As soon as she walked to the door of He Mansion, she smelled the aroma of wine. When Shu Qingqing heard that the servants said that the two of them were back, she wanted to ask Fu Yunchi to go together to greet them, but seeing them in high spirits, she smiled to herself
I walked out. I saw them entering the house one after another, and I was slightly relieved. But when I got closer, I realized that Chu Miaoer's eyelashes were wet, and she looked like she had just cried, and I couldn't help being shocked.
"Miao'er," Shu Qingqing exclaimed and stepped forward quickly, grabbing her hand with a little force, but looking at He Runjia, she asked softly, "Miao'er, what's going on? Is it possible that you, a sister, are like this?"
Bullied her?"
The word "again" seemed particularly harsh at this time. He Runjia's face changed slightly, and he answered the words with a smile: "What did my aunt say? Now that there is someone behind Cousin Miao'er, how dare I
Bullying her," she smiled, stepped forward, looked at the suspicious Shu Qingqing and explained, "I just accidentally met an old friend at Ling'an Temple today."
Dongling's old friend? Shu Qingqing immediately thought of Fang Yanru and asked with eyes.
"It's just that I think about things in the past that are a bit emotional. Don't worry, little aunt." Chu Miaoer smiled and nodded and said, "Young Master Fang is happy now, and I now have people who protect me and love me, so I feel emotional for no reason. Thinking about it now
It’s just that I’m being hypocritical.”
Everyone is well aware of what happened between Chu Miaoer and Young Master Fang. Now that things have changed, it is normal for her to be sad. Shu Qingqing actually felt a little sad when he saw her smile.
She nodded slightly and said soothingly: "Yes, Yunqi and your brother-in-law are drinking happily, let's go in first." After saying that, she looked at He Runjia deeply, and that look seemed to say, "Be more at ease with me."
!
Entering the front hall, my uncle saw her at a glance and called excitedly: "My little niece is back! Come here, come here!"
He Muchang had obviously drunk too much at this time. The circles around his eyes were red, the veins on his neck were bulging, he was smiling from ear to ear, and his eyes were a little blurry. Chu Miaoer scanned for a week. Although the others were a little tipsy, they were not too drunk.
As for him leaning left and right like that, it's no wonder that my aunt and uncle don't drink. It turns out that they lose control after drinking.
"Uncle, no matter how good the wine is, don't be greedy." Chu Miao'er took the opportunity to sit down next to Fu Yunchi. Then he looked at the empty wine bottle on the table and couldn't help but pursed his lips, "How much wine have you drank?"
Fu Yunchi held her hand, his eyes were heavy, and he said with a smile: "My uncle drinks a lot, I'm just accompanying you." He was always like this, and after drinking, his already captivating peach blossom eyes became even more captivating.
Everyone else blushed when they saw it, including Chu Miaoer.
"Why did Yunqi say that? My uncle is also happy to see you." He Mucang seemed to be a little proud. He lowered his head and burped quietly. After thinking for a while, he raised his head, "My niece has a hard life. She has had no mother since she was a child.
..." He frowned and waved his hands, "It's okay if you don't mention that dad! Later, when he finally grew up, he saw that the Fang family sent people to propose marriage, and the court..."
"Master!" Shu Qingqing called hurriedly, glanced at Fu Yunqi quickly, and said in a deep voice, "Are you drunk?!"
However, He Muchang didn't seem to see her desperate wink. He touched his belly comfortably and said with a smile: "I now feel that this may be Miaoer's destiny, otherwise how could I meet Yunqi!"
The words changed so quickly that everyone at the table was silent.
Fu Yunqi was the first to react. He stood up with a wine glass in his hand and said loudly: "Yunqi would also like to thank my uncle for taking good care of Miaomiao. I am lucky to have met her."
Hearing what he said, Shu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was worrying too much. Fu Yunqi was different from the emperor's children. He didn't seem to be such a suspicious person.
"Hahaha——" He Muchang raised his head and laughed, looking very happy, and his eyes became clear again. After searching around the table, he didn't see the person he was looking for, so he shouted loudly, "Where is Zhang Yi? Zhang Yi?"
meaning--"
Zhang Yi hurriedly ran out of the backyard, brushing his chin with his sleeves as he ran, as if he had just vomited. He ran to He Muchang with a smile, and said with a smile: "What did uncle call me for?"
"Your wine is very good!" He Muchang pointed at the messy wine bottles on the ground with a smile and said, "It's a pity that your cousin-in-law and I haven't had enough to drink. It's not enough... it's not enough..."
Chu Miaoer raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the confused Fu Yunqi with a smile. There was no trace of sadness in his eyes, as if he was not the same person just now.
"Then I will send someone to get some more?" Zhang Yi rolled his eyes and called out in a loud voice, "Zhang——"
"Master!" Before Zhang Yi's name could be called out, Shu Qingqing on the side became unhappy and stepped forward to grab his wine glass and deliberately said, "You are still drinking! No matter how happy you are, you can't drink like this. You really think you are yourself."
Is he a young man?"
