When Chen Yayuan saw Mrs. Shao crying miserably, she comforted her in a soft voice: "I know that everything my mother did was for my own good, and I have never complained in my heart."
Mrs. Shao lowered her head guiltily.
She knew best in her heart that under the banner of being good for Chen Yayuan, she came up with all kinds of torture methods to vent her inner dissatisfaction with Chen Yayuan.
Chen Yayuan said it sincerely and was not lying. She really never resented herself.
Mrs. Shao felt even more guilty and choked with sobs that she could not speak.
Shao Geng took Mrs. Shao's hand, and held Chen Yayuan's hand with the other hand, and said with a smile: "Mother, Yuanyuan, this is the end of the past. No one should mention it again. Let's live a good life."
Shao Geng and Chen Yayuan agreed in unison.

When Chen Feng returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already evening.
He didn't let the maid hold the lantern in front of him, so he went to the back house.
His eyes were sharp, and he could once hit an enemy a hundred steps away with one arrow on the battlefield at night.
He walked back to the courtyard and saw the maids about to salute. He waved his hand to stop them.
The maids just bowed their heads and stepped aside, not saying any more salutes.
He opened the tent himself and walked into the house. He took off his robe at the door and hung it on the shelf.
Then he went inside and saw only Fu Zhao's back. Two maids, Siqi and Liangsui, were surrounding Fu Zhao, muttering something unknown.
Chen Feng raised the corners of his mouth and strode over. He bent down and chuckled in Fu Zhao's ear: "What are you talking about?"
The three people were startled. Fu Zhao suddenly put down his rolled-up sleeves and hid his arms behind his back.
She looked as normal and said: "Nothing, why did you come back so early?"
The two maids, Si Qi and Liang Sui, hurriedly saluted him.
Chen Feng smelled the ointment keenly and frowned.
Glancing around, he saw the ointment in Siqi's hand.
When Chen Feng saw it, Si Qi put the hand holding the ointment behind his back guiltily.
Chen Feng lowered his face and asked, "Who is injured?"
Si Qi and Liang Sui looked at each other and lowered their heads.
Fu Zhao didn't want to say it, and they couldn't betray Fu Zhao.
Just by looking at the reactions of the two maids, Chen Feng understood who was injured.
Chen Feng calmly sat down next to Fu Zhao and asked in a calm tone: "You still want to hide it from me?"
Fu Zhao saw a hint of anger hidden in Chen Feng's eyebrows and knew that he was angry.
Chen Feng rarely got angry in front of Fu Zhao, but Fu Zhao suddenly felt like a child who had done something wrong in front of Chen Feng, and he felt guilty.
Si Qi and Liang Sui were shocked by Chen Feng's anger. Si Qi simply placed the ointment carefully on the table.
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Fu Zhao simply lowered his head.
Chen Feng raised his hand and asked Si Qi and Liang Sui to go out first.
After the two maids went out, Chen Feng asked coldly: "Where are you injured?"
Fu Zhao lifted his injured arm.
Chen Feng grabbed the arm and gently rolled up his sleeves, revealing a patch of black and blue.
Fu Zhao's skin is fair and delicate, and this dark green spot is even more shocking.
Chen Feng frowned, seeing Fu Zhao injured was more uncomfortable than being injured himself.
The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Even if he was wounded by the sword, he would not even frown.
But when he saw the bruise on Fu Zhao's arm, he immediately frowned.
Chen Feng picked up the ointment and smelled it, then stood up and walked to the cabinet, rummaging through the cabinet to find a bottle of ointment.
He sat back next to Fu Zhao, gently applied the ointment on Fu Zhao's arm, and explained softly: "This is what I often use, and it works well."
Sure enough, as soon as the ointment was applied, Fu Zhao felt refreshed and cool, and his arm no longer hurt at all.
After carefully applying the medicine, Chen Feng put down his sleeves for Fu Zhao and stared at Fu Zhao with a pair of dark eyes.
Fu Zhao slightly said uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Chen Feng raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you going to tell me something?"
Fu Zhao thought for a while and then told everything that happened to Chen Yayuan during the day, including how the black spots on his arms came about.
Chen Feng's face became more and more gloomy and ugly as he listened.
He held Fu Zhao's hand, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, "Second sister is kind-hearted, but soft-hearted. Fortunately, you stood up for her."
Chen Yayuan had such a temper when she was in the Hou Mansion.
At that time, the Marquis was very strict, and several young masters in the Hou family were more or less reprimanded by the Marquis.
Sometimes when Mr. Hou gets very angry, he will even take out the whip.
And Chen Yayuan would stand up and persuade the Marquis regardless of her own safety. Sometimes the Marquis would be angry and even she would be punished.
But Chen Yayuan doesn't think it's a big deal and will stand up next time.
Unexpectedly, her temperament did not change after she got married.
The Shao family tortured her into such a state, and she never told the Hou Mansion.
Fu Zhao smiled and said: "It's not that I stand up for the second sister, it's because the brother-in-law cares about the second sister."
Chen Feng's eyes darkened again. Through his sleeves, he seemed to be able to see the black spots on Fu Zhao's arms.
This matter will not be forgotten like this.

After Mrs. Lu and her daughter were driven back from the Shao family, they were so angry that they were beaten and scolded all day long, making people afraid to breathe every day.
They try to be careful, but they still get beaten and scolded by Mrs. Lu and her daughter.
Mr. Lu couldn't stand them anymore, so he moved outside. This made Mrs. Lu and her daughter even more angry.
In the afternoon, Lu Shan took the scissors and cut all the potted plants in the house into a mess, which made her feel better.
She threw the scissors, sat down next to Mrs. Lu, and said reluctantly: "Mom, I really can't forget my cousin. Let's go back to Shao's house quickly."
Thinking of the frustration that day, Mrs. Lu slapped the table bitterly, "Sooner or later we have to go back! This account must be settled!"
Mrs. Lu was so angry that her orifices were almost smoking.
Lu Shan's eyes lit up and she said: "It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Why don't we go back today?"
Mrs. Lu was still a little hesitant.
After all, Mrs. Shao was still holding her hand. What if Mrs. Shao was still angry and recklessly told what happened that day?
Lu Shan grabbed Mrs. Lu's arm and persuaded: "Mom! After all, you are all sisters, with the same blood flowing on your body! If aunt dares to deny you, grandma and the others won't do it either! By the way, we might as well go back.
Let’s invite grandma to go to our aunt’s house with us! With grandma here, how dare aunt not let us in?”
Mrs. Lu cheered up immediately. She patted Lu Shan's hand and said happily: "You are still smart enough to come up with such a good idea. Come on, let's go invite your grandmother now!"
