Cheng Wenwen saw Qi Shuo outside the courtyard gate and was slightly startled. She asked, "General, why haven't you gone back yet?"

Qi Shuo said directly: "Wait for you!"

"What are you waiting for me to do?"

Qi Shuo didn't answer, and said calmly: "Let's go back."

"Oh!"

Cheng Wenwen didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them walked towards their own yard together.

Along the way, they met many people. Seeing the two people returning in such harmony, most of them were envious, and some people were whispering.

"The fourth young lady and the fourth uncle look so perfect together!"

"That's right, I thought Fourth Uncle-in-law..."

"Don't let my uncle hear it!"

"..."

The servant stopped talking abruptly. Qi Shuo heard it and felt a little curious.

He had heard this kind of abrupt ending several times today, so what did they think they were?

Qi Shuo glanced at Cheng Wenwen, wondering if she knew about these things in the Cheng family, but after thinking about it, he decided not to ask any more questions.

……

When the old lady learned that Qi Shuo was still waiting for Cheng Wenwen to return to the yard, she had a better impression of Qi Shuo.

"I thought the son-in-law was a rough and rude military commander, but he is actually a caring person."

Mother Ying nodded: "Yes, the fourth young lady has found a good home, and the old lady can rest assured."

The old lady was relieved about this son-in-law, but she suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "Tell everyone in the mansion to shut up and stop saying nonsense about the son-in-law being suspicious!"

"What does the old lady mean?"

"Don't let the relatives from the first house come to our house these days!"

"The old lady is referring to... the eldest lady's nephew, Prince Wang?"

Mother Ying remembered that the Fourth Miss had some private dealings with Young Master Wang. If it weren't for the trouble caused by the Second Master, the Fourth Miss would have married Young Master Wang.

Originally, Young Master Wang was both talented and handsome, and he was also interested in the Fourth Miss. He had also informed the Old Lady about this marriage. Unfortunately, Young Master Wang's grandfather passed away and he had to observe mourning, so the marriage was delayed. This delay meant that the two of them were not destined to be together.

The old lady also sighed and said, "Not long ago, the eldest wife came to me to ask about Wenwen. She felt sorry for her nephew. From what she said, I think the Wang family kid is still thinking about Wenwen!"

Ying's mother nodded and said, "It is indeed not appropriate to let the son-in-law know about this matter, so as to avoid causing him too much worry!"

The master and servant discussed it and handled the matter, but they could not avoid the plots of some people.

……

Cheng Wenwen was actually quite relieved when she returned home, but Qi Shuo was not familiar with the place, so Cheng Wenwen acted as the host and asked him, "General, now that you are in the capital, do you want to go out and play? I can accompany you!"

Qi Shuo nodded and agreed: "Okay! Let's go!"

The two of them went out together.

Cheng Wenwen’s favorite thing is to visit restaurants in the capital. She knows where the delicious food is.

I haven’t figured out if there are any new popular dishes in Beijing in the past few months since I left.

Cheng Wenwen took Qi Shuo to the most famous Zuixiaolou.

Cheng Wenwen introduced Qi Shuo: "The wine in Zuixiaolou has the most varieties. General, you can try it, but don't get too drunk!"

Qi Shuo was still angry with Cheng Wenwen, but every time he saw her excitedly introducing food to him with her eyes shining, his anger would temporarily dissipate and it would be difficult for him to hold it against her anymore.

Qi Shuo looked at her and asked, "What kind of wine do you like best?"

"I like fruit wine and flower wine the most. They are sweet, not spicy or intoxicating! Here is a wine that is delicious!"

"Ordinary? Isn't it a fruit from the Western Regions? The capital city also uses it to make wine?"

Cheng Wenwen smiled and nodded.

The waiter quickly brought their dishes and arranged them one by one. Before leaving, he said, "Miss Cheng, it's been a long time since I last saw you! My boss is still missing you!"
