Cheng Yushu's head immediately shook like a rattle, "I didn't see anything."
Fu Zhao patted Cheng Yushu's hand and said warmly: "Okay, let's go back to the Hou Mansion."
Back at the Hou Mansion, it was getting late, so Fu Zhao went straight back to his yard.
She also had to prepare dinner and wait for Chen Feng to come back.
Cheng Yushu now wanted to curry favor with Chen Yaying, so she shamelessly followed Chen Yaying to Chen Yaying's yard.
There is no legitimate daughter in the Hou Mansion. Dingbei Hou loves his daughter Chen Yaying the most. Chen Yaying is the first to be treated among the ladies in the Hou Mansion, and she is treated according to the treatment of a legitimate daughter.
Cheng Yushu looked around Chen Yaying's boudoir and was shocked by the majestic and precious furnishings in the room.
At the same time, she was even more certain that her decision to befriend Chen Yaying was the right one.
When there was no one else waiting in the room, Chen Yaying couldn't help but talk about the scene she saw outside.
Chen Yaying said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that the third brother, who seems to be a gentle and gentle man, would actually raise an extramarital wife. It's true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance."
Among the several brothers, the second brother smells like copper, the fourth brother is as timid as a mouse, the fifth brother is not easy to get close to, and Chen Yaying's favorite is the third brother.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
It looks like the outer room is about to give birth. Does the third brother want the bones and blood of the Hou family to be shed outside?
But these are things that she, a young lady who has not yet left the government, can take care of.
In the spring of next year, she will talk about kissing her.
She must prepare two pieces of embroidery that she can use.
She looked at Cheng Yushu, her eyes lit up, "Sister Yushu, do you know how to inject?"
Cheng Yushu nodded.
"That's great. You can help me with this. I want to make some connections."
Cheng Yushu naturally would not refuse.
When she was helping Chen Yaying, she asked tentatively: "What kind of person is my third cousin? If I don't tell my third cousin about this, will my third cousin be unhappy?"
"Don't tell Sister-in-law Third," Chen Yaying kindly reminded her. "You may think that Sister-in-law Three is from a scholarly family, but she has the smallest belly, and her mind is smaller than a pinhole. If you don't want to be resented by Sister-in-law Three,
Come on, just pretend you didn’t see what happened today.”
Cheng Yushu covered her mouth in surprise, "But the third cousin doesn't look like that."
Chen Yaying lowered her voice, "I know her better than you do, so just listen to me and forget what you saw today."
"Well, I understand." Cheng Yushu continued to help Chen Yaying, but his mind became more active.
Cheng Yushu had dinner at Chen Yaying's place and stayed for a while before going back to Mrs. Chen's place.
Before Mrs. Chen had decided where Cheng Yushu would live, she asked Cheng Yushu to live with her.
Seeing Cheng Yushu come in, Mrs. Chen hurriedly waved to her to sit down next to her.
Mrs. Chen asked with a smile: "Where did you go for another day of fun today?"
Cheng Yushu lowered his head and twisted his clothes uneasily with his hands.
When Mrs. Chen saw this, she immediately understood that Cheng Yushu must have encountered something.
She waved her hand and asked all the servants serving in the room to go out.
"Okay, there's no one else in the room, what happened to you?"
"No...no..." Cheng Yushu said timidly.
Mrs. Chen put her hand on Cheng Yushu's back and coaxed: "I am your aunt, what can't you say to me? Don't be afraid, I will make the decision for you."
Cheng Yushu raised her head and summoned up the courage to say, "Actually, I heard something from my fifth cousin..."
After hearing Fu Zhao's name, Mrs. Chen became more energetic. Her eyes were sharp and she urged: "What are you talking about? Say it quickly."
"I heard the fifth cousin said that the third brother had a foreign wife outside, and that foreign wife was about to give birth... She said she saw it with her own eyes..." Cheng Yushu said tangledly, "I also heard from the fifth cousin.
Maybe I heard it wrong."
Mrs. Chen's face was gloomy, and she sneered, "You have a nose and an eye. How could you have heard it wrong?"
It was the first time that Cheng Yushu saw Mrs. Chen's face look so ugly, and her heart was pounding.
What she just said should be watertight and would not be suspected, right?
But seeing Mrs. Chen's face, she became panicked and frightened again.
Mrs. Chen thought for a while, and then suddenly called in her confidant, Mrs. Chen.
After Mother Chen came in, she gave some instructions in Mother Chen's ear.
After hearing what Mrs. Chen said, Mrs. Chen could not hide her surprise.
But since Cheng Yushu was still there, Mother Chen didn't ask any questions, just said yes and went out.
Mrs. Chen sighed quietly, what was Chen Xin doing?
Let’s not talk about raising the outside room. If the outside room’s belly is so big, why don’t you bring it back to the Hou Mansion? Do you want the bones and blood of the Hou Mansion to be lost outside?
If the Marquis found out, he would definitely scold her for not doing her duty as a stepmother.
Although she gave birth to a young master in the Hou Mansion, the previous young masters have grown up, and her position in the Hou Mansion is still not very stable.
If her son cannot inherit the title, she and her son will have to live a life of dependence on others after the marquis dies.
Days like that... she felt bad for her son just thinking about it.
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Chen remembered that Cheng Yushu was still here. Cheng Yushu's face was full of panic.
She tried to slow down her tone and said comfortingly: "You should go back and rest first."
Cheng Yushu hesitated for a while, then pulled Mrs. Chen's sleeve and begged: "Aunt, can you not tell my fifth cousin what I said today? I'm afraid that my fifth cousin will misunderstand me."
Mrs. Chen patted her hand and promised: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Cheng Yushu then left with peace of mind.
Cheng’s mother was Cheng Yushu’s confidant and watched Cheng Yushu grow up.
Cheng Yushu returned to the house prepared for her by Mrs. Chen and told her mother Cheng what happened in Mrs. Chen's house.
Cheng's mother immediately said disapprovingly: "Miss, why are you doing this? If someone leaks something, wouldn't we offend the Crown Prince's wife?"
Cheng Yushu held hot tea in both hands, and the dissatisfaction and panic in her heart dissipated a lot.
"Auntie said it, and she won't tell others that I said it."
Cheng's mother shook her head, "But what good will this do to you?"
Cheng Yushu smiled and said nothing.
The benefits will be seen in the future.

As soon as Fu Zhao returned to the courtyard, he prepared dinner.
Si Qi said: "Wei Shan, who is next to the Crown Prince, said that the Crown Prince has something to do with the Third Young Master, and I'm afraid he won't be back for dinner."
Fu Zhao was slightly disappointed, "That's it. Let the kitchen staff not prepare any more, just these dishes."
Fu Zhao washed his hands and sat down at the table.
Liangsui and Siqi brought the dinner in.
Fu Zhao was half-way through it in silence, when he suddenly heard a movement outside the house.
