Chapter 843 No More Hiding, the Duke of Guo Appears!
Shao Wanru laughed silently in the wall and pushed away Chu Liuchen's arms. His face turned red because he was leaning into Chu Liuchen's arms.
"What are you laughing at!" Chu Liuchen let go of his hand and let her stand beside him, asking in confusion.
"It's nothing!" Shao Wanru shook her head. Of course she wouldn't tell Chu Liuchen. She was very willing to see the expression on Mrs. Tai's face that she didn't want to be angry.
No need for Shao Wanru to say anything, Chu Liuchen also knew why Shao Wanru was laughing. He stretched out his hand and flicked Shao Wanru's forehead, and then said in distress: "Time passes too slowly!"
"Your Highness has something urgent to do!" Shao Wanru reached out to cover his forehead, looking at Chu Liuchen with watery eyes, and said dissatisfied.
"Of course there is. I'm not young anymore. I haven't married a princess yet, so I can't sleep at night!" Chu Liuchen said with a serious smile.
Shao Wanru's face turned red, so red that he almost bleeded. This man's face was indeed getting thicker and thicker. He could even say this. The mysterious elegance he had when they first met was gone. Now Is this person really the King Chen he saw?
"My lord, it's getting late, you should go back early!" Shao Wanru said with a blush as he stretched out his hand to push Chu Liuchen.
Seeing that she was so shy but pretending not to understand, Chu Liuchen laughed and reached out to take Shao Wanru's hand again. This time, Shao Wanru was on guard and stepped back, with his little hand behind his back. .
"When will you return to the palace with me?" Chu Liuchen said with a smile, looking at the shy girl in front of him, and became more and more happy.
"Your Majesty, please go. Grandma has something to do with me!" Shao Wanru was so thin-skinned that he couldn't resist at this moment and gave him a cute look.
"Okay, okay. When I go back, my life is miserable. I just throw it away after being used!" Chu Liuchen shook his head, looking helpless.
Seeing this, Shao Wanru blushed even more. Isn't this person getting more and more bottomless now?
"Do you want me to send you back?" Seeing that she was so embarrassed that she was too embarrassed to look at him, Chu Liuchen stopped as soon as she agreed, changed the topic, and asked with a smile.
"No, you go back first, I'll be there in a minute!" Shao Wanru shook his head and said angrily.
"Really? It's actually very useful for me as a flower protector. Do you want to use it?" Chu Liuchen asked.
Seeing his serious nonsense, Shao Wanru felt that if he continued reading, he might be tempted to take action.
He stretched out his hand and turned him around: "Your Majesty, please go back first. I have something else to do, so I won't see you off!"
With that said, Chu Liuchen pushed hard and took a few steps. Then he turned his head and asked with a bit of confusion, "Is this king really no longer needed?"
The smile in his eyes almost overflowed. Shao Wanru bit his lip, feeling that he was indeed wrong just now. The person in front of him was still the extremely evil His Highness King Chen.
Seeing that Shao Wanru was silent and just staring, Chu Liuchen stopped teasing her and said with a smile: "Then I'm leaving!"
"My lord, go slowly, I won't see you off!" Shao Wanru pursed her lips slightly, stamped her feet and said angrily.
"Okay, I will leave now. Do you want to know about Miss Zhao?" Chu Liuchen narrowed his eyes and stopped teasing her.
"Yes!" Shao Wanru thought for a moment, but already made a decision.
What happened today, Miss Zhao, was too calm, as calm as a bystander, which made Shao Wanru feel very strange. No matter how she looked at it, Miss Zhao didn't look like a bride who was about to marry in. No matter what Whether it was facing the Madam or herself, she didn't have the slightest bit of shyness of a newlywed, she was so down-to-earth and generous!
In other words, it's not generous, it's just an indifferent attitude?
I heard that my eldest brother was very much in love with Miss Zhao, and it was because of these two people that they finally succeeded after delaying for so long.
I originally thought that Miss Zhao must be like this. She must have been entangled with Shao Huaan for three years, and she finally succeeded. Shao Wanru didn't believe it if there was no affection between the two.
But now it doesn't seem to be what I imagined, so why? The position of the crown prince’s wife?
Shao Wanru didn't think about it for a while. After Chu Liuchen left, she thought about it for a while. Because she didn't know Zhao Xiran well, she couldn't think of it for a while. She could only wait for Chu Liuchen to send Zhao Xiran's information and read it. , I no longer thought about it now, and took Yujie to the Spring Hall Courtyard of Mrs. Tai.
She also had to go back to Madam Tai to tell her that Chu Liuchen had gone back.
When they arrived at Mrs. Tai's place, Mrs. Tai was sitting in the main room drinking tea quietly. She heard Shao Wanru coming over and waved her hand to let her in.
Shao Wanru came in and bowed to Mrs. Tai, then sat down on one side.
"Your eldest brother's yard was burned down. This matter has something to do with your second sister. Speaking of which, it is also my fault. Your second sister should not have been locked up in that yard to copy some women's rings. Otherwise, this would not have happened. Things, let this be like this now, I will punish your second sister, there are many courtyards in the mansion, I just thought about it, Qiuhui Courtyard, which is relatively close to your place, is good, what do you think?"
Qiuhui Courtyard is actually not too close to Shao Wanru's yard, but it is located on the edge of the big house. It can be said to be the yard of the big house, or it can be said to be the yard of the second house.
