Chapter 248 Discovery

Qiu Ling and Ling Long explained it so clearly, but Du Ruo still didn't care.

Cheng Yunshuo doesn't love either of them, and neither of them loves Cheng Yunshuo.

Nothing Cheng Yunshuo did could affect them. They just had to be a qualified concubine, with a good mistress to protect them, and just live their own lives.

But Du Ruo is different.

She really likes Cheng Yunshuo.

I like him so much that I am willing to do anything extraordinary for him, and I am also willing to do anything to change myself.

She was obsessed with him, crazy about him, and now she wanted to know what he was doing.

Seeing her useless look, Qiu Ling gave up saying anything more. She looked at Ling Long with a look of disgust and helplessness. Ling Long said, "The prince has been sleeping in the Louguang Pavilion these days and has never summoned me in."

"I once took the initiative to go in, and he scolded me and said that I was not allowed to enter his room without permission in the future."

When Du Ruo heard this, his eyes first lit up with joy, and then he frowned.

Qiu Ling waved her round fan with a look of disgust, "Men are like that. When they like you, they treat you like a treasure, but when they don't like you, you treat them like weeds!"

"Who said it wasn't true?" Linglong fanned herself without getting angry or annoyed. "It's better to believe in ghosts than in men! If I were to say, if we can live on our own, it would be best if we never get married and live our lives based on how much we can earn. Even if life is a little bit harder, it's still a hundred times better than living with a man!"

"That's right!" Qiu Ling agreed. "I really hope that one day we women can set up our own households, earn money and live a self-sufficient life! Without men, there will be no men!"

Du Ruo listened to what they said, and felt in his heart.

Humph, they don’t understand love.

I don’t know how beautiful love is.

I didn’t know that two people in love can defeat thousands of troops!

However, getting some answers from Linglong made Du Ruo feel better.

It didn't look like she had offended Cheng Yunshuo, so she asked him not to go to her place.

But if it wasn't her fault, then what was the reason?

Du Ruo was even more confused for a moment.

Lu Lingyun has also noticed that something is wrong with Cheng Yunshuo these days.

It’s not that Cheng Yunshuo didn’t come to her yard to check in and look after the children, but there was a problem with the account book he sent over.

"Where does this expenditure come from? Why is there an increase of more than 200 taels recently?" Lu Lingyun asked while flipping through an account book.

The account of more than two hundred taels was not conspicuous in the huge account book of the Marquis's Mansion.

But who is Lu Lingyun? She loves to calculate numbers and is very careful in her calculations, so she easily saw the clues.

The manager who presented the account book was from Yaoguang Pavilion. He took it and looked at it and said, "This is the account that Qingfeng Lai withdrew. He said that the prince wanted to use it."

Lu Lingyun looked at all the things. In just a few days, the price of the coins increased from a few dozen taels to more than two hundred taels. The expense was huge.

Qin Shaojing of the East Courtyard hired a witch doctor, who paid him an extra 500 taels a month. Of course, after the witch doctor informed Qin, Qin said that she would pay Qin Shaojing alone for the money.

Lu Lingjun didn't know how Qin Shaojing complained to her aunt. Anyway, Qin turned a blind eye to the matter of the witch. She could guess that Qin was also worried about Qin Shaojing's choice of a son-in-law, but she didn't know who the witch was.

These are all extra words. Speaking of the accounts, Cheng Yunshuo's recent spending rate is almost as high as that of a fortune teller.

Maybe he also has someone he keeps somewhere.

"Call Qingfeng over to me!"

"Madam, Qingfeng has gone out with the prince."

"When will he be back?"

"Maybe it's at night. These days, he and the prince come back very late."

When Lu Lingyun heard this, his eyebrows slightly raised. Could it be that Cheng Yunshuo really had someone outside?

"When Qingfeng comes back, call him over."

"yes!"

night.

Cheng Yunshuo came back very late again tonight.

When he came back, he walked towards his own Yaoguang Pavilion. Halfway through, a faint and graceful figure appeared in front of him.

"Master!"

Cheng Yunshuo: "......"

Du Ruo ran towards him with resentment, and when she got to him, she stared at him with a pair of watery eyes filled with love.

Cheng Yunshuo: "......It's so late, why are you still awake?"

Du Ruo leaned against him aggrievedly, stretched out her hand and drew circles on his chest, "Why didn't you come to see me these few days?"

Cheng Yunshuo's expression suddenly changed. He looked around and said, "I came back late these days, so I didn't want to disturb you."

"I knew it was like that." Du Ruo smiled brightly, "Master, you must have been busy with your reinstatement these days. I know you have always been ambitious."

Cheng Yunshuo: "......"

Cheng Yunshuo's neck suddenly turned red.

He felt so embarrassed and guilty when he heard this!

"Master, why are you being so formal with me? No matter how late you come back, I will wait for you." Du Ruo took Cheng Yunshuo's arm and was about to pull him to his own yard, "Go to my yard."

"Okay." Cheng Yunshuo was like a puppet at this moment. He didn't shake off Du Ruo's hand, nor did he take the initiative. He just followed her while she was holding his hand.

Along the way, Du Ruo kept chattering and Cheng Yunshuo kept responding.

This is extremely rare, and even showed a much stronger response than usual.

He responded to whatever Du Ruo said.

After entering the house, Du Ruo was very happy to see Cheng Yunshuo, who was chatting with him particularly well today.

With lust in her eyes, she hugged Cheng Yunshuo's waist and said, "Master, they say a short separation is better than a new marriage. It's our short separation too."

But at this moment, Cheng Yunshuo, who had been actively responding all the way, refused without hesitation, "It's getting late, go to bed early."

"Master!" Du Ruo acted coquettishly and used various tricks to attract him.

Cheng Yunshuo pushed her away, got on the bed by himself, took off his shoes and socks, and went to sleep. When he was about to close his eyes, he added, "I'm really tired these days, let me rest for a while."

When Du Ruo heard this, he responded reluctantly.

She knew that she couldn't be too clingy. If she was too annoying, she would end up following the same path as Xing Dairong, which would displease Cheng Yunshuo.

Du Ruo tried her best to please Cheng Yunshuo.

She walked forward and silently took off Cheng Yunshuo's shoes and socks. At this time, she suddenly noticed the pattern on Cheng Yunshuo's socks.

Amidst a row of auspicious cloud patterns with crude stitching, there is a tiny chrysanthemum, which is embroidered with superb craftsmanship.

The moment Du Ruo saw the small chrysanthemum, his whole body froze.

Because she embroidered this pair of socks for Cheng Yunshuo.

But this chrysanthemum was not embroidered by her!

In an instant, Du Ruo felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

Someone touched the socks she embroidered for Cheng Yunshuo and even embroidered something on them!

This is simply a demonstration to her!
