There was a hint of helplessness in Cui Cheng's eyes. On this day, he was depressed and went to drink with Niu Sheng, an official who had stayed in Beijing with him from high school. As soon as they met, Niu Sheng handed over his hand and said: "Brother Cui is so lucky to marry Qiong."
Princess Hua is such a virtuous wife. In order to help your childhood sweetheart's family get away with their crimes, she even had a quarrel with Mr. Zhang and then sent them out of the capital."
Cui Cheng was shocked and said: "Qiaoer's family is selling illegal salt? How is that possible?"
"What? Don't you know about this?" Niu Sheng said curiously: "This matter has been filed. The princess asked Mr. Zhang to withdraw the case."
Cui Cheng thought of his impulse that day and felt full of regret. He stopped drinking and turned away.
Niu Sheng said loudly: "Aren't you going to drink anymore?"
"I'll treat you to a drink another day." When Cui Cheng said this, the person had already gone away.
When Cui Cheng returned to Cui Mansion, the door was locked. He patted the door. When the concierge saw that it was him, he quickly opened the door. After he came in, he ran directly to Qiong Hua's room.
There was no lamp in the room, it was dark, and it looked like Qionghua had already fallen asleep.
Cui Cheng walked to the door of the room and wanted to push the door open. He thought of Qionghua's temper and felt that the incident was his fault after all. He hesitated for a moment. He said to himself: "When it gets bright tomorrow, I will be happy to give her a gift."
Apologize."
He hesitated for a long time, and finally turned around and left. He remembered the jade pendant he threw into the pond that day, and immediately jumped in. He searched in the pond alone for most of the night, and finally found the jade pendant.
He planned to go to Qionghua to accompany him after dawn.
It's just that he is a weak scholar after all. He soaked in the pond for too long at night. When he woke up in the morning, he felt dizzy, as if he had contracted a few colds. He originally planned to go to Qionghua when he got up, but he didn't want the yamen of the Ministry of Rites to ask him.
The messenger came to report that an envoy from Xiliang had entered the capital, and Prime Minister Ye asked him to go to the Ministry of Rites to help.
Cui Cheng had no choice but to go to the Yamen first despite being sick, thinking that it would not be too late to apologize to her when he came back later.
Qionghua felt sad after hearing the news that Cui Cheng had returned home at night. Although he returned home, he didn't even see her and went straight to the Yamen!
Caiyu comforted him and said, "Princess, I think the prince-in-law left early because he had something to do, so don't think too much about it."
Qiong Hua said softly: "You don't need to comfort me. I know how much he hates me. I originally forced this marriage. It's normal for him to hate me. It's just that no matter how much he hates me, I am also his wife and he doesn't want to see her.
I, I will go find him myself! You go with me to pick jade."
Caiyu sighed softly, unable to persuade her any more. She glanced at Qionghua, who had lost a lot of weight, and secretly felt sorry for her. She said softly, packed up a little, and then accompanied Qionghua out the door.
When they arrived at the Yamen, they learned that the envoy from Xiliang was visiting and Cui Cheng had gone to the inn.
Qionghua hurried to the inn again, but as soon as he entered, he saw Cui Cheng and a stunning beauty together. The beauty had eyes as bright as sapphires. At this time, Cui Cheng's hand happened to be resting on the beauty's body.
Qionghua was furious when she saw this scene. She walked over and sneered: "Consultant Cui is so lucky! If you haven't been home these past few days, you are staying in the gentle fragrance. But you are really a playboy. This
It’s only been a few days, but you’ve already forgotten your childhood sweetheart!”
She had never been so angry before. In the past, he just thought about Su Qiaoer, but now he was in love with Ling Ruan again just a few days ago. How could she feel so embarrassed?
