MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 542 You should call me uncle

What surprised Shen Ningning was that Mo Lingwei did not attend Taifu Ye's birthday party.

 He just arranged for Wu Fang to come and bring a message to her.

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with government affairs, and the Emperor’s health has not been good for a long time, so he has no time to spare, so he cannot come. Your Royal Highness the Princess, please forgive me.”

As Wu Fang spoke, the guard behind him handed over a brocade box that was half an arm long. He opened it and saw a pair of old longevity men carved from mutton-fat white jade.

“Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot come, the gifts have been prepared in advance. He also said that if the princess does not prepare a suitable gift, he will use his gift to present it together on your behalf.”

Shen Ningning asked Wan Chun to help pick it up, and then said: "Brother is so kind, but I prepared the gift myself. You go back and tell him to reassure him. In addition, no matter how busy you are, don't forget to have a good rest."

Wu Fang nodded, turned and left.

Shen Ningning had just turned around when she saw Lu Shaoyuan, wearing a sky blue robe and a white jade crown, walking towards her elegantly.

 At this time, the Ye family already had many guests coming to the banquet.

But he was carefree and shouted Shen Ningning's name loudly, attracting everyone's attention to him.

When Lu Shaoyuan walked up to him, Shen Ningning tugged on his sleeve: "Why are you so loud? Don't overwhelm the guest!"

Lu Shaoyuan has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his stretched smile is particularly warm.

"What are you afraid of? I'll show you something. Look." He pulled a pink jade medal from his sleeve.

Shen Ningning couldn't take her eyes away when she saw it.

"Wow, it's ice pink hibiscus color." Such a color is relatively rare, and it is even rarer to have the same texture as this jade medal without any impurities.

Shen Ningning subconsciously asked: "Is this the birthday gift you plan to give to Grandpa Ye's family?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her name engraved under the jade seal.

Lu Shaoyuan shook the folding fan: "Of course it's for you. I've asked my brother to deliver the gift to Taifu Ye."

"Not long ago, my brother went to the outskirts of Beijing for business. I knew that the antique shop in the town over there was auctioning this piece of jade, so I asked him to help buy it."

“Don’t you always like jade? I’ll give it to you.”

 Shen Ningning accepted it happily.

She and Lu Shaoyuan have known each other for many years, and the two of them run a shop together, and they have a good relationship like brother and sister.

Over the years, Lu Shaoyuan helped her collect a lot of good jade, and she also gave back as much as she could.

Lingcao, Lingquan water, and countless rare medicinal herbs were sent to Lu Shaoyuan's home in boxes.

So much so that Mrs. Meng had to ask someone to thank her every time.

Mrs. Meng always felt that her son took advantage of being able to meet such a good girl like Shen Ningning.

 But in Shen Ningning's eyes, the only way to make friends is sincerity.

"Thank you, Lu Shaoyuan. By the way, a year ago, I asked you to come to the store to share the accounts. Uncle Zhong has calculated last year's profit. If the two of us share the dividends, you should get five thousand taels. You always If you don’t come, you don’t want the money either?”

Hearing this, Lu Shaoyuan was about to say that five thousand taels was nothing, so he gave it to her.

 However, when he thought about it, he didn't want the dividends before and let Shen Ningning keep it all by himself.

Unexpectedly, she actually refused, and she was afraid that he would mention it again, so she actually suggested that they split up and not open a store together.

Lu Shaoyuan knew that Shen Ningning would never let her friends suffer.

 When he first invested in this shop, he just wanted to help her accomplish what she wanted to do.

So, when the words came to his lips, he said: "I have been very busy recently. My mother insists on me taking over her business and arranging for me to meet with my uncles in the clan one by one. I am really annoyed."

"Why don't you deliver the banknote to my house the day after tomorrow? Just in time, my mother also said that she hasn't seen you for a long time. If you can come with her to chat for a while, she will definitely be happy."

Shen Ningning wanted to agree. After all, Mrs. Meng was a very good person and she was not disgusted.

But she suddenly remembered: "No, the day after tomorrow is the Yuelao Festival. I promised Chang Yi that I would accompany her to Yuelao Temple to see the lanterns."

Lu Shaoyuan originally wanted her to come to his house on Yuelao Festival. Unexpectedly, after hearing what she said, the depths of his dark eyes suddenly lit up.

　　"You go to play? Why don't you call me."

 “Hmm…forgot.” Shen Ningning smiled dryly, hiding her guilty conscience.

 Actually, she promised Ye Changyi to help her get her third brother Xu Jingxi out.

 Such a private matter, Shen Ningning would not publicize it in a big way.

 But after Lu Shaoyuan learned about it, he must go with him.

“The day after tomorrow, I’ll wait for you at Yuelao Temple, and you can bring me the banknote.”

 In this case, Shen Ningning could only agree.

Remembering that Lu Shaoyuan was no outsider, she hesitated for a moment and raised her fingers.

 “Bend over and I’ll tell you a secret.”

Lu Shaoyuan was a head taller than her, tall and tall. He was slightly bent over and seemed to be listening patiently.

Probably because he was afraid that others would hear, he also used a folding fan to block his and Shen Ningning's faces.

 Shen Ningning simply told him Ye Changyi's purpose.

Lu Shaoyuan clicked his tongue: "She still has such a shy side? It's strange!"

Shen Ningning's watery eyes were filled with a sparkling black luster, and she lectured: "You are not allowed to talk about Chang Yi like that. In short, when that day comes, don't cause trouble and just listen to my arrangements~"

“You must obey the princess’s instructions.” Lu Shaoyuan held his hands and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

At this moment, an inappropriate female voice sounded from the side with a hint of ridicule.

“Ah, Your Highness Princess, Cousin Lu, what are you two whispering in broad daylight?”

Shen Ningning suddenly took half a step back, looked towards the man, and saw Miss Meng coming with someone.

Lu Shaoyuan recognized her. Speaking of it, she was a distant relative of his mother, Mrs. Meng's wife.

 “Ms. Meng, I’m just about to leave, let’s talk.” Shen Ningning picked up her skirt and left quickly.

Lu Shaoyuan's expression turned cold as he watched Miss Meng walk up to him.

She still didn’t know what she said wrongly.

“Why did the princess leave so fast? Cousin, did you make the princess angry?”

Lu Shaoyuan looked at her with an unkind expression: "Don't call me cousin. My mother said that in terms of seniority, you should call me second uncle."

Ms. Meng’s face suddenly stiffened.

 Speaking of it, this is not a glorious thing. Miss Meng’s mother was originally married to Mrs. Meng, Mrs. Meng’s distant cousin.

 However, the old man Meng died of illness soon and could not even consummate the marriage. Therefore, Miss Meng's mother remarried to the eldest son of the old man and Mrs. Dafang.

Miss Meng’s seniority has changed from being the same generation as Lu Shaoyuan to his junior.

During the New Year and festivals, when the Meng family gathers together, Miss Meng's father has to call her cousin Lu Shaoyuan.

Such a disgraceful thing was rarely mentioned by anyone. Now Lu Shaoyuan exposed it again. Her face turned pale and her smile froze.

“Ciao...Second uncle, it’s meaningless for you to talk like this. I didn’t provoke you, so why are you so angry?”

 Lu Shaoyuan snorted: "You should know that I am famously surly and unruly in my family. The way you joked just now was really rude. If I were you, I would find an opportunity to apologize to the princess."

 After saying that, he put away the folding fan coldly, turned around and left.

Meng Wanning bit her lip and stared at his back. When Lu Shaoyuan walked away, she threw away her sleeves angrily.

 “You’re trying to act like a young master with me, it’s inexplicable.”
