After being scolded, Chen Zhizhou's sparkling dark eyes dimmed instantly, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes looked at her with resentment without blinking.
Just like a wounded young wife!
That aggrieved look...
If an outsider saw this, he would be shocked.
Chen Zhizhou, who used to be cold and unrestrained in front of others, actually had such...
"Finally home." Gu Qing lifted the curtain and glanced out of the carriage through the window. She let out a long sigh.
Before the driver could bring the stool, Chen Zhizhou, who was standing nearby, stretched out his big hand and lifted her down from the carriage.
The movements are smooth and effortless.
In full view of the public...
Father-in-law and mother-in-law were standing at the gate, and Gu Qing's face flushed.
Fortunately, it is dark now. If it were daytime, anyone would be so embarrassed to see her in such an embarrassing state!
"Qing'er, you came back so late, you must be exhausted. Go back to your room and wash up quickly. Mother has asked someone to prepare a medicinal bath for you, as well as the ginseng soup. Remember to drink it after you return to your room. It won't cause you to feel hot and dry, it's both warming and nourishing..." Mother Chen treated her own daughter in the same way, nagging all the way.
Originally, Gu Qing thought...
The noise in the palace reached the ears of my parents-in-law so quickly.
Who would have thought that the two old people were waiting here only because it was too late and they were worried that her body could not bear it.
Poor parents in the world.
There are also parents who have no heart...
For example, Gu Yunzhao.
Gu Qing was filled with emotion. It was just as people said, when yin and yang are in harmony, everything in the world will have gains and losses.
The Gu family treated her like a stranger, but the Chen family was completely different.
"Mom, you should go to bed early. It's so late and I still want you to wait outside. Qing'er is really..." Gu Qing bit her lower lip tightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Mother Chen smiled gently and took her hand. "Child, what nonsense are you talking about? Entering the palace is not like you going out to play with Zhou'er. It's a lie to say that your parents don't miss you."
Chen's father had been an official in the court for many years, so how could he not know the saying that the emperor's mind is hard to predict.
He knew clearly what position the Chen family held in the court, how they were able to get along with everyone, and what their situation was.
Fortunately, the two of them came back from the palace today...
Gu Qing glanced at his father-in-law's official uniform and it seemed that he had made plans long ago.
If anything goes wrong in the palace today, he is ready to go to the palace to meet the emperor at any time.
"Madam, you don't know how our young lady won the first place in the palace today and how she brought honor to our Chen family. You don't know how many noble ladies in the court are looking at our young lady with envy!" Cuiru still didn't care about her mouth and kept chattering.
In front of the two elders of the Chen family, she recounted everything that had happened tonight, dancing and gesticulating, and almost played the song again on the spot.
This scene made Gu Qing laugh non-stop: "Okay, Cuiru, don't disturb the mistress and the master from sleeping!"
She is smiling.
Chen Zhizhou was standing behind her, staring at her and smiling.
A pair of blazing eyes that looked at him without hesitation made Gu Qing's heart beat fast.
I have to say that the medicinal bath that Chen's mother prepared for her was indeed comfortable. As soon as she soaked in the wooden barrel, her tiredness and physical and mental exhaustion disappeared.
The wooden door creaked...
"Just put your clothes outside and go to bed early." Gu Qing naturally thought that the maids came to serve him.
The teasing sound of water startled her.
Gu Qing suddenly turned around and looked into a pair of dark, bottomless phoenix eyes——
Chen Zhizhou took off his coat and stepped into the bucket very consciously. He scooped up a spoonful of water with his big hand, smiled playfully, and sprinkled the water gently on his shoulders...
"You, you..." Gu Qing's angry face turned even redder.
at first……
Chen Zhizhou originally wanted to come and take a look, after all, Gu Xi had never taken so long to wash his face and brush his teeth on a normal day.
As soon as I entered the door and heard her ordering the maid, I suddenly felt playful and decided to come over and tease her.
But the space in this wooden barrel is really small.
"What? I am here to help you bathe. Now you are a great contributor to our Chen family. I am happy to do this little thing." Chen Zhizhou said, leaning forward with his chin resting on her shoulder.
His breath was warm, as if something was about to break loose.
"Chen Zhizhou, you are shameless!" Gu Qing punched him on the arm with his backhand.
Unexpectedly, this move of hers pleased the man, and a strong hand grabbed her tightly into his arms.
"What?" Chen Zhizhou's handsome face smiled even wider.
I can't tell if it's the temperature of the water or their body temperature...
She was like a poison to Chen Zhizhou.
It made him obsessed and unable to extricate himself.
The two figures were reflected obliquely on the paper window...
Gu Qing grabbed the strong chest fiercely, as if in revenge: "Aren't you afraid of being seen? You...shameless!"
"Hmm? Madam, do you think what I did tonight wasn't good enough?"
This scoundrel spoke in such ambiguous words as soon as he opened his mouth.
The charming girl's ears were flushed, "Okay, I'm done..."
She was about to get up as if she was running for her life.
Unexpectedly, the big hand that was holding her slender waist tightened its grip a little more firmly. "I've already asked the servants to make the bed. If you have nothing else to do, please don't come and bother my lady while she washes up."
He had been prepared for this a long time ago?
How shameless!
Gu Qing bit her lower lip in pain. Starting tomorrow, a lock should be added to the bathroom.
A storm of ups and downs...
Even though the man tried his best to be gentle, he was just a warrior and was tall and strong.
Gu Qing's small body couldn't withstand his repeated tormenting.
She forgot how she got back to her room.
But the next day, I heard the servants say that the young master carried her back to the bedroom.
There was a sweet smile on each of their faces.
Cui Ru brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge to her bedside. "How could this happen? Young Madam was fine when she came out of the palace last night. How could she have caught a cold and been unable to get out of bed for three days?"
The hand that was about to take the bird's nest porridge paused for a moment...
Gu Qing's face was red and dry!
"Where is the young master?" She raised her bright eyes and looked out the window.
Cui Ru was stunned for a moment, then she said slowly, "Master... Oh, I remember, someone from the Gu family came this morning and said that Master Gu wanted the Master to go to the Gu family to discuss important matters, so the Master left early in the morning."
What?
Gu Qing took a careful glance at the sky outside the window and saw that it was almost noon.
The Gu family is a den of wolves!
Chen Zhizhou rushed there alone!
She had no time to blame Chen Zhizhou for his nonsense about the cold at home. Her heart was so anxious that it was almost in her throat.
"Hurry up and dress me, I want to go back home!"
