Chapter Seventy-Six: A Night Encounter
How can that work?!
Wang Xi immediately denied it and said, "I am the youngest daughter in the family, and I have never encountered such a thing." However, our family is in business, you know, this business, there are many people in contact, and there are many things encountered, I heard my eldest brother say it, so I have an impression. ”
She wants to recommend her eldest brother to Chen Luo, and it is necessary to mention her eldest brother in front of Chen Luo from time to time.
Chen Luo seemed to be fascinated by the scene in the clairvoyant mirror, or what he said just now was just a casual remark he said, he didn't answer, but held the clairvoyant mirror and looked more seriously.
Wang Xi pursed his lips and had to wait for Chen Luo to finish reading it.
But her mind didn't stop.
If Chen Jue's affairs really have something to do with Chen Luo, if Chen Luo's character is lenient, it is a bit strong; If it is narrow, it will be repaid.
She will have to keep this in mind when dealing with him in the future.
However, if it were her, she would not let Chen Jue go so easily.
It's just that I don't know what grievances there are between Princess Baoqing and Chen Jue? Does the eldest princess of Baoqing have anything to be sorry for Chen Jue?
And then there is Chen Yu, the prince of Zhenguo, does he know that the eldest princess of Baoqing has a personal affair with her ex-husband's brother-in-law? If he knew, what would he do about it?
Pretending to be deaf and dumb is definitely not a no-no. Chen Jue stabbed this matter to the surface, and Chen Yu had to ask for his family's reputation and reputation no matter how much he could.
Speaking of which, Chen Jue actually gave Chen Yu a problem.
But people have to live to learn all the time, Wang Xi feels that she should pay attention to Zhenguo Gong Chen Yu to see how he will deal with this matter and what the consequences will be, if she encounters similar things again, she can make a reference.
Wang Xi was thinking wildly, and before he knew it, he leaned against the wall.
Chen Luo watched Chen Jue make a lot of noise in his yard in the clairvoyant mirror, whether it was the servant woman in the house, or the housekeeper's mother-in-law, no one dared to come forward to stop her, and no one came forward to say a word for him.
In the past, he was young, and he only felt that this was Chen Jue's unreasonable trouble, Chen Jue's eldest daughter who lost his mother and was undisciplined. But now, he just watched coldly from the side - if his good sister did not have his father's acquiescence and support behind her, how could she be so fierce.
It's a pity that his mother, I'm afraid that at this time, she thinks that it was because she suddenly married into the Zhenguo Mansion that Chen Jue couldn't accept it, so she was particularly disgusted with her. For the sake of fame, his mother would rather retreat from Chen Jue and tolerate it, rather than cause more trouble by disciplining Chen Jue. This makes the relationship between the two more and more distant and indifferent.
But since Chen Jue dared to lure and lure him and Chen Ying to catch the adulterer, how could he let his mother go so easily?
His father should have known at this time that her mother and Jin Songqing had an unusual relationship, but there has been no movement on his father's side.
His mother wouldn't have thought it was over, would she?
Just as the face of this Miss Wang in front of him was full of confusion, he also wanted to know where his mother had gone? What makes Chen Jue so confident to make a fuss at home.
He put down the clairvoyant mirror and silently looked at the lights in the distance.
In the darkness, only his eyes shimmered with a faint light.
It seemed so lonely, lonely and helpless.
Wang Xi's heart pounded a few times, sympathy rose spontaneously, and he couldn't help but tentatively chat with him: "Why are you in the tree?" Are you coming back from outside? I heard you have a house out there too? Where is the house? Far from here? What do you do when you don't live at home? ”
In her opinion, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, food is the first priority.
If you don't have anything to eat, you won't be able to live this life anyway.
Chen Luo looked back at her, as if he had seen her for the first time, neither as gentle as when he was in the pharmacy, nor revealing the violence in the woods, but calmly and with an ordinary attitude: "You are the daughter of the second aunt and grandmother of the Chang family, right?" Is your mother okay? What are you doing in Beijing this time? ”
Wang Xi was a little embarrassed.
Could it be that her mother's affairs have been all over the city, and no one knows about it?
She and Chen Luo also knew each other, and he should have known that her mother was the second aunt and grandmother of the Chang family.
What did he mean by asking her?
She was puzzled, but she still said seriously: "My mother is the second aunt and grandmother of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion. Since my mother married my father, she has lived a stable life and her children are filial, and she has lived quite well. As for coming to the capital, my mother asked me to come to a foreign house to recognize the door, probably because I thought that my generation would not move around, and I was afraid that the two families would not know who each other was when they met on the street, right? ”
The last few words, she said in a ridiculous tone, not only to make Chen Luo happy, but also to cover up her mother's intentions.
Chen Luo nodded seriously and said, "It's not too early, I think that the person in charge should also arrive, I will go back to Lumingxuan first." If there is anything in the future, I will ask Chen Yu to contact you again. You're going to rest early! ”
After speaking, he jumped down from the tree, raised the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, said "thank you", and disappeared into the bamboo forest without looking back.
And he just left?
Wang Xi didn't react for a long time, but when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but stomp his feet.
