After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 66 Red Mark
The next day, Ruan Yuyi was in a drowsy sleep when she was awakened by Mu Xiang. She asked Mu Xiang to help her to sit up.

"Miss, sit down and wake up, I have to go to pay my respects to Madam today." Mu Xiang whispered beside her.

She responded, and suddenly felt a slight itching on the side of her neck, so she scratched it twice with her nails.In fact, speaking of it, this red envelope was there after returning from the temple, probably because I was bitten by some mosquito while walking through the banyan tree.

Her skin is delicate and prone to red marks, and she scratches unconsciously at night, so there is already a small crimson dot there, at first glance, it even looks a bit ambiguous.

When Mu Xiang was dressing the young lady, she also noticed it, so she took some anti-itch medicine and gave her some.

As he was going to Cheng Zhu's place, he found some boys in twos and threes carrying a lot of paulownia wooden boxes to the west chamber. Each box was covered with a piece of red silk cloth. If you look closely, you can see the carvings on the boxes It is decorated with exquisite dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns.

Ruan Yuyi was suddenly in a daze, remembering that when she first entered Cheng's mansion, her dowry was carried in with such decorations.It's just that things are different after all.

It is still the custom in her hometown to make boxes with paulownia wood.Somehow, it spread to the capital.

Those who have a daughter in the family will choose a good place on the mountain after the daughter is born, and plant a paulownia tree. The tree will grow up with the people. The best craftsman, for the dowry of the daughter to be married.

Because when she was young, when she heard the sound of suona, gongs and drums outside, she knew that a bride had passed by, so she always liked to run out, hide behind the door and watch quietly, and sometimes she could receive the wedding ceremony thrown by the procession. Colorful peanuts or maltose.

This is what will cheer her up all day.

Paulownia wood has been seen a lot, she can recognize it at a glance.

Ruan Yuyi withdrew her eyes and entered Cheng Zhu's courtyard.Inside, Cheng Zhushi and Zhao Rongzheng had a heated discussion, and after listening to a few sentences, she could tell that they were talking about the wedding banquet.

She knew that after this wedding banquet, it would be her.The days left for her passed day by day, but she didn't see much progress on Shizi's side. It would be a lie to say that she was not flustered.

When Aunt Mei passed by, she smiled slightly at Ruan Yuyi, and Ruan Yuyi just stopped her thoughts and bent her lips towards her.

Seemingly aware of Ruan Yuyi's arrival, Cheng Zhu let her sit down.She straightened her skirt, but before she sat down, Cheng Zhushi suddenly stopped her again with a gloomy expression.

"Sister Yi," Cheng Zhushi said, pointing her neck, "what's wrong with your neck?" There was no one around her, so how could there be such a mark, and it was still in such a conspicuous position, what does it mean? ?It shows that she doesn't take her mother-in-law seriously at all.

She knew that Qiu'er had no more affection for Sister Yi, but if it was Qiu'er—the plan to marry her to Rui'er could only be shelved for the time being.

Thinking about it like this, her face became more and more ugly.

Zhaorong also stopped talking at this moment, and looked at Ruan Yuyi, there was indeed a red mark, her heart skipped a beat.But last night she was with Xing Qiu all the time, and after feeling relieved, she leaned back in the chair, as if watching a play.

"Yo, this is—" Zhaorong smiled slightly, and said leisurely, "Who did my sister spend with yesterday?" Since she knew it wasn't Xingqiu, she would be happy to see who Ruan Yuyi was having trouble with As a result, in this way, Xingqiu would no longer want her.

After Ruan Yuyi applied the medicine, the itching on her neck disappeared, and now she touched it up, only to realize that they were talking about the mosquito bite.

Both Zhaorong and Cheng Zhushi had weird expressions on their faces, as if she just said one more word, which met their guess, and she would be charged with the crime from then on.Seeing them like this, Ruan Yuyi also knew that the two of them were supercilious.

She put down her hands and blessed her body in a polite manner, "Last night, the doors and windows were not closed tightly, and when I woke up, I found that I was bitten by mosquitoes. Don't worry, Auntie, she has already taken the medicine, and there is no discomfort at the moment .”

Hearing this, Cheng Zhushi was taken aback for a moment, beckoned her to come forward, and took a closer look, the red mark was slightly swollen, wasn't it just bitten off by mosquitoes.What kind of man can be so powerful, and an extra piece of meat comes out after one bite.

Zhao Rong has also experienced the incident, and now he also knows that he has misunderstood, so he turns his eyes away and doesn't speak anymore.

Ruan Yuyi had an obedient expression, as if she didn't understand their allusion, but it seemed that the two of them were thinking deeply.Cheng Zhushi didn't care about this either, he let out a sigh of relief and allowed her to sit down.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Cheng Zhu pulled Zhaorong to talk about the topic just now, "Your Highness is really wronged. The government is really struggling recently, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely make up for it."

Since Cheng Zhu's family is in charge of all the officials in the mansion, although Mr. Cheng would not talk to her about ordinary official matters, he still talked to her about the income and expenditure of the Cheng mansion.

Master Cheng dereliction of duty, fortunately, he only withheld his salary, not to mention anything else, no matter how you say it, Mrs. Cheng Zhu is still a little lucky.Originally, she was afraid that the princess would look down on the Cheng family because of this matter, so she just took a breath and felt relieved.

She knew that Princess Zhaorong was really interested in her eldest son.

Zhao Rong waved his hand indifferently, "Since I have said that the missing money will be paid from the Princess' Mansion, Madam just need to be at ease. We will be a family from now on, there is no need to talk about whether to make up for it or not."

The princess's mansion is still rich, so why care about such money, if she really has to care about it, she is afraid that Xingqiu will suspect that she does not treat him sincerely.

Cheng Zhushi smiled so that the wrinkles on his face were piled up in one place, and the powder on his face seemed to be falling down, "Your Highness is really sensible. The Empress Dowager is really good at teaching."

Well taught - how could he teach a third prince who murdered his father and usurped the throne.

It was an ordinary flattery, but upon hearing it, Zhaorong smiled.For the sake of the Tian family's face, what her three emperor brothers did was not reported to the outside world. She knew that Mrs. Cheng's words were unintentional, but she still kept her face cold.

She suddenly thought of the rejection of the new emperor yesterday, and finally couldn't sit still.This time, she was acting arbitrarily and recklessly, relying on the fact that asking for a marriage decree is a convention and there is no express rule, so she planned to skip this step.

Now that she thinks about it like this, how can she not be angry, so she said with a flick of her sleeves, "I'm a little tired today, so I won't be with Madam." Then, she walked away quickly, with the smile on her face still Cheng Zhu stayed where he was.

The hall fell silent, everyone was puzzled by Zhaorong's sudden anger.

Cheng Zhu's face was offended, and it was not easy to ask for it from the eldest princess, so he turned his face to Ruan Yuyi and the others, "Since that's the case, let's leave it like this today. Sister Yi, Auntie knows you are safe." Don't expect any incidents to happen in the next few days."

Ruan Yuyi lowered her eyebrows and answered.
