There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 535 Coincidence, or scheming? (one more)
Luo Cheng then said, "The old lady said that ten years ago, Mrs. Hengyang's daughter accidentally got lost while visiting the Lantern Festival in the first lunar month."

"..."

"However, Mrs. Hengyang found her again not long ago, but Miss Zhao didn't want to go back to her original self, so she ran away quietly again."

Li Jiaoniang said, "The old lady thought that Miss Zhao ran away, so she didn't come back, but she didn't know that Zhao Rui had committed suicide. This running away is probably an excuse given by Mrs. Hengyang to conceal the cause of Miss Zhao's death. "

"..."

"After all, if a person comes back but doesn't show up for a long time, it will still cause others to speculate."

"..."

"Madam Hengyang couldn't bear the blow, so she didn't report the funeral without telling the truth. But what does it mean she found me? I have already made it clear that I have no intention of recognizing her as a foster mother."

"When you were with her, did you notice that she was acting strangely, for example, trying to harm you?" Luo Cheng asked worriedly, frowning.

Li Jiaoniang shook her head.

She was about to say "no", when Wushuang, the maid sent by Mrs. Hengyang, came.

Li Jiaoniang winked at Luo Cheng.

The two stopped talking immediately.

At this time, they were sitting in the outer room of the east wing.

Li Jiaoniang picked up the tea bowl and pretended to drink tea.

Luo Cheng asked Wushuang, "What's the matter?"

Wushuang bowed to them, "Say, sir, lady, dinner is ready, lady Sang asked me to ask, where should I put it?"

"Just put it here." Luo Cheng said.

Wushuang nodded, "Okay." Then she left again.

When she walked away, Li Jiaoniang said, "I don't want this maid, but Mrs. Hengyang forced it to me. Her power is so powerful that she overwhelms her."

"Madam Hengyang didn't treat you well, did she?" Luo Cheng asked again.

Li Jiaoniang shook her head, "No." She narrowed her eyes, "However, putting a maid by my side, I think it's a bit like watching me."

Luo Cheng said coldly, "Then drive her away!"

Li Jiaoniang pressed his hand, "Luo Cheng, you can't drive her away now, and now, you can't offend Mrs. Hengyang too much. Her status is too high, and she is scheming. If we cause trouble, you can pat her sleeves." Let’s go, but where is Cong’er?”

Luo Cheng looked at her and frowned again.

"Acquainted with a son for a day, a son for a lifetime, we can't ignore him." Li Jiaoniang said.

Luo Cheng also didn't want to abandon Zhao Cong so casually.

"Not really," he said.

"Besides, I'm afraid we can't hide our current identities." She smiled wryly, "If we were Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang from Yunhe County back then, if we offended someone, we would offend them, and it would be the same in another place. We live the same life, and few people recognize us anyway.”

"..."

"But now..., too much is involved."

Luo Cheng took her hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, Jiao Niang, I have everything. Whether it's that maid or Mrs. Hengyang, no one dares to hurt you. Just do what you like."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just feeling that my life has become complicated."

Since entering Yuezhou City and Lin'an City, she found that although the money has increased, she no longer has to cook and wash and clean herself, but her life is not peaceful.

……

There is no war in the Central Plains, and the Spring Festival in Lin'an City is getting more and more lively every year.

In Li Jiaoniang's previous life, she was always busy, busy paying off her parents' debts, helping to earn money to support her grandmother, and never had a good year.

Now in another world, she wants to have fun and enjoy the new year no matter what she says.

During the half month from the first day to the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, either Zhao Cong invited, Zhao Gui invited, and the Lu family also invited once.

When Zhao Shicheng was busy preparing for the wedding banquet, he also invited him once.

Mrs. Hengyang picked her up and went back to the village twice, but instead of going alone, she took Luo Cheng with her.

At first, Mrs. Hengyang did not agree with Luo Cheng to go.

Li Jiaoniang said that if Luo Cheng didn't go, she wouldn't go.

Mrs. Hengyang had no choice but to agree.

With Luo Cheng around, Mrs. Hengyang didn't say anything about adopting a daughter to Li Jiaoniang, and she was obviously more polite.

