While Su Nianyun's master and servant were talking, Chen Shaokang walked in swaggeringly.
Some time ago, he only dared to enter the yard tentatively.
Now, he can walk into Su Nianyun's house openly. Every time he comes, he can make a little progress and get closer to Su Nianyun.
Su Nianyun was not surprised by Chen Shaokang's sudden appearance.
Because it was herself who could let him come in so casually.
She deliberately told Xia Yue not to stop Chen Shaokang from entering the Tingfeng Courtyard, especially when she treated him more laissez-faire. She even discussed the secret code with Xia Yue. When Chen Shaokang entered the Tingfeng Courtyard, Su Nianyun knew about him immediately.
's whereabouts.
Therefore, she used the word "Master Li" in a voice that was loud enough for Chen Shaokang to hear clearly.
"Princess, what did you mean by Mr. Li just now?"
Chen Shaokang sat down in front of Su Nianyun in a familiar manner.
Every time he comes here, he feels like he will be sleeping in the same bed with Su Nianyun soon.
He believed that Su Nianyun must also have this intention for him.
Otherwise, she would have been in and out of Tingfeng Courtyard for so long without even complaining, and she would always be particularly concerned about his diet and daily life.
Although Chen Shaokang is not as good-looking as Chen Shaoan, his narcissism is no less than that of Chen Shaoan.
Through Tingfengyuan's various actions, he concluded that he had touched the princess's heart. After all, she had been alone in the empty room for a long time.
Thinking that he would soon be the master of Tingfeng Court, Chen Shaokang couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
This Tingfeng Yuan has released all of Su Nianyun's treasures. As long as he takes out some treasures casually, he will never have to worry about food and clothing again. This is better than the Yu Chen Mansion.
After all, the Chen family is now in the biggest crisis in history. If one mistake is not made, the whole family will starve to death.
But when he has the princess as his backer, it's different. He can take mountains of gold and silver as he pleases.
"Second Master, why are you here at this time?"
Su Nianyun did not answer Chen Shaokang's words, but looked at the sky. It was just after noon and it was still bright.
"Shouldn't you be studying at this time?"
"Oh, I'm tired of reading, and you still let me keep reading? The princess is really cruel!"
Unconsciously, Chen Shaokang's voice had a hint of coquettishness.
Ever since Chen Shaokang and Qin Wan reconciled, the old lady had sent people to keep a close eye on him, and she no longer allowed him to go to the academy to study behind closed doors.
Because there was no way of knowing whether he had gone to a brothel, we simply let him go to the academy during the day and come back early at night to lock him up at home and watch.
Originally, these people sent by the old lady could not control Chen Shaokang.
Chen Shaokang had been fighting wits and courage with the old lady for many years, otherwise the old lady would not have found out now that her son was a frequent visitor to the brothel.
However, he had the ability to escape from the old lady's surveillance, but he did not do so.
Once there were no women in his courtyard to disturb him, it was a rare scene when he returned to his own courtyard.
Secondly, as everything at home was ruined by his mother, he couldn't spare any money to go to a brothel, so he could only stay at home.
And at the same time, he also knew that the old lady said that it was for the sake of Chen Shaokang's studies that she would not let him do this or that, but in fact she no longer had any expectations for her second son.
After winning the imperial examination in Qiu, the old lady felt that her second son was unlucky.
In Chunwei, she didn't believe that he could achieve anything, so she only concentrated on planning for her eldest son.
The eldest son is the only way out for the Chen family, carrying her dream of reviving the prosperity of the Chen family.
The old lady only hopes that Chen Shaokang can do less mischief outside.
Unexpectedly, this move caused Chen Shaokang to start misbehaving in the mansion.
If she knew that her second son actually had feelings for Su Nianyun and even wanted to take his wife away from her eldest son, she would definitely spit out her blood.
"Princess, which Master Li are you talking about just now? What happened?"
Chen Shaokang picked up the cup of tea in front of Su Nianyun without hesitation, and then took a casual sip.
Just now, he not only heard Master Li's name, but also heard Chen Shaoan's.
Are they discussing Chen Shaoan's affairs?
This made him even more curious. After all, he had always regarded his eldest brother as a competitor, and now he also regarded him as a love rival.
"It's Mr. Li from the Supervisory Yuan. I heard rumors that he may be arranged by the emperor to be one of the invigilators this year..." Su Nianyun couldn't resist his curiosity and explained for him.
"It turns out to be Mr. Li from the Overwatch Council, but what does this have to do with you?" Chen Shaokang asked.
"Second Master, it's nothing, but when I went out to buy something for the princess, I ran into him by chance!"
At this time, Chunhua explained from the side, "The uncle didn't go back to the house, but he was hanging around the door of Mr. Li's house. I thought something happened to the uncle and needed to see Mr. Li, so I came back to talk to the princess."
"Have you seen big brother?"
Chen Shaokang shook his head, "How is this possible? My eldest brother is studying hard at Zhengyang Academy. Unlike me, he dares to leave the academy without permission."
"That's the second master," Chunhua insisted, "I won't be mistaken."
"No, you must have seen it wrong," Chen Shaokang said, "If the uncle returned to the capital, why would he not come to see the princess, but instead hang out in front of Master Li's house?"
"Maybe I admitted my mistake!" Seeing Chen Shaokang so sure, Chunhua didn't believe himself anymore.
"That's right..." Chen Shaokang nodded, "You must have seen it wrong. There are too many similar people in the world."
"Okay," Su Nianyun said, "let's not talk about this topic. He won't come back, and there will be no difference to me at all. He already has Zhou Yao and Biyu, and he still has me as his real wife in his eyes."
"Princess, don't be discouraged. As long as you get along well with the uncle this time when he comes back, you might be able to win back his heart..." Chunhua encouraged Su Nianyun.
Su Nianyun focused on Chen Shaokang.
In her clear and confused eyes, Chen Shaokang's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.
Looking at him with such resentful and longing eyes, it was difficult for him not to be moved.
"I have prepared a set of pens and ink for you. This is a good thing from the previous dynasty. It is a good sign. You should cherish it." Su Nianyun asked Chunhua to give the things to Chen Shaokang.
Chen Shaokang looked at the things and asked, "Is this given to me on purpose, or is it something that both my eldest brother and I have?"
Su Nianyun lowered his eyebrows, "Why...how is he worthy of using such a good inkstone?"
When Chen Shaokang heard this, his eyes lit up, "So, you treat me..."
"Sure enough..." Chen Shaokang grabbed Su Nianyun's hand excitedly, "You feel the same as me, right?"
Su Nianyun shyly pulled her hand back from his, and then said, "What are you talking about?"
She got up and walked into the house, leaving a message before leaving, "Second Master, this is wrong."
"As long as he is here, there will never be any connection between you and me!"
Chen Shaokang returned to his courtyard and looked at the superior inkstone.
He had taken action against his eldest brother once before. Is he still afraid of doing it a second time?
