In front of so many people, including the person in charge of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, crying so miserably, and coupled with the humiliation given by Mu Jingzhou just now, the Marquis of Chengyang really couldn't sit still.
His face sank, but he didn't want to interfere in the conversation between the female family members, so he only glanced at Zhou's mother to hint that she would handle it well.
Mother Zhou quickly stretched out her hand to help Chen Anhao: "Anhao, that's not what I meant. We will talk about these things later. Mr. Chitose is still here."
She said to Chen Anhao, with a completely suggestive look.
I want Chen Anhao not to cause trouble and make everyone look bad, and to bear with it if I feel a little wronged.
Chen Anhao wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief. Because she had cried, there were still some water drops on her long eyelashes.
"Daughter-in-law, I know." She responded in a low voice, acting extremely well-behaved, and stood aside.
She managed to get away with it so easily and escaped Mu Jingzhou's taunting interrogations.
Mu Jingzhou's eyes fell on her, with great interest.
When Zhou Jingchuan saw this scene, he thought it was Chen Anhao's reaction that had offended him. Thinking of the previous punishment he received in Qiantose Mansion, he also knew that Mu Jingzhou was a ruthless person and was afraid that Chen Anhao would bring disaster to him.
He calmly walked over to Chen Anhao and whispered in her ear: "Serve tea to Mr. Chitose and apologize to him."
Chen Anhao squeezed the handkerchief tightly, pursed his lips and looked at Zhou Jingchuan.
Zhou Jingchuan didn't pay attention to the resistance in her eyes, and only continued: "Don't affect the future of the Hou Mansion."
His words were so straightforward that it was hard for Chen An to refuse, so she lowered her head and agreed.
The maid brought tea, and Chen Anhao walked to Mu Jingzhou with the teacup in both hands.
Mu Jingzhou raised his eyebrows, and the amusement in his eyes became more intense.
Chen Anhao didn't look at him, but bowed his head respectfully and raised the tea above his head: "Chitose-sama, please have some tea. I didn't mean to ignore Chitose-sama's question just now, and I ask for your forgiveness, Chitose-sama."
Her voice was delicate and soft, which sounded a bit sweet.
Mu Jingzhou accepted the tea, and Chen Anhao stood beside him and saluted.
After drinking the tea, Zhou Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Jingzhou did not stay with Chen Anhao anymore and only said: "This grandma from the Chengyang Marquis Mansion is really beautiful and fragrant, and her etiquette is also thorough. Uncle Zhou is really,
blessed."
Marquis Chengyang and Zhou Jingchuan agreed with a smile.
If other men said these words, they would definitely regard him as a slut.
But Mu Jingzhou was an eunuch, so they all took it as praising Zhou Jingchuan.
Chen Anhao heard it harshly. It was clearly mocking her, not praising Zhou Jingchuan.
But she could only pretend that she didn't understand and continue to leave.
When returning to the backyard, the daughter of the minister saw her coming out and came to her with a slight blush on her face: "Brother Zhou, I heard that although Jiu Qian is an eunuch, his appearance is difficult to compare with that of the civil and military officials of the dynasty.
Confrontation, is this serious?"
Women in the boudoir cannot go out or step out of the second door, so they can only hear rumors about the outside world from their family members and servants.
They have only heard of Mu Jingzhou, but have never seen it.
The daughter of a scholar is not the only one who is curious.
After hearing the question from the minister's daughter, the other women also came over to wait for Chen An to answer.
Chen Anhao glanced towards the hall. The wall separated her from Mu Jingzhou, preventing them from seeing each other at all.
Not to mention the conversation here, he can hear it.
She felt a little relieved. She knew their thoughts well and said to the women: "A man should stand upright, take care of the country's worries, and serve the king. Although nine thousand years old has a high and powerful position, he has no merit in carrying on the family line and has not done anything for the country.
Min, just a good-looking face is not a good match."
"You are born into a noble family and are of noble stature. I have a good match for you."
