From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 211

Zhao Jianjia was restless and anxious for the whole morning.

She was afraid that Zhou Yuan would be angry, because she knew very well that it was normal for such an outstanding man like Zhou Yuan to have more women, but she made a scene and made him sleep in the study room all night.

But... what did I do wrong? I can't just let him do whatever he wants without any opinions. Wouldn't my home become a country of women in the future?

As a wife, I should manage the backyard well and have my own attitude on these things!

Didn't he just not get on the bed? Did he have to move out directly...

Zhao Jianjia felt more and more wronged the more she thought about it, and finally couldn't help shouting: "Come here! Come here!"

In the outer house, a guard clasped his fists and said: "What do you want, Madam?"

Zhao Jianjia said: "Hurry up and let Guan Lu come to see me, I want to inquire about something!"

After a while, Guan Lu hurried over, but he strictly followed the rules and did not enter the inner house. He just bowed at the door and said: "Hello, Madam, is there anything urgent?"

Zhao Jianjia said: "Tell me where Cai Ni is, I want to find her."

"This..."

Guan Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, the master has instructed that you can't let the outside things affect you."

Zhao Jianjia frowned and said, "What outside things? Sister Cai Ni is my friend. I want to go see her!"

Guan Lu said, "Okay, I will ask the master for instructions now."

"What instructions? Don't tell him!"

Zhao Jianjia hurriedly said, "Don't tell him. Tell me quickly. If you don't, I will go to the Northern Pacification Office to ask Master Wang Ang."

Guan Lu was helpless because Cai Ni was involved in the Wusheng Sect. He didn't dare to say it, but now it seemed that he had no choice.

After saying the location, Guan Lu hurriedly said, "Madam, if you want to go out, please take Miss Xiaoying with you."

Zhao Jianjia knew that the other party was based on safety considerations, so he nodded and went out with Xiaoying.

...

Cai Ni's residence is not difficult to find, but it is not easy to meet the top courtesan.

Zhao Jianjia also passed the message twice before Cai Ni heard it.

"Sister Jianjia!"

Cai Ni came out to greet him personally, obviously full of surprise. She didn't expect that after arriving in Shenjing, the first person to find her was not the young master, but Jianjia.

Zhao Jianjia said softly: "Sister Cai Ni, I am younger than you, how can I bear your name."

Cai Ni smiled and said: "Sister, you are joking. You are the young master's wife. I should call you sister anyway. It depends on whether you are willing to recognize me."

It's already like this, why would you not want to recognize me?

"Then I will be so arrogant as to call you sister."

Zhao Jianjia held Cai Ni's hand and whispered, "Good sister, sister is in trouble. I think you understand my husband better, so I came to ask you."

She told what happened last night and this morning, and finally said distressedly, "I know that my husband actually likes you and Ningyue more. I am indeed not as gentle as you and know how to please my husband's care. So in this situation, I want to ask my sister what I should do."

Cai Ni shook her head and sighed, "Sister, you misunderstood. The young master still loves you the most."

Zhao Jianjia's figure was shocked, but she reluctantly said, "How is it possible? The things I did before were not pleasing either."

"Sister, let's go out and talk, and stroll around the six lanes of North City."

She pulled Zhao Jianjia out, got on the carriage, and then continued.

"Sister, you are in the middle of the situation, so you are confused."

Cai Ni murmured, "My husband was born in a humble family, and his parents died early. I don't know how much hardship he has suffered to get to his current position."

"Sister is his first wife. It was arranged by our parents, the matchmaker, and the heaven and earth."

"My husband values ​​love and loyalty, how could he not like my sister?"

Zhao Jianjia said worriedly, "I have thought so before, but I can't convince myself. Cai Ni, you don't know that after my husband and I got married, we didn't have a wedding night, but made three rules."

"I am afraid that my husband will be very proud of me at that time. Although he agrees, he should still feel uncomfortable."

"At the Yunzhou Poetry Festival, my husband was worried about the crops. I don't understand his heart and can't support him. Ningyue still stands firmly on his side."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jianjia closed her eyes and her face turned pale.

