It's raining.

Cen Yuan swiftly jumped off the horse holding Shi Anxia in his arms and threw the reins to the groom.

Bei Hui and others came over with umbrellas, "Miss, are you okay? The sky is getting dark, and I think it's going to rain."

In fact, there is no need to ask, the girls' eyes are sparkling, and they are obviously fine. It's just that their hair is scattered, this, this, this...what's going on?

Shi Anxia pursed her lips and said, "I'm fine."

"Cousin, cousin-in-law, how are you? Where have you been?" Tang Xinghe asked with a smile.

Cen Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to Tang Xinghe and ordered, "Hurry up and take your girls back to the courtyard to change clothes. Be careful of catching a cold if you get caught in the rain."

Bei Hui and others responded.

When Shi Anxia was being escorted away by others, she reached out and pulled Cen Yuan over, "You should also go back and change your clothes. Your wound has split. Change the medicine quickly."

Cen Yuan had no choice but to take the umbrella from Bei Hui and protect Shi Anxia back.

Bei Hui and others followed behind with umbrellas.

Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang also chirped along, asking persistently, "Cousin, where did you go to play?"

Shi Anxia smiled and turned around to reply, "There is a good place over there in the back hills, with mountains and water, and beautiful scenery."

Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang exchanged a glance, "She's not talking about the Tiannu Pool, is she?"

There was unspeakable disappointment in his eyes: my cousin is really unworldly.

"You've been there?" Shi Anxia looked at him and said, "Isn't it great there?"

Tang Xinghe patted Cen Yuan's shoulder with infinite sympathy, "Brother-in-law, you have to help my cousin open her eyes. Otherwise, she will think that Tiannv Pond is the whole world."

Cen Yuan lowered her eyebrows and said, "I also think Tiannv Pool is very good."

Tang Xinghe: “…”

It turns out that both of them have never seen the world!

Hong Que often helped out at Yunqi Academy, so she was already very familiar with Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang. She quickly handed over her umbrella and said, "Young Master Cousin, Young Master Ma, you two should get out of the rain."

Tang Xinghe pushed the umbrella back and said, "Little Red Magpie, you should not get wet in the rain! We two grown men are not afraid of the rain!"

Cen Yuan sneered at him, "What a grown man!"

"No matter how old he is, he is still a man, hahaha!" the two troublemakers said in unison.

A few of them returned to the yard in the rain, chatting and laughing.

The umbrella held by Cen Yuan almost completely covered Shi Anxia, ​​and most of her body was soaked.

The maids were busy boiling water, preparing clothes for their masters to bathe and change, and making tea to ward off the cold for their masters.

Tang Xinghe and Ma Chuyang followed into the yard, but felt bored. When they went out again, they saw a sneaky figure from behind.

Ma Chuyang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is that person your aunt?"

Tang Xinghe nodded, "What was she doing hiding outside her cousin's yard just now?"

Ma Chuyang looked very confident, "What else can I do? She must have taken a fancy to me and wants me to be your uncle."

Tang Xinghe looked Ma Chuyang up and down and sneered twice, "How long have you been staying in our house? Don't you know what's going on? If she wanted to attack you, she would have done it a long time ago."

He looked at the courtyard where Shi Anxia lived, and then looked at the direction where Tang Chuyue disappeared. Based on his experience of destroying ten temples and ten relatives over the years, he thought, "I'm afraid he has some ideas about Cen Yuan?"

Ma Chuyang nodded immediately after hearing this, "Of course! If I were a girl, I would also have feelings for Master Cen."

Tang Xinghe patted Ma Chuyang on the head and said, "Think of it! So, you make a sacrifice to attract Tang Chuyue's attention and don't let her cause trouble for my cousin."

Ma Chuyang immediately jumped up and down, "I am also a good boy with a clean record! How can I attract Tang Chuyue's attention?"

Tang Xinghe agreed, "You really don't have anything special that can attract Tang Chuyue's attention. What's your use?"

As he spoke, he ran towards the main courtyard.