"Qingqing..." He Muchang grabbed the wine glass from her hand again, drank the wine in the glass, and said with a smile, "Yun Qi and I only drank once, you can't let me do this in front of juniors.
I can’t get off the stage.”
The coquettish behavior of a man over fifty years old would really make people feel sick all over if they were other people. However, because they were He Mucang and Shu Qingqing, everyone was used to it. Fu Yunchi also had a second brother who also liked clever words.
, so there wasn’t much of a reaction.
Chu Miaoer stood up and walked to Shu Qingqing, gently took her hand, and said with a smile: "Little aunt, Yun Qi and I finally came back. After we left two days later, my uncle didn't even want to drink.
I have someone to accompany me, so it’s better to let him enjoy himself.”
Hearing what he said, Shu Qingqing hesitated a little. Seeing this, He Runjia took advantage of the gap and quickly added: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll go get some wine for my uncle."
"That's very good, that's very good!" He Muchang responded with a smile, without any hesitation.
He Runjia's eyes flickered with a light of unknown meaning, which disappeared in an instant. When Chu Miaoer turned to look at her, she had returned to her calm expression.
"After you went to Ling'an Temple, your face didn't look better?" Fu Yunqi pulled her to sit next to him as if there was no one around, and asked softly, "But what happened?"
Chu Miao'er shook her head slowly, looking at He Runjia's retreating back, a hint of uneasiness emerged in her heart. She looked at Fu Yunchi's worried eyes and said softly: "I'm probably tired from walking up that step today, and now I feel a little dizzy."
, I will just go to the room and lie down for a while. My uncle is happy today, so I will stay with him for a while."
Seeing her tired face, Fu Yunqi did not try to persuade her to stay. He just told Baitao to take good care of her and then let her go.
"Princess, are you feeling unwell again?" Baitao followed Chu Miao'er closely and said anxiously, "If the eldest lady hadn't insisted on letting you go to Ling'an Temple today, how could you have met Master Fang?
It’s a shame that I still feel sorry for her! It’s really hard to change her nature!”
Listening to her croaking, Chu Miaoer felt that his brain hurt even more. Chu Miaoer, Chu Miaoer, why do you keep these memories in my mind? He is now married to a beautiful and intelligent woman, you
I also saw it. It’s time to feel at ease and stop torturing me. Chu Miaoer covered her forehead and frowned, looking very painful.
"Princess, if it's the prince..." After finally reaching the room, Chu Miaoer closed the door with a bang. Baitao opened her mouth slightly and looked at the closed door at a loss, "Princess..."
"I have a severe headache and want to clear myself. You can go and play by yourself..."
Noticing that the sounds in the room were getting quieter, Baitao turned around and walked into the courtyard with a pout, kicking pebbles while muttering: "Everyone is doing this for your own good, but you don't know a good heart. It's really heartbreaking..."
…”
Zhang Mansion's wine cellar is right next to Dongling City. It's not far away, and it takes at least half an hour for the carriage to go back and forth. He Runjia was sitting in the sedan chair, concentrating on something and not knowing what to think.
"Madam, it's been a long time since I've seen the master as happy as he is today. I'm sure he will stay in the house tonight." Cai'er said with a smile, her eyes bent. Seeing the madam and the master walking farther and farther away, she felt extremely anxious.
, but Madam is very high-spirited, and even if she really does something wrong, she will not bow her head and submit.
He Runjia snorted coldly and said lightly: "If he doesn't come back, he won't come back. Am I still begging him to come back?" She gently touched her cheek with her hand, and her eyes gradually became gloomy. What happened last night was still vivid in her mind.
At that time, he really should have turned around and left. Without her nodding, no one could enter the house. She was the official wife of the Zhang family's Ming matchmaker.
The carriage slowly passed by the back door of Fang Mansion. He Runjia saw it in a daze and suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a plan suddenly came into his mind. "Cai'er, you go to the wine cellar to get the wine. I have some things to deal with. Stop the sedan!"
"Where are you going, ma'am?" Seeing her getting up, Cai'er panicked and wanted to get up with her, but was pushed down.
At this time, the carriage had stopped. He Runjia didn't want to say anything more to her, but just looked at her. Cai'er saw her face darken and quickly shut up, not daring to ask any more questions.
He Runjia stood silently by the street, waiting for the carriage to drive away slowly before turning around and walking into the alley. The scholarly family did not like to be on the street, so the surroundings of the mansion were very clean. After walking for so long, no one passed by here.
"I've seen Madam." When the boy guarding the door saw someone approaching, he quickly went down the steps and bowed his hands in salute.
Sure enough, even the servant guarding the door was so considerate and polite. She smiled and returned the greeting, and said slowly: "Mrs. Zhang's family is here to visit Young Master Fang. Please let me know."
Mrs. Zhang? Isn’t Mrs. Zhang the eldest lady of the He family? The Fang family and the He family have not been in contact for many years. What is she doing here today? Could it be related to Master He?
The young man made quick calculations in his mind, lowered his head and responded repeatedly: "Yes, I will go into the house to announce the news immediately. Madam, please wait here for a while."
