Chapter 13 Dedication Rejected
Chu Liangrao was moved a little bit in her heart, her heart was warm, she thought to herself: Sure enough, it is her own father, and I don't know what is wrong with the former master, who actually cheated on him?Wouldn't she feel guilty for bullying such a handsome father?

After drinking tea, Chu Chaoyang asked what Chu Liangrao was doing recently, and Mother Du smiled and said, "Returning to the prince, the princess has been reading and practicing calligraphy these days."

"Oh?" Chu Chaoyang's handsome eyebrows slightly raised, with a look of disbelief, but he didn't pursue it.Such an expression deeply shocked Chu Liangrao, well, she will take the blame for the crimes of the former lord, and she will bury the hole left by the former lord.

After asking again about Chu Liangrao's daily life, Chu Chaoyang left at ease. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Chu Liangrao of the family dinner at noon.Mother Du said with a look of embarrassment: "My lord, the princess is still grounded..."

After a moment of silence, Chu Chaoyang said, "Today makes an exception."

Mother Du was overjoyed. Chu Chaoyang smiled and walked out of the room. You must know that after he got off the horse and met Gu and his mother, he came to see Chu Liangrao without even changing his clothes. After Sapo lost his temper, he calmed down, and then slowly went back to his room to change his clothes.

"My lord." Dong Xue, who was waiting outside the door, curtsied when she saw him.

"En." Chu Chaoyang responded, pushed the door open and walked into the room, but he didn't see Mrs. Gu, only Xia Hua was left in the room, and asked, "Where is the princess?"

"Responding to the words of the lord, the wangfei accompanied the old lady back to the room." Xia Hua replied softly, her watery eyes timidly swept across Chu Chaoyang's jade-like face, and her fair skin was instantly stained. She was blushing, and her earlobes seemed to be dripping with blood. She lowered her head and stepped forward, "This servant will serve the prince to undress."

Chu Chaoyang guessed what was going on at once, his eyes and voice suddenly turned cold: "No need, let's go out."

"My lord..." Xia Hua's voice trembled a little, and she said with a clear face, "This slave is voluntary..."

"Get out!" Chu Chaoyang didn't keep his face any longer, he yelled sharply, and Xia Hua's face turned pale with fright after a sharp glance.After all, he was a man who had been on the battlefield, and without the cover of his smile, the fierce murderous aura couldn't be blocked, Xia Hua couldn't be in the mood to cry until Lihua rained on her to seek mercy, so she had to salute and leave the room.

Seeing Xia Hua coming out with a pale face, Dong Xue, who was guarding the door, guessed that the matter might not work out, so she said, "I'll ask the concubine to come back."

Xia Hua was so choked up in her heart that she couldn't say a word, so she just nodded her head to indicate that she understood.After Dong Xue left, seeing no one around, the tears in Xia Hua's eyes fell onto the flower embroidered on the toe of the shoe one by one.

You have to know how hard-won this opportunity is today, but she messed it up, why doesn't it make her feel sad?If it hadn't been for the old lady telling Gu in the morning that she wanted Chu Chaoyang to accept a niece from far away from her family, how could Gu have let go because of the reason that the fat and water would not flow to outsiders, and the old lady was merciless in Chu Liangrao's room. Xia Hua was arranged here only after stimulating Gu's face to face.Now that it fails, I'm afraid the princess will blame it.

After shedding a few sad tears, Xia Hua wiped her face and cheered up, so as not to be seen by others.

After a while, Mrs. Gu returned to the room with her maid, looking at Xia Hua, who was guarding the door in neat clothes, she had a strange look on her face, she couldn't tell whether it was happiness or regret.Mother Lin, who was following behind her, sighed secretly, and glanced at Chun Yu's slightly raised lips, her mind was very complicated.

In front of Xia Hua, Gu Shi paused and said, "Go down and wash your face before serving."

"Yes."

Mrs. Gu ordered again: "You don't have to go into the house to serve, and I will call you again if you have something to do." This time, Mama Lin was left outside the door without exception. Afterwards, Mrs. Gu turned her anger on herself... Thinking of the fate of Xianghe and Xiangju, the two servant girls on Zhuangzi, Mama Lin couldn't help shivering.

