Shang Fangyan is the first heir of the Shang family, his identity and status are naturally incomparable to anyone in the Shang family, except for the old lady and Bai Yun who blatantly did not give Chu Qiao face, the others did not dare to offend Shang Fangyan easily.

Seeing that Shang Fangyan was so resolute in defending Chu Qiao from the old lady and Bai Yun, coupled with the gold collar that Chu Qiao was wearing around his neck, everyone naturally did not dare to slack off towards Chu Qiao, but everyone also understood that the old lady and Bai Yun were afraid that they would not easily accept Chu Qiao as the chief daughter-in-law of the Shang family, after all, everyone knew that He Yashi was the best candidate for the future head of the Shang family that the old lady and Bai Yun had cultivated for many years.

At the same time, everyone also vaguely understood in their hearts that Shang Fangyan was only the first heir of the Shang family, not the only one who could inherit the Shang family, the Shang family had many heirs, and all of them were elites, just like now, most of the Shang family's family business was still in charge of the second master of the Shang family.

Now, Shang Fangyan married a woman who no one agrees with against the will of the family elders, and Shang Fangyan has not been interested in inheriting the family business since he was a child, but has his own independent career, so everyone is speculating whether Shang Fangyan will take the initiative to give up inheriting the huge business empire of the Shang family.

However, even if Shang Fangyan takes the initiative to announce that he will give up inheriting the family business one day in the future, his identity and status are still there, and no one can take them lightly.

Shang Fangyan took Chu Qiao to take her to the courtyard that belonged to him after getting to know several elders of the Shang family, not only because he knew that Chu Qiao didn't like this kind of place where people had to be scrutinized everywhere, but even he himself never liked this kind of lively but false scene.

In the Shang family, there are not many simple-minded people.

The courtyard dedicated to Shang Fangyan is not large, but the layout in the courtyard is staggered, extremely elegant and unique.

Shang Fangyan took Chu Qiao's hand to the second floor of the main building of the courtyard, when the maid pushed the door open and Chu Qiao stepped into the room, she was attracted by the red sandalwood furniture and all kinds of furnishings in the room.

"This is my territory, and apart from a few servants who specialize in serving, no one will easily come in." As he spoke, Shang Fangyan looked sideways at Chu Qiao, and when he saw her slightly stunned appearance, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips lightly, and continued, "You have a good rest here first, no one will disturb you." ”

"What about you?" Chu Qiao came back to his senses in an instant and blurted out without thinking, completely unaware of the strong attachment in his tone and demeanor.

"Me?!" Shang Fangyan's eyebrows were lightly raised, and a flash of pleasure flashed in his clear eyes, "You want me to stay with you?" ”

Seeing the light that flashed in Shang Fangyan's eyebrows, which was different from usual, as if he was happy and teasing, Chu Qiao lowered his head suddenly, and dyed his sideburns red with a touch of crimson.

"You go get busy, I'll just stay here."

After a short loss of control of his brain, Chu Qiao's sanity quickly returned, Shang Fangyan was currently the highest-ranking man in the Shang family, and today was his grandmother's eightieth birthday, how could she selfishly leave Shang Fangyan alone with her and leave all the guests alone.

Moreover, even if she nodded and said "yes", Shang Fangyan might not stay with her, why did she bother to give her monk Fang Yan a problem, today Shang Fangyan's affirmation and care for her in front of everyone has made her grateful, she really doesn't dare to ask for anything more.

Shang Fangyan looked at Chu Qiao, who lowered his head, and couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, he knew that she was duplicitous, and was about to stop teasing Chu Qiao and tell him that he would stay with her when Chen Dong walked in.

"Sir, the old lady has sent someone to invite you over."

The old lady personally sent someone to invite Shang Fangyan, and Shang Fangyan naturally wouldn't ignore it, so when she got to her lips, she swallowed back what she was going to say to Chu Qiao, bowed her head slightly, but said to Chu Qiao, "You rest here first, and let Xiao Chen inform me if there is anything." ”

Chu Qiao smiled brightly, "Okay, I will." ”

......

