Sima Zhengren came to the study on his own, and dealt with some political affairs. When it was time for dinner, he saw that his wife hadn't been invited. He felt depressed, so he ate alone in the study.

Luo Shi is gentle and virtuous, and has always been considerate and obedient to him, why did he suddenly become like this now?
He has already straightened her up, the Sima family's wife, this is what so many women dream of, she should be happy, and even be grateful to herself.

Sima Zhengren couldn't understand his wife's neglect.

He is not a delicate husband, and he never cared about his wife's mood before, but Luo Shi's behavior now, for some reason, actually made him very irritated.

Because he was in a bad mood, Sima Zhengren didn't even have two mouthfuls for dinner, so he put down his jade chopsticks, got up and left the study, heading straight to the main courtyard of the Luo family.

He strolled to the main courtyard, and saw that the courtyard door was tightly closed. Sima Zhengren felt suspicious, raised his hand and pushed the courtyard door, only to find that the door was locked.

Sima Zhengren frowned, raised his hand and patted the door panel with a "bang bang bang". He asked in a low voice, "It was just getting dark, why did you lock the door so early?"

The maid hurriedly replied respectfully: "Reporting to the general, Ma'am, she was not feeling well, she went to bed early, and was worried that others would disturb Qingjing, so she locked the door."

When Sima Zhengren heard this, his expression immediately darkened.

He is not stupid, Luo Shi is like this, obviously avoiding him.

No one in this world has ever dared to treat him like this, especially a woman.

Sima Zhengren could only feel his anger rising up, he raised his foot, and was about to kick open the courtyard door, when his boot touched the door, his wife's slightly frowning brows and sullenness suddenly appeared in his mind In front of him, he unexpectedly resisted it all by accident.

Sima Zhengren stood outside the door, staring at the dark door panel. He calmed down, suppressed his anger, and said coldly to the maid inside the door: "Just tell Madam, I won't bother her again. She must not regret it."

After all, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

The maid inside the door was terrified when she heard this, and after she saw the person walking away through the crack of the door, she hurriedly entered the main house, and reported everything to Luo Shi in detail.

Although Luo Shi resented her husband in her heart, her awe of Sima Zhengren had been deeply rooted in her heart over the years. When she heard that her husband lost his temper outside the door, she also felt a little flustered, but it was only for a moment, and it passed away.

"If he doesn't come, it's just what I want." Luo stroked his chest lightly and said something from his heart.

Nurse Xu beside her sighed: "Since the general is willing to reunite with Madam, why does Madam reject people thousands of miles away?"

Luo snorted coldly, and replied: "It's better to restore the old one. In the past, I didn't have a good time with him. If it wasn't for the sacred order, how could my father and brother marry me to such a rough martial artist?"

Before the fall of the Luo family, it was one of the most prominent families in Beijing, and the Sima family was an upstart that the court relied heavily on, so the combination of the Luo family and Sima Zhengren was a marriage by order.

After hearing Luo's words, Mammy looked around subconsciously, then lowered her voice and said, "Madam, be careful with your words." Then she persuaded: "It's not that you don't know the general's temper, I'm just afraid that you will provoke me like this." If you lose him, it will be bad for you."

Luo Shi naturally understands what the nanny said, she sighed slightly, and replied: "In the past, although I didn't have any affection for him, we respected him as a guest, and it was fine. Now that I have experienced such a thing, I can clearly see his ruthlessness." Indifference, I really can't accept him anymore, and staying with him is like being sentenced to death for me."

Thinking of her husband's ruthlessness in demoting her to a concubine, Luo Shi couldn't help feeling sad again. She tested the corners of her eyes with a brocade handkerchief, and said sadly: "Forget it, don't mention these things, she will go to the Northern Expedition after a while." I'm gone, it will take at least a year or so, and once he leaves, I will be clean."

Sima Chao was determined to trap Zhao Yi'an, but he set traps several times, but was cunningly escaped by the other party. Sima Chao was extremely annoyed by this.

Sima Chao has a strong desire to control, he hates this kind of accident that is beyond his prediction.

On the willow tip of the moon, he came out of the imperial city on horseback, and came straight to Love's residence.

Seeing Sima Chao approaching, Lan Tian couldn't help showing panic, Love hinted with her eyes to calm down, and whispered, "Is the cellar tightly closed?"

Lan Tian nodded vigorously.

Love winked at her: "Don't panic, it's the same as before, don't let him see the flaws."

Sima Chao got off his horse and walked straight towards Love. When he saw his beloved, a smile finally appeared on his face that had been gloomy for several days.

He came over and held Love's hand, and asked ambiguously, "I haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss me?"

Love smiled lightly, and replied, "I know you're busy these days."

The two entered the room while talking. Sima Chao sat down on the chair, looked at Love, and asked, "Do you know who is behind the assassination of the Queen Mother?"

Love's eyes moved slightly, and then she smiled lightly, and replied: "I've been here all day long, so how can I know these secrets?"

Sima Chao glanced at Love's expression, saw her calm attitude, and guessed that she really didn't know.

He pulled her by his side and told her, "The person behind the scenes is actually Zhao Yi'an."

Love pretended to be surprised, looked at Sima Chao and asked, "How could it be him? He is just a businessman, why would he assassinate the Queen Mother?"

Sima Chao looked at Luo Fu, and said to her in the tone of an adult admonishing a child: "I told you earlier, don't trust others, you used to be disobedient, now you can see clearly, some people It’s just a disguise.”

Luo Fu smiled lightly, and replied: "Are you not mistaken? Is it really Mr. Zhao?"

"Silly girl!" Sima Chao scratched the tip of Love's nose with his doting fingers, and said, "I saw it with my own eyes, how can I be wrong? This Zhao Yi'an seems to have a lot of background. Unknowingly inserting people into the inner palace, it can be seen that he still has some skills."

Love seized her concern and asked, "I just want to know how Ning'er put the poison into the queen mother's tea bowl."

As the empress dowager, all food and beverages are strictly controlled. Ning'er is an actress in the palace, who can play the piano for the empress dowager, but she cannot have the opportunity to get close to the empress dowager's diet. It is unimaginable that she can poison her.

When Sima Chao saw Love asking this, he gave her an annoyed look and replied, "Why are you asking this?"

Love smiled: "I'm just curious."

Sima Chao laughed and said: "You have enough ghost ideas, it's better to know less about these heretics."
