Sima Chao returned from duty and hurried towards Wangchun Hall.

Wang Jia waited by the road for an afternoon, and saw Sima from a distance striding over, the rabbit in her heart was chaotic, and she quickly straightened her clothes, pulled her hair in a bun, and fiddled with the flowers on the tree in her hands, but the corner of her eyes was a tight glance at the person she had been waiting for.

As Sima Chao approached, Wang Jia's heart also "fluttered" and jumped harder and harder, but Sima Chao didn't squint, and he didn't notice her until he walked by.

Wang Jia's heart suddenly cooled.

"Cousin---" she pouted, and finally couldn't hold back her call.

Sima Chao found that there was a big living person on the side of the road, he stopped, and when he saw that it was Wang Jia, his face gradually darkened.

Wang Jia hesitated forward, smiled at Sima Chao, and said softly, "I've seen my cousin." ”

Sima Chao nodded slightly, in response.

For this cousin from the mother's family, Sima Chao originally took her as a little sister to see, and he also had a little bit of protection in his heart, but since the Wang family approached him yesterday and said that he wanted to give Wang Jia to him as his wife, Sima Chao was inexplicably disgusted with this cousin.

Wang Jia saw Sima Chao's faint expression, she couldn't help but feel lost in her heart, but she didn't want to give up, Wang Jia forced a smile and greeted Sima Chao: "Cousin, are you going to find Sister Luo?" I just picked flowers here, and I saw that Sister Luo had just returned. ”

Sima Chao heard him mention Love, and then he opened his eyes and glanced at her, and he couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Wang Jia wearing plain clothes like Love.

The plain clothes were worn on Love's body, looking like a hibiscus, like a fairy, worn on Wang Jia's body, but it looked indescribably awkward. In addition, Wang Jia has a black face, and he can cover up a thing or two with thick powder on weekdays, and now he is learning from Love without powder, which is unbearable.

In short, she's too far behind Love in any way, huh! is to marry a wife, and he must marry at least someone who is pleasing to the eye.

Sima Chao didn't answer Wang Jia, only glanced at her lightly and strode towards Wangchun Hall again.

Love was making embroidery, and when she saw Sima Chao coming back, she didn't even raise her head, but only said casually: "You came back early today." ”

Sima Chao said "um", then sat down beside Love, and he asked: "The day before yesterday, Zhou Shang, the little son of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, went up the mountain to hunt and disappeared, and the Criminal Department did not find out the clue, this morning His Majesty ordered me to take someone to the scene to investigate."

Love asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

Sima Chao replied: "I only found some bloody clothes that had been torn by wild beasts at the bottom of the cliff, and it looked like I had been attacked by wild beasts after accidentally falling off the cliff. ”

Love nodded, "It's a pity. ”

Sima Chao frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "That little son of the Zhou family has extraordinary martial arts, how did he fall off the cliff, this matter is a little strange." ”

Love hurriedly said: "Or he was attacked by a fierce beast during the hunt and forced him to fall off the cliff, in short, it was an accident, these things should be investigated by the Criminal Department, since they can't find anything, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Sima Chao didn't mention this matter when he heard this, he took the embroidery she was doing, he looked at the lifelike flowers and plants, and said with a smile: "The embroidery is really good, but what do you do embroidering these things every day?" I've never seen you use it. ”

When Love saw him ask about this, she was shocked, and hurriedly covered it up: "I have nothing to do when I am idle, I just embroider to pass the time." ”

Sima Chao put down the embroidery, looked at Love and said with a smile: "Since you are so good at being a girl, how about making me a sachet?" Put some wormwood in it, and now that it's summer, I can put on mosquito proof. ”

Love said perfunctorily, "I'll make it for you when I've found a trick." ”

As she spoke, she said to Sima Chao: "I met that Rou Ji in the garden today. ”

When Sima Chao heard Luo Fu mention this, the smile on his face faded, and he replied: "Okay, it's okay to mention her, but she is just a concubine, and it is not worth taking to heart." ”

Isn't Ji Nu human?

Thinking of Sima Chao's ruthless abandonment after using others in order to be angry with her, Love only felt cold.

She glanced at Sima Chao and said slowly: "That Rou Ji is also a poor person, she is weak, but she was sent to the garden by the steward to do rough work, she has been tortured to the point that she is not human, you should be merciful and forgive her." ”

Sima Chao said: "She is untrustworthy and separates you and me, how can I forgive her?" I didn't want her life, it's already a net open. ”

Love retorted, "If you and I are really inseparable, how can others provoke it? It's a pity that you and I have a dislike in our hearts, even if we don't have that girl, there is also a rift, so why should you be angry with others. ”

When Sima Chao heard this, he lowered his face, frowned and stared at Love, and asked: "How can there be a rift between us, I have always been honest with you, but you are cold-hearted, and you have always wanted to be awkward with me." ”

When Love saw that he was angry again, she simply kept her mouth shut.

It's not that Love is afraid of him, it's that Love thinks it's boring for the two of them to argue like this.

Sima Chao is not a person like Zhou Shang, it is impossible for him to make sacrifices for himself. It is impossible for her to follow in the footsteps of her previous life, commit herself to the side room he has been doing for a lifetime, and live that kind of life without dignity and autonomy.

The two of them are not destined to be each other's beloved.

Love no longer argued with Sima Chao, she picked up the embroidery, and continued to work on it without distraction.

In fact, Sima Chao would rather have Love quarrel with him, and he didn't want to see her so indifferent.

Her appearance of turning him thousands of miles away always made Sima Chao feel flustered.

"Well, then, as you say, forgive that Rouhime." Sima Chao was silent for a while, and finally glanced at Love's face and spoke.

"Is that okay?" Seeing that Luo Fu still didn't care, Sima Chao couldn't bear to ask again.

Love nodded, she thought about what Rou Ji asked for today, and said, "She wants to be a female envoy in the mansion, this is not a luxury. ”

Sima Chao nodded, and immediately ordered someone to call in charge.

After a while, the housekeeper of the inner courtyard walked in and asked respectfully, "What do you command?" ”

Sima Chao instructed: "Change that Rou Ji to an errand and let her be a female envoy." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Love, who was immersed in his own show, and said in a relaxed tone, "Is it okay this time?" ”

Seeing that Luo Fu still ignored it, Sima Chao cleared his throat and said: "That Rou Ji is a good woman, she should be damned, it is the lady who is kind-hearted, and she pleads for her, and you can give her a good job." ”

Seeing this, she hurriedly said to Love: "Mrs. Luo is beautiful and kind, she is really a rare good master. The old body thanked Mrs. for her great kindness. ”

Love still didn't pay attention, Sima Chao glanced at the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law respectfully retreated.

There were only two people left in the room, and the silent and depressing atmosphere made Sima Chao feel very unsteady, he walked to the table and drank a cup of tea, poured another one and served it to Love, and tried to speak softly: "Don't patronize that thing, drink some tea and rest." ”

Love was silent, and did not reach for his tea.

Sima Chao embarrassedly put the teacup on the table beside Love, and he rubbed his hands a little helplessly, and finally blessed his soul.

He looked at Love, and said with a hint of flattery: "The second sister is about to enter the palace, and the family will go to the family temple to worship the ancestors the day after tomorrow, do you want to go with ......?"

Without waiting for Sima Chao to finish speaking, Love raised his head and replied, "I'm going." ”
