Pei Liu opened up his heart to Chen Xiuyan, and also told about his worst moments. Chen Xiuyan was a little moved when he heard it, but more of it was powerless, because the way Pei Liu looked at him now was probably because he wanted to know his little secret.

"Ahem, Luo Wenqian and I were the ones who got married because I took the initiative." Chen Xiuyan looked away uncomfortably and said.

Chen Xiuyan's words successfully shocked Pei Liu, "Take the initiative?"

"At that time, I was forced to be a concubine. At that time, my mother-in-law reached a consensus with others and stabbed me in the back in order to let my son go to a good school." Chen Xiuyan said helplessly, "Luo Wenqian had not yet married a wife at that age.

, because he has a reputation of being a nuisance, and others are afraid of marrying him."

"Of course I'm not afraid. I saved him before and asked him to pledge my life to me. To be honest, if I hadn't saved his life, he wouldn't have been lucky enough to marry a wife. Speaking of which, he would have met all of me.

It’s a blessing.”

"Hahaha." Pei Liu laughed like crazy when he heard this.

Once Gu Tan was worried, the relationship between people became closer. The two confided their feelings to each other, and they didn't notice that time passed quickly. It was Pei Liu's maid who came in to inform them that they were interrupted. By this time, the sky was already dark.

Chen Xiuyan returned to Taifu's Mansion in the carriage of Yong'an Marquis Mansion. The two maids, Zhishu and Zhihua, had been looking at the concierge for a long time. When they saw Chen Xiuyan coming back, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Pei Liu." Zhi Shu and Zhi Hua knew the treasures of countless wealthy families in the capital. They recognized her at once and greeted her with a smile.

"Slow down. Someone is protecting you secretly, so I can rest assured." Chen Xiuyan's words surprised Pei Liu. The secret guard was the third prince's. Since he was kidnapped in Yijiang County, the third prince had dialed two numbers.

She was protecting herself secretly, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Chen Xiuyan.

"After all, my senses are sharp. I can feel it, but I can't determine the position. I guess I am a master." Chen Xiuyan explained, waved at Pei Liu and left.

As expected, Pei Liu was not an ordinary person. He looked at Chen Xiuyan's back and smiled.

"Humph, if you don't come back so late, you are trying to make me, an old man, starve."

Chen Xiuyan arrived at the main courtyard of the backyard. In the main hall, Mr. Tao was crossing his legs and blowing his beard and glaring at Chen Xiuyan who had just entered.

"I brought Mr. Tao the millet and sea cucumber porridge from Tianxianglou, as well as steamed dried sole and dried soft fish with fried green onions." Chen Xiuyan lifted the food box she was carrying to show it.

Mr. Tao, who was originally dissatisfied, suddenly changed his expression, "I just said that it makes sense for you to come late, Xiao Yanyan. There is no apprentice wife who is more considerate than you."

Chen Xiuyan just wanted to laugh, helped prepare the food, had dinner with Mr. Tao, and waited until he finished eating before going back to his room to rest.

The post from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion has been placed in her room, and the housewife personally reported, "Young Mistress, I have already reported this matter to the master. I have arranged for the embroiderer to make clothes and shoes for Young Mistress, and the jewelry will be available in a few days.

It will be delivered.”

Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised, "So grand?"

"It's time for Chunwei's results to come out by then." Aunt Fang's words made Chen Xiuyan understand clearly, and she also understood their confidence in Luo Wenqian, no, their confidence in Mr. Tao.

Chen Xiuyan didn't go out for the next few days. With the suspicion of buying jewelry that day, she knew that the capital was a place with distinct classes. The so-called person who hit a plaque might be an official. The capital was such a place.

Chen Xiuyan doesn't have the qualifications to travel freely now. It's okay to borrow Mr. Tao's identity once, but using it more than once will bring trouble to Mr. Tao.

"I'm going to Fayan Temple outside the city. Do you want to go with me?" Mr. Tao couldn't bear to see Chen Xiuyan staying at home bored every day. "I'm going to play chess with an old friend. You can go and hang out.

Fayan Temple is a royal temple with a large scale and beautiful scenery. Wen Qian and the others are taking exams just now, so you can go and try to get a good result."

Chen Xiuyan thought about it and agreed.

This time, Zhishu and Zhihua went out together. Qian Dongliang was responsible for driving. After Luo Wenqian entered the examination room, Qian Dongliang didn't go out much. Chen Xiuyan planned to let him go out too, to see more and know the way.

As a royal temple, Famen Temple is not only accessible to members of the royal family, but the royal family believes in Buddhism and was built to promote Buddhism and for the general public. Therefore, Famen Temple is prosperous and crowded.

Chen Xiuyan saw the Buddhist temple halfway up the mountain. The people going up the mountain stretched from the foot of the mountain to the mountain. Fortunately, they took carriages up the back mountain and sat all the way to the side entrance of Famen Temple.

"Master Taifu." Chen Xiuyan followed Mr. Tao out of the car. There was a monk waiting at the side door. "The prince consort is already in the wing. The poor monk will lead Master Taifu over."

"Well." Mr. Tao replied to the monk's words and began to chatter to Chen Xiuyan, "You come with me to meet that old friend first and get a meeting gift. I specially told him before, I think it will be worth some money."

Chen Xiuyan's lips curled up as she listened. She liked valuable things, but she couldn't be too superficial, so she took some.

Mr. Tao was a little amused when he saw it.

"Then you go to the temple for a stroll, and we have a vegetarian meal before going back." Mr. Tao said with some aftertaste, "The most famous thing about Famen Temple in my impression is the vegetarian meal, which is very good."

Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows in surprise. To receive such praise from Mr. Tao, she was looking forward to the vegetarian meal.

"It's up to you." Chen Xiuyan agreed.

It took a full quarter of an hour to walk from the side door to the wing at the back, and it took another half-quarter of an hour to arrive. It was said to be a wing, but seeing someone guarding it, it seemed that the entire courtyard was included.

"Chongming." Mr. Tao shouted loudly, and the door of the main room opened from the inside, and an old man with white hair and beard came out. He looked about the same age as Mr. Tao, but his face was rosy, and he looked very healthy.

of.

"Shu Ming, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you finally returned to Beijing." The old man smiled and came out and hugged Mr. Tao.

"Stay away. How old are you? You are not stable at all." Mr. Tao rolled his eyes and said, "I will introduce you to my apprentice's wife."

"Oh, this is the little Yanyan you told me about in your letter, who cured your old illness and allowed you to eat seafood again, right?"

Chen Xiuyan's mouth twitched. She really didn't like the name Xiaoyanyan.

"Great Prince Consort." Chen Xiuyan saluted respectfully and called.

"Hey, since you are Shu Ming's disciple-in-law, just call me Grandpa Yuan." Yuan Chongming said with a smile, "You are a person with outstanding appearance. I specially selected good jewelry to match you."

After entering the room, Yuan Chongming handed a box on the table directly to Chen Xiuyan. Chen Xiuyan's hand sank. The box was heavy. She smiled and thanked her again, and then let the two old people play chess by themselves.

Box Chen Xiuyan went to the room where she arranged to rest and put the box directly into the space. There is no safety anywhere.
