After giving way to my husband's sweetheart

Luo Shi had packed up and was busy reading the account books in the room when a maid came in to report that the eldest lady had returned and asked Luo Shi to come over to discuss the marriage between Sima Chao and Luo Fu.

Sima Chuyu lost his mother when he was young. Before he left the court, he liked to be close to Luo Shi, a knowledgeable aunt. When Luo Shi heard that Sima Chuyu had invited him, he immediately put down what he was busy with and went there with his two personal maids. Xiyuan.

Sima Zhengde specially built a new courtyard garden for his daughter. I had long heard that it was very luxurious and exquisite. However, because Sima Chuyu has refused to return home, no one has been allowed to enter the garden. Now that Sima Chuyu has finally returned, this garden The courtyard terrace is finally revealed to the public.

This courtyard was simply more beautiful than the rumors said. Even Luo, who came from a distinguished family and was used to seeing wealth and luxury, couldn't help but secretly admire it as soon as he stepped into the garden.

The garden occupies a vast area, and the pavilions and pavilions are all exquisitely built. The garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, including many rare trees and flowers that Luo had only seen in books.

This courtyard is really eye-opening and breathtaking.

Luo sighed at Sima Zhengde's great care for his daughter, but couldn't help but recall the scene when he cruelly sent Sima Chuyu into the palace many years ago.

It seems impossible to judge the right and wrong of this, but one thing is obvious to all, that is, Sima Zhengde loves his daughter in his heart, but he doesn't know that now he has finally reached the pinnacle of power as he wished, and he cruelly sacrificed his life for ignoring his daughter's pleas. Did he ever regret his actions that made her happy?

"Aunt, you are here."

Luo Shi was just leaving here to think about something. Sima Chuyu had already come out with her maid. Luo Shi quickly gathered her thoughts, raised her eyes to look at Chu Yu, and sighed: "Yu'er, Aunt, I really haven't seen you for many years. .”

Sima Chuyu had tears in her eyes when she heard this. She stepped forward to pay homage to Luo, but Luo held her in her arms and said, "Get up quickly. Auntie is not an outsider. Why should Yu'er be so polite?"

Sima Chuyu took Luo's hand and said warmly: "When I came back, I should have gone to see my aunt, but there are so many people in this house."

There are many people in this house, and the relationships are complicated. In terms of closeness, Luo's aunt is naturally not at the top of the list. If Sima Chuyu comes back to visit Luo first, it will definitely cause unnecessary quarrels and lawsuits for Luo.

How could Luo Shi not understand this? She patted Chu Yu's hand and said with a smile: "You are a thoughtful child. How can my aunt not understand your heart?"

The two returned to the main room and sat down. The little maids presented them with fragrant tea and fruits. Sima Chuyu sighed and said, "Let me tell my aunt, I haven't been home for so many years, but I sincerely see each other in the whole house." The only person I know is my aunt."

She smiled bitterly and explained to Luo Shi: "When my father sent me to the palace cruelly, except for my two young and ignorant brothers, everyone in the family, including my grandmother who loved me, actually agreed with my father's move. , Auntie, you are the only one who considers my future, is willing to stand on my side, and can still speak for me."

Mentioning what happened back then, Luo couldn't help but feel sad. She sighed, "It's a pity that my aunt is just a woman. She has more than enough ambition but not enough power. She can't stop you from entering the palace." As she said, Luo Shi then comforted Chu Yu and said, "It's better now. The late emperor has gone and the Guo family is gone too. You can finally come back."

Chu Yu sighed: "That's it, how can I get back the happiness I lost?"

Hearing this, Luo Shi replied: "The old lady of the Duke of Jin's Mansion held a birthday banquet the day before yesterday. I went over to celebrate her birthday. While eating the banquet, I heard the female family members talking, saying that Zhou Jun's wife was seriously ill, and now she is terminally ill."

The Zhou Jun in Luo's mouth was the man that Sima Chuyu had longed for at the beginning.

As soon as Luo Shi finished speaking, he muttered awkwardly: "I said this as if I was hoping for something bad to happen to Mrs. Zhou, but alas, sometimes this matter of life and death is really beyond your control." Sima Chuyu replied. He said: "I understand what my aunt is thinking, but Zhou Lang and I have already changed. Even if someone really loses his wife, it is impossible for us."

Sima Chuyu smiled bitterly and said: "My life is over, so I hope that both my brothers can have a happy marriage. That's why my father prevented Chao'er from marrying Afu, so I endured the awkwardness and was willing to come forward."

Hearing this, Luo Shi suddenly said: "What do you think, brother suddenly changed his mind and agreed to Afu's entry? The relationship is because of you."

Chu Yu smiled, ordered someone to bring the betrothal gift list to Luo, and said, "I'm a little anxious about the wedding. Fortunately, Chao'er's betrothal gift has been prepared a long time ago. I added it yesterday as appropriate. It's better. Let's take a look. Is there anything wrong with it?"

When the Sima family marries their eldest daughter-in-law, the betrothal gift is naturally extremely generous.

Luo took the order, glanced at it briefly, and replied with a smile: "Miss, the preparations have been very thorough."

Sima Chuyu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Chao'er has always been in love with Ah Fu, and now he is getting married. He came to see me several times a day, for fear of wronging Ah Fu. Although the betrothal gift is decent, the time is short. , I am afraid that there will be something inappropriate in the process."

In troubled times, even the wealthy and powerful families are no longer as particular about marriage as they were in the heyday.

After hearing Chu Yu's words, Luo Shi smiled and replied: "Chao'er loves Ah Fu, and Ah Fu also has deep love for Chao'er. She won't care about these false gifts."

Chu Yu sighed: "Auntie is right, those etiquettes are only for outsiders to see. In comparison, marrying a successful husband is more important."

Chu Yu and Luo Shi got on well with each other, and they discussed the marriage between Sima Chao and Luo Fu. It was not until dusk that Luo Shi returned from Sima Chu Yu.

At this time, Sima Zhengren had returned from duty. He was sitting in the main room waiting for his wife. Finally, he was looking forward to his wife's return. Sima Zhengren couldn't help complaining: "You are finally back. I am so hungry from waiting." .”

Luo Shi said: "Then why don't you let them start eating? Since they are already hungry, what are you waiting for me to do?"

"Hurry up and serve the food." Before Luo Shi could say anything, Sima Zhengren ordered the servants.

Just as the servants were about to go down to do their business, Luo Shi said to them: "Just take the general's bowls and chopsticks. I have already used them at the eldest lady's place."

Sima Zhengren glanced at Luo Shi and said with an unhappy expression, "What's the matter? Have you already eaten?"

Luo Shi said to her husband apologetically: "I'm so sorry. If I had known you were waiting for me, I should have asked the girls to come back and say something."

Sima Zhengren looked deeply at his wife. Although he felt unhappy, he was not willing to blame her.
