After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

When Mr. Zhao received the ladder, he suppressed the anger on his face, turned to look at his wife, raised his hand and held Mother Zhao's hand: "This is the only way to do it. I'll leave this matter to you, Madam."

Mother Zhao smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Master? This is also my duty, isn't it?"

The two people above were chatting and laughing with each other, but the looks they gave Zhao Chanjuan were equally full of calculations, without a trace of sincerity.

Feeling the two people's stares, Zhao Chanjuan felt no wavering in her heart. After all, she had expected such a situation, right?

Since she was a child, she knew the meaning of her existence in this family, so she went with the flow and married Chen Wenhan, which was the best choice among her limited candidates.

A cool breeze blew through the room at night, but it couldn't warm any of the family's hearts.

At the same time, the Prime Minister's Mansion

The Prime Minister's wife's expression changed as soon as she returned home. At this moment, she was no longer the gentle, kind and amiable person that everyone usually described her as. She was simply full of sinisterness, which made people shudder.

She sat down on the chair, looking angrily at the people who had already knelt down below: "What the hell is going on!!"

The two maids kneeling below were now pale, with cold sweat pouring down their foreheads. When they heard the questions coming from above, they trembled all over and their minds went blank.

He could only kowtow and apologize: "Madam, we really don't know how Xu Qingqing got into the room and came out safely!"

"Yes! Yes! Madam, I really saw Xu Qingqing enter the room, and I was the one who even closed the door. I really don't know what happened to her!"

"Everything from beginning to end was handled by the two of us..." When the maid said this, her expression changed and she couldn't help but kneel down and crawl forward two steps.

"Madam, it must be that Xu Qingqing who is deliberately making trouble for us, madam!"

……

No matter how the two men explained below, the Prime Minister's wife, who was sitting above, looked at them with eyes that were completely cold.

"Take it away and don't come back."

"Yes!"

The rest of the people on the side stepped forward and dragged the two people out of the house. The two maids looked panicked and terrified, and kept shouting.

"Madam! Please spare me, madam!"

"Madam, please forgive me this time for my many years of service, Madam!!"

The Prime Minister's wife watched the two men struggling, begging, and roaring with cold eyes, her expression showing no change.

Since things can't be done well, there's no need to keep these two people. What's the point of keeping them? To give them as witnesses to others?

There were screams of two maids outside, but they disappeared after a while.

Chen Shuhan and his father were just coming back from outside at this time. When they saw Chen's mother sitting upstairs, their faces looked very ugly when they thought about what happened during the day.

The servants around were tactful and left on their own accord, leaving the three of them in the room.

Chen Shuhan knelt consciously in the middle of the room.

Silence spread among the three people.

Father Chen looked at his son below for a long time, then he sighed and said, "Now that things have come to this, Shuhan can only marry Miss Zhao."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuhan and his mother were both shocked: "Master!"

"father!"

Father Chen raised his hand: "I know what you want to say."

"But things have come to this. If you don't want to marry Miss Zhao, then where is your reputation for the Zhao family?!"

"The Zhao family originally wanted to cling to our Prime Minister's Mansion. Now that they have such a big excuse, it will be difficult to get rid of them!"

"If they spread the word, not only will Shuhan's career be ruined, but the face of our Prime Minister's Mansion will also be lost."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuhan looked at his father above and began to argue: "But Dad, this matter was originally a conspiracy against my son..."

Before he could finish, Chen's father threw the teacup in his hand next to Chen Shuhan, and the tea in the cup splashed all over Chen Shuhan.

"Did you see that? You didn't get the tea on your body by yourself, but since it's on you, it's your stain!!"

"Yellow mud falling off your crotch, it's either shit or shit!!"

"Now you're saying that you were being schemed against. Aren't you just trying to scheme against others and end up reaping the consequences?!"

Father Chen glared and scolded, looking at his son below, feeling very disappointed with him.

Chen's mother, who was standing by, also had a bad look on her face. She knew that this was also Chen's father's way of criticizing her, saying that she was stupid and yet still schemed against others, and that she was harming her own son.

When Chen's mother thought of Xu Qingqing, her hatred for her intensified and she wished she could peel off her skin and remove her bones.

On Freedom

"Ah!"

"Qingqing, are you okay? You didn't catch a cold, did you?" He Anran said as he touched Xu Qingqing's forehead. He breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the normal temperature of his palm.

Xu Qingqing let He Anran touch her, but she knew that if she didn't let He Anran touch her, He Anran would definitely not feel at ease.

"I guess someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion is scolding me." As he said this, He Anran raised a malicious smile on his face.

He Anran was also an insider, and when he heard this, he smiled evilly: "I think it must be the prime minister's wife who lost more than she gained, hahaha."

Xiao Yuheng looked at Xu Qingqing who was grinning evilly in front of him, and a smile also appeared in his eyes, but...

"I don't think the Prime Minister's wife is someone who will give up easily. I'm sure she will cause trouble for you later."

Xu Qingqing was not panicked, and looked nonchalant: "Although I am not a bad person, I am not a completely good person either. Since she has stretched out her hand to me, she should be prepared for me to chop her hand off."

"Besides, I still have you, right?" Xu Qingqing looked at Xiao Yuheng who was sitting aside, her eyes full of teasing.

Xiao Yuheng nodded seriously, his smile deepening: "That's absolutely true."

Xu Qingqing looked at the serious look in Xiao Yuheng's eyes, and after a slight pause, the expression on her face also became serious.

As the two looked at each other, information was constantly transmitted as their eyes met.

An indescribable tacit understanding that belonged only to the two of them was transmitted in the air.

He Anran and Wang Dahu looked at each other, both of them felt a little bloated for some reason and shrugged helplessly.

Xiao Yuheng raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Dahu. Wang Dahu felt a chill on his back and quickly put away the expression on his face, hunching his shoulders like a quail.

He Anran covered her mouth and laughed silently.

Xu Qingqing looked out the window. At this moment, the Milky Way stretched across the sky like a brilliant river flowing slowly through the sea of ​​stars.

The moon hangs high in the sky, casting silver light, and the breeze blows gently, filling the night with coolness and tranquility.

"Do you want to go watch the moon?" Xu Qingqing raised her chin to signal Xiao Yuheng.

Xiao Yuheng tilted his head, his eyes were tender, and his tone was gentle: "Just the two of us?"

"Just the two of us."

Xu Qingqing turned around and looked at him.

Xiao Yuheng raised the corner of his mouth, reached out and embraced Xu Qingqing in his arms.
