The weather was nice, so Fu Zhao took Siqi to Chen Feng's study in the front yard, and asked Zimeng to take out the books on the bookshelf to dry them.
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "There is a musty smell here. I've been wanting to say this for a long time. The sun is nice today. Let's take it out to bask in the sun."
Fu Zhao's sense of smell is particularly sensitive.
In the past, I only came to the study room because of this, so I was a bit restrained.
Now that I have been here for a long time, I almost regard this place as my own territory.
Zimeng was very hesitant.
He knew that in Chen Feng's study, unless he got Chen Feng's nod, anyone who touched the things in the study without permission would definitely be kicked out by Chen Feng.
What's more, if you take out the books on the bookshelf to dry them, in case there are other things in the books, there are important things on the bookshelf...
Zimeng was very hesitant.
His expression was very ugly, and Fu Zhao could see it too, and just raised his eyebrows, "What? Do you think I can't give you orders?"
Zimeng's face suddenly turned green, and cold sweat continued to fall from his forehead, "Young ones don't dare! Little ones don't dare!"
Si Qi laughed out loud, "Stop scaring him. If you scare him, no one will take care of the study."
Fu Zhao touched his face, feeling helpless: "When did I scare him?"
She is obviously taking the gentle route, okay?
Fu Zhao raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You go ahead. If the Crown Prince wants to take the blame, I will bear the responsibility."
Zimeng felt bitter in his heart. Seeing how much the prince loved Fu Zhao, how could he be willing to blame Fu Zhao? It would definitely be the servants like them who would suffer in the end.
However, Zi Meng did not dare to say these words. Fu Zhao had already reached this point, so he had no choice but to call for someone.
The table was first set up in the yard and covered with oilcloth, and then Zimeng and others took the books out to dry them.
There is no need for Fu Zhao to do these things.
Seeing Zimeng going in and out with a bitter look on his face, Fu Zhao couldn't help but want to laugh. Is Chen Feng really that scary?
When it was time for lunch, Liangsui personally delivered the food.
Fu Zhao also asked Zimeng and the others to have lunch. Anyway, no one had the courage to come to Chen Feng's study to steal books.
Liangsui whispered, "You haven't seen it. Today, my wife took the fourth lady out for a visit. In the end, she came back with a dark face. She didn't even eat lunch at her home."
Fu Zhao asked: "Where have they gone at this time?"
"It seems like you went to Shen's house?"
Fu Zhao was really surprised: "Why are you going to Shen's house?"
Liangsui shook his head, "This slave didn't find out."
Fu Zhaomoran, it's not like he went to the Shen family to tell him not to break off the engagement.
She shook her head slightly. Anyway, these things were not something she could control.
On the other side, Mrs. Chen lost her temper, her face turned red, and she was obviously very angry.
Recalling the scene at Shen's house, she felt angry.
There have been a lot of rumors in the capital recently, and she vaguely speculated that it was the Shen family who released him.
These rumors are like swords, almost destroying the Chen family.
And it's been several days, and the rumors show no signs of dying down and are getting worse.
If it continues like this, it will definitely cause immeasurable consequences to the Chen family.
When Dingbei Hou came back, he found that Dingbei Hou's mansion was rumored to be a place like a brothel, and Chen Yaying's reputation was in shambles. Maybe Dingbei Hou would divorce his wife!
Mrs. Chen couldn't sit still anymore, so she took Chen Yaying to the Shen family, hoping that the Shen family would show their favor.
Chen Yaying's temper must have offended Mrs. Shen unintentionally.
She was willing to bow her head, but Mrs. Shen put on airs.
Mrs. Shen's face was grave, "Our two families have canceled their engagement and have nothing to do with each other anymore. I wonder what else I can do to help you?"
Mrs. Chen didn't seem to hear Mrs. Shen's strange annoyance, "Although we broke off the engagement, the rumors outside..."
Mrs. Shen sneered, "Why, do you suspect that I spread the rumors? Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart!"
Mrs. Shen was very irritated about Shen Han's affairs, and she didn't have a good look towards the Chen family.
If the Chen family hadn't suddenly broken off the engagement, Shen Han wouldn't have gotten this disease.
In the final analysis, it’s Chen Yaying’s fault!
Mrs. Shen glared at Chen Yaying.
Mrs. Chen's face looked ugly, but thinking of the purpose of coming here, she had no choice but to endure it.
She pulled Chen Yaying's sleeve and motioned for Chen Yaying to speak.
Before coming, she had told Chen Yaying that as long as Chen Yaying gave Mrs. Shen a gift and apology, the Shen family might let the Chen family go and not stir up trouble outside again.
For the sake of her own reputation, Chen Yaying gritted her teeth, blessed Mrs. Shen, and whispered: "If I said something wrong before and offended Madam, please forgive me for my father's sake." This time."
Mrs. Shen's face was cold, "How have you ever offended me? Why can't I understand? I still have many things to do, so I won't leave you alone."
Whenever she thought of Shen Han's illness, Mrs. Shen's heart was pierced with daggers, and she didn't have a good look towards these two people.
The doctor also said that Shen Han's disease was very difficult and that it was the most serious and could not necessarily be cured.
Mrs. Shen stood up with a bang and strode away, leaving only the maid to entertain the two of them, which made Mrs. Chen and Chen Yaying very angry.
Both of them are concerned about face, and now they are willing to put down their status. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen not only did not appreciate it, but also slapped them hard on the face.
When the two returned to the Hou Mansion, they sat there for a long time and were still angry.
Chen Yaying choked and said: "Mom, is there any other way?"
If the rumors continue like this, maybe the clan will send a respected elder to take her to the family temple to practice.
Mrs. Chen was so distraught that she felt that her heart was being grabbed by a hand and she was almost out of breath.
After a long while, she said: "Go and stay in the ancestral hall in the mansion for a few days and ask the ancestors of the Chen family to bless you."
Chen Yaying was startled.
Mrs. Chen waved her hand impatiently, "Go quickly, maybe our ancestors will be moved by your sincerity and will protect you from this calamity in heaven."
Chen Yaying's tears fell down.
At the moment, there is no better way besides this method.
Chen Yaying burst into tears and went to the ancestral hall with the help of the maid.
Mrs. Chen sighed heavily and pinched her eyebrows tiredly. What was going on!
The news that Chen Yaying went to the ancestral hall soon spread throughout the Hou Mansion.
Everyone was very moved that Chen Yaying, the apple of the Marquis' eye, would go to the ancestral hall one day.
What a turn of events!
Young ladies such as Su Yurong and Chen Yaying who have not left the court are unable to protect themselves and have no energy to take care of Chen Yaying's affairs.
People like Qian and Zhao who have daughters feel that this punishment is not painful.
When my daughter wants to get married in the future, it will definitely be more difficult with such a notorious aunt.
