The remarriage of the high-ranking daughter

Chapter 23 Affair Everywhere (Part [-])

Besides, in the past, Chang'an always gave her whatever she wanted, why did he become so stingy today?

Isn't it just a broken hairpin, also stingy like this?
It seems that what my mother said is right, the sister-in-law is indeed different now.

"I'm sorry, miss, the slaves have been taking inventory of the things in the warehouse these days, but they dare not take them out casually. If there is something missing, the slaves can't afford it."

Zi Qi bowed her knees and saluted, and easily blocked Chen Yuqing's request, in exchange for a sharp cross-eye from her.

"well, let's get back to business."

Chang'an straightened his dress, sat upright slowly, turned his clear eyes to Chen Yuqing, and his expression became serious, "Why are you here today, just tell me!"

Chang'an didn't want to be tired of dealing with Chen Yuqing's false appearance, so he dismissed him early and left him in peace.

As expected, Chang'an has become different. Chen Yuqing looked around probingly, and finally suppressed the unwillingness in his heart, and said in a soft voice: "This time, I want to go with my sister-in-law for the chrysanthemum banquet in Shen's residence."

"Oh? Why do you want me to go?"

Chang An was startled, then smiled, "You know that I never want to go out. Didn't your brother accompany you to the Chrysanthemum Banquet in previous years?"

"The men are all having fun in the front yard, but I'm just nestling in the back yard, and I don't have anyone to accompany me. I won't be bored if my sister-in-law is with me."

Chen Yuqing pretended to be wronged and said something, but secretly paid attention to Chang An's face.

"Is that right?"

Chang An pulled the corner of his mouth, and smiled inscrutablely, making Chen Yuqing a little confused, but still nodded guilty.

"You know my body, so... whether to go or not, I can't tell right now."

Chang An lowered his eyebrows and thought deeply, what is Chen Yuqing's idea?
As far as she knew, Chen Yuqing still had two best friends. When did the chrysanthemum banquet think of her?It seems that it must not be a good thing to be so courteous for nothing.

"Sister-in-law..."

Chen Yuqing wanted to be coquettish again, but met Chang'an's cold gaze, and couldn't help but retract the hand he had just stretched out.

"Okay, I'm tired, my sister should go back."

Chang An waved his hands, closed his eyes and leaned on the couch, obviously not wanting to say more.

Zi Qi was more than happy to send Buddha back to the mountain, she waved her slender hand, "Please, miss!"

Chen Yuqing glared at Zi Qi, then called out twice unwillingly, realizing that Chang An didn't want to talk to her anymore, gritted her teeth in hatred, stomped her feet, turned and left.

Xiaowen followed Chen Yuqing anxiously, "Miss, are we going to leave like this?"

"You saw it just now!"

Chen Yuqing stopped in her tracks, looked back, with resentment shining in her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Shen Chang'an is getting tough now, let's see how long she can stay tough! On the day of the Chrysanthemum Banquet, no matter if it was a lie, I will You must take her to the Shen family, no one can destroy my plan!"

The troika of azurite and thin silk felt was galloping on the way to Shen's mansion. Chen Yutao was lying alone on the apricot cushion embroidered with the three friends of Suihan. After leaving the book, he simply threw it on the corner of the car, lying on his back, staring at the dark car roof in a daze.

Slowly caressing his forehead with his right hand, there were two thin slits between the temples across the forehead, he still remembered how Changan smashed the jade pillow on his head, it really hurt!

Although the scars and scabs have already been scabbed and peeled off, there are still shallow marks, reminding him of what happened that day.

His wife, such a seemingly frail woman, had the courage to resist him?Thinking about it, he really underestimated her before.

Slightly closing his eyes, the image of that day immediately appeared in his mind, between his fingers... it seemed that there was still the warm touch of the delicate skin, and the faint and elegant fragrance lingered at the end of his nose, which he never knew It turns out that Chang'an is so alluring, so fascinated by him.

It's a pity——she refused his approach!
Chen Yutao sat up suddenly, his eyes became gloomy. Could this change in Chang'an be related to Wang Zhi's arrival?

All this had to make him not think deeply.

He had already ordered someone to investigate, but Wang Zhi and his party only stayed in the capital for a few days and then went south again. They seemed to have returned to the capital two days ago after hearing the news, and they might meet in Shen's residence today.

He really wanted to see what was so great about Wang Zhi, did Chang An want to reconcile with him just because of such a man?
He Li... Thinking of these two words, Chen Yutao couldn't help clenching his hands into fists. As long as he is alive for a day, Chang'an will never think about it!
"Shut up!"

The coachman stopped the carriage suddenly, Chen Yutao staggered, and couldn't help but fell a few steps forward, hitting his head on the door panel, the pain immediately made him frown and gritted his teeth, his hoarse voice was mixed with anger, "Chen San, what is going on?"

"Master," Chen San glanced behind him in awe, and naturally heard that Chen Yutao was impatient at the moment, so he hurriedly said cautiously: "It was the carriage from the Fuyuan Duke's mansion who suddenly blocked the front, and the little one was in a hurry. I just reined in the horse."

"Fuyuan Duke's Mansion?"

is her!

Chen Yutao was taken aback, frowned slightly, and his face darkened a little.

"Excuse me, is it the driver of Mr. Chen, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry?"

There was another sound of wheels rolling outside the carriage. It should be that the carriage had driven some distance away, but before Chen Yutao could think about it, another soft female voice sounded outside the carriage. Chen San glanced back, the thick and tight The car curtain blocked his sight, but seeing that his master did not refuse, he nodded timidly.

Chen Yutao reluctantly opened the curtain of the carriage, and when he saw the woman standing next to the carriage clearly, he frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Say something quickly!"

"This servant has seen Master Chen."

The woman outside the car was wearing a blue bijar with silver and red three collars and narrow sleeves, her hair was tied up in a woman's bun, her demeanor was calm, without a trace of panic or shyness, and she greeted her with skillful movements.

"Zihao, get up."

Chen Yutao obviously knew the woman, he waved his hand impatiently, and went forward with his head. He really saw a blue silk flat-roofed four-horse carriage parked at the entrance of an alley not far ahead. Being lifted up slightly by someone, he cast an ambiguous and compelling gaze.

He turned his head and looked around again. Fortunately, he had already bypassed the street, and he was under an old tree with dense shade. There were not many pedestrians here, but it would inevitably attract people's attention if they stopped for a long time. He couldn't help urging twice.

"This is a letter from my wife to Master Chen."

With a touch of Zihao on her cuff, a tiny piece of pale yellow letterhead appeared in her palm. The letterhead was filled with a strong fragrance of black orchid flowers. That Zihao nodded stiffly, and then she saluted with a smile, turned around and walked back quickly.
