Chapter 1801: Chapter 1801: Being Prepared on Both Fronts (3)
Attending an event without an invitation might be difficult, but refusing to attend one is quite simple. Just a stomachache or headache and everything is solved.
But… after thinking about what Xiaofu just told her, she beca uncertain again.
The county princess sending an invitation was normal, though they might look down on her, they still had to show respect to the Duke Residence.
But simultaneously, Princess Qi Rong had personally invited the old madam, asking her to enjoy the lotus flowers at the Princess Residence. If she doesn’t go, what if Yang Ruxin happens to be there, ets with the old madam, and says sothing?
Even though she didn’t know if Yang Ruxin saw her that day, she was still worried, for that woman was indeed very formidable.
“Miss, why did you sit up?” At this point, Xiaofu entered, “The old madam instructed you to rest well.” Then she hurriedly helped Cui Fangfang back onto the bed to lie down.
“I’m almost recovered,” Cui Fangfang smiled, then reached out to grab Xiaofu’s hand, “Sister Xiaofu, you know that I’m not really the eldest miss, just pitied by the old madam…”
Xiaofu chuckled, “You are the eldest miss of our Duke Residence now.”
“But…” Cui Fangfang sighed, pointing at the invitation, “Actually, I’m so nervous that my stomach aches…”
“Haha, I knew you’re nervous, girl.” Before Xiaofu could speak, a voice from outside was heard, then a snow-white-haired old madam ca in, “I guessed right.”
“Grandma.” Cui Fangfang hurriedly showed a respectful smile, “Why did you co over?”
“I ca to see this little girl,” Old Madam Cui sat by the bed, reached out to touch Cui Fangfang’s forehead, “It’s okay.”
“I’m sorry, Grandma,” Cui Fangfang lowered her gaze, full of grievance and discomfort.
“It’s alright,” Old Madam Cui smiled, “You’ve never experienced such an occasion before, and you’re young, it’s all normal…”
“Thank you, Grandma,” Cui Fangfang displayed an innocent smile, her effort over the past year in the residence hadn’t gone unrewarded; she finally fully won over the old madam’s affection.
However, thinking of the other mbers of the Cui Family… Cui Fangfang was still quite unwilling, for instance, her nominal parents, the Duke and his madam, seed loving yet were cordial and distant.
Those uncles and aunts treated her with re politeness.
Of course, they’re adults, needing to be cautious towards outsiders. But she had six brothers of almost the sa age, yet to such an adorable girl like her, they were all indifferent, except for one, the fourth brother Cui n, who treated her decently, thinking of sending her delicacies and toys, but he was just a simple-minded fellow.
She had once thought that if she could establish herself in the Cui Family, her future marriage wouldn’t be poor, at least Old Madam Cui would find her a match suitable to the Duke Residence. But after all, Old Madam Cui was getting older, should she leave one day, what would she do then? Thus, she needed to make two additional preparations.
Firstly, she needed to accumulate so money herself, and secondly, she had to captivate Brother Cui Hou. That brother was handso and would inherit the Duke Residence in the future, so if there wasn’t a good match for her, staying in the Duke Residence would be a good option.
