Chapter 46
After the old lady left, Chen Qingqing's chest felt like a blocked gauze was stuffy.
Although Li Zhi was ready to respect him as Bing as he dared to be unfaithful, it proved that Li Zhi was too treacherous and she was too stupid, and Chen Qingqing could not be free and easy at all.
Li Zhi was cruel and hypocritical, and had known it for a long time. However, Li Zhi gave her too much gentleness and considerate and beautiful heart, and Chen Qingqing felt that Li Zhi was bad, as long as he was good to her and her family, he would not do any evil things that were full of conscience, and that would be a good husband.
Since she is a good husband, Chen Qingqing naturally doesn't want to share it with others. In this world, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. However, Chen Qingqing was born with a kindness of her parents, and she also wanted a warm and sweet life like her parents.
Touching her stomach, Chen Qingqing decided not to be angry. If Li Zhi can keep his promise, wouldn't she be angry?
"Biyun, you go down and rest first. When the Marquis returns to his house in the evening, I will call you to come and pay my respects."
Holding his annoyance, Chen Qingqing smiled and said to Biyun who was left by Old Lady Zhu.
Biyun didn't believe that the mistress would be so generous, and she went down with Jade Cicada in a restless mood.
As soon as she left, Yudie became anxious and asked her master in a low voice: "Madam, do you really want her to serve the marquis?"
Chen Qingqing smiled bitterly, and then sighed: "It doesn't matter why I think it's important. What's important is what the Marquis thinks, let's wait and see."
Today, the imperial military affairs were busy. It was dark when Li Zhi came back, and the lights had already fallen in other courtyards of the Hou Mansion.
The little wife was not sleeping well after pregnancy. Li Zhi didn't want to go to the backyard to disturb her, but his wife actually ordered Arong to send a message and told him to go there.
"What happened?" Li Zhi asked Arong while walking in. It took so long to get married, but Chen Qingqing had not deliberately invited him to the backyard.
Arong bent over and said, "Mrs. I didn't say what happened, but the old lady came over during the day with a maid named Biyun, and she did not take Biyun away when she left."
Li Zhi frowned.
In the early years, because he was reluctant to marry, the old lady picked maids one after another. At first, Li Zhi refused politely, but later he was upset and said a harsh word. The old lady calmed down. After Chen Qingqing got married, the old lady cared for her. Li Zhi thought the old lady was very satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law, but she didn't expect that Chen Qingqing was just five months pregnant and the old lady came to make things difficult.
She has a child's temper, and she has a clear distinction between love and hate and can't stand the slightest grievance. Isn't the old lady afraid that she will hurt the child in anger?
"How about madam?" Li Zhi asked calmly, unable to hear joy and anger in his voice.
Arong said truthfully: "Mrs. I kept staying in the backyard in the afternoon, and I think nothing should be done." Yuchan and Yudie were already anxious if there was something wrong.
Li Zhi nodded and went to the room to change his clothes first.
After changing into regular clothes, Li Zhi immediately went to the backyard.
In October, it was already very cold, especially at night, the cold wind was biting, and it felt so terrible. Chen Qingqing lived in Jiangnan for a long time and was even more afraid of the severe cold in the capital. After waiting for Li Zhi for a long time after dinner, she took a rest first.
There was a fire of ground dragons in the house. Li Zhi picked up the curtain and saw the chrysanthemum pots placed on the flower table. It was a pot of cinnabar and red frost. The newly opened flower plate was as big as a plate. The golden and red petals added a bit of warmth to this dark and cold winter night. Not only this pot of flowers, but Li Zhi felt a warm feeling everywhere in the whole room. This was a feeling he had never had before getting married.
He was born rich and noble, and had a high position and a high position and a powerful person, but in the absence of anyone, Li Zhi got used to loneliness.
But now it's different. He married a spoiled and arrogant little wife. Just coaxing her to tease her would add a lot of fun, not to mention the affectionate happiness of the couple at night.
With a gentle look, Li Zhi walked around the screen.
When he picked up the gauze tent and sat down, the bed sank, Chen Qingqing suddenly woke up. He looked back and found that the man had finally returned. Chen Qingqing was sleepy and was about to sit up with his little hand on the bed.
