After using dinner, Aji followed Zhao Chen back to look at Zhuxuan.

Madam Jiang was waiting. As soon as the couple entered the room, she looked at Aji first. Seeing her rosy face and smiling with a smile on her lips, her heart finally fell down. While helping Aji uncloak her cloak, she asked, "Grandma has you seen the lady?"

Aji knew what she wanted to ask, so she watched Zhao Chen enter the inner room. She smiled and said to the nanny who cared about her: "Well, I have seen it all, nanny, don't worry, no one makes things difficult for me."

"That's good. Grandma, should she go inside for a rest first, or wash and rest now?" As for Aji's words of good news and bad news, Madam Jiang laughed at it. The woman in the backyard would only make trouble in front of the man if she was stupid.

"Let's wash up now. I've been tossing for a day and the nanny has also rested early." Aji took the hand stove handed over by Cuiyu and went to the inner room.

Madam Jiang left Lu Yun Cuiyu to guard the outside. She walked out with Jinshu and Jinmo and took the opportunity to inquire about what happened in Rongshou Hall. Lu Yun Cuiyu had never seen the world before, so she practiced in the yard first. Jinshu and Jinmo now want to gain a foothold by their master. No matter what thoughts they have in their hearts, they will definitely show their feelings before they gain a foothold.

Aji entered the house and saw that Zhao Chen had already sat on the kang, so he handed him the stove in his hand: "You cover your hands? I'll go and distribute it."

Zhao Chen didn't answer, and stood up and said, "Take it, I'll help you." Then he put his shoulders on Aji and walked to the dressing mirror, pressed her down. He stood on one side and took down the beads on her head and put them on the table.

The man in the mirror looked focused, Aji looked at it for a while and closed her eyes.

She didn't feel the obvious difference from her mother-in-law, husband, or father-in-law. She just used a meal but completely felt it. From the time she sat down to the time she left the table, the grandmother Qin Shi was secretly observing her, as if she wanted to see what her farm girl's demeanor was on the table. There was nothing wrong with her, and they kept staring at her, as if she had to make a fool of herself to be normal.

That feeling of being looked down upon is really bad.

But I had expected it long ago, didn’t you? Not everyone can ignore her identity, although her identity is not embarrassing.

The lady probably won’t like her anymore. I don’t know what will happen to Zhao Chen’s two aunts. If they don’t like her...

Aji couldn't help but worry. She couldn't imagine that when she went out in the future, there would be no one around her who could speak.

"What are you thinking? Sorrowful?" The girl in the mirror pursed her lips, and Zhao Chen slowly stopped her hand, and kissed her on the face.

Aji opened his eyes and looked at him, slowly took off the agarwood beads on his wrist, and whispered: "You said grandmother doesn't like you, I think she seems to like you very much." If the lady was also disgusted with Zhao Chen, because her relationship was not good or bad, Aji might feel better.

Zhao Chen sneered and looked at the Buddhist beads and said, "She only likes what is useful to her. If I were not a handsome talent today, but a down-and-out playboy, would she give you this? I just hope that I can make face for her if I have a future. I want to win over people with strings of Buddhist beads. This kind of trick can only deceive you, such a silly girl."

It would be fine if he boasted with confidence, but at the end he said she was stupid. Aji glanced at him, lowered her head, and turned her wrist to play with the plum tourmaline bracelet that her mother-in-law gave her.

The maid outside brought the hot water in. Zhao Chen kissed her forehead and said nothing. After she finished her hair, the two of them washed their hair separately. After turning off the lights and crawled into the quilt, Zhao Chen hugged his wife, who was still in a low mood, and laughed at her: "Why, because the lady likes me and I don't like you, are you unhappy?"

Aji shook her head. On such a dark night, the two of them were lying in the warm bed together. She also wanted to say something to him: "No, I'm just afraid, what if the two aunts don't like me?"

Zhao Chen fell silent.

When he left the Marquis' Mansion, he was full of resentment and never thought about other people's affairs. His father went to visit them for a short time and rarely mentioned his aunts. Later, when he grew up and when he was in Beijing, he ordered people to pay attention to the movements of his two aunts.

