Qingxing's face turned pale when she heard this. Logically, every time the master came back, he would come to Huanfangyuan, but for some reason today, from what Tongfu just said, it seemed that he went to Baozhuxuan?

Isn’t that where Yao lives?

"Master...it seems that Master went to Baozhuxuan?"

"what?!"

_

Xu Zekun did not come to Baozhuxuan on a whim. He had two residences in the mansion. One was his own courtyard, Linfengju. After the county lord got married, she did not like the layout of Linfengju and rebuilt Huanfangyuan.

Apart from these two places, his favorite is Baozhuxuan, simply because Baozhuxuan is quiet. When he is feeling upset, he feels that this place has the effect of purifying his mind.

However, when he arrived today, he felt something was wrong. Although the layout of the pavilion had not changed much, the original bamboo leaf green curtains had turned crimson. In addition to the faint fragrance of bamboo, there was also an indescribable faint scent of a woman in the room, not to mention the step-out bed that was originally not there.

In short, his originally quiet study was completely destroyed!

Yuping followed Yao Susu to Shou'an Hall. At this time, only Yuzhan was in Baozhuxuan.

When she saw Xu Zekun coming, she hurried out to greet him, but at a glance, she could tell that the old man was very angry, and her legs suddenly became weak.

"Greetings to the master."

"Who are you?" A cold and indifferent voice came from above her head. Yuzhan's heart trembled, and she said in a low voice, "My name is Yuzhan, and I was assigned by the old lady to serve Miss Yao."

"Yao Susu?" Xu Zekun vaguely remembered the name of the woman his mother had just mentioned, but he had never expected Yao Susu to actually live here. How dare she?!

"That's right." Yuzhan really wanted to die at this moment. The old man's dark face was really too scary.

At this moment, Yao Susu returned from Shou'an Hall with Yuping.

After Xu Zekun left, Wu was so angry that her chest hurt. She had no intention of saying anything more to Yao Susu and sent her back casually. Unexpectedly, she saw Xu Zekun here.

Yao Susu was delighted at first, but soon realized that the atmosphere was wrong. For one thing, Xu Zekun was standing there like an iceberg, while Yuzhan was kneeling.

There was a hint of panic in her eyes. She walked over in small steps, bowed and saluted: "Greetings, sir."

Xu Zekun was not in a good mood at the moment. He said to Yao Susu coldly, "Who asked you to live here? Do you know that this is my study?"

Xu Zekun was born tall and handsome, but his ashen face at the moment was really scary.

Yao Susu was met with a barrage of accusations, and her face turned pale immediately.

She didn't dare to say anything more, and knelt on the ground and said, "Forgive me, Master. Susu didn't know that this was your study..."

She was afraid and had a delicate nature, so she started crying as she finished speaking. Xu Zekun felt even more choked up as he looked at the weak figure kneeling in front of him.

He was not an irritable person, but he had a lot of anger in his heart that he had no place to vent.

But it seemed unfair to ask this strange and weak woman to bear his anger.

Seeing the tear marks on the bluestone bricks, mixed with the woman's sobs that she dared not speak loudly, Xu Zekun said in a deep voice: "Get up, I will tell my mother to find another yard for you to move out."

After saying this, Xu Zekun left without saying anything else.

After he left, Yuping and Yuzhan were still feeling sympathetic. They helped Yao Susu up and saw that she was also distraught. They couldn't help but persuade her, "Don't mind it, young lady. Although what the master said was severe, he didn't punish us after all."

Yao Susu nodded. Today's meeting with Xu Zekun was really a cold shower for her. She knew how beautiful she was. Before, at home, her beauty was enough to attract proposals from her uncle's family.

Even now that she has come to Beijing, she knows that her appearance is outstanding, just by looking at other people's reactions to her.

But in Xu Zekun's eyes, her beauty played no role at all.

She could see the indifference in those eyes.

Yao Susu's initial optimism completely vanished. What was she to do? She had nothing. Her only bargaining chip was her face.

After Xu Zekun left Baozhuxuan, he did not go to Huanfangyuan, but went to Linfengju.

Fang Yanran knew that Xu Zekun had scolded Yao Susu, and she felt indescribably proud.

What did she say? Wu went to great lengths to find a beauty, but Xu Zekun wouldn't even look at her!

Qing Xing advised, "Master has been away for half a month. When he comes back, there is no one to accompany him. Why don't you go to Linfengju and invite him back?"

She had good intentions, but what kind of person was Fang Yanran? She was always invited by others, so how could she have invited anyone else?

Not to mention that Xu Zekun has always been very proactive towards her, so how could he lower himself at this time?

"Wouldn't it be better if he didn't come and no one bothered me?" Fang Yanran snorted.

Qingxing had no other choice. The county lady was the youngest child in the family and had been spoiled. The old man was hot-blooded and wanted to get close to the county lady at first.

But the county lady was afraid of pain and always refused, so it might not succeed twice out of ten times.

But now the county princess has been married for five years and there is still no movement in her belly. There are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the worst. Even for the county princess, this is unacceptable.

Didn't the old lady find that woman to continue the family line? If the county lady is willing to soften her temper and get along well with the master, and give birth to a legitimate son, who can compare?

"The county lady should also have a child with me soon..."

"I will not give birth to a child!" Fang Yanran was born to dislike children and did not want to have one.

When my sister-in-law gave birth to my nephew, she was in pain for a whole day and night. She was not married at the time, so her mother did not let her go. However, she could hear her sister-in-law's shrill screams across the yard, which scared her into having a nightmare.

She thought at the time, childbirth must be painful. She has never had a broken skin in her life, so why would she have to give birth? She didn't want to.

Not only when giving birth, but also when doing that thing... she felt terrible pain. The first time, Xu Zekun left a huge shadow on her. If possible, she didn't want Xu Zekun to touch her again!

Linfengju

Xu Zekun was really depressed before going to bed. After drinking a few glasses of cold wine, she couldn't help dreaming about the past when she and the county lord first met.

At that time, he was a young general who had just returned victorious, and she was a lively girl following behind her elder sister.

At that time she was wearing a red shirt, like a fluttering butterfly, and her big eyes were curved into crescents.

Such a bright and beautiful girl attracted the attention of almost all the men at the banquet, including Xu Zekun.

A conspiracy brought him and the county lady together. After the absurdity, he woke up to find himself in disheveled clothes, with the county lady sobbing beside him.

Her eyes were red from crying, and Xu Zekun felt more flustered than ever before. He really wanted to give her everything he had, just asking her to stop crying.

Later, the emperor granted the marriage, and everything seemed natural. He thought the two would live a good life, and he thought her tears were just the first pain.

But he didn't expect that on their wedding night, she would look at him with such resentment and hatred.

"Xu Zekun, you ruined my life."

Xu Zekun suddenly woke up. He had another nightmare, which he hadn't had for a long time.

His throat was dry and astringent, so he got up from bed, drank a cup of cold tea, and looked at the moon outside.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips. That palace banquet changed his and Yanran's lives. He wanted to use everything he had to compensate Yanran, but he didn't expect that if her heart was not with him, no matter what he did, it would not change anything.
