Before and after marriage, Shi Fuxin made Chu Yao feel like they were two different people.
Although Shi Fuxin's proactive expression of love and the sweet words he blurted out at every turn made Chu Yao very useful, but what followed was more panic, which made him afraid to face Shi Fuxin and couldn't help but want to run away. He doesn’t know why this is happening?
A wife who loved and attached to him, and a warm family were all what he wanted. Seeing that they were within easy reach, he ran away.
In the Supervision Department, after sending Meng Moling away, Chu Yao sat behind the table with a wry smile on his face.
He seems to be a bitch. He can't stand it when others treat him well, but he feels that this is what he should do when others treat him badly.
Chu Yao picked up a secret report on the desk and saw that it was a ginseng from the prince's party that he used for public and private purposes. A sense of familiarity and relief instantly came to his heart.
Sure enough, these are the normal conditions of his life!
He'd better take care of business.
In Prince Rong's Mansion, An Ran listened to the arrangements made by the prince's servants about her girl, and returned to Rong'an Courtyard with a bad expression. When she saw Shi Fuxin leisurely talking to Aunt Leng about the situation of each court in the palace, she couldn't help but feel worried.
walked over.
"Girl, it's getting so late. I'm afraid the third master won't be back home today."
Shi Fuxin didn't care much about this. She nodded lightly and continued to look through the collected information.
On the other hand, Aunt Leng looked at An Ran: "The girl is married and will be called 'Madam' from now on."
An Ran realized that she had called the wrong person and corrected herself, and continued to worry: "Madam, after entering the twelfth lunar month, the third master has not been back for a day. It is not okay to continue like this."
Grandma An is also very worried about this.
Madam and Third Master have been married for more than two months.
In the first month, because it was a newlywed and there was something to do with the old man Tianchi, the third master spent more time with his wife.
But in the second month, the third master only returned home once every ten days and a half.
This third month was even more extreme, probably because I was so busy at the end of the year that I didn’t even go back once.
The third master was away from home, so rumors spread in the mansion that the third master didn't like his wife. They said that the third master didn't like her at all, and he only married her to avoid marrying Princess Beiyan.
These rumors quickly spread outside the house, and now everyone in the capital knows that the wife is not liked by the third master.
Not only that, there were also rumors spread in the palace that her wife disrespected her elders and did not serve her parents-in-law. Combined with the previous rumors spread by the Liu family and the prince, the reputation of her girl was completely ruined.
Thinking of these things, Nanny Leng felt worried about the situation of her wife.
The situation in the palace is complicated. As soon as the wife got married, the old princess and the prince began to make trouble and create problems. The princess also made things difficult for the wife from time to time. In the past two months, the wife spent most of her time figuring out the personnel of the palace.
, so I didn’t care about Third Master.
She knew about Madam’s temperament. The old princess and the county prince were all accustomed to using their power to control others, which meant that Madam was destined not to get along well with them.
In this case, the only person the wife can rely on is the third master.
As long as the third master faces the madam, the madam will not be so sad.
Seeing that Nanny Leng and An Ran both had knotted brows, Shi Fuxin had no choice but to put down the information in her hands: "What a big deal, look at how worried you are."
"If you ask me, it's a good thing that Chu Yao doesn't return home. Now I have to keep my filial piety to my master. Why is he coming back? Is he going to sleep with the old princess and those concubines sent by the prince?"
The old princess sent someone over for the first time, and Shi Fuxin arranged to go directly to the sewing room.
The result was that the old princess directly sent four concubines in the name of her elders.
Afterwards, Prince Rong seemed to want to support the old princess and also sent four concubines.
Princess Guan also called Shi Fuxin over and told her not to be jealous.
Now, those eight concubines were all arranged by Shi Fuxin to the small courtyard at the end of Ronganyuan.
Even if Chu Yao doesn't go back to his house, it will always be quiet there.
Mother Leng and An Ran naturally understood this truth, and they both knew that the fundamental reason why the third master did not want to return to the palace was that he did not want to be a child-bearing tool for the palace, and it was to resist the old princess and the prince.
