Chao Li was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Chao Wan to come over so directly.
"Why are Wan'er here? Do you still like the things I asked Pei Qian to send to you secretly that day?"
Hearing this, Chao Wan smiled. She was very happy that Chao Li called her Wan'er so affectionately, instead of sister or younger sister.
"Neither my second aunt nor my father had time to pay attention to me and my aunt, so I came. Thank you sister, I like it very much, and let her bother." Chao Wan replied with a blushing face.
In fact, what Chaoli asked Pei Qian to give to Chaowan was not a precious gift, but some books that were not easy to buy, which Chaoli asked Zhaocai to buy.
Chao Wan likes reading books while playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and doesn't care too much about anything else.
The way to attract wealth is through the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, so it is easy to buy the book Chao Wan wants.
Of course, what Chao Wan likes is not the notes left by masters, nor the books left by literati, but some short story books.
Ordinary women in the boudoir rarely read story books. After all, this kind of story books are not suitable for young girls' families, and most women like to read them.
"You're welcome. I'll walk around a lot in the spring. If I meet the right person, tell me and I'll find a way to help you. Now Chao Lu has set his sights on you and feels that you are his hope.
, just ask him for whatever you want, there is no need to save money for him. Now that Chaozhen is about to get married, I guess Li doesn’t have that much time to trouble you." Chaoli whispered.
Chao Wan nodded, "Thank you sister, I will do it."
"This time Dieyi was able to enter the imperial court smoothly, thanks to the third aunt. You must be careful not to have anything to do with Dieyi. Even try to make enemies with him as much as possible. In this way, the Li family will most likely cooperate with you. When the time comes,
It will be convenient for us to make a plan for the next step." He said toward Li.
"Don't worry, sister, my aunt and I will be careful not to be discovered by our second aunt," Chao Wan replied.
The two sisters said some more personal words before Chao Wan left the yard.
Seeing that it was almost time, I went back to the palace today. I didn't expect that something would happen to Chaozhen. There was nothing to see now, so Chaoli simply prepared to go back.
Chao Lu was busy fighting with Die Yi, and Mrs. Chao probably didn't have much time. Chao Li just said a word to Butler Bai and left.
Sitting on the carriage, Chao Li closed his eyes to rest and began to think about the next step.
Suddenly, Chaoli smelled a sweet and not greasy scent.
"Pei Yu, stop, I smell chestnut cake, go buy some quickly." Chaoli smiled with his eyebrows creasing.
"Yes, miss." Pei Yu immediately moved to the side and stopped the carriage.
Qing Yi sat across from Chao Li and covered her lips with a smile, "Why does the young lady suddenly want to eat these? It's a pity that I don't know how to cook them, otherwise I would cook them for the young lady to eat when I get back."
Chaoli couldn't help but feel a little happy when he thought about the chestnut cake, and he also laughed.
"It's okay, we just eat occasionally."
Suddenly, there were footsteps and gasps from behind, as if someone was running.
Before Chao Li could lift the curtain of the carriage to take a look, the carriage suddenly vibrated, followed by the sound of a whip hitting the horse's back, and Chao Li's carriage started to move.
"What's going on? Pei Yu?" Qing Yi quickly asked.
There was no response from outside the carriage. Chaoli's face turned cold and he had some bad guesses in his mind.
Earlier, Gu Hanzhang found a lot of things because he went to the military camp, so Chaoli was also very careful, worried that he would become a weapon for others to deal with Gu Hanzhang.
Going out today was very low-key, and with Pei Yu by my side, there shouldn't be any problems.
But why is it that someone has robbed her carriage and is still driving quickly?
"Who are you? Stop!" Chao Lihan said.
The next moment, a male voice sounded outside.
"I'm sorry, girl, I really had no choice but to use your carriage. I will make it up to you later if I escape pursuit," the man replied.
Qing Yi regained his breath and immediately became furious, "How dare you, who are you? How dare you rob the carriage of our Zhenbei Hou Mansion!"
I don't know what Ping Peiyu's reaction will be when she comes back later. Who would have thought that just when they were buying a chestnut cake, their carriage would be robbed.
"Zhenbei Hou's Mansion?" The man smiled cheerfully, "It turns out to be the carriage of Zhenbei Hou's Mansion, so it should be okay for me to borrow it today. I am from General Weiyuan's Mansion, and my name is Xuecheng."
When Chaoli heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not the one who attacked her.
"It turns out to be the young general. I wonder why the young general robbed my carriage? He also said that someone is chasing him. Who is so bold and dares to chase the young general?" Chao Li asked with a smile.
Since he was someone he had met before at the Hua Chao Festival, and he knew Xuecheng's personality in his previous life, Chaoli was not nervous at all.
Xuecheng was also stunned. If the other party knew about him, he should be acquainted with him, and he felt relieved.
Originally they just grabbed an ordinary carriage, but it turned out to be a carriage from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. They were so low-key that he really didn't notice it from their appearance.
"It's good that you know me, girl. I really just borrowed it and will return it to you when I get to the next alley. I'm really sorry. I offended you just now. The person chasing me should be unable to get rid of me." Xue Cheng didn't dare to look back.
An idea flashed in Chaoli's mind, and he suddenly remembered something important.
Just now, Xuecheng said that someone was chasing him, and it was Gao Rui who made a fuss in his previous life. He chased Xuecheng so much that he hid in the military camp.
So, it was Gao Rui who Xue Cheng was escaping from?
However, Chaoli would definitely not ask more questions at this time, otherwise she would not be able to explain why she knew this. Judging from the situation in front of her, it was probably just at the beginning that Gao Rui fell in love with Xuecheng.
She had met Gao Rui several times before, and she liked Gao Rui quite a lot. In addition to seeing her together on a trip to Mingyue Lake, and Mrs. Gao's righteous speech at the palace banquet, her impression of Gao Rui was not bad.
It stands to reason that Gao Rui is a good-looking person with a temperament that dares to love and hate, but Xue Cheng is afraid to avoid her, and she doesn't know why. Maybe she thinks so because she doesn't understand him well.
Chaoli was a little curious and a little surprised.
Soon, the carriage stopped. Xuecheng must have driven the carriage into the alley.
At this moment, Pei Yu also rushed over.
"The thief dared to rob my lady's carriage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yu actually pulled out the soft sword from his waist and attacked Xuecheng.
Pei Yu, who was in a panic, didn't pay attention to Xuecheng's appearance. After buying chestnut cakes, she discovered that the carriage was missing. After asking about it, she heard that someone had robbed the carriage, which almost frightened her.
Fortunately, someone saw the carriage along the way, so she was able to catch up so quickly.
Xuecheng quickly resisted and shouted loudly.
"Ah, I didn't mean it. Please listen to me first. It was just an accident. I just agreed."
Unfortunately, the rest of Xuecheng's words were interrupted.
