"Xiangye and Mrs. really quarreled?"

"Is that fake?"

"How do you know?"

"Didn't you see that Xiangye and Mrs. Xiangye slept in separate rooms for several days?"

"Isn't that the same way it was before?"

"Then I don't know, that's what Sister Yue'e said anyway."

A few little maids under the corridor got together, chattering, and discussing.

In the past few days, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been immersed in haze.

Xiangye and Mrs. Xiang were a little sullen, so that they, who were waiting, didn't even dare to speak loudly.

When Yue'e came from afar, a few little maids immediately stopped talking to each other, bowed their heads and stood in a row under the corridor, Yue'e's little hands were on her waist, her steps were brisk, and she rushed from the bedroom to Xiangye's study.

What is it that deserves to be so happy with Sister Yue?

Knock knock!

Coming to the study, Yue'e reached out and knocked on the door.

Chen Chao's slightly tired voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Yue'e pushed the door and entered, and Fufu bowed: "Xiangye, Madame is invited." ”

With a bang, Chen Chao got up and reacted a little big.

But the next moment, Chen Chao sat down again, looked at Yue'e with a happy face, and waved his hand at her: "I still have some important things here, tell my wife, and I won't go." ”

Chen Chao really didn't have the face to see Song Qingwan now.

He also held the concept of monogamy in later generations, and always felt that it was his "cheating" that hurt Song Qingwan, although there was a reason for the incident at that time, but what he did was done, Chen Chao admitted.

Yue'e had long been prepared for rejection, but for the sake of the harmony between Xiangye and his wife, she stubbornly said: "Xiangye, Madame said, you must see Xiangye." ”

Chen Chao rubbed his forehead, raised his eyes, and tried to ask, "But what's the reason?" ”

Yue'e shook her head, she didn't know.

But it's not a bad thing.

After thinking about it, Yue'e said again: "Xiangye, Madame is thin-skinned, Xiangye should persuade more." ”

"Go on."

Chen Chao became interested and motioned for Yue'e to continue.

I forgot that the person who knows Song Qingwan best is definitely not her current self, but the maid in front of her who has been serving Song Qingwan, maybe she can find a breakthrough from Yue'e.

Yue'e frowned, thought about it, and tried to say:

"Although Mrs. is from a famous family and does not easily go out of the house to show her face, Mrs. has seen a lot since she was a child, and her heart is broader than that of ordinary men...... But Mrs. is a woman after all, she is thin-skinned and can't wipe her face, and Xiangye, as a man, should be persuaded more. ”

"Also, Madame generally doesn't get angry with Xiangye easily, unless Xiangye does something particularly out of the ordinary, but even then, Madame can endure it...... Xiangye should treat Mrs. well, Mrs. will always be Xiangye's original match! Wife's main room! ”

Chen Chao frowned and subconsciously asked, "Do you know?" ”

"What?"

Yue'e opened her eyes wide, pretending to be confused.

However, Chen Chao quickly figured it out, Yue'e, as Song Qingwan's personal maid, stayed by Song Qingwan's side since she was a child, how could she be a general unknown? It's no surprise that she knows.

Listening to Yue'e's words, Chen Chao understood a lot.

After a brief tidying up, he followed Yue'e to meet Song Qingwan.

When I came to the door of the bedroom, the door was half open, and Yue'e retreated.

In the room, Song Qingwan is still the same, but her eyes are red, and she has cried several times these days.

The guilt in Chen Chao's heart couldn't help but deepen a little.

Before Chen Chao could speak, Song Qingwan raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, smiled and took the initiative to step forward, and pulled Chen Chao to sit on the soft couch on one side.

Then, Song Qingwan knelt beside Chen Chao and carefully took off her boots for Chen Chao.

Chen Chao didn't understand why, "Madam......"

Song Qingwan lowered her voice, with a crying voice, and said:

"Don't speak, the slave family washes the feet of Xiangye, even if this matter is over, never mention it again. In the slave family, if the mother and father are angry, the mother will wash the father's feet, which means washing away the past. ”

After hearing this, Chen Chao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In Song Qingwan's stunned gaze, Chen Chao put on his boots again, picked up Song Qingwan horizontally, put it on the soft couch, held Song Qingwan's jade feet, and slowly took off a pair of embroidered shoes:

"If you want to wash, I will also wash my wife. After all, I did something wrong and broke my wife's heart. ”

When Song Qingwan heard this, she struggled non-stop:

"How can this work, Xiangye is the prime minister of Daji, the son of heaven and the father, how can he touch the dirty feet of the slave family......"

Chen Chao didn't think so, held a pair of jade feet in his arms, looked at Song Qingwan's watery eyes, and said softly:

"Why not? In my hometown, it is very common for men to wash women's feet, not to mention that it is my fault after all, I wash my wife's feet, if my wife can forgive me, it is worth my death. ”

When Chen Chao said this, he suddenly stopped talking.