It's just that these things were placed on Madam's head by the people in the palace.
"But it's not a solution if the Third Master never returns home!"
Aunt Leng tried to persuade her: "You and the Third Master are newlyweds after all, and the newlywed stage is the sweetest time. If you don't take advantage of this period to deepen your relationship, the novelty will fade away as time goes by." p>
Shi Fuxin smiled: "If I want to make something fresh, I will make sure Chu Yao remembers it fresh! So don't worry, when I am free, I will find Chu Yao to contact Chu Yao."<
/p>
An Ran looked at the confident smile on Shi Fuxin's face, and thought of the several times when Madam and Third Master were alone in the room, and Third Master seemed to have fled, he hesitated and said: "Madam, do you feel that you seem to..."
....It scared the third master."
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin was stunned. She was confused at first, and then her eyes turned. Thinking of Chu Yao's evasive eyes and uncomfortable expression, she suddenly smiled: "He will get used to it."
An Ran knew that her girl was bold and her methods of doing things were a little outrageous. Some of her thoughts and behaviors were really hard to resist. She couldn't help but look at Nanny Leng, hoping she could persuade her.
An Ran could see it, and so could Nanny Leng. She thought about it and said, "Madam, some things need to be done step by step. Third Master..."
"The Third Master's identity, appearance, and abilities are all outstanding, but there is not a woman around him... This is obviously not normal."
Shi Fuxin looked at Nanny Leng with piercing eyes: "So, do you think he is sick?"
Nanny Leng was startled by these words and quickly shook her head: "What the old slave means is that the Third Master may, maybe... be a little emotionally slow."
"These are people with slow emotions. Sometimes they are too enthusiastic, which actually scares them."
An Ran stood aside and kept nodding, asking her to tell her that apart from the old princess and the others, the third master's reason for not returning home might also be the reason of her girl.
Shi Fuxin was silent: "I told him that I liked him. Isn't this right?"
Aunt Leng: "...You can be a little more reserved."
Shi Fuxin disagreed: "You have already said that Chu Yao is an emotionally slow person. If I am more reserved, then we can only look at each other and don't go any further."
Seeing what Nanny Leng wanted to say, Shi Fuxin raised her hand to stop her: "I have my own rules regarding Chu Yao and I. I don't want to be the reserved and passive one in our relationship."
When Nanny Leng and An Ran saw that Shi Fuxin had made up her mind, she felt helpless, but she didn't dare to say anything else.
......
The 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month is the wedding day of Princess Yongan and Shi Dinghao.
This is the first social occasion that Shi Fuxin has attended as a female member of Prince Rong's palace.
The emperor's daughter was raised at the knees of the empress dowager. On the day of Princess Yong'an's wedding, many of the emperor's relatives came to the princess's mansion to attend the wedding banquet.
Shi Fuxin, as a bride who married into the clan and the sister of the consort, naturally attracted people's attention.
But this attention is filled with a lot of hostility.
In order not to cause any bad news at the wedding of her younger brother and sister, Shi Fuxin tried her best to avoid and endure the advice and comments from all parties.
For this reason, I directly found a pavilion and sat alone.
In the coldest month of winter, there were no curtains or charcoal fire in the pavilion. No one wanted to come and endure the cold. Shi Fuxin finally got a moment of peace.
"You really are the center of attention wherever you go."
Xiahou smiled happily and walked into the pavilion where Shi Fuxin was.
Seeing that Xiahou Huanyan dared to continue to interact with her under such circumstances, Shi Fuxin felt happy and pulled her to sit down: "I'll give you this kind of focus, do you want it?"
Xiahou Huanyan shook his head hurriedly: "I am a low-key person." Seeing that Shi Fuxin could still joke and admire her, "I really admire you, you have a lot of rumors nowadays."
Shi Fuxin sneered: "Rumors only stop with the wise, don't worry about people who follow what others say."
