The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 73
"Whatever you think." The woman was stubborn, and Zhao Yunting didn't bother to reason anymore, so he glanced at her coldly: "The Duke's mansion has collapsed, your father is far away in the sky, and now Chengyuan is brave and resourceful, and he knows kung fu." He remembers how you treated him back then, if you kept your duty, he might just give you mother and son a cold face, if you provoke him, Han'er might not live long."

After saying that, he left in a flick of his sleeves.

Her son is in danger of life?

Qin froze on the spot, Zhao Chen's tall and mighty body appeared in front of her eyes, and her Han'er was still a child...

"Master Hou, Lord Hou!" She chased after him in a panic and couldn't believe it. Zhao Yunting kept walking. Qin Shi stepped forward and wanted to hug his arm, but Zhao Yunting threw it out with his backhand, and fell to the ground and slid out The distance, the head almost hit the side of the column.

For a moment, Qin's mind went blank, and when she recovered, tears had already fallen.

She barely sat up with her arms propped up, instead of supporting the crooked hairpin on her head, or looking at her bruised wrist, she just stared blankly at the man not far away.He was too tall, and she had to lean her neck up. She didn't know whether it was because the tears streaming down her neck were too cold, or the man's calm and ruthless face was too cold, and she couldn't help shaking.

It was cold and hurt.

She is the apple of the eye of the Duke's Mansion. Since she was a child, she has only been beaten once by the man in front of her. Half of her face was swollen for more than ten years before the swelling subsided.Today, he hit her again...

The pain in her body couldn't compare to the despair in her heart. Qin shi knelt and crawled in front of the man, looked up at him, and burst into tears: "Master Hou, what do you mean? He wants to attack Han'er? Master Hou , Han'er is your own flesh and blood, you knew he would harm Han'er, yet you still let him come back? Tiger poison doesn't eat its offspring, how can you be so cruel?"

"When you framed Cheng Yuan, did you ever think that he is also my flesh and blood?"

No matter how pitifully she cried, Zhao Yunting was unmoved. He took a step back to avoid Qin's hand trying to pull his clothes, raised his head, and looked at the lanterns hanging on both sides of the corridor: "Both of them are my flesh and blood. You know in your heart who I value more. But I am not cruel enough to disregard Han'er's life. As long as you are your Madam Hou, I will try my best to keep him, but if you do something to anger Cheng Yuan, something will happen to Han'er in the future. , it’s too late for you to regret it, don’t blame me for not reminding you today.”

He said the last few words as he walked.

Sitting on the ground, Qin looked at his back with blurred eyes, but this time she didn't catch up.

She cared more about her son's life than a man.

If, if the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the Duke's Mansion hadn't collapsed, and there were still people supporting her, would Zhao Chen never dare to come back?
When the new emperor came to the throne, Qin knew that her husband had contributed a lot, and also knew that her father, General Zhenbei, had contributed a lot.Her husband took refuge in Xindi, and she understood why her father wanted to help the enemy?If father and uncle joined forces to assist the prince, would things be different?Father, she knew that the prince favored the concubine's room and caused the princess's sister to give birth to two dead, but the sister had been dead for so many years, why didn't the father think about her living daughter?As long as the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the Duke's Mansion will win even more. No matter how unwilling the husband is, even if he deals with her, it will be better than Han'er being threatened by others when she is alone in the vacant house...

In the bleak cold wind, Qin covered her face and began to cry.

Wangzhuxuan.

Ah Ju is dressing up under the service of Mother Jiang, Lv Yun and others, and has no time to look at her new home.

The voice of the little maid calling for someone came from the outside, Ah Ju looked at the door from the mirror, and saw Zhao Chen who had already changed into a homely robe came in.The eyes of the two met in the mirror, and the man smiled lightly at her. Ah Ju's body immediately relaxed a lot, and asked him softly, "Have you made arrangements for Mother?"

There are maidservants around her, Zhao Chen didn't come over, sat on the couch and drank tea, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, everything is fine with mother, I don't have time today, I will take you there tomorrow morning. Xinlanyuan There are two flower houses in the backyard, and they are full of orchids, you can enjoy watching them.” He stretched out his right hand, which had been carried behind his back, to the front, and shook it at her.

He held a green-petaled orchid in his hand and smiled triumphantly.

He plucked a flower, maybe secretly behind his mother-in-law's back, Ah Ju glanced at him, stopped talking to him, but the corners of his mouth curled up.

After dressing up, Mother Jiang supported Aju to stand up, led her to the full-length mirror, turned her head and asked Zhao Chen with a smile: "Look, grandma, how well is grandma dressed?" After entering the mansion, she followed from Tongwan These old people have also changed their names, and no longer call them young masters.

When Ah Ju got up, Zhao Chen had already stood up.

It was the first time for the bride to come in tonight, and she was going to serve tea to Mrs. Hou Ye, so she was dressed very festively.There was a real red tapestry jacket on top, and a long skirt embroidered with orchids of the same color underneath. Although it was a winter dress, her exquisite figure didn't affect her in the slightest.She raised her eyelids to look at him, her watery eyes shimmered, the brilliance even eclipsed the ruby ​​golden phoenix step on her black hair.

The husband and wife stared at each other, Mother Jiang quietly winked at Lvyun and the others, and quietly retreated.

The man stared at her and said nothing, Ah Ju felt a little embarrassed, and urged him in a low voice: "Okay, let's go over quickly, don't make people wait."

He came with sweet words casually, but every time she heard her blushing and her heart beating, Ah Ju lowered her head, raised her hand to hold the jade pendant around his waist, touched it twice and asked him softly: "Then what if I don't look good?" Do you like it too?

