Chapter 839: Untimely Heartbeat

Xiao Xuanzi calmly stepped back, thinking that it would be better for him to stay away from his father. Needless to say, the current scene made him angry!

Looking at the situation when he came in, he knew that everyone in the flower hall was forcing Miss Shao Wu. Xiao Xuanzi took a peek at the two ladies above. These two really dared to bully anyone, and they didn't even look at Shao Wu. The fifth young lady will now be under the control of her father!

"Your Majesty, there is actually nothing interesting to see in that courtyard. If Your Majesty wants to see it, of course you can!" The Madam's face was not very good. She could hear the unkindness in Chu Liuchen's words. The Madam was not stupid either. She just felt that this This situation is unlikely to occur, but what does it mean now? Is King Chen really interested in Shao Wanru?

"Then, can I please trouble Mrs. Xingguo's wife and Miss Shao Wu to take me to see it?" Chu Liuchen said with a smile, his smile was elegant, "But according to what I just said, Zhao Shangshu's mansion also wants to see this. Yard, why not come together?"

Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a moment, her face turned ugly, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I don't dare, please do it, Your Majesty!"

"It's not Mrs. Zhao's intention, but Miss Zhao's intention?" Chu Liuchen turned his eyes to Zhao Xiran who was standing beside him, his eyes becoming more and more sparkling.

Zhao Xiran lowered his head in panic, his heart beating wildly, half frightened and half ashamed, he hurriedly leaned over and replied: "My lord, I don't dare!"

"Mrs. Zhao, really don't you want to go and have a look together? I happen to have nothing to do today, so I can accompany the two ladies for a walk!" Chu Liuchen's eyes moved and fell on the two ladies who looked nervous. On the lady's body.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome!" The wife raised a smile and said stiffly.

"Your Majesty, our Zhao family does not have this intention. It is because the new house we planned to buy burned down last night. We want to choose another one in Xingguo Duke's palace. In fact, we have no intention of choosing the yard of Prince Xingguo." Mrs. Zhao said respectfully He said to Chu Liuchen, and then to Mrs. Tai.

"No one wants this kind of thing. Since it is burned down, please prepare another courtyard. Time is a bit tight. If this marriage is not done well, the next marriage of Miss Shao Wu will be too hasty. .”

What he said was sincere, very reasonable, and made people feel comfortable. Especially at the end, he praised Chu Liuchen.

Mrs. Zhao felt bitter in her heart. She really didn't know that His Highness King Chen would care about this marriage. When Mrs. Zhao discussed it with her before, she only said that the one they wanted to work together to deal with was Princess Ruian, forcing Princess Ruian to do so. The princess gave in and gave up the empty Quhuan Courtyard.

Unexpectedly, King Chen would be brought out.

Zhao Shangshu is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He occasionally mentions King Chen when he returns home. Mrs. Zhao knows very well that this Highness is highly regarded by the Emperor and the Queen Mother, much higher than the other princes. Sometimes Zhao Shangshu even mentions him. To put it vaguely, if His Highness King Chen's health recovers, it is not certain who will pass the throne to him in the future.

Mrs. Zhao originally didn't even care. I heard that the prince had been in poor health and it was not certain whether he could live for a few more years. Now that I saw his highness, although he looked sicker than ordinary people, he basically had nothing serious. The influence of Mrs. Zhao, who also wholeheartedly protected Miss Shao Wu, made Mrs. Zhao very upset.

I really want to reconsider my relationship with Duke Xingguo.

If the marriage between the two houses had not been completed, and it happened to be before the marriage between Shao Wanru and His Highness Prince Chen, if something went wrong in their marriage, it might eventually affect His Highness Prince Chen's marriage. Mrs. Zhao's regrets about the marriage All.

Will the position of the heir apparent really fall to Shao Huaan? Originally, an important factor in the engagement between the two families was that Shao Hua'an would become the eldest son of Duke Xingguo and would become Duke Xingguo in the future.

From the very beginning, Duke Xingguo’s wife mentioned this matter repeatedly, and she was very sure of it. At that time, Duke Xingguo had no other opponents. No one cared much about Shao Yuanhao, the son of the former crown prince of Xingguo Duke. On the one hand, He is still young, and on the other hand, he is ineffective, completely inferior to Shao Huaan.

But later, because of Shao Wanru's incident, the marriage was postponed for three years. In the end, it was discovered that Shao Wanru's intervention did not change the matter in principle, so the marriage was settled between the two houses. Later, due to Shao Wanru and Chu Liuchen had a tight schedule for their marriage, so their marriage was also advanced.

But even so, Mrs. Zhao didn't care much. In the Xingguo Duke's mansion, Miss Shao Wu had no power at all, and she was still an unmarried girl. Even if she got married in the future, she would only serve the seriously ill. King Chen, how can he have time to take care of the affairs of Duke Xingguo?

Another point is that as a married woman, how much power does she have to manage the inheritance of her mother's family? At most, she can only talk on the side and cannot make the decision.