This kind of alienation is exactly what Li Jiaoniang wishes for.

After the fifteenth day, the festival was over, and everyone started to get busy with business, and the matter of inviting Li Jiaoniang to play and eat was less.

No one invited me for sixteen days.

On the day of Seventeen, it was past halfway in the morning, and no one came to invite him.

Luo Cheng suggested that they go play by themselves.

Li Jiaoniang immediately agreed.

Tomorrow is Zhao Shicheng's big wedding day. Although Li Jiaoniang has already prepared gifts, she thought, if there are so many shops in the city, if she goes shopping, maybe she can find a more heart-warming gift?

Therefore, Li Jiaoniang chose the street with many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and went shopping with Luo Cheng.

Wushuang naturally wanted to follow, and she couldn't be driven away.

Li Jiaoniang was quite a headache, and she had no chance to talk to Luo Cheng alone.

As she walked, Li Jiaoniang saw a teahouse in front of her.

She said, "Ah, I'm tired from walking, let's go to the teahouse and have some tea."

Find an excuse to ask Wushuang to go shopping, so she and Luo Cheng can talk alone.

Luo Cheng looked up and saw that this was a large wooden pavilion teahouse.

It is two storeys high and the main gate has four doors.

Because it was just after the new year, everyone had free time, and there were a lot of people coming in and out.

In the building, there is still the sound of silk and bamboo.

Luo Cheng said, "It looks like a lively place, it's good to go in and have a rest."

The two walked into the teahouse.

Wushuang looked left and right, then walked in.

The noise on the first floor was too loud, so Luo Cheng took Li Jiaoniang to the second floor.

At this time, a waiter came to greet him with a smile, "How many customers are there? Do you have a reserved seat?"

"It's just us, there is no reservation, so you can choose a quiet place." Luo Cheng said.

"Okay, there are still empty seats upstairs, and it's very quiet." Xiaoer smiled and gestured to him.

On the second floor, it is indeed quieter here.

There are private rooms divided into rooms, and there are also open tables.

However, the tables on the second floor are placed farther apart than those on the first floor, and there are bonsai placed in the middle with carved screens.

More privacy.

She came out to watch the excitement, and it was boring to sit in the private room, so Li Jiaoniang chose a corner by the window and sat down.

"Just here, here is good." Opposite is the stairs, and everyone who goes up and down can be seen clearly.

Next to the window, under this window is the gate of the teahouse, and you can see all kinds of pedestrians on the road.

Suitable for watching the fun.

Luo Cheng gave the money and sent the waiter some good tea and snacks.

Xiao Er happily went downstairs.

The two sat down.

As usual, Wushuang stood behind Li Jiaoniang, quietly waiting.

When three people walk together, there must be a light bulb.

Li Jiaoniang turned her eyes and said, "Wu Shuang, I wanted to go to the street ahead to buy some snacks, but I'm tired from walking, you walk fast, can you help me buy some?"

Wushuang immediately said, "I am Lady Li's maid, and I will do whatever Lady Li tells me to do. Don't need to be polite, it's very embarrassing for Wushuang!"

Li Jiaoniang nodded, "Okay, okay, then you can run away."

She mentioned the name of a pastry shop, "Choose three or five new ones, and buy some back." She also mentioned a shop of a north-south goods store, "Pick a few dried fruits that we eat less, by the way, pine nuts and watermelon Buy more seeds, His Royal Highness likes to eat them, and prepare him to go to the house. In addition, across the street, there is Yixiang Garden, the fried chestnuts in it are very good, so I also buy some back."

"Understood, Lady Li." Wushuang replied.

Luo Cheng gave the money, and Wushuang said again, "I'll be right back, you guys wait."

When she went downstairs, Li Jiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally gone."

Whenever she and Luo Cheng were talking, this Wushuang would lean over to listen.

Really speechless, the EQ of surveillance is too low, right?

Can you be more professional and give her some face?

At this time, Xiao Er brought snacks and tea.

Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang enjoyed the street view while eating.

At this moment, she accidentally saw a person.

Li Peiyu!
When Li Peiyu passed the gate of the teahouse, he collided with a person who was getting off the carriage.