After Shang Fangyan left, Chu Qiao walked around the room, and then casually took a book from the bookshelf, it was a military book, and it was a military book of some years, and there were annotations left by Shang Fangyan with a pencil on the book, although the traces were a little faint, but it could still be seen clearly.

Chu Qiao was not excited about the book of soldiers, but because it was a book that Shang Fangyan had read, and there were annotations left by him on it, she was interested for a while.

Holding the book and sitting down in front of the concubine who was covered with a woolen blanket, he casually took the tea cup on the coffee table next to him, and just put the tea cup to his lips, Chu Qiao smelled the strong fragrance of high-grade Biluochun.

She doesn't like to drink strong tea, although she thinks it smells good.

"Miss Chu Qiao, if you don't like Biluochun, I'll go and change it for you." The little girl who was waiting on the side saw Chu Qiao putting the teacup to her lips but not drinking it, so she immediately asked with interest.

Chu Qiao looked away from the master of the soldier and cast his eyes in the direction where the voice came from, and then he noticed that there was still a person standing next to him, a petite and delicate girl who was at most in her twenties.

"What's your name?" Chu Qiao put down the tea cup in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Everyone calls me Xiaoye." Xiao Ye replied respectfully, there are many rules for errands in the Shang family, one of which is that the servants are not allowed to look up at the master's family at will, however, Xiao Ye raised her head this time and kept looking at Chu Qiao, because she felt that Chu Qiao and the wives of the Shang family were different, and it was no wonder that all the servants here were not allowed to call Chu Qiao "Young Lady", at most they could only call her "Miss Chu Qiao" politely.

Chu Qiao smiled and nodded, "Can you give me a glass of boiled water?" ”

Xiao Ye nodded, "Okay, I'll go get it for you." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Ye removed Biluochun from the coffee table in front of Chu Qiao, and then exited the room.

Chu Qiao looked at Xiao Ye's respectful and humble posture, his eyes couldn't help but dim slightly, in the eyes of Shang Fangyan's grandmother and mother, she was afraid that her background was not even as good as that of the Shang family's servants.

Since ancient times, men and women have paid attention to the right person in marriage, not to mention that Shang Fangyan is in a big family like the Shang family, his marriage smoke is even more intolerable for him to be sloppy, she really doesn't understand, why Shang Fangyan is under such great family pressure and even does not hesitate to oppose his grandmother and mother to choose her as his wife, although he and her are only a one-year contract couple, but he really doesn't need to choose a woman like her who has such a bad birth experience.

However, Shang Fangyan not only chose her to be his contract wife, but also cared for her everywhere, gave her money, gave her dignity, gave her status, and gave her a worry-free life.

Shang Fangyan, why did he choose her and be so good to her?

While thinking about it, a young and pleasant voice sounded, "Xiao Qiao, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

Chu Qiao suddenly pulled back his thoughts, looked at Shang Fangxu in front of him in a suit and bow tie, smiled brightly, and beckoned Shang Fangxu to sit down next to him.

Shang Fangxu obediently walked to the concubine and sat down next to Chu Qiao, tilted his head and asked, "Is it that great-grandmother and grandmother don't like you, so you are unhappy?" ”

Chu Qiao grabbed Shang Fangxu's small shoulder, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Shang Fangxu pursed the corners of his lips and said with a righteous face, "It doesn't matter if great-grandmother and grandmother really don't like you, it's good that my father and I like you." ”

Chu Qiao smiled highly, "Yes, so I'm not unhappy." ”

Shang Fangxu nodded "um", and said with a very large expression, "Then I can rest assured." ”

Chu Qiao smiled amusedly and asked, "Did you come to see me because you were afraid that I would be unhappy?" ”

"Daddy asked me to come, but..."Shang Fangxu raised his eyebrows and said with a smug expression, "You don't want to prepare a gift for your great-grandmother, I'll take you there now." ”

Listening to Shang Fangxu's words, the smile on Chu Qiao's face disappeared instantly, and he became a little worried.

"Your great-grandmother doesn't like me so much, if she knew that I prepared it, wouldn't I be in trouble with the others?"

"Don't worry, I won't let my great-grandmother and grandmother know."
