I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Chapter 156: Relative 2 Speechless

"Forget it. If you don't want to tell me, I won't make things difficult for you. Just go back! We will send Big Sister to the palace tomorrow."

Shangguan Yue didn't waste any more words with the servants. Xiao He was Cheng Rui's man, so he would naturally not betray his master. Even if Cheng Rui's words were unpleasant, he would definitely not say it if he wanted Zeng Qian'er to go back.

Xiaobai couldn't enter the palace, but it would be easy for Xiaobai and the others to find out in this small mansion. Since Cheng Rui's words were unpleasant, his tone must have been loud, and many servants would have heard it. She could ask someone to inquire, or let Xiaobai and the others listen to what the servants said and they would know.

"Big sister, don't be angry. We will accompany you to the palace tomorrow and wait for you outside the palace gate. As for what Xiaohe is unwilling to say, I know it is definitely not something good. I will ask someone to check it out. It will be easy to find out."

Shangguan Yue hugged Zeng Qianer, oh! Such a gentle, considerate, lovely and kind beauty, but her husband doesn't cherish her at all, he is really blind.

"It's okay, second sister, little sister, I'm used to all this. Just bear with it and it will pass."

"What? You mean you've been living like this for all these years? This is not just a matter of endurance. You're not just in love, you seem to have been brainwashed by a cult!" Chen Bianbian exclaimed.

"My grandmother taught me this way since I was young, and I think the women in South Vietnam are all like this! They all say that if you can endure it, you should endure it, and if you can't endure it, you should grit your teeth and get through it. Moreover, many women also told me that my husband doesn't have concubines or mistresses, so I should be content."

Zeng Qian'er said quietly, only one knows the pain in one's heart. Although Cheng Rui has no concubine or mistress, what's the difference between his cold look and whether he has a concubine or not.

"Your brain has really been corrupted by those women. They tried to curry favor with you when they were in Lincheng, hoping that you would have a bad life. They were very happy to see that your husband was indifferent to you."

"Mom, don't say that. Those women are not necessarily bad. They just have different moral teachings. They all regard their husbands as the heaven and live by men. They depend on men all their lives, so they have to live according to men's moods and live a humble life.

And big sister, you are a rich lady, a lady of high family, while Cheng Rui is just a man from a poor family. You are marrying down and you don't have to depend on him to live. He even needs your help and arrangements to get by.

You two are not a good match. You can live well on your own. Why do you need to rely on him to survive? Don't lose yourself and your self-esteem. Your father and your brother will feel bad. His precious daughter didn't marry him to suffer, but to marry him to have someone to love her."

Shangguan Yue sighed. There are many things in ancient times that are worth learning from the feudal ethics, but men are superior to women and are deeply poisoned by these ethics. Women are humbled to the dust. It is sad and lamentable. Zeng Qianer has such a good family background that she still has a chance to compete, but what about those who have humble backgrounds?

"Little sister, second sister, thank you. Really, I feel much better now. My father and brother have also said the same thing. I am easily influenced by others. All the wives of officials and businessmen say the same thing, so I doubt myself again. Don't worry! I will be like you and think more about myself in the future."

Early the next morning, Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian accompanied Zeng Qianer to the palace.

Since Zeng Qian'er did not have an imperial decree, but was the legal wife, she wore a bright red dress, accessorized with ruby ​​pearl hairpins and golden tassel hairpins. She looked very bright and dazzling, and her pretty little face was like a blooming red plum.

Just after arriving at the palace gate, Cheng Rui's carriage also arrived. Carriages were not allowed into the palace, so Cheng Rui got off the carriage and saw the carriage from the general's mansion. He paused, remembering Xiaohe's hesitation when he came back yesterday.

Since Zeng Qian'er didn't come back with him, he knew that her temper had come back and was getting even worse. He sent people to ask her to come back but she didn't come back. Where did that put him as her husband? Where could he save his face?

If the emperor had not asked him to enter the palace with her, he would have entered the palace alone long ago. Her carriage had clearly arrived earlier than his, but she did not get off to wait for him. Did she want him to ask her to get off the carriage?

Shangguan Yue, Chen Bianbian and Zeng Qian'er all saw Cheng Rui coming, but this guy just got off the carriage and didn't come to help his wife get off. Why?

Chen Bianbian almost got angry again, but Shangguan Yue held her back, saying that they couldn't talk nonsense in front of the palace gate, lest they say too much.

Zeng Qianer knew that now was not the time to be upset, so she could only endure it and got off the carriage with the help of the coachman. She turned around and glanced at Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian in the carriage.

"Big sister, don't worry, don't care, just follow your heart and have a clear conscience. Come on! Pretty girl! I'm rooting for you!"

Shangguan Yue lifted the curtain with his left hand, pounded his chest with his right hand, and made an expression to Zeng Qianer.

"Puchi!" Zeng Qianer couldn't help but laugh.

Cheng Rui, who was ten feet away, was stunned by Zeng Qianer's smile. He felt strange. How long had it been since he saw her smile? She looked like this when she smiled. Very beautiful.

He had never seen her dressed like that before. No, it was a bright red dress. She must have worn it when he and she got married!

Thinking back to his marriage, the strange feeling that had just arisen in his mind disappeared completely. His father-in-law's displeasure, Zeng Zhongkai's threats and the sarcasm from other officials were all because he was only a small Jinshi and he would have to rely on them to have a future.

He has never relied on them, not in the past, not now, and not in the future.

Now that he is appreciated by the emperor, he will rise to a high position in the future. Those who once ridiculed him will eventually become like him. Let them experience it for themselves.

"Let's go!"

Cheng Rui didn't even look at Zeng Qianer again.

"Ah."

Zeng Qian'er no longer looked up at Cheng Rui, the sky that once existed in her heart.

The emperor had not yet left the court, and the two men were taken to a side hall. Outside the hall, they waited silently without saying a word.

An hour later, the emperor summoned Cheng Rui and Zeng Qianer in.

"Lord Cheng, I am very grateful to you for saving the princess two days ago. You held her in your arms and pressed on her after landing. You had physical contact with her. The princess has been trying to commit suicide these past two days. I am very worried. Lord Cheng, what do you think we should do?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't think of anything else when I saved her. I was just anxious to save her and didn't want to touch the princess. But saving her is impossible..."

Zeng Qian'er felt very upset. Cheng Rui had saved the princess without telling her. Sure enough, his sudden promotion must have been due to his contribution in saving the princess.

Now what the emperor means is that the princess feels depressed because she was hugged by someone. If she was really depressed, the emperor would not let others know, and would not personally summon him and her into the palace. The emperor has a purpose.

"Changping is crying and making a fuss about marrying you. Otherwise, she will die. I only have this one princess, how can I let her die? My dear, what do you think is the best solution?"

"Your Majesty, no, I promised my father-in-law that I would not take concubines or divorce my wife in this lifetime."