This Chen Luo, a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, if he wasn't more principled and had a bottom line, and helped her a few times, she wouldn't have bothered to care about his business?
But why exactly did he appear in the tree? Did you find out that she was the one who spied on him? Why did he suddenly talk to her about the secrets of the family, Wang Xi was still the second monk, and he was confused.
After washing, she turned over in bed for a long time before she gradually became sleepy.
Chen Luo couldn't sleep.
He let the small lamp used to get up at night in the inner room be extinguished, and he lay quietly on the bed under a thin quilt, with the fragrance of wormwood in his nose and the buzzing of all kinds of insects in his ears.
His mother is still like before, no matter how much trouble Chen Jue makes, she doesn't care about Chen Jue.
The peacemaker is Chen Sheng, the chief steward next to his father.
He not only watched his father Chen Yu grow up, but also used to be his grandfather's personal entourage, helping to take care of Chen Jue's mother's marriage to the Chen family. Chen Jue and Chen Ying both respect him. It is best for him to come forward to persuade Chen Jue.
It's just that a person like Chen Sheng is probably only his father can instruct.
I don't know what his father will do with this.
In the past, if Chen Jue dared to trouble him, he would unceremoniously and directly confront Chen Jue. will not only admit what he has done, but also pull the banner of his emperor's uncle to satirize Chen Jue, so that Chen Jue will run to his father to complain in a hurry and anger.
And what about his father? doesn't care who is right and who is wrong between their siblings, they only feel that he is doted on and connived by the emperor, and has developed a bullying and domineering and rude temperament.
If his mother didn't teach him, his father would reprimand him.
As for Chen Jue, his father always said that she was a girl, and when she left the cabinet in the future, she would be someone else's daughter-in-law and someone else's wife, and she would have to follow three rules and four virtues, and no matter how difficult it was to do what she wanted, he would not only give her exquisite jewelry and clothes as an apology, but also told Chen Jue apologetically behind his back that he and his mother should not marry an eldest princess and come back, and even let their sisters and brothers be angry, and they could not enjoy the care of their stepmother for a day, and they had to endure their stepmother everywhere.
Chen Jue was grateful to her father for her maintenance, but she hated his mother even more.
Naturally, his mother would have been more alienated and cold towards her stepdaughter, who was targeting her at every turn.
But this time, he expected Chen Jue to come to the house to make trouble, so he avoided it.
He was curious to know what his father would do this time. How are you going to end up?
Now it seems that his father is still doing the same thing, but it is not enough.
Thinking of this, Chen Luo's mind came to the figure of Wang Xi.
This little girl is really smart.
Although the seven emotions and six desires are written on the face, not only is it not annoying, but she also feels like a cunning cat, just to beg for food and drink in front of you, you see her cuteness, knowing that she is pretending, you still can't help but feed her.
Her temperament should be related to the pampering of the Wang family.
He remembered that the first time he heard about the second aunt and grandmother of Yongcheng Houfu was one summer, he was punished by his father to stand in front of the door of the study because he led Chen Jue into the water.
Several old servants of the Zhenguo Mansion were in front of the door of the study to remove mosquitoes.
Speaking of the marriage of the second aunt and grandmother of the Zhenguo Mansion, it was said that the Marquis of Yongcheng did not recognize her, and that she married into a merchant family without a name and a part...... Those people sighed, but they were all sympathetic and pitiful.
He thought he was miserable, but he didn't expect that there were people who were worse than him.
At that moment, he very much wanted to know what would happen to the second aunt and grandmother of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion in the future.
It was as if this would foretell him of the future.
He began to pay attention to the Marquis of Yongcheng Prefecture, intentionally or unintentionally.
But the second aunt and grandmother of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion have never found their in-laws, let alone use the Yongcheng Hou Mansion to do business in the capital.
I don't know if it's because the Wang family and the Marquis of Yongcheng can't get along, or if the Marquis of Yongcheng doesn't want to deal with the Wang family?
With the temperament of the old Marquis of Yongcheng, Chen Luo was more inclined to the Marquis of Yongcheng and was unwilling to deal with the Wang family.
If the Wang family marries such a daughter-in-law and goes home, will they feel that it is not cost-effective and embarrass the second aunt and grandmother of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion?
Until the old Yongcheng Marquis died of illness, Wang Xi appeared......
Chen Luo was quite surprised.
The Wang family is more backbone and more self-contained than he thought. Not only did he not feel that the second aunt and grandmother of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion were bad, but Wang Xi took the Yongcheng Hou Mansion and did not flatter anyone, it was completely a normal appearance of relatives.
He was relieved.
can't help but be a little biased towards this Miss Wang.
But this favoritism led to an accident.
Chen Luo smiled bitterly.
He just wanted to see if without him and Chen Jue facing Mai Mang, his father would treat them in a different way or way.
Who knew that when he met Wang Xi, who climbed their wall and took a clairvoyant mirror to peep at his house, he not only did not reprimand her, but also told Wang Xi about the bullshit at home in a very depressed mood.
Chen Luo thinks about it now, and he wants to give himself a few punches.
How could he say those words so easily?
