After giving way to my husband's sweetheart

Chapter 16 Cousin Follow Me Back
The Sima family's family temple is on the Zhuangzi in the outskirts of the city. When they arrived at the place, servants in charge came out to welcome them. Mrs. Tai led a group of people into the family temple and was led to the front hall.

The front hall of the temple is a temple, the main hall is dedicated to Bodhisattva Arhats and some monks, and the back hall is the Sima Family Ancestral Temple.

Sima Rui escorted Mrs. Tai and Luo Fu to the front hall, and he said goodbye: "Grandmother and cousin go in and offer incense first, I will go to the backyard to find Master Xiyun to play chess."

Seeing that her grandson was about to slip away, Mrs. Tai smiled and teased him: "You are not too young, since you are here today, why don't you ask the Bodhisattva for a marriage."

Sima Rui smiled slightly, his handsome face was clear: "Fate is predetermined, how can it be obtained by asking for it?"

Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "Since you don't want to go in, I won't force you, then Afu and I will go to burn incense to the Bodhisattva first."

Sima Rui nodded to Mrs. Tai, said goodbye to Love who was beside her, and then turned and left.

After Mrs. Tai took Luo Fu to burn incense for the Bodhisattva, she glanced at Luo Fu's thoughtful appearance, and said softly: "Your aunt lives in the backyard now, if you want to see her, go over there."

Luo Fufu thanked Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai ordered a novice to take Luo Fu to find the second wife, and she followed the mage to the Zen hall to listen to scriptures.

The backyard was far away, and it took a lot of effort for Love to follow the shaman all the way to the aunt's residence.This is a quiet small courtyard with two entrances and two exits. The courtyard is shaded by green pines and vines hang down, which looks elegant and tidy.

The maid next to Luo Shi was sweeping the yard, she looked up and saw it was Luo Fu, greeted her quickly and welcomed her into the yard, and hurriedly called to the main house: "Second Madam, Second Madam, look Who's coming."

Luo family heard the sound and pushed the door out. Seeing that it was Luo Fu, she froze in place for a moment, and when she came to her senses, the aunt and nephew couldn't help hugging each other and choked up.

The servants helped the aunt and nephew into the house. Luo Shi touched Luo Fu's face and said with pity: "Afu has lost a lot of weight. How is Eldest Young Master treating you? How is your situation in Sima Mansion?"

The aunt's situation was already difficult enough, and Love didn't want to make her sad any more, so she just smiled and said that everything was fine.

Only then did Luo Shi show a smile, and replied: "If you are well, Auntie will be less worried."

Love replied: "Auntie has to take good care of herself. I am young, so Auntie doesn't have to worry about me."

Luo clapped his niece's hand, and sighed: "Although the eldest son is a bit rebellious, he has always loved you. If our family does not fail, you should marry him as a regular wife. It's a pity, you can only marry him now." I am wronged to be your concubine."

With that said, the Luo family looked at the niece who was as beautiful as a flower and had a bookish demeanor, and said with a wry smile: "My daughter of the Luo family is so talented and beautiful, it's a pity that good fortune tricks people."

On the contrary, Luo Fu comforted her aunt and said, "Whether it's the main wife or the concubine, as long as I don't change my mind, I won't worry about it."

Upon hearing this, the Luo family smiled happily and said, "Afu is worthy of being a daughter of my Luo family, she is a virtuous one."

It's not easy to meet her aunt and nephew once, so Luo Fu didn't want to get too entangled in her affairs, so she directly discussed with her aunt, "Cousin Chu Ge is going to enter the palace, what is my aunt's plan?"

Although the Luo family is not in the mansion, she has naturally heard about such a big event.

Hearing Luo Fu mention this, Luo couldn't help but shed tears and said: "I originally thought that because of my status as a criminal minister's daughter, this child's marriage would be affected, but I didn't expect that the Sima family would send her into the palace. The matter has been decided, not to mention that I have been relegated to a concubine and I can't be the master, even in the past, since the Sima family made this plan, I would not be able to save my child."

Don't say that Sima Chuyu, the second wife, is the eldest daughter Sima Chuyu, who was ruthlessly sent to the palace back then.

While talking, Luo Shi felt sad, and said sadly: "The girls of the Sima family have always been involuntary, and there is nothing they can do about it."

Love tried tears for her aunt, and said in a low voice, "I would like to have something personal with my aunt."

Hearing this, the Luo family withdrew the servants in the house, leaving only the aunt and nephew in the house, Luo family asked: "Afu, do you have a way to save Ge'er?"

Love replied: "Entering the palace is a dead end. Instead of that, it's better to let my cousin go away."

Hearing this, Luo Shi was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and said: "Although this move is dangerous, it's the only way."

For the sake of her daughter's future, the Luo family immediately made up her mind and replied: "It's just that Ge'er is a weak girl, and our Luo family has fallen, where can she go?"

Luo Fu replied: "Cousin and Young Master Zhou of the Marquis of Yongping are in love with each other, why don't we let them go together, as long as we leave the capital, the sea and the sky are wide outside, so we don't have to worry about not having a place for them."

Luo took Luo Fu's hand, nodded and said, "Auntie knows that you have always had ideas since you were a child, but it's a pity that Auntie was trapped here and couldn't help herself, so Auntie entrusted Ge'er to you."

The two aunts and nephews had an agreement, and Luo Fu said goodbye to her aunt and went back to find Mrs. Tai.

When she was halfway there, there was a sound of spring thunder, and then it began to rain.

Love hid under a big tree, hoping that the rain would stop before going on, but who knew that the spring rain was getting heavier and heavier. She came out alone without any entourage. Seeing that the thunder and rain could not make the trip, Love was looking at the sky Worried, I never thought that Sima Rui would come looking for him holding an umbrella.

When Sima Rui met Luo Fu, he kept a close distance from her and said: "When my grandmother saw it was raining, she ordered me to come and look for my cousin. I thought my cousin was still with my second aunt. I never thought you were trapped." Here it is."

As he spoke, he took out a dry cloak from his pocket, handed it to Love, and said, "It's raining and windy, cousin, please wear this to keep out the cold."

Love said "thank you", took the cloak and put it on, Sima Rui handed her an umbrella, and said, "I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, cousin, come with me."

Love nodded in agreement, she held an umbrella and followed Sima Rui back.

This villa is very big, and it takes a long way to get back to the front yard from here. The road is difficult due to heavy wind and rain. Sima Rui walks on the windward side, trying to shield Love from the wind and rain. He protects Love all the way. She went back to the front yard.

"The mountain road is difficult to travel in rainy days. I'm afraid we will spend the night here. When I came, I ordered them to prepare a clean meditation room for my grandmother and cousin." Sima Ruiyang pointed to a room in front of him and said: "Then The room belongs to my cousin, you go in, I will go to the backyard to find some servants to take care of you later, my cousin just needs to stay at ease."

Luo Fu thanked Sima Rui with a bow, and walked towards the meditation room holding an umbrella.

Sima Rui didn't leave immediately, he stood where he was, watched Luo Fu enter the meditation room, and then turned and left.
