The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 123 Two Men Walking Together

As night fell, the cold wind blew head-on, almost freezing people's faces.

Zhao Yunting looked at the eldest son who was walking beside him.

He didn't wear a cloak, but was dressed in homely robes. He looked thin and pitiful in the cold wind, but his stern side face was not moved by the cold wind in the slightest. His eyes were looking at the light of Rongshou Hall in front of him, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed.

Zhao Yunting couldn't see the emotion in the eldest son's eyes, but he saw the long sword hanging from the eldest son's waist.

Zhao Yuan led the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who bought medicine in Rongshoutang to walk behind, leaving them some distance away. Zhao Yunting approached the eldest son a few steps, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing with a sword?" You can indulge the eldest son Xingshi to question the crime, but you can't watch him kill the grandmother with his own hands.

Zhao Chen didn't look sideways: "I won't touch her."

Zhao Yunting stopped talking, he didn't know what to say or what to think, his mother wanted to kill his son's daughter, for a moment, Zhao Yunting hoped that his mother was going to kill him.He has tossed half his life for the Zhao family, what did he get in the end?Mother, wife, and children all have a grudge against him...

Only the newborn granddaughter would smile at him sincerely because she didn't understand anything.

After entering Rongshou Hall, Zhao Yunting leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, neither looking at his mother nor his son.

They came without warning, but Mrs. Tai had lived most of her life after all, and she didn't show any panic when she saw clearly the two servants Zhao Yuan was guarding.Seeing that Zhao Yunting had no intention of speaking, she looked directly at Zhao Chen: "Chengyuan, what are you going to do?"

"They said it was Shaoyao who instructed them to buy the medicine." Zhao Chen drew out his long sword, pointed at the two servants behind him, and said in a calm voice without any waves, his eyes were as black as ink under the light, only the long sword in his hand glowed. With a frightening cold light.

The two servants were tied behind their hands, with veils stuffed in their mouths, shaking like chaff.

Mrs. Tai had never seen such a scene before, and the hand holding the prayer beads also trembled, but she quickly retracted it into her sleeve.Zhao Chen's peaceful appearance was even scarier than a ferocious ghost. Mrs. Tai looked at Zhao Yunting for help, and tried to defend herself: "Why buy medicine? Peony, you asked them to buy medicine?"

Shao Yao knelt down as early as Zhao Chen opened his mouth, her forehead touched the ground and she didn't dare to raise her eyes, she explained tremblingly: "No, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a scream, which was made by herself, because warm blood splashed on the back of her hand.Shaoyao screamed, knelt down and threw herself in front of Mrs. Tai, hugging her leg and begging for help: "Mrs. Tai, Shaoyao really didn't do anything, please persuade Mrs. Tai, Shaoyao really didn't do anything!"

Mrs. Tai was speechless at all.

She has dealt with many servant girls in her life, and even saw the servant girl being killed with a stick, but she just watched from a distance, and she couldn't see the maidservant's face before she died.But it's different now, she saw Zhao Chen wiped the necks of two servants with a sword, it was simple and neat, as if he was used to doing this kind of thing long ago!
"Yun Ting, Yun Ting, take care of him, what is he going to do!" Mrs. Tai grabbed the Buddhist beads in her hand and threw them at the man sitting on the chair pretending to be dead.

The Buddhist beads hit Zhao Yunting, and he remained motionless.

At this time, Zhao Chen had already walked up to Mrs. Tai, he looked at Mrs. Tai, but the long sword in his hand was directly inserted into the back of Shaoyao, while pressing down slowly, he stared at Mrs. Tai and said: "You know what you did yourself. Back then you bullied my mother, because you gave birth to my father, I will not collect debts from you. This year you made things difficult for Ah Ju, and I have endured it, but today you still want to bully my daughter..."

He paused, pulled out the long sword and held it in front of Mrs. Tai, so that she could see the blood on it clearly, "From now on, I have nothing to do with you, and our family will never set foot in Rongshou Hall again. Don’t even think about entering Wangzhuxuan. Let me find out that you have mischief against my mother, Ah Ju, and Cancan, and these three people will be your end.”

The thick bloody smell diffused in the room, Mrs. Tai was too shocked to speak at all, only the slight sound of water broke the dead silence.

As if Zhao Chen hadn't heard of it, he wiped the sword with Mrs. Tai's clothes, turned and left.

