Chapter 5: The Mother's Return

The weather was already hot in spring, and Chu Minlan had already changed into a thin silk pink floral skirt that should have been worn in summer because of her greed for coolness and beauty, and the water-stained clothes were all attached to her body and became translucent, suddenly showing Chu Minlan's delicate girl's body in front of Zhao Shou's eyes.

"Ahh Chu Minlan screamed, clasped her hands on her chest, her cheeks were red, like a shy begonia flower, and Zhao Shou was also red-faced, "Second cousin, I, I ......"

"What's going on?" With an angry shout, the graceful and noble Chu Shulan appeared with a large group of maids, her sharp gaze swept over Chu Minlan, and turned to Zhao Shou, "Second cousin, why are you here?" ”

"Cousin, I ......"

"Second cousin, don't look at insolence!" Chu Shulan reproached, which made Zhao Shou startled, and immediately turned his back, and then he heard Chu Shulan's voice again, "Put the cloak I took off just now and put it on the second miss." I don't see what happened today, who dares to leak a word, don't blame me for betraying you! ”

"Yes." The maids replied in unison.

Zhao Shou breathed a sigh of relief, his cousin was really thoughtful

Chu Shulan glared at Chu Minlan fiercely, "Aren't you learning the rules?" How did you slip out? Do you want your name festival anymore?! Stop discrediting the Chu family! ”

Completely suppressed by Chu Shulan's momentum, Chu Minlan, who was soaked with wolves, wrapped in the cloak handed over by the maids, and felt an urge to cry in her heart, in front of such a noble Chu Shulan, she was like a clown. And I don't know if I got cold in the lake just now, Chu Minlan felt a faint pain in her lower abdomen.

Looking at Chu Minlan's tearful eyes and Chu Chu's pitiful appearance, Chu Shulan felt tired, she was not a man, what were she doing like this?

"Send the second lady back!"

So Chu Minlan and Zhao Shou didn't even say a word, and were sent back to their yard by the maids. And in the hearts of these maids, Chu Minlan's image has plummeted: a concubine is a concubine, she doesn't understand any rules, and she doesn't even have a name.

Zhao Shou then turned around and looked at Chu Shulan, who seemed calm and calm surrounded by a group of maids, and for some reason his mind involuntarily appeared in his mind Although he was a wolf just now, Chu Chu pity made him feel a protective impulse, "Cousin, don't blame the second cousin, I was wrong just now." ”

"Second cousin, Minlan is damaged because of your reputation. The second cousin should be responsible as a man, and the marriage contract between you and me is just a joke from the elders, so let's do it. I will tell my father about this, and I hope that my aunt and uncle will send someone to come to your door to propose marriage to Minlan for you one day. Chu Shulan didn't want to entangle with this person too much, so she directly stated her decision.

"Cousin!" Zhao Shou was taken aback, although he didn't like this cousin who had never given him a good face, but since he could remember, the perception that his cousin Chu Shulan was his future wife had been ingrained, and he never thought that one day his cousin would marry someone else. And he is a son-in-law, even if it is the second son-in-law, it is impossible to deign to marry a concubine as a wife.

"Second cousin wants to be responsible?" Chu Shulan's eyes were like knives, and she stabbed straight over. "The women of our Chu family, even if they are concubines, are only wives and not concubines, this is the ancestral training!"

Zhao Shou couldn't help but shrink a little, and suppressed the idea of taking a concubine back, "How is it possible?" Of course I will be responsible. "The Zhao family has already declined a little, and it can't compete with the Chu family, which is in full swing.

"It's good to be responsible, second cousin, please go back and tell your aunt and uncle about this. This is the inner house, and the second cousin is better off as a man. After speaking, Chu Shulan left with the maids. When she turned around, she felt as if she saw herself who was physically and mentally exhausted by the double betrayal of her husband and sister.

In this life, without her, the original wife, to be a villain between them, she wants to see if the lovers can love each other again, and she wants to see how long the true love between them can last in the face of reality.

Early in the morning, a team of chariots and horses drove in from the city gate that had just been opened, heading towards the Jingjie Houfu. The door of the Jingjie Houfu was also wide open, and the housekeeper and a group of people were looking forward to it outside the door, and when they saw the team of chariots and horses, they hurriedly saluted and shouted loudly: "Welcome Mrs. back to the house." ”

Mrs. Jingjiehou, who had been out to worship the Buddha for nearly ten days, returned to the capital today.

After the convoy came to a stop, the curtain of the most magnificent carriage was lifted, and out of it came two young girls who looked exactly the same and were dressed in first-class maids.

A slender and white hand stretched out, and people couldn't take their eyes off that hand alone, the knuckles were slender, warm and white, with a warm jade-like luster. The hand was put on the hand of a first-class maid, and then out of the carriage walked out of a woman wearing a first-class command, just looking at the appearance of this woman will not be more than thirty years old, the real color is like spring flowers, eyes like autumn water, a body of snow skin is better than those cardamom girls in their prime, and different from the girl's youth, this woman has a mature charm and natural charm, but more graceful atmosphere, like a proud national peony.

She is Mrs. Jingjiehou, Zhao.

"Up." Mrs. Zhao waved her hand absentmindedly, and then sat in a sedan chair carried by eight people and entered the Hou Mansion from the main entrance.

Returning to the main hall of Jingjie, Rong'an Hall, Zhao saw the four children who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Mother is well." Chu Shulan was in the style of everyone, and elegantly performed a standard greeting ceremony, and her movements were smooth and very beautiful. The next moment, he stepped forward to the Zhao family who was sitting there, grabbed her arm, and looked like a little daughter's joy, "Mother, Shu Lan misses you so much." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhao's mouth, obviously very satisfied with Chu Shulan's appearance. But she didn't speak, but looked at Chu Lingfeng.

"Mother is well." Chu Lingfeng also had a decent salute, although it looked a little funny because of his chubby body and short arms and broken legs, but it was very marked, so that people couldn't find any fault with his etiquette.

Zhao nodded with satisfaction, although his son is still young, he is very smart, and his sister-in-law's demeanor is also very good. She would not let anyone sit on it except her own son.

"Mother is well." Chu Lingxuan saluted with admiration, he was the eldest son of the concubine, his mother died of postpartum hemorrhage when he was born, and he was raised by the Zhao family since he was a child.

Ling Xuan's face looked a little pale, he studied very hard, but it was not good to damage his body. Be mindful of rest. The Zhao family had a motherly posture, and compared with the nod to Chu Lingfeng in front of her, she was more intimate and concerned about Chu Lingxuan.
