Resourceful beauty

Chapter 117 Affectionate
In the main room of Qiuyuan, Mrs. Bai pushed the golden silk hibiscus cake on the table to Fang Ruxuan, her face full of doting.

After Fang Ruxuan had eaten half of it, she stopped, and Bai Shi smiled and said, "You haven't seen grandma for a long time, tell me, who do you want to plot against?"

In the past, Fang Ruxuan would show a sly smile like a little fox, but today, she is rarely serious.

"Grandmother, it will be August in a few days. Dad's situation in Wanzhou is unknown. After listening to the report sent by the Wanzhou government, my brother went to look for dad regardless. I always feel that there is something strange about it."

After King Qi left, he also sent people to follow behind to inquire about the news. He told Bai Shi about the last news. At that time, Dad was still a little helpless. In those days, he discussed with his staff and doctors for a long time. Come down to comfort the people, and the plague has been brought under control. Therefore, I don’t believe the report sent by the Wanzhou government.”

Bai's expression became serious involuntarily.

After a while, she nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll let your uncle and the others inquire about it. It's definitely better than you alone."

She nodded obediently and smiled, but Fang Ruxuan changed the subject, "However, I didn't come here for this matter today."

"Oh?"

Bai Shi also relaxed, "The little girl is playing tricks again."

Fang Ruxuan got up and moved to Bai's side, sat beside her and said softly: "My brother's wedding day is coming soon, but if the matter in the epidemic area is not resolved, my brother will never leave daddy and come back alone, I'm afraid, At that time, the day will be delayed, and there will be another moth over there."

Su Yuan tried her best to marry Su Xiu to Fang Zhengjun, in order to control the backyard of Prince Qi's mansion, and then Fang Zhengjun. When Bai knew about it, Fang Ruxuan had already made Su Yuan completely give up by her own power. When he found out afterwards, Mrs. Bo was both happy and angry.

Hearing Fang Ruxuan's words at this moment, Mrs. Bo patted Fang Ruxuan's head kindly, "It is said that the daughter is the caring little padded jacket of the parents. This is not false at all. Your mother left early, but now, you are doing it for you like this." Brother, I plan that your mother will be pleased when she sees it in the spirit of heaven."

After all, Mrs. Bai agreed in a deep voice: "Don't worry, grandma will go to say hello to Chen's mansion. In short, even if your brother can't come back on time, the young lady of the Chen family will enter the door of Prince Qi's mansion on the same day. Your brother's Yue Zhang is a good person, I think he can understand."

The old residence of the Chen Mansion is adjacent to the Su Mansion. Chen Mei's father, Chen Jingzhi, was also looked after by the Bai family when he was a child. When he passed the examination and was released as a Jinshi, he climbed step by step to the current position of governor of Fuyang. Bai Shi must have known it too.

Just like King Qi valued Chen Jingzhi very much, even though Mrs. Bai hadn't seen their family for many years, she felt that they were also people who understood righteousness.

Fang Ruxuan nodded with a smile, "I don't care about the adults. I will go back and write a letter to Sister Mei, and my grandmother will send it to me when the time comes."

Bai Shi's eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled.

When Fang Ruxuan returned to the palace, when Su Yuan asked about it, she only said that she hadn't visited her grandmother when she came back from the palace, but she didn't mention anything else.

After Fang Ruxuan left, Su Yuan curled her lips in disdain, and said to Mother Zhao beside her, "Now, the bad luck is finally their turn."

Fang Ruyu's marriage was unsatisfactory, and Fang Zhengru picked up another mess. Su Yuan felt that everything was not going well since returning to the capital, as if her character and the capital were incompatible.

Now, Fangzheng Jun's wedding day is approaching, but he has gone to Wanzhou, thousands of miles away, where floods and plagues spread, and he can't even say whether he can come back, Su Yuan is finally in a good mood.

Even if he can come back, he must not be able to catch up with the day of his big wedding. This will be his lifelong regret.

If you can't come back, that's even better.

Su Yuan thought happily in her heart, and turned her head to ask Mother Zhao, "Tell me, should we communicate with the Chen family to see how this marriage can be handled?"

Such a thing happened at this juncture, even if the Chen family did not withdraw the engagement, they would request an extension of the marriage, if Fang Zhengjun couldn't come back to this extension, there would be no need to mention it at all.

Zhao Momo thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "It's difficult to handle this matter, unless the prince and the prince can come back early. But if it can't be done, it will be thankless, and the princess should think carefully about it." .”

There was one sentence that Mother Zhao didn't say out loud, that is, instead of taking the initiative to attack, it is better to wait patiently and see how the Chen family will react.At that time, even if there is any problem, it can be pushed to Chen Fu, and Su Yuan can't fall into the wrong place.

Su Yuan nodded understandingly.

The report sent by the Wanzhou Government Office was like a bomb thrown into the water. After a short period of noise, there was a long silence. From the day Fang Zhengjun left the Prince Qi's Mansion, the backyard suddenly fell silent.

Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen wanted to take care of the inner house to calm people's hearts, so no matter how anxious they were, their faces were calm, and no one could see anything unusual.

