Chapter 167 Speaking freely
Meng Nianrui looked up at her, but didn't say what she said. Instead, she said expressionlessly, "Can you knock before you come in?"
Cen Laifeng choked, "You, you control me, this is my home, I can come whenever I want."
After that, she pointed at the pile of fabric and said bluntly, "Finish all of this in the next two days and follow this embroidery pattern."
Meng Nianrui raised her eyes and looked at Cen Laifeng, her red lips gradually tightened.
She exhaled lightly, tried to adjust her mood, and said in a cold voice: "My eyes are not good, you can just ask the embroiderer to do it."
"It doesn't cost money to hire an embroiderer? Besides, your embroidery skills are learned from the maids in the palace. Most people can't compare to you. You have nothing to do anyway, so why not embroider two sets of clothes for Weiwei to wear when she gets engaged?"
Cen Laifeng can be said to have perfectly demonstrated the meaning of pushing for an inch.
At first, she saw that the embroidery on Meng Nianrui was beautiful, and when she heard that she did it herself, she wanted her to embroider a few handkerchiefs for Jiang Wei to show off.
After all, Jiang Wei's craftsmanship cannot be compared with Meng Nianrui's.
But later, she felt that Meng Nianrui was free anyway and lived in her house, so she had to help with something, so she got more and more fabrics for her to embroider.
Cen Laifeng thought that even if Jiang Wei couldn't use it, he could still sell it for money.
After all, Meng Nianrui's craftsmanship is very valuable.
Meng Nianrui's annoyance with Cen Laifeng reached its peak at this moment, and she said with a straight face: "If my aunt thinks that I am in the way of living here, I will ask my husband to come and take me away."
Cen Laifeng didn't expect that he really made her angry. He rolled his eyes and immediately changed his tone: "What are you talking about? I just asked you to help. If you don't want to help, forget it."
She couldn't let Meng Nianrui leave yet. Lu Beixiao gave her hundreds of taels of silver at a time. Who would pay her if she left?
Thinking of this, Cen Laifeng said indirectly, "Lu Beixiao is going to fight, why are you, a woman, going with him? Besides, your past affairs are widely spread in the military camp. If you go there, you will be a laughing stock to others. If you can find such a man, you should cherish him and don't be petty."
Every time Meng Nianrui was unwilling, Cen Laifeng would use this matter to pressure her, which was quite effective.
Seeing that Meng Nianrui was silent, she held the pile of fabrics and pretended to leave. "Okay, if you don't want to embroider now, just wait a few days."

On the other side, Lu Beixiao left on horseback. When passing through the downtown area, there were too many people and he couldn't walk fast.
He rode slowly and looked around.
After a while, he suddenly stopped, not knowing what he saw.
I saw two girls chattering not far ahead, one of them was Jiang Hong’s daughter Jiang Wei.
However, Lu Beixiao had never seen her and didn't know her.
The girl next to him asked Jiang Wei, "I heard that a relative of yours moved in, and he's from the capital. Could he be some big shot?"
It was obvious that there was some surprise in their tone. After all, in their impression, Beijing was a big city, and the people who came from there should be either rich or noble.
Jiang Wei understood the meaning of her words, waved his hand, and said with a look of disgust: "What? It's just a cousin. Her man doesn't want her anymore, and now he has found another one. He has nowhere else to go, so he lives in my house."
"Ah? Really? But I saw her once by chance and thought she was pretty. How can she be abandoned?"
Jiang Wei sneered after hearing this: "What's so beautiful about her? She's old and ugly now."
Hearing this, Lu Beixiao immediately glanced over and complained in his heart: Kids nowadays are really outspoken when speaking, I guess their upbringing is not that good either.
