Rao is Mengbao's body is good, and when he got up the next day, his eyes were faintly blue.

Shen Nanzhu was distressed and asked people to boil eggs to roll them for her personally, but she didn't see much better, and she always felt that she could still see a little trace.

Mengbao looked at his worried eyes and smiled: "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

His frowning brow did not stretch, but became even more uneasy.

The girl seemed to be back to normal, and no longer had lost her mind as she had been when she came back yesterday.

But he was faintly aware of her subconscious estrangement.

The smile on her face was barely recognizable, and her expression was polite and detached, just like he did when he faced outsiders.

Did she treat him like an outsider?

This thought made Shen Nanzhu feel like something was blocked, very uncomfortable, and he wanted to break the deadlock but didn't know what to do.

There was a faint howl in the room, and the little white dog nesting in the corner of the wall came over at some point, rubbing against his feet.

He grabbed the puppy by the neck and put it in her arms: "You haven't named it yet, have you thought about it?" ”

Mengbao looked at the snow-white lump in his arms, his eyes softened a little, and after being slightly silent, he shook his head: "...... I haven't thought about it yet, so let's talk about it when I think about it. ”

"Oh...... Good ......"

Shen Nanzhu really didn't know what to say, so he could only sit beside her and watch her touch the puppy's head for a while.

The puppy seemed to like her petting and hunched over and rubbed his head into her hand.

She smiled, and then the smile was a little more real, and it was no longer as shallow as before when it hung on her face like a mask.

Smiling at a dog looks better than smiling at him......

Shen Nanzhu suddenly felt that the dog he brought back was not very pleasing to the eye.

…………………………

After breakfast, Shen Nanzhu went to the outer courtyard.

Today, Shen Nancheng invited some people who had business dealings with the Dingnan Hou Mansion to the mansion as guests, and he never participated in this kind of banquet because he was not often in Bei'an. But now that he has decided to stay, he naturally has to come forward to socialize.

Mengbao was left alone in the room, holding the puppy in one hand, and flipping through the silk threads and fabrics in the embroidery basket with the other, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mother Zhao walked in with a somewhat panicked look at this time and whispered a few words in her ear.

Mengbao's eyes froze, and his brows frowned tightly: "He's so bold." ”

"Yes. The slave didn't expect it either. How dare he ......"

"Where?"

"Say yes...... Next to the rockery on the east side of the garden...... Miss, you ...... Do you really want to go? ”

Mengbao glanced up at her, her eyes a little out of focus: "Do I have any other choice?" ”

"This ......"

"Mother Zhao. Actually, this matter really has nothing to do with me, I don't want to do this, I've never thought about it. ”

Mother Zhao was a little inexplicable by her brainless words, but she felt sad for a while: "Yes." This can't blame you at all, Miss, you are simple-minded. will fall for the tricks of the third young lady, and they will ......"

But what's the use of talking about it now, it's already happened, and it's too late to say anything!

"Let's go. Bring a red note. ”

"Miss......"

Mother Zhao felt flustered for some reason, and pulled her sleeve: "Actually...... Actually, even if we don't go...... He also ......"

"If I really could, my mother wouldn't have come to sue me, would she?"

Meng Bao smiled and said, "Don't worry." It's okay, I'll take my purse back and leave. Never stay long. ”

Mother Zhao's hand pulling at her sleeve hung down weakly, yes, if there was really no way, how could she come to sue Miss Sù.

That hateful Chen Er, damn Chen Er! He actually came to the door with the purse that Miss had given him before, and forced Miss to meet him!

This is in the Dingnan Hou Mansion! How dare he!

Mengbao walked out with Zhao's mother and the red note, saying that they were walking around everywhere, so that the other people in the yard didn't have to follow.

The maids and ladies in the courtyard all knew that this young lady was very favored by the prince, and like the prince, she was a person who did not like to be served closely.

Mengbao walked all the way to a secluded place, and came to the rockery on the east side of the garden.

There were Chen Er's people guarding both ends of the path leading here, and Mother Zhao and Hongjian couldn't believe them, so they naturally guarded the two ends in person, and they didn't have a good face for Chen Er's people.

Mengbao looked at Chen Er, who was already waiting by the rock, and walked over slowly.

"Dream Treasure ......"

Chen Er called a little stupidly, and his eyes were full of affection.

"Where's my purse?"

Mengbao asked bluntly without saying a word.

Chen Er didn't expect it to be such an opening statement, he was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head.

"Mengbao really waited for me to be separated...... Is it because of my relationship with Zheng Wu? It really wasn't my own will, you know, I was going to ......"

