Before reaching the door of the House of the Minister of Revenue, the carriage was already blocked and stopped.
After waiting for a long time, the carriage slowly arrived at the door.
After getting off the carriage, Xia Junkai got off first, then turned around to help him. Chu Yunli put her hand on his hand, jumped off neatly, and then took a step back.
Xia Junkai also noticed that he was not the only one who deliberately paid attention to the distance between the two. This person seemed unwilling to get too close to him.
Of course Chu Yunli would not get too close to him, not to mention that she had someone in her heart. If she got involved in the relationship between Lin Liqiu and Xia Junkai, I am afraid that Lin Liqiu underneath would be even more dissatisfied. She is here to help.
She can dissipate grievances, revenge can be avenged, and children can be protected. As for men, it’s better not to touch her.
No one at the door noticed the alienation between the couple, and a housekeeper immediately came out and asked them to come in. As soon as they entered the door, Sun Fu came over with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Someone asked me about Master Xia just now.
coming."
Xia Junkai went up to greet her, while Chu Yunli here had a nanny who invited her to the garden where she was entertaining female guests.
Before leaving, Chu Yunli walked to Xia Junkai and said, "Ziqing, I'm going over there."
Xia Junkai looked back, "Be careful."
A pun.
Chu Yunli smiled slightly, "Husband, be careful too."
Mammy took her to the garden and said with a smile, "Mrs.
I’ll still protect you.”
Chu Yunli pretended to smile shyly and did not answer the question.
When grandma took her to the door of a small garden, she held her stomach and looked embarrassed, "Mrs.
Chu Yunli strolled in. The garden was quite exquisite and full of small flowers, but there were no other guests, but she could faintly hear them not far away.
"Who are you?" A young woman with a delicate face wearing light yellow clothes stood among the flowers with a curious look on her face.
Meeting her understanding eyes, Chu Yunli reached out and touched a flower, "Why are you pretending? That servant is not from your family. He brought me here and escaped. Miss Sun, just say it."
Sun Yan's face paled slightly, "We have never met, we don't know each other at all. I don't understand what you mean?"
"Don't understand?" Chu Yunli straightened up, "In order to marry my husband, you have attacked me several times. I didn't expect that Miss Sun is very good at pretending to be stupid. Are you not good-looking and can't get married?"
Sun Yan was average-looking, and if he was good-looking, Sun Fu would definitely send him to the palace because of his love for camping.
The tone was sarcastic, and Sun Yan looked ugly, "Believe it or not? It would be too rude for you to barge into the owner's house as a guest and say these words to ridicule me."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows and did not argue with her. He bowed slightly and said, "If that's the case, then I'll just leave."
As soon as she finished speaking, she really didn't bother and turned around to leave.
It's just that you went the wrong way. The Sun family is having a banquet with guests today, so what's weird about going the wrong way?
Sun Yan's face was complicated. It was impossible to say how deep her love for Xia Junkai was. At first, when her mother told her that her father had chosen her marriage, and her fiancé was Xia Junkai, who had a bad background, she was a little unwilling. Later, she learned that
This Xia Junkai had a wife, and it was even more difficult to accept it. But later, her marriage was delayed again and again, and her mother quietly told her that there was a change in the marriage, and Xia Junkai's wife could not be killed no matter what.
She didn't know about the previous few times, but she knew about the hay fever last time. It was a secret medicine that could not be seen by ordinary people. But she still failed.
Moreover, Yin Changle, a grown man, would never put powder on his face. The only possibility is that the Xia family saw something wrong with it and used it on him instead.
The Xia family was poor and had been farming for hundreds of years. How could they see that there was something wrong with that thing?
Men generally don't pay attention to women's perfume, and it's probably Mrs. Xia who noticed it herself. So she asked people to bring her here just to see what the woman Xia Junkai couldn't leave behind looked like?
I didn't expect that she... was too upright and rude. She was indeed a country woman!
Chu Yunli went straight out of the garden and followed the sound to the place where the guests were actually being entertained. As Xia Junkai's wife, as soon as she entered the door, many people greeted her warmly.
Of course, high-ranking officials are respected, but people like Xia Junkai, who walks in front of the emperor every day, are even more valued. You must know that he is in front of the emperor. A casual word may affect the emperor's inherent impression of a person. In short, he does not dare to offend.
.
Chu Yunli was not polite to her enemies at all. But in front of so many ladies, she was still very knowledgeable. Her smile was just right and her words were gentle and polite, which made people feel like spring breeze.
For a while, the atmosphere was good.
Someone also asked about Yin Changle, who died of hay fever. Chu Yunli looked frightened, "I was so frightened that I had nightmares for many days. Fortunately, my family helped me find a prescription to soothe my nerves, and I got better."
In short, there are three words that cannot be separated from Xia Junkai. Everyone must know that Mr. Xia has a deep love for his wife and has no intention of keeping a concubine.
