After giving way to my husband's sweetheart

In autumn, the weather is getting cooler day by day. After an autumn rain, the leaves on the trees have been knocked down. In front of the gate of Sima Mansion, on the bluestone floor soaked in rain, several servants are cleaning with brooms. Thick residual leaves.

Sima Chao led the horse back. The tall horse was covered in mud and water, so dirty that it could barely see its true color. The same embarrassment was on his face.

Love disappeared, so he went out of the city to look for it in desperation. He only brought Yingfeng alone. It was a long way to Fancheng. The two of them were single-handed. In the middle of the journey, they encountered several waves of bandits. Constantly harassing and exploiting, after a round, not only did not find a trace of Love, but all valuables on the two were robbed by the bandits, leaving only two people and two horses to return home in a state of embarrassment.

Sima Chaochang has never been so angry at his age.

He entered the gate of the mansion, threw the reins to the boy with a gloomy face, the boy froze on the spot, and when he caught the reins, he looked at Sima Chao in a daze, frowned and said in doubt: "Are you, Eldest son?"

Not only the servants waiting at the door were puzzled, even the servants sweeping in front of the door stopped what they were doing when they saw Sima Chao's appearance, and couldn't help looking at him quietly.

The eldest son of the Sima Mansion, who was always well-dressed and majestic, suddenly appeared in such a distressed appearance, let alone anyone, was curious.

Sima Chao was suffocating in his heart, but now seeing everyone's eyes on him, he sullenly shouted angrily: "What are you looking at! If you dare to look again, I will kill you with a sword."

Everyone hastily looked away, not daring to overstep.

Sima Chao lost his temper at the door, and angrily went to his Qingsong Garden.

After entering the yard, the servants and servants in the yard were also taken aback by his appearance, but before everyone recovered from their surprise, they were frightened back by Sima Chao's sharp eyes.

Finally, when Sima Chao came back, Nanny Qi hurriedly told about Sima Zhengde's urgent search for him.

Sima Chao thought his father was looking for him for political affairs, but when Nanny Qi said that he was going to choose a wife for him, his expression became gloomy again.

Sima Chao washed up, changed his clothes, and was about to see his father when a follower came in and told him that Sima Rui was in a hurry to see him.

Sima Rui is currently the deputy envoy of Habayashi Wei, who is directly under Sima Chao's command.

Sima went beyond the gate of the mansion, got on his horse, and went straight to the imperial city. When Sima Rui saw him, he first asked, "Where did cousin go all these days?"

Sima Chao didn't answer his question, but asked, "Is the palace still peaceful these few days?"

Sima Rui replied: "The Empress Dowager has just decreed that she will go to Jinshan Temple to offer incense at the beginning of next month."

"Assassins just appeared in the palace, and the queen mother wants to go out?" Sima Chao murmured, and then asked again: "Could it be that the queen mother wants to."

Before Sima Chao could finish speaking, Sima Rui understood, he nodded tacitly towards him, and said in a low voice, "That's exactly what the Empress Dowager wanted, that's why I was in a hurry to find my cousin to discuss."

Sima Chao smiled faintly: "Please enter the urn, I am the best at it."

Sima Rui glanced at his expression, couldn't help but asked again: "Where have you been these few days?"

The two cousins ​​are about the same age and grew up under Mrs. Tai's knees. They have deep feelings and a tacit understanding in doing things. Their feelings are not comparable to other brothers.

Sima Chao glanced at Sima Rui, and asked back, "Why do you care about this?" He joked, "Maybe it's because you're afraid that I'll lose it."

Sima Rui saw him gossip about him, and asked directly: "Are you having trouble with cousin Luo's family again?"

"No." Sima Chao's face was clear, pretending to be relaxed on purpose, and replied with a smile: "As the saying goes, misfortune is blessing, since Afu experienced the villain's assassination last time, the relationship between the two of us is unknown now. How much better than before, I have already decided that when I find a good time, I will marry her and officially become my wife."

Sima Rui twitched the corners of his mouth: "It would be great to congratulate my cousin if he can get what he wants." He paused, and then said: "I just heard from my grandmother that my uncle is planning a marriage for my cousin recently. She is a noble lady."

Sima Chao looked at Sima Rui, with bright displeasure in his eyes, and said with a cold snort, "What do you mean by that?"

Sima Rui knew that Love was missing again. Although he didn't know why she left again, Sima Rui guessed that it must be related to Sima Chao. Sima Rui couldn't see that Love was not good.

Therefore, Sima Rui, who had always been self-confident, was a little impatient today.

He met Sima Chao's gaze, and said word by word: "I just hope you can treat Afu kindly, if you really like her, you should protect her well, don't let her get hurt again and again .”

The two brothers looked at each other, and their eyes were flowing with raging anger.

Sima Chao said: "She is my woman, how I treat her has nothing to do with you?"

Sima Chao knew what Sima Rui was thinking. He twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a sneer: "Cousin, don't forget that Afu really loves me, and we will make trouble, she It's all mine in the end."

Sima Chao's hurtful words finally made Sima Rui shut up, his eyes dimmed, and he walked away lonely.

Although he defeated Sima Rui, Sima Chao's heart was not at ease. He stood at the window, looking at the dark sky, and all he could think of was Love's figure.

Had he not treated her well enough?

He obviously really loves her, but why is she always so ruthless to him.

Sima Chao's heart was empty, and a line of tears fell from the corner of his eyes. He stood alone for a long time, then sighed heavily, raised his hand to wipe his face, and called his subordinates.

After a while, all his deputy envoys were in place, except Sima Rui.

Sima Chao glanced at the vacant seat, his heart was filled with desolation, but he has always been a person with a deep understanding of the city, even if he has something on his mind, he can control himself very well.

It is a big event for the empress dowager to go out of the palace, not to mention the matter of asking the king to enter the urn to secretly arrest the assassin. Sima Chao carefully arranged and discussed with several subordinates until midnight before leaving.

After going out for a few days, Sima Chao's desk was piled up with a lot of government affairs that needed to be dealt with urgently. After everyone dispersed, he didn't go back to the solution room to rest, but sat in front of the desk and got busy.

He flipped through a few reports, annotated them, and when he picked up another one, Love's voice came into his mind unconsciously. Sima Chao picked up the teacup on the desk, raised his head, He drank the cold tea in one gulp, he forced himself to calm down, and turned his attention to the political affairs he was busy with, but after a while, he uncontrollably missed Love again.
