The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 711

Chapter 711: Chapter 332 Misunderstanding Resolved (Two updates) - 2

The old Empress Dowager’s face turned as black as charcoal.

"Are you here to keep me company while I eat? I think you’re asking for trouble!"

The Empress Dowager was furious! The consequences were serious!

Xiao Liulang, despondent, said, "When I was a child, I never dined with my grandmother. She didn’t care for my mother, so naturally, she didn’t care much for me either."

The fury of the Empress Dowager was stoked, then sputtered out.

About Princess Xinyang and Madam Xiao’s relationship, she had also heard. Madam Xiao had originally chosen the daughter of a wealthy family, gentle and quiet.

Nevertheless, the woman whom the Marquis of Xuanping brought home was a living Buddha statue: untouchable, resistible verbal abuse, and needed to be saluted with respect whenever one saw her.

Madam Xiao was incensed. It was said she did not like Princess Xinyang’s son much and showered much love on her two illegitimate grandsons instead.

Xiao Liulang did not mind at all. He was just playing the sympathy card.

As expected, the Empress Dowager took pity on him and, with a grim face, begrudgingly ate the vegetable she loathed.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Liulang’s corner lips.

Then, Xiao Liulang fabricated pitiable stories about his miserable life under Madam Xiao, successfully tricking the Empress Dowager into eating all the food she didn’t want to eat.

When the Empress Dowager finally came to her senses, she discovered she had eaten half a bowl more than her usual meal.

This was her normal portion at Bishui Alley, but after returning to the palace, she ate less than half of it.

She has lost weight.

Even a fool could tell that the Empress Dowager had a more comfortable meal than before.

After eating, Xiao Liulang did not rush home but went to the Book Pavilion the Empress Dowager had built for him.

The Book Pavilion was right opposite the Empress Dowager’s study, separated by a small garden.

Eunuch Qin considerately opened the window.

As long as she turned her head, the Empress Dowager could see Xiao Liulang engrossed in studying by the window of the Book Pavilion.

The Empress Dowager’s mood settled.
