"I heard some noise in the yard, I thought you were back." Chen Jie bent down, brushed his fingers through her long black hair, and saw the tired look between her brows in the mirror, "What's wrong, what did your mother-in-law say to you?"
Du Yaoyao turned around and hugged his waist, burying her face in his clothes, "My father told you, right?"
"What?" Shen Jie gently rubbed the back of her neck.
Du Yaoyao sighed quietly.
"About your brother?" Shen Jie asked.
"Well," Du Yaoyao looked up, "Do you agree?"
"No," Shen Jie raised her chin, "I'm going to come back and ask Madam."
"Stop it," she clapped his hands, "What did you say?"
"This is a serious matter, please consider it."
Du Yaoyao felt relieved, she guessed that Chen Jie would not agree immediately.
"No need to agree. I'll talk to them tomorrow."
"Don't you want your brother to become an official and get rich?" Shen Jie laughed.
"If you don't become a high-ranking official, you can't make money. It's better to do business." Du Yaoyao stuck out her tongue and said seriously, "The situation in the court is not good now. If you put my brother in there now, it will be like giving Prince Chen and his men a live target."
Chen Jie smiled, his eyes showing admiration.
Du Yaoyao continued, "My father was close to my aunt's family. My aunt's daughter-in-law and Prince Chen's wife were sisters. My father always had a lucky heart, thinking that he had connections with both Prince Chen and the Crown Prince, and that my brother would be able to make a living in the officialdom. He didn't know that the fighting among the princes... was fierce and dangerous."
The fight for the throne involves relatives by marriage, and no one can remain neutral.
For example, Du Yaoyao, as the niece of Prince Chen, married to the prince's confidant. If she was loyal to the Yongning Marquis Mansion and did something that would damage the Chen family, the prince would definitely send her to hell in a second.
Similarly, because she did not stand on the side of the Marquis' Mansion, Prince Chen regarded her as an enemy, disregarding his aunt's face, and used insidious means to bully her in order to humiliate Shen Jie.
The overall situation is still undecided. When Du Wenwu enters the court, Prince Chen will tacitly agree that he will serve under the Crown Prince and will definitely not show mercy.
If possible, Du Yaoyao hopes to wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne, lower his rank and make him a prime minister, and then give Du Wenwu a chance to gain experience. This method is feasible.
Selfishly, Du Yaoyao didn't want the Du family to have too much connection with Shen Jie. Somehow, she felt that even if she changed the plot and escaped, she would not stay with Shen Jie for long.
"Yaoyao is right. Let's see later." Chen Jie said.
Du Yaoyao knew that the "after" he was referring to was after the prince became emperor, and that day would not be too far away.
Chen Jie had already started planning for the Eastern Palace, and things in the capital would soon change.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Chen Jie rubbed Du Yaoyao's tightly furrowed brows and scratched her small nose.
"My mother-in-law is in a difficult situation. You are far away in the capital and cannot help Qingzhou. I will find a way, okay?"
I have to say, Chen Jie is sometimes a very cute and eloquent person.
"Thank you, husband--" Du Yaoyao called sweetly.
"Thank you, husband. You can't just use your mouth..." Chen Jie's fingertips slid into Du Yaoyao's collar.
"Then what should I use?" Du Yaoyao blinked her eyes pretending to be confused.
"You can use your mouth, too." Chen Jie stared at her bright red lips, slid his fingers upwards, and poked her mouth, "It's quite tight."
“Ahhh——” Du Yaoyao screamed and said “Pah” twice, “You wish!”
The place where men pee is so dirty.
"Why, can't we reciprocate?" Shen Jie said with a smile, "I've eaten yours several times."
"I'm a fairy and you're a stinky man, how can we be the same?" Du Yaoyao argued speciously.
"No matter how fragrant a fairy is, she will eventually be made soft by a stinky man." Chen Jie picked her up and pressed her on the dressing table, "Come, let me smell whether it is more fragrant above or below."
Du Yaoyao dodged, "I haven't taken a shower yet."
"Isn't it better to keep it original?" Shen Jie teased, pulling and ripping off her clothes.
