Poor Family

In the confidante's private room, Shi Fuxin had lunch with Jin Yue'e, and in the afternoon she read the recent accounts, and didn't return to the palace until evening.

As soon as she came back, Mother Leng came up to greet her and told her: "The third master has been waiting for madam in the room all afternoon."

Shi Fuxin said 'oh' in surprise: "Really, where is the third master now?"

Mother Leng: "Madam hasn't come back for a long time, the third master went to the main courtyard, saying that he wants to have dinner with the princess."

Shi Fuxin heard it, and said directly: "Since the third master has gone to the main courtyard for dinner, then I will eat alone tonight."

Seeing Shi Fuxin went straight into the inner room to change clothes, she had no intention of going to the main courtyard to have dinner with Chu Yao, Mother Leng followed quickly: "Madam is still angry with the third master?"

Shi Fuxin laughed out loud: "I'm not angry, how can I be angry so much?" Seeing that Nanny Leng wanted to say something, she waved her hand, "I know what Nanny is thinking, don't worry, I will so you don't torture yourself."

Not to mention that Chu Yao's breaking the appointment this time was not intentional, even if he did it on purpose, she would not make her mood fluctuate because of others, and make herself feel guilty.

Chu Yao is not the only one in her life, without Chu Yao, she can still do many things, why should she hold on to one thing?

People, within the controllable range, you still have to make yourself happy.

Seeing that Shi Fuxin really didn't take what happened in the morning to heart, Mother Leng was still a little hesitant.

When Shi Fuxin saw it, she was puzzled: "Is there something else for Mammy?"

Mother Leng hesitated for a moment and said: "It's understandable for the third master to accompany the princess to have dinner, but there is a cousin girl beside the princess."

As soon as Shi Fuxin heard it, she knew what Nanny Leng was worried about, and immediately said with a smile: "If Chu Yao likes Biao girl, I have nothing to do with it."

Nurse Leng shook her head: "Ma'am, the cousin is an orphan girl, she must not be the wife of the third master." After a pause, "According to the age of the cousin, she should have been married to someone else long ago, but there has been no movement , maybe, she has other thoughts about the third master?"

Shi Fuxin was silent for a while: "It's not a good thing to be a concubine? I see Cousin Guan's temperament, and she is also proud."

Mother Leng: "That's the reason, but if you can't find a good husband's family, for the cousin girl, it's better to stay in the palace, at least she was raised by the princess, and the princess loves her very much. Grandpa still has the affection of growing up together."

Shi Fuxin saw that Nanny Leng had said so much in one breath today, so she looked over immediately: "What did you hear, Nanny?"

Sister Leng nodded solemnly: "The third master doesn't like to go back to the mansion, and he didn't even look at the concubines given by the old concubine and the prince. The situation of the eldest son and the second master is like that. If the third master wants to leave an heir Do you have to think of other ways?"

Shi Fuxin frowned.

Mother Leng glanced at Shi Fuxin's face: "The old prince, old princess, and the prince and princess may be really anxious. This old servant is watching, the princess already has plans to match the third master and the cousin girl."

Otherwise, every time the third master is at home, he will call people to the main courtyard, and every time the cousin girl will serve him attentively.

Shi Fuxin said mockingly: "Wangfei really doesn't understand her son, no, she shouldn't say she doesn't understand, she doesn't want to understand at all, she just thinks that she is the one who gave birth to Chu Yao, and Chu Yao should listen to it." her words."

"Let's just wait and see, mother, the more active the people in the palace are, the more reluctant Chu Yao will be."

Mother Leng was not as big-hearted as Shi Fuxin: "Ma'am, do we really not care about this matter?"

Shi Fuxin: "Whatever it is, the matter is undecided now, and the rights and interests of my third wife have not been affected. Now it is Chu Yao who is fighting the game with his family. I will only cause trouble if I intervene."

paused.

"After Chu Yao became the commander of the Supervision Department, the number of times he returned to the palace has obviously increased. What does this mean?"

"It means that no matter how much he dislikes people in the palace, deep down in his heart, he still wants to get the attention of everyone in the palace."

"Maybe for him, fighting against the people in the palace is a very fulfilling thing."

"If I really do something and ruin his sense of accomplishment, what will he think of me? Nine times out of ten, he will think that I am in the way."

"I'm just his wife. Before the people in the palace mess with me, I just need to take good care of Rong'an Yuan."

After hearing these words, Mother Leng did not speak.

It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

To be honest, celebrating the new year in the palace is not as lively as in Shi's.