There are not many girls from the Ning family who are of the same generation as their mother. There are two girls in the big room, the first one died young, and the third girl, his third aunt, married King An, and after five years of marriage, she got a son Tang Ju, four years younger than him. Prince An was born by King An, who was twenty years old and was sinister and cruel. None of the children in the capital who offended him ended up well. However, it is said that Tang Ying was very good to Tang Ju, and she was so good that Tang Ju was spoiled to lawless at such a young age.

His grandfather, Ning family, also had two girls. The second girl, his second aunt, married the prince of Yongchang Hou Guo Yi as his wife. Yongchang Hou resigned from his post and was retired at home and was spared and never interfered with the prince's dispute over the throne. Guo Yi was originally in the Five City Military and Horses Office. After Emperor Wen of Tang ascended the throne, he was promoted to commander.

As for the second aunt, even though he hadn't seen him for many years, Zhao Chen remembered that the second aunt was serious. If his mother was Youlan, the second aunt would be Leng Mei. When Zhao Chen was a child, he was afraid of this aunt. When his mother was buried, the second aunt came to pay his respects and looked at him with a complicated look. In the end, he turned around and left without saying anything. In recent years, my father sent gifts to Yongchang Hou Mansion during festivals, but his second aunt returned them.

There is only one fifth girl in the Ning family. Although she is an aunt, she is two years younger than him. She is exiled to the border with the male member of the Ning family.

Zhao Chen was not sure. He had the blood of the Ning family and the blood of the Zhao family in his body. He looked so much like his father. Most of his aunt didn't want to see him. And his wife...

Zhao Chen kissed Aju apologetically: "It's all my fault. I'm not good at it. I'm not liking you."

Aji felt distressed all of a sudden.

Compared with Zhao Chen, she was spoiled by her parents since childhood, and her younger brothers and sisters were lively and cute. It can be said that except for her wealth, Zhao Chen’s life is not as good as her. He has suffered so much, what is her concern for socializing? What does it matter if others like her or not? It’s enough for Zhao Chen to like her, she has lived with him.

Zhao Chen comforted her all the way. She told him that she was homesick, but she never thought about it from his perspective. She had her troubles in the inner courtyard and he was wandering outside. Such an embarrassing experience might not be better than her, but he did not complain to her for more than half of the time, and only patiently comforted her.

She shouldn't just think about her own.

"Don't say that, it's really because you don't like me, and it's not worthy of my attention." Aji shrank into Zhao Chen's arms and took the initiative to hug him, "I figured it out. It's better for others to don't like me. I'll stay at home every day to talk to my mother. When you go home, it's the same as when you were in Tongwan. That's great."

"Silly words, the most in Beijing is all kinds of banquets and social events. Are you not going to go out if you don't want to go out? If you don't invite others, others will invite you." Zhao Chen held her hand and reminded her cruelly that she wanted to live a good life in Beijing. This kind of avoidance mentality is not good, "Aji, you..."

"I know." Aji interrupted him with a smile. She really figured it out. "You nobles like socializing the most. Not to mention being outside, they are at home. Just like the grandma Qin Shi, they don't like me, and they still want to eat with me at the same table? Maybe they feel uncomfortable. And those who obviously don't like me but have to invite me to visit in the future. Since they can do something wrong, I can do it too. Don't worry, I really know what to do."

This is indeed the reason.

She understood, but Zhao Chen felt distressed. She could have lived simply, but he forced her to this hypocritical capital.

It was him who was selfish and greedy for the warmth on her body, and ignoring the cold around him would make her uneasy.

"Aji, do whatever you like. Talk to what you can. Just ignore what you don't like. Don't be wronged for me." Zhao Chen held her face and kissed her one after another.

Hearing the guilt in his voice, Aji softened his heart, and didn't want him to blame himself, deliberately mocking him: "It sounds so nice. I didn't want to pay attention to you at the beginning. Why aren't you afraid that I will be wronged?"

She was rare to ridicule people, pretty and cute. Zhao Chen turned to her with a thick face and said to her ear: "At that time, you were just an outsider, and I have always been cold-blooded and ruthless to outsiders. Now you are my wife, and you want to spend your whole life with me. Of course, I have to hold you in my hand and serve you."

