Lunch was naturally eaten by Chu Qiao and Shang Fangyan alone in the courtyard, and after lunch, Shang Fangyan asked Chu Qiao to prepare a pair of flat-soled cloth shoes, and then pulled her and said that she was going to take him to the back mountain of the old mansion for a walk.

Chu Qiao had never worn such handmade cloth shoes. Although the cheongsam with cloth shoes seemed a bit strange to Chu Qiao, as long as she was comfortable with it, she couldn't care so much, it was much better than wearing high heels to make her feet suffer.

After following Shang Fangyan to the back mountain, Chu Qiao learned that the mountain behind the old house that Shang Fangyan said was actually a whole mountain that could not be seen, every place in the mountain was well taken care of, although there was some dampness on the steps, there was no moss, and the wooden pavilions and stones were everywhere, and you could sit down and rest everywhere when you were tired. Moreover, there were a few servants not far behind them, they were holding tea, snacks and cushions, and when Chu Qiao was tired, Shang Fangyan would beckon, and immediately a servant came up to spread wool cushions on the stone for Chu Qiao.

With such meticulous and intimate care, Chu Qiao's heart is always full of gratitude.

"Does Ah Yu really want to marry He Yashi?" Chu Qiao looked at Shang Fangyan, and the afternoon sun shone through the layers of tree shades on Shang Fangyan's short hair, creating a faint golden halo. It became more and more obvious that his face was clear, his eyebrows were deep, and his eyes were as bright as diamonds, scorching bright.

Shang Fangyan held Chu Qiao's hand in the palm of his hand and played with it, like a most cherished treasure.

Although Chu Qiao does housework every day, her hands are still smooth and delicate. It's like boneless, and there's no roughness at all.

"You know everything?" Shang Fangyan looked at Chu Qiao and asked.

Chu Qiao nodded, "Ah Zi told me." ”

Shang Fangyan's eyes narrowed slightly, he sighed inaudibly, and then looked at Chu Qiao, and said with a hint of helplessness in his low voice, "Chu Qiao, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but most of the Shang family's affairs are too complicated, and I don't want you to worry about any Shang family's affairs." ”

Chu Qiao looked at the heaviness and helplessness between Shang Fangyan's eyebrows, and his nose was sour inexplicably, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.

If you have a husband like this, why ask for anything else, it's just... Can time be a little slower, a little slower, so that she can feel the care and love of being held in the palm of her hand.

"Shang Fangyan. As long as you are willing to speak, I am willing to listen, I am willing to share with you, I am willing to bear with you, whether it is good or bad. ”

Shang Fangyan raised his lips lightly, raised his hand and gently lifted Chu Qiao, who was sitting next to him, on his lap and then hugged him into his arms.

"Okay, I'll tell you more about the Shang family in the future."

Chu Qiao lowered his head, and put his forehead against Shang Fangyan's forehead and said "um" gently, and his heart was moved.

"Ah Yu only proposed to his grandmother and mother yesterday to be with He Yashi, and his grandmother and mother did not agree."

"What about you?" Chu Qiao asked almost subconsciously.

"Of course I don't agree either."

"Why?" Chu Qiao subconsciously asked again, could it be that because He Yashi used to be Shang Fangyan's fiancée, Shang Fangyan didn't want Shang Yu to marry her.

Shang Fangyan smiled, raised his hand and gently lifted Chu Qiao's chin to make her lower eyes look down at herself slightly, and her eyes intersected, so that she could be honest enough.

"Do you want to know if I still have a broken relationship with He Yashi, or because she has always been in and out of the Shang family as my fiancée. So I don't want her to marry Yu?! Hmm~"

Smart, wise and considerate like Shang Fangyan, how could he not see Chu Qiao's thoughts, as long as she looked at her and made a movement, he could understand all her thoughts.

Now that it has been recognized. Of course, Chu Qiao could only nod obediently "um".

Shang Fangyan bowed his head lightly and said meaningfully, "It turns out that my wife is jealous?" ”

Chu Qiaoyi, is she jealous? How could she?

Shang Fangyan, you are too narcissistic.

Seeing the good-looking blush on Chu Qiao's face, Shang Fangyan smiled with satisfaction, stopped joking, and began to say seriously, "The reason why I don't agree with Ah Yu marrying He Yashi is just because of He Yashi, she is not a simple and upright woman, and Ah Yu likes to seek shortcuts when doing things, regardless of the consequences, and lacks thoughtfulness, I am afraid that He Yashi's marriage to Ah Yu will bring more trouble to Ah Yu and even the entire Shang family." ”

Hearing Shang Fangyan say this, Chu Qiao couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Shang Fangyan's understanding of people, as well as his foresight and magnanimity, are beyond her reach and even many people.

"What if Ah Yu really likes He Yashi?"

"If they really love each other and can stand the test of time, then I will naturally not object to it." Shang Fangyan glanced at Chu Qiao meaningfully before he said, "If something really happens in the future, I, the eldest brother, will naturally take care of him." ”

Chu Qiao kept looking at Shang Fangyan, and her understanding of his glance was meaningful.

He was saying that if he Shang Fangyan could break the marriage contract with He Yashi and marry her Chu Qiao in the face of the disapproval of the Shang family, then Shang Yu would naturally be able to marry He Yashi without following the wishes of the Shang family and him.

What he doesn't want, how can Shang Fangyan impose it on his younger brother.

......

When going down the mountain, Chu Qiao accidentally slipped and almost twisted his foot, Shang Fangyan checked Chu Qiao's bare feet, and although he was sure that she was fine, he still hugged Chu Qiao sideways without saying a word.