Ma Chuyang chased after him, "Hey, hey, hey, where are you going?"

"I'll go and file a complaint." Tang Xinghe thought that it would be best for his mother to know about this kind of backyard affairs. It would be better for them, innocent men, not to get involved, after all, he had to save face.

Shameless Zheng Qiaoer heard Tang Xinghe complain that Tang Chuyue was hiding outside her cousin's yard and ran away as soon as she saw them come out. She must have some plans for her cousin's husband.

Zheng Qiaoer's face suddenly darkened.

These days she is waiting for Tang Chuyue to discuss marriage.

Before the old Duke Tang Songlin passed away, he had already divided the families into different households and mansions.

Only Tang Chuyue has reached the age for marriage, and her status can only be higher if she leaves the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

At that time, Tang Songlin said that since the Duke of Huguo's Mansion was handed over to them, they had the responsibility to marry their sister off properly.

As for the dowry, it was very meagre.

The Duke of Huguo's mansion was empty, so how could there be extra money to prepare a decent dowry? Zhu's own dowry had long been divided up by her two sons, and there was not much left for Tang Chuyue.

Now Zhu's mind is sometimes clear and sometimes confused, and she can't take care of her daughter's marriage at all.

If you expect Zheng Qiaoer to use her own dowry to add to Zhu's daughter's dowry, then you are definitely thinking too much.

Zheng Qiaoer would rather throw it away and feed it to the dog than do such a stupid thing.

But she finally agreed. After all, Tang Chuyue was indeed the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Huguo's mansion, and the grudges of the previous generation should not fall on the next generation.

It is only natural for Tang Chuyue to marry out of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

She made it clear to her father-in-law at the time that she would not participate in the marriage negotiation process and let her two sisters-in-law Tang Chuyue make the decision.

Recently, Zheng Qiaoer has been keeping a particularly close eye on Ma Chuyang, fearing that this foolish son from another family would be tricked by Tang Chuyue.

If Ma Chuyang is forced to marry Tang Chuyue, that would be terrible.

She completely forgot about Cen Yuan.

It was because Cen Yuan was already married that she didn't think about it. What if Cen Yuan was entangled in the Duke of Huguo's mansion and a scandal broke out? How could she face her sister-in-law's family?

Zheng Qiaoer called Aunt Yu over, "Keep an eye on Tang Chuyue, don't let her get close to my cousin's yard, and don't let her get close to my cousin's husband."

Nanny Yu received the order and left.

But guarding against thieves for a thousand days is not a solution. After Tang Chujun proposed to go back, Zheng Qiaoer did not try to persuade him to stay.

She was afraid that if she tried to keep him, it would cause trouble. What should she do?

The next day, after Tang Chujun and the others had left in a grand procession, Zheng Qiaoer called Tang Chuyue over and asked, "Which family did your two sisters-in-law find for you?"

Tang Chuyue was filled with anger and asked sarcastically, "Sister-in-law, can't you tolerate me?"

Zheng Qiaoer laughed in anger, but she didn't indulge her. "Yes, there is no room for you. You eat at my Huguogong Mansion, live at my Huguogong Mansion, and buy this and that without money?"

Tang Chuyue's eyes were filled with tears, "The Duke of Huguo's Mansion is also my home!"

Zheng Qiaoer looked up at her with a sneer, "Your home? Then just shout it out and see if it agrees. If you behave yourself, I don't mind having an extra mouth to feed. I'll marry you off from my Duke of the Guardian's Mansion as a good deed to raise your status. If you're so dishonest, get out of here and go find your father, mother, brother and sister-in-law! You're standing on my turf and questioning whether I can tolerate you. How dare you!"

Tang Chuyue has always been a sharp-tongued person, and has been arrogant and domineering since childhood.

After her parents left Beijing to live in the manor, she had been patient for a long time. Now she couldn't hold back any longer. "Aren't you afraid that your reputation will affect your eldest brother's career? You are the mistress of the house, and you can't tolerate your sister-in-law. If it gets out, it will be considered as a violation of your moral character!"
