Fu Zhao said with a smile: "But my sister-in-law said yesterday that there are some things that I have to do myself, and I can't leave it to others."
Fu Zhao's voice was gentle and soft, but Qian felt it was extremely harsh.
But in the final analysis, it was all her own fault.
If she had asked Fu Zhao and Chen Feng to go back last night when Chen Feng came over, there wouldn't be so many things happening next.
But now it's too late to regret.
Qian laughed awkwardly twice, and her face hurt even more if she allowed Fu Zhao to continue talking like this.
She hurriedly looked for Jin'er in the house, but after searching for a long time, there was no sign of Jin'er.
Jin'er is her personal maid, and she is always inseparable from her. Why isn't she in the house today?
Mrs. Qian then asked the maid, "Where has Jin'er gone?"
The maid replied: "Sister Jin'er copied the account book and didn't rest until dawn. She should be sleeping in the house now."
Qian glanced at Fu Zhao and said awkwardly: "Really? Let her rest. Go to the kitchen to see if the breakfast is ready. Bring it over as soon as it's ready."
After the maid went out, Mrs. Qian went to hold Fu Zhao's hand again and said attentively: "For breakfast, I asked them to make Yangzhou flavor in the south of the Yangtze River. Come and try it. You must have never tasted it."
Fu Zhao accepted it when he saw it was good and said, "Then I'm going to have a good taste."
Qian was secretly relieved, Fu Zhao finally stopped mentioning what happened yesterday.
During breakfast, Mr. Qian was particularly warm and considerate, fearing that Fu Zhao would be a little unhappy, so he brought up what happened yesterday.
When the news reached Chen Yuan's ears, Chen Yuan would deliberately ignore her again, which would be an advantage to those aunts.
After Fu Zhao had eaten and drank enough, Qian personally escorted her to the door.
Yueji was just a concubine, and there was no one at home, so the funeral of their mother and son was hastily completed.
Chen Xin blamed himself more and more for not being able to protect Yue Ji's mother and son during her lifetime.
After they died, he couldn't give dignity to Yueji and her son. He was really not a man.
The more Chen Xin thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, so he brought up the matter of divorcing his wife again.
Divorcing this vicious woman, Ms. He, was the only thing he could do for Yue Ji, mother and son.

Siqi went out with his quilt in his arms, preparing to take advantage of the nice weather to bask in the sun. When he got to the yard, he heard noisy noises coming from the direction of He's yard.
After only listening for a moment, Si Qi realized that it was He and Chen Xin who were quarreling again.
In the past few days, He and Chen Xin had been bickering every now and then, and Si Qi was numb.
Si Qi continued to dry the bedding and spread the bedding on the shelf when he heard movement from the door of the yard.
Seeing the woman coming in from outside, Si Qi happily greeted her.
"Miss Cousin, you are finally back. I am still thinking about you and wondering when you will come back." Siqi said, feeling blessed.
The person who came in from outside was Su Yurong, whom he hadn't seen for several days.
Su Yurong walked a few steps quickly, helped Si Qi up with her own hands, and said with a smile: "So I came over quickly after I paid my respects to Madam."
Si Qi took Su Yurong's arm and went into the house, "Our wife misses you very much too."
In the room, Fu Zhao was surprised and happy when he saw Su Yurong.
Fu Zhao held Su Yurong's hand and was so happy that he was almost speechless.
Su Yurong was also very happy. When she went back, her sisters at home were all cold and indifferent to her, not as good as Fu Zhao was to her.
The two sat down next to each other and talked affectionately.
Suddenly, there was another sound of throwing things outside, and Su Yurong was startled.
Su Yurong looked at the discovery of the voice, with some timidity in her eyes.
She looked at Fu Zhao and saw that Fu Zhao was drinking tea calmly, as if he hadn't heard the noise.
She couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Cousin, didn't you hear that sound? It's really scary, who is losing his temper?"
Fu Zhao put down the tea cup and said, "It's the third sister-in-law's place. She must be quarreling with the third brother."
Su Yurong said "oh" and then remembered.
When she arrived at the Hou Mansion today, her servants told her what had happened in the Hou Mansion during her absence.
Thinking of the child who died before she even saw him, she became uncontrollably sad.
She has a kind and soft heart, and nothing like this is the last thing she would see.
She lamented sadly: "What a poor child. I heard it was my third cousin who was jealous..."
Fu Zhao glared at Su Yurong gently, interrupted her, and said seriously: "No matter who you heard these words from, just forget them quickly, but don't talk nonsense outside."
Su Yurong stuck out her tongue and said affectionately: "Thank you, cousin, for reminding me. Don't worry, I will only say these words in front of you."
Su Yurong asked again: "They are making so much noise, should we go over and try to persuade them?"
Fu Zhao said calmly: "My mother didn't send anyone there, so what's the use of the two of us going there?"
Su Yurong nodded in understanding.
"By the way, cousin, I came to you this time because I want you to accompany me to buy some things. I have already made an agreement with my aunt, we will just go out." Su Yurong said happily.
Fu Zhao nodded, "Okay, I have nothing to do anyway, let's go together."
The two simply packed up and waited until the carriage was ready at the door before heading out.
After leaving the courtyard door, the quarrel coming from the He family became clearer, and it was also very clear that Chen Xin wanted to divorce his wife one by one.
Fu Zhao's expression didn't change and he just pretended not to hear.
She and Su Yurong left the Hou Mansion, got on the carriage, and went to the street.
On the carriage, Fu Zhao asked casually: "What do you want to buy?"
Su Yurong's face darkened and she said lowly: "I wanted to buy a gift for my sister in the Hou Mansion. My family forgot to prepare it for me, so I had to ask my cousin to accompany me to buy it."
Looking at Su Yurong's face, Fu Zhao knew that the truth must be worse than what she said.
The Su family probably didn't forget to prepare it for Su Yurong, but they deliberately didn't prepare it for Su Yurong.
Fu Zhao once heard Si Qi say that Su Yurong was in a difficult situation at home.
She had a patriarchal mother who didn't care about Su Yurong's upbringing or her future.
Under Mrs. Su's neglect, Su Yurong, as a young lady of the Su family, had neither enough to eat nor warm clothes for a period of time.
At that time, the first lady of the Hou Mansion looked distressed and took Su Yurong to the Hou Mansion.
After arriving at the Hou Mansion, Su Yurong lived a life like a human being.
Fu Zhao heard about Su Yurong's past and felt particularly sorry for her.
Fu Zhao held Su Yurong's hand and said softly: "Then wait a minute and I will help you choose."
Su Yurong nodded gratefully towards Fu Zhao.
In order to go out quickly, the carriage the two of them took was the Su family's carriage.
Su Yurong's mother, Mrs. Su, favored boys over girls and felt that Su Yurong was a loser who was not well-bred. When she heard that Su Yurong was going to the Hou Mansion, she immediately had a carriage prepared.