There are many people, but they all have their own thoughts.

Shi Fuxin looked at the people from the palace gathered together, and could clearly feel the hypocrisy of everyone.

False happiness, false play.

They seem to be just completing a task, no one really puts their heart into it.

Regarding this, Shi Fuxin only felt that she might as well go back to sleep.

From then until the Lantern Festival, the palace lived like this. It seemed to be full of joy and excitement, but very few people really enjoyed the New Year.

Shi Fuxin was actually very puzzled, and Chu Yao was fine, after all, he was neglected and mistreated since he was a child, and it was normal for him to have no sense of belonging.

But Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao, one was favored by the old prince and concubine, and the other was protected by the king of Rongjun, they didn't have much affection for the palace.

Chu Xuan gave her a feeling of being pure-hearted and ascetic, while Chu Zhao was a bit extreme, a bit like a bomb, and he liked to beat people when he was unhappy.

Three months after marrying into the palace, she heard no less than ten cases of Chu Zhao being whipped and sent off, even Tang Shan seemed to have been slapped by him.

All in all, none of the three Chu Yao brothers felt normal.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Chu Yao came over to have breakfast with Shi Fuxin: "Well, I'll accompany you to see the lanterns today."

After Shi Fuxin heard this, she didn't show a particularly happy expression, but looked at him: "Sister-in-law thinks I like watching lanterns?"

Chu Yao froze for a moment, then asked, "Don't you like it?"

Shi Fuxin: "Did you ask me if I like it?"

Chu Yao pursed his lips and said nothing.

Shi Fuxin smiled again and asked, "What if I have an appointment today?"

Chu Yao looked at her: "I didn't accompany you to Meilin Valley last time, are you still angry?"

Shi Fuxin shook her head: "What happened last time has passed, we only talk about what happened today."

Chu Yao: "What about today?"

Shi Fuxin nodded: "I know you want to accompany me today, but I hope that if my husband wants to do something with me in the future, he can ask for my opinion first."

"In case I don't like watching lanterns, it's useless for you to accompany me."

"At the same time, I may also have something temporary, just like the last time Brother Eleven came to you suddenly."

"If I abandon my own business to accompany you, I think I will feel a sense of sacrifice. If I don't accompany you, you probably won't be happy."

Chu Yao frowned: "So, what do you want to say?"

Shi Fuxin: "I just want you to seek my opinion before making any decisions about 'me and you', and don't have an attitude that you can do whatever you think."

"I hope that when the two of us are together, both of us are happy, and neither sacrifices anything because of the other."

Chu Yao is also a person who doesn't like to be restrained. After hearing Shi Liu's words, she felt that she was hypocritical and troublesome, and she also liked to make a fuss, so she remained silent.

Shi Fuxin saw it, and said with a smile: "Before you marry me, you should know that I am not the kind of woman who regards her husband as her god. Even if I am your wife, I don't have to cooperate with you."

Chu Yao looked a little bad: "You are taking revenge on my missed appointment last time, aren't you?"

Shi Fuxin was speechless: "You didn't understand me, I just want you to respect me and get along well with you."

"I know that you will not accommodate me, and at the same time, I also know that I will not accommodate you."

"Could it be that we won't get along in the future?"

Chu Yao blurted out and wanted to say, 'Wives should accommodate their husbands', but when the words came to his lips, he remembered who Shi Liu was, and immediately swallowed the words back, changing to: "I am your husband."

Shi Fuxin: "I know, it's because you are my husband that I tell you this."

Chu Yao: "Why can't you put me first?"

Shi Fuxin: "Because no one can accommodate others forever, and besides, you didn't accommodate me, did you?"

Chu Yao didn't want to just bow his head like this, so he said forcefully: "Do you want to see the lantern?"

Shi Fuxin replied directly: "Then do you want to promise me?"

Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin, stood up at once, shook his sleeves, and left directly.

Nanny Leng and An Ran watched from the sidelines, both in a hurry, as soon as Chu Yao left, she hurriedly said to Shi Fuxin: "Why does Madam push the third master away?"

Shi Fuxin's expression was light: "I don't, I'm just discussing how to get along with Chu Yao." As she spoke, she looked at the two with a smile, "Don't worry, even if Chu Yao isn't with me, I will take you to see the lantern of."

Mother Leng was a little helpless: "Madam, men are always soft-hearted and hard-working."

Shi Fuxin disagreed: "This method is okay to occasionally adjust the relationship, but it won't work when used in daily relationship."