"What should I do when I get up?" Li Zhi skillfully supported her.
Chen Qingqing wanted to sarcastically, but her tone turned into a hypocritical and gentle feeling that she was surprised by: "There is a maid who wants to let the marquis see you."
Li Zhi wanted to laugh. She would never aggrieved herself in front of him. She would lose her temper when she should. She would give him a cold face if she wanted to give him a cold face. Now she has become so sarcastic, which shows how much she minds.
In another case, Li Zhi would definitely tease her, but when she was pregnant, Li Zhi would not dare to provoke her too much, so as not to be angry and hurt her body.
Slowly pressing his little wife down, Li Zhi followed her and said carelessly: "Arong told me that he was called Biyun, right? If my grandmother sends her to you, you can keep it. If I send it to serve me, I will return it to my grandmother tomorrow morning."
Chen Qingqing:...
So straightforward?
She raised her face, and her almond eyes searched for Li Zhi's eyes in the dark.
Li Zhi lowered his forehead and his forehead was close to her. His warm breath fell on her cheeks and nose, and said softly: "You are my wife and the mother of my children. I will not let them be put on you any grievances that I can stop."
His voice was low, his arms were warm, and on such a winter night, Chen Qingqing was heartbroken.
After removing all suspicion and depression, Chen Qingqing's body softened. She relied on her to retreat into his arms, and thought about him in turn: "What should I do if my grandmother is angry?"
Li Zhi smiled and kissed her forehead and said, "You don't have to worry over there, just take good care of yourself."
Chen Qingqing thought about it and Li Zhi had been the head of the family for so many years, so he would have a way to deal with his grandmother.
"Don't care, but you can't let your grandmother misunderstand it was the pillow style I blew." Chen Qingqing reminded very seriously that even if Li Zhi deserves this family, Li Zhi went out early and came back late, and she still had a lot of time to deal with Mrs. Zhu during the day, which angered Mrs. Zhu, and Chen Qingqing would have a lot of trouble.
Li Zhi pinched her earlobe and said confidently: "I understand."
Chen Qingqing has to wait until the result of his contest with Mrs. Zhu comes out before she can fully feel at ease.
"But, if I take that maid, do you really not mind?" Li Zhi asked in her eyes when his lips brushed against Chen Qingqing's nose.
Chen Qingqing bit her lip and turned her head and said, "If you dare to speak without trust, I will never allow you to go to my bed again."
If you like it, you will mind. Li Zhi smiled, pressed his fingertips on her soft lips, and said, "If this is the case, there will be no hope for the rest of his life."
Chen Qingqing curled her lips. This guy is accustomed to saying sweet words.
Fortunately, she likes listening more and more.
"Have you had dinner tonight?" Before Li Zhi's biological mother came up, Chen Qingqing hurriedly changed the subject. She didn't want to be fascinated by her temporary love.
Li Zhi didn't eat it, but he didn't want to make trouble so late.
"I've used it in the palace." Li Zhi lay down, held her little hand and said, "Go to sleep."
Chen Qingqing believed it and fell asleep.
At the same time, in a room in the backyard, Biyun sat in front of the blurred bronze mirror and traced her thin eyebrows again.
There is a beautiful face in the mirror.
Biyun is very confident in her appearance. Since the wife has agreed to the old lady, even if she is not happy, the wife will definitely bring her to the Marquis. The Marquis is a busy man, and it is common for her to come back late at night. Wait a little longer, and when the Marquis returns to the mansion, she may be able to serve the Marquis tonight.
Putting down the eyebrow pencil, Biyun's eyes were full of expectations.
However, Biyun waited for a night, but she did not wait for anyone to call. Only the howling cold wind in the early winter night accompanied her.
The next morning, someone finally came to see her door.
Biyun took a deep breath and regained his energy to open the door.
The one who knocked on the door was a little maid in Chen Qingqing's courtyard, and asked Biyun to follow her to meet her masters.
When he heard that the Marquis wanted to see her, Biyun looked happy and took the opportunity to dress up again when he was going back to the room to get things. Then he followed the little maid to the main courtyard.
