Chapter 82: More Urgent than the Groom



After Chen Shurong and his wife finished their work in the treasury, they came back early and took a bath and changed their clothes.

Regarding the military tax reform, the Ministry of Revenue has submitted several draft plans to Shen Shurong, but has yet to respond.

Today, Lord Jiang, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, came to inquire in person, but only saw Xie Yunzhao.

No matter what was said, Xie Yunzhao said he didn't understand. Lord Jiang believed that he didn't understand, but couldn't he replace him with someone who did understand?

But Xie Yunzhao sneered. How could he meet the eldest princess?

He didn't want to see the eldest princess, so he could just see the county princess.

After being teased by him, Lord Jiang was very angry when he left.

Chen Shurong laughed as she listened to him. When choosing clothes, Xie Yunzhao deliberately picked two sets of the same color sent by Yunshang Pavilion.

The overall color is purple, the lapels and waistband are sky blue, suitable for both men and women.

Let the maid put it on her, Shen Shurong smiled lovingly, his little tricks were easy to see through.

Xie Yunzheng went to the dining hall early. He had dressed up specially for today and he was sure that Yongjia's eyes would linger on him.

Hearing Chiyu say that the Second Master and the Princess were coming, he pretended to walk to the door casually, but...

The fine and dense pain invaded the whole body again. They were a couple!

I tried to persuade myself, but I couldn't find any clues. The two of them were walking from afar and they looked very well matched.

I wanted to say that she was forced, but I don't know what the two were talking about. When Yongjia looked at Xie Yunzhao, there was a smile from the heart.

Even he has not smiled for a long time!

Her heart was in turmoil. Was she extremely disappointed in him now?

First they were engaged, then it was Li Shuang, and then they became confidants.

Before he could come back to his senses, a crisp "brother" came out of Shen Shurong's mouth, "Brother, why don't you go in?"

"Is Big Brother feeling better?"

She called him "big brother" smoothly. Xie Yun suppressed all his emotions and walked in with his head down: "Much better. Thank you for your concern, Princess."

Xie Yunzhao helped Shen Shurong up the stairs: “Brother, you should pay more attention and avoid the wind.”

Xie Yunzheng clenched his fists in his sleeves. "Xie Yunzhao, you asked for this. Li Shuang's account, I will settle it with him in front of Yongjia. "You are already married, you can't mess around anymore. You knew that Li Shuang and I were poisoned, but you didn't let anyone call a doctor!"

"Brother, you have wronged me. My cousin is determined to get you. If she can drug you once, she can drug you a second time. Rather than being constantly remembered by others, it is better to let her succeed the first time."

Xie Yunzheng secretly thought he was stupid. He wanted to let the princess know how despicable he was. He pointed at him and said angrily, "You! Let the princess hear what you are saying. You can obviously stop it from happening!"

Chen Shurong pretended to pinch Xie Yunzhao: “You can’t just care about your cousin’s feelings.”

Xie Yunzheng:......

Is this what he wants to say?

Xie Yunzhao looked at her aggrievedly: "I took care of everything. Big brother didn't refuse at that time. How can I make the decision for him?"

"What if he likes..."

"Xie Yunzhao, you are slandering me. What do you mean by liking me? I was drugged!" Xie Yunzheng didn't expect that his good brother would turn around and step on him.

"What are you arguing about? Is this honorable?" Duke Lu came in with a gloomy face and said, "Whoever dares to mention the past scandals will be punished by the family law when he gets out."

"Yes, Dad. I feel ashamed and dare not mention it." Xie Yunzhao curled his lips and passed the buck.

Xie Yun was so angry that he almost choked and glared at Xie Yunzhao several times.

When the Duke's wife saw that something was wrong, she laughed and said, "Yongjia, today mother asked someone to make your favorite sweet and sour fish."

"Thank you, mother."

The whole family sat down to eat, and the two concubines stood and served the food to the Duke and his wife.

Xie Yunzhao served food to Chen Shurong. This was how they always did whenever they had a meal since they got engaged.

The Duke of Lu and his wife have gotten used to it. In the beginning, they would complain about it before going to bed, but now they pretend not to see it. As long as Yun Zhao can behave himself, that is better than anything else.

Xie Yunzheng felt upset and couldn't eat after a few bites, but he was reluctant to leave because he hadn't seen Yongjia properly for a long time.

"Brother is getting married soon. Has the new house been decorated?"

Xie Yunzheng closed his eyes. He always brought up things that were not related to the topic.

The Duke's wife continued, "It's almost done. Wan'er's nurse came to see it yesterday and thought it was good."

"That's good. Although it's a waste of youth if a man doesn't indulge in romance, big brother, at least remember that you are going to get married. Recently, the young lady from the Wei family has been involved again. What will the Li family think of our Duke's Mansion?"

Xie Yunzheng was filled with anger. When would it be his turn to criticize himself?

But it did give him a good opportunity to explain to Yongjia: "I have never had any..."

The Duke of Lu interrupted him, "Yun Zhao is right this time. You are the heir of the Duke's Mansion. You must not have any stains on yourself. When your wife gets married, treat her well and the rumors will naturally fall apart."

"Yes, Dad." Xie Yunzheng gritted his teeth.

Xie Yunzhao grinned and said thank you for the compliment, Dad.

Chen Shurong even picked up some food for him as a reward, "My husband is becoming more and more sensible."

The Duke of Lu and his wife nodded in agreement.

The word "husband" hurt Xie Yunzheng again.

He went back and smashed the brush washer. Xie Yunzhao was a bug in the gutter. He could not compete with him in appearance, so he used this method to suppress his impression in Yongjia's mind.

As time went by, she was afraid that she was deceived by him and believed it to be true.

Now even meeting her alone has become against the rules, and explaining in person has become a luxury. Are we just going to let Xie Yunzhao distort the facts?

Did she believe what Jin Zhi said?

In the following days, Jin Zhi went to Chaohuiyuan more frequently, and she would even go there secretly to avoid being known by her brother-in-law.

She could see that the prince wanted to convey some words to the princess through her, but if she still wanted to stay in the Duke's Mansion, she could not lose her status as a dowry.
