anything wrong. I treat you sincerely and kindly. When I get good things, I think of you first. But you belittle me like this. I have misjudged the princess!"
As soon as Xiao Qingxi said this, she knew it was inappropriate, but there was nothing she could do. She had been scolding Shen Wantang recently, and when faced with a daughter of a wealthy family like Liu Nanshi, she was unable to think straight and just said what she wanted to say without thinking.
But Liu Nanshi is not Shen Wantang. She has the Liu family behind her. The Liu family has many disciples. Elder Liu has always been trusted by the emperor and holds a high position of power. All the major actions of the emperor in recent years were suggested by Elder Liu.
"Nanshi, I don't mean to humiliate you. I always speak my mind, you know."
Xiao Qingxi apologized reluctantly: "I'm sorry for what I said. Nanshi, you are the legitimate daughter of Elder Liu. You are worthy of being my brother's consort, not a concubine!"
"I actually wanted to say that my brother wanted to marry you and demote Shen Wantang to a concubine, but I spoke too quickly and said the wrong thing. Don't take it to heart!"
Liu Nanshi's expression looked better at this point: "Qingxi, you always say things in such a scary way. Stop it. Your brother and your sister-in-law are in love. I can't wait to wish them the best, but I've never thought of anything else. If you keep talking, not only will I be unhappy, but your brother will be unhappy too!"
Xiao Qingxi looked at Xiao Qingyuan, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother, are you unhappy?"
Xiao Qingyuan shook his head: "I'm not unhappy, but what you said is indeed inappropriate, it's too offensive to Nan Shi."
"What's the big deal? I said this because I don't treat Nanshi as an outsider."
Xiao Qingxi said disapprovingly, "Don't you think Nan Shi is more suitable to be your Crown Prince's Consort? You and she are a perfect match, talented and pretty, and you can even chat with each other. How can Shen Wantang be worthy of you?"
"I just hit it off with Nanshi right away, and we had a great chat like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. I didn't think about anything else."
Xiao Qingyuan had never really considered letting Liu Nanshi be the Crown Prince's Consort. After all, Liu Nanshi's status was there. Even if he wanted to divorce his wife and marry her, she and the Liu family would never agree.
He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Although Shen Wantang's family background is not high, she is indeed a good housekeeper. The palace has always been managed by her and there has never been any trouble. The people below obey her, and my father and mother also trust her. Don't say anything like she is unworthy."
Xiao Qingxi sneered: "She manages the household well? Then why don't I see you spending money? I heard that Huayi in your room is pregnant with your child and wants to eat lychees, but you can't even afford it?"
"Brother, you are already living in such a difficult situation, and you are still speaking for Shen Wantang. Has she ever considered you? You are a man, a prince of a royal family, but you don't even have money. Don't you think you are too cowardly?"
Xiao Qingyuan's face turned pale after hearing what she said: "Why are you saying all this? This matter has nothing to do with Shen Wantang. My father and mother wanted to train me, so they didn't let her give me money. Besides, I don't care about the family's money. I can earn it myself. Just wait and see!"
"whispering sound!"
Xiao Qingxi's face was full of sarcasm: "Don't I know how much you are worth? You are good at spending money, but if I ask you to make money, I'm afraid it will cost you your life! Besides, making money is something that only lowly merchants would do. Nobles like us would never do such a shameful thing."
Xiao Qingyuan felt ashamed after hearing what she said, especially in front of Liu Nanshi. He felt that he had lost all his dignity and face.
He turned around and was about to leave, but heard Liu Nanshi say, "I think it is very noble for the prince to not use the money from the palace and to be willing to earn money on his own."
"Which of the young masters in the capital doesn't rely on their families? The only one who relies on himself is probably the prince. His heart alone is worth a thousand gold."
"Those noble sons spend money like water, and they all look like spendthrifts. But the prince is different from those vulgar people who love money like their lives. The prince is ambitious and willing to work hard for the future. His future is limitless."
"Qingxi, I envy you for having a brother like this!"
Xiao Qingxi looked at Liu Nanshi suspiciously, then at Xiao Qingyuan: "Is my brother really as good as you say? If you keep talking, even I'm almost going to believe it."
Xiao Qingyuan felt extremely comfortable. He turned around and bowed to Liu Nanshi: "Thank you Miss Liu for your praise. When I make money one day, I will definitely give Miss Liu a thank you gift first, thank you for your trust in me."
Liu Nanshi smiled slightly: "Then I won't be polite to you, I am waiting for your thank you gift. However, before I take your thank you gift, I would like to ask you to take a look at my gift for you first. I don't know if you can use it."