She trembled and said, "After Ningyue's accident, I was really worried about her fate, and I insulted and even abused my husband."

"All of this may be caused by me."

She still shed tears uncontrollably, even when she was leaving, she forced herself not to be weak in front of Cai Ni.

But thinking of the past, she felt that her husband must still mind those things.

Cai Ni laughed and said, "Sister Jianjia, you worry too much. Did the young master make a fuss about the past?, so you blame your sister?"

Zhao Jianjia whispered: "Of course not."

Cai Ni said: "Did the young master bully your sister for this reason?"

"No."

Cai Ni smiled and said: "The young master is open and honest. Although he has strategies in his mind, he never uses his scheming on the people around him. If he really cares about the past, how can he keep it in his heart?"

"Besides, everything that happened to my sister before was not her fault. It was actually a rift. The rift was resolved. We are a couple who love each other in bed. How can there be any resentment in the past?"

Zhao Jianjia blushed, but did not refute. She just followed Cai Ni out of the carriage.

The six alleys were full of people, the streets were full of goods, and there were laughter and joy everywhere.

When you come here, people seem to be happier and will always be infected by everything around them.

Cai Ni smiled and whispered: "Who is the young master? Sister Jianjia has been with him the longest, don't you know him well?"

"He is very broad-minded, and will not get angry with people around him. Look at how unruly Guan Caixi was yesterday, and my husband just laughed it off."

"Such a man, how could he quarrel with my sister because of my little temper last night? In fact, he was busy with official business."

Being comforted like this, Zhao Jianjia's mood was indeed much better. She took Cai Ni's hand and said, "I think you still understand your husband."

But Cai Ni said, "Sister, it's just because you don't know Cai Ni's identity."

"Cai Ni is not only the most beautiful woman in the brothel, but also a demon girl of the Wusheng Sect. In terms of origin, Cai Ni can't compare with my sister in eight lifetimes."

"However, the young master has never disliked Cai Ni. Instead, he has sympathy and love for me. How could such a man do such a petty thing?"

"I am cared for by the young master, so I naturally know that he is good to us. ”

Zhao Jianjia lowered her head and sighed faintly: "I am too narrow-minded."

Cai Ni did not answer, but walked to a small stall and asked: "How much is this hairpin?"

The stall owner saw the two peerless beauties, and was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Ladies, my goods here are cheap and affordable, this hairpin only costs 500 coins."

Cai Ni smiled, bought the hairpin, and said: "Boss, how is the business since the renovation of Liuda Lane? Is it better than before?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, but scratched his head and said: "What are you talking about, girl? Liuda Lane used to be a gathering place for feces and urine, with a foul stench, and gangs bullied people. Let alone business, it was good to survive."

"Now, look here, the young men and women in the inner city come here to stroll. If you are in a hurry, there are public toilets to use."

"We ordinary people are living a much better life now. We can make money and no one bullies us. ”

Cai Ni said: "Then do you know Zhou Yuan?"

The boss glared and said: "Girl, who are you looking down on? Who in the whole North City doesn't know Mr. Zhou!"

"Mr. Zhou gave us food, kept us from being bullied, and changed the Six Alleys. He is the benefactor of us ordinary people. You ask me like this, aren't you just scolding me for being blind!"

Cai Ni was not angry, but asked several stall owners in a row, but the answers she got were all similar.

Until this time, she turned back to look at Zhao Jianjia and said softly: "Sister Jianjia, did you hear it? This is your husband, and this is what he is doing. "

"Change the world and save the people. "

"How can we make him upset because of a trivial matter? Although the young master doesn't mind, can we really do that? "

Zhao Jianjia's eyes were red, she wiped her tears and nodded, saying: "Thank you, Cai Ni, you made me understand a lot today."

Cai Ni shook her head and said: "Sister, this is not your fault, because you were born well."

"I am different. I know the taste of not having food to eat, and I know the pain of not having warm clothes, so I can feel what the young master is doing better."

Zhao Jianjia hugged Cai Ni and sobbed: "My dear sister, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what my husband is doing."

"Sister will know what to do in the future."
