Chapter 213: Master, General Cao is outside asking for a meeting with a bunch of gifts!
"Butler, have someone go get the deed to the hot spring manor from Madam, and prepare generous gifts, and follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
General Cao was silent for a while, then gave the order in a deep voice.
"Yes, I will prepare it right away!"
The butler took the order respectfully and then walked quickly towards Zhao Ting'er's yard.
"Butler, you are here, but what's the matter?"
When Zhao Ting'er's Nanny Zhao saw the old housekeeper coming, she hurried forward and asked politely.
"Madam Zhao, the master ordered me to come and get the title deed to the hot spring manor!"
The old butler said in a gentle voice.
"Master already knows about this! What is this, Master?"
Nanny Zhao was startled and asked hurriedly in a low voice.
"Hey! Aunt Zhao, you should follow Madam when she goes out in the future. If Madam does something inappropriate, you can persuade her. If the master is kind, we can do our job well!"
The old housekeeper sighed and said to Nanny Zhao, then urged her to go and get the land deed quickly, saying that the master was still waiting, so don't make him unhappy again!
Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhao hurriedly walked into the house.
"What did you say? The master ordered someone to take the title deed? He knew I was wronged, but instead of coming to care for me and comfort me, he came to take the title deed!"
Zhao Ting'er's sharp voice was heard from inside the house. This was the nth time she had lost her composure today.
Immediately afterwards, Nanny Zhao's low voice of consolation was heard from inside the room.
The old butler couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He wondered whether the master regretted marrying the lady. The lady was completely different from before, or maybe she had disguised herself too well before.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Nanny Zhao coming out of the house holding a box.
"Butler, this is the deed to the farm. Madam was upset today and is a little out of her mind. Please say a few good words to the master."
After Zhao Ma Ma finished speaking, she stuffed a purse into the housekeeper's hand. The housekeeper sighed and said nothing. He took the box, stuffed the purse back to Zhao Ma Ma, nodded at her, and turned around and strode away!
General Cao had already changed his clothes. When he saw the butler and a few others coming with several gift boxes, he got on the carriage and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this moment in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Leng Linglong was sharing her heroic deeds of the day with the old Prime Minister and Zhao Junhuan.
"Linglong, why did Zhao Ting'er suddenly have diarrhea?"
The old prime minister asked with a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law's behavior today.
"Dad, while I was talking to Zhao Ting'er, I flicked a little toy I used to play pranks on people when I was a kid into her teacup!"
Leng Linglong said proudly.
"Mom, aren't you afraid of being found out?"
Zhao Junhuan looked at her with admiration and asked, "Mom is really amazing. I must learn this trick of playing pranks on people."
"That thing is not poisonous. It will dissolve in water. It just causes abdominal pain and diarrhea. It cannot be detected!"
Leng Linglong said with confidence.
"Mom, give me some of that stuff!"
Zhao Junhuan looked at Leng Linglong with a flattering expression.
"Take your good stuff in exchange!"
Leng Linglong showed no mercy when it came to slaughtering her son.
"Then forget it!"
Zhao Junhuan curled his lips and said that it was the least profitable to do business with his mother. He had learned his lesson after being deceived countless times.
"Linglong, where is the stone that hit Zhao Ting'er?"
The old prime minister pushed his grandson's head to the side, walked up to Leng Linglong and asked.
"Oh, that one. Before I threw it, I used my inner strength to break it into pieces. When it hit Zhao Ting'er and fell into the toilet, the stone broke into small pieces. It would be strange if they could find it!"
Leng Linglong threw a grape into her mouth and replied with a smile, "Mom, how do you control your strength so well?"
This strength is not easy to control. Zhao Junhuan admires his mother more and more!
"That's not that difficult. I learned it from playing pranks on people when I was a kid!"
It's another prank. It's not easy to have a friend who grew up with my mother, Zhao Junhuan thought to himself as he watched Leng Linglong happily eating grapes.
"Dad, these grapes are so delicious, give me some!"
After Leng Linglong finished eating a bunch of grapes, she looked at the plate with shining eyes and asked the old prime minister for more with a smile.
In the past, whenever her father got something delicious, he would share some with them. But this time, the food his son brought back, his father-in-law actually ordered people to move it to his yard and did not share any with them. She had done a great job this time, so she had to take the opportunity to ask for some.
This thing tastes better when you rush to eat it!
Upon hearing this, the old prime minister looked at the grapes on the plate with a tangled face, and finally gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Okay, seeing that Zhao Ting'er is defeated, Dad is happy, and I will give you two bunches of grapes!"
"Dad, give me another plate of jerky!"
Leng Linglong rolled her eyes and said.
"Half a plate, no more!"
The old prime minister looked reluctant and said in a stingy tone.
"Okay, half a plate then!"
Leng Linglong deftly took out two bunches of grapes and half a plate of dried meat from the old prime minister's bedroom.
I really don’t know what my father-in-law was thinking. Why did he hide this thing in the bedroom? They don’t dare to steal it!
Seeing her father-in-law happily chewing dried meat, Leng Linglong approached him and asked curiously, "Dad, why do you suddenly hate Zhao Ting'er?"
"I've always hated her, okay? It's just that I've become even more annoyed with her lately!"
The old prime minister thought of Zhao Ting'er and blew his beard unhappily!
Afraid that his mother would continue to ask, Zhao Junhuan quickly interrupted, "Mother, do you think Zhao Ting'er will obediently hand over the title deed of the hot spring manor?"
"Who knows? If she doesn't send the deed to me today, I will go to her house to ask for it tomorrow!"
Leng Linglong waved her hand and spoke loudly.
The old prime minister was about to speak when he saw the old butler coming in. He swallowed his words and patted Leng Linglong and her son who were still in front of him. Leng Linglong and Zhao Junhuan, who were half lying on the table, quickly returned to their stools and sat down obediently.
"Butler, what's the matter?"
The old prime minister looked at the mother and son who moved in unison, a smile flashing in his eyes, and asked the old butler in a gentle voice.
"Master, General Cao is outside asking for an audience with a bunch of gifts!"
The old butler reported respectfully.