"You've said this once before, and I'm not here to hear you say it a second time. I just want to ask, what about my purse? ”

Chen Er clenched his fists, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but when he looked up again, he looked so tender and sweet: "I know that I was sorry for you before, and I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness." I came today to hear from your maid that you are not having a good time here, and I have been provoking Mrs. Shen and some sisters in the mansion to be unhappy, as if I was deliberately trying to provoke them so that they could be taken out of the mansion. ”

Meng Bao was startled, and stopped when he wanted to say something sarcastic.

She hadn't mentioned this idea to anyone, even the closest Mother Zhao and Hongzhi didn't know, how could he know?

Immediately, she understood that someone had deliberately said such things to Chen Er to induce him to find a way to meet her.

This kind of technique is thought to be the handiwork of Su Mengwan again, she is afraid that she will cut off contact with Chen Er, and she will not be able to find a handle to pinch her in the future, right?

Over there, Chen Er was still talking: "I want to tell you, you must not be like this again, you are simple-minded and stubborn, I don't know how important it is to a woman." If you are kicked out with the reputation of being abandoned, you will not have a good time in this life, and you will ...... in the future."

Meng Bao sneered, looked at him, and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up! If you are really worried about my name, why did you give me that jade pendant and ask me to embroider a purse for you, tempting me to give it to you privately? Now we're married. But you pestered me several times and three times. Is this called worrying about my name? ”

"I don't think it's my business whether or not to be taken out of the house, it's none of your business! You're so worried about whether I'm going to be abandoned, not so much for my sake. It's better to say what you want to do! Figure out what benefits I get from this relationship in Dingnan Houfu! If I really was abandoned, I wouldn't be able to help you anymore, that's why you're in such a hurry, right? ”

Chen Er didn't expect that all his thoughts were guessed by Mengbao, and he was a little panicked for a while, and he had to admit it in his heart. I can't hide my thoughts from the woman in front of me anymore.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, no longer pretending to be affectionate. Instead, he directly threatened: "Since that's the case, then I'll say it directly." I know that the prince of Dingnan Hou loves you very much, and I hope you can find a way for me to get the ...... in the name of Dingnan Hou Mansion through him."

"Shut your foul mouth!"

Mengbao didn't wait for him to finish before interrupting again: "I didn't come today to talk to you about any conditions, I just came to get my purse back." Right now. Immediately, immediately, give it back to me! Otherwise, I'll make your death ugly! ”

Chen Er sneered: "Mengbao." You're still as innocent as ever. Do you think I'll give it back to you so lightly for such a useful thing? How can I deal with you without it? How could you help me? I'm afraid that as soon as you get this purse, you will destroy it and leave me, an old man, behind. Then I flew with your prince and your lord. ”

Mengbao also replied with a sneer: "Did Second Gongzi Chen forget?" You are now in the Dingnan Hou Mansion, as long as I shout casually, I don't know how many people will appear from all directions, if I say that you collided with me, what do you think will be your end? What will happen to your Chen family's estate? What will be the entire foundation of your Chen Mansion in Bei'an City? ”

"Shout?"

Chen Er took out the purse from his sleeve and shook it: "Call people to see how you, the wife of the Hou Shizi of Dingnan, do you not abide by the woman's way and have a private meeting with a foreign man?" Call someone to see why the purse you embroidered is in my hand? Call someone to know that you have a personal affair with me, and you have made a private agreement for life? Mengbao, you are still too simple, you don't know what makes people's hearts sinister. Today is as if I taught you a lesson, and you agreed to my request, and from now on we will never see each other from the well, and we will never see each other. ”

"Hah...... Chen Ergongzi, don't insult the words "sinister people's hearts", people's hearts are sinister and good refers to people, you are clearly a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs! Oh no...... This also insults the wolf and the dog......"

Chen Er's face changed, and he angrily clutched his purse tightly in his hand.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but your mouth is getting sharper and sharper!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, no matter how neat you are, you don't have the ability to distort the facts and turn black and white like you."

Meng Bao looked at Chen Er with disdain on his face, his lips were full of mocking smiles, and continued: "It seems that Second Master Chen is very sure that I don't dare to call people, but you seem to have forgotten one thing......"

Chen Er was stunned in his heart, and felt a little flustered when he looked at the confident ridicule on her lips: "...... What's up? ”

"Second Prince Chen forgot...... I want to be abandoned from the house......"

This sentence exploded in Chen Er's mind like a thunderbolt, and his expression changed suddenly, almost suffocating.

“…… You...... You are really......"

"Nature is true." Mengbao still had a smile on his lips, his dark eyes were shining, and looking at Chen Er's eyes was like seeing a cat with a mouse.

"So you see...... I should not thank you for your arrival today, and I have found a wonderful opportunity to be abandoned from the house? Otherwise, do you think that purse can really lead me out to meet you? ”

"No...... No way...... The prince of Dingnan treats you so well, how can you be willing to ......"

