In the evening, Mr. Qian stood at the door of the courtyard and looked around.
"Didn't you say you would come back for dinner? Why are you still not back at this hour?" Qian murmured.
Jin'er stood behind Qian, looking together.
The second young master, Chen Yuan, currently has no official position, so he usually helps with the affairs of the Hou Mansion in the front yard.
Although they lived together in the Hou Mansion, Chen Yuan almost never came to the Qian family.
Counting the days, the last time Chen Yuan came over was last month.
Qian lives the same life as a widow, and it is precisely because of this that she cannot see those sweet couples.
Those younger brothers and sisters were so sweet and affectionate, it was as if they were slapping her in the face.
So she sent two beautiful maids out. The loneliness she had tasted should be given to others.
Until nightfall, Chen Yuan still didn't come back.
Qian's two daughters ran out, holding Qian's hands one on the left and the other on the right, shouting that they were hungry.
"Mom, why hasn't dad come back yet? I'm so hungry, let's not wait for dad any longer!" The older Chen Siwei didn't care at all whether her father came back or not.
Chen Sitong, who was still young, took Qian's hand and said with a tearful voice: "Mom, I miss daddy. When will daddy come back?"
Qian was helpless because of her two daughters, so she had no choice but to say: "Let's have dinner first, Jin'er, why don't you go and see if he doesn't come over?"
"yes."
Qian took her two daughters in. After dinner, Jin'er came back.
Just by looking at Jin'er's face, Qian had an idea and sent her two daughters away.
"Come to think of it, which foxy kid is pestering me again?" Qian's face was gloomy, "I usually don't care about those foxy chicks. If today I know that I want you to come back for dinner, and I pester him on purpose, then
I will never show mercy!"
Jin'er told everything he had heard in detail.
When she found out that the maid she sent out had tripped Chen Yuan's feet, Mrs. Qian was extremely angry.
"Okay, I thought she was a good person, but I didn't expect that she would dare to do these little tricks behind her back. And Ms. Zhao, she would dare to collude with her! Come against me together!" Mrs. Qian was so angry that she slapped the table several times.
Jin'er advised: "Madam, calm down."
"How can I calm down? No, I have to go find her!" Qian's temperament was very fiery. After saying this, she stood up and went to Fu Zhao.
Jin'er couldn't stop him at all, so he had no choice but to go along.
When Fu Zhao arrived, Fu Zhao had just finished his dinner.
"Why are you here, second sister-in-law, at this hour? Have you eaten?" Fu Zhao smiled warmly and softly.
Qian glanced around the room exaggeratedly and asked knowingly, "Brother and sister, why don't you see the maid I gave you? If you don't like it, just give it back to me."
Fu Zhao said in embarrassment: "I don't know what to say when it comes to that maid. I asked Liangsui to take the two maids to find the way and pass a message to the prince. Unexpectedly, the second brother saw him.
then……"
Fu Zhao was embarrassed to say any more, "Anyway, those two maids have gone back to Second Sister-in-law's yard. If Second Sister-in-law still has some good ones, please keep them for me."
"It's all your excuse! Are you like them, you think you look down on me because I was born a merchant?" Qian asked reluctantly.
Fu Zhao asked in confusion: "Why does the second sister-in-law think so? I dare not lie. I did send Liangsui to send a message to the crown prince, and by the way, I showed the two of them the way."
Qian was still about to have an attack, but she heard a voice calling the Crown Prince from the courtyard. It must be that Chen Feng was back.
Qian stopped talking for now.
Chen Feng entered the house and was surprised to see Mrs. Qian, and asked: "Why is the second sister-in-law back at this hour?"
Qian smiled and said, "Oh, I'm here to talk to my younger siblings. Fifth brother, what is that in your hand?"
Chen Feng placed the oil paper bag in his hand on the table and said calmly: "It's a steamed bun."
Chen Feng looked at Fu Zhao, "You asked me to buy it, and I bought it back."
Fu Zhao happily walked over and said, "Thank you, Prince, I thought you wouldn't buy it for me."
Chen Feng smiled half-heartedly, "You sent someone to beg me eagerly, how could I not buy it? Okay, I'm going out first, you can talk to the second sister-in-law."
Chen Feng went out.
Fu Zhao greeted Mrs. Qian, "The buns here are the most delicious. I sent Liangsui over to ask the prince to buy some for me. Second sister-in-law, do you want to try them?"
Qian's face looked ugly.
She learned from the news from Hongyue that the relationship between Fu Zhao and Chen Feng was weak, so she concluded that it was impossible for Fu Zhao to send a maid to find Chen Feng.
Unexpectedly, the relationship between Fu Zhao and Chen Feng was not what Hongyue said.
"I've eaten. I won't eat the buns anymore. I'm going back first." Qian finally managed to hold back a sentence.
"I guess the misunderstanding that Second Sister-in-law had about me has been cleared up. In the final analysis, what happened today is my fault. I didn't think it through. But Second Sister-in-law's good intentions were all in vain." Fu Zhao said softly.
Qian's face turned blue, and Fu Zhao's big belly made her even more stingy and unreasonable.
Seeing this, Jin'er hurriedly handed Qian the steps, "Madam, the two young ladies must be waiting for you to go back. You'd better go back as soon as possible."
"Yeah, then I'll go back first. There's no need to send my siblings off." Qian took Jin'er and left dejectedly.
Fu Zhao sat down, took out the buns from the paper bag and ate them.
After a while, Siqi came in.
"How is it?" Fu Zhao asked.
"As soon as the second young lady walked out with her front legs, Hongyue followed her with her back legs." Si Qi said truthfully, not daring to hide anything.
Fu Zhao waved his hand and asked Siqi to go out, leaving only Liangsui behind.
"Miss, I didn't expect Hongyue to have other thoughts." In private, Liangsui still used to use the old title.
"Ignore her for now, there will always be a time to beat her again." After Fu Zhao finished speaking, he continued to eat the buns.
Liangsui secretly smiled. Even though the prince was usually cold towards Fu Zhao, Fu Zhao said he wanted to eat steamed buns, and the prince actually went to buy them.
The prince probably also has Fu Zhao in his heart.
At night, Fu Zhao had become accustomed to the current way of getting along with each other. She hugged the quilt and slept on the inside of the bed.
Chen Feng slept outside so that he could get up early and go to Meilin to practice swordsmanship.
Fu Zhao was extremely well-behaved after falling asleep. What posture was he in before going to bed and what posture was he in when he woke up?
Chen Feng turned his head and looked at the distance between him and Fu Zhao. There was no emotion in his eyes.
A few days later, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Ma, was coming back. For this reason, Chen Feng took a day off and went to pick up Ma outside the city.
Fu Zhao also became curious about what kind of person Ma was.
On a carriage outside the city.
A middle-aged woman in plain clothes opened her eyes, her eyes filled with compassion.
