The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 116 The house is full of clouds (2)
Just after feeding her daughter, Mammy Jiang said that Zhao Chen had brought Zeng Xuerou here. She was in a daze for a moment, and she recovered after seeing the rare anxiety on Nanny Jiang's face, and said calmly, "Mommy Let's prepare some tea." After speaking, he really calmed down a bit, Zhao Chen is not that kind of person, and if he really wanted Zeng Xuerou, he wouldn't take Wang Zhuxuan back directly, he must have deep meaning in doing so.

Mother Jiang moved her mouth, sighed one last time, and went out to prepare.

Ah Ju sat absent-mindedly on the top of the kang, staring at the curtain.

Zhao Chen still sat outside for a while before leading Zeng Xuerou into the inner room, and directly said to his wife who wanted to get up: "You sit down, I have something to say to Miss Zeng, just listen."

He looked the same as before, looking at her eyes calm and calm, without any guilt or indifference, Ah Ju's hanging heart slowly fell back, and nodded to Zeng Xuerou, seeing her standing cautiously in front of the kang, Ah Ju asked She sat on the kang.In any case, before things are broken, there are still some etiquettes that need to be discussed.

Zeng Xuerou looked at Zhao Chen, and sat on the edge of the kang. After receiving the tea from Mother Jiang, she looked down at the tea.What does this man mean by calling her cousin in front of the elders, and Miss Zeng when he gets here?
Zhao Chen asked Mother Jiang to guard outside, not to let the servant girls approach the inner room. After a while, he went straight to the point: "Miss Zeng, I wonder how long you plan to stay in the Hou Mansion this time?"

"Grandmother said that after the full moon for Cancan, she and the third uncle will go back to Liaodong, and leave me to be filial to my aunt. I don't know when I will pick me up. My eldest brother will participate in the Spring Festival next year, and my aunt asked him to live in Hou If you can stay in the capital after the Spring Festival, then you will make another plan." Zeng Xuerou replied obediently.

"Then do you know why Mrs. Tai suddenly asked a girl from the Zeng family to come over to fulfill her filial piety?" Zhao Chen asked chattingly while teasing his daughter, "I heard that there are four girls in the Zeng family, why didn't Mrs. Zeng bring her favorite second wife along?" The third girl, but chose the eldest granddaughter who is usually neglected?"

Ah Ju's eyes widened, and she looked at her husband in disbelief. He even found out about the situation at the Zeng's house?

Zhao Chenruo felt something, and raised his eyes to look at her, showing a doting smile because of her silly appearance.

Zeng Xuerou didn't see the little intimacy between the husband and wife, she lowered her eyes, her hand holding the tea bowl trembled slightly, she just felt as if she was stripped of her clothes and thrown outside, being looked down upon and ridiculed.

Her parents passed away early, leaving her and her younger brother to depend on each other. The housekeeper of the second aunt in the house did a lot of things for their siblings, and it was all because of her desperate efforts to curry favor with the old lady in front of the old lady that she was able to get enough food and clothing.A letter from the capital last month informed that Mrs. Hou's wife intended to pick someone for her eldest grandson. Except for the ten-year-old little cousin, the other two cousins ​​almost started fighting.Zeng Xuerou stayed away, not wanting to get involved, but in the end the old lady still chose her, bluntly saying that if she wants her brother to live well, she must please Zhao Chen.

Her younger brother is only 11 years old and is still studying in school. He is so smart and sensible. If he can't study, his life will be over.

Zeng Xuerou had no choice. On the way to Beijing, she also thought about it for a long time.Since Mrs. Tai doesn't like the current eldest grandson-in-law, she will probably find someone to replace her sooner or later, anyway, so why not try her best?If she didn't marry Zhao Chen, she would not be able to decide on her marriage. Instead of being sent to a worse family by the Zeng family, Zhao Chen was young and promising, and she was indeed worth fighting for.

But now that Zhao Chen asked this question, he obviously knew the purpose of their coming to Beijing.

Zeng Xuerou didn't know what to say, she stood up and put the tea bowl back on the table, and said goodbye with a pale face: "Xuerou understands, cousin and sister-in-law, don't worry, Xuerou will not do stupid things again." Her good looks attracted her to come to her actively, and Zeng Xuerou could also take advantage of the situation to pretend to be false, but now that the man has shown that he doesn't have that kind of intention, she can't do anything to seduce her by any means.

"and many more."

Zhao Chen let go of his daughter's hand, looked at her sideways, asked her to sit back, and said unhurriedly: "No matter what Mrs. Madam Zeng thinks, I call you over tonight, just to let you understand that apart from my wife, I You won't be tempted by other women, if you can really cut off the thoughts you shouldn't have before, that would be great."

Zeng Xuerou pursed her lips, "I will do what I say, and I will never take the initiative to cause trouble for my cousin and sister-in-law, but I don't guarantee that the two old ladies will continue to do stupid things. Since my cousin has inquired about it, he should understand what I mean. Situation." Thinking that this matter would not end for the siblings, her eyes became sour, and she hurriedly raised her head slightly to keep her tears from falling.

The girl was stubborn and pitiful, Ah Ju looked at the tears in Zeng Xuerou's eyes, and suddenly wanted to know what was going on with her.

Zhao Chen looked at his wife reassuringly, and continued: "I know your difficulties, and I don't want to push you to a dead end. How about this, what the Tai Madam and the others tell you, you just do as usual, and follow the moral ideals that are yin and yang. I don’t need to teach the girl any more. My wife is pure, kind and gentle. If she can talk to you, she will definitely want you to visit Zhuxuan as a guest in the future, so as to avoid your embarrassment. As for the future, Miss Zeng lives in Beijing, so she will inevitably go out as a guest. Your appearance, I think many famous wives will be satisfied. At that time, Zeng's family is far away in Liaodong, and it is reasonable for Hou Ye to come forward to make decisions for you. In addition, before the girl is married, I will take care of you. Afterwards, with the girl's intelligence, I think you can do it It's well arranged, don't you think?"