"This is thanks to you, Second Master Chen, you let me see clearly that there is no good thing for men in this world, rather than this, I might as well live alone, marry in first and then be abandoned, and I will never be entangled by men again for the rest of my life with the notoriety of being abandoned, which is exactly what I want."

"You...... You are crazy? It is rumored that he is at odds with his elders and is abandoned, which is not the same thing as being found to have an affair with a foreign man and being abandoned! You...... Aren't you afraid! ”

"Afraid? Anyway, the notoriety of being abandoned is bad enough, do I care if it's any worse? Instead of thinking of ways to provoke the elders' displeasure every day. It's better to take a shortcut, don't you say? ”

Chen Er stood there motionless with a look of being struck by lightning.

He expected that he would be able to handle Su Mengbao, so he specially fought for the opportunity to come today, but he didn't expect that Su Mengbao not only stopped eating his previous set, but also didn't even pay attention to his threat.

Su Mengbao wanted to be abandoned, so she didn't care about her name. But I came here to better connect with the business relationship. He didn't have the heart to die with her!

He hadn't told his eldest brother about losing his seal a few days ago, for fear that they would take the opportunity to suppress him and take back the power in his hands if they found out.

Fortunately, no one is messing around with seals these days. I thought that the thief who stole the purse didn't know it, and felt that it was useless to hold it in his hand, so he discarded it casually.

He originally wanted to go to Su Mengbao today to take a walk, and after winning the business of Dingnanhou Mansion, he would find an excuse to change the seal of the shop. At that time, even if the eldest brother noticed that he had lost the previous seal, it was because he mastered the relationship between the Dingnan Hou Mansion. and shall not do anything to him.

He planned well, but he didn't expect it to become like this.

How does this work?

Although he threatened Su Mengbao that if she shouted out, her private affair would be exposed, but in fact, he was more afraid that it was himself who would be exposed!

Not to mention that once this matter is shaken out, the Dingnan Hou Mansion will not let him go in the first place. Even his current Yue family, the Zheng Mansion, will not let him go!

At that time, Su Mengbao will still have a family to rely on, but he will be directly beaten and killed by his father and eldest brother to apologize to the two mansions! After all, neither of these two families can afford to be messed with by someone of their status!

Meng Bao looked at his lips trembling a little, and felt funny in his heart. He raised his eyebrows and said, "How is it?" Has Chen Ergongzi thought it through? It was to return the purse to me, and we never saw each other again. Or will you continue to use this so-called trick to blackmail me, and then we will both lose? ”

"Don't you speak? That doesn't seem to be the way to give it back to me. Good. I'll count one, two, three, and then I'll call someone. ”

"One ......"

"Here you go!"

Before the end of the first note fell, Chen Er gritted his teeth and took two steps forward to hand her the purse.

Meng Bao sneered and reached out to take it.

Suddenly, there was a sound of flower pots breaking in the distance, and two figures turned out from behind a flower tree.

Meng Bao and Chen Er turned their heads at the same time, and the person who had been hiding in the stone cave of the rockery suddenly came out at this time, and suddenly pushed her in the direction of Chen Er.

Her body fell forward uncontrollably, and Chen Er, who didn't react, also forgot to dodge, and the two bumped into each other like this, as if they were hugging each other from a distance.

The flower tree is still far from here, and it will take a while to get around the path to the rockery.

According to the distance between Chen Er and Mengbao, there are subordinates guarding not far away, even if they stand here and say a few words, it doesn't matter.

But hugging each other like this is absolutely not normal.

Mengbao was shocked, pushed Chen Er away suddenly, and turned his head to look in the direction of the flower tree.

Shen Nanzhu stood beside the flower tree and looked at her from a distance, beside him was a man with piercing eyes.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everything around it seemed to be cut off......

She only felt like falling into an ice cave, and Chen Er on the side was even weaker and fell directly to the ground.

Zhao's mother and Chen Er's subordinates all rushed over as soon as possible, and there were bursts of footsteps around them, as well as suppressed exclamations and whispers.

But Mengbao didn't seem to hear anything, only saw the man silently watching him from a distance, without saying a word, and then ...... Turn away.

…………………………

Mengbao saw him again in the study of Zhuxi Garden.

The warm-faced man sat behind the bookcase, his head lowered and he couldn't see the expression on his face, and the nail of his index finger was tapping lightly on the nail of his thumb.

“…… I didn't have ......"

It was a long time before Mengbao opened his mouth and broke the silence.

"Nothing?"

The man stopped what he was doing and looked up and asked, his voice without the slightest hint of tone.

"I didn't ...... I didn't get close to him, someone pushed me from behind. ”

The man had obviously been planning for a long time, and after pushing her, he quickly fled under the cover of the flowers.

The red note chased after him at that time. I don't know if I can catch it now.

"Hmm," the man behind the bookcase nodded, "I know." ”

Know?

