The whole internet begged the girl to usurp the throne

Du Qiu's eyes were confused at first, and then she saw the deep affection in Chen Yuanxin's eyes. Afterwards, she seemed to understand something. Shyness crept onto the girl's brows, making her look away in shame, not daring to look at her husband.
This gesture would make any man's heart sink when he saw it.

Chen Yuanxin is not only full of eyes, but also full of love.

Miss Cheng Si is more beautiful and more intellectual and gentle than Liu Fengqin. Liu Fengqin has a young temperament and needs to be coaxed. But Miss Cheng Si is knowledgeable, sensible, gentle and considerate, and is much more sensible than Liu Fengqin.
If he had known that Miss Cheng Si was secretly interested in him, he would not have chosen Liu Ruyan!

The two of them wandered for a long time and saw the sunset, and the afterglow dissipated the charm that belongs only to it at this moment. Looking at the sunset in the autumn, there was love in the eyes, but also a sad and sad sadness.

"I have been born in this capital since I was a child, but this is the first time I have known the magnificence of the capital and seen the fireworks of life. Even if I am trapped in that deep house again in the future, I will still have thoughts and memories to support me."

Chen Yuanxin frowned, feeling depressed in his heart: "Are you still determined to marry you to the Pei family's son?"

"I have only made some inquiries in the past two days. Although the children of the Pei family do not have a wife, there are two places where they keep concubines. Not to mention how many brothels and brothels are similar to Chang Shu. If your father does not know, I'll go tell you!"

A wry smile appeared on Du Qiu's lips: "Father said that a man should have three wives and four concubines. What he likes is the close relationship between the Pei family and the crown prince's mother's family. If I marry, I can call the prince your highness together with the son of the Pei family. Uncle, this is the most important thing."

The crease between Chen Yuanxin's eyebrows deepened and he remained silent.

The Liu family offended His Highness the Sixth Prince, and he was also plotted by His Highness the Seventh Prince. Now he can only stand on the side of His Highness the Crown Prince.
"To grow old together is ultimately the unwillingness that exists in poetry. A few days ago, I mustered up the courage to ask Cui Xi to deliver a message to your house. Originally, I just wanted to see you one last time and say goodbye."

There were tears in Du Qiu's eyes when he said this, as if the last parting was the despair and courage of life and death.

Chen Yuanxin felt heartbroken and pity: "I failed you."

Du Qiu lowered his eyes and lowered his head, his large crystal tears falling with the sunset, and his voice was choked with sobs:

"Brother Yuan Xin, why should I take the blame? It's because I am timid. If I miss it, I will miss it. I am very happy and satisfied to have brother Yuan Xin accompany me these two days, and I have given up my intention of committing suicide. I won't be able to commit suicide tomorrow." Excuse me for disturbing you, but my mother plans to take me to meet the young man from the Pei family in a few days, and then we will probably finalize the marriage."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yuanxin became anxious. Will he stop eating the delicious food delivered to his door and go to someone else's table?

How could he be willing?

"Tell your parents again, if you marry a man like that, the rest of your life will be ruined."

Du Qiu felt sorry for himself: "My parents' orders are the most important and cannot be violated. I really can't argue with them, and they won't listen to me."

Chen Yuanxin rushed to catch up: "Then I will go to your door to lobby. If you don't listen, I will propose marriage to your father. I can't just watch you being pushed into the quagmire step by step."

Du Qiu was stunned: "Brother Yuan Xin, you...are you willing to marry me?"

Chen Yuanxin responded: "I am willing, but I am afraid that I will wrong you."

Duqiu shook his head, with tears in his eyes: "I'm not wronged, as long as I can see happy people every day, whether it's my wife or my concubine, as long as Brother Yuanxin has me in your heart, I don't care about anything."

Chen Yuanxin instantly became happy and his eyes became much more energetic.

But the maid who was following interrupted and said in a low voice: "Miss, the master and madam will never agree to marry you as a concubine."

These words were like a basin of cold water poured on the hot head of Du Qiu and Chen Yuanxin.

Duqiu looked confused, not knowing what to do.

