No, it's already noon, why is she still sleeping?

"Liu'er, little Liu'er."

Rong Xi was woken up. When he saw Chu Jinzhi suddenly appear in front of him, his eyes instantly filled with tears, like a kitten who was wronged but dared not speak. Then he turned around angrily and ignored him.

Chu Jinzhi knew that she was so angry because he left like that that day.

He should have come earlier, but every time he walked outside Jinyuan, he didn't know how to face her, so he left in shame.

"Liu'er, I was wrong about what happened that day. I apologize to you. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Rong Xi continued to cover his head with the quilt, looking like he was unable to communicate.

Chu Jinzhi was also panicked. It seemed that the little girl was really angry.

He pulled the quilt off several times but failed, so he took off his coat and prepared to lie down.

This action made Rong Xi, who was unable to communicate, turn around.

"what are you doing?"

"Liu'er, I want to sleep with you."

"No, you go."

The little girl's eyes were still red, and her voice was tearful.

"Liu'er, I was wrong. Please forgive me."

As he spoke, he pulled Rong Xi over and kissed her cheek. God knows how much he wanted to do this these days.

"Our little Liu'er is just so pretty and soft."

Rong Xi obviously hadn't forgiven him yet and didn't say anything, just letting him hold her in his arms.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she grabbed the quilt tightly and pushed Chu Jinzhi out.

Chu Jinzhi found this funny. It seemed like this girl had just discovered it.

"Why are you so shy, Xiao Liu'er? There is no part of your body that I haven't seen."

"You...you are a gangster."

"Xiao Liu'er doesn't like it? But I think Xiao Liu'er likes it very much. Do you want me to tell you how you begged me a few days ago?"

Rong Xi directly covered his mouth, not wanting him to continue speaking.

But this man was really shameless, he actually used his tongue on her hand...

"Okay, Xiao Liu'er, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me."

Rong Xi just nodded with a red face. She was still a little dazed from having just woken up, so when she got up, Chu Jinzhi helped her put on her clothes.

"Xiao Liu'er, I have never served anyone like this before. You are the first."

Rong Xi was still too sleepy to open her eyes, and she didn't hear clearly what he said, so she just nodded.

Chu Jinzhi found it funny. How come this girl gets sleepy so easily?

After taking her out to eat something, I prepared to take her out for a walk.

I just slept at home all day. It would be a waste if I don’t go out to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside.

Rong Xi really didn't want to go out, but he had no choice but to follow the other person.

The system's sudden voice almost scared Rong Xi.

System [Rong Xi, someone is following behind. ]

"Whose man is it?"

System [Chu Shizhang's.]

Rong Xi looked at Chu Jinzhi, not knowing whether he had noticed it or not. Should he remind him that it was not okay for him to flaunt his mistress in public before getting married?

Chu Jinzhi was originally arranging the hat that Rong Xi was going to wear when he went out, when he suddenly heard the sound of a gentle knock on the carriage.

It was a secret signal sent by Chi Xu.

"What's the matter?"

Chu Jinzhi lifted the curtain, lowered his head to listen to Chi Xu's voice, and then looked towards the back of the carriage.

The two people there immediately hid themselves, thinking they had not been discovered.

"It seems to be the master's man."

"Get rid of."

"Yes."

The people at the back were dealt with, but before they reached the recreational area, they were stopped by the steward of the Shangshu Mansion.

"Sir, the master invites you."

"not see."

"The master said that if you don't go, he will come down to invite you personally."

Chu Jinzhi looked at Rong Xi and comforted her, "Liu'er, just stay in the carriage. Chi Xu and Ling Zhou will protect you. You don't have to worry."

Rong Xi still pretended to be afraid and reluctant, making Chu Jinzhi reluctant to leave her here alone.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon."

After that, he said to the outside seriously, "Protect the girl."

"Yes!"

The carriage stopped at the side of an alley. After Chu Jin got off the carriage, he followed the old butler to the private room of the teahouse.

He was very annoyed that he had already made it so clear but he still had to mind his own business.

Chu Shizhang's face was full of anger from the moment he came in. No one knew why he would let himself fall and be with such an unpresentable foreign woman.

Chu Jinzhi also had a bad expression on his face. The two of them were silent for a long time, and finally Chu Shizhang spoke first.

"Jin'er, I heard that you have a mistress."

"Father, just tell me what you want to do."

"I don't care what I want to do. If I wasn't worried about your bad reputation, I wouldn't bother to care about you. You should break up with your mistress right now. The second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion is so beautiful and she is in love with you. What else do you want?"

"Take care of me, why would father take care of me? He didn't take care of me when he should have, but now he remembers to take care of me. As for how you knew about the prime minister's daughter, I have clearly refused, so don't even think about it."

"You... I didn't take care of you, so how did you grow up? You are my son, if I don't take care of you, who will? Your mother in Chanfeng Temple?"

"You don't deserve to mention her."

The two suddenly started arguing, and the butler next to them hurried over to try to reconcile.

"Sir, the master is worried about you too."

"Humph, worry? I don't need to. He should worry about the child he had with his concubine."

After saying this, he was about to leave, but before he could leave, Chu Shizhang called him.

"Jin'er, your father is doing this for your own good. After all, your relationship with that mistress is not a long-term plan. You need to marry a wife. If you really like that mistress, you should hide her for the time being. After you marry a wife, you can bring her in as a concubine or a sidekick."

Chu Jinzhi didn't say anything, just opened the door and walked out.

He knew that these were one of the few appropriate words the father had said.

He knew in his heart that being with Liu'er like this was not a long-term solution, but he felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about having contact with other women.

Besides, Liu'er probably doesn't have a place for herself in her heart yet. If I really marry someone else, she will probably separate from him just like in those storybooks.

Thinking of this, he felt as if his heart was being pricked by needles.

He also thought about marrying Liu'er as his principal wife, but Shengjing was dominated by aristocratic families, and the women of the major families were even more xenophobic. What the principal wife had to do was not only to manage the household, but also to be another form of officialdom.

He was afraid that Liu'er, with her weak personality, would not be able to cope with it and would be laughed at and bullied.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that his self-esteem was at work; marrying a country girl as his wife would surely be a laughing stock.

No matter whether she is a concubine or a concubine, as long as she is spoiled by herself, no one will hurt her and she can be more at ease.

Moreover, those so-called household affairs are far from being as simple and easy as imagined.

Not only does one need to manage the entire family's huge assets and vast land, as well as all kinds of people, big and small, in the mansion, but one also has to deal with and maintain all kinds of complex relationships and personal connections.

In addition, we must make detailed plans for every income and expenditure, and at the same time shoulder the responsibility of educating and training our children and future generations to become successful adults.

All kinds of skills and knowledge cannot be easily mastered overnight.

Even if many women start learning from a young age, they still make a mess of housework after they get married and take care of the household affairs.
