The mother of the Hou family eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and went crazy, I won by sucking milk

"Why? Why did you lock my door?"

"open!"

Chen Zhiru knocked on the door, but no one answered, and she couldn't help feeling annoyed.

Today, she has an appointment with Jiang Wushang.

We clearly agreed that I would teach her how to play chess today.

But now, when she woke up early this morning, she found that her door was locked.

Chen Zhiru shouted for a long time, but no one answered.

She sat down on the ground somewhat dejectedly, looking at the door with a look of despair.

Just then, a voice came from the door.

Chen Zhiru's eyes lit up.

She said that it must be the blind servant who locked her door.

Then he stood up.

With a hint of coldness in his voice, he said: "How do you all do things? I will definitely sell you out! Do you know that today..."

Before she could finish her words, Chen Zhiru showed a look of surprise when she saw the person at the door.

"Father...Father?"

The prime minister stood at the door of the room with a serious expression, looking at Chen Zhiru without saying a word.

He was still wearing court robes, and it was obvious that he had just finished court and came here.

The other servants followed the prime minister and lowered their heads in silence.

Chen Zhiru noticed that the atmosphere was a little off.

He forced himself to smile and took a few steps forward.

He said, "Father? Why are you here?"

On weekdays, her father seldom set foot in her yard, after all, it was a girl's boudoir.

The Prime Minister raised his eyes and spoke slowly: "I asked them to lock the door."

Chen Zhiru showed a puzzled expression: "Why, father?"

The prime minister pursed his lips and looked at Chen Zhiru with his sharp eyes.

Sighing, "You have finally grown up. I heard that you are very close to Jiang San from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

When Chen Zhiru heard her father mention Jiang Wushang, a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

He lowered his head and whispered back, "I don't know where father heard this from. It's not true."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister sneered and said, "No, that's good! During this time, you should just stay in your room and wait for your marriage."

Chen Zhiru frowned, sensing something wrong in the prime minister's words.

He asked quickly, "Marry? What do you mean by marry? Why don't I know about this? Who does my father want to marry me to?"

The prime minister said calmly: "Of course, one of the princes. You are my daughter. I am now second only to the emperor and above all others. The person you will marry in the future will surely be the most noble person in the world."

Chen Zhiru opened her eyes wide.

shook his head.

He sneered, "I won't marry!"

The prime minister heard this but didn't care.

He just said, "You just need to stay in your room. I will let you know on the day of your wedding."

Chen Zhiru was a little uneasy.

She knew that her marriage was a done deal.

She took a step forward and said excitedly: "No matter which prince my father wants me to marry, I will not agree! I won't marry! I..."

There was a ‘pop’ sound.

The prime minister slapped Chen Zhiru in the face, causing her to shut her mouth completely.

She covered her injured cheek with disbelief in her eyes.

The Prime Minister said disdainfully: "You don't want to marry the prince, do you want to marry Jiang Wushang? I tell you! In this life, don't even think about marrying Jiang Wushang, a man who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun!"

Chen Zhiru couldn't help but retort: ​​"How could the Third Young Master Jiang be a person who only cares about eating, drinking and having fun! Father is too decisive! Wait... Father, how do you know..."

At the end of her speech, a hint of panic appeared in Chen Zhiru's eyes.

The Prime Minister shook his sleeves, his eyes filled with anger: "How dare you ask me why I know? What did you do with Jiang Wushang? What happened between you two has been passed to my ears by others! Chen Zhiru! You have no shame! Our Prime Minister's Mansion still has dignity!"

After saying this, the Prime Minister looked at the guards behind him.

He ordered coldly: "Keep an eye on the young lady! Don't let her leave the house!"

The prime minister looked at Chen Zhiru coldly again, then turned and left.

Chen Zhiru looked at her father's back as he left.

I realized it belatedly and then reacted.

He wanted to chase after him and say something, but was forcefully pushed back into the room by the servants.

Chen Zhiru couldn't help but yell, "Father! You can't lock me up like this! You can't!"

What finally greeted Chen Zhiru was a closed door.

The maid outside the room said cautiously, "Miss, the master said that you should stay in your room during this period of time. I will bring you food and drink."

Chen Zhiru knelt weakly on the ground, with a hint of despair in her eyes.

Only then did she realize what was happening.

Why did her father ask her to spend more time with Her Royal Highness the Princess when she had nothing to do?

Now that I think about it carefully, I'm afraid that my father had already chosen His Royal Highness Prince Cheng'an.

No wonder... No wonder Her Royal Highness the Princess said that there would be plenty of time for them to spend time together in the future.

Ah…

It turned out that she was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Chen Zhiru turned her head and looked at the closed window, with a hint of sadness and hatred in her eyes.

What should she do about the agreement she made with Mr. Jiang San?

Jiang Wanqing had a hard time helping her convince the Third Master Jiang.

Jiang Wanqing, who had just returned to the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion, couldn't help but sneeze.

Shuiyun helped Jiang Wanqing get off the carriage.

With a trace of worry in his eyes, he said, "Could it be that the master fell into the pond and caught a cold? I'll have someone make some ginger tea for the master later."

Jiang Wanqing rubbed his nose.

Then he asked, "By the way, have those medicines been sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

Shui Yun nodded: "I have already told the eldest master. He has already ordered everyone in the mansion not to go out unless necessary. He only told the public that it is hot in the middle of summer, so be careful of heatstroke."

Jiang Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Then he asked, "What about Wuyou Pavilion?"

Shui Yun lowered her voice and whispered in Jiang Wanqing's ear: "The medicine has been given to Master Mu Sheng. I think Song Nansheng has used it now."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanqing's eyes flickered and he walked towards the Marquis of Xingchang's Mansion.

However, he had only walked a few steps to the door when he was stopped by someone.

There was confusion in Jiang Wanqing's eyes.

Shui Yun at the side scolded, "How dare you! Madam stop you?"

The servant bowed to Jiang Wanqing and said respectfully, "Madam, please go over to the old lady's place."

Jiang Wanqing frowned and thought that he might be here to find him and call him to account.

Then he replied calmly: "I know."

Shui Yun glanced at Jiang Wanqing and saw Jiang Wanqing walking towards the front hall, so she followed Jiang Wanqing on her own.

When we arrived at the front hall.

Jiang Wanqing took a quick look and realized that Old Madam Zhou was sitting at the top seat in the hall.

Zhou Musheng was also standing aside.

Song Nansheng, on the other hand, sat at the lower seat.

Looking at this scene, I'm afraid they're going to send an army to hold someone accountable.
