Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Chapter 402 I’m worried about you
Zhao Zhi refused coldly: "No, I won't be able to live here for long, so there is no need to waste money and thoughts on me."

Zhao Mingtang was as tough as ever: "Even if you only live here for one day, you are still the eldest daughter of my Zhao family! I will ask someone to cut clothes and make jewelry for you tomorrow..."

Zhao Mingtang left in embarrassment, but Zhao Zhi was filled with excitement.

She understood what Chen Huaixian meant when he came today.

He is here to support himself.

But Huai Xian, everyone in the Zhao family has long lost any emotion. You really don’t have to be like this.

Zhao Zhi was thinking wildly when he heard footsteps entering the yard, and then the servant's voice came in: "Miss, I have been ordered by the master to serve the eldest lady."

Zhao Zhi opened the door and looked at the woman outside the door. She was sent by Mrs. Pan.

Zhao Zhi pointed to the rooms with holes in the windows next to them: "Are you going to stay here tonight?"

The mother-in-law took a look at the dusty and shabby room. This... was indeed unlivable!
The mother-in-law smiled sarcastically: "It's getting late today. If I clean and tidy up, I'm afraid it will disturb the eldest lady's rest. How about I come back tomorrow?"

Zhao Zhi waved his hand lightly: "You don't have to come tomorrow. I'm used to being alone and don't need anyone to serve me."

The mother-in-law remembered Mrs. Pan's instructions: "I will still come tomorrow..."

Zhao Zhi became impatient: "Get out!"

The mother-in-law was shocked: "This... eldest lady..."

Zhao Zhi looked at the mother-in-law coldly: "Go back and tell Mrs. Pan that I will be leaving soon and tell her to spend less time on me."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

The mother-in-law was kicked out and hurried back to the main courtyard.

In the main courtyard, Pan and Zhao Mingtang were sitting opposite each other, silently.

The couple had a quarrel just now. In order to show that she really did not deliberately defraud Zhao Zhi, Pan sent the most powerful woman around him.

As a result, the mother-in-law was sent back after a while.

In front of the master, the mother-in-law added words of jealousy and said what she said about being kicked out by Zhao Zhi.

After the mother-in-law left, Mrs. Pan looked aggrieved: "Master, you see, I have tried my best, but she doesn't appreciate it..."

"Why don't you see where you can go and tell the Marquis about this? Our Xiyun admires the Marquis..."

Zhao Mingtang sneered: "Ms. Pan, have you gone crazy because of success?"

"Do you think that the Marquis is a servant maintained by our family? You can match him with whomever you want?"

"That's the person who will have the opportunity to be... in the future!" Zhao Mingtang said, pointing to the beam above his head.

Mrs. Pan's heart trembled when she heard this: If it weren't for this, how could her beautiful daughter fall in love with the unshaven Chen Huaixian? !

It’s scary to look at, okay? !
It's also strange that Chen Huaixian doesn't like Xiyun who is as beautiful as a flower, but he actually falls in love with that manly Zhao Zhi!
Mrs. Pan is also a woman, and she can see Chen Huaixian's interest in and protection of Zhao Zhi at a glance.

Otherwise, a dignified prince would not comment on a woman's clothes and jewelry.

What's more, this woman is still waiting to be married...

But she also knew that Zhao Mingtang was right: Chen Huai was now very popular in the capital, how could he marry whomever she wanted him to marry? !
After thinking about it, Mrs. Pan decided to give in first: "Then what do you say? I will listen to you."

Zhao Mingtang felt a little better: "Zhao Zhi doesn't want anyone to serve her, so don't let anyone go into her yard, and don't use rules to restrain her."

"Didn't the Marquis say that she has to go to Pingxi Army Yingmao every day? You can come and go as she pleases."

"The proportions in her house are based on the proportions of the eldest son. If there are any other needs that exceed the rules, you can ask someone to tell me." "The shabby yard will be repaired early tomorrow morning. It will be used as it should be." Compare it to the example of the eldest son."

Zhao Mingtang thought for a while and added: "I haven't given her a share in these years. You can provide her with it all at once."

Mrs. Pan's heart was filled with anger, but her face showed aggrieved feelings, and she was about to cry: "Yes..."

Zhao Mingtang walked away with a puff of his sleeves, and Mrs. Pan's tears rolled down her face. Her face was full of hatred, and the handkerchief was almost torn to pieces in her hands!
The mother-in-law who was sent out just now returned to the main courtyard and carefully asked for instructions: "Madam, will I still go tomorrow?"

Mrs. Pan scolded her angrily: "Why are you going? Don't you see that the master values ​​her so much?"

The mother-in-law was scolded out in fear, but she breathed a sigh of relief.

If he is really sent to follow the eldest lady, there is no way that his hard life will come as soon as the eldest lady leaves the house.

Who doesn't know that the lady has the final say in this mansion? !

……

The courtyard returned to purity, and Zhao Zhi simply locked the door bolt of the courtyard door from the inside, relaxed his shoulders, and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard in a daze.

Once upon a time, this place was also glorious and beautiful.

But after her mother passed away and her step-in-law came in, her father's concern for her quickly disappeared.

He quarreled with his father, saying that he was sorry for his mother, and his father got angry and beat him. From then on, the father and daughter gradually became estranged...

Later, he left with Divine Doctor Lu and did not return to the capital for many years, making them even more estranged from each other.

But this time when she returned to Beijing, she dreamed about her childhood in this mansion for two consecutive days.

When she woke up, she wanted to go back home and take a look to see what her small courtyard looked like now.

Unexpectedly, when I came back, I discovered that the splendid courtyard in my memory was now so dilapidated.

It is impossible to say that I am not sad or disappointed.

Just when her heart was filled with panic and emptiness, Chen Huaixian suddenly came to her home and specifically wanted to see her.

I have to say that sometimes a man's unexpected concern can actually make people feel so warm that it makes them tremble.

Chen Huaixian... I'm a little tempted, what should I do?
When Zhao Zhi thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong?" A man's voice suddenly sounded, and Zhao Zhi jumped up in fright. Only then did he realize that Chen Huaixian had arrived at some unknown moment.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Zhi stood up and looked at Chen Huaixian, his chest rising and falling.

Chen Huaixian took a step forward and held her in his arms: "I'm worried about you."

The tone was low, with obvious concern.

Zhao Zhi felt a little awkward: "I'm fine. I've gotten used to it after so many years."

"If I wasn't used to it, how could I have survived all these years?"

Chen Huaixian hugged her back to the room, and then softly told her the reason why he came.

"When I learned that you were returning home, I was afraid that you would be wronged, so I specifically said that I wanted to see all of my legitimate daughters..."

Entering the room, Chen Huaixian also saw a particularly abrupt boudoir, which was even more heartbreaking than the real bare walls.

It's not that this family can't afford good things, it's that they don't even think of giving her good things.

The empty boudoir paired with the brand-new brocade bedding looked particularly incongruous.
