Chapter 23 Doubt
It was a cloudy day. As soon as the sky lit up, the birds in the yard flapped their wings and chirped endlessly.

After reading the account books for half the night, Yuan Chen woke up from the couch by the window, stretched out his arms and yawned. Several beautiful maids who heard the commotion outside came in carrying face wash, mouthwash, and cleansing towels.

Yuan Chen was in a good mood, cleaned himself up under the service of the beauties, changed into a brocade dress with the most intricate embroidery, and went out with a fan.

Qing Feng and Ling Ren followed from left to right.

Seeing that it was different from the previous route, Ling Ren reminded: "Sir, Zhenxi Pavilion is to the east."

Zhen Gourmet Pavilion is also opened by Yuan Chen. It gathers famous chefs from the north and south. It's hard to decide on a meal. It is a famous restaurant in the capital.

Because there is a Yangzhou chef in Zhenhuo Pavilion who is very good at making porridge, Yuan Chen eats breakfast there.

"Don't go to Zhenxi Pavilion," Yuan Chen said, walking in front, "Go and pick out a gift for Miss Cheng Er."

The Cheng family is considered a high-ranking family. As a businessman, he can't support her, but he can still add glory to her face.

After going to Baoguang Pavilion to pick things up, Yuan Chen had some refreshments in a small Tan on the side of the road, got up and went to Cheng's mansion.

The magnificent and exquisite carriage stopped at the door of Cheng Mansion. Yuan Chen got out of the car calmly and gracefully, looked at the door in front, and said with a smile: "Is Cheng Mansion so lively today?"

"Yes," a person next to him said immediately: "The Cheng family hired several theater troupes and booked more than a dozen tables with Huifeng Restaurant. Their biological children have been living outside for several years, so naturally they have to A bit more lively.”

Yuan Chen glanced at the person who spoke to him, his expression inexplicable.

At this time, a person next to that person responded: "Yes, yes, there is a difference between those who are kissed and those who are not. No, I just came here. The one who has been raised for more than ten years is going to become an adopted daughter."

Yuan Chen wanted to go in if he wasn't talking to himself. He didn't expect to hear these words again, and he felt uneasy.

"Brother."

The two people who were having a lively discussion saw a young man full of chivalry and a face like a jade, walking sideways towards them. For some reason, he nodded blankly: "Brother."

Yuan Chen said: "Haven't you heard of a saying? It is better to cultivate kindness than to give birth to kindness. Sometimes children born by one's own children are not necessarily better than those raised by one's own hands."

"You mean, the Cheng family will still love their adopted daughter?"

When discussing gossip, the two of them didn't have time to pay attention to the appearance of the young man who came to talk to them.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chen felt that he was bored. They were obviously two unrelated people. What was he doing with them so much?

Turn around and go.

"Second Master."

Zhang Ku's voice sounded from behind.

Yuan Chen was shocked. He turned around and saw his senior brother dismounting from his horse.

"Brother," Yuan Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said with a surprised look on his face, "Why are you here?"

Chu Wei looked at the gate of Cheng's house and said, "My family also received a message from the Cheng family. I happened to have something to do with Miss Cheng, so I came here."

As he spoke, he walked inside.

The Miss Cheng that the senior brother was talking about couldn't be Xueyao, right?
The housekeeper of the Cheng family who was receiving guests outside was more shocked than surprised when he saw Rui Minghou, and quickly ordered his servant to run in to invite the master.

"My dear, please see Marquis Ruiming." The steward immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Chu Wei nodded politely, and the housekeeper said flatteringly: "My master didn't know that Marquis Ruiming would be coming, so he had already informed him. Marquis, please come first."

Chu Wei walked in and looked at the servants and maids from the Cheng family who were watching the excitement. At this time, they all turned around and ran home.

Marquis Ruiming actually showed his favor.

What great thing has the Cheng family done?

When the news came in, Mrs. Cheng was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. She glanced at both sides and saw that her four well-behaved granddaughters were all there, missing out on today's protagonist.

"Where is Second Miss?"

Now Xin Nuo is the second young lady, and the former second young lady was Miss Yao.

The servant girl didn't misunderstand at all, and hurriedly said: "My servant just went to visit the Liyuan, and the second lady is still asleep. The old lady didn't let me call, saying that the second lady is still young, and she will sleep until Sishi at home."

"What?" Mrs. Cheng's face changed. At the same time, a woman ran in from outside, clapped her legs excitedly and said, "Old madam, Marquis Ruiming asked to see you. He said that he was destined to go with the second lady on the road, but he didn't expect that We can see each other again, and today I would like to congratulate her on returning to her biological parents."

Mrs. Cheng was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She called out to her quickly and ordered: "Zhang'er Mao'er, hurry up and invite the second lady."

When the man walked in, he seemed to bring the coolest summer breeze, and faintly, he seemed to bring a piano sound that cleansed his heart and lungs.

The four young ladies of the Cheng family were sitting upright and did not dare to squint.

"Meet Mrs. Cheng."

The sound is like the gurgling of empty water in an ancient stream, which makes people feel refreshed.

Mrs. Cheng, an old woman, looked at this young man and couldn't help but sigh, no wonder most of the noble ladies in the capital were heartbroken by this Ruiminghou.

She had a royal order, but she did not dare to accept the full salute from Marquis Rui Ming, she turned sideways, then returned the half salute, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's presence really makes our small mansion flourish. "

Chu Wei was not used to politeness and was about to ask directly if he could have a few words with Xinnuo alone.

A woman dressed simply and pitifully stood up and came forward to greet him: "Young lady Cheng Xueyao, I have met Marquis Ruiming."

Chu Wei subconsciously took a step back. He was not used to standing too close to women.

"Miss Cheng, you're welcome." He said calmly.

But Cheng Xueyao didn't seem to feel his cold treatment, she bowed shyly again, turned around and stood aside.

The voice that would ring in her ears from time to time seemed to have disappeared at this time. The three sisters who were led by Cheng Xueyao to stand up and pay homage to Chu Wei all paid homage to Chu Wei. Then the voice said: "Why didn't you tell me? There is such a high-end beauty here.”

Xinnuo, who walked in with a yawn, happened to hear these words. When she stepped across the threshold, she glanced at Cheng Xueyao first.

But the other party was not in the mood to pay attention to her at all, and was currently talking to that voice: "I told you a long time ago that I have a sweetheart, and it's him."

The voice that didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost paused, and then cut it and said: "It's not good to be good-looking, without money and power."

"Didn't you hear? He is Ruiminghou, the current grandson, and the only son of Princess Luyang." Cheng Xueyao said, looking at Chu Wei with infatuated eyes.

Chu Wei frowned slightly and was about to get down to business and leave. Unexpectedly, his arm was held by a soft little arm.

"I heard you came to see me?" The girl's voice still sounded lazily as if she had just woken up.

Chu Wei felt a numbness spread from his ears and arms.

He wanted to pull away his hand, but was worried about being rude, so he stiffened his body, hummed, and said, "I have some questions about what you told Piaofeng yesterday."
