Chen Qiu and Shen Yue got on the carriage and no one spoke until they returned to the Ye Mansion. Chen Qiu jumped off the carriage and used Qinggong to quickly return to Qiuchen Courtyard. Ye Chen had been waiting in Qiuchen Courtyard when he heard someone shout, "Madam is back."
Chen Qiu realized that he had run to the wrong place, so he used his internal energy to fly towards the bamboo forest where martial arts were practiced. As soon as he entered the bamboo forest, he drew the soft sword from his waist and started slashing randomly.
When Ye Chen chased out from Qiuchen Courtyard, he happened to see Chen Qiu heading towards the bamboo forest. Just as he was about to chase after him, he saw Chen Yue running in.
"What happened? Qiu'er has never been like this before. What happened?" Ye Chen asked Chen Yue anxiously.
"Let's go see Qiu'er first, and talk later!" The two of them ran to the bamboo forest in a hurry. Chen Qiu jumped from here to there, and then from there to here. The sword energy in his hand cut off a lot of bamboo leaves. Chen Qiu had not shown his temper so much since he was twelve years old, and he was also very angry today.
Ye Chen stood beside Shen Yue, "What happened? Who made Qiu'er angry? I want the truth."
Chen Yue told Ye Chen about what happened at the Fang family. Ye Chen clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "She loves you, don't you know? Do you still want to get married?"
Chen Yue looked at Ye Chen, "I already said yesterday in front of many people that I would marry her, how can I not keep my word?"
Ye Chen looked at Chen Qiu who was venting there, his eyes filled with chills, but Chen Yue couldn't see it. "As long as you don't want to, you don't have to marry. It won't affect you."
Shen Yue looked at Ye Chen, not knowing what to say for a moment. Shen Qiu put away his sword and walked towards them, "Husband, I want to see Mu Qing. I want to know what happened yesterday. My brother is a piece of wood and I can't let him suffer."
Ye Chen nodded, then asked someone to call Mu Qing to Qiuchen Courtyard. When Ye Chen and Shen Qiu returned to Qiuchen Courtyard, Mu Qing and Mingyue were already waiting there.
"Mu Qing, tell me everything that happened yesterday in detail."
Mu Qing bowed, "Yes, ma'am."
"Yesterday, when General Shen and I were coming back, we encountered Miss Fang falling into the water on the outskirts of Kyoto. General Shen rescued Miss Fang because she had choked on a lot of water and there was no doctor nearby, so General Shen had to press on Miss Fang's chest to make her spit out the water. When she was about to leave after rescuing Miss Fang, Miss Fang's maid stopped General Shen and said that General Shen was a pervert and had ruined Miss Fang's innocence, so..."
"So, you agreed to marry her?" Chen Qiu interrupted Mu Qing.
"yes"
"Qiu'er, I..." Shen Yue wanted to say something
"Shut up. From childhood to adulthood, you only care about my affairs. You were tricked and fell into someone's trap without even realizing it. Since you have been protecting me since childhood, I naturally cannot let you sacrifice yourself for their despicable means. The door of the Shen family is not so easy to enter." Shen Qiu scolded Shen Yue and interrupted Shen Yue.
"Mu Qing, let me ask you, which river did Miss Fang fall into? Where did she fall? Were they on a boat at the time?" Chen Qiu looked at Mu Qing and asked his questions. Mu Qing looked at Chen Qiu and then at Chen Yue.
"I'm asking you a question? Are you mute?" Mingyue pushed Mu Qing from behind.
"Oh, it's the canal from Kyoto to Tong County. I saw Miss Fang was quite far away from the shore. I remember General Shen used his Qinggong to jump twice and fell into the water. He swam for a few times before reaching Miss Fang. There were no boats on the canal at that time. Yes, not a single boat." The more Mu Qing spoke, the more she felt that something was wrong, and then she saw that Ye Chen's eyes were getting colder and colder.
Chen Qiu stood up and paced back and forth. "Ever since the Shen family left Kyoto, do they think I'm the only married daughter of the Shen family in Kyoto, so they think they can bully me at will? Anyone wants to marry into our Fang family? A former dynasty family that has fallen on hard times, do they really think that our Shen family is afraid of him?"
Looking at Chen Qiu like this, Ye Chen remembered the time in his previous life when Mingyue and Xing'er were troubled by Princess An Ning in the palace. Chen Qiu looked like this, with thorns all over his body. Ye Chen kept thinking about that incident in the next ten years, and every time he thought about it, he would smile unconsciously.
"Husband, I must take care of my brother's affairs. He can't be bullied like this just because he is honest. If my brother likes her and this matter brings them together, that would be a good thing, but my brother doesn't like her. This would be forcing my brother to marry her. Why is she so..." Chen Qiu wanted to say shameless, but he stopped the words when they came to his lips.
Ye Chen touched Chen Qiu's head, "Why is she so shameless? Is this what she wants to say?" Ye Chen smiled and then hugged Chen Qiu in his arms. Chen Qiu rested her forehead against Ye Chen's chest to prevent others from seeing her face.
Ye Chen stroked Chen Qiu's back with his hand to calm him down. His Qiu'er was really angry.
Shen Yue looked at Ye Chen and Shen Qiu, and she felt relieved that Qiu'er had such a husband.
"Brother, are you still determined to marry Fang?" Ye Chen looked at Shen Yue, his eyes as if she would skin him alive if Shen Yue said yes.
Shen Yue looked at Ye Chen, then looked at Shen Qiu who was looking over, and then shook her head.
Chen Yue had disliked Fang Yu since the first time she saw her. That maid was Fang Yu's personal maid who grew up with her. If the maid who spent day and night with her was like that, then she herself was not much different from that maid. After all, birds of a feather flock together, and there is a saying that "birds of a feather flock together." She was the master, and the maid's temperament was closely related to that of the master. Even if people outside might not be able to see it, who could know what she was like in private?
Ye Chen got Shen Yue's attitude, and his eyes softened when he looked at Shen Qiu, "Qiu'er, do whatever you want. How about I help Qiu'er?"
Chen Qiu looked at Ye Chen and nodded. Her previous anger and gloom were swept away, and her big almond eyes were squeezed into a slit.
"But husband, we still need to talk to our grandparents about this. After all, I am now the daughter-in-law of the Ye family. If I do something wrong, the Ye family will also be affected. Tell them in advance so that they can be prepared." Shen Qiu told Ye Chen about her concerns.
Ye Chen nodded, "Grandpa and grandma will stand on our side."
"real?"
Ye Chen smiled and nodded, patting Chen Qiu's head, "Let's go see An An, he hasn't seen you all morning."
Chen Qiu thought of his son, whose arms and legs were now as fat as lotus roots, and smiled knowingly. Then he started to worry. Isn't it bad to be so fat? It would be bad if he kept getting fatter and grew into a little chubby boy.
Chen Yue followed him to the next room. An An was still awake. Chen Qiu took An An from Aunt Hua's arms and said, "Oh, my An An is too fat. If he gets any fatter, what will happen? Grandma, is there any way to prevent him from getting so fat?"
Xiao Taijun smiled and said, "It's okay, he's a baby now, but once he starts eating, he'll slowly get less fat. You don't have to hold him all the time when he's awake, it's fine to let him stare and move around on his own."
Chen Qiu nodded, then placed An An on the couch next to Madam Xiao. An An's legs began to glare non-stop, and he glared even harder when someone put their hands where his feet could glare.
