After Giving Way To My Husband’s Sweetheart

Chapter 20 Jealousy

 As soon as Wang Jia left, Love's smile towards Sima Chao also disappeared.

Sima Chao was full of doubts and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to go out with me to relax?"

Love replied: "I'm going to visit Chu Ge later. How can I have time to accompany you?"

After saying that, the little girl twisted her waist, abandoned Sima Chao, and walked out with only her maid.

　　She was still smiling and talking to him when he came back just now, but her face changed again in the blink of an eye?

Sima Chao watched helplessly as Love abandoned him. He frowned and scratched his head and thought for a long time before he thought about it.

 “Cunning!” Sima Chao muttered to himself with a smile on his lips and shook his head helplessly.

Love doesn’t want to compete with others for favor, but that doesn’t mean she can endure the endless bullying from those women who push her even further.

Love did not respond to Lantian's words, but walked back to Wangchun Hall with a calm look, her expression still on her face.

 “Hmph! She’s just the daughter of a criminal, there’s nothing to be frivolous about.”

The three masters and servants were walking back, and happened to meet Rouji in the small garden in the backyard.

When the servants and wives saw Love returning, they began to arrange dinner. A large table full of various delicacies was set up. Even ten Loves could not eat so much. Love made a gesture to Lan Tian and Yu Nuan beside her. With a look, he motioned for them to sit down and enjoy together.

The Sima family is very large, but there are only two brothers, Sima Zhengde and Sima Zhengren, living in the Sima Mansion. Because the wife is still alive, the two brothers do not have separate houses. Sima Zhengde lives in Dongyuan, and Sima Zhengren lives in Dongyuan. Fang Ze lived in Xiyuan. Although they were in the same house, the east and west gardens were far apart. Love walked for half an hour before entering Xiyuan.

Love walked all the way to Sima Chuge's courtyard. Lantian stepped forward and said to the maid guarding the door: "This is the eldest son's wife, Mrs. Luo. She came specially to see the second girl. I also hope that my grandmother can go in and inform her."

Luofu and Sima Chao sat face to face, saying nothing, and just ate separately.

Rouji glanced at Love's cold back, stamped her feet angrily, spat, and walked away angrily. Lan Tian said angrily: "She is just a lowly girl. She dares to be rude in front of Madam. Madam, why should you care about her?"

At that time, Love was really worried about this, but now, it is different.

Love had no choice but to return without success.

Love shook her head and said, "I went out in the middle of the night, and I don't want to go out again now."

In the previous life, in order to consolidate power, the Sima family intermarryed with various aristocratic families. As the eldest son of the Sima family, Sima Chao had countless concubines in the backyard. Not to mention a woman with no foundation like Rouji, who was a prince. There are also many noble daughters from the Gongqing family.

The flowers are beautiful and charming, and they are very eye-catching to look at.

The maids quickly handed over hot towels, set out a new set of tableware, and served Sima Chao to his seat.

After saying that, she left him behind, turned around and went to the inner room, and then ordered to Lantian: "Close the window, the sound of the piano outside makes me have a headache."

You don’t need to think about it to know that it must have been made by the woman named Rou Ji.

 Lov looked slightly angry and put down the jade chopsticks lightly.

Although Rou Ji’s words were soft, they could still fall into Love’s ears.

Rouji Tingting stood under the tree, looked at Love with a pair of watery eyes, and replied: "I am also the legitimate side chamber of the eldest son. Anyone who is respectful or disrespectful should not show off in front of me."

Sure enough, as soon as Luofu took a few mouthfuls, Sima Chao entered the room.

Lan Tian argued with her again, but the woman had indeed received orders from her superiors and did not let them in after all.

 Seventy-nine. One-three-four. One-eight-five. Seventy-five

Lan Tian said firmly: "The eldest son has been staying at Wangchun Hall every day for a while, and today is no exception. Madam, just don't worry."

It can be seen that Sima Zhengren's step-sibling Xie was worried that Sima Chuge would make mistakes before entering the palace, and this was a defensive posture.

Lan Tian was furious and wanted to go forward to argue with her, but was stopped by Love. Love still didn't even look at Rou Ji, so she turned around and left.

His tone was calm, without any wavering.

Lantian's words made sense. Sima Chao could make her wish come true with just one word. Although Love didn't want to ask Sima Chao, she was still a little active for the sake of her cousin.

Love treats Lantian Yunuan very affectionately, not because the two of them are deliberately being pretentious, but because during dinner these days, if Sima Chao has free time, he will always come over to accompany Love. Now that Sima Chao is in the house, the two girls are afraid that if he comes over , it doesn’t look good to be caught.

After dinner, Sima Chao said to Love, "Would you like to go out for a walk to eat?"

 The sound of the flute is melodious, but with a touch of hatred. It sounds like weeping and is heart-wrenching.

Lan Tian knew the inside story. She leaned into Love's ear and suggested: "Now the eldest young master is doting on you and will respond to your requests. If the madam wants to see the second young lady, why not ask the eldest young master to come forward."

Love has already discussed it with her aunt. She came here to persuade Sima Chuge to leave Sima's mansion and fly away. Now that she can't see her, the matter is a bit tricky.

Seeing this, Sima Chao turned to the servant and ordered: "Go and see who is playing the flute outside, and ask her to stop."

Before Love could get angry, Lan Tian turned around and said coldly to Rou Ji: "Bold girl, you are disrespectful to my wife!"

Love shook her head. She was about to ask Sima Chao to ask Sima Chuge out, but the sound of pipa came in from the window again. Love stopped thinking and only replied: "I don't have to see her, either. Now I'm tired and want to settle down early, please do as you please."

Love was not worried about her, but felt that it was not worth getting to know such a woman. She is noble at heart and doesn't bother trying to make herself like those concubines.

Having just finished eating, I heard flute sounds coming from outside. Although the flute sounds were soft, they were clear to my ears.

The old lady first looked at Love up and down, and saw that she was well-dressed and well-behaved. Although she didn't know her specific origin, she could guess that she must be a respectable concubine from Dongyuan. The old lady's attitude was quite respectful. But she politely refused: "Madam, you don't know. Our second young lady is a noble person who will enter the palace soon. Our madam strictly orders the second young lady not to contact outsiders at will, let alone let people in to visit at will. I'm sorry, madam, you Please come back."

But when the charming guest under the flower saw Love, his eyes were filled with deep jealousy, but Love didn't even raise his eyelids and walked straight past her with his maid.

Sima Chao nodded slightly and asked, "Can you see Chu Ge?"

There were less than two months before Sima Chuge entered the palace. Love was anxious. She kept thinking about plans in her mind and walked back absentmindedly.

 The two people quickly declined: "Although it is Madam's kind intention, slaves do not dare to overstep all the time."

“If the eldest young master can come over tonight, I will try to mention it to him.”

The servant girl took the order and left. After a while, the sound of the flute finally stopped.

Lantian glanced secretly at Sima Chao, who was still standing outside, then raised his hand to close all the windows in the room.

Sima Chao sighed slightly and walked out of the house.
