good meal

Chapter 417
Chu Liangrao subconsciously moved closer to Huo Tainan, and nodded cautiously.

And the woman who behaved differently yelled twice, then showed a puzzled look, and then knelt on the futon again, chanting.

"Let's go." Huo Tainan urged again.

Chu Liangrao didn't delay any longer, and left the temple together with Huo Tainan.

Just as they were leaving, a teardrop rolled out of the eye of the woman who was still worshiping Buddha, and it fell into the futon and disappeared.

Chu Liangrao was very quiet along the way, she didn't chirp as usual, and she didn't know what was wrong with her, leaving like this seemed to miss something.

Seeing her like this, Huo Tainan didn't say a word to disturb her, but just accompanied her quietly.

There was no delay on the way, and the carriage arrived in front of the mansion in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the formerly bustling front gate had become deserted today, Chu Liangrao got out of the car and said to Huo Tainan, "It's really rare to be so leisurely."

I originally thought that I could steal half a day of leisure in Fusheng, making tea and practicing calligraphy in the bamboo hut, but it turned out to be counterproductive.

As soon as he sat down to drink a glass of water, someone came to tell him that Mrs. Cao brought her eldest daughter-in-law to visit.

Now the prime minister has not yet fallen, and Huo Tainan is inconvenient to receive female relatives, so Chu Liangrao can't slack off, and after ordering Madam Du to invite people to the hall, she changed her clothes before coming out to meet the guests.

After a pass, Mrs. Cao stood up and greeted with a smile: "I have seen the princess."

Chen Yue'er, who was following her, pouted, but still followed her to meet Li.

Chu Liangrao sat down, let them dry for a while, and then said gently: "There is no need to be polite, just sit down."

"Thank you Princess." Mrs. Cao straightened up without complaint, and she gave the eldest daughter-in-law a wink.

Chen Yue'er understood, although she was reluctant, she saluted and said, "Thank you Princess."

Chu Liangrao glanced lightly at Chen Yue'er, and saw that although she had a big belly, her face was thin, and there was a bit of hostility between her brows, which was totally different from the expression that a pregnant woman should have.

After taking a quick look, Chu Liangrao looked away.

And Chen Yue'er looked at Chu Liangrao calmly, and saw that she was wearing a lake blue embroidered jacket, with her hands clasped flat on her protruding belly, her face was peaceful and her appearance was so good that people couldn't help but forget it vulgar.

In line with the elegant clothes, the decoration on Chu Liangrao's head is also very simple, just use a straight beaded hairpin to embellish the black hair, making it more delicate and lovely.

On the other hand, Chen Yue'er had layers of rouge and gouache on her face, and she wore a lot of jewels and emeralds on her head. When she walked, she wore jingle rings, and she didn't know how many jewelry she was wearing on her hands.

On the other hand, Mrs. Cao was more low-key. She wore a round bun and only used a gold hairpin to fix it, looking very graceful.

The three of them looked at each other, Mrs. Cao opened her mouth first to break the deadlock, she said with a smile: "The princess looks pretty serious this month, but she's not much different from my daughter-in-law." As she spoke, she raised her eyes to Chen Yue'er , "This is really a coincidence."

After being glanced at by her mother-in-law, Chen Yue'er felt a little restless in her heart. She still remembered what Mrs. Cao explained before going out, but she was not happy in every possible way when she was asked to bow her head.

Chen Yue'er pursed her mouth and did not speak, Madam Cao sighed secretly, so she could only open her mouth: "Although my daughter-in-law has a bad temper, she has a very good heart. She accidentally offended the princess before, and she has been feeling sorry in her heart." , so I specially came to visit the Princess."

Knowing their reason for coming, Chu Liangrao smiled lightly and said, "It's over as long as it's over, why bother."

Seeing that what Chu Liangrao said calmly did not seem to be fake, Mrs. Cao relaxed a little bit of the stone in her heart, and her brows and eyes relaxed.

Just when she was about to bring up a serious matter, Chen Yue'er at the side spoke up: "Princess, in the temple that day, everyone knew what was right and what was wrong. Since you don't want to say it clearly, then I won't say it again." care about."

In this way, it seems that she tolerated Chu Liangrao's crimes.

Mrs. Cao's complexion changed, and she said in a low voice: "You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about in front of the princess?" As she spoke, she looked at Chu Liangrao apologetically, "It's all because I spoiled her. Her bad habits from her natal family have also been brought out, and there are a lot of princesses, so I hope you don't take it to heart."

At this moment, Chu Liangrao had no interest in responding, and only looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Cao felt even more embarrassed. She should have figured it out a long time ago, how could her daughter-in-law's temper be easy to get along with, and how could she trust the guarantee she made in the mansion?At that moment, Mrs. Cao wanted to let Chen Yue'er go back to the mansion first, and said: "Don't be afraid of the princess's jokes, my daughter-in-law's pregnancy is not as safe as the princess's, and it has been a while since she came out, I'm afraid she is not comfortable, I can't help it Shy face begging for grace, let her go back home first."

Seeing that Mrs. Cao wanted to drive her away, Chen Yue'er sneered and said to Mrs. Cao: "Mother-in-law, no matter how you say it, we came together. Even if we want to leave, we are going together. How dare my daughter-in-law go first?"

It was so disrespectful to Mrs. Cao.

Madam Cao smiled wryly, looking helpless.

As for the disharmony between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Chu Liangrao had no intention of intervening, and had no intention of talking to this pair of people who had their own thoughts, so he said to Mrs. Cao: "In this case, the princess will not keep you any longer." , go back to the house earlier, and have a look at your body." She didn't give Mrs. Cao a chance to explain, and directly ordered, "Mother Zhou, send the two of you."

If it was an ordinary family, it would be Mum Du and Ding Xiang who would send it off, and it would be because of Chu Liangrao's thoughtfulness that Ms Zhou would send it off.

Mrs. Cao couldn't help holding back her anger, she just felt that her daughter-in-law was really not good at handling things, so she had to leave immediately, and only hoped to visit again in the future.It's just that I missed this opportunity today, and I don't know when I will have the opportunity to be alone with the princess.

Zhou's mother sent the two of them away, and came back and said: "The princess is really wise, this Chen Yue'er walks lightly, walks carelessly, and refuses to go on the right path, but walks aside, she seems dishonest."

"I see." Chu Liangrao nodded slightly, and went to the bamboo house to talk to Huo Tainan about it.

Huo Tainan who was in the bamboo house heard the rustling outside, so he came out to greet him, and personally took Chu Liangrao in to sit down.

After Chu Liangrao said it, he thought for a while and said, "You don't have to take this matter to heart. As for the Cao family, they are not a great talent, and I'm afraid it won't be easy for a few days."

The things in the inner courtyard are similar to those in the imperial court, and Huo Tainan was able to figure it out at once because of his habit.

Chu Liangrao said: "When I look at her today, I feel a bit strange. Although she has a bulging belly, her cheeks are thin and her face is full of hostility. She doesn't look like she is pregnant."

Huo Tainan's expression was slightly cold, and he asked, "Do you suspect that she has a fake pregnancy?"
