Xing'er was dressing and washing Chen Qiu in the house, and she wanted to laugh when she heard Ye Chen talking to Xiaofu about giving birth outside.
Chen Qiu's face was full of black lines. How could this husband make this matter sound so... so... making people want to beat him up?
Chen Qiu looked at Xing'er in the mirror and asked, "Did all of you do this today together?"
Xing'er immediately said: "Madam... I... we were just forced by the Duke." There was no other way. Madam was angry and could only use the Duke to block it.
Chen Qiu sighed and said, "Go ahead and do it. What I don't understand is how my husband persuaded all of you to do this for him? Mingyue is a bit unreliable, but Xing'er, you are very steady."
Xing'er leaned her head back and said, "The Duke promised us that if this thing succeeds, we can go into his small storehouse and take whatever we want."
"And...we can pick any jewelry from Cuiyue Pavilion."
Chen Qiu was so shocked that her jaw dropped. She had the key to Ye Chen's small warehouse. Ye Chen's small warehouse was probably only comparable to the emperor's small warehouse.
Cuiyue Pavilion is a jewelry store under Ye Chen's name. The jewelry in it is all for the young ladies in Kyoto City. Ye Chen has invested a lot of money in this.
To be honest, Chen Qiu felt very sweet in her heart. She was really happy that her husband could do this for her.
But if this happens, everyone will know that she and her husband were having sex in broad daylight. She will be so embarrassed. How will she go to Rongwei Hall for dinner later?
And her husband is out there, openly talking to Xiaofu about how he plans to have a baby with her. This... this is going to piss her off to death!
Chen Qiu snorted, picked up an apple and threw it out. Xiaofu outside caught it with one hand, then looked at Chen Qiu who came out with a smile.
Chen Qiu glared at Ye Chen and ignored him, then said to Xiaofu: "Xiaofu, are you hungry? Do you want to eat some mung bean cake?"
Xiaofu immediately ran to Shenqiu, rubbed his head against her shoulder, and said, "Sister, Xiaofu doesn't want to eat mung bean cakes. Xiaofu wants to hold my nephew. From now on, Xiaofu will not disturb you and your brother-in-law from being intimate."
Chen Qiu asked Xiaofu, "Xiaofu, do you know what intimacy is?"
Xiaofu smiled and said: "I know, my brother-in-law said it was mouth to mouth, and then..." Before Xiaofu finished speaking, Chen Qiu covered Xiaofu's mouth.
He roared at Ye Chen: "Ye Chen!"
Ye Chen ran away. How could he say such things to a child? And with so many people in the yard, did he not know what shame was? Was he the Duke or a little hooligan?
Ye Chen ran while saying: "Madam, please calm down. I will definitely change my ways and never do it again!"
Then the shadow disappeared.
Shen Qiu stamped his feet in anger. What else could he do? He couldn't stand his own beating.
July 7th is Chen Qiu’s birthday. She was very happy on this day because it was her birthday. The day before yesterday, she also received a letter from home in the northwest and birthday gifts from her father and mother.
When I woke up in the morning, it was already noon. Ye Chen was not around. I got up and called Mingyue Xing'er, but it was Xiao Su who came in. She was the maid who was responsible for combing Chen Qiu's hair.
Chen Qiu asked, "Xiao Shu, where are Mingyue and Xing'er? Is the Duke out?"
Xiao Shu lowered her head and said, "The Duke said he wanted to take Xiaofu out to play, and he also brought Mingyue and Xing'er with him. They set off at 1:00 AM."
Chen Qiu frowned and said, "Didn't you say where you were going?"
Xiao Shu shook her head and said, "No, Mu Qing went with us, riding a horse."
Chen Qiu said: "Ignore them, you can help me comb my hair first, I will go directly to Rongwei Hall later, you can accompany me."
Xiao Shu nodded and answered: "Yes." Then a little girl brought in warm water and helped Chen Qiu wash up.
Xiao Shu's skills are very good. When it is not an important occasion at home, Chen Qiu always wears the simplest bun and puts a jade hairpin on her head.
When she arrived at Rongwei Hall, she had dinner with the old Duke and the old Lady, and chatted for a while. From beginning to end, the two old people never mentioned that today was her birthday. Although she felt that she was a bit pretentious, she still felt sad.
When Chen Qiu returned to Nianqiu Pavilion, it was already the end of the Si hour, and Ye Chen and the others hadn't returned yet. Had they forgotten that today was her birthday? And today was also the Qiqiao Festival?
Although it is a festival for unmarried girls, Chen Qiu still wants to hold a celebration for the little girl in the mansion to make it lively along with his own birthday.
Although there are elderly people at home, we can't have a big party, at least we can celebrate together, but now it seems like everyone has forgotten me.
On the evening of Qiqiao Festival, you can release river lanterns, which is a custom open to all women, to pray for peace and a smooth relationship. She had originally planned to take Xiaofu Mingyue and Xing'er out to release river lanterns that night, but now she is alone.
Chen Qiu went to the bamboo forest to practice sword alone and embroidered a purse alone. This was the gift she planned to give to Ye Chen today. She asked Li Ma to go out and buy things for the Qiqiao Festival. She would wait for them to come back in the evening and have a good festival for the little maid in the mansion.
Mu Qing didn't come back until the lights were on. Chen Qiu asked, "Why did you come back alone? Where are the others?"
Mu Qing said with a sullen face: "Madam, something has happened to the young master. Please come with me."
Chen Qiu stood up suddenly and said nervously: "What happened to my husband? Where is he?"
Mu Qing said, "Madam, please come with me first. I have asked someone to prepare a carriage. You will know when you arrive."
Then, without waiting for Chen Qiu to ask any more questions, Mu Qing turned and walked out.
After getting on the carriage, Chen Qiu kept thinking about what had happened. Various scenes appeared in his mind unconsciously, such as Ye Chen being kidnapped or injured. Chen Qiu unconsciously reached for the soft sword at his waist.
She glanced inside the carriage, and suddenly there was a "bang" outside. She immediately stuck her head out, but Mu Qing was no longer in front of her. There was a dart on the right door of the carriage. She picked it up and took a look: "To Cuiyue Pavilion"
Then Chen Qiu said to the driver: "Uncle Gen, go to Cuiyue Pavilion."
When she arrived at Cuiyue Pavilion, the shopkeeper came out to greet her, bowed to her and said, "Madam, please follow me."
Chen Qiu was led to an attic, where Xiao Shu was waiting. Chen Qiu looked at Xiao Shu suspiciously: "Why are you here? What happened?"
Xiao Shu leaned her head against the wall and said, "I will do your makeup for you." The moment Xiao Shu appeared, Chen Qiu suddenly had a premonition that all this was prepared by Ye Chen.
In that case, just follow his instructions. Xiao Su applied a beautiful peach blossom makeup for her, then combed her hair into a bun. She even brought out the set of South Pearl head ornaments and changed into a pink dress.
Then Xiao Shu helped Chen Qiu to the backyard of Cuiyue Pavilion, where a carriage was already waiting, and Uncle Gen was driving the car.
Xiao Su and Shen Qiu got into the carriage together. Xiao Su seemed to be afraid that Shen Qiu would talk to her, so she kept her head down and looked at the handkerchief in her hand.