Chen Yuanxin also hesitated and thought.

Liu Fengqin was still pregnant, and something had just happened to the Liu family, so it was difficult to divorce her at this time.

It was not difficult to coax Liu Fengqin into agreeing to divorce, but he changed his mind and remarried. Although the Liu family was in dire straits, the whole family still lived in the capital, so there was no guarantee that someone like Shen Yinluo would come and make trouble.
It is better not to rush this matter. It is better to coax Miss Cheng Si first and ask her to borrow some money in two days to settle the debt and then think about other things slowly.
Chen Yuanxin quickly made a plan in his mind. Duqiu saw that he was silent for a long time, so he took the initiative to answer:

"I'm going to test my mother's tone tonight, and I'll talk to you in detail tomorrow!"

Chen Yuanxin responded: "Okay."
-
Day two.

Chen Yuanxin came to the agreed place early to wait. After waiting, no one came. Seeing that it was approaching noon, Li Shan who was following him asked:
"Sir, do you want to go to Cheng Mansion and ask?"

Chen Yuanxin shook his head: "She ran away secretly. If she came to ask at this time, wouldn't she be asking for it?!"

After speaking, he took a deep breath, and he was really tired of waiting: "There must be something important that got in the way."

Li Shan answered weakly: "Even if something happens and we can't get out of here, we should ask the maid to come out and deliver a message!"

If the person you made an appointment doesn't show up, why don't you even send the maid over to deliver a message?

Make people wait for such a long time.

Chen Yuanxin raised his eyes and glanced at him. Li Shan immediately pursed his lips and said nothing.

After another hour, Chen Yuanxin stood up, unable to sit still any longer.

"Let's go, go back!"

Li Shan supported Chen Yuanxin and was about to go home when Cuixi ran over from a distance, panting:

"Mr. Chen, I've been waiting for a long time. My wife has invited me."

Chen Yuanxin frowned: "Mrs. Cheng?"
-
Cheng Yuan.

On the way here, Cuixi explained the reason, saying that after Miss Cheng Si returned yesterday, she talked to Mrs. Cheng. Mrs. Cheng did not agree with her being a concubine for others, so Miss Cheng Si made a fuss. , and stopped eating that night.

This morning, she wanted to go out for an appointment, but Mrs. Cheng sent someone to catch her. She was put in solitary confinement, and was not allowed to go out even half a step, until the sedan chair of the Pei family came to the door. Cuixi said that her young lady looked gentle, but in fact she had a bad temper. Strong, since she cannot grow old with her beloved in the rest of her life, she will not live.
Now she was rescued, but she couldn't get out of bed. Mrs. Cheng was afraid that her daughter would die in her own hands, so she called her to meet Mr. Chen.
Since Mrs. Cheng is willing to meet, there is some hope in this matter.

As for this garden, it is the other courtyard of the Cheng family.

Chen Yuanxin also understood that the appointment was not at the house. After all, this matter was related to reputation and integrity, so it was naturally difficult to discuss it at the house.
Inside the garden gazebo.

From a distance, you can see that Mrs. Cheng is very handsome and elegant. When her family marries a daughter, the dowry will definitely not be less than that of the Liu family.
"Mrs. Cheng" Chen Yuanxin suppressed his inner thoughts and stepped forward to salute.

Mrs. Cheng's eyelids raised and fell, and she simply replied: "Sit down!"

"Thank you, Madam." As soon as Chen Yuanxin sat down, Madam Cheng went straight to the point:
"I'm here to ask Mr. Chen to meet my little daughter and tell her that the good things you do to her are just brother and sister. Don't let her have any random thoughts."

Chen Yuanxin had already guessed that Mrs. Cheng would say this. He paused briefly, then took a deep breath, and then looked at Mrs. Cheng seriously, seriously and seriously:
"Mrs. Cheng, the Fourth Miss and I really like her, and we hope that Madam will fulfill her wish."

"Success?" Mrs. Cheng snorted: "If the report from this servant is correct, you have only been married to the Liu family's daughter for two months, right? I heard that your wife is already pregnant. How can you have the face to tell me that you like me? , and even more shamelessly asked me to fulfill my request!!"

