Xiao Dizi pretended to be innocent and said, "I don't understand."

Long Bo passed by him and said, "It doesn't matter, I will tell you sooner or later."

……

Xie Chaochao returned to the general's mansion and saw Chu Heng sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and thinking.

She walked over slowly and listened to him speak, "Have you sent the person over?"

"Yeah." Xie Chaochao poured himself a cup of tea, "What happened? You seem very unhappy."

Chu Heng said: "The spies in the prison still refused to speak. Liu Fengling's method has been tried. They said that they would die for the sake of the country and have no regrets."

Xie Chaochao drank tea, she had long felt that this method was not working.

But I don’t have a good solution.

She didn't seem strange at all. Chu Heng put one hand on the table and looked at her. From her eyebrows to her chin, and then to the hairpins and jewelry on her head, she was not like Liu Fengling and Xie Yue'er. She was ordinary and simple, but with an intellectual beauty.

"I heard from my mother that you returned the silver to them without buying them any clothes or jewelry."

"I don't like dressing up." Xie Chaochao explained.

"You are the general's wife. You have nothing. People will think that the general's mansion mistreats you. The emperor will hold a banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow. How about I take you to buy new accessories tomorrow?"

Xie Chaochao thought about it. She only had two sets of clothes now, one was bought by Mrs. Chu, and the other was from the Xie Mansion, plus her wedding dress.

It is natural to be more decent when going to the palace.

But she didn't want to spend the Chu family's money, so she hadn't thought about it for a long time.

Seeing her hesitation, Chu Heng decided to go all out and said forcefully, "Listen to me, okay?"

Xie Chaochao could only nod silently. Without money, she would be restricted in everything. It seemed that she had to find a way to make money.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

There was a sound of dog barking outside, Chu Heng called out softly, and a large white dog ran in from outside, wagging its tongue and running into his arms.

Chu Heng rubbed the dog's head and chuckled, "Yun Duo, sit down!"

The big dog put down what was in his mouth, sat up straight, and panted heavily.

Chu Heng picked up the green beetle from the ground, looked at it repeatedly for a moment, and then crushed it to death with a serious face. After throwing it away casually, he hugged Yun Duo and said to Xie Chaochao, "It's getting late, Madam, go to bed early. I'm going to go out for a while."

Xie Chaozhao nodded and watched him leave.

His eyes fell on the crushed insect, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Just as I was about to enter the house, I heard a soft call from behind.

"Chao Chao, wait."

Xie Chaochao turned around and saw the slim and charming Mrs. Chu walking slowly towards her, shaking the golden fan in her hand, complaining about the horrible weather, and getting to the point.

"The emperor will hold a banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow. After the banquet, Heng'er will go to the northern border to fight drought, and your father-in-law will also go to the border to guard it. So I want to take this opportunity to go to the temple tomorrow to pray for the two of them. Chaochao, do you have time?"

This sentence reminded Xie Chaochao of the winter in his previous life when he was nearly raped by Su Moqing's brother. He didn't know if the plot was advanced or if it was just another incident. In any case, it was better to be careful.

"I didn't make any arrangements. Everything was up to my mother."

Madam Chu liked Xie Chaochao so much that she stretched out her hand and pinched her chubby little face, saying with heartache, "Good girl, I'll call you tomorrow. By the way, have you seen Ling'er's cloud? I saw it running this way just now."

Ling'er?

Xie Chaochao pointed outside and said, "Mr. Chu took Yun Duo out just now."

"Never mind, I'll go back and prepare first."

Xie Yue'er bid farewell to Madam Chu and sat on the stone bench.

Ling'er? Who is it?

In her previous life, she didn’t know much about the Chu family. The only thing she knew was a few important people, and she hadn’t made any specific comparisons with the rest of the people.

He looked back at Pearl and asked.

Pei'er smiled and explained, Ling'er, it's Chu Ling.

Chu Heng's younger brother was an orphan on the battlefield. He was brought back by General Chu and taken care of carefully. However, because he was frightened since childhood, he suffers from severe autism. He locks himself in the room all year round and dares not talk to anyone except close people and animals.

Speaking of children, Xie Chaochao remembered something.

In the previous life, Mrs. Chu and General Chu were imprisoned in the general's mansion for the crime of treason and were isolated and helpless. Xie Yue'er was the only person who could enter and leave the mansion. She saw that the Chu family was useless, so she had an affair with someone, which led to the child starving to death.

This child is most likely Chu Ling.

Xie Chaochao didn't know much about this child, but since she had a second life, she naturally had to take good care of him. She decided to visit him when she had the chance.

……

Mrs. Chu is familiar with all the shops in the capital, big and small.

Before going to the temple, I took her to buy some clothes and jewelry.

The boss rubbed his hands and sighed, "Girl, you are so lucky. A few days ago, my wife personally brought people to knock on my door in the middle of the night and bought this set of purple clothes for you."

Xie Chaochao was shocked.

Looking back at Mrs. Chu, she didn't care at all. "For my daughter-in-law, I am not afraid of hard work. That set of clothes is just right for morning wear."

Since my mother died, no one has taken such good care of me.

Xie Chaochao was indescribably moved, her eyes sparkling, and Mrs. Chu held her in her arms and comforted her, "Don't be moved. If you really want to repay me, give me a big fat boy. I also want a big fat girl. I'm not picky."

The overflowing emotion quickly bottomed out.

Children...I guess I won't have them in my lifetime.

……

After bidding farewell to the shop owner, Xie Chaochao and Mrs. Chu got on a carriage and headed to the temple to burn incense.

Bowing and praying in front of the temple.

Xie Chaochao picked up three incense sticks and knelt on the cushion, listening to Mrs. Chu beside him chanting for peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and for the safety of his family. Chaochao felt at ease and held his child in his arms in the morning.

She said silently, "I hope Madam Chu's last wish will not come true."

The two of them stood up, and the abbot came over to talk to Madam Chu for a few words. Then the latter smiled and said to Xie Chaochao, "Wait here, I'll be back soon."

Mrs. Chu accompanied the abbot away, and Xie Chaochao waited outside the temple gate alone with many servants.

But what you fear will come true.

At the bottom of the stairs, several figures were half-stopping and half-climbing in a panic. Su Qingyi's fan was broken by the shaking, and he cursed the people around him, "Why did you take me to climb a mountain for no reason? I'm so tired! When I get back, I'll punish you all with a few slaps!"

The people around him panicked and tried hard to please him.

When reaching the top, Su Qingyi passed by a sedan chair nearby and looked at it with frowned brows. He felt that the pattern was novel and somewhat familiar.

The person beside him said, "It's the sedan chair from the general's mansion. The wedding sign hasn't been put on it yet. I'd venture to guess that the person sitting inside should be General Xiaochu's newlywed wife, Xie Chaochao."

Su Qingyi's eyes lit up.

"Xie Chaochao?"

He blew his bangs aside and walked over with a swagger, "Who's sitting inside? Why don't you come out and kneel before this prince?"

The coachman and Pearl knelt on the ground and saluted.

The sedan slowly lifted a corner, and a cold voice came, "Good luck to the Sixth Prince. I wanted to kneel down and pay my respects, but I was stung by a bee the other day. I am afraid that this may have insulted the Sixth Prince's eyes. Please forgive me."

Su Qingyi laughed. He had been missing Xie Chaochao for who knows how long.

Xie Yue'er was pretty enough when she married my brother, but she was still inferior to Xie Chaochao. No matter in appearance or temperament, she could not compare to him.

Now, the person he has been thinking about is right in front of him.

He won't stop until he sees her!
