In the middle of the night, when the two of them were trembling from the cold, Chu Wenlian released himself and warmed his hands. However, Chu Wenyu who was on the left directly reached out his hand towards his chest!
Chu Qinghuan dodged to the side, causing Chu Wenyu to immediately pout his lips in dissatisfaction, but she forced out a smile: "Second Elder Sister, my hands are cold, please warm them up for me."
When the thrush saw this scene, it was completely terrified. She must have seen wrongly, why was the Sixth Young Master so chaotic … If not for the fact that they were all in the bloodline of Chu Family, she would have thought that the Sixth Young Master was clearly trying to flirt with the young miss!
Chu Qinghuan smiled, "How does Hong Mei serve you? Tou Mei, why aren't you going to get the stove right away? "
Hearing Chu Qinghuan mention Hong Mei, Chu Wenyu said in embarrassment: "Hong Mei is sick, I did not ask her to follow us."
Chu Wenyu spoke very quickly, as if he was protecting Hongmei from his master's misfortune. Chu Qinghuan chuckled softly and said, "Sixth Brother is truly a merciful person. Mother would definitely be very pleased if mother knew about this." Being the same as Chu Siyuan, he truly was worthy of being called the blood and bone of Chu Siyuan! However, the fact that the Song Clan could teach Chu Wenjin, who could be considered an ex-son, to have spoiled his son to such an extent was indeed an old saying. A benevolent mother with many failed children.
Chu Wenlian seemed to not hear the meaning behind her words and laughed embarrassedly. However, Chu Wenlian felt that Second Elder Sister had a deeper meaning, as if he was talking about something, but he did not understand. Sixth Brother was younger than him by two years, do you know what it meant by being protective of the fairer sex? Moreover, he had heard about it before. The Sixth Brother rarely read.
Forget it, it's better to just follow Second Elder Sister and read books. Mother said that she would enter the 21st day tomorrow, so she can't come to the Chi Lan Academy to cause any more trouble …
Inside the small study room, the atmosphere was still weird. Chu Wenyu flipped and turned the entire book, but after reading through it for a while, he realized that it was filled with interest.
"Miss, Miss Peaches is here. She is here to give Grand Princess his new year gift."
Hearing the voice coming from outside the small study room, Chu Wenyu's eyes lit up, but she could feel that Chu Qinghuan seemed to be looking at him, so she quickly pretended to focus on reading.
"I've finished reading this book. Lian'er, you can help me return it to the Third Brother next time, but don't lose it."
Chu Wenlian nodded in astonishment: "Second Elder Sister, aren't you going to return it yourself?"
Although the Third Brother was someone who was carefree, how could she, the Second Elder Sister, repay the book with such consideration? Isn't that rude?
Chu Qinghuan laughed upon hearing this, thinking that Chu Wenlian was indeed very clever, and was very courteous, if he could change his impetuous personality, he would be the pillar of the Second Branch in the future, "I want to talk to Peaches and pay Grand Princess back, I might not even have time to look for Third Brother later to return the book."
Chu Wenlian thought for a bit, felt that what Second Elder Sister said was reasonable, and did not continue the line of questioning. He only heard a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant voice coming from outside the courtyard, "Your servant greets the princess."
Presumably, it was the Peaches of Grand Princess Palace.
After Chu Qinghuan left for the time it takes to have a cup of tea, Chu Wenyu slowly walked to Chu Wenlian's side. Fifth brother, what are you reading? "
Chu Wenlian was in a daze as he did not hear Chu Wenyu's voice, but Chu Wenyu thought that he was ignoring him on purpose. He was furious and pushed Chu Wenlian away.
Chu Wenlian was not on guard, his head bumped into a few corners, causing blood to flow out immediately.
"You, what are you doing?" Chu Wenlian did not understand. Clutching his head, he felt that everything in front of him was blood-red, yet he was scared silly by it. He stood there in a daze, not daring to move, unable to say a single word.
Outside the door, Hong'er who was serving the Fifth Young Master heard the sound and immediately ran in. Whenhe saw the scene inside, she was shocked and asked: "Why did Fifth Young Master knock on the door so carelessly? Sister Zhao Fen, go and get a doctor over here for Fifth Young Master to take a look. "
Surrounding Chu Wenlian as he walked out, Chu Wenyu was actually left in the study, lost in thought as he looked at the《 Nine Prefectures' Public Information》 which was stained with a trace of blood.
The news of the Sixth Young Master injuring the Fifth Young Master quickly spread in the Chiran Courtyard. The Concubine Liu gently caressed his stomach and had a meaningful smile on his face. "This water is really muddled now."
"So, aunt, you're preparing to fish in troubled waters?" Hearing Concubine Chen's words, Xin Mei was a little worried. She kept having the feeling that what Aunt did was too rash.
"The year is approaching, Madame is extremely busy, Sixth Young Master has beaten Fifth Young Master, how can Second Wife let this go? It will definitely get out of hand. If we don't get rid of her now, how long will it take? " Hadn't she waited so many days just for this opportunity?
"But, but … If Madam found out, wouldn't she blame you for causing her trouble?" After all, the Madam had just been locked up in the ancestral hall. Even the concubine of the Second Young Master, who was pregnant, did not dare to cause trouble by relying on her body. She stayed in her own courtyard, never stepping out of the door. Isn't it too bad for Aunt to be like this? Xin Mei was extremely worried.
