Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Early June.

The weather gradually became warmer, and the young ladies in the capital also changed into light summer clothes.

Within a month, the impact of the flood gradually subsided, and many refugees who had fled to the capital returned to their hometowns.

The situation in Pingyang City was temporarily stabilized, and the officials who went to provide disaster relief also returned to Beijing to report to the emperor.

Chu Mansion.

Chu Xiaoyun leaned on a bench in the pavilion in the garden, supporting her cheek with one hand, looking at the lotus flowers blooming in the pond with boredom, her lips pouting unconsciously.

"It's so boring, the weather is hot and stuffy, and there's nothing fun to do."

"My mother doesn't allow me to eat ice cream."

"I don't know where Chunying went. She said she would secretly bring me some chilled fruit, but now she's nowhere to be found."

People just can't stand being nagged.

As soon as I mentioned Chunying, she ran over with her skirt lifted up.

Chu Xiaoyun quickly stood up from the bench and asked her in a low voice:

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did mother find out? Is she behind you?"

"Look at my skirt and see if it's messy. I can't let my mother find out that I'm sitting in an untidy manner, or she'll nag me again."

Chunying ran to Chu Xiaoyun, took a deep breath, and shook her head:

"No, the lady didn't come."

Chu Xiaoyun heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Chunying again, and asked in confusion:

"Since mother didn't come, why are you in such a hurry and why didn't you bring any fruit back?"

Chunying then remembered that she had forgotten something, but she was still very excited:

"Miss, Miss Yin asked you to meet at Shidinglou."

"Qianqian asked me out?"

Chu Xiaoyun was a little puzzled, "Why didn't she come to the mansion to find me directly?"

Before Chunying could answer, Chu Xiaoyun smiled and patted her back, saying with a smile:

"You don't have to be in such a hurry to ask her out. Look at you, you can hardly breathe. It's so hot, don't get a heat stroke."

"Drink some water and take it easy."

Chu Xiaoyun poured her another glass of water.

Chunying drank the water and raised her round face:

"Miss, you are so kind."

After she calmed down, Chunying looked around, approached Chu Xiaoyun cautiously, and whispered in her ear:

"Miss, Master Meng has returned to the capital."

Brother Wenjin!

Chu Xiaoyun was immediately delighted, and then heard Chunying continue:

"This is what Miss Yin specifically told me when she sent the message. She made an appointment with you and said this... As soon as I thought of it, I dared to come and report to you immediately."

Indeed, from what he said, it seems that...

Chu Xiaoyun blushed, "Chunying, let's go find mother."

She had to tell her mother before leaving the house. With Yin Qian as an excuse, she should be able to go out.

Thinking of the person she hadn't seen for several months, Chu Xiaoyun quickened her pace.

When she reached her mother's room, she slowed down, tidied her messy clothes, and went in.

In the main room, Chu's mother was looking at the account book. After looking at it for a long time, she closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead to relieve her fatigue.

Upon seeing this, Chu Xiaoyun quietly walked in, then stood behind her and massaged her shoulders with her hands.

"Mother, if you are tired, take a rest. If there are many account books left, your daughter will stay and look at them with you for a while."

Chu's mother originally felt the force on her shoulders was a bit stiff, but soon she relaxed, opened her eyes, and put one hand on Chu Xiaoyun's hand.

"That's all I need. I don't need you."

"You, just take a good rest at home. You will be busy after you marry into the Meng family."

Anyway, my daughter is naturally smart and has learned everything she should learn.

It’s better to let her relax during the last few days at home.

Chu Xiaoyun knew her mother's good intentions, but when she heard about getting married, she couldn't help but draw out her voice and said:

"Mom, what are you talking about? I want to stay at home and spend more time with you and dad, and I don't want to get married so soon."

Mother Chu felt it was sweet, but she said:

"Really? Then what about your brother Wenjin?"

"Mother~~~~"

Chu Xiaoyun felt a little embarrassed and annoyed by the teasing, so she stopped pressing her shoulders and squatted beside Chu's mother, putting her head on her legs and acting coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, you're already this old, but you're still acting like a child."

Mother Chu smiled and shook her head.

"Tell me, what are you looking for me for now?"

She still didn't understand her daughter's personality. She was well-behaved in front of outsiders, but in front of people close to her, she was a spoiled child who couldn't stand her temper.

I had just restrained her from eating the cool and refreshing Sushan in the morning, so logically I must be angry with her now.

If there is nothing going on, why would I come to her on my own initiative?

When she mentioned the purpose of her visit, Chu Xiaoyun bit her lip and pretended to be normal:

"Mom, Qianqian asked me to go to Shidinglou to play."

Chu's mother never interfered with the play between the little sisters.

but……

Older gingers are more spicy.

Mother Chu looked at her daughter who thought she had covered up well:

Her fair cheeks were flushed with an alluring powder as if she had put on makeup, and she was rubbing the handkerchief with both hands, obviously looking like a little girl who was going to meet her lover.

Meet your lover?

Mother Chu thought for a moment and then thought of the news her husband had told her a few days ago:

Pingyang City has stabilized, and the officials who went to provide disaster relief are on their way back to Beijing.

Calculating the distance and time, they should indeed return to Beijing today.

Especially since the person who came to play with her daughter was Yin Qian, who was almost regarded as the cousin of Meng's biological daughter and Meng Wenjin's biological sister.

Taking all the signs together, it was obvious that Meng Wenjin must have returned and asked her daughter to meet him in the name of her younger sister.

However, the news of the official's return to the capital had not yet spread. It was thought that Meng Wenjin came to find his daughter as soon as he reported the situation to the emperor.

Mother Chu should be happy that her daughter and son-in-law have a deep relationship.

But she thought of an old story and a sad look appeared on her brow.

The Marquis and his wife of Yongding were not good people. Even though what happened more than ten years ago was buried, those of them who had never left the capital knew something about it.

Twins are an ominous sign, but most families simply separate the two children and take good care of them.

Which family is like the Yongding Marquis Mansion? Not only did they ignore another child, but they also had no reaction at all after the child was burned to death.

They didn't even bother to collect the body and bury it peacefully. You can imagine how much they value power and interests over relationships.

If his daughter had not seen Wen Jin fall into the water and asked someone to save her, she would have become his savior.

If the Yongding Marquis's Mansion immediately asked the late emperor for permission to marry, she would never agree to this marriage.

However, the Marquis' Mansion is not a good place, and Meng Wenjin is indeed a good child.

It is not unacceptable that he is a good person, loves and cares for his daughter, and is capable and can protect his daughter in front of her parents.

After all, we only have one daughter. If she is wronged, it is not impossible for my family to seek justice for her.

Forget it, the child is grown up, they love each other, and I don’t want to break up my daughter’s marriage.

"Go ahead, remember to bring Chunying with you, and come back early."

"I got it."

Having gotten her mother's promise, Chu Xiaoyun was extremely happy and she quickly went out like a nimble little swallow.