His hands were not honest again, but Aji did not dodge and hugged his neck to greet him.

"Aji, hurry up and give birth to a baby for me, the more the better. I envy my father-in-law and mother-in-law for spoiling you three sisters. When we have children, we will spoil them like father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the whole family will be happy." Zhao Chen murmured, kissing her neck all the way and kissing his wife.

Aji couldn't help but raise her head, cooperated with him instinct, fantasizing about their children in his whisper, but the child's father was too domineering, and after a brief gentleness, he became rude, leaving only him in her mind, all of him...

Xinlan Garden.

Zhao Yunting woke up early and hugged his wife and talked to her: "Do you want to go to the Guo family with Chengyuan and the others?"

Ning said, "She is born with a cold face and will not show it to anyone who is good to you, let alone she may not like Chengyuan. Aji first came to the capital, and her closest relative is Guo's mansion. She can't misunderstand her aunt. The two of them have grudges. Oh, don't worry, I just told my sister that others wouldn't know."

After hearing this, Zhao Yunting felt mixed feelings and sighed: "I'm sorry for your family."

Ning did not answer the conversation. When she heard the noise of Mei getting up, she said, "I'm up, you can leave early too."

"I'll see you finish combing your hair before leaving." Zhao Yunting withdrew his arms around his wife and said softly.

Ning ignored him and sat up by himself.

Zhao Yunting really watched Ning's clothes finish washing and got up and left, leaving, leaving through the secret passage behind the wardrobe. She is nominally the adopted mother of the eldest son, so he can't walk through the main door.

When the person left, she brought a bowl of soup and brought it in. Ning's house after seeing two pots of orchids in the house. The temperature of the soup was just right. She brought the bowl, blew it gently, and drank it slowly.

At this time, Aji and Zhao Chen were paying homage to the Grandma in Rongshou Hall, and Zhao Yunting, Qin Shi, Zhao Qing and others were all there. Except for Zhao Yunting who was busy when he was in court, the whole family had to come here to accompany the Grandma.

The grandmother also prepared a seat for the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law.

Zhao Chen refused, "Grandmother, my adopted mother has recreated me. I have been taking care of my elder mother for years to survive. On the way back, my elder mother repeatedly reminded me not to go with her when I arrived at the mansion, but if Chengyuan didn't go, I felt guilty. From now on, we will come to pay filial piety to my grandmother every morning and evening. Let's go to my elder mother's side to have three meals a day. In this way, my grandmother has a father, second brother and sister to accompany her, and my elder mother will be spared from loneliness and will be both kind and kind."

The lady's face immediately became cold, "What's the rule? Not to mention just being an adopted mother, even if your biological mother is alive, there is no such reason. If you are really worried that she will be neglected, I will set a seat for her and let her have a meal with us."

The Ning family bitch, who instigated the eldest grandson to go over, wasn’t it just to gain a place in the Zhao family again? Since she wanted to, she would give her face and let her see with her own eyes that the position of the wife was occupied by the Qin family. So what if her son liked her, she would marry someone else, take on the concubine, and give birth to children with them.

"Grandma, don't be angry. In fact, I have advised my adopted mother like this. She knew that her identity was low and did not dare to eat a sudden grandmother with her grandmother. Besides, her father was present, and her adopted mother still had to avoid it. Father, do you think so?" Zhao Chen said to Zhao Yunting.

Before Zhao Yunting could speak, Qin Shi spoke first: "Yes, Chengyuan is right. Mom, Mrs. Rong knows the etiquette, and Chengyuan knows kindness. When this matter is spread, it is a good story. Mom will be sure? Anyway, the couple will come to visit you sooner or later." The distance between the annoying people, the better. As for Mrs. Rong, she wished her husband would never see anyone.

As soon as she finished speaking, the lady glared fiercely: "I'm talking to them, what are you talking about? Do you think you're talking too much?"

The first time Qin was scolded by her mother-in-law in such a merciless manner, she was in front of Zhao Chen and her husband. Her face suddenly turned red and white. Her handkerchief was about to twist into a rope. She couldn't help but want to defend herself. Zhao Han gently pulled her clothes on the side.