It would be fine if Xia Junkai had that intention, but since he didn't, Chu Yunli felt that it was still necessary to help Lin Liqiu stop him.
Sun Fu personally sent the invitation, and many people came. When the banquet was about to begin, the housekeeper Sun Fu whispered a few words in his ear. Sun Fu's expression changed slightly, and then he became happy again and raised his voice, "I didn't expect Cang
The prince is also here, can you all come with me to greet him?"
There was an uproar.
Many people looked at Sun Fu with something wrong. Prince Cang, the emperor's younger brother, was the only prince in the history of Lan Kingdom who could stay in the capital after the new emperor ascended the throne. I didn't expect that a mere minister of household affairs could hook up with him.
Xia Junkai helped Chu Yunli stand up with the flow, and whispered, "Prince Cang is the younger brother of the current emperor. He is very favored by the emperor. He is easy-going and fair in dealing with things. Many adults secretly said that if it weren't for the emperor, he would be the elder.
The two of them are brothers and there is no competition...Prince Cang will probably take that position as well."
Chu Yunli snorted, "No fight?"
"Then how did he get such a good reputation among civil and military officials?"
Xia Junkai was dumbfounded, saying this seemed to be true.
In the more than a hundred years since the founding of the Lan Kingdom, there have been many old princes from top to bottom. Most of them went to fiefdoms after the new emperor succeeded to the throne. Even if they were somewhat famous when they were princes, not many people mentioned them after they left.
If Prince Cang really doesn't have that intention, why bother to manage this reputation?
Seeing the door in front of him, and a man wearing silver embroidered clothes standing at the door, Chu Yunli whispered, "Don't look at what a person says, just look at what he does and what he gets, you will know his
Purpose."
Xia Junkai was thoughtful, and the two of them followed the crowd and knelt down to greet him. Prince Cang was indeed an easy-going man, "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Sun, don't think that this king spares your interest."
"Your Majesty is willing to show your respect to me, and I am unfortunately honored to take my father to thank you." Sun Fu smiled and extended his hand, "Your Majesty, please."
The crowd behind them split into a lane in an instant. When Prince Cang passed by Xia Junkai and the two of them, he paused and said, "I heard that Mr. Xia's husband and wife are deeply in love. It is very rare for wealth and wealth to not abandon their wives who are poor."
Xia Junkai hurriedly leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary."
Only then did Prince Cang slowly walk inside.
The arrival of Prince Cang made the banquet more lively. After the banquet, Xia Junkai took Chu Yunli and left quickly. He was really afraid that something would happen.
Although Chu Yunli looked very excited and looking forward to it before coming, Xia Junkai still didn't want to give the people behind the scenes a chance to take action.
They came out quite early, and when they arrived in front of their carriage, they didn't see the driver. Xia Junkai opened the curtain and said, "Go in and wait..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Yunli pulled him away and took him a few steps back. He saw several wasps buzzing out from the opened curtain.
It’s really... I never expected it!
With current medical technology, being stung by a wasp can cost you half of your life even if you don't die.
Xia Junkai's eyes widened. Without thinking, he grabbed Chu Yunli's hand and said, "Run!"
I pulled it, ahem...it didn't pull.
In Xia Junkai's frightened eyes, the wasps flew closer and closer, and then... the wasps avoided the two of them and flew away quickly.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Xia Junkai looked at the wasps flying away and said, "Uh, do they know you?"
"Probably so." Chu Yunli got on the carriage first, "Come up and wait."
Since there was a wasp in the carriage, the driver must have been lured away.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the coachman to come back, clutching his stomach and looking pale, "I'm not feeling well, Sir and Mrs. Lao have been waiting for a long time..."
Xia Junkai looked him up and down, but he looked really pale, and then asked, "What did you eat after you left home?"
The coachman was a little confused, "I just ate the food prepared by the Minister's Mansion!"
The two of them looked at each other and had something to worry about in their hearts.
Chu Yunli threw down the curtain and said, "Let's go."
The carriage was parked in the back alley of the Shilang's Mansion. If you wanted to go home, you had to pass by the gate of the Shilang's Mansion. At that time, Sun Fu was seeing off guests. When Xia Junkai passed by, he stopped specifically and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for the hospitality."
When Sun Fu saw the two of them, he concealed the surprise in his eyes and said with a smile, "No need."
After leaving the Vice Minister's Mansion, Chu Yunli thought thoughtfully, "Which inn was Yin Changle at when he saw Mr. Sun last time? Help me find out, is he still going?"
Xia Junkai agreed and was curious, "Why did the wasp fly by itself just now?"
Chu Yunli snorted coldly, "You see I'm very fierce, so you don't dare to sting me!"
Xia Junkai: "..." Talking nonsense seriously!
