Family members and relatives are different.
Family is the people who are always in your heart no matter how far you go. Relatives, if they are kind to you, they are your relatives; if you turn a blind eye and do nothing about them, they are strangers.
Chen Jie was an orphan since childhood, and Du Yaoyao was almost the same.
Her parents only gave birth to her but did not raise her, so she and her grandmother depended on each other for survival.
To some extent, she and Shen Jie care more about the warmth of family company than ordinary people.
But what makes Chen Jie different from her is that he grew up eating at many people's houses, and his ability to strategize in the officialdom, read people's expressions, and understand people's hearts is countless times better than hers.
Du Yaoyao couldn't guess whether he was playing the victim or expressing his true feelings. But his words really touched her heart. This body looked so fragile to outsiders.
She pushed him and said softly, "Okay, it's over. I was also wrong in this matter. I will pay attention next time."
Let’s just move on from this.
The two returned to their room. Du Yaoyao remembered the sweet soup that was warming up in the kitchen, so she called Yin Ye to bring it over, and at the same time tried to please Chen Jie.
"Did you handle the Prince Chen's affairs?" Ask first and don't tell him about the reward.
Shen Jie raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
"You're not looking for another 'patient' to trick the King, are you?"
The last time Chen Jie revealed his embarrassing experience, Du Yaoyao immediately thought of sexually transmitted diseases.
"No," Chen Jie smiled and tapped her nose, "Chu Xun is not the type to refuse anyone who comes."
"That's right. A prince has no shortage of women." Du Yaoyao nodded, curious, "Then how did you do it?"
Chen Jie didn't want to tell Du Yaoyao about the secrets of the palace, and said vaguely: "Bribe a woman who has been in love with him for a long time, just like that..." He held her waist and shook it left and right twice.
Having had experience in love affairs, Du Yaoyao understood immediately and covered her mouth and said, "Was it...broken by sitting?"
"Um."
It was probably broken. Without modern sophisticated medical surgery, Chu Xun would probably be ruined for the rest of his life. As expected, once the boss makes a move, we’ll know whether it’s effective or not. Du Yaoyao quietly gave Chen Jie a thumbs up in her heart.
"Where is the woman you bribed? Is she dead?" Chu Xun's arrogant and willful personality would probably not let the culprit off.
Shen Jie shook his head, "I won't die."
Du Yaoyao looked at him suspiciously, "Since that woman has been in love with Chu Xun for a long time, could it be that she was coerced or bribed by you?"
Chen Jie laughed, "Do I look like such a bad person?" He patiently explained, "They have a grudge, and the woman has been lurking for a long time."
"Oh." Du Yaoyao pretended to be surprised.
It's no wonder that she interrogated him for so long. In the book, Chu Xun had many women, but nothing like this had ever happened to him. He only brought up a scandal about him having an affair with his stepmother before he died, which made the emperor very angry.
Wait, stepmother, won’t die? Du Yaoyao was suddenly shocked, could it be a concubine in the harem? Moreover, he has been lurking for a long time. He is Chu Xun’s enemy. He looks too much like a pawn of Chen Jie and the prince!
"What's wrong?" Shen Jie noticed that Du Yaoyao was distracted.
"It's okay." Du Yaoyao tapped his chest and said nonsense, "I was thinking that it's better for men to stay within their own boundaries, without so many grudges and disputes."
"I think so too," Shen Jie agreed, hinting with a smile, "I have always been very content."
Du Yaoyao: “…”
Based on your performance in the book, I can't respond to what you said!
The sweet soup was served, and Du Yaoyao opened the porcelain lid. In the pottery jar, there was snow-white glutinous rice mixed with green lotus leaves, and purple sweet potato balls floating in the clear soup. If you smell it carefully, you can smell the sweetness with a hint of wine.
This is made by Du Yaoyao imitating modern wine-fermented desserts. For the sake of convenience, she used fresh glutinous rice, added rice wine, put a little dried lotus leaf for color, and rolled some purple sweet potato balls into the pot.
She filled a bowl and placed it on the table, motioning to Shen Jie, "Try it?"
Chen Jie was not in a hurry to use the ladle. Du Yaoyao was afraid that he would worry like last time, so she scooped a ladleful and swallowed it first.
But Shen Jie's attention was not on her, he stood up and instructed Liu'er outside the door.