However, Concubine Chen laughed shrewdly for her own sake, and laughed: "You are indeed not as smart as Xin Lan, I am even more happy now that I have made a fuss over Madam. It's almost New Year's Eve, so even if something small happened, Prime Minister would not go into depth on this matter, wouldn't it ruin the atmosphere of the New Year if Bai Ling were to die for such an unlucky reason? I only have this chance now, otherwise, what if Chang Xi doesn't get married into the Ningyuan Marquis Palace? My daughter is clever, how is she inferior to Chu Changle? Such a good marriage definitely cannot be forgiven by her. "
At this moment, Concubine Chen was like a mad devil. Xin Mei opened her mouth, but could only sigh in the end. Fine, this life was saved by the aunt, so she would naturally help the aunt fulfill her wish.
Concubine Chen stood up, "Weren't you getting closer and closer to that girl Bai He these past few days? "How are things now?"
Xin Mei nodded, "Recently, Aunt Bai … Bai Ling seemed to have a really bad temper, Bai He couldn't take it anymore either. This servant tried to probe a little, but she actually wanted to be like Bai Ling, a phoenix who flew up onto a branch. Aunt, there's another aunt, but you … "
"Shut up!" The Concubine Chen shouted angrily, thinking that the one living next door was the Concubine Liu, he lowered his voice, "How can Bai He compare to Bai Ling? Don't forget, why did the child in the Madam's womb fall? "
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. I found the Prime Minister and Bai …" Xin Mei immediately understood why his concubine dared to promise Bai He. After all, Bai He didn't have any deep grudges with his mistress, and Bai Ling had gone out with his Listening Cloud Courtyard, and was a servant girl of the Second Miss.
"It's good that you know it, go back and vent your anger with Bai He, don't not know how to cooperate with me when the time comes." Concubine Chen was very angry. If it wasn't for Xin Lan's recent cold illness, she wouldn't have let Xin Mei handle this matter. She spent so much effort to explain this.
"Then Aunt, have you thought of a way to escape?" "What if Miss finds out about you? She …"
Hearing Xin Mei mention Chu Changxi, Concubine Chen's expression immediately changed, "Chang Xi will be fine! She is so doted on by Madam, how could she have such a disappointing mother like me? "
The Concubine Chen muttered to herself, but Xin Mei, who was at the side, was a little stunned: "Does this mean that the Aunt didn't leave any way out for him at all?" If she succeeded, then it would mean they had successfully completed the Third Miss's marriage. If they weren't investigated, then they could watch the Third Miss get married. If they were investigated, then it would only be the aunt herself being befuddled and being possessed …
Xin Mei left worriedly, oblivious to the scene in front of the Concubine Liu next door.
"Aunt, it seems like Concubine Chen is preparing to deal with Bai Ling, then what should we do?" Qiu Xiang was a little anxious, she never thought that Concubine Chen would actually be able to keep her cool this time. With the current situation, it seemed like Concubine Chen was determined to fight for the Ningyuan Marquis Palace's marriage. Such a good marriage, if it really fell into the hands of the Third Miss, it would truly be a pity.
"What's the hurry?" The Concubine Liu laughed as if it was as light as the wind and clouds, "If she is willing to wade in this muddy water, then she can go by herself.
Only that foolish Chen Jingqiu would truly believe the marriage at the Ningyuan Marquis Palace. The wedding of the Hou clan was just a lie from the young miss, it was just to get rid of Bai Ling's little hoof.
In fact, the young miss had purposely told him about it, but had also let Chen Jingqiu know that Chang Le had a high chance of marrying into the Ningyuan Marquis Palace. The rabbit would bite if it got anxious, not to mention Chen Jingqiu cared about her precious daughter the most. What could she do in such a moment of desperation?
However, she knew that fishing in troubled waters had made her smarter this time. It was quite rare to come by.
"Then, what about the Sixth Miss's wedding?" Qiu Xiang was a little anxious, but when she mentioned this matter, the Concubine Liu's expression changed as well as a trace of sadness flashed past her eyes.
"Chang Le, she has her own good fortune." Concubine Liu gently caressed her stomach, a look of sorrow flashing across her face. If the Heir of Marquis of Chengen was still alive, she would definitely think of ways to ruin the marriage, but now that she was dead, it was not a bad choice for Chang Le to marry her.
The two aunts in the stone garden had different thoughts, but the Listening Cloud Courtyard in the midst of the storm had the momentum of a storm.
"Go find out who leaked this information!"
Ever since she came out from the Ancestral Hall, Madame Song was usually calm and collected, but today, she was extremely furious. Seeing that, Nanny Zhao immediately went out to check, only to see Chu Jinxiu casually walking in.
"Mother, don't be angry. This matter was spread by me."
When Nanny Zhao heard this, a strange look flashed past her eyes, but she still left with concern, leaving the mother and daughter with enough space.
"You want to get rid of them?"
Although they did not say who they were, the contempt in Madame Song's tone confirmed who they were.
Chu Jinxiu shook her head, "Right now, Chu Qinghuan has to care about the east and the west, isn't that great? Just give her a lesson. As for the other two, it's fine if we go down first, but if we become the scapegoats for Chu Qinghuan, that would be because of our friendship. "
In the end, Madame Song did not speak again. The reason she had been so patient these past few days was completely because she was waiting for the right moment to get rid of Chu Qinghuan.
It also let the people of the prime minister's residence know that even though Chu Qinghuan was doted on, the mistress of this The Backyard of The Prime Minister'S Estate had always been her, Song Xiangyun, and no one else!
Oh, by the way, is Yu Er alright? Mentioning his young son, Madame Song's expression softened a lot.
"Of course there's nothing wrong, but Chu Qinghuan is about to have something up." Chu Jinxiu laughed, looking at the time, it was about time for Chu Wenchen to return from her visit with friends, and it was time for her to go watch the show.
