Chapter 203 The Reason
Chen Shuyao went to her mother-in-law's Chunhui Hall early the next morning.
Wang looked at her for a while and asked how they had been doing at the farm these days.
Chen Shuyao was too tired to move every day, but now she could only make up a few random stories.
When Wang saw her daughter-in-law looking shy, she felt happy.
She didn't expect that the brat would be so caring once he finally understood.
Wang and the Duke had been separated for a long time, and they had once had such a loving relationship.
But as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, she had to accept the fact that she and her husband would be separated for a long time.
Her Mo'er has been in the capital for several years and may rush to the battlefield whenever the court needs him.
While he is still in the house, the couple should be as sweet as possible!
When Chen Shuyao saw her mother-in-law looking at her with eyes full of pity, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she knew about the banditry?
She was just thinking about how to say something tactfully when she heard Wang in front of her say, "We are all family now. You don't have to come here in person every time you go out. Just send a maid to come."
Speaking of maids, when Qiaowei got married, she was given a solid gold hairpin.
While Chen Shuyao was still there, Wang couldn't help but ask, "How are those maids you picked out a few days ago? If you don't like them, send them away. Or if you want to train them well, I have some here. If you want them, just tell your mother."
Chen Shuyao hurriedly said that everything was fine.
Next she went to Songhetang again and came out at the end of the Si hour.
It is October now, and the weather is warm and pleasant even in the midday sun.
Chen Shuyao brought Huixiang and Caifu to pick water chestnuts, as well as Perilla and Holly, which looked like a big bunch.
She had just left the courtyard of Songhe Hall when she saw Xiao Mo approaching from the front. The man walked hurriedly: "Wait a moment, I'll go see my grandmother, and then we'll go back together."
Chen Shuyao nodded and waited there. After just a moment, the other party came out.
Seeing the young woman in front of him looking at him intently, Xiao Mo took the initiative to say, "What are you looking at? The Emperor hasn't made a decision yet."
Chen Shuyao hummed, then turned to ask him, "Are you hungry now? Do you want Yan Yutang to arrange lunch?"
Except for days off, Xiao Mo usually doesn't have lunch at home. I don't know why he came back early today, so the kitchen should not have made any arrangements.
The man took her hand and said, "Let's go to the restaurant you went to last time again."
Chen Shuyao looked at the bright sun in the sky. Even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she did not struggle and just let the other person hold her hand.
But she thought for a moment and asked again: "Did you tell me about this when you went in just now?"
Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, "Grandma asked me to bring back some of the restaurant's signature dishes."
After hearing this, Chen Shuyao also felt that it made sense. In addition to sending a copy to her grandmother, she also had to send a copy to her mother-in-law.
The couple held hands and ran into Yin Shuqun, who had just married Xiao Jinrong. Seeing them, Yin Shuqun smiled and called out, "Brother! Sister-in-law!"
Chen Shuyao exchanged a few pleasantries with her, and Xiao Mo went to wait in front.
After the two of them finished talking, she took a few quick steps to catch up with the man.
Yin Shuqun watched them walk away, then turned around and heard the little maid beside her say in surprise, "So that's how the general is in private."
"What else do you think?"
The maid tilted her head: "I don't know either, but he is really good to the Crown Prince's wife."
Then she smiled and said to her master, "From now on, you should spend more time with the Crown Prince's wife. I think she is a very nice person."
Yin Shuqun was silent for a moment as she thought about the beautiful and gentle woman.
Seeing that the little maid didn't move, she said again: "Let's go! The mother-in-law will be unhappy later."
Yin Shuqun had been in the mansion for only half a month, but she would get up early every day to pay her respects at Songhe Hall, and go to Jinhua Hall to serve her mother-in-law lunch at noon.
She had wanted to come to dinner, but Chen felt bad about it. "Jinrong has worked hard outside all day. You can just stay home and wait on your husband tonight. You don't have to come and accompany me."
After having experienced a daughter-in-law like Liu Qingwan, Chen felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Yin Shuqun.
Originally, she didn't need anyone to serve her at noon, but her daughter-in-law insisted on doing so, and she also wanted to see how long she could last.
After Chen got married, she never suffered from the bullying of her mother-in-law. Perhaps because she was the stepdaughter-in-law, the old lady was extremely tolerant of her, almost to the point of indulgence.
Therefore, she had no idea about how the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should get along.
When Chen Shuyao and Xiao Mo got out of the car, it was time for dinner at the restaurant.
There was a lot of noise in the building, and some people who knew the prince came over and said hello.
Seeing that they had something to say, Chen Shuyao pointed to the second floor of the restaurant, meaning that she would go upstairs and wait.
She originally wanted to go into the private room like last time, but the waiter who led the way said that the private room was already occupied.
As Chen Shuyao was hesitating, she heard a woman's voice from the side: "Madam, it's you!"
The servant walking in front was shocked. She originally thought that the woman was just an ordinary official's wife because she was alone with her maid. Could she be the prince's wife?
There is only one wife of a prince in the capital, and that is the one General Xiao married this spring. She is also the legitimate daughter of the Shen family.
The waiter in the restaurant felt anxious. Actually, there must be a private room, but he didn't know that the other party was so powerful!
Chen Shuyao raised her head and saw a woman greeting her with a smile.
At first she didn't know who the other person was, but when she saw Wang Wendong next to her, she remembered Miss Fan who stood next to the wife of the Marquis of Qingyuan when she went to the Big Buddha Temple before.
To avoid being rude, Chen Shuyao smiled and said, "Miss Fan! It's you!"
Then she called Wang Wendong, who was beside the woman, "cousin."
Wang Wendong remembered that the last time he saw the other party was after his proposal was rejected by his mother.
At that time, the mother and son were in a stalemate, and as a result, it was heard that the young lady mentioned a military commander.
He was filled with bitterness, but helpless.
Afterwards, the young lady returned to the Shen family and became the legitimate granddaughter of Master Shen.
It was then that my mother regretted being deceived. Because she felt guilty, she sent my second brother and younger sister to the Shen family for a banquet.
However, he didn't expect that the young lady would become Xiao Mo's wife.
Wang Wendong's mind was in turmoil. Seeing little Fan looking over at him, he smiled and said, "Why are you alone?"
Shen Shuyao pointed downstairs, and Wang Wendong looked outside, but didn't see anyone.
"Yaoyao!" Suddenly a voice came from the stairs.
Xiao Mo called the young lady's name, but his eyes were looking at him with a hint of coldness in them.
At this moment, Wang Wendong's mind suddenly thought of the day when the second daughter of the Xiao family got married, and he asked her about this cousin Xu.
What Xiao Mo said at that time: The young lady has no father or mother, but is very much loved by the grandmother in the mansion.
Every word is true, but it also implies that the other person is not his ideal match.
At this point, what else does Wang Wendong not understand?
It turns out that the little white rabbit had been targeted for a long time.
Thinking of the dark and cunning nature of his cousin, he even suspected that the reason why his marriage proposal failed was because of the other party's trickery.
