When Chen Feng came back from sword practice, he sat on a chair and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.
I didn't feel hot just now, but as soon as I sat down in the hot room and drank a bowl of hot tea, I couldn't stop sweating.
Fu Zhao walked over, naturally took the handkerchief from Chen Feng's hand, and gently wiped the sweat on Chen Feng's forehead and neck.
She touched Chen Feng's collar and said, "Why don't you go take a shower? My clothes are all wet."
"No, I'll go out later. It's too late." Chen Feng replied.
Fu Zhao continued to wipe Chen Feng's sweat and asked casually: "Are you the only one going to practice sword practice today?"
"Well, my second brother and the others haven't practiced martial arts since they were young, and they will never go there."
This morning, Chen Feng went to an open space specially opened in the Hou Mansion for the young masters of the Hou Mansion to practice martial arts.
In the past, only Chen Jing would go there. After Chen Jing died, no one went there anymore, but the furnishings there were still preserved.
When Chen Feng passed by in the morning, it was as if Chen Jing was still alive in the world.
After wiping away his sweat, Fu Zhao handed the handkerchief to Liangsui and asked, "Don't you want to ask me where I went all morning?"
Chen Feng raised his head and looked at Fu Zhao, "Where did you go this morning?"
Fu Zhao was amused by him and took out the bracelet from his arms.
Chen Feng's face darkened when he saw the bracelet.
He held the bracelet and looked at it carefully for a while, then relaxed and whispered: "This is my mother's old thing."
Fu Zhao hummed, "I got it from Miss Cheng...Miss Cheng...Mother Qiu gave it to her..."
While talking, Fu Zhao kept carefully observing Chen Feng's face.
Sure enough, I saw Chen Feng showing surprise and confusion.
Fu Zhao then told Chen Feng everything that happened at Mrs. Chen's place, except that Qiu's mother had stolen property.
As for the plan of Qiu's mother and Cheng Yushu, Fu Zhao concealed it.
After hearing this, Chen Feng was very disappointed.
He knew Mother Qiu's temperament. If it weren't for his protection, Mother Qiu would have been kicked out long ago.
However, after all, Mother Qiu was his mother's old servant and had watched him grow up.
He remembered that when he was young, Mother Qiu was a very talkative person and was very kind to everyone she treated.
But I don’t know since when, Qiu’s mother’s temper has become more and more weird and mean.
But because Qiu's mother was getting older, he didn't say anything and chose to turn a blind eye.
But it was because of his connivance that Mother Qiu had evil intentions and even plotted against his mother.
Fu Zhao asked tentatively: "What should we do with Mother Qiu?"
Chen Feng's tone became colder, "Since I am at mother's place, let mother handle it."
Perhaps he was afraid that his cold tone would scare Fu Zhao, so after he finished speaking, he softened his tone and said, "I'll come back to pick you up in the evening."
Fu Zhao pursed his lips and smiled.
After finishing breakfast, Chen Feng went out.
After Fu Zhao read the book for a while, Mrs. Chen sent someone, and it was Mrs. Chen who came.
Fu Zhao stood up and greeted him, and Mrs. Chen was flattered and saluted.
"Mom, please get up quickly, Liangsui, bring me a piece of cake so that mom can sit down." Fu Zhao said politely.
Mother Chen waved her hands repeatedly, "Old slave, I won't sit down anymore. I will go back after delivering the message. Because Mother Qiu is an old man in the house, how to deal with her? Madam asked me to come and discuss with you. Let Qiu
Do you think it’s OK for Mom to go home and say to the outside world that she’s going home to retire? After all, if the accusation of theft spreads, it’s not good for everyone.”
Fu Zhao raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Mrs. Chen to spare Mother Qiu so easily?
She didn't believe it. Based on Mother Qiu's attitude towards Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen must have hated Mother Qiu.
But in front of Mother Chen, Fu Zhao lowered his eyes and said gently: "Of course it's good. I listen to my mother in everything."
Mother Chen smiled with satisfaction, "That's good, that's good, I'll go back and resume my life."
"Mom, walk slowly, Si Qi, you can send mom out."
"yes."
Si Qi then sent Mother Chen out and walked to the door of the courtyard without forgetting to stuff a purse into Mother Chen's arms.
"This is a sentiment from my wife, the Crown Prince. Please accept it and buy some wine."
Mother Chen smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits, "Then thank Madam Prince for me."
Si Qi stood at the door and watched Mother Chen walk away before going back.
Mother Chen returned to Mrs. Chen, told Mrs. Chen what Fu Zhao said, and took out the purse to show Mrs. Chen.
At the end, she did not forget to praise: "My wife, you are a sensible person and very filial and obedient."
Mrs. Chen laughed and said: "You accept other people's things and then you speak for them?"
Mother Chen laughed twice, "I don't dare to accept this purse."
"Just accept what's given to you." Mrs. Chen was obviously in a very good mood.
After all, a big worry in my heart was solved, and I let out a bad breath.
When Mother Chen saw this, she stuffed her purse back into her arms.
Mrs. Chen was in a good mood. She walked to the window and admired the two bottles of plum blossoms placed on the windowsill.
"Is the person awake?" Mrs. Chen suddenly asked.
"I'm awake, but I still can't move." Mother Chen replied.
Mother Qiu is a tough nut, and she spent a lot of effort to get Mother Qiu to speak.
Mother Qiu thought that as long as she didn't say anything, the prince would definitely come to save her.
But until now, the prince has never sent anyone to inquire about her. It is obvious that he has disliked Mother Qiu.
Therefore, Mrs. Chen and Mother Chen dealt with Mother Qiu without any scruples.
Mrs. Chen frowned in disgust, "Move out as soon as possible to save my land! Just find a village outside and let her live and recuperate. If she can't survive it, send someone to her home
People say that she committed the crime of theft and committed suicide out of fear of the crime. A lot of the things she stole over the years must have been sent home. Her family did not dare to say anything and just gave them some money to spend.
that is."
"Yes, I remember it, old slave." Mother Chen went out after saying that.
Mother Chen left Mrs. Chen's house and walked back.
In front of a wing at the back, there were two women guarding the door.
Seeing Mrs. Chen coming over, the two of them lowered their heads.
"Open the door." After Mother Chen ordered, the two men opened the door.
Mother Chen only took two steps inside when she smelled a strong smell of blood.
Looking inside again, I saw Mother Qiu lying on the ground. Her clothes were covered in blood stains, and the original color could not be seen clearly.
Mother Qiu's face was even more dirty.
She was already awake, and her old eyes were looking into the distance aimlessly.
It wasn't until she heard the movement that her eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty...are you here to save me?" Mother Qiu said weakly.
"Oh, I'm still daydreaming about you!" Mother Chen said condescendingly.
