How could Zhao Chengji not understand that Xiao Changfeng was looking out for him?
But he doesn't care about things like the love between children.
What he cares about is the throne and what these people can help him with.
Xiao Changfeng is brave and good at fighting. His only hope is that he can maintain his consistent record on the battlefield.
When he becomes emperor in the future, Xiao Changfeng can marry whichever princess he wants, and he won't just be entangled and confused by Su Nianyun.
After leaving Jinming Tower, Su Nianyun did not get on the carriage directly, but chose to walk for a while.
Su Da drove the carriage and fell behind, while Chunhua walked with Su Nianyun.
Passing by a brothel called Zuihua House, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Second Master, Second Master, please make it easier for me to find you. Aren't you always at Baihua Building in the past? Why are you here at Zuihua Building now?"
"What do you know?" The man said drunkenly, "It's always boring to go to the same place all the time. I'm just changing the taste."
Su Nianyun looked over and saw Chen Shaokang being pulled out of Zuihua Tower by a servant.
"Okay, okay, what are you doing to pull me out? Miss Li'er's ditty is reaching its climax, what are you doing to pull me out?"
"Sir, please go back to your house and have a look. The old lady has been looking for you for two days!"
The boy was sweating anxiously, "If I can't find you again, you will never see me in the Chen Mansion again."
"What on earth did mother come to see me for that made you in such a hurry?" Chen Shaokang was a little impatient.
He and his eldest brother left the house at the same time to study hard in their respective academies.
But unlike the eldest brother, the eldest brother actually went to Zhengyang Academy, while he went to a brothel.
He used the money his mother gave him to live in a brothel.
He was already satisfied that he unexpectedly got a position as a scholar. He was used to having fun and enjoying himself, so he would not find it difficult for him to go back to the academy to study hard.
"Second Master, something big happened in the house right now. You'd better go back and take a look!"
There were people coming and going in Zuihua House, and many of them were also friends of the second master. The young man was embarrassed to tell the second wife that she wanted to divorce her husband on such an occasion, so he could only think of a way to get the young master to return home.
"Besides, the old lady couldn't find you for two days and she's already very angry. Why don't you go back and see the old lady?"
Sure enough, when he mentioned the old lady's business, Chen Shaokang had no choice but to go back with him.
After all, Chen Shaokang still plans to please his mother and inherit the future family business, so he cannot give up halfway.
So, with the help of the boy, he tidied up his clothes and tried his best to disperse the powdery smell on his body before getting on the horse and returning home.
The two of them were busy talking and didn't pay attention to the street next to them.
Su Nianyun listened to the conversation between the two and watched the master and servant return home. She stopped wandering around and went back to watch the fun.
When Chen Shaokang saw his mother, before he could say hello to her, her mother had already swung a cane towards him.
Chen Shaokang was caught off guard and received several strong blows.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Chen Shaokang said in surprise while avoiding.
Although he is not as popular with his mother as Chen Shaoan, he has never been beaten by his mother. This is the first time that he has seen such a hysterical mother.
"You...have the nerve to ask!"
"These...these days, if you don't go to the academy to study, where...have you been?"
The old lady was getting older and had more and more worries. She was out of breath when she used crutches.
Wen's mother helped her sit down.
Chen Shaokang glanced at the boy kneeling on the ground and immediately understood that this guy had betrayed him a long time ago, and his mother already knew about him going to a brothel.
He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Mom, listen to me, it's because I was too tired from studying and really wanted to relax, so I found a place to listen to music..."
"Believe me, I just went to listen to the music and didn't do anything!"
"Do you believe what you said?" The old lady just felt so angry that she had a splitting headache.
When Wen's mother saw the old lady stroking her forehead, she immediately found the doctor's newly prepared Qi Pills for the old lady and gave them to her to take.
The old lady took the medicine and drank some water.
She had been having headaches for a long time, and she felt that the medicine was of little use to her. But regardless of whether it was useful or not, when her headache really started to hurt, the old lady still took the medicine.
"Mother, don't be angry, or you may get hurt by anger!"
The old lady sighed, "How can you keep me from being angry with your unfulfilled appearance?"
"Mom, I swear to you, I will never go to the brothel head office again, right?" Chen Shaokang thought that his mother was very concerned about him going to the brothel.
Unexpectedly, Wen's mother said from the side, "Second Master, the old lady is not angry with you, the second lady has returned to her parents' home, do you know?"
"Uh... I don't know." Chen Shaokang shook his head.
He wanted to say that it had been almost three months since he left home and he had never returned home. How did he know that his wife had returned to her parents' home?
But he was afraid that what he said would make his mother angry again, so he swallowed what he said next.
Wen's mother said awkwardly, "Second Master, Second Madam, she wants to reconcile!"
"What?" Chen Shaokang raised his voice, "Good luck, why did she want to divorce? Is she having an affair with someone else?"
"Mama Wen, tell me who that bastard is and see if I don't kill him!"
Wen's mother said hurriedly, "Second Master, Second Master, don't be impulsive. It's good that Second Madam wants to reconcile, but it's not because of a personal relationship..."
"During your absence, the second lady only visited our shop and never returned to her parents' home. How could there be an affair?"
"Since there was no personal relationship, why did she want to divorce?"
Chen Shaokang looked at his mother and Wenma in confusion, wanting to wait for one of them to explain to him.
But because the old lady failed in business, leaving the Chen family with nothing, and making the second daughter-in-law dissatisfied with this matter, the old lady herself could not speak out, and Wen's mother did not dare to say it in front of the old lady.
Therefore, Chen Shaokang only received silence, "Mother, what is going on?"
"Don't worry about this for now," the old lady said, "I asked you to come back just to bring Qin Wan back. No matter what, you can't ask her to reconcile!"
When Chen Shaokang saw that his mother refused to tell him the reason, he had no choice but to ask Qin Wan for confirmation.
He also wanted to see what tricks this woman was playing.
She wanted to get divorced so smoothly, but she made her own decision without even discussing it with her husband. It was really too much of a lie!
Who would have thought that when he rushed to the Qin Mansion in one breath, he did not see Qin Wan himself, but only Mrs. Cao, the old lady of Qin, saw him.
"Hey, what brought the master of the Chen family to our Qin Mansion?" Mrs. Cao said in a strange tone.
"Aunt..." Chen Shaokang saluted respectfully to Mrs. Cao, "Where's Wan'er, why doesn't she come out to see me? I'm here to take her home!"