In the main temple, Li Zhi was chatting with Chen Qingqing. Today he was resting and was preparing to accompany Chen Qingqing out for a walk or go back to his parents' home to relax.
Chen Qingqing whispered to him: "You have just refused my grandmother and I will accompany me out. My grandmother is still sick."
Li Zhi was raised by the old lady. He was willing to respect his grandmother, but he was not a foolish filial person.
"It's fine this time, I'll accompany you to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law next time." Li Zhi promised with a smile.
Chen Qingqing took his affection and renovated a bowl of tea for him with his own hands.
"Marty, Madam, Biyun is brought here." Yuchan came in to report.
Chen Qingqing immediately looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi took two sips of tea and stood up and said, "You don't have to see you again. I'll go to Wanfu Hall first and come back to accompany you."
Chen Qingqing gave him a look of "take care".
Li Zhi touched her head and went out as usual.
In the yard, Biyun stood aside and saw the tall and handsome marquis who had a gentle smile. Her heart beat faster and she lowered her head shyly.
Li Zhi glanced at her indifferently, and then said, "Follow me to Wanfu Hall."
There was no anger in his voice.
But Biyun's heart sank. Last night, the marquis was about to retreat before they even saw her. It must be because of his pregnancy that the marquis opposed the marquis taking a concubine.
It doesn’t matter, there is also an old lady. The Marquis can’t dismiss the old lady’s face for his wife who has been married for only half a year.
Biyun followed Li Zhi not very worriedly, and seemed very obedient.
Wanfutang, I wish the old lady and Jiang Yiyue had just eaten and walked in the yard together. The early winter sunshine made Jiang Yiyue’s skin look fair and transparent, and it was extremely pleasing.
Seeing Li Zhi and Biyun, Jiang Yiyue's expression changed slightly, and she whispered something to Mrs. Zhu. Then she greeted Li Zhi, and then she stepped down.
"What do you mean?" Old Mrs. Zhu glanced at Biyun and asked her grandson with a smile.
Li Zhi held her arm and said warmly: "Let's go to the hall to talk."
I prayed that the old lady pursed her lips and the grandparents and grandchildren stepped into the main hall together.
Li Zhi was right: "Grandmother, you gave me a maid with good intentions. Qingqing also advised me to accept it, but I told you a long time ago that I don't want my backyard to be as calculating as my second uncle, and I don't want my children to have any unexpected problems because of their wives and concubines. Maybe all the maids you chose were duty-minded, but I was already very tired in the court and didn't have the extra energy to observe whether they had the desire to compete for favor."
Old Mrs. Zhu frowned and said, "Who asked you to tell me? The concubines have their own training..."
Li Zhi waved his hand and looked at the old lady without any discussion and said, "Grandmother, unless you have no son, I will never take a concubine. If you insist on stuffing someone to me, it will only cause me a headache. The situation in the court is complicated and you are not distracted. I hope my grandmother understands it."
When he mentioned the court, the old lady Zhu immediately thought of her concubine's granddaughter.
"Why, are you going to deal with A Yu again?" Old Mrs. Zhu asked nervously.
Li Zhi said nothing, but his expression was serious and seemed to be accusation.
Old lady Zhu immediately had no intention of thinking about Changsun’s backyard. If the imperial concubine’s granddaughter collapsed, the entire Marquis’s mansion would be over.
"Okay, I understand. You can go to court with peace of mind. You have grandmother at home, so you don't have to worry about it." Old Mrs. Zhu said firmly.
Li Zhi's expression calmed down and bowed to the old lady: "Young Qingqing is young, and you will have to work harder for your grandmother in the future."
I wish the old lady nodded heavily.
The eldest grandson was about to leave, and Mrs. Zhu personally took him out. When she came back, she saw Biyun still standing in the yard. Mrs. Zhu thought about it and asked the nanny beside her to return Biyun to the place where she was.
Biyun cried on the spot and knelt down and begged the old lady to take it in. Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, he was blocked.
In the wing room in the backyard, Jiang Yiyue heard Biyun's crying.
Did Brother Zhongchang not accept Biyun?
Looking at a pink chrysanthemum blooming in front of him, Jiang Yiyue's eyes became complicated.