Meng Bao looked up at him sharply.

"I've been standing behind that flower tree for a long time, and I didn't just pass by."

Shen Nanzhu said again.

Standing for a long time?

Why stand for a long time?

Don't...... Are you listening to them?

But...... So far...... Can you hear me?

As if to confirm her thoughts, Shen Nanzhu nodded again: "I heard it all, from beginning to end." ”

He had heard that she had fallen in the garden, and he hurried over to the house, and when he came to the back of the flowering tree, he heard her talking.

She's asking for something from someone. The tone is still very bad. This made him stop a little inexplicably.

Pouch......

Shen Nanzhu thought of this, lowered his head and looked at the Xiangfei bamboo purse hanging on his waist, and then looked at the purse embroidered with an unknown water duck or a mandarin duck that had just been brought in by Aman.

The embroiderer of the purse is obviously worse than his own, but he thinks about it more than he does for himself, right?

This Xiangfei bamboo's purse is not the first purse she embroidered. She was lying to herself.

She was lying to him.

"What do you mean...... Is it all true? ”

He looked at the woman in front of him and asked in a deep voice.

The woman was silent, her head bowed, not knowing what she was thinking, maybe she didn't think about anything, but she didn't know how to answer. Or rather...... Don't know how to deny it?

Shen Nanzhu suddenly chuckled and stopped talking. Instead, he took a piece of paper from the table, picked up the pen and began to write something.

After a few moments, a thin sheet of paper with undried ink was pushed out and reversed. The handwriting was pointing towards Mengbao.

"What do you mean...... Is it true? ”

His fingertips pressed lightly against the piece of paper and asked again.

There are some small characters written densely on the paper, and there are two very conspicuous large characters at the beginning.

Leave the book.

What did she say...... Is it true?

It's true. will take away this letter of resignation.

If it's not true, you won't touch it, right?

He stared at her. There has never been a time when I wish she hadn't come near her, hadn't come to her.

Mengbao slowly raised his head, and saw the word "Xiushu" suddenly broke into his eyes.

Hugh Shu, Hugh Shu, something she had waited so long that she had even given up at one point.

It was useless, and from the moment she had the idea of wanting to stay, it was actually useless.

She didn't want to take it, and she shouldn't have taken it.

But the two words that suddenly sounded in her head made her feel excited, and she subconsciously took a step.

Kill it.

Kill it.

Kill it.

If one day his secret is discovered, will he not hesitate to kill himself?

When the time comes, in this boxy courtyard, she won't even have a place to escape......

Shen Nanzhu watched as the resignation book under his hand was pulled out by the woman little by little, and he could even feel the smooth and soft paper slipping through his fingertips little by little, and finally disappeared.

Unexpectedly...... Taken away?

She actually ...... Really took the letter of resignation!

"Thank you."

There was a woman's quiet, somewhat cold voice in her ears.

Thanks a lot?

She said thank you?

Thanks for what?

Thank him for writing her a letter of resignation?

Thank him for finally letting her get her wish?

and abandoned...... Is that what she really wants?!

Mengbao didn't know how she walked out of the study with the letter of resignation, she only knew that she had just taken two steps into the room when she heard a commotion behind her.

Angry...... The man who was gentle like water and never got angry was angry......

Her heart shrank, and she clutched the book of resignation in her hand tightly and left.

…………………………

Zhao's mother and Hongjian, who were waiting in the room, hurriedly greeted her when they saw her come in, their eyes were red, obviously in a hurry.

"Miss, miss, how's it going? He ...... What did he say? ”

Mengbao ran all the way back, and only came back to his senses when he heard the two of them talking.

"The one who pushed me...... Did you catch it? ”

Instead of answering their questions, she asked them rhetorically.

Hongzhi shook his head: "No, it was Mei Xiang who pushed you, and when the slave was about to catch her, the people of the prince arrived and arrested her first." ”

"That's ......"

"Miss, since the prince has caught someone, he knows that you were framed, he ...... He won't blame you, will he? ”

Mengbao turned his head to look at Zhao's mother and nodded lightly: "Yes, he doesn't blame me for this." ”

Mother Zhao breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and was just about to reach out to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead when she heard her say again: "But he knows what happened before." ”

Bang dang.

Zhao's mother shook her body, bumped into the table and was helped by the red note before she stood firmly.

"You...... What do you say? ”

“…… Before...... He got it. ”

"Got it?"

How so...... How so......

"Got it...... How much? ”

Mother Zhao asked unrelentingly.

"I exchanged tokens with Chen Er, and I made a private agreement for life, these ...... He knew it all. ”

Mother Zhao's eyes were black and she almost fainted, but she breathed a sigh of relief and covered her face and cried: "How can this be...... How can it be so ......" (to be continued) R580
