The next day, Shen Jie specially asked for leave from the court and accompanied Du Yaoyao to the Yongning Marquis's mansion to apologize.
Last time, she was carried out because she pretended to be dizzy and shabby. This time, in order to save face when going out, Du Yaoyao got up early and dressed up carefully.
Leaving behind her previous fame and heavy makeup, she dressed in an exceptionally pure and elegant manner.
She was wearing a smoky pink gauze skirt and a plain white cape. A circle of fox fur at the edge of the collar made her small face look crystal clear. Her long hair was loosely tied and scattered behind her. She lowered her head slightly, with thick black eyelashes, pink lips and white teeth.
What a beautiful lotus flower emerging from the water.
Seeing the flash of amazement in Chen Jie's eyes, Du Yaoyao's vanity as a beauty was slightly satisfied.
As expected - men are visual animals and like pure and harmless little white flowers.
Chen Jie was more attentive than usual, and when he saw her step out of the door, he came over to help her get into the carriage.
Even after getting on the carriage, he did not loosen his hand, but gently rubbed her waist. Du Yaoyao was willing to be good to him and snuggled up to his shoulder docilely.
"Don't you eat well on weekdays?" Chen Jie held her waist with one hand, showing concern for her.
This body was originally thin because of being picky about food. After Du Yaoyao came here, she encountered troubles frequently and was worried and frightened. She couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. How could she be happy and fat?
"I don't have a good appetite." She replied calmly.
“Tell the housekeeper in the mansion what dishes you want to eat. We can hire a chef from outside.” Shen Jie reminded.
"Yeah." Du Yaoyao was too lazy to exchange pleasantries. Close your eyes and relax.
Soon we arrived at the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
The gatekeeper opened the door, and Yin Ye introduced his identity to the visitor. The gatekeeper looked back again and again, and was amazed and surprised at the beautiful couple beside the carriage.
It was no wonder that the servant was surprised. Even the wife of the Crown Prince of Yongning Marquis's Mansion, Ruan, was extremely surprised.
Ruan was Song Xingkai's wife. She was a lady from a wealthy family whom her aunt had arranged for her cousin.
When Ruan heard that Chen Jie was visiting with his cousin, she went out to greet him. The Crown Prince and Prince Chen don't get along, but as a woman in charge of the household, she has to give some face to Chen Jie, a first-rank minister.
Ruan was beautiful and gentle, and she smiled and said, "What kind of wind brought Yaoyao and Lord Shen here today? Come into the mansion quickly."
The last time Chen Jie accompanied Du Yaoyao to visit was three years ago, right after they got married, when he symbolically accompanied the woman to visit her aunt's home.
This time is clearly different. Not to mention the change in Du Yaoyao's appearance, Chen Jie's attitude alone is intriguing enough.
It would be a huge scandal for any man if his wife seduced her cousin, but Chen Jie came here openly, obviously not taking it seriously.
He walked side by side with Du Yaoyao at a slow pace, and when they went up the stairs, he extended his hand to support her.
The inadvertent attention and care cannot be concealed.
The maids and old women lowered their heads, and no one dared to say a word about what happened that day.
Ruan was leading the way in front, when suddenly a stone hit Du Yaoyao's feet, accompanied by the clear scolding of a young child:
"You bad woman! You are not allowed to enter my house. You are the bad woman who seduced my father!"
Du Yaoyao was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice. There was a little boy about two years old standing under a plum tree on the side, glaring at her angrily.