Seeing that Song Qingwan was no longer moving, Chen Chao slowly squatted down, reached out and tested the temperature of the water in the basin, it was not hot or cold, the temperature was just right, and put Song Qingwan's pair of jade feet into the basin carefully, Chen Chao said:

"Madame, don't be in a hurry to forgive me, even if Madame forgives, I won't forgive myself......"

"Xiangye......" Song Qingwan's voice sounded a little aggrieved, her ruddy little lips curled, and tears flowed down, "The slave family is not an unreasonable woman, in Daji, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and the father is not only a mother and a woman, but also two concubines, not to mention Xiangye." A few days ago, the slave family was still thinking about whether to give the prime minister a few concubines, the niece of the slave uncle's family is good, and she looks like a flower......"

"Xiangye, you are a person who does great things, and your slave background is not too good, and sometimes you feel that you can't help Xiangye......"

Song Qingwan is crying, soft and weak, and lovable.

In the past, people in the capital said that Song Qingwan was a low marriage, because at that time Chen Chao was just a poor boy with no background, and his boudoir friends would laugh at Song Qingwan for being blind, how could he look at such a poor boy.

But as time went by, the poor boy at the beginning changed and climbed to the position of prime minister of Daji.

But Song Qingwan felt that she was no longer worthy of the position of the prime minister's wife.

She won't know anything.

He is not very smart and can't help Chen Chao.

"Qingwan, I don't allow you to say that about yourself." Chen Chao held Song Qingwan's little hand and looked her into the eyes: "In my heart, Qingwan is the best, and it is irreplaceable by other women......"

"Xiangye, a few days ago, the slave family didn't mean to make trouble with you, it's really, really ......"

Song Qingwan wanted to explain, but Chen Chao interrupted her: "I know, are you worried, worried about me?" ”

Song Qingwan let out a faint "um" and nodded heavily.

"The slave family is worried that once the East Window incident happens, there will be too many people involved, not only the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, but also the slave family's mother's family, as well as Qin Shangshu and Yan Shangshu, will be involved, and they will be so panicked for a while...... Other women are easy to say, if the husband likes it, the slave family will not say anything, and will treat her well, and she will be commensurate with sisters, these are not problems. ”

"But she is the Queen Mother, the Empress of the First Emperor, Your Majesty's nominal mother, Xiangye and her are really ......"

Song Qingwan can't describe this relationship in words.

It was such a shock.

Chen Chao gently rubbed Song Qingwan's jade feet, poured a handful of hot water, and said helplessly:

"It's happened, and it's useless to regret taking the medicine, but fortunately, few people know about it, and this matter can be hidden."

"In the future, what are you going to do?" Song Qingwan tried to ask.

"What else can I do? She is pregnant with a child, and she must not be able to continue living in the harem, so she has to find a way to get her out, but I told her that she will not leave the harem......"

"This matter, Xiangye will leave it to the slave family to handle it, and the slave family will enter the palace to persuade the queen mother." Song Qingwan thought about it for a while, and then suggested: "There is a Taoist temple ten miles away from the capital, called Baiyun Temple, where the scenery is excellent, and the mountains and rivers raise people, why don't you take the queen mother out to live with the reason of going out of the palace to pray for the country?" ”

"That's very good."

Song Qingwan continued: "I heard that the Empress Dowager Murong is a rare beauty, known as a talent, but she is pure and arrogant, and others are not at ease to take care of her slave family, why don't you take care of her in person, until Xiangye's child is born?" ”

"How so? Don't...... You are the wife of the prime minister, not a maid who serves people. ”

Chen Chao muttered a few words, saying that he did not agree with anything.

Song Qingwan waved her hand and said it didn't matter.

"The child in her belly is Xiangye's child, that is, the child of the slave family, Xiangye is willing to be taken care of by others?"

Chen Chao shook his head.

"Don't worry, Xiangye is concentrating on big things and state affairs outside. The affairs of the back house will be handed over to the slave family. ”

Chen Chao felt guilty again.

He's sorry Song Qingwan!

Deep chagrin.

After washing his feet and wiping them clean, Chen Chao picked up Song Qingwan and walked to the bed.

Song Qingwan subconsciously hugged Chen Chao's neck, not daring to look at it, but her breathing became tight.

"Qingwan, you treat me like this, I really don't know how to repay you."

Chen Chao felt that he had married the best woman in the world.

Song Qingwan buried her head in Chen Chao's arms, her heart was pounding, and her voice was too small to hear, "The slave family doesn't want to repay, I just wish Xiangye everything is well......"

"So ......" Chen Chao thought for a while, and said, "Don't let other women step on Madame's head, so let's do it, Madame will also give me a child as soon as possible, no, give birth to two ......"

Song Qingwan muttered in her mouth, her little face flushed, "Okay." ”

Soon, the lights were extinguished, and the room was plunged into darkness, and two heavy snorts were entangled with each other, and the violent crashing sound was terrifying, painful and happy to hear......
