Chapter 230 It is also a good thing to add fragrance to the red sleeves
As soon as Chao Lu saw Chao Li return home and saw the confrontation between him and Chao Zhen, his face immediately became a little confused and he even loosened his grip on Die Yi.
"Master, what's wrong?" Dieyi asked softly.
Hearing this, Chao Lu tightened his grip on Die Yi's hand and showed a somewhat stiff smile.
"Ah Li returned home today, why didn't you tell me earlier so that I could order the palace to prepare for you." Chao Lu introduced to Die Yi again, "Die Yi, this is my eldest daughter Chao Li, who is now in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
The Crown Princess."
When Chao Li's identity was mentioned, Chao Lu couldn't hold back the pride on his face, as if he was proud of himself.
Dieyi immediately let go of Chaolu's hand and gently said, "I've met the imperial concubine."
"No need to be polite, father, who is this?" Chaoli looked at Chaolv.
Before Chao Lu could answer, Chao Zhen, who fell silent after seeing Chao Li, immediately came to her senses and answered at the top of her lungs.
"Sister, you came back just in time today. Father really gave us a great gift. At first he said that only my aunt and the three of them were enough in this life, but now he secretly hid a woman of unknown origin in the house. The woman knew it at a glance
It's not a good thing, otherwise why would you be willing to hide in the yard and not show up? My wife just reconciled with my father not long ago, and my father found another woman so quickly, can you bear it?" Chaozhen sneered.
Chao Lu looked a little ugly. He didn't expect Chao Zhen to be so ruthless and expose him in front of Chao Li.
You know, Chaoli defends Fang Huimin very much. If she says this, Chaoli will probably be angry.
In less than a month, Heli and his wife quickly found a woman and secretly hid in a side courtyard of the mansion, which was really a bit much.
I thought that today there are treasures from the court, so the law of the court has no scruples.
Who would have thought that Chaoli would return home at this time!
"That's not the case. The imperial concubine didn't know something. It was the master who saved me." Dieyi quickly defended Chaolu.
Chaozhen snorted coldly, "What is the truth? Only you know in your heart that you are not clinging to my father to repay the favor of saving your life. You obviously have an agenda."
For a woman in her twenties to fall in love with a man in his late thirties, there is absolutely no way this is love.
"Ali, don't listen to Zhen'er's nonsense. Dieyi is a hard-working person. I helped her, so she followed me in the house because she had nowhere to go. And she also sincerely admires me. In addition, she is talented and full of food.
After reading poetry and books, I decided to take her as my concubine today." Chao Lu explained.
That being said, this explanation is a bit pale, because not a single word Chaozhen said was wrong.
Chaoli nodded slightly, "I understand what father means, but this is his own business. He is our elder. What's more, I am a married daughter, so I naturally have no reason to obstruct my father."
Originally, Chao Lu had been prepared, thinking that Chao Li would speak out against him for Fang Huimin. After all, what Chao Zhen said was true, and Fang Huimin had just reconciled with him not long ago.
As long as he respects his legitimate wife enough, whether he takes a wife or takes a concubine, it should be three months later.
But I never thought that Chaoli was not unhappy at all.
For a moment, Chao Lu felt a rare feeling of guilt towards Chao Li in his heart. Perhaps in the past, he had been too contemptuous of this daughter and had not carefully understood Chao Li's personality.
When something really happened, Chaoli was the only one on his side. Even Chaozhen, whom he always doted on, didn't think about him. But in fact, his concubine had nothing to do with Chaozhen.
The more he thought about it, the more Chaolv became dissatisfied with Chaozhen.
"Sister, you actually think so? Don't you feel aggrieved for Madam?" Chaozhen asked in disbelief.
Chaoli smiled slightly, "The second aunt is in charge of the family. She must not have cared enough about my father in the past. The third aunt is soft-tempered and can't talk to my father. If there is an aunt who can always be by my father's side, even if my father is dealing with the criminal department at night
Complex things can also be a lot of relief, and red sleeves adding fragrance are also a beautiful thing."
After hearing this, Chao Lu felt very happy.
Sure enough, it was his eldest daughter who cared and loved her the most, and no matter how much he doted on her, she never stood by him and thought about him.
"Did you hear what your eldest sister said, Zhen'er, you really disappoint me." Chao Lu was a little carried away by Chao Li's words.
Chao Zhen looked at Chao Li angrily, "Sister, it's really not a pain in the back to stand and talk. You are married now, so naturally you don't need to care about these things in the house. We are the only ones who need to care."
So what if Fang Huimin and Li divorced, now Chaoli is no longer from the Chao Mansion, she is from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion!
At this moment, Mrs. Li walked over, surrounded by several maids, and not far behind her were Mrs. Yang and Chao Wan.
"What happened?" Ms. Li asked as she walked, her eyes inadvertently falling on the intertwined hands of Chao Lu and Die Yi, her face full of shock, "Master, what are you doing?"
Chao Lu felt a little guilty when he saw Li Shi looking at his hand, but Die Yi beside him seemed to be frightened by Li Shi's gaze, and leaned against him involuntarily, obviously very nervous.
His woman is so scared. As a man, he should support her. He shouldn't be like this.
Besides, I have already made preparations today, so there is no need to be afraid. Fan is the one who is truly in charge of the government.
In Chao Li's words of always thinking about him and Die Yi's admiring look, Chao Lu felt that it was time for him to stand up. After all, it was because of him that the current imperial palace was possible.
"I called you two here today to tell you that this is Dieyi, and she is also the fourth concubine of my court." Chao Lu said.
Yang didn't react, but Li screamed.
"Master, what are you talking about? Do you want to take a concubine? I don't agree, I absolutely don't agree with this woman entering the house!" Mrs. Li walked quickly to Chao Lu, her eyes full of tears, "Didn't you say that Mrs. Yang is you?
The last aunt, there will never be another aunt in the future. You still have to wait until the right opportunity to divorce Fang Huimin and make me your wife, but now you are treating me like this!"
Chao Lu's expression changed. He didn't expect that Li would say what he said without any concealment.
It would be okay if she just said it in the house, but now that Chaoli is still here, she actually said that!
"Nonsense! When did I say these words to you? Don't slander me." Chao Lu naturally wouldn't admit it, and then quickly looked at Chao Li, "A Li, don't misunderstand me. I didn't say that.
However, I just don't care enough about your mother to have the thought of divorcing my wife."
Chaoli has long known Chaolv's temperament. Anyway, Fang Huimin has reconciled with him now. She will not be angry because of these words.
Li said this just because he wanted to drag Chaoli into trouble and let Chaoli stop Chaolv from taking concubines.
