Yunchu sat in the side hall for a little while.
When she saw a figure slowly walk over, she stood up and saluted, "Marquis."
She glanced back with her remaining light and didn't see Xie Jingyu.
"Is Lady Xie waiting for Lord Xie?" Qin Mingheng sat down in his chair, "Then I have to say sorry, in fact, Lord Xie left a long time ago."
Yun Chou frowned.
Since Xie Jingyu had left a long time ago, why did the Marquis' boy still bring her here?
She turned her head and realized that the maids waiting at the entrance of the side hall just now had all retreated at this moment.
Qin Mingheng looked toward Listening Frost who was standing behind her, "You go down first."
Hearing Frost stood still.
Yunchu spoke in a faint voice: "It is against etiquette for a lone man and a widow to share a room, this is my wife's beloved maiden, what does the marquis have to say just say it."
Qin Mingheng raised his eyes to look at her, "Xie Jingyu threw Lady Xie alone in the Marquis' residence, and Lady Xie still guards her body for her husband, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Marquis meeting alone with a married woman also makes my wife feel funny." Yun Chu raises her eyes, "The outside world says that Marquis Xuanwu is deeply in love with Mrs. Marquis, is that really the case?"
A man who loved his wife deeply would never have tricked her, a married woman, into coming here.
Even if there is something of great importance, one should let a maid or a mother-in-law pass on the message, or find a suitable opportunity to talk in public.
If Luo saw the two of them here, Marquis Xuanwu might be able to retreat in one piece, while her Yunchu's reputation would be all but ruined.
Thinking of this, Yun Chou turned around and left.
She treated Marquis Xuanwu with respect because she was only the family member of a fifth rank official.
She had the courage to turn her head and leave because she was the first daughter of the Yun family.
Once upon a time, she was always reluctant to borrow the Yun family's power, but now she thinks about it, she was originally a member of the Yun family, and she put her backing on the mountain, so why should she be subjected to wrongful anger.
She had just taken a step when Qin Mingheng's irritated voice came from behind her, "Stop."
Yun Chou's steps paused as she continued to walk out.
"Mrs. Xie, when you reburied your own prematurely deceased child some time ago, are you so sure that those two bones were your children?"
Yunchu pursed her lips.
This man behind her had pinched her soft underbelly with surprising precision.
She could be sure that Marquis Xuanwu should have been eyeing her for a long time, what exactly did he intend to do?
She sank a breath, turned around, raised her eyes and said coldly, "What exactly is the Marquis going to say, please speak clearly."
"Mrs. Xie in this capacity, really doesn't deserve you, you're so smart, why don't you think about why Xie Jingyu left alone?" Qin Mingheng moved closer to her, "He wasn't afraid to leave you alone in the marquis house to cuckold him, why are you afraid to share a room with me?"
Yunchu took a step back to avoid his approach.
She just felt like the man was rambling on and on, not a single word to the point, but it was every word that was hammering home.
She seemed to understand, but when she thought about it, she couldn't quite figure it out.
"Yun-chu."
Qin Mingheng called him by his first name.
Yun Chou's brows furrowed as she recoiled and stepped back again.
It was obvious that she should leave, but she couldn't take a step, she always felt that Marquis Xuanwu seemed to know something about her, something very important.
"Make peace, Xie Jingyu he's not worthy." Qin Mingheng propped one hand on the doorframe behind Yunchu and the other on the wall, encircling her in a small space.
Hearing Frost was so scared that she lost her words and rushed over to try to block behind Yun Chou.
Qin Mingheng reached out and pushed Listening Frost straight out.
He leaned down, close to Yun Chu's ear, "If you make peace, I will also make peace immediately, and I can marry you ...."
"Pop!"
A loud slap on Qin Mingheng's face.
This was the second time Yunchu had drawn someone.
She also didn't expect that she would hit Marquis Xuanwu in the face.
"Marquis Xuanwu, please respect yourself!" Yun Chu splits his hand propped against the door frame and steps out of the threshold, she sidesteps, her eyes flashing out an icy light, "You should indeed make peace, you are not worthy of your lady at all."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away, Listening Frost hastened to help her, the master and servant duo ignored the iron-faced Qin Mingheng, and walked directly to the outside of the marquis' residence.
The carriage that he had come in was surprisingly absent.
Yun Chou's one face was cold to the core.
Instead of returning to the Xie Mansion, she went to the ice store that was about to open.
Chen Defu bought a large yard, the front as a store, the back as a warehouse, by Chen Defu distant nephew as a shopkeeper, it is called Chen's ice store.
Selected in mid-May to open, because the people who can afford to buy ice are rich and wealthy, the ice price is set relatively high, two taels of silver a catty, to be entered into the July summer, the price will continue to rise.
She gave Chen Defu some suggestions of her own and adjusted the price increase before leaving the ice store.
At this time, the time was still early, and Yun Chou barely dined at noon, she found a restaurant and ate with Listening Frost's master and servant.
After the meal and a slow cup of tea, twilight was settling in.
Yunchu wasn't in a hurry to go back, she took Listening Frost to stroll around the night market in the capital.
When the lights go on, there will be many vendors pushing their carts to sell some knick-knacks on the street, and since she married, Yun Chu has never come back to stroll around.
She saw the kite seller and thought to herself that Yu must like flying kites, and that it would be nice if they had the chance to fly kites together in the future.
She saw the candy man seller and thought to herself that Changsheng must like candy, and she enjoyed seeing Changsheng smile sweetly.
She saw the potter's man for sale and thought to herself that if her two children were there, she would make three potter's men exactly like them ...
Without being careful, Yunchu bought a whole bunch of things.
When it was dark, Yun Chu and Listening Frost rode on the carriage arranged by Chen Defu and returned to the Xie family.
She had just entered the door of the Sheng Residence on the front foot, and Xie Jingyu came on the back foot.
Yun Chu sat in her seat and looked at him coldly: "Why did husband leave together without waiting for me?"
Xie Jingyu surveyed her from the strands of her hair to the soles of her feet, she seemed to be exactly the same as when she left the house in the morning, yet she seemed to be different somewhere.
The look in his eyes made Yun Chou's heart cool a little.
It turned out that for the sake of the Xie family, he was able to give her, a big living person, to another man.
What would have happened if she hadn't sensed something was wrong and taken that sip of tea, she couldn't even begin to imagine.
It turned out that Xie Jingyu had been counting on her from this point on.
When the Yun family was still strong, he dared to make such a crooked move against her, where did he get the guts.
"Why is the lady so late ..."
Xie Jingyu asked in a slow voice.
He wanted to know if that had happened or not.
More than anything, he wondered if she knew he had done such a thing.
"Why did I return so late, husband why don't you ask yourself?" Yun Chu stares at him, "The carriage sent you back to the mansion but didn't return to the marquis to pick me up, I walked back, of course it took some time."
Seeing that she was only slightly emotionally volatile, Xie Jingyu guessed that she should have been mesmerized like she was on the night of the caveman back then, and did not know what had happened.
So she was not aware of his vileness.
He breathed a sigh of relief, full of apologies, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have been too busy with my official duties to neglect madam."
"You and I, husband and wife, don't need to talk about this." Yun Chu looks like she doesn't care about this matter at all and worries, "Did Marquis Xuanwu accept the Xie family's reparation?"
Xie Jingyu nodded, "The Marquis said he would no longer pursue this matter."
He gave up his son and offered his wife. If Qin Mingheng still pursues the matter, he would be too deceitful.
Yunchu smiled.
Marquis Xuanwu received a slap from her, this matter will not be settled so easily.
