Chapter 406 Asking Mother for a Favor
Chen thought about what Erlang said just now and became worried again. Her daughter was too beautiful, which was actually a problem. She had to put on makeup every day to cover it up.
Gu Fei turned around and called Erlang, "Second brother, take me back to the city."
Erlang hurried to the front yard to get a carriage. Chen held Gu Fei's hand and said, "Daughter, why don't you stay in that inn? Can't we hire a shopkeeper?"
Even if her daughter didn't admit it, she knew it in her heart. It was her daughter who caused the trouble just now. It would not be safe to stay in the inn every day in the future.
Gu Fei thought for a while, "Mom, I'll take a look. If it doesn't work, I'll hire a shopkeeper."
Gu Fei got on the carriage and went back to the city.
At this time, Xiao Yu just walked to the side door of the Qi Wang Mansion.
As luck would have it, he ran into Su Chen's carriage and was about to go in.
Su Chen opened the curtain when he heard the sound of horse hooves.
Xiao Yu was seen riding on a horse, his brows relaxed, with a faint smile on his lips, which was very different from Xiao Yu who always looked at people with his chin down.
The four words "smug and proud" appeared in Su Chen's mind. When he looked again, Su Chen clenched his fists suddenly. Xiao Yu was wearing a dark cloud-patterned brocade robe with a half-white gauze fan exposed on his chest.
You can also see the pink and white peach blossoms on the fan.
Isn't this the fan that Gu Fei took today?
Su Chen ate a lemon and asked with a sour feeling: "Brother Yu, where is she--"?
Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at Su Chen for two seconds, "I sent her home."
Su Chen knew that he was asking a superfluous question. Since his cousin had rescued her, she was naturally safe. But he would not feel at ease if he didn't ask.
After Xiao Yu answered, Zhao Ye passed by the carriage.
Su Chen put down the curtain and lowered his eyebrows.
After returning to his own courtyard, Su Chen sat in front of the window and began to grind ink.
Seeing the ink in the inkstone getting thicker and thicker, he spread out the paper, took a pen, and began to write a letter.
As if there was a fire burning in his heart, Su Chen wrote the letter in one go, sealed it, and called the servant, "Take it to the post station and send it to Xiqin County by express horse."
The servant responded and went out with the letter. Su Chen walked around the room for a few times and suddenly strode out.
When Su Chen arrived, Xiao Min was taking a nap.
The maid who was serving didn't know whether to go in and wake her up. After serving tea, she stood in the corner, looking at the door of the inner room from time to time, and looking at Su Chen from time to time.
Su Chen just sat there, as if he was very patient.
Until a soft voice came from the room, "Chun Ying--"
Chun Ying then opened the curtain and went in. While helping Xiao Min get up, she whispered, "The young master is here. He has been sitting for a long time. It seems that he has something to do."
"Ah" Xiao Min whispered, "Hurry up, call Xia Cao to come in and comb my hair."
Chun Ying opened the curtain and called "Xia Cao, Qiu Shuang--" The two maids went in together.
Su Chen put his hands on his knees and lowered his eyes to listen to the voice in the room.
"Xia Cao, comb a snake bun today."
"Chun Ying, where is the ruby lotus hairpin I bought the other day? Find it quickly, which one is suitable for the snake bun."
"Qiushuang, I want to wear the jacket with madder red damask. What skirt can you match it with?"
After a while, he heard again: "Where is my ruby lotus bracelet? That one is more suitable for the ruby lotus hairpin."
Su Chen listened for almost half an hour before Xiao Min came out of the room.
Su Chen bowed his head, "Mother."
Xiao Min sat up lazily and laughed, "Chen'er, how come you have time to come and see me today?"
Su Chen lowered his eyes, "My son came here to ask you for something."
