Zhou Yun originally just wanted to tease her, but he didn't know that this woman would rub and move in his arms, and his body was immediately rubbed and heated. He lowered his eyes and saw Chen Rou's fair and delicate neck. Zhou Yun lowered his head and sniffed it, and then he let go after holding back: "This is my house, what can you do if you call someone over?"
Chen Rou raised her eyes and glared at her, her almond-shaped eyes filled with tears. She cursed in shame and anger, "Lecher!"
This pitiful look made Zhou Yun even more moved. Even being scolded like this sounded quite charming to Zhou Yun.
He smiled and said coaxingly, "Why are you crying? Young Master, I was just joking with you. Since you are lost, I will personally escort you out of the house as an apology to you."
Zhou Yun was indeed born with a pretty good-looking appearance. Although he was not as handsome as Yu Qizhe, his family background was there, and he had a noble and elegant temperament. Chen Rou secretly looked at him and felt more and more satisfied.
After leaving the Zhou family's gate, Chen Rou bowed slightly: "Thank you, young master, for sending me out of the house and leading the way for me."
Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Where do you live? I'll ask someone to drive you there."
Chen Rou shook her head, "Thank you for your kindness, young master. It's not necessary." Then she turned and left.
Zhou Yun stopped her and said, "Young Master, I am used to being kind and gentle to women. If a beautiful lady like you returns home alone and is teased by a scoundrel, I will be heartbroken."
After saying that, he called the servant to send Chen Rou back without giving any chance to be refused.
The maid who was watching secretly went back and told Yang Jiyan about the scene by the water pavilion. Yang Jiyan's lips curled up into a smile. The maid caught a glimpse of the smile on her face and felt a chill in her heart. She had no idea what Yang Jiyan was thinking.
What kind of woman would take the initiative to let her husband take his best friend as a concubine?
"Find a way to leave the house and deliver this letter to my mother at Yang's house." Yang Jiyan took out a letter from her sleeve and gave it to the maid, and then said, "Tell my mother that Zhou Yun beat me and confined me to the yard. Make sure my mother comes to the Zhou's house to see me."
The maid took the letter and hid it, and whispered, "I will go right away."

Cui Family
Cui Qiong looked at the letter in Cui Mubai's hand and said angrily, "Second brother, why did you stop my letter?"
Cui Mubai tore up the letter in front of Cui Qiong and said calmly, "I said you are not allowed to send letters to Pingliang Prefecture."
Cui Qiong looked at the torn letter, very angry, but helpless, "You are going to marry that prostitute into the mansion, and you won't let me write a letter to tell my sister-in-law? Besides, Yu Jiao is such a good doctor, as long as she comes back, she will definitely be able to save my brother."
Cui Mubai looked at her coldly: "I said no, so don't mess around."
"Second brother, my sister-in-law loves you deeply. Even if you want to keep a descendant and marry that prostitute, you should have told my sister-in-law first. Otherwise, when my sister-in-law comes back from Pingliang Prefecture, how will you let her cope with it?" As a woman, Cui Qiong is not married, but if she were in Liu Yaozhen's shoes, she would feel sorry for her: "By then, everything will be a foregone conclusion. You are a dying man. You have done such a heartless thing, but my sister-in-law cannot blame you or hate you. You can only endure all the suffering. After becoming a widow, I have to take care of your posthumous child and concubine. There is no such thing in the world!"
Cui Mubai frowned, but did not explain anything. He only said, "I will have someone keep an eye on you. No matter how many letters you write, it will be in vain. The letters will not be delivered."
Cui Qiong glared at him: "Second brother, are you afraid? If you are so afraid of letting your sister-in-law know, why did you have a child with a prostitute behind her back?"
Cui Mubai impatiently called the servant outside: "Send Miss Fifth back to her own courtyard."
After Cui Qiong was taken away by the maid, a servant came in soon: "Second Young Master, Elder Liu is here, the master wants you to go to the front hall."
Cui Mubai was silent for a moment. He glanced at the dressing table in the room, then stood up and followed the servant to the front hall.
The servant secretly observed his expression and didn't dare to say anything along the way.
In the flower hall, Liu Yu's face was not in a good mood. Rumors were spreading outside. He was waiting for Cui Mubai to go to the Liu family to give him an explanation, but he never waited for him. Until today, a disciple told him that the Cui family had redeemed the prostitute in the Red Mansion and were going to take her into the mansion.
Father Cui smiled apologetically, "Yaozhen is a good daughter-in-law. It was Mu Bai who did something wrong. I also used family rules for this a few days ago, but...but Mu Bai said that the woman was pregnant with his child. There was really no other way. We couldn't let the heir of the family wander around outside, so we had to ask Mu Bai to marry that woman into the mansion."
Liu Yu drank his tea calmly, "Where's Cui Mubai?"
Father Cui said hurriedly, "I have asked the servant to call him."
Cui Mubai came in at this time. He first bowed to Liu Yu and then said, "Father-in-law."
Liu Yu put down the teacup heavily, "Father-in-law? I don't deserve it."
Cui Mubai lowered his head slightly.
Liu Yu was annoyed. Some time ago, he called Cui Mubai to his house and asked him about taking Wushisan. Cui Mubai did not deny it. Liu Yu was well-educated, so how could he not know the consequences of taking Wushisan? He immediately told Cui Mubai that if he did not mend his ways and continued to take the powder, then his marriage with Yaozhen would end here!
Afterwards, he arranged for his wife to take Yaozhen to Pingliang Prefecture.
Who would have thought that just a few days after Yao Zhen left, Cui Mubai would cause such a scandal again! Liu Yu was really disappointed.
