Chapter 217 Plan
As soon as Shen Zhao left, Xie Tingzhou pulled Shen Yu to face him, "Do you feel betrayed?"
Shen Yu shook her head, "I'm fine."
Xie Tingzhou held her face and said, "I know you have been wronged. You can resist and fight back, but don't get angry with yourself."
Chen Yu bit her lower lip, leaned on Xie Tingzhou's shoulder and hummed, feeling aggrieved.
Shen Zhao watched from afar, rubbed his chest, and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
How long has it been since this girl acted like a spoiled child with him like this? When she was a child, she would always act like a spoiled child with him and her father whenever she was scolded or fell down or was tired from practicing martial arts.
Now he felt both relieved and sad. He felt sad because she seemed to need him less, but he felt relieved because she could still be a child in front of Xie Tingzhou.
Xie Tingzhou combed her hair and comforted her, "I remember you told me that you never ask for anything in return. If you don't ask for anything in return, you don't have to expect others to treat you with sincerity."
"Don't preach to me now." Chen Yu muttered, "I'm still angry."
Xie Tingzhou smiled. She understood the logic, but she was holding back her anger and wanted to vent it out.
"How about we fight back? To let you vent your anger?" Xie Tingzhou asked.
Chen Yu thought about it, "Then I would really become a traitor."
"What are you afraid of? I'm here."
Chen Yu's hair was smoothed and she sat up straight, "I'm not afraid of them, but once a war breaks out, the common people will suffer again."
Xie Tingzhou poured her a cup of tea and asked, "What are your plans now?"
Chen Yu pondered for a moment, "I feel something is wrong. Li Zhaonian shouldn't be this kind of person."
"You trust him."
Chen Yu said: "It is difficult to change a person's temperament in a short period of time. He can't do such a radical thing. There are only two possibilities. One is that he was suppressed by the court officials and had to issue this proclamation. The other is that he was coerced."
Moreover, Shen Yu found it strange that they issued a proclamation against her but did not touch the Hezhou Lu family. This was very subtle.
Xie Tingzhou rarely showed any sign of jealousy. He thought for a moment and said, "I thought of someone."
"Li Jifeng." Chen Yu looked at him and said the name he was thinking of.
When they were in Beijing, Li Jifeng did not show any hostility towards the two of them. Instead, he helped them a lot and even delivered a letter to Xie Tingzhou on behalf of Chen Yu.
“I don’t want to make malicious assumptions about him.
, but Li Jifeng is a person. "Chen Yu said: "I can't see through it."
Xie Tingzhou stood up and stood by the pavilion. "I used to think he only liked pleasure, but now I can't see through his preferences. People without desires are very scary."
"You don't have any?"
"Me?" Xie Tingzhou looked back at her and chuckled, "Yes, I do. My desires are deep."
His tone was slow and drawn out, concealing a hint of temptation.
Shen Yu calmed down, looked at Shen Zhao in the distance, and shouted "Brother" loudly.
Shen Zhao came over and patted her shoulder, "Now you recover so quickly."
Then he said to Xie Tingzhou: "In the past, I would have been angry for several days at least."
"Let's talk business." Chen Yu glared at him. "I can't stay in Hezhou. My grandmother will know about the proclamation sooner or later. I will take the initiative to tell her later to avoid scaring her. The family depends on you."
"No problem." Shen Zhao nodded, "But I can't stay for long."
"Have you told your sister-in-law?"
Shen Zhao was worrying about this matter, and Shen Yu knew the answer without saying anything.
"It's better to tell her earlier." Chen Yu said, "So that she can be mentally prepared."
Xie Tingzhou stayed at the mansion at night, but he set up a guest courtyard which was some distance away from Shen Yu's courtyard.
The two of them could no longer move around freely like they did in Shengjing, but could rest quietly in their own yard.
Shen Zhao sat in the courtyard for a long time before returning to his room.
These days, the two of them slept on the same bed, or at most held hands under the quilt.
It was late at night, but Yu Wanqiu had not yet washed up and was still wearing her daytime clothes, waiting for him.
"Why haven't you rested yet?" Shen Zhao asked.
Yu Wanqiu closed the door and said, "There are things I want to tell you."
Seeing her being so serious, Shen Zhao felt uneasy for a moment, and sat upright on the stool, "I also have something to tell you, you go first."
Yu Wanqiu sat down and moved to face Chen Zhao, "The day after tomorrow... the day after tomorrow we will get married."
Shen Zhao swallowed, fearing that she would say something like calling off the marriage.
Yu Wanqiu then said, "After getting married, many things are different. I have been taught by my mother since I was young, and I only know about the affairs of the inner house. I am not as generous as Ayu."
"No." Chen Zhao hurriedly held her hand, "You don't have to belittle yourself. You are you. You don't have to compare yourself with anyone. In my heart,
There is no one like you here.”
"What about Ayu?"
Shen Zhao was speechless for a long while before answering: "You two are the same in my heart."
Yu Wanqiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I was just teasing you. I am only good at the affairs of the inner house. I can take care of the affairs at home, so you don't have to worry about it. Ah Yu is a woman after all, and I, as a sister-in-law, can't help at all. You still need to help with the things outside."
Shen Zhao looked at her gentle face under the lamp, and his throat choked several times.
How could he not understand what she meant? She wanted him to just do what he wanted to do and she would take care of everything at home.
"Late autumn."
"Why are your eyes red?" Yu Wanqiu laughed at him, and the next moment he was embraced by Shen Zhao.
Chen Zhao hugged her tightly. How could he deserve to marry her?
Yu Wanqiu also reached out and hugged his back, "I know you have great ambitions. If I confine you to this house, it would be useless to you. That would not be the Chen Zhao I know. Just go. I will take care of everything at home. I will be filial to your grandmother on your behalf."
It is said that men don't shed tears easily. Chen Zhao has not cried many times in his life, but today he really couldn't hold back his tears.
"Who told you what?"
"No." Yu Wanqiu said, "The prince is here to pick up Ayu. They will leave soon. I went to see Ayu today, and the servants said you were discussing important matters. I guess it is related to your future plans."
Shen Zhao loosened his arms and kissed her gently on the forehead.
She was so smart and perceptive that she guessed what he was going to say from just the smallest details, and spoke before he did, dispelling all his doubts.
Chen Yu was worried that telling her grandmother last night would make her sleep poorly, so she decided to tell her today.
As soon as I walked into the yard, I heard Madam Lu laughing happily, and then I heard Changliu's voice.
"My two little turtles were very good friends when they were little, but when they got older they started fighting."
"Why didn't you bring it this time?" asked Mrs. Lu.
Chang Liu said with some regret, "I wanted to bring it with me, but when we set out from Beilin, Zhong Bo hadn't arrived yet, and the little turtle was following him."
"What are you talking about?" Xie Tingzhou asked, and walked closer to greet Old Lady Lu.
The old lady smiled and asked them to sit down, saying, "This child is very cute and has a sweet mouth."
Chang Liu added, "The old lady is indeed good at seeing things, but they all say that I am stupid."