Pushing open the door, Gu Shi saw Chu Chaoyang leaning in front of the couch with a stern face. No matter how long he saw this handsome face, Gu Shi had a sense of unreality and illusion.Clenching her palms tightly, Gu asked gently, "My lord, let's wash and change first. The family banquet has been prepared, and I'll wait for you to start the banquet."

This was to tell Chu Chaoyang that, after all, it was a day of family reunion, and harmony was the most important thing.

Chu Chaoyang calmed down a little and said, "Siying, you've overstepped the rules." Siying is Gu's boudoir name.

"My concubine has been busy with the affairs of the mansion, I don't know where I have overstepped the rules, I hope the prince will remind me." Gu said calmly.

Seeing that Gu's tone was rusty and resentful, Chu Chaoyang thought of Gu's hardships these years, and said patiently: "You let me do such nasty things in such a clear sky, what is it?"

"I just follow my mother's wishes and consider for the sake of the Chu family's incense, but I don't know that this is a sin, and I hope the prince will forgive me." Gu Shi said and bowed down, but her waist was straight, without the slightest The meaning of being soft.

What Gu said was half-truth and half-false, but it brought out real grievances, which was very convincing.

Frowning lightly, Chu Chaoyang asked, "But mother is making things difficult for you again?" Knowing the mother is nothing like the son, the old lady is concerned about the issue of offspring besides worshiping Buddha, so it is not impossible to make things difficult for the Gu family.

Biting her lip, Mrs. Gu didn't say a word, but her stubborn and forbearing expression brought out a different style.

Chu Chaoyang stopped asking, and said, "Forget it, let someone fetch water." After that, he took a shower and changed his clothes without mentioning it.

After Chu Chaoyang finished washing, Mrs. Gu personally helped him brush and comb his hair, with a peaceful expression and no mood swings just now.The loose wet hair added a bit of softness to Chu Chaoyang's sculptural facial features, Gu said softly: "Husband, today's matter is due to my lack of consideration, and it has nothing to do with my mother."

Chu Chaoyang looked at Gu's calm face from the mirror, but did not respond, and Gu fell silent.

After a long while, Chu Chaoyang asked, "I looked at the maids in Ah Rao's room very strangely, what's going on?"

It is reasonable for Chu Chaoyang not to intervene in this kind of inner courtyard matter, but Mrs. Gu still told him about Xianghe's illness.

After changing into their regular clothes, the husband and wife took sedan chairs and went to the old lady's room, because the family banquet was held here.

The two walked together to the door and heard laughter and joy coming from inside. Chu Chaoyang was slightly surprised. When did the old lady's Huarong Courtyard become so lively?Because of his martial arts practice, he already had excellent hearing, and he could recognize Chu Liangrao's voice when he listened carefully. He couldn't help but wonder, when did this child get so close to his grandmother?
Could it be... His face darkened, Chu Chaoyang strode into the room, and saw Chu Liangrao sitting next to the old lady talking vividly, and the old lady also smiled lovingly, and when she saw Chu Chaoyang came, she said: " Yang'er is here, why didn't anyone tell me, but they are all just looking out for leisure?"

Qin'er jokingly said: "No, the princess's joke hooked our souls, and I hope the prince will forgive us."

"No." Chu Chaoyang was relieved when he saw that there was no trace of mischief.

Chu Liangrao stood up from the old lady, and bowed to Chu Chaoyang in a proper manner, and Chu Chaoyang greeted the old lady after receiving it.Mrs. Gu, who followed closely, also stepped forward to greet the old lady, but the old lady said seriously: "Ah Rao, it's time to learn this rule."

Although Chu Liangrao's name was mentioned in these words, they were meant for Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu didn't show any displeasure, but still had a smile on her face, and said: "What the mother-in-law said is that it's all due to the negligence of the daughter-in-law. If you change the rules, the daughter-in-law will arrange to educate the nanny to be in charge of Ah Rao."

"You don't need to look for someone, I have a ready-made one in my room, just Nanny Sun." The old lady said lightly.

The old lady's family was the Qin family, which was well-known in the dynasty, and this Grandma Sun was naturally quite well-known. Such an arrangement cannot be refuted by Mrs. Gu.
