Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1041

As soon as the words "give someone your head" fell, as if to fit the occasion, a thunderbolt struck. The sky was covered with dark clouds and a strong wind blew.

Before the two of them ran back to Tinglan Courtyard, raindrops began to fall heavily, soaking everyone's head and body.

Bei Hui was holding an umbrella and rushing out to meet someone. She was shouting from a distance, "Hong Que, prepare hot water for the young master and his wife to come back and take a bath. I'm afraid they are all soaked by now..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw two drowned rats coming back.

Their wife hid under the young master's armpit and was almost dragged back. This umbrella... no need to bother with it.

Bei Hui smiled and put the umbrella next to the pillar, then welcomed the lady over and used a handkerchief to twist her hair.

By the time An Xia came out of the shower, Cen Yuan had already gone out to do something busy.

Shi Anxia asked, "Did the young master tell you anything when he left?"

Hong Que replied, "Yes, the young master said he would not be back for dinner tonight, and told Madam not to wait."

"This guy is really busy." Shi Anxia looked at herself in the mirror and gathered her hair. "Hongque, make a flowing bun for me."

"Madam, do you have to meet guests today?" Hong Que asked while her hands were already deftly tying her hair.

Shi Anxia responded lazily, "Some people, it's time to deal with them."

As the master and servant were talking, Bei Hui came in and said, "Madam, the mother Zeng you asked someone to invite is already waiting in the side hall."

Shi Anxia nodded, "Then go to the Marquis' Mansion and bring Dongxi over."

Bei Hui went away as requested.

Hearing this, Hong Que leaned over and asked carefully, "Madam, how are you going to deal with Dong Xi?"

Shi Anxia asked back, "If I were to sell her out, or beat her to death, would you think I was cruel and ruthless?"

Hong Que thought about it and shook his head, "Selling out for fame, nothing the master does is excessive."

She only found out about Dong Xi's betrayal a few days ago. At first, she didn't believe it. She thought the girl looked honest and hardworking. Why was she so depressed?

Their wives are so nice. Didn't Dongxi say earlier that she would be like them and be loyal to her wives for life? But now she turned around and betrayed her master. Alas, how could this happen? It's a pity that she gave away many small gifts.

Suddenly, she remembered that people often talked about her charming face, saying that she was definitely a bed-climbing type. After hearing this kind of talk so many times, she couldn't help but worry that her master would have some ideas.

She panicked and opened her eyes wide, "Madam, Hong Que will not abandon you."

Shi Anxia raised her head and stretched out her hand to gently pinch her face, "Silly girl, we Hongque are naturally not the kind of people who would sell out our masters."

Hong Que lowered her head, "Madam... you must have heard people say that Hong Que is restless. You must believe Hong Que."

"Look at you, you ignored my words again, didn't you?" Shi Anxia looked at her with pretended anger, "Am I such a suspicious person?"

Hong Que's eyes were red. "Someone said something very unpleasant."

"But the people in our Young Master's Mansion are gossiping?"

Hong Que shook his head, "No."

"Is that someone from our mansion?"

Hong Que shook his head, "Not really."

Shi Anxia smiled gently, "That's right. You can't control other people's mouths. Just do your own thing." She stood up and said, "Let's go, follow me to see Zeng's mother who I haven't seen for many days."

In the side hall, Zeng's mother was pacing around the room like an ant on hot pan.