Concubine Yun was worried about King Qi's safety, but at the same time she was afraid that Su Yuan would take advantage of the chaos to frame her mother and son. She was extremely careful every day, and Concubine Zhu was no different.

Fang Zhengru got his mother's advice, and these days he didn't dare to act recklessly anymore. Whenever he came out of the school, he never dared to go out to have fun with his friends. The maid was laughing and fooling around.

The ladies were also reading and embroidering in their own rooms, so they dared not go out easily.

For a moment, the entire Prince Qi Mansion seemed to be much quieter than before.

Until the fifth day of August, the Chen residence came.

When she heard the maidservant's message, Su Yuan was rather proud. When she changed her clothes, she looked at the delicate makeup in the bronze mirror, and said to Zhao Mama, who was giving her hairpins behind her: "As expected, you are right, the Chen family must be better than us. I can't hold my breath."

In the main hall of Yixin Hall, just as Su Yuan was seated, people from Chen's residence arrived, and it was still the daughter-in-law surnamed Xue who came last time.

Greeting Su Yuan and presenting the gift prepared by his wife, the daughter-in-law said with a smile: "Because of the incident in the south, people are panicking everywhere, and when I heard that the son went to Wanzhou in person, our master and wife That's why I'm in a hurry."

Su Yuan's complexion darkened, and she said embarrassingly: "I also persuaded you that day, but my son... hey, this matter, our Qi Palace is sorry for you."

The daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, Su Yuan sighed and said: "The matter has come to this point, we can understand what you are going to do, but I hope that no matter what happens, we will not let us The two families are separated, anyway, there is also the relationship between the Chen family and the Su family in the past, isn't it?"

"My concubine is serious. Seeing that our young lady is about to marry, the Chen family and Prince Qi's mansion will be in-laws at that time. They should be more intimate. How could they be separated? The concubine was joking..."

Thinking of what happened last time, even if the daughter-in-law knew that Su Yuan had misunderstood her meaning, when she thought that this marriage was not what she was looking forward to, the daughter-in-law felt a little shy, and stopped talking. Tactfully.

"Our lord and wife said that they are not so unreasonable people. King Qi cares about the people, and the son is eager to look forward to his father. All of this is justifiable. The Wang Mansion has arranged for another person to go to Jiangbei to pick up the relatives, and the Chen Mansion will definitely not act carelessly."

After presenting the autographed letter from the master and wife, the daughter-in-law saluted and said: "I want to send the private letter from my maidservant and my young lady to the princess, and I ask the princess to send someone to pass it on."

Su Yuan was stunned: The Chen family, didn't they come to withdraw the engagement?

After a while, she realized that she had lost her composure, so Su Yuan quickly called Qiushuang to Shu Yuxuan to find Fang Ruxuan, and concealed her surprise by drinking tea.

When Fang Ruxuan arrived at the Yixin Palace, she saw Su Yuan's calm expression showing a trace of disdain, while the daughter-in-law's expression was neither humble nor overbearing, Fang Ruxuan already knew that.

After reading Chen Mei's letter, Fang Ruxuan couldn't stop smiling.

In Fang Ruxuan's memory, Chen Mei had a gentle temperament, and she had never seen her lose her temper at anyone.

But this time, the compromise between Chen Jingzhi and Madam Chen was all because of Chen Mei.

Chen Mei said that when she learned that Fang Zhengjun had gone to Wanzhou, she had been worried all the time, and then, Mrs. Chen tactfully tried to reveal her intention to withdraw or postpone the marriage.

However, Chen Mei had a very righteous idea, and she justly said that she could not do such a thing. If her parents insisted on doing this, she could only twist her hair, and a green lantern would always accompany the ancient Buddha.

There was still half a sentence that Chen Mei didn't say, but Fang Ruxuan could tell from every word in the letter: In this life, she, Chen Mei, would not marry Fang Zhengjun.

The friendship between childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts, after so many things, not only has not become shallow, but has grown deeper. Even though Fang Zhengjun is in a dangerous place, Chen Mei's willingness to marry has never changed.

"I have to trouble Aunt Xue to bring a message to Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, please rest assured that this marriage is very important to my father, and now that there is a reason for it, the palace will only be more comprehensive in preparation, but it will not be sloppy. After August [-]th, Prince Qi's Mansion will properly arrange people to go to Jiangbei to pick up the relatives, and please let the new sister-in-law feel at ease when she gets married."

Glancing at Su Yuan, seeing that she didn't intend to speak, Fang Ruxuan smiled and said to the daughter-in-law.

"There is nothing to worry about. Before the servants came, my master and wife also repeatedly told me to make the princess feel at ease."

Smiling at Fang Ruxuan, the daughter-in-law turned around and saluted Su Yuan solemnly, but in her smiling eyes, she seemed to be saying: Don't worry, princess, our Chen family is not someone with shallow eyes. Let you down.

It wasn't until the daughter-in-law walked away that Su Yuan realized the meaning hidden in her expression, and she felt depressed for a moment.
