Chapter 333 General Xiao, what a coincidence
Although Shen Qingyuan restrained himself considering Chunxi's hard work in raising the child, he still had some problems after abstaining from sex for too long.
The next day, Chunxi overslept and woke up at noon.
She made an appointment with He'er and Yue'er to go shopping together today to choose a gift for Xiao Yechen.
Chunxi quickly asked someone to help her dress up.
"My Lord sent someone to the Xiao family early in the morning to tell them that Madam will be out a little later, so Madam, don't worry."
The maid who was helping with her makeup smiled and said this. Chunxi saw a bite mark on her neck in the mirror and her face turned hot.
She seemed to have scratched Shen Qingyuan several times last night, and she didn't know if it would leave any marks on Shen Qingyuan's body.
After eating something quickly, Chunxi went out.
When we arrived at the agreed place, Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Qingyue had just arrived.
As soon as she saw her, Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but ask, "What difficult thing happened last night? How could you be so tired that you couldn't get out of bed?"
Chunxi: “…”
There's nothing difficult about it, but it does make my waist very tired.
Chunxi was too embarrassed to tell the truth, so she could only put the blame on An An and Ning Er: "It's nothing serious, the child is just bloated and fussy for most of the night, so I slept a little longer today."
Chunxi's tone was very natural. Xiao Qingyue had no doubts. She took Chunxi and Xiao Qinghe's arm and started shopping. She said proudly, "I spent a lot of money to have the doctor at Huichuntang prepare a new scar removal cream. Brother Chen will definitely need it."
Xiao Qinghe felt something was wrong: "General Xiao probably doesn't care about the scar on his face. Yue'er, why don't you think about it again?"
"He doesn't care, but others do. He's not even married yet. If he could lighten the scars on his face, there would definitely be more people willing to marry him."
That does make sense.
Xiao Qinghe stopped trying to persuade her, and Xiao Qingyue continued, "Recently, many people have come to our house to ask for news. It's not just because Brother Achen has made great military achievements, but also because if you marry him, you don't have to take care of your parents-in-law, and you don't have to be bothered by your sisters-in-law and relatives. Just like my little aunt, life is so comfortable."
Chunxi raised an eyebrow.
In the past, those ladies from aristocratic families looked down on her, but now they see how wise she was in choosing a husband?
Xiao Qinghe disagreed, "Everything has its pros and cons. Auntie is indeed living a comfortable life now, but no matter what problems she encounters, she has to find a way to solve them herself. Does Yue'er have the ability and courage to stand on her own like Auntie?"
Xiao Qingyue shook her head without hesitation: "I can't handle so many things. I have to listen to my mother and find a kind and generous in-law family in the future, so that my mother-in-law and husband can protect me."
As they were talking, the three of them entered an antique shop.
The shop assistant was very discerning. Seeing that the three people were well-dressed, he immediately came over with a smile on his face and said, "Three distinguished guests, please take a moment to look around. We have a lot of good things in our shop. Whether you buy them for yourself or as gifts, it will definitely be very prestigious!"
Chunxi didn't understand much about this, and was about to ask the waiter to explain it in detail when Su Yang's surprised and excited voice came over: "Axi."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yang had already arrived in front of the three people.
He called Chunxi, but his eyes kept wandering to Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Qingyue.
These two young ladies are as beautiful as flowers and exude nobility. It is obvious that they are brought up with great care by aristocratic families. They are not comparable to a sparrow like Cao Chunxi who uses tricks to get to the top.
Su Yang called her affectionately, and Xiao Qingyue asked curiously, "Aunt, who is this young master?"
Without waiting for Chunxi to reply, Su Yang rushed forward and said, "Greetings, young ladies. My name is Su Yang. I am a newly minted Jinshi who passed the imperial examination this spring. I am also Ah Xi's childhood playmate. My father and Ah Xi's father were close friends."
Su Yang tried his best to appear polite and refined, hoping to leave a good impression on Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Qingyue.
Chunxi seldom mentioned the people and things in her mother's family. Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Qingyue only knew that Chunxi and Wang had a very bad relationship, and Cao's father died unexpectedly a long time ago. When Chunxi encountered difficulties before, this man named Su Yang never showed up, so it seemed that his relationship with Chunxi was not very good either.
The two of them nodded slightly in response and did not respond to Su Yang's words.
Su Yang couldn't help but look at Chunxi: "Ah Xi, won't you introduce these two young ladies?"
Hearing Su Yang's name again, Xiao Qinghe couldn't help but frown.
Even though Su Yang and his aunt were childhood playmates, his aunt is now a married woman. In such a crowded place, Su Yang should call his aunt Mrs. Shen.
Chunxi knew that Su Yang was calling her that on purpose, so she didn't try to correct him. She said softly, "These two are my husband's nieces, and the eldest and second daughters of the Xiao family."
Su Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.
He had heard before that the Xiao family had two jewels. The eldest daughter, Xiao Qinghe, was gentle and quiet, with both talent and beauty, while the second daughter, Xiao Qingyue, was lively, cute, and bright.
Originally, the marriage between the Wei and Xiao families was a match made in heaven, but unexpectedly, fate played a trick on them. The eldest daughter Xiao Qinghe had only been married for half a year before she had to divorce and return home.
Before they met, Su Yang disliked Xiao Qinghe because she was a second-married woman, but his family background was too poor. Even with Chunxi's matchmaking, he could only marry Xiao Qinghe. But now, seeing Xiao Qinghe's beautiful face, Su Yang was suddenly delighted.
Although this Miss Xiao is no longer a virgin, her appearance and family background are really excellent. Moreover, she was recently conferred the title of Princess Qingyun, with a salary and a fiefdom. It would not be a loss to marry her.
Thinking of this, Su Yang smiled and said to Xiao Qinghe attentively, "I've heard of the virtuous reputation of County Master Qingyun for a long time. Not long ago, Yuexi used incense to harm countless people. At the critical moment, the County Master stepped forward and helped many of those harmed by the incense. She also generously made these methods public. She is truly as brave as a man."
Su Yang's praise was sincere, but Xiao Qinghe felt unhappy. She said seriously, "This matter was first proposed by my aunt, and Princess Hengyang took the lead. I just took advantage of their influence. Master Su is overpraising me."
Princess Hengyang and Chunxi are both married women. What good can come from praising them?
Su Yang didn't care and continued to flatter. A tall figure walked into the store. Although the person was not in front of him, Su Yang could feel the extremely intimidating scrutiny.
Turning his head, he saw a tall, stern-dressed man. The man had a handsome face. Although there was a scar on his face, it did not make him look ugly. Instead, he was full of intimidation, making people dare not look directly at him.
"Brother Achen, what a coincidence!"
Xiao Qingyue greeted him cheerfully, and Chunxi and Xiao Qinghe both turned aside and said, "General Xiao."
Xiao Yechen nodded in response, then looked at Su Yang: "Who is this young man...?"
Xiao Yechen's tone was questioning, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Su Yang straightened his back, and felt inexplicably cold on his back.
This is General Qinglin who killed Xuanyuan Lang in Wengzhou. They have never met before, so why is General Qinglin so hostile to him?