As he said that, his eyes drooped, "I married a partner who is equal and mutual help, not an ancestor. If Chu Yao wants to be taller than me, that's not acceptable. This bottom line must be revealed from the very beginning."

"Okay, let's get ready for the carriage to see the lanterns."

On the other side, Chu Yao was sitting in the study angrily, thinking about Shi Fuxin's words just now, while rubbing his forehead with a headache.

At this moment, she is different from ordinary ladies, but she doesn't have to be independent in everything.

What do you mean "anything" about "her and me" has to be discussed with her?

Chu Yao felt that he was bound!

Although some of Shi Liu's words were quite reasonable, but he, who was used to seeing husbands giving orders to his wife, felt that Shi Liu's proposal was very awkward.

If he agreed in this way, wouldn't he be bowing his head to her?

But Chu Yao knew clearly that Shi Fuxin didn't want to cooperate with him, and she really dared to do that.

Chu Yao stayed in the study for a long time, and when he was still hesitating whether to accompany Shi Fuxin to see the lanterns, Suifeng came over and told him that his wife had left the house.

This made Chu Yao so angry that he hurried out of the house.

However, instead of chasing after Shi Fuxin, he went to find Chu Qian.

"Hey, today is the Lantern Festival, why are you still so dark?"

Chu Qian smiled and looked at Chu Yao, who started to drink alcohol as soon as he arrived, and asked curiously, "Who messed with you? The old concubine and the others are making trouble with you again?"

Chu Yao raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and shook his head after a moment of silence.

Chu Qian was surprised: "If it's not them, who else could it be? Now that you are the commander of the Supervision Department, who would dare to provoke you?"

Seeing Chu Yao pouring wine one after another, Chu Qian thought of something, excitedly said: "Could it be younger siblings?" As he spoke, he clapped his hands together, "It must be younger siblings."

Chu Qian quickly sat down beside Chu Yao, and nudged him with his elbow: "Tell Brother Eleven quickly, did you guys quarrel?"

Chu Yao glanced at him: "No."

Chu Qian became even more excited: "If you didn't quarrel like this, how can it be okay if you quarrel?" He patted Chu Yao's shoulder, "Brother, you can't do this, you will be depressed! "

Chu Yao frowned and said firmly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Chu Qian glanced at his mouth quietly, and began to teach Chu Yao his experience: "Brother Yao, Brother Eleven told you, you can't get used to women. Women are all Mu Qiang's, the more you behave The stronger you are, the more they will like you."

After hearing this, Chu Yao couldn't believe it.

Shi Liu even asked him to discuss with her when making decisions, how could he still be strong in front of her?

Seeing that Chu Yao didn't believe it, Chu Qian was a little unhappy: "Your eleventh brother, I have a lot of experience in women. If you don't believe me, you can try it as I say."

Chu Yao: "How to try?"

Chu Qian smiled: "Where is the strength of a man?"

Chu Yao thought of something, and his ears turned red.

Seeing him, Chu Qian knew that Chu Yao had misunderstood what he meant, and immediately patted him on the shoulder: "What are you thinking about, although that aspect is also very important, but a man's face is achieved by power."

"You have to show your strength in this aspect to your siblings!"

After hearing this, Chu Yao was thoughtful.

Seeing that he was on the road, Chu Qian was more active in helping out with ideas: "If I were you, I would quietly find someone to embarrass the Shi family, and then ask my younger siblings to beg you to solve this matter, and then she would know how powerful you are." ?”

Chu Yao shook his head instinctively. He still knew a little about Shiliu, and knew that her family members would definitely not be able to move: "No, this can't."

Chu Qian said again: "Siblings and sisters are also human beings. People have desires. There must always be things that she cares about but are not under her control. If you think about it, you will definitely find a way."

"Women all want to be cared for and taken care of. After seeing how powerful you are, how can she not obediently listen to you?"

Hearing these words, Chu Yao felt quite reasonable.

Shiliu's martial arts are quite strong, but living in the capital, relying on force alone is not enough. Besides, who doesn't have family and friends behind him, so he can't really do things without scruples.

Chu Yao rubbed his chin, thinking seriously about Fuxin's method when taking off and surrendering.

Although he married Shiliu because he admired her boldness, it didn't mean that he wanted to be a man with a weak husband!

What does Shi Liu care about?

Chu Yao's eyes suddenly brightened. Apart from her family, Hong Yanxiao puts the most energy into Shiliu.

Now that Hongyanxiao has branches all over the provinces of Dachu, it is still very easy to find out some problems, and he can directly find out what happened to Shi Liuqiu without him having to do anything secretly.
