After giving way to my husband's sweetheart

On the second day, Luo Fu was concentrating on making embroidery in the house, when Lan Tian came in and said, "Miss, Mr. Zhao from Zhenxiufang has come and said he wants to see you."

Love stopped what she was doing, raised her eyes and asked, "Where is he?"

"Waiting outside in the yard."

When Luo Fu heard this, she put down her needlework, got up and left the house, only to see Zhao Yi'an standing in the courtyard.

He was wearing a plain brocade suit, and the afternoon sun cast mottled halos on his body through the shadows of the trees, making his figure even more slender.

Seeing Luo Fu coming out, he showed a smile on his face, and said first: "Come here rashly, don't disturb Miss Luo."

Luo Fu greeted him with a smile, looked at him and said, "Young Master Zhao, you are welcome, how did you find this place?"

Zhao Yi'an replied: "Yesterday you told me that you lived in West Street, I looked for it after inquiring about it in the market, and then I came here."

The two met yesterday, causing him to be made things difficult by Sima Chao, Love felt really sorry.

She apologized and said: "What happened yesterday, I'm really sorry, that person is the eldest son of Sima Mansion, she and I."

Love was wondering how to explain her relationship with Sima Chao to Zhao Yi'an, Zhao Yi'an took over the conversation and said, "I know everything."

Seeing Luo Fu's surprise, he explained: "The Grand Tutor only has one son and one daughter. When I heard that the Grand Tutor died, I had inquired about the Luo family. I only heard that the son of the Luo family died on the way to distribution, but I never inquired about it." When I heard about the girl, if I knew about your difficulties at that time, I should help a bunch."

After the Luo family died, the Sima family also secretly rescued her. It is impossible for ordinary people to know about such a thing.

Love smiled and replied, "It's all over."

Zhao Yi'an looked at Luo Fu and said, "You were right to leave Sima Chao's house. Sima Chao is ambitious and not a man that women can rely on."

His tone was like that of an elder, his words were straightforward but sincere, and he was really thinking of her.

Luo Fu's heart warmed up, and she replied: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for reminding me. I can understand these things now."

Zhao Yi'an nodded slightly, and said, "I'm here to ask you for something?"

She has fallen so far, what can she do to help him?

Luo Fu looked at Zhao Yi'an in surprise, and saw him slowly saying: "It will be my mother's [-]th birthday in three months. My mother likes good embroidery the most in her life. Although I have an embroidery workshop, if you look at Beijing, the embroidery workers There is no one else who can match the girl."

"So, I would like to ask the girl to embroider a perfect piece for me and dedicate it to my mother."

"Young Master Zhao is full of filial piety. I promise you that. I don't know what your father likes in his daily life. Paintings of flowers, birds and fish, or Bodhisattvas and fairy couples, these are all things I am good at."

Zhao Yi'an thought for a while, and said with a smile: "My mother is old and likes to be lively, please ask the girl to help me embroider a picture of two immortals in harmony with her, okay?"

"Okay." Love readily agreed.

Zhao Yi'an slowly took out a pouch from his sleeve pocket, held it in front of Love, and said naturally: "This is a deposit, and I will pay the balance after the finished product."

Looking at the drum head of the purse, there are 30 taels of silver in it, Luo Fu hastily declined and said, "Even if Mr. Zhao pays me, I won't need so much money."

Mr. Zhao is not a poor master. The embroidery to be given to his mother must be of the highest quality. It will take at least one or two months to complete such a thing. The family still counts on selling embroidery for a living. Although Zhao Yi'an has some connections with his father, it is impossible for Love to give him such time-consuming and laborious embroidery for nothing in such a down-and-out situation.

She can accept the reward, but she doesn't want to take advantage of him.

She said: "I embroidered it in two months, and I will charge you five taels of silver."

Zhao Yi'an replied: "Girl is based on the price of embroidery sold to me at Zhenxiufang, right?"

"It's just that the things you buy for Zhenxiufang, if you sell them on the shop, you will earn a price difference of more than seven. I gave this to my mother as a birthday present. If I also pay the price according to the embroidery I received, it would be a bit ridiculous." Not enough filial piety for my mother."

As he spoke, he stuffed the purse into Love's hands: "You just keep these."

Love frowned slightly, and postponed: "But, these are really too many."

She looked at Zhao Yi'an, and said falteringly: "I know the young master saw that I was in distress and wanted to help me, but I feel really sorry for you like this."

Zhao Yi'an didn't deny Luo Fu's words, he just said slowly: "If you feel sorry, girl, just help me finish this embroidery. I lost my father when I was young, and my mother worked so hard to raise me. It's not easy. To make her happy, the girl can be regarded as full of my filial piety."

Now that we've talked about this, Love can't justify his refusal.

She nodded and replied: "My lord, don't worry, my embroidered picture will definitely satisfy your father."

"So, there will be Miss Lao." Zhao Yi'an gave a slight salute to Luo Fu.

In the Sima mansion, Sima Chao's expression darkened after hearing Yingfeng's reply.

Yesterday when Sima Chao saw Luo Fu talking to Zhao Yi'an in Zhenxiufang, he was very upset, and when he came back, he ordered someone to check Zhao Yi'an's details, and heard Yingfeng say that today Zhao Yi'an went to West Street to look for Luo Fu, Sima Chao even overturned the jar of vinegar.

"That's Zhao Yi'an, have you found it?" Sima Chao asked Yingfeng with a gloomy face.

Yingfeng replied: "I found out a little bit, this person is from the middle of Sichuan, he is a wealthy businessman, and he has a lot of property in the capital."

When Sima Chao heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! The businessman is treacherous! It seems that he is not a good person."

Yingfeng said again: "The young one also found out that this person seems to have some relationship with Princess Huarong. He has done a lot of business in the capital, and the princess is behind him to support him."

Princess Huayang is the eldest sister of His Majesty, who ascended the throne when he was young, and it is this eldest sister who assists the government. Even now, this princess has a great influence in the court.

Sima Chao frowned when he heard the words, and confessed: "Go and check again, this Zhao Yi'an, I always think he is not just a businessman."

After Yingfeng left, Sima Chao sat alone in the study, but his heart was very confused.

The scene of Luo Fu talking with Zhao Yi'an appeared in his mind from time to time, which disturbed him from doing political affairs at all.

The battle in the north was tense, and his father had already sent three urgent letters ordering him to go to the front line, but Sima Chao still delayed again and again.

He still couldn't let Love go.

"This woman is really hard to deal with!" Sima Chao threw the teacup angrily.

Although he repeatedly told himself to put the overall situation first and not to be caught up in his children's affair, he still left Sima's mansion uncontrollably and straddled his horse straight to West Street.