But in the current situation, Mrs. Zhao felt that she never expected that she really wanted to regret her marriage.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zhao, this matter will be done immediately. Today, we will choose a good courtyard as a new house and make every effort to decorate the couple's room. As for the furniture sent by your house, we will also make up for it. It will definitely make your house happy." Satisfied!" The Madam also knew that there was nothing to gain from today's matter. She stiffly pulled a smile on her face and tried her best to handle the matter well.

"That's good, let's say goodbye first!" Mrs. Zhao couldn't stay any longer, so she said goodbye to Mrs. Zhao, then saluted Chu Liuchen and walked out with Zhao Xiran.

Chu Liuchen didn't stop him, and watched them leave with a smile. As soon as the people from Zhao Shangshu's mansion left, he turned to the madam and asked, "Madam, can we go take a look?"

"Your Highness, King Chen, please!" The wife had to smile. His Highness, King Chen, wanted to see it. This was being said to her, so she could only accompany him.

The madam went, Shao Wanru followed, and of course Shao Caihuan came with her, and the whole group went to Quhuan Courtyard.

When they arrived at the Quhuan Courtyard, the words on the huge shadow wall were still there. Shao Wanru stood in front of the shadow wall, looking at the words written on it. He raised his head and looked down at the words one by one, looking at his eyes. Turned slightly red.

The words of her father were right in front of her eyes, but the figure in her memory was far away from her, and she could hardly remember it. It was originally a memory from her childhood, but because she had been reborn once, it became even further apart. Now she looks at it again When I saw his words, it suddenly became clear again.

Biting her lip, she suppressed the grief in her heart, but her eyes couldn't help but contain a trace of sadness. Her father, in the last life, she never had the chance to see his figure or the traces of his life until her death. , all of this was ruthlessly buried by the Xingguo Palace, including the lives of himself and his relatives.

"Mrs. Tai, this courtyard owned by the former prince is really nice!" Chu Liuchen's voice came to his ears, with a hint of a smile. Shao Wanru looked sideways and saw that he was talking to Mrs. Tai, so he did not respond.

At this time, she was in a bad mood and was not in the mood to answer. It was best that Chu Liuchen didn't ask her.

"This was originally the best courtyard in the entire Duke Xingguo's mansion. It was for the boss to live at that time. I thought... I didn't expect that the boss would end up like that in the end. After he lost his temper and went out... he was... just outside... In the end, he even lost his life!”

When the wife saw this wall of shadows, she also thought of her eldest son. She felt sad for a moment and her voice became choked with sobs.

"Is it okay that the courtyard where Duke Xingguo lives now doesn't have this?" Chu Liuchen didn't seem to notice the abnormality of Mrs. Tai, and continued to ask with his head raised.

"The yard where the second brother lives now is also pretty good!" The wife had to hold back her sadness and replied as she gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Shao Jing now lives in the courtyard where the Dukes of Xingguo have lived in past dynasties. How can it be bad? The lady dare not hide this kind of thing.

"There is such a courtyard. Madam, can you let me see it? There are also several empty courtyards in my palace. In the future, there will also be a courtyard for the inheritance of the prince. One is the courtyard where I live, and the courtyard of Xingguo Duke's palace. The layout is good, I can refer to it! ”

Chu Liuchen walked around the screen wall twice and asked the lady with a smile. His attitude was so kind and peaceful. Shao Caihuan stared at Chu Liuchen closely, looking at Chu Liuchen as if he had stepped out of an ink painting. He behaves and looks like a handsome nobleman, and his heart is beating wildly!

She had originally had thoughts about Chu Liuchen, but now she was even more passionate. If she could marry such a person, even if she was a concubine or concubine by his side, it would be much better than being with Prince Qing. The warmth in her heart It was so hot that the temperature on his face also burned.

She kept trying to get in the middle of the conversation, but she couldn't. When she heard Chu Liuchen's words, she immediately said, "Grandma, I just have nothing to do, so I can accompany Prince Chen to visit the second uncle's yard!"

After speaking, she lowered her head shyly, her face flushed with a brilliant blush, but her face was still covered by a gauze, so it was hard to tell that her face was blushing and shy.

After hearing her words of inviting Ying, the wife became even more angry. Seeing Shao Caihuan's shy look, she became even more angry and wanted to slap Shao Caihuan to wake her up. Such words were coming from a young lady from aristocratic family who had not yet left the palace. What should I say? Besides, there was Shao Wanru who was more suitable than her. Shao Wanru was the most suitable person to accompany Chu Liuchen. They got married two months later, so even if it was a little rude, it wouldn't be a big deal.

What does Shao Caihuan mean? Could it be that he has a crush on His Highness King Chen? The madam only thought it was extremely ridiculous!

"What does Mrs. Tai mean?" Chu Liuchen glanced at Shao Wanru, who was still immersed in sadness, and said slowly, but the smile on his face slowly disappeared, his handsome eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a chill. Overflowing from his handsome face, there was an evil aura that was hard to ignore.

He was facing the Madam, and Shao Caihuan was behind him. She happened to not see that his expression had changed, and he was still immersed in the beautiful hope. She was really willing to take Chu Liuchen to see it!

The Madam looked up at Chu Liuchen's cold face and knew that something was wrong. Shao Caihuan had offended His Highness, but inexplicably, a thought that made her heart beat suddenly flashed into her heart...
