"It's okay," Chu Miao'er took a deep breath and said calmly, "Let's go, cousin. Maybe the people you should meet have already been met."
"You...what do you mean?" He Runjia smiled a little far-fetched, "Who would have known that such a big Dongling would meet him here? Cousin Miao'er is really kidding."
In the past few years of staying in the He Mansion, she had never seen He Runjia go to Ling'an Temple. She must have done too much and did not dare to appear in front of the Buddha. She was still wondering before, until she met Fang Yanru unexpectedly just now.
Only then did Chu Miaer understand why He Runjia invited her here so diligently. It turned out that he had already known who he would meet here.
"Cousin, I'm overthinking it. It's just the past. Besides," Chu Miao'er said with a faint smile, "we are old acquaintances after all, and we can't avoid seeing each other."
Next to him, He Runjia looked back and happened to meet Fang Yanru's eyes in the air. He saw him turning away in panic, while He Runjia showed a proud look: "This lady is the direct descendant of the Jing family.
Although Miss Jing Yiren is not as good as the Fang family, she is well-educated and sensible, and has a gentle temperament. The young master of the Fang family is gentle and courteous to others, so they are a good match."
The Jing family is a scholarly family in Dongling that has been passed down from generation to generation. Just because the fathers in the family are noble and do not like to be around others, they do not stand out in the family. Although the Jing family has never been a pillar of the country, the family tradition is pure. Today we see this
Jing Yi is soft-spoken and seems to be a very nice person.
Chu Miao'er suppressed the discomfort in her heart and nodded, put her hand in Bai Peach's palm, and walked forward slowly. Her feelings for Fang Yanru were not pure, and were mixed with the emotions of the real second lady of the Chu family.
She found out when she just woke up.
Baitao on the side frowned, with a look of worry on her face. The princess and the young master of the Fang family grew up together, and both of them were ready to talk about marriage... Now when they met again, they had already started their own families.
...
The golden palace was clearly right in front of her, but the uneasiness in Jing Yiren's heart became stronger and stronger.
"Sir," she put a hand on her belly and asked cautiously, "Sir, was that lady just now...?" After hearing no response for a long time, Jing Yiren looked up and saw Fang Yanru.
With a lost expression, he vaguely guessed the identity of the lady.
"Yier, I didn't hear clearly..." Fang Yanru came to her senses under her gaze, her eyes flickered, a trace of blush appeared on her pale face, and she asked with a slight smile, "What did you say just now?"
What?"
"It's nothing, let's go back, husband." Jing Yiren also replied with a smile. Although both of them were smiling, they had their own thoughts. Things were not going as planned, and the two of them, who were going their separate ways, met again at the foot of the steps.
Already.
"Oh, I think this fate is quite good, cousin Miao'er..." He Runjia chuckled, covered her mouth and was about to make fun of her. When she turned around, she saw that Chu Miao'er had already got on the carriage, "It's really boring.
..." She muttered a few words and prepared to get on the sedan, but was hurriedly stopped by Fang Yanru who was not far away.
"Mrs. Zhang, please wait a moment..." Chu Miao'er and Jing Yiren in the sedan felt their hearts skipping a beat at the same time, "Yier, Mrs. Zhang's family and the Fang family have known each other for more than ten years. I want to say hello to her.
How about we meet and come back?" Fang Yanru said this, and Jing Yiren couldn't refuse outright even though she didn't want to at all.
He Runjia turned around with a smile and stood straight on the spot, watching him walk towards this side after settling down his wife.
"Young Madam!" The maid who had been waiting next to the sedan said angrily when she saw her master walking away, "Why did you just let the young master pass like this? The person sitting in the sedan was the man from Kyoto...
."
She was just waiting below when she saw an unfamiliar person getting off the carriage of the He family, and she felt a little curious. After the death of the old lady of the He family, the He family rarely came to Ling'an Temple to offer incense, especially this Zhang who was not kind to others.
Madam, after asking the groom about it, she found out that it was the second young lady of the Chu family from Kyoto who married into the royal family, who had returned.
"Of course I know, Xiaoman," Jing Yiren looked down at her belly and said calmly, "But he insists on going, what can I do? Do I have to kidnap him away? I can't do this.
The behavior of a shrew is not as generous as this. In broad daylight, the two of them can't do anything."
Although she had already guessed her identity, once the guess came true, Jing Yiren still felt a sigh of relief in her heart. She could not go up or down, and felt very uncomfortable. However, the teaching she had received since she was a child in Jing's Mansion made her have no choice but to endure this breath.
Come, otherwise you will behave like a rough country woman.
"The young master is an upright man, but this servant is too worried." Xiaoman saw Jing Yiren's brows furrowed. Although he felt pity for her, he did not dare to say any more. The young lady has followed the rules since she was a child. If she wanted her to snatch the master back now, she would do it.
It's absolutely impossible. This cousin of the He family has always been the young master's sweetheart. She finally got pregnant, so there can't be any mistakes.
"Mrs. Zhang," Fang Yanru called after bowing, "Long time no see. How have you been?" He glanced at the person in the sedan inadvertently.