Mrs. Tai was dumbfounded until Zhao Chen's figure disappeared, and she collapsed on the couch and cried to Zhao Yunting: "Okay, okay, this is your good son, and you are also my good son. To commit murder in front of me, what evil did I do! You have to watch him kill me to be satisfied, don't you?"

Cry old tears vertically and horizontally.

Zhao Yunting slowly opened his eyes and waved to Zhao Yuan.Zhao Yuan understood, and called a few servants to carry the three corpses out.

There were only mother and son left in the house.

Zhao Yunting got up, walked to the couch and knelt down again, his eyes dull: "Mother, please don't meddle in Chengyuan's affairs and let him live by himself. Mother can rest assured in Rongshoutang, and my son will still be happy every day. Come to see you, no matter what name your son and Chengyuan earn for the Zhao family in the future, you will have a share of the glory, and mother will give you whatever son she wants, just please don't meddle in Chengyuan's affairs, okay?"

Mrs. Tai just buried herself in her pillow and cried.

"It's late at night, mother go to bed early, and my son will come to see you tomorrow night." Zhao Yunting got up and called the servant girl to come in and help Mrs. Tai change her clothes.

After Zhao Yuan was left behind, he went to Xinlanyuan in a daze.

Ning Shi was sitting on the bed of the kang sewing new clothes for her granddaughter, when she heard Zhao Yunting come in, she looked up, and she could tell at a glance that the man had been crying.

The son is a close relative, and so is the mother. It must be uncomfortable to be caught between the two, right?

Zhao Yunting looked at his wife in a daze, and suddenly smiled: "Lan Rong, you don't seem to have changed much from 20 years ago, but I am much older. I will go first, how will you live?" He is older than her Five years old, never thought about this question before, but tonight Zhao Yunting suddenly felt that he might leave first.

In the eyes of men, there are endless vicissitudes.

Ning put the things at hand aside, and sighed: "I'm old too, I'm already a grandmother, how could it be the same as before? As for life and death, it's not sure which of us will go first. What do you want to do so far away?" .I know you are sad. In fact, it is a good thing for Chengyuan and the others to completely cut off from Rongshoutang. From now on, you will be a filial son in Rongshoutang and a good grandfather in Wangzhuxuan, so you don't have to bother to reconcile them. The relationship between the two, isn't life more leisurely?"

Zhao Yunting's eyes slowly returned to life.

That's right, it's not something he can recover from what happened today. Instead of having a headache, it's better to just live like this.

"Lan Rong, you are so kind." Zhao Yunting went to the kang, hugged his wife, and said with emotion sincerely.No matter what his wife was doing, she was still willing to care about him, so he was not alone.

Wangzhuxuan.

Zhao Chen changed his clothes in the front yard before returning to the back yard.

The light was on in the room, Cancan was already asleep, and Aju was lying in bed waiting for her husband.

As soon as Zhao Chen entered the room, he met her worried eyes, smiled, and lowered his head to kiss her.

His lips were cold, Ah Ju whispered: "Get on the kang quickly, the ground is cold."

Zhao Chen responded, kissed his daughter's sleeping face, blew on the light, undressed, and got into his wife's bed.

"How do you say it?" Ah Ju took the initiative to lean into his arms, hugged him and asked.

"Don't say anything, just warn her not to think about Zhuxuan again. Don't be afraid, Ah Ju, I will protect you both." Zhao Chen gently stroked his wife's delicate face, and promised in a low voice in the dark.

Of course Aju believed him, but she was a little worried about Zeng Xuerou: "What about my cousin? Even if she didn't leak the matter, Mrs. Tai will definitely blame her for not being able to do things well..."

Zhao Chen kissed his wife's forehead: "She is a smart person and knows what to do. My father and I will choose a marriage for her as soon as possible after the next year. Don't worry. Ah Ju, don't mention that, I want you, okay? "

Ah Ju was stunned.In the past, Zhao Chen thought, he just kissed her directly and kissed her like that, so why is there such a negotiating tone tonight?

This feeling was a bit strange, and it made her inexplicably nervous.

okay?

Ah Ju didn't speak, and slowly put his right hand into Zhao Chen's jacket, sticking against his strong chest.This is her man, she doesn't know what he is doing outside, she only knows that he has always kept his word, protecting her and their daughter.She likes to be held by him, to be pampered tenderly and powerfully by him.

When he was gentle, her heart almost melted. When he was crazy, her heart rose and fell with him. She was afraid of his strength, but she also had a kind of sincere satisfaction, proud of her man for being so brave.

