After Giving Way To My Husband’s Sweetheart

Luo Shi had packed up and was busy looking at the account books in the room when a servant girl came in to report that the eldest lady had returned and asked Luo Shi to come over to discuss the marriage between Sima Chao and Luo Fu.

Sima Chuyu lost his mother when he was young. Before he left the court, he liked to be close to Luo Shi, a knowledgeable aunt. When Luo Shi heard that Sima Chuyu had invited him, he immediately put down what he was busy with and went there with his two personal maids. Xiyuan.

Sima Zhengde specially built a new courtyard garden for his daughter. I had long heard that it was very luxurious and exquisite. However, because Sima Chuyu has refused to return home, no one has been allowed to enter the garden. Now that Sima Chuyu has finally returned, this garden The courtyard terrace is finally revealed to the public.

This courtyard is simply more beautiful than what was rumored. Even Luo, who came from a distinguished family and was used to seeing wealth and luxury, couldn't help but secretly admire it as soon as he stepped into the garden.

This garden occupies a vast area, and the pavilions and pavilions are all exquisitely built. The garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, and there are many rare trees and flowers that Luo has only seen in books.

This courtyard is really eye-opening and breathtaking.

Luo sighed at Sima Zhengde's great care for his daughter, but he couldn't help but recall the scene when he cruelly sent Sima Chuyu into the palace many years ago.

At this time, Sima Zhengren had returned from duty. He was sitting in the main room waiting for his wife. Finally, he was looking forward to his wife's return. Sima Zhengren couldn't help complaining: "You are finally back. I am so hungry from waiting." .”

Sima Chuyu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Chao'er has always been in love with Ah Fu. Now he is getting married. He comes to see me several times a day for fear of wronging Ah Fu. Although the betrothal gift is decent, the time is short. , I am afraid that there will be something inappropriate in the process."

How could Luo Shi not understand this? She patted Chu Yu's hand and said with a smile: "You are a thoughtful child. How can my aunt not understand your heart?"

Luo Shi said: "Then why don't you let them eat? Since they are already hungry, what are you waiting for me to do?"

Chu Yu smiled, ordered someone to bring the betrothal gift list to Luo, and said, "I'm a little anxious about the wedding. Fortunately, Chao'er's betrothal gift has been prepared a long time ago. I added it yesterday as appropriate. It's better. Let's take a look. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Sima Chuyu smiled bitterly and said: "My life is over, so I hope that both my brothers can have a happy marriage. That's why my father prevented Chao'er from marrying Afu, so I endured the awkwardness and was willing to come forward."

Luo Shi took the order, glanced at it briefly, and replied with a smile: "Miss, the preparations have been very thorough."

After hearing what Chu Yu said, Luo Shi smiled and replied: "Chaoer loves Afu, and Afu also has a deep love for Chaoer. She won't care about these false courtesy."

Chu Yu sighed and said, "Even if this is the case, how can I get back the happiness I lost?"

She smiled bitterly and explained to Luo Shi: "When my father sent me to the palace cruelly, except for my two young and ignorant brothers, everyone in the family, including my grandmother who loved me, actually agreed with my father's move. , Auntie, you are the only one who considers my future, is willing to stand on my side, and can still speak for me."

As soon as Luo Shi finished speaking, he muttered awkwardly: "I said this as if I was hoping something bad would happen to Mrs. Zhou, but alas, sometimes this matter of life and death is really not up to anyone." Sima Chuyu replied He said: "I understand what my aunt is thinking, but Zhou Lang and I have already changed. Even if someone really loses his wife, it is impossible for us."

Chu Yu sighed: "My aunt is right, those etiquettes are just for outsiders to see. In comparison, marrying a good husband is more important."

It seems impossible to judge the right and wrong of this, but one thing is obvious to all, that is, Sima Zhengde loves his daughter in his heart, but he doesn't know that now he has finally reached the pinnacle of power as he wished, and he cruelly sacrificed his life for ignoring his daughter's pleas. Did he ever regret his actions that made her happy?

Hearing this, Sima Chuyu had tears in her eyes. She stepped forward to pay homage to Luo, but Luo held her in his arms and said, "Get up quickly. My aunt is not an outsider. Why should Yu'er be so polite?"

  Seventy-seven. Seventy-six. One hundred and seventy-nine. Two hundred and one

Mentioning what happened back then, Luo couldn't help but feel sad. She sighed, "It's a pity that my aunt is just a woman. She has more than enough ambition but not enough power. She can't stop you from entering the palace." As she said, Luo Shi then comforted Chu Yu and said, "It's better now. The late emperor has gone and the Guo family is gone too. You can finally come back."

Luo Shi was just leaving here to think about something. Sima Chuyu had already come out with her maid. Luo Shi quickly gathered her thoughts, raised her eyes to look at Chu Yu, and sighed: "Yu'er, Aunt, I really haven't seen you for many years. .”

Hearing this, Luo Shi suddenly said: "Let me tell you, why did the eldest brother suddenly change his mind and agree to Afu's entry? The relationship is because of you."

 “Aunt, you are here.”

There are many people in this mansion, and the relationships are complicated. In terms of closeness, Luo's aunt is naturally not at the top of the list. If Sima Chuyu comes back to visit Luo first, it will definitely cause unnecessary quarrels and lawsuits for Luo.

Just as the servants were about to go down to do their business, Luo Shi said to them: "Just take the general's bowls and chopsticks. I have already used them at the eldest lady's place."

The Zhou Jun Luo mentioned was the man Sima Chuyu had longed for at the beginning.

Sima Chuyu took Luo's hand and said warmly: "When I came back, I should have gone to see my aunt, but there were so many people in the house."

Hearing this, Mr. Luo replied: "The old lady of the Duke of Jin held a birthday banquet the day before yesterday. I went over to congratulate her on her birthday. While eating the banquet, I heard the female relatives talking, saying that Zhou Jun's wife was seriously ill, and now she is terminally ill."

When the Sima family marries their eldest daughter-in-law, the betrothal gift will naturally be extremely generous.

"Hurry up and set the food." Before Luo Shi could say anything, Sima Zhengren ordered the servants.

Chu Yu and Luo Shi got on well with each other, and the two discussed the marriage between Sima Chao and Luo Fu. It was not until it was getting dark that Luo Shi returned from Sima Chu Yu's place.

 In these troubled times, even the wealthy and powerful families are no longer as particular about marriage as they were in the heyday.

Sima Zhengren glanced at Luo Shi and said with an unhappy expression: "What's the matter? Have you already eaten?"

Luo Shi said to her husband apologetically: "I'm so sorry. If I had known you were waiting for me, I should have asked the girls to come back and say something."

Sima Zhengren looked deeply at his wife. Although he felt unhappy, he was not willing to blame her.
