Looking at Chen Jie's back, Du Yaoyao couldn't hold back any longer and tears fell down.
Yin Ye quickly opened the umbrella, brushed away the snow on her hair and clothes, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Madam..."
Du Yaoyao sniffed and said, "I'm fine..."
She just felt cold, the snow soaked the roots of her hair, the cold air went straight into her neck, and her heart was also cold.
Helpless and without support.
…
Du Yaoyao was sick for another day or two after she returned home. Her health was really poor. While she was sitting on the bed drinking medicine pitifully, she received a letter from Qingzhou.
The story of seducing my cousin is not over yet. The original owner's aunt complained to her parents, and her father instructed her in a letter to go to the Yongning Marquis's mansion to apologize. If she didn't listen, her source of income from the shop in the capital would be cut off.
The original owner spent money lavishly and did not give her the key to Chenjie's storehouse. She only gave her a few dozen taels of silver as a monthly salary. Her daily expenses all depended on the several shops in the capital that she brought as a dowry.
The shop owners all came from Qingzhou. She only cared about spending money and never took care of the accounts. The final say was still with her father.
Du Yaoyao scratched her scalp.
She didn't care much about the interruption of funding source, but she was afraid that if she was stubborn and refused to go, the original owner's parents would come to the capital, which would be troublesome. My aunt is a precious sister-in-law in the family.
I came to apologize, and the arrogant aunt could be so easy to talk to and just let the matter go? What if someone steps on my face again and makes me laugh at myself again, people in the capital city.
The family of a noble is full of troubles. How can she deal with such a large family of troublesome ancient people? The male protagonist has always been a decoration who watches from the sidelines.
What if Shen Jie came forward and went with her?
An idea suddenly struck Du Yaoyao's eyes and they lit up.
The Chief Censor is a first-rank official position, which is equivalent to the title of Marquis of Yongning. This matter will definitely be handled with utmost care.
The difficulty lies in the fact that Chen Jie is no easier to talk to than her aunt.
Du Yaoyao had no choice but to use her ultimate move.
She asked Yin Ye to send an invitation to Lin Shuwan, the granddaughter of Mr. Lin, and invite her to come to her house for a visit.
When talking about Lin Shuwan, we have to introduce her in detail. In the original book, this woman is said to be the male protagonist's white moonlight and the object of jealousy of all the women in the male protagonist's harem.
She was beautiful, kind-hearted, demure and polite. According to gossip, Chen Jie lost his wife and never remarried, and had no children, all because of her.
Unfortunately, Lin Shuwan, like the original owner, was a cannon fodder who died early in the book.
The original owner’s death had a lot to do with Lin Shuwan.
However, when Du Yaoyao came here, she would not let the tragedy happen again. From then on, she established a good relationship with Chen Jie's "sweetheart".
He won't accept Jinzhi for the time being, but he will definitely keep his gentle cousin in mind. If you work hard to bring them together, there will definitely be a glimmer of hope in the future.
This time, he showed his loyalty and courtesy to his cousin, and asked her to persuade Shen Jie and use his influence to help him make an appearance. He believed that Lin Shuwan would have no problem doing so.
The post was sent out in the morning, and Lin Shuwan came to the house in the afternoon.
It seems that the cousin has her own cousin in her heart. After three years, Du Yaoyao is entangled with the cousin of the Song family again. Lin Shuwan feels sorry for Chen Jie's reputation.
The weather was extremely cold and Du Yaoyao had not yet fully recovered. She forced herself to work in the kitchen for a long time.
Yin Ye led Lin Shuwan into Du Yaoyao's bedroom, which was beautifully decorated with golden bonsai flowers and red jade bead curtains, giving an atmosphere of great wealth and nobility.
Lin Shuwan frowned slightly.
Du Yaoyao saw it when she entered the room, and understood it immediately. She deliberately said, "Cousin, look at how nicely my room is decorated. Alas, your cousin doesn't like it and hasn't been to my room for two years."
The study and residence in the lower floors are simple and practical, and are filled with books and famous paintings. Lin Shuwan is a talented woman, and like Shen Jie, she certainly cannot appreciate the extravagant style of the nouveau riche.
With just a few words, he found resonance between the two of them, and pointed out that Chen Jie had been innocent for the past two years and had a bad relationship with his wife.
Sure enough, Lin Shuwan's brows relaxed and she smiled faintly, "My cousin's wife has unique preferences." She was like a lady from a wealthy family, well-educated.
Du Yaoyao forced herself to praise, "Thanks to you, cousin, for understanding me." Pulling Lin Shuwan to sit down, she sighed, "I asked my cousin to come here today because I really have something to ask of you."
"Cousin, please tell me if Shuwan can help." Lin Shuwan took the tea offered by Yinye and took a sip.
Du Yaoyao acted embarrassed, "Hey, you know, I got drunk a few days ago and had some misunderstandings with my cousin at the Song family. Look, my father sent me a letter, asking me to go to Yongning Marquis's Mansion to apologize..."
After a pause, he continued, "You must have heard about my aunt's temper. She is really hard to deal with. Hey, I want your cousin to go with me, so that I can avoid being scolded."
With Chen Jie around, the Yongning Marquisate will definitely be much kinder.
Lin Shuwan remained calm, "Why didn't my cousin tell my cousin?"
It is really difficult to communicate with ancient ladies. Even the obvious things need to be brought out through conversations.
Du Yaoyao's face fell and she said truthfully: "My relationship with your cousin is not much better than that between me and my aunt."
Lin Shuwan covered her mouth and chuckled, "How would you know if you don't try it, cousin?"
"It's impossible for me to succeed if I try." Du Yaoyao was certain, and pleaded, "I want to ask my cousin to try for me and persuade your cousin to go to the Marquis' Mansion with me."
Lin Shuwan did not agree immediately.
Du Yaoyao continued, "We hate each other, and life is meaningless. After this is over, I want to find an opportunity to discuss divorce with your cousin."
Lin Shuwan said politely, "Husbands and wives need a lot of adjustment." She took another sip of tea and agreed, "Then I'll try it for my cousin's wife."
Du Yaoyao got what she wanted and asked Yin Ye to bring the sweet soup that had been warmed in the kitchen for most of the day, "Cousin, please help me send this over as well."