He Runjia glanced at Chu Miao'er, then walked forward with a smile and saluted slightly: "What's so good about it? It's not the same as before. I never believe in Buddhism, and Master Fang also knows that."
Chu Miao'er, who was in the sedan chair, held her forehead slightly when she heard the noise and looked unhappy.
Fang Yanru's original intention was to see the people in the sedan, but when there was no movement for a long time, he no longer pretended to greet He Runjia, and called softly: "Fourth Madam, I haven't seen you for a long time," he paused before speaking again, "
Is it okay?"
Chu Miao'er, who was in a slumber, listened to him calling her, and had no way to pretend anymore. She could only sigh slightly, stood up and slowly got out of the sedan, "Everything is fine, thank you Master Fang for your concern."
The two people who were obviously in love were silent about each other at this time, which really made people sigh. Seeing this, He Runjia quietly sent his men away, leaving only the two of them.
"I heard that your father has passed away. Is it okay in Kyoto? He...how are the people in the palace treating you well?" Fang Yanru's throat rolled up and down, as if it was difficult to say these few words.
"Everything is fine. Your Majesty is also very good to me." Chu Miaoer said with a faint smile.
He had already sent someone to inquire about her affairs in Kyoto, and already knew that the fourth prince was very kind to her, but he still wanted to hear her say it himself. Seeing her faint smile, Fang Yanru also laughed, as if she was a child.
Same.
"Before I met you, I always thought about what to say to you, but now that I have actually met you, I don't know where to start talking about you." Fang Yanru took a deep breath, tears flashing faintly in the corners of his eyes,
"I was worried that you, a little crybaby, would not be happy in Kyoto, so I feel relieved to see you like this."
Hearing that the tone of his voice was still the same as before, Chu Miaoer felt sour in her heart and couldn't help but call out "Brother Yanru". Fortunately, Baitao warned her, so she wouldn't be caught in the wrong place. Unexpectedly, she was caught by Fang.
Yanru heard it.
"If I had disobeyed..." Fang Yanru was interrupted by Chu Miao'er before she could say anything.
"You and I both know that the sacred command cannot be violated. This is not just a matter between the two of us," Chu Miaoer turned to look not far away and said with a faint smile, "Master Fang, don't bring up old things, cherish the people in front of you.
Well, the young lady is a virtuous and virtuous woman, don't let her down."
Jing Yiren, who was leaning against the window and observing the two of them attentively, was caught off guard by the sight of Chu Miaoer, who turned around. Their eyes met. Jing Yiren felt her heartbeat jump suddenly, and quickly returned to the car to pay attention to what she had just eavesdropped on.
The behavior is shameful.
"She loves to cry and is as timid as you did when you were a child." Fang Yanru whispered, then turned to look at her and said seriously, "My grandmother still talks about you sometimes. If you have time, you can come to the house to see her.
, she will definitely be very pleased."
The old lady of the Fang family has always regarded Chu Miao'er as her granddaughter-in-law. When Chu Miao'er got married, she even cried hard behind her back.
"The old lady has always been very kind to me. Before returning to Kyoto, I will definitely go to her house with my husband to visit her." Chu Miao'er responded with a smile and replied very appropriately, "You can go back first and let the madam wait.
It’s not good. I have to go back now. My uncle dragged him to drink when I went out. If I go back late, I’m afraid he will get drunk early because of his drinking capacity.”
The second wife of the He family never allowed her husband to drink. This matter was well known to everyone, but now she allowed him to drink and chat with her niece-in-law. It seemed that they were getting along very well.
When Fang Yanru thought of this, a trace of sourness arose in her heart, but she still nodded and smiled slightly: "Okay, then I won't disturb the Fourth Madam anymore. I wish Madam all the best for the rest of her life."
Seeing him leaving, Chu Miaoer also turned around and got on the sedan. She leaned against the bed and looked at the people coming and going outside through the bamboo curtain. She was obviously the same as when she came, but her mood was completely different.
Just looking at it like this, he was fascinated. It wasn't until He Runjia let out a soft cry that Chu Miaoer touched his face in a daze. It turned out that his face was already wet.
"Cousin Miao'er, if she says she's not sad when she meets her old friend again, it's definitely a lie." He Runjia said deliberately.
Chu Miao'er herself didn't know what happened, but when she saw Fang Yanru turning around and leaving, her tears fell straight down, but she didn't want to cry. She quickly wiped the tears on her face with silk and said lightly: "I just stood there.
After a while, the sun is dazzling, so cousin, please don't think too much."
He Runjia ignored her and said to herself: "Young Master Fang is also very affectionate towards his sister. Even though he was forced by his parents to marry the young lady of Jing family, he would not sleep with her," she sighed softly.
After taking a breath, he continued, "Why do you think Buddha is so partial? Her stomach moved so quickly, but I couldn't even beg for it!"
Is his wife pregnant? No wonder they were seen walking together just now. Fang Yanru was very careful and protective of his wife. Mrs. Fang must have been extremely happy.
"Very good." Chu Miaoer responded with a smile, smiling but shedding tears for no apparent reason.
Baitao heard the faint conversation outside the sedan and wanted to go forward but was stopped by Cai'er. She could only follow him bitterly, anxious and angry. He Runjia really had no good intentions!