Chu Qiao knew Shang Fangyan's persistence and domineering, so he just obediently reached out and wrapped his arms around his neck, without making any fearless resistance.

When he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Chu Qiao heard the sound of laughter not far away, and looked for his reputation, only to find that it was the old lady who had also come to climb the mountain with a group of children and grandchildren.

"Grandmother is here, let me go." Chu Qiao shook his feet and said anxiously.

Shang Fangyan lowered his head and squinted at the person in his arms, in fact, he had already seen a group of people under the mountain, but what did it matter if he was just hugging his wife.

"Your feet are on crutches, stay in my arms, don't move."

"Shang Fangyan..."

Chu Qiao almost wanted to cry, Shang Fangyan, can you stop being so willful?

Seeing Chu Qiao's pitiful appearance of wanting to cry without tears, Shang Fangyan smiled with satisfaction, hugged Chu Qiao's arms and tightened again, and then continued to walk down the mountain slowly.

Chu Qiao buried his head in Shang Fangyan's arms, really thinking that he was an invisible person, and no one could see her.

However, things were not as rosy as she thought.

Listening to the laughter in his ears getting closer and closer, Chu Qiao's heart beat more and more, and he looked up at Shang Fangyan, but his face was still light and relaxed.

Chu Qiao simply gritted his teeth a little, let go of the hand that was holding Shang Fangyan's neck and pinched him fiercely on his arm.

Shang Fangyan frowned slightly, looked at the person in his arms and said softly, "Don't move, people are coming." ”

As he spoke, the hearty laughter stopped, and then the old lady's majestic and powerful voice sounded in his ears, "What's the matter, do you still have to carry such a big person down the mountain?" If you don't want to walk, don't go out. "The Giant Array Horn.

Chu Qiao suddenly looked sideways in the direction where the voice came from, and saw that the eyes of more than a dozen people all fell on her, and there was shock in their eyes and expressions, especially the old lady and Bai Yun, whose faces were gloomy.

Couldn't help it, Chu Qiao bit his lip, he didn't know what to do, he just whispered "Grandmother" and lowered his head, not daring to look directly into everyone's eyes.

In such a place as the old mansion of the Shang family, where there is a difference between the old and the young, the order, dignity and inferiority, she let Shang Fangyan carry her down the mountain all the time, which is undoubtedly a challenge to the family rules and majesty of the Shang family.

"Grandmother, Chu Qiao's foot was accidentally crutched, and he can't walk for the time being."

"Little Joe, are you on crutches? Does it matter? Shang Fangxu ran forward and asked worriedly.

Chu Qiao looked at Shang Fangxu and smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter." ”

"Since you don't care, you don't want to get down and walk by yourself." The old lady said even more unhappily, she had never seen a junior who knew how to restrain herself in front of her.

Chu Qiao was embarrassed by the old lady's words, looked at Shang Fangyan, and motioned for him to let her go with his eyes, but Shang Fangyan's arm did not let go at all, but hugged it tighter.

Chu Qiao didn't quite understand what Shang Fangyan wanted to do, but if he insisted, she would definitely cooperate with him and accompany him, no matter what the consequences would be for her.

"Grandmother, I accidentally turned my foot last time, and the doctor said that I must rest well and walk as little as possible, otherwise I will hurt my muscles and bones, and it will be very difficult to recover." Seeing Chu Qiao's embarrassment, Shang Zi on the side hurriedly relieved the siege.

He Yashi, who was standing behind, couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth coldly, and the hatred in her eyes was born, if Shang Fangyan could treat her to one ten-thousandth of Chu Qiao, then she would not rather become the laughing stock of everyone than marry Shang Yu, and from then on she began her nightmare and Shang Yu, a man she didn't love, for a lifetime.

Once a woman marries into the Shang family, unless she dies, even if she is rejected by her own man, she will not be able to leave the Shang family and be free.

So, Shang Fangyan, Chu Qiao, it was you who ruined my life's happiness and freedom, and you will pay the price one day.

The old lady and Bai Yun both glared at Shang Zi, and Shang Zi didn't dare to say more, so he immediately stopped talking.

"What is the servant behind you eating, do you have to hold it yourself?" The old lady was still very dissatisfied.

"No, my own wife, I can hold it myself."

With that, Shang Fangyan continued to walk down the mountain, and when he was about to reach the old lady, everyone except the old lady and Bai Yun automatically gave way to the way.

Shang Fangyan stopped, looked at the old lady and Bai Yun still had the same face and said, "Grandmother, mother, I'll take Chu Qiao down the mountain first, you guys have fun." ”

Chu Qiao lowered his head in Shang Fangyan's arms, not daring to look at the old lady and Bai Yun's faces at this time, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was completely free of the previous embarrassment.

The old lady squinted at Chu Qiao in Shang Fangyan's arms, and didn't say anything more, just took a breath and walked towards the mountain without squinting, only when she saw Shang Fangxu who had been staring at Shang Fangyan and Chu Qiao's backs, the old lady said again, "Xiao Xu, go with your great-grandmother." ”

Shang Fangxu immediately pursed his lips and smiled, took the old lady's hand and went up the mountain together, and then told the old lady jokes as he spoke.

Everyone followed the old lady's steps, not daring to say anything, but they had a different opinion in their hearts about Shang Fangyan, the new ruler of the Shang family.

Shang Fangyan's challenge to the old lady means challenging the family rules and family style of the entire Shang family, perhaps, starting from Shang Fangyan, the Shang family will really change.
