Red makeup against the world

Chapter 632 Back to Mother's Home

Chen sneered, and said: "You think I am willing? This is not forced by you. Xu Wan really has the backing of the empress dowager. Before I did anything to her, the empress's punishment came down first. Tian Nanny is beside her Look at it, can I do it without changing my attitude?"

When she said this, Wu Lie believed it a little bit. "I advised you earlier, but if you didn't listen, you had to hit the south wall before turning back. In the future, you should take care of the affairs of Yuanju. After this period of time has passed, I will report to the Empress Dowager and ask her to be an old man." Raise your hand high, there is no place where people can live in a Buddhist hall."

Chen's heart has long been cold and hard, Wu Lie's concern is not painful.From what she heard, he was more worried about angering the empress dowager.

Immediately he snorted, and said: "Don't worry! I have now recognized the situation clearly, I can't afford to provoke, can I still hide?"

Wu Lie sighed slightly, and said: "It's great if you think so. I just hope that I can live in peace for a few years, and there will be fewer troubles in the mansion. You don't know the situation outside, there are quite a few people staring at our mansion .”

Mrs. Chen nodded noncommittally, and chased people away: "It's late at night, does the Duke want to stay overnight?"

Wu Lie glanced at her, then went to the outer courtyard with a stampede.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was only slightly pale, so Tu Manzhen got up to wash up.

The matter of her sister yesterday and Xu Wanzhen's words in the night were tossed and turned in her heart, and she didn't sleep well that night.

Yuyan opened the dowry box, and carefully put on makeup on her to cover the black and blue under her eyes.Said: "Miss didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night, it's better to sleep for a little longer."

Tu Manzhen shook her head, "I have something on my mind, I can't sleep."

Just after washing up, the sound of green wheat came from outside the door. "Miss Second Cousin, can you get up? Madam ordered the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and put a carriage on the door on the right side, Miss Cousin is always available."

Tu Manzhen smiled and said, "No one knows me better than my cousin Wanzhen. Thank your wife for me, and I won't say goodbye!"

Followed Swift to the kitchen to serve breakfast, and then went to the East Wing.Tu Manfen had just opened her eyes at this time, and before she got up, her eyes were even darker and her face was as white as paper. It was obvious that she had a very difficult night.

Tu Manzhen suppressed the sadness in her heart, and said with a cheerful smile: "Sister, get up quickly, use up early, sister, I have to go out!"

She didn't mention what happened yesterday, for fear of making her sister sad.

Yinping came in with hot water for Tu Manfen to wash up.After only one night, the clothes on her body looked empty, not like a pregnant woman.

Swift puts the breakfast on the table one by one, including steaming rice porridge, shallot tofu with beautiful color, goose palm that melts in the mouth, delicious and tender hibiscus shrimp balls, etc., which can be called rich.

Even though Tu Manfen didn't have any appetite, seeing such a rich breakfast, she knew that Xu Wanzhen had ordered it to be carefully prepared.I couldn't bear to brush off this kindness, I used a little of everything, and my stomach was full.

"Sister, you can rest at ease. Sister, I checked last night. This Zhiyuan residence is full of people brought by cousin Wanzhen from the Xu family. There are also female guards patrolling the courtyard. It is the safest."

What happened to Xu Wanzhen in the mansion, Tu Manzhen didn't intend to tell her sister right now, firstly, the matter was over, and secondly, she was too busy to take care of herself, even if she knew about it, she would feel worried for no reason, and she would have nothing to do to help Xu Wanzhen.

Tu Manfen nodded, and said: "You go. I have no idea about this matter, and I will let my mother arrange it."

This is the result of her thinking all night.

For Cheng Jinghao, although the two had met before marriage, they only stayed at this person and it was not bad. Marrying into his family, I have the impression that I can raise my head among the sisters, which is really not a deep relationship.In the month after marriage, following the rule of not having an empty bed in the new house in the first month of marriage, the two of them had been harmonious for a while.

Tu Manfen was originally a slim beauty, and Cheng Jinghao had also been fresh for a while.But later, he gradually got tired of it, thinking that she was too dull and ignorant on the bed, not as interesting as those women outside.Gradually, she returned to her habit before she got married, and lingered in the flowers.

Therefore, it is really impossible to say how deep Tu Manfen's feelings for him are.It's just that her teaching since she was a child told her to marry and follow her husband.Facing a husband who wanted to murder his wife's flesh and blood, the knowledge she had acquired in the past was not enough for her to face the current predicament.Since I don't know what to do, I might as well let my mother arrange it.

Tu Manzhen nodded, and said: "I think so too. Don't bother me about this matter, sister, just keep the baby safe."

The carriage carrying Tu Manzhen set off from Duke Zhongguo's Mansion, all the way north, out of Anximen, and went straight to Songxi Academy.

Xu Wanzhen also packed up at this time, and together with Wu Zhengxiang, they took a carriage to the Princess Mansion.

……

Mrs. Li has just washed up and is having breakfast under the service of Aunt Qing.

A little servant girl reported outside the door: "To Da Furen, Second Miss is back."

Mrs. Li was overjoyed at first, but then she was puzzled, this is not a festival, what is Manzhen doing when she comes back?Even if I occasionally think of going home, I will send my family members in advance to say, so suddenly, what happened?

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Let her in quickly."

Seeing that she was worried, Aunt Qing quickly comforted her and said: "Madam, don't worry, the second young lady has a temper, maybe she got something good again, and I specially brought it back for you."

Tu Manzhen had indeed done such a thing, and after hearing this, Li felt relieved.

Tu Manzhen's brisk footsteps sounded outside the door, and the painting hall stepped forward to close the curtain. Tu Manzhen quickly stepped into the room, and saluted: "My daughter has seen her mother!"

"Why are you here so early suddenly? Have you had breakfast yet?" Li Shi asked with concern.

Tu Manzhen looked at her mother and smelled the familiar smell of food. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. She couldn't help throwing herself into Li's arms, crying "Wow".

Startled Li Shi, she was as busy as she was when she was a child, patting her on the back and coaxing: "Don't cry, don't cry, tell mother slowly what's going on. But did Liu Qiran bully you?"

Tu Manzhen raised her head with sobs, wiped her tears and shook her head, and said, "No. Mother, my daughter has something to tell you."

Seeing this, Aunt Qing hurriedly gave a salute and said, "Ma'am, this concubine remembers that Brother Ming still has something to do, so I will step back first."

Mrs. Li nodded in agreement, and ordered: "Everyone go down, the painting hall has guarded the door."

In a few breaths, all the maids and maids in the room retreated, and Mrs. Li patted Tu Manzhen in her arms and said, "Okay, tell me quickly what happened."

Mother and daughter bond, although Tu Manzhen has a bluffing temper, she seldom cries like this.Mrs. Li was anxious, and when the people in the house dispersed, she hurriedly asked.
