The next day, several horse-drawn carriages drove from the Shen Mansion to Qingzhou. Du Yaoyao sat in the carriage, feeling a sense of unreality and trance.

In the book, Chen Jie never accompanied the original owner back to her parents' home. Three days after her wedding, he went back to her parents' home with her symbolically to offer a cup of tea to his aunt, Mrs. Du, and did not stay for lunch.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year every year, Chen Jie was so busy that he was nowhere to be seen, and the original owner was too embarrassed to go back alone. The people of Qingzhou only thought that she had married a high-ranking official in the capital and was living a glorious life, and they didn't know why she had not returned home for several years.

However, the original owner was heartless and was attached to her cousin, so she didn't really care whether Chen Jie accompanied her home or not.

Du Yaoyao was concerned. Judging from the information in the book, Chen Jie temporarily decided her life or death.

"Yaoyao, are you tired?" Chen Jie sat upright, rubbing the lower back of the person in his arms.

Du Yaoyao lay on his chest and complained aggrievedly, "My waist hurts so much, and my knees hurt too..."

It's all thanks to him working hard last night, saying that we should be loving and affectionate at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, which means a harmonious and fulfilling year.

Just finding excuses for eating meat every day.

"You are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man, and you don't know how lucky you are." Chen Jie teased.

Du Yaoyao was dissatisfied, "I'm almost full, and a hungry man doesn't know how full I am!"

Others take their annual leave and travel around. Chen Jie was on New Year's leave, and whenever he had time, he would pull her to the bed to exercise, and her acupoints were swollen and her legs were weak.

Why did he suddenly mention "hungry man"? Du Yaoyao asked curiously, "Have you met anyone who offered himself to you recently?"

There are too many women in the book, and Du Yaoyao doesn't have a good memory to remember every one of them.

"Why do you ask like that?" Shen Jie was surprised.

"Then you said 'hungry man'." Du Yaoyao suggested.

"This." Chen Jie suddenly realized and explained with a smile, "It was Chu De. He said that he was exhausted during the New Year. The concubines in each room competed for his favor. He was afraid that he didn't have enough energy, so he drank tonic soup every day..."

To be precise, Chu De's original words were that women are like wolves and tigers after being alone for a long time, and he was really afraid of dying of exhaustion in bed.

These words were vulgar, but Chen Jie and Du Yaoyao said them in a tactful way.

Du Yaoyao curled her lips when she heard that and spat secretly: Dirty man, big pig! She didn’t have a very good tone towards Chen Jie, “Are you very envious of him?”

"No way," Chen Jie pinched her cheek and coaxed her, "I have Yaoyao, that's enough!"

A man's mouth is a lie! You and Chu De are the same kind of people, okay? Du Yaoyao rolled her eyes in her heart.

“If it weren’t for that experience, Chu De wouldn’t have become like this…” Shen Jie sighed.

What happened? Du Yaoyao was curious. Shen Jie didn't say anything further, and she didn't ask. Smart people should remember that the more you know, the faster you die, especially royal secrets like this.

As if remembering something, Du Yaoyao took out the brocade bag in front of her chest, opened it, and asked tentatively, "This jade pendant is so beautiful. Is it very expensive?"

Shen Jie stroked her jade body and asked, "Do you like it?"

"I like it!" Du Yaoyao pretended to be happy and pointed at the red string around her neck. "I was afraid it would get damaged when I wore it, so I strung a string around my neck."

The implication of the words is: Look, how carefully I take care of your deceased mother's belongings!

As expected, Chen Jie showed a relieved look. Du Yaoyao knew that she had won the bet, so she pretended to be even more obedient.

Chen Jie said: "This is carved from mutton-fat white jade, and it was left by my mother."

Fat white jade is the best quality jade. Du Yaoyao has seen it on TV. The auction price of good jade can reach hundreds of millions.

"Ah?" She cried in a fake tone, "This is too valuable. I'm careless, what if it falls or gets bumped?" She pretended to take off the brocade bag.

“No need,” Chen Jie stopped him, “It was originally left for my daughter-in-law.” Phoenix jade ornaments are not suitable for men to wear.

"Then thank you, mother!" Du Yaoyao put it into the collar carefully.
