Chu Liangrao subconsciously moved closer to Huo Tainan and nodded cautiously.

And the 'woman' who behaved differently screamed twice, and then 'revealed' a suspicious and 'confused' look, and then knelt on the futon and chanted something.

"Let's go." Huo Tainan urged again.

Chu Liangrao didn't delay any longer, and left the temple with Huo Tainan.

Just as they were leaving, a tear rolled out of the eyes of the 'woman' who worshiped the Buddha, smashed into the futon and disappeared.

Along the way, Chu Liangrao was very quiet, not chirping like before, and she didn't know what was wrong with her, as if she had missed something by leaving like this.

Seeing her like this, Huo Tainan didn't bother, just quietly accompanied her.

There was no delay on the way, and in a blink of an eye the carriage arrived in front of the mansion.

Seeing that the front of the main 'gate' of Tingruo City in the past has been deserted today, Chu Liangrao got out of the car and said to Huo Tainan: "It's really rare to be so idle." ”

I thought that I could steal half a day of leisure and make tea in the bamboo house to practice calligraphy, but it backfired.

Before he sat down and drank a glass of water, someone came to spread the word, saying that Mrs. Cao had brought her eldest daughter-in-law to visit.

Now that the prime minister has not fallen, and Huo Tainan is inconvenient to receive the 'female' dependents, Chu Liangrao can't slack off, and after instructing Mother Du to invite people to the hall, she changed her clothes and came out to meet the guests.

After a word of communication, Mrs. Cao stood up and saluted with a smile: "I have seen the county lord." ”

Chen Yue'er, who was following her, pouted, but still followed suit.

Chu Liangrao sat down and let them dry for a while, then opened her mouth gently: "No need to be polite, sit down." ”

"Lord Xie." Mrs. Cao did not complain, straightened up, and gave her eldest daughter-in-law a look.

Chen Yue'er understood, although she was reluctant, she still saluted and said, "Thank you, the county lord." ”

Chu Liangrao's eyes swept over Chen Yue'er lightly, and she saw that although she now had a big belly, her face was thin, and there was a bit of anger between her eyebrows, which was not at all like the demeanor that a pregnant woman should have.

After a brief glance, Chu Liangrao withdrew her gaze.

And Chen Yue'er looked at Chu Liangrao silently, only to see that she was wearing a lake blue 'color' embroidered 'flower' jacket, her hands were 'crossed' and placed flat on the protruding lower abdomen, her face was peaceful, and her appearance was good, which made people forget about it.

With the elegant clothes, the decoration on Chu Liangrao's head is also very simple, and only the beads and hairpins that have been embellished in the black hair are more and more delicate and lovely.

On the other hand, Chen Yue'er smeared layer after layer of rouge gouache on her face, wore a lot of pearls and emeralds on her head, and wore a ringing ring when she walked, and she didn't know how much jewelry she wore on her hands.

On the other hand, Mrs. Cao is much more low-key, she combs her round bun and only uses a gold hairpin ring to fix it, looking very graceful.

The three of them looked at each other, and Mrs. Cao opened her mouth first to break the deadlock, she said with a smile: "The county lord looks like it is not light this month, but it is not much different from my daughter-in-law here." As she spoke, she raised her eyes to look at Chen Yue'er, "This is really a coincidence. ”

was glanced at by her mother-in-law, Chen Yue'er felt a little irritable in her heart, she still remembered Mrs. Cao's words before going out, but she was not happy to let her bow her head.

Chen Yue'er pouted and didn't speak, Mrs. Cao sighed secretly, so she had to open her mouth: "Although my daughter-in-law has a poor spleen, her heart is excellent, and she unintentionally collided with the county lord before, and she has always been reluctant to go in her heart, so she specially came to visit the county lord." ”

Knowing their intentions, Chu Liangrao smiled faintly and said, "The matter is over, why care." ”

Seeing that Chu Liangrao said calmly, it didn't seem to be a fake, the stone in Mrs. Cao's heart was lowered a little, and her eyebrows and eyes were stretched.

Just when she was about to mention the right thing, Chen Yue'er on the side opened her mouth: "County Lord, in the temple that day, everyone knows what is right and wrong, since you don't want to say it clearly, then I won't care about it anymore." ”

In this way, it seems that she tolerated Chu Liangrao's sins.

Mrs. Cao's face changed, and she shouted in a low voice: "'Bastard' account, in front of the county lord, what nonsense are you talking about?" Saying that, she looked at Chu Liangrao apologetically, "I spoiled her, and as a result, her bad habits in her mother's family were also brought out, and there were a lot of county lords, so I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

At this time, Chu Liangrao had no interest in responding, and only looked at her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Cao felt even more embarrassed, she should have thought clearly, where is her daughter-in-law's temper so good, and how can she believe the guarantees she made in the house? At that moment, Mrs. Cao had the heart to let Chen Yue'er go back to the house first, so she said: "I'm not afraid of the county lord's jokes, my daughter-in-law's birth is not as stable as the county lord, and now it has been some time since she came out, but I'm afraid that she will also be uncomfortable, so I have to ask for a grace with a shy face and let her go home first." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Cao was going to drive herself away, Chen Yue'er sneered and said to Mrs. Cao: "Mother-in-law, no matter how you say that we are also here together, even if we want to leave, we are also together, how dare my daughter-in-law go first?" ”

actually didn't give Mrs. Cao face like this.

Mrs. Cao smiled bitterly, looking helpless.

Regarding the disharmony between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Chu Liangrao had no intention of 'interfering', and she didn't have the heart to say more to this pair of people with their own thoughts, so she said to Mrs. Cao: "Since this is the case, then the county lord will not keep you much, go back to the house earlier, and see the body." Saying that, she didn't give Mrs. Cao a chance to explain, and directly ordered, "Mother Zhou, send two of you." ”

If it is an ordinary family, it is mostly Mother Du and Lilac who send each other, and letting Mother Zhou send it is also Chu Liangrao's extra heart.

Mrs. Cao couldn't help but hold back the fire in her heart, and only felt that her daughter-in-law really couldn't handle things, so she had to leave immediately, and only asked to visit again in the future. It's just that I let go of this opportunity today, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to get along with the county lord alone.

Mother Zhou sent the two away, and came back and replied: "The county lord is really wise, this Chen Yue'er is frivolous, walks carelessly, does not take the right path, prefers to go to the side, and looks dishonest." ”

"I see." Chu Liangrao nodded slightly, and went to the bamboo house to talk to Huo Tainan about the matter.

Huo Tainan, who was in the bamboo house, heard the noise outside, so he greeted him and personally took Chu Liangrao in to sit.

After Chu Liangrao said it, he thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to take this matter to heart, as for the Cao family, it is not a big deal, but I am afraid that it will not be good for a few days." ”

The things in the inner courtyard are similar to those in the court, Huo Tainan can figure it out at once, and it is also habitual. Chu Liangrao said: "When I look at her today, I feel a little strange. Although he has a 'straight' belly, his cheeks are thin and his face is angry, not like a pregnant person. Huo Tainan's expression was slightly awe-inspired, and he asked, "Do you suspect that she is fake pregnant?" ”