This... Zhao Chen really hadn't considered this issue.

Did not get a reply right away, Ah Ju paused and let go of his jade pendant.

Her small mouth pouted slightly, obviously upset, Zhao Chen smiled and held her still hand, pressed it on his chest and said: "If you are not good-looking, I might really not notice you, but If you only had this alluring appearance and your temperament was not to my liking, I wouldn't try my best to marry you."

Being honest, praising and self-deprecating, various emotions flashed through Ah Ju's heart, and finally he couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Chen raised her chin, pressed her forehead and looked into her eyes: "Don't think too much, if there is no if, I like your beauty, I also like your pure kindness, and I also like your stupidity. Anyway, I like you, even if others have The same is better than you, as long as she is not you, I will not take a second look, understand?"

Ah Ju looked at him and wanted to nod, when Mammy Jiang suddenly reminded her from outside.

She couldn't speak anymore, but there was a satisfaction and sweetness in Taohua's eyes that was more effective than any words.

Zhao Chen kissed the corner of her curled mouth, "Let's go, I'll listen to you when I come back."

The couple stepped into Mrs. Tai's Hall of Honor and Longevity, and the hall was already full of people.

Hearing the servant girl's report that the grandpa and grandma are coming, everyone couldn't help but look towards the door. When Ah Ju stepped into the threshold half a step behind Zhao Chen, he was as experienced as Mrs. Tai and as calm and solemn as Zhao Yunting. They were all stunned for a moment.

And Qin, who was sitting under Zhao Yunting, secretly clenched the veil, all her pain today was caused by Zhao Chen, the better he lives, the more he will hinder her eyes.

Mrs. Tai didn't pay attention to Ah Ju for too long, but stared at Zhao Chen in a daze.Too much alike, the father and son were born too much alike, it wasn't so obvious when they didn't grow up when they were young, but now the eldest grandson is full of heroic vigor, just like his father back then.What is rare is that although the eldest grandson lives in the country, he has an outstanding bearing but is not inferior to the young master of any family. He is capable at first glance.

There are two grandsons beside her, one is a concubine, and the other is still a baby. Suddenly seeing the eldest grandson who is sure to win a lot of applause, Mrs. Tai felt a surge of pride in her heart, and she showed a few smiles from the bottom of her heart. He called out: "Chengyuan, bring your daughter-in-law to the front to show grandma. You said that you have lived outside for so many years, but you miss grandma badly."

Zhao Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at the empty grand master's chair opposite Zhao Yunting, and walked over with Ah Ju.

Half of the mother's suffering came from Mrs. Tai. If the Duke's government hinted that Mrs. Tai flatly refused when they got married, the Duke's government might not take action against the Ning family.It's just that Mrs. Tai is different from the Qin family. She is his legitimate grandmother. She respects filial piety in this dynasty. It's okay for him to walk around outside. Ah Ju lives in the Hou Mansion, and her reputation will be damaged if she becomes stiff, so it is impossible to completely deny Mrs. Tai .But it was impossible for Zhao Chen to greet him with a smile, he would answer Mrs. Tai's questions, concise and to the point, without saying anything extra.

Mrs. Tai is not stupid, she understands that the eldest grandson is dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction must be instigated by Ning.Thinking of her ex-daughter-in-law who came back from the dead, Mrs. Tai's smile turned slightly cold, and she cast her eyes on Ah Ju.

Ah Ju sized her up softly, demure and beautiful, as pretty as a flower.

Mrs. Tai's heart sank.

She just knew that if a country girl hadn't been outstanding in appearance, how could she seduce the soul of the eldest son of the Hou family?Looking honest, he may have used some kind of seductive means.Glancing at the orchids on Ah Ju's dress, Mrs. Tai realized that this granddaughter-in-law was somewhat similar to Ning's, and she became even more displeased.It's not enough for a son to be planted on Ning's body, so do you have to pay for another great grandson?

Desiring to criticize a few words, looking at the son sitting on the side, Mrs. Tai swallowed the words she had prepared, smiled and praised Ah Ju, and then ordered the maid to prepare a futon and invite the uncle and grandma to serve tea.

Respect Mrs. Tai first, Mrs. Tai didn't use the jadeite bracelet that she had prepared long ago and was put away by the big maid, but put the agarwood Buddha bead bracelet that she had been wearing for many years and had been consecrated by eminent monks on Ah Ju's hand.Whether she waits to see her daughter-in-law or not, she wants to win over this eldest grandson.

Zhao Chen glanced at it, and after thanking Ah Ju together, he went to Zhao Yunting's side calmly.Kowtow to his father, and then kowtow in front of the empty chair opposite Zhao Yunting to represent Ning's.When the couple kowtowed, everyone in the room watched silently, no matter what they thought in their hearts, there was no strange expression on their faces.

Zhao Yunting had given good things in private, but this time he only gave Aju two seals, and then Dai Ning gave his daughter-in-law a whole set of gold and jade hair noodles, a box full of jewels.

Zhao Chen quietly winked at his wife, married once, offered tea three times, his wife got a lot of good things.

Then it was Zhao Qing and Zhao Yi's turn. After seeing the gift, Ah Ju took the prepared meeting gift from Jin Shu Jinmo and handed it to the two of them.

Zhao Han and Qin Shi sat on the side, and they didn't need to say hello.

After the lap was over, Zhao Yunting said, "Okay, everyone in the family has met. Tomorrow, Chengyuan, you will post a post to the two aunts' homes, and take your wife to visit them before the year."