"I feel good too!" Shao Wanru said softly.
Shao Huaan's last courtyard was originally planned to be burned by the dowager, so she chose an inconspicuous one. Now it would not be wronged for Shao Huaan if it were not Quhuan Courtyard. Although Xingguo Gongfu simply divided the big houses into The location and the location of the second and third bedrooms are actually not so clearly defined. This yard cannot be said to be definitely for a larger room. I have no reason to object, and I can't object.
It's just me and Hao'er who are the eldest. Hao'er is still living in the mansion of the eldest princess. With so much free space, there is no reason to object. Now the head of the household is the second eldest brother. Strictly speaking, as my niece, she is actually living under someone else's roof. .
Since this matter must be dealt with, and it must be dealt with, Shao Wanru didn't say much.
Mrs. Tai was quite satisfied with Shao Wanru's knowledge. After asking a few more questions about what Chu Liuchen had just said, she let her go back.
Shao Wanru came out of the Taifu's courtyard and went to Piaoyun Courtyard. What happened next was not his responsibility.
Time is very tight, but I believe that the madam has also prepared early, or not only the madam is prepared, but also her second uncle who has never seen the dragon, has also prepared early, and what is burned should not be good. , and other things that have been prepared long ago are naturally arranged quickly.
However, there will be no more affairs of his own in the future. After such an incident, at least before getting married, there will be no more plotting against Quhuan Yuan. Especially today, Chu Liuchen specifically said those words. Mrs. Tai and Even if Shao Jing had another idea, he would have to make new plans at this time.
"Fifth Miss, please come over, Mr. Guo!" As soon as they reached an intersection, they saw a woman coming in a hurry. Shao Wanru was surprised to come up and salute.
"Second uncle is looking for me?" Shao Wanru said in surprise.
Chu Liuchen did go to Shao Jing's yard just now, but he didn't go there himself. If he had to ask, he shouldn't ask himself. Wouldn't it be better to ask Mrs. Tai and Shao Caihuan?
"Yes, it's the Fifth Miss. The Duke has something to ask the Fifth Miss. Please come and come!" the mother-in-law said with a smile.
Shao Wanru nodded, turned in one direction and walked towards the outer courtyard, while casually asking: "When did the second uncle come back, and did he bump into His Highness King Chen?"
Chu Liuchen didn't say anything just now, and she didn't ask whether the two of them had met.
"The Duke has just come back, and he didn't meet His Royal Highness King Chen." The old woman answered neatly, and she seemed to be a smart person at first glance.
Shao Wanru was silent and followed her mother-in-law to the outer courtyard. Instead of going to Shao Jing's courtyard, she went to Shao Jing's other study. In the past, when Shao Jing came to see Shao Wanru for something, he would always stay in this study.
At the door of the study, the mother-in-law asked Shao Wanru to wait for a moment, then went in to report. Not long after, Shao Wanru was summoned inside.
Behind the large desk in the study, Shao Jing sat there with a majestic expression, looking at Shao Wanru with a careful look. Did he really underestimate his niece?
Shao Wanru stepped forward to salute, and then stood aside with his head lowered.
"Sit down first!" Shao Jing said gently.
Shao Wanru nodded, sat down on the chair on the side, put his hands on his knees, and rubbed the handkerchief in his hands tangledly. It was obvious that he was not in a calm mood.
Shao Jing's eyes also fell on her hands. Seeing the movements in her hands, he knew that she could not calm down at this time, and the smile on her face became more and more kind: "I heard that people from Zhao Shangshu's house are coming today. But are you embarrassing our family?"
Shao Wanru didn't think she had to tell her this matter, but since Shao Jing said it, she had to answer. She nodded and said softly: "It's not a big deal, I just talked for a while, and grandma just made the decision I used Qiuhui Courtyard as a wedding room for my eldest brother!"
Of course Shao Jing understood what Qiu Huiyuan meant. He looked at Shao Wanru again with his eyes calmly. From this niece, he really couldn't see how fierce he was. Is it really all because of King Chen?
His Highness, King Chen, cares so much about Shao Wanru?
"This yard is nice. When I was young, your father and I lived together, but it has been vacant ever since." Shao Jing sighed softly, with a trace of peace in his eyes. His already blessed appearance made him It gives people a gentle feeling, which makes people feel more and more favorable at this time.
It’s hard for people to believe that such a person is evil-minded!
But people should never be judged by their appearance. Shao Wanru lowered his head slightly to hide the coldness in his eyes, as if thinking of his father, he was infinitely sentimental.
"Speaking of it, this yard is also your father's yard. Now that you have given it to your eldest brother, the second uncle always has to compensate you. Originally, when you were getting married, the house also had to give you some dowry. Then I will give you two more. Come on, after all, I feel guilty towards you." Shao Jing sighed lightly.
"Second uncle, it doesn't have to be like this. The mansion gave me a lot originally, so there is no need for more." Shao Wanru refused softly. This is true, because the previous eldest princess's strength made this dowry rejuvenate the country. The government does not dare to be greedy anymore.
Most of it fell into my own hands, and some of the things that were not implemented were made up with money. Even if some of them were missing, it looked like they would be made up.
Why did Shao Jing bring up the dowry at this time? Isn't it something he has always avoided...