Chen Yuanxin: "This marriage is the result of Mr. Liu's fancy for me and the marriage was made after several rounds of kindness. Liu Ruyan and I have no feelings."

Mrs. Cheng interrupted: "We are already married whether we are in love or not. I would rather my youngest son marry a fifth- or sixth-rank official than being a concubine for someone else!"

Chen Yuanxin: "."

He wanted to tell Mrs. Cheng that in order to marry Miss Fourth, he could reconcile with Liu Ruyan or divorce his wife.

But you can't say this to him so easily, otherwise it will appear too heartless and unjust.

"Miss Fourth and I really like each other. Please forgive me for my inability to obey."

Mrs. Cheng got angry: "If you really like her, then you have to think about what's best for her! Is it possible that you still want her life?"

Chen Yuanxin's eyes were filled with pity: "I feel sorry for the Fourth Miss before it's too late, how could I hurt her life!"

To put it bluntly, it was not him who hurt her life.

"you--"

Mrs. Cheng was so angry that she had no choice but to relent: "Her father and I love her the most. We can't bear her acting like this, but we will never allow her to be a concubine. If you really like it, just take it out." Sincerely, let’s divorce the Liu family’s daughter first, and the position of the head wife must be vacant before there is room for negotiation!”

Chen Yuanxin probably didn't expect that Mrs. Cheng would change her tune so quickly, or maybe it was Mrs. Cheng who made the request, which was exactly what he wanted, and he could feel more comfortable that he was not entirely responsible for the bad guy.
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Mrs. Cheng asked Cui Xi to see them off.

After sending Chen Yuanxin away, Shen Yinlu and Lu Sanqi came out from behind the stone scene not far away.

'Mrs. Cheng', who had been maintaining her posture just now, stood up immediately: "Young Master, I have done as you told me, and Mr. Chen has also agreed."

Lu Sanqi responded with satisfaction, and then asked Shen Yinwen, who was following him, to stretch out his hand——

Shen Yin was stunned for a while before he understood and took out the money bag from his arms.

Lu Sanqi grabbed a handful of broken gold from the money bag, gave it to Mrs. Cheng and reminded:

"If future generations ask about this, you know what to say!"

'Mrs. Cheng' took the gold with both hands and grinned happily: "Don't worry, young master. You know my background. I will never give you the hush money in vain. If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to do whatever you want."

"Okay, let's go through the back door!"

"Well."

'Mrs. Cheng' called away several servants and maids not far away who were used to fill the scene.

After everyone left, Shen Yinlu took the money bag from Lu Sanqi's hand and muttered dissatisfiedly:

"It's not your money, but you are so generous. That woman couldn't smile from ear to ear. I'm afraid she has never encountered such an unjust taker in her life!"

Lu Sanqi sat on the stone bench, put the tea in his cup back into the pool, and poured himself a cup:
"If you don't want to leave the child, you won't be able to trap the wolf. If you want to trick Chen Yuanxin, you have to be serious."

Shen Yinluo followed and sat on the edge, pouting his little mouth, pouring out all the gold left in the wallet and counting them carefully——

It’s time to rent a house, hire people, and arrange the property in a decent way. Although Miss Duqiu won’t show up today, she still has to count the days.
Adding up all the miscellaneous things, I spent a small two hundred gold today!

This would be worth 2000 taels if converted into silver!

Even if you have money, you can’t afford to spend it like this!

Fortunately, it will be over in two days -
After Chen Yuanxin returned home, Liu Ruyan was embroidering female red in the courtyard.

"Why are you back so early today?" Liu Ruyan asked casually.

Chen Yuanxin looked a little unhappy, and only replied perfunctorily: "The injury on my body has not healed yet, and I really can't sit still today, so I came back early to rest."

Liu Ruyan immediately put down the embroidery pattern in her hand and said with concern: "I advised you earlier not to be in a hurry to get on duty, just go back to the house and lie down!"

"Li Shan, go get the doctor quickly!"