But they didn't know that her water-like tolerance also dispelled the hostility in the man's heart, softened his heart, and strengthened his heart.

Beginning on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court will rest, and Zhao Yunting and his son will not have to go to the yamen.

The day before the first year of the year, Zhao Yunting sent someone to bring Qin Shi back.

Ah Ju knew that her father-in-law didn't want to take Qin Shi back to the mansion, but the emperor wanted to use Qin Shi to stabilize General Zhenbei. Father-in-law could punish Qin Shi when Qin Shi did something wrong, but he couldn't completely ignore it.

"Grandma, I went to see it just now!" Cuiyu ran back quickly, and excitedly said to Ah Ju after entering the house, "That man is so skinny that he looks like a different person, only wearing plain clothes. She no longer has the pretentiousness of the past. When the third master came up to meet him, she acted as if she didn't know the third master, her eyes were dull. By the way, Ziying beside her was gone, and the maids in Weifang Garden had also changed. The newcomer, now in charge is a thin-faced nanny, surnamed Xu, who looks very serious and scary, as if that person would look at Xu nanny's face before doing anything."

Ah Ju was a little surprised, but not too surprised, and continued to listen while coaxing her daughter.

"Hou Ye said that after repenting, the man dedicated himself to Buddha, and then he cultivated himself in Weifang Garden. The second master, the third master and the fourth girl don't need to go to Weifang Garden to pay their respects, and there is no need to report anything in the house." Cuiyu was very excited. She gloated, "Actually, she came back as if she didn't come back. She was locked in the yard and couldn't go out. It's just a different name."

Ah Ju rewarded her with a plate of pea yellow, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't say this anymore, the matter over there has nothing to do with us, don't spread it and let people say we are frivolous."

"What frivolity?" Zhao Chen walked in through the curtain.

The maids in the room were all afraid of him, even the brave as Cuiyu, she blinked at Ah Ju, and quickly backed out with the plate.

Zhao Chen didn't care, he sat next to his wife, touched his daughter's chubby hand, and asked softly, "You know everything?"

Ah Ju nodded, and didn't say much about the rest.It's entirely her own fault that Qin's end up like this, she won't sympathize with her, and she doesn't bother to ridicule her.

Zhao Chen also didn't continue to talk about this matter, lying down on his side, looking at his wife with a smile in his phoenix eyes: "It's rare to be free, do you want to go out for a stroll? The New Year is coming soon, I will take you to make some jewelry, and I will give it to my mother to watch." That's fine." The old man is pitiful enough, let him coax his granddaughter to be happy.

Ah Ju's eyes lit up, and he thought of the two younger sisters in a flash, "Call Azhu and Baozhu, especially Azhu. After she came to the capital, I first waited for labor and then confinement, and I couldn't spend time with her. , with her temperament, she must have been bored long ago."

Zhao Chen was not very happy, he wanted to go out with his wife alone, but seeing his wife was so happy, Zhao Chen had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I will send someone to talk about it later, and we will pick them up one by one in the future."

Ah Ju grinned.

Zhao Chen couldn't help but hugged him, "What are you silly? Originally, I prepared 1000 taels to buy things for you. Now that Azhu and Baozhu are here, the three of you will share. You will get less, stupid."

"Is there such a stingy uncle and brother-in-law like you?" Ah Ju deliberately teased him, "Be careful, I will tell Ah Zhu..."

"How did you tell?" Zhao Chen lowered his head and blocked her uninspired lips.

But his brother-in-law was obviously worried about the purse for nothing. The next day when the couple picked up Lin Zhu and then went to Guo's mansion to pick up Guo Baozhu, Guo Zijing and Guo Baozhu came out together.

Zhao Chen was surprised and asked Guo Zijing, "You don't need to enter the palace today?"

Guo Zijing hummed lightly, "The emperor gave you three days' leave first." He looked at Zhao Chen with some displeasure, if he hadn't proposed to take his sister out, his sister would not have acted coquettishly and begged him to go with him.

Guo Baozhu ignored them and ran to the carriage in two or three steps, "Sister-in-law Azhu, I'm coming!"

She was bluffing, Guo Zijing reluctantly walked over to help his sister, when the curtain of the car was opened, he slightly nodded towards the sisters of the Lin family inside, and quickly walked away, walking side by side with Zhao Chen.

Guo Baozhu was talking to Ah Ju, Lin Zhu secretly glanced at the man beside Zhao Chen through the gap in the curtain, and bit his lip.

If possible, she really didn't want to see Guo Zijing again.