Zeng Xuerou is not a maid, and he is not something he can send away casually. Mrs. Tai insisted on keeping her in the Hou Mansion, so he could not say anything to his father. It makes the wife's wild thoughts, and makes Mrs. Tai honest for a while.When Zeng Xuerou makes a marriage with someone else in the future, he would like to see how wonderful Madam Tai's face will be. The maids around her are unreliable, and neither is her niece and grandniece. What else can she do but give up?If he can get angry, he will be happy to see it succeed.

He had his own thoughts, but for Zeng Xuerou, this plan was a gift of rebirth. Thinking that the marriage he was most worried about and his younger brother had all been settled, Zeng Xuerou knelt down with a plop, crying and thanking: "My cousin's brother Well, Xuerou and her younger brother will never forget how much they offended her cousin during the day, please forgive Xuerou once, from now on Xuerou will put her cousin first and dare not be disrespectful."

Zhao Chen didn't let her get up, and explained the situation of the Zeng family to his wife in a low voice.

Ah Ju is also a sister, so she immediately understood Zeng Xuerou's embarrassment, besides, Zeng Xuerou never said anything excessive during the day, the words that disliked Cancan were said by the two old ladies, Zeng Xuerou didn't intervene, thinking about it I also don't want to make things difficult for her.

Thinking of this, Ah Ju hurriedly said to the kneeling girl: "Cousin, get up quickly, you didn't mean to."

Zeng Xuerou lowered her head and wiped her tears, she stood up after she recovered, and said to Ah Ju with red eyes: "Biao sister-in-law is so kind."

Before Ah Ju said anything, Zhao Chen reminded in a cold voice: "For the sake of your siblings, I have given you a clear way. If you don't know what to do and play tricks in front of us, I will catch you." Even if it's a small mistake, you just wait to go underground to reunite with your brother."

Zeng Xuerou is not timid: "As long as my cousin does what he says, I will not let my life go to my death."

Zhao Chen glanced at her, his expression slightly relaxed: "If you can really do it, I don't mind recognizing you as my cousin when you marry someone in the future."

Zeng Xuerou's eyes lit up.She and Zhao Chen's cousins ​​were separated by a generation, although they were related, if Zhao Chen didn't take the initiative to walk with her, the cousins ​​would be nothing.Now that Zhao Chen said this, he meant that he was willing to move around as a relative. With the current power of the Zhao family, with such a cousin, her husband's family would never look down on her in the future.

Seeing that she understood what he meant, Zhao Chen hurried away impatiently: "Go back."

He was too impolite, Ah Ju quietly tugged at one of his cuffs.

Zhao Chen turned his head and stared at her.

Zeng Xuerou laughed softly, seeing Zhao Chen hugging the little girl with her father's big hands in his arms, her heart also relaxed, and said to Aju sincerely: "Cousin, I really like Cancan, it's getting late today, change I'll see you again someday, okay?"

She smiled sincerely, Ah Ju nodded, and told her with a smile: "Then walk slowly on the road, and be careful not to fall."

Zeng Xuerou smiled back, and before going out, she added in a low voice: "My cousin treats you like this, cousin sister-in-law, you are so lucky." After speaking, she really left without delay.

Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually going away, Ah Ju suddenly felt emotional.The girl who was treated as an enemy before became a friend in the blink of an eye, and this is all thanks to Zhao Chen's few words, and it is even more rare for him to call someone over and say it in front of her, which is more guaranteed than any love words in private. Let her feel at ease.

She looked at her husband, who was pretending to eat his daughter's little hand, playing like a child.

Aju stared at it for a while, and called out to Mother Jiang, but unexpectedly, the man put down the child and rushed over, pinning her down in the blink of an eye.Ah Ju was dumbfounded, and asked in shock, "What are you doing?"

"What do I do, what do you want to do?" Zhao Chen squeezed her through gritted teeth, stared into her eyes and asked, "I've done so much for you, don't you even say thank you?" He was still waiting for her to come over She took the initiative to hug him and praise him, but she just stared at him, turned her head and called someone else.

His hands were still fidgeting, Ah Ju stammered in reply, looking at the man's peachy eyes as if water was in his eyes: "I, I just want to thank you, seeing you playing with Cancan, I want to let Madam Jiang Mammy brings the food first, aren't you full over there? Stop quickly, your clothes will get wet again..."

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and when the man approached, she could only bite her lip and bear it.

But Zhao Chen didn't eat it for long, the head of the kang was peeing again, he was quiet when he was peeing, but after that he didn't get timely care from his parents, he immediately curled his lips and started to cry.

As soon as his daughter cried, Zhao Chen immediately discarded the delicious food in his mouth, and skillfully changed his daughter's diaper, smiling while looking at his disheveled wife.Ah Ju glared at him, quickly tidied herself up, and called Mother Jiang to bring over Zhao Chen's dinner.

When Zhao Chen was eating, Ah Ju coaxed his sleepy daughter to sleep.

After the dinner table was removed and the lights were turned off, she got into the man's arms, put her arms around his neck and said softly: "You are so kind to me." It couldn't be better.

Zhao Chen lightly rubbed her wrist, and suddenly turned up, his voice in the dark was hoarse and mellow: "Then how do you thank me?"

In fact, you don't need to thank her, she is his wife and his daughter's mother, if he doesn't treat her well, who will he treat well?

However, when his wife kissed him jerky and awkwardly, Zhao Chen closed his eyes and raised his head, thinking that such a reward would be a good taste.