Qin had no choice but to shut up and look at her husband with grievance.

Zhao Yunting didn't look at her, but expressed the same meaning, "Mother, Chengyuan was raised by his adopted mother after all, and Chengyuan deserves to be filial. It is said that if it is said that he is good to Chengyuan and the Zhao family, he will accept it." He is happy to see that things are good to his wife and eldest son are good to him.

The lady was tense, and Qin quickly lowered her head to hide her smile. Her husband spoke for her, which just so happened to show that he had no intention of Mrs. Rong. How could she be unhappy?

Seeing that the lady did not object anymore, Zhao Chen turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait." The lady spoke again, her eyes on Aji: "If you want to be filial, you don't have to go both of you and your wife. Let your wife accompany you. If you stay here, you will be filial to both sides. I believe your adopted mother will be happier. Chengyuan's wife, don't you?"

Aji was standing on the side of Zhao Chen with his eyes hanging down, but when she was asked suddenly, she was stunned for a moment. When she looked up, she saw that everyone in the room was staring at her. She couldn't help but look at Zhao Chen, followed him and hid behind him, and said with her head down: "I, I listen to my husband..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Chen's eyes, and then cooperated and said, "Grandma, you have also seen that Ajiren is stupid and can't serve others. I'm not at ease. Let her go with her adopted mother by herself, so we should go together. It's not too early, so it won't be delayed to have grandmother's meals. Chengyuan will come to visit her grandmother again in the evening."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Of course, Aji bowed his head and followed.

The lady slapped the table in a slight manner and turned her head to scold Zhao Yunting: "Look, this is the good wife you have found for Chengyuan. She is so stingy and petty. How can she deserve Chengyuan!"

Zhao Yunting lowered his head and held the tea: "The husband is the leader of his wife, and Chengyuan's wife listens to Chengyuan's everything, so the couple will not have a dispute."

He obviously wanted to make things happen, and the lady was so angry that she got up and left the seat.

Outside, Zhao Chen smiled and bent his eyes. When he walked to the corner, he carried his wife into his arms and lowered his head to interrogate her: "When did you learn to act?"

The first time he was lying like this, Aji felt a little embarrassed and a little happy. He turned his head and said, "In their eyes, shouldn't the girls in the village be like that?"

Life in the village is stable, but it does not mean that every household is harmonious and harmonious. Bad mother-in-law bullies weak daughter-in-law and bad daughter-in-law treats honest mother-in-law. Who doesn’t have any kind of people? She pretended to be cowardly just now, but she has seen such a person who regards her husband as the god in everything and dare not disobey. Just now, she was staring at the grandma and others. For some reason, she thought of the scene she had seen. Coupled with the contempt of the grandma at the dinner table yesterday, she learned it without thinking. Zhao Chen didn’t want to stay here at all, and he couldn’t make a fuss too much. She had to help him think of an excuse.

My wife has never been stupid, but she just doesn't want to be slanderous. Now she has learned to do something bad. Even if it's just a small bad, Zhao Chen is happy and sips on her face twice in a row, "Very good, Aji, you should do this. When you should fool them, fool them, the worse the better."

It was not something worth praising, Aji urged him to go forward: "Go quickly, don't let my mother think we're staying there to eat."

"I'm afraid that my mother won't leave you food?" Zhao Chen laughed at her while walking.

Aju ignored him.

When the two of them entered Xinlanyuan, they were still smiling. When Ning saw this, his heart fell to his feet and asked curiously what was going on.

Aji lowered her head with a red face.

Zhao Chen looked at her with a smile and said his wife's cleverness of adapting to the situation.

Ning laughed after hearing this, and was more relieved. If his daughter-in-law takes the first step, she will become more and more accustomed to it in the future.

After using the meal, she mentioned that she would go to the Guo family with her husband and wife.

Of course, Zhao Chen couldn't ask for it. After all, he was his biological aunt, and he didn't want his aunt to hate him. The aunt in his memory just didn't like laughing, and it wasn't that she didn't like him.

Back at Wangzhuxuan, Zhao Chen immediately started writing a prayer letter. The An Wang Mansion wrote it quickly, and the Guo family, who had a little thought before he could write it.
To be continued...