The man was about to get angry, but when he saw that he was a young lady, he laughed again, took Li Peiyu's hand, and asked questions.

Li Peiyu doesn't seem to hate it yet?
Very enjoyable?
"Qin Xi?" Luo Cheng recognized the man and snorted softly, "It's really shameless, holding the hand of an unmarried girl on the street!"

Li Jiaoniang sneered, "She seems to be enjoying it, what are you worrying about?"

After being dismissed by Mu Xuan, is this Li Peiyu planning to break the pot?Being held by a strange man in the street and still refusing to let go?

Li Jiaoniang admired her thick skin.

Luo Cheng turned his head away, as if watching the scene downstairs too much would cause eye problems.

He lifted the teapot and poured tea.

But at this time, Li Jiaoniang said again, "No, there is a problem."

Luo Cheng asked, "What's the problem?"

"Li Peiyu and Qin Xi did not meet by chance, but met with a purpose." Li Jiaoniang sneered, "It's very scheming."

Luo Cheng looked downstairs, "Who is playing tricks?"

He went to pour tea just now, but he didn't see the next scene.

At this moment, I only saw Qin Yu walking forward, followed by Li Peiyu and Mrs. Li Er, and the three of them walked into the teahouse together.

Li Jiaoniang sneered, "Of course it's Mrs. Li's mother and daughter. I just saw that Mrs. Li was secretly winking at Li Peiyu, and Li Peiyu immediately followed the request, only missing Qin Yu's arms. Isn’t this a scheming thing?”

Luo Cheng said, "The Qin family is richer than the Mu family, they must have made a comparison."

Li Jiaoniang laughed, "Then Qin Xi's age is not much younger than Mrs. Li's, and twice as old as Li Peiyu. Mrs. Li is willing to send her daughter to him to befriend him? Really..."

She didn't know what to say.

Mu Xuan is not a good man, but he is a young man anyway.

Qin Xi's son is almost as old as Li Peiyu, and his character is not good.

It's true, for the sake of wealth and honor, Mrs. Li didn't even want face.

"Qin Xi is not a good person. Mrs. Li's mother and daughter will be at a disadvantage sooner or later if they associate with such a person. Jiao Niang doesn't need to pay attention to them." Luo Cheng said, "I just go out to relax, so don't worry about anything else? Let's have tea .”

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "I don't care, I don't care about Li Peiyu, I'm just surprised."

Without Wushuang, the two chatted freely.

However, Wushuang's movements were astonishingly fast. Li Jiaoniang told her to buy more than a dozen items, and she had to run two streets and three shops. She actually bought them all in just two minutes.

Wushuang put a large cloth bag on her shoulders on the ground, and took out the things in the bag one by one and put them on the table.

"Miss Li, these are snacks, these are watermelon seeds, these are pine nuts..."

Everything was bought right, and the quantity and quality were adequate.

Li Jiaoniang, "..." She rubbed her forehead, "Thank you for your hard work, let's have a cup of hot tea and some snacks."

She and Luo Cheng still had a lot of tea and snacks, and they brought another cup for Wushuang.

Wushuang waved her hand, "No, no, madam has told you that I am a servant, and Mrs. Li is the master. Master and servant cannot share the table."

"Your wife is particular about it." Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

Don't eat if you don't eat, she doesn't force it.

After resting and shopping, Li Jiaoniang was worried that the food that Wushuang was carrying would be crushed, and she was also worried that if the girl went shopping with a big bag, would she throw it away in anger?
Li Jiaoniang decided to go home.

But Wushuang became more active in shopping, "Miss Li, don't you stop shopping? Didn't you say that you still haven't visited the West Lake?"

Li Jiaoniang: "..."

Is this girl a masochist?
From here to the West Lake, there are still three streets, two or three miles, she is not afraid of being tired?
Or set her up?

Li Jiaoniang waved her hand, "Stop shopping, my feet hurt, I'm going home."

"Then I'll call a carriage?" Wushuang said again.

Li Jiaoniang: "..." She was speechless, "I can't stop, I'm not too tired, just walk around and stretch your muscles."
