"What did you say?" Chen Yaying's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it.
Her maid Axiu repeated it again, "My servant said that Miss Cheng will go home in the afternoon. Madam said that if you are free, you can go and say goodbye to Miss Cheng."
Chen Yaying still couldn't believe her ears.
Cheng Yushu was about to leave just like that? So suddenly? He didn’t say anything about it before?
Her curiosity was aroused, and she immediately asked Axiu to put on her clothes and went to Mrs. Chen.
On the way, I happened to meet Fu Zhao.
Chen Yaying walked over and gossiped: "Fifth sister-in-law, do you know why Miss Cheng suddenly went home? Could it be that she made some mistake?"
Fu Zhao just shook his head, "I don't know either. It happened so suddenly that I can't believe it."
Chen Yaying couldn't wait to know the truth, but it didn't look right for her to leave Fu Zhao and go to Mrs. Chen's place.
She took Fu Zhao's arm and walked forward, urging: "Fifth sister-in-law, please walk faster."
Fu Zhao helplessly quickened his pace and followed Chen Yaying into Mrs. Chen's house.
in the house.
Mrs. Chen looked at Cheng Yushu who was weeping with a serious face, "Stop crying, everyone will arrive later."
Cheng Yushu wiped away her tears and said aggrievedly: "Aunt, I know I was wrong. Can I really not stay?"
Mrs. Chen sighed and said: "I do it for your own good. You have to go home anyway, and I can't keep you forever. Why don't you go home now instead of spreading the news about you and Mother Qiu?
It would be better if you were kicked out again. I will give you one thousand taels of silver as a means of transportation on the road."
Having said this, Cheng Yushu's heart became cold.
When something goes wrong, instead of trying to cover up for yourself, you just drive yourself away. What kind of elders do you think this kind of person is?
Cheng Yushu also knew in her heart that Mrs. Chen was so eager to send her away because she was afraid that Mrs. Chen herself would be implicated?
In the final analysis, Mrs. Chen still does it for herself.
Cheng Yushu stopped crying and slowly wiped away her tears.
After a while, Chen Yaying pulled Fu Zhao in, and the two of them first saluted Mrs. Chen.
Chen Yaying immediately sat next to Cheng Yushu and asked curiously: "Yushu, why do you want to go home suddenly?"
Cheng Yushu was older than Chen Yaying. In order to curry favor with Chen Yaying, she pretended not to care even if Chen Yaying called her by her first name.
Now that she can no longer stay in the Hou Mansion, Chen Yaying is of little value to her.
She said calmly: "Something happened at home, so I have to go back quickly."
Chen Yaying naturally noticed Cheng Yushu's coldness and thought it was because she was in a bad mood because of something going on at home.
Cheng Yushu looked at Fu Zhao and felt angry when he saw Fu Zhao's calm expression and elegant posture.
She has nothing now, but Fu Zhao is still the aloof wife of the Crown Prince, monopolizing the Crown Prince's favor.
Jealousy burned in her heart.
"Fifth cousin sister-in-law, you are so scheming!" Cheng Yushu couldn't control himself and said angrily.
Fu Zhao raised his eyes, his face full of confusion, "What does Miss Cheng mean?"
"Don't you know what I mean?" Cheng Yushu said reluctantly.
If it weren't for Fu Zhao, her wish would have almost come true.
She just didn't understand why Fu Zhao stopped her and refused to let her go to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng doesn't even have a concubine now, isn't Fu Zhao afraid that others will say she is a jealous woman?
She wanted to see how long Fu Zhao could continue to be rampant.
If Cheng Yushu continues to talk, I'm afraid that the thing between her and Qiu's mother will not be enough.
Mrs. Chen stood up and said to Fu Zhao: "Fifth daughter-in-law, come with me."
Fu Zhao followed Mrs. Chen into the inner room, and Mrs. Chen asked Fu Zhao to sit down next to her.
Mrs. Chen said: "Mother Qiu has told you everything. I will send someone to deliver the property she stole to you later."
Fu Zhao lowered his head slightly, "Thank you, mother, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. Why would Miss Cheng leave in such a hurry?"
"Oh," Mrs. Chen came up with the words she had prepared a long time ago, "Mother Qiu wanted to curry favor with me, so she took Madam Xian's bracelet to please Yu Shu. Yu Shu was young and inexperienced, so she actually accepted it.
Although Yushu was deceived by Mother Qiu, the bracelet of the first lady was actually worn on Yushu’s wrist. And Yushu is not young anymore, so it’s time for her to go home and get married.”
Mrs. Chen's words are just an excuse and cannot be considered in detail.
Since Mother Qiu wanted to curry favor with Mrs. Chen, why was she so arrogant and rude when she saw Mrs. Chen today?
Fu Zhao lowered his eyes. Mrs. Chen probably didn't know yet, but she already knew that Cheng Yushu and Qiu's mother were colluding to plot against Chen Feng.
Fu Zhao just pretended not to know.
She then said warmly: "Mother is right, it all depends on mother. Since Miss Cheng is going back to be married, I should also give her some jewelry to add to her dowry."
Mrs. Chen patted Fu Zhao's hand and said happily: "You are thoughtful."
Mrs. Chen was relieved. It seemed that Fu Zhao had fooled her.
After Cheng Yushu is sent away next, the mistakes Cheng Yushu made will no longer implicate her in the slightest.
The two said a few more words and then went out.
Passing through the partition, I saw Qian and others also arriving.
He still didn't show up. He rarely came out to see people recently, and everyone was no longer surprised.
Fu Zhao sat down and listened to them talking to Cheng Yushu.
Cheng Yushu was also warned by Mrs. Chen that she should pretend that nothing happened and chat with others.
In fact, she was suffering a lot.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Mrs. Chen said: "Yushu will be on her way soon. Anyway, she will have a chance to be a guest in the future, so don't talk about it yet."
In order to curry favor with Mrs. Chen, Qian took the initiative and said, "Mother, why don't you let me send Sister Cheng out. Sister Cheng has lived in the Hou Mansion for several months, and I sincerely regard her as my own sister."
"Okay, I can't help but think that you are interested." Mrs. Chen said.
Chen Yaying and Cheng Yushu have the best relationship, but Cheng Yushu's attitude toward her today was indifferent.
If she were still enthusiastic about Cheng Yushu, it would be as if she was rushing to curry favor with Cheng Yushu.
Chen Yaying pouted and said, "Second sister-in-law will go and see her off, but I won't go there."
Cheng Yushu didn't care whether Chen Yaying sent it as a gift. She looked at Fu Zhao steadily and said, "Fifth cousin sister-in-law, can you send it to me? Just send me to the door."
Mrs. Chen said angrily: "What's going on with you kid?"
"It's just a ride for me. It shouldn't be a difficult thing for my fifth cousin, right?" Cheng Yushu begged persistently, regardless of whether Mrs. Chen was unhappy or not.
