Two days later, Chen Rou went to Zhou's house wearing a newly cut dress.
Although Yang Jiyan was under house arrest, the Zhou Mansion was a wealthy family after all, and such private matters in the inner chambers could not be made public. If someone came to visit, Yang Jiyan would naturally be allowed to meet them, so the servant led Chen Rou to Yang Jiyan's yard.
Chen Rou entered the room and saw Yang Jiyan lying on the bed with a white cloth wrapped around her forehead. She was shocked. She also saw that Yang Jiyan's cheeks were red and swollen, with dark blue fingerprints on them that had not yet disappeared.
He immediately asked with concern: "Sister Yan, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Jiyan had a miserable look on her face and sighed, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, my dear sister, you're finally here. The Zhou family is in cahoots with each other, and Zhou Yun is wholeheartedly protecting that bitch, and he actually hit me..." After that, Yang Jiyan covered her face and started crying.
Chen Rou hurriedly whispered to comfort her, but she was a little scared in her heart. This Zhou Yun was actually a woman beater. If she entered the Zhou family in the future, and if she did not meet Zhou Yun's wishes, would she also be beaten?
Although Yang Jiyan covered her face with a handkerchief, she had been observing Chen Rou's expression. Seeing this, she cried and complained, "I just didn't want to see that bitch from Suiyu Courtyard live too comfortably, so I deliberately went to that bitch and said that I wanted to bring the child she gave birth to with me to raise. That bitch went to Madam Zhou and Zhou Yun to cry and complain, causing Zhou Yun to come over and yell at me. I was really aggrieved, so I told Zhou Yun that if the bitch from Suiyu Courtyard dared to give birth to a child, I would kill that bastard! I didn't expect Zhou Yun to slap me in the face. I was so angry that I scratched Zhou Yun, but he pushed me and I hit the corner of the table! If I'm not having a good time, he won't have a good time either. I scratched his neck so hard that it was bleeding. I wonder how he can go out and fool around these days!"
Chen Rou felt relieved after hearing the whole story. She thought Yang Jiyan was a little stupid. As a woman, weakness is the best weapon. How could she yell at her husband like this and even scratch her man! But she comforted him, "Did you ask a doctor to check the wound on Sister Yan's head?"
Yang Jiyan said: "I have seen it and used medicine, but now they have banned me from walking. Otherwise, I will go back home and tell my father, so that the Zhou family will not be able to live well!"
Chen Rou found Yang Jiyan's arrogant and proud appearance even more ridiculous. This was probably the reason why Zhou Yun hated her to such an extent.
Although Yang Jiyan came from a good family, which man would like such an arrogant young lady?
Chen Rou comforted Yang Jiyan again. Yang Jiyan held her hand and said with red eyes: "Good sister, please come and help me. It is too difficult for me to fight alone in the Zhou Mansion. If you marry me, at least someone can accompany me."
Chen Rou pretended to hesitate, and nodded after a long while, "In my heart, I regard you as my own sister. Seeing you crying, I feel really bad. Since you said so, I am willing to help you solve your problems."
Yang Jiyan smiled immediately: "I knew you would definitely help me."
Chen Rou also smiled.
Yang Jiyan got off the bed and pulled Chen Rou to the dressing mirror. "I scratched Zhou Yun's neck. He must have been hiding in the mansion to recover these days. You should dress up well. When I ask the maid to send you out of the mansion later, you should pretend to run into Zhou Yun by accident. You should behave well then."
"I... I don't know how to behave?" Chen Rou said nervously.
While dressing her up, Yang Jiyan said with a smile, "Sister, you are so pretty. You don't need to show anything. Zhou Yunding will fall in love with you."
She took out a box, and inside the box was a scented pill, which immediately filled the air with a fragrant and pleasant aroma: "I asked someone to buy this scented pill from the most famous perfume shop on Chang'an Street. Put it in a sachet and wear it with you."
Chen Rou put the hollow sachet ball on her wrist as instructed, and immediately the fragrance emanated from her sleeves.
The two chatted for a while, and then Yang Jiyan asked the maid to send Chen Rou out of the house. The maid who came with the dowry was from the Yang family, not the Zhou family, so naturally she obeyed Yang Jiyan's orders in everything.
The maid had previously found out according to Yang Jiyan's instructions that Zhou Yun was feeding fish by the waterside pavilion in the garden. She led Chen Rou to a place not far from the waterside pavilion and whispered, "I will take you here."
Chen Rou nodded, looked up and saw from afar a person sitting next to the beauty in the waterside pavilion. She took a deep breath, walked slowly towards him, and made a lost expression on her face.
Before she even got close to the waterside pavilion, Zhou Yun called out, "Which courtyard are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Chen Rou looked up at Zhou Yun, her almond-shaped eyes were moist and revealed a trace of confusion. She shook her head and said, "I'm not a maid in your mansion. I just accidentally got lost in your mansion. Please help me find the way out." Then she lowered her head again, and her white neck was stained with a hint of red, as if she was shy.
When Zhou Yun saw her face clearly, he immediately remembered that he had met Chen Rou once before. At that time, he thought Chen Rou was quite pretty. He asked the servants in the mansion about it. The servants told him that she was Yang Jiyan's close friend. He immediately gave up the idea and forgot about her.
Zhou Yun was annoyed with Yang Jiyan, and now he remembered who Chen Rou was. He was about to send her away, but when he saw Chen Rou's pink neck, he suddenly found it interesting.
He threw away the fish food in his hand and walked towards Chen Rou, "What's your name? Just because you say you're not a maid in the mansion, you're not a maid in the mansion?"
Chen Rou raised her eyes and looked at him shyly, and argued: "I am here to see Madam Yang, I am really not a servant in your house."
Seeing her shy look, Zhou Yun's heart was moved. He leaned over slightly and sniffed her lightly, "You smell so good. What are you hiding? Why don't you take it out and let me see it?"
Chen Rou pretended to be panicked and stepped back. "I don't have anything hidden on me... Madam Yang and I are good friends. I am not a maid in your house. I just got lost when I left the house and came here."
Zhou Yun grabbed her hand and said, "You are sneaky. Who knows if you stole something from my house?"
Chen Rou exclaimed, her face flushed, she wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn't pull it back no matter what, and her face suddenly turned red: "Master Zhou, please respect yourself."
"Do you know who I am?" Zhou Yun saw her shy look and teased her, "Respect yourself? You stole something from my house, how can you still ask me to respect myself? Besides, how can I, the young master, not respect myself?"
As he spoke, he pulled Chen Rou into his arms, and immediately she was soft and fragrant in his arms. Zhou Yun said with a smile: "This is called not respecting yourself!"
Chen Rou hurriedly pushed him away, her two soft and boneless hands against Zhou Yun's chest, and said in shame and anger: "Master Zhou, you... let go, if you do this again, I will call for help!"
