Chapter 298: pretend not to know
Chapter 298 Pretend not to know
Widow Qu was a little nervous at first, but she gradually got used to it, and she was very happy.
Where would I think, there will still be a day in this life when I turn over to the sky.
In the blink of an eye, eleven or twelve days passed before this stage was finished. Deng Shi, Zhao Liya and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
"It can be regarded as clean for a few days!"
Mrs. Deng talked and laughed with Widow Qu and the others, sighing inwardly. Compared with them, it seemed that she really liked Lingnan more and her previous life in Yancun, growing vegetables and raising chickens. They drop by, chat with each other, do needlework, and there are endless special dishes and fresh fruits
She thought that she would be satisfied when she returned to the capital, but unexpectedly, she felt even more empty in her heart.
Zhao Liya had just returned to her own courtyard, when the servant girl Chunxia who stayed in the courtyard greeted her, she smiled and said in a low voice: "Miss, Mr. Zhou has brought you something again."
Since Zhao Liya returned to Beijing, Zhou Hansheng was very sensible and didn't come to the house at this time because he was busy tidying up at home and entertaining guests from all walks of life.
This made Zhao Liya breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, she didn't have time to talk to him, and she didn't want him to show up in public and cause news for her family.
Too eye-catching.
Father and mother must also think so, they have never mentioned to anyone that they renewed their marriage with the prince of the Duke of Li. The guests are also considered to be interesting, knowing that their marriage is a minefield - after all, they have been divorced, so no one will mention it face to face.
But although Zhou Hansheng didn't come to the door, gifts were delivered to Zhao's house non-stop all day long.
Zhao Nan came quietly every day, and gave things to Chun Xia outside the back door of the Zhao Mansion. The various gadgets for food and play were not the same every day. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake and chestnut cake, and today are two pots of crabapple flowers in bloom.
Zhao Liya stretched out her hands to fiddle with the delicate and bright red crabapple flowers fluttering in the wind, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
Speaking of this matter, if you want to say that you are angry, Zhao Liya is not too angry, but more shocked. Since it was not his intention to withdraw the marriage, and it was not even his parents' intention, if Zhao Liya was angry with this anger and couldn't bear it, it would be a bit too much. .
These days, the lessons for him are enough.
So Zhao Liya said to Chunxia: "Someone will come to deliver things tomorrow, and you can ask me by the way, what is their master busy with every day!"
Chun Xia smiled and nodded: "Yes, Miss!"
She thought for a while, and couldn't help but said again: "Missy likes the crispy cheese made by our cook, maybe Mr. Zhou also likes it, do you want to tell the kitchen to make more tomorrow, and let Zhao Nan take it How about going back?"
Zhao Liya paused and shook her head: "No need!"
Chun Xia felt a little regretful, but she didn't insist on it any more, and said "yes" and let it go.
The next day, Chun Xia honestly brought the words as they were. After hearing this, Zhou Hansheng was naturally happy. His daughter-in-law should not be angry anymore. Look, she has taken the initiative to care about him.
So, in the afternoon, Zhou Hansheng came to the door.
Zhao Xiang was not in the mansion, Zhou Hansheng went to see Mrs. Deng first. Mrs. Deng was talking with Widow Qu, when she heard that Zhou Hansheng was here, she couldn't help but smile at each other.
Widow Qu smiled and said, "Master Zhou is finally here!"
Deng Shi also laughed: "This kid is caring and thoughtful. I misunderstood him before, but now I feel good."
Widow Qu said: "I've been looking at him for a long time, it's really rare to say that!"
Ms. Deng sighed with a smile, and nodded: "Who says it's not!" At this point, the slightest suspicion in my heart is gone.
Everything is easy to talk about when you are rich, but Zhou Hansheng chased to Lingnan when the Zhao family was in trouble. No matter what his plans were at that time, it was impossible to predict the future, and it was impossible to be sure that Zhao Xiang would return to Beijing one day.
Even if you return to Beijing, everything will not be all right. What happens after you return to Beijing is the most important thing.
As the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, it is impossible for Zhou Hansheng not to know this.
He once divorced Zhao Liya, and it is impossible not to know how outsiders might laugh at him now that the engagement is resumed, but he still does not change his original intention, and he is wholeheartedly devoted to their daughter, sending his servants to the back door every day to give her daughter presents —With this intention alone, few people can do it.
Zhou Hansheng paid his respects, and after a while, Zhao Liya also came.
As soon as she came, Zhou Hansheng's eyes couldn't help but stick to her, and he couldn't move away. She stared at her several times before he suddenly came back to his senses. He coughed as if to cover up, and looked away while drinking tea.
Mr. Deng and Widow Qu exchanged glances calmly, secretly amused.
After walking around Lingnan, Mrs. Deng has a big heart. As long as the general rules are good, she doesn't care about the details, otherwise she won't turn a blind eye and allow Zhou Hansheng to pretend to be sneaky. thing.
In fact, although Zhou Hansheng gave it away "secretly", he did not hide it from Deng and Zhao Xiang. On the contrary, he deliberately let them know. deliver.
The two children are engaged. If it is spring plowing and autumn harvest in Lingnan, a son-in-law like Zhou Hansheng should go to the father-in-law's mother-in-law's house to help out and perform well. Naturally, he and Zhao Liya have nothing to shy away from. It's normal to see each other during the day.
Deng smiled and said to Zhao Liya: "Mother and your aunt have something to discuss, you can take Han Sheng to the garden for a walk."
Zhao Liya glanced at her mother.
Zhou Hansheng got up quickly, and bowed to his mother-in-law: "Thank you, mother-in-law, I just have something to talk to Xiaoya about!"
Deng smiled: "Then let's go!"
"many."
Zhou Hansheng looked at Zhao Liya and smiled: "Let's go."
Zhao Liya nodded, let's go!
The garden of the Zhao Manor is not that big, but it is a time of year when the flowers and trees are sparse and the greenery is pleasing to the eye. The servants who followed were very knowledgeable, and their footsteps slowed down unknowingly, following them from a distance, and then simply stopped and did not leave .
Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng entered a pavilion next to a lotus pond built of rockery.
Zhou Hansheng smiled and said, "Are you not angry?"
Zhao Liya was a little bit angry, and gave him a look: "It's just this time, don't make another example! If there is a next time, I won't listen to any explanations!"
What she can't stand the most is deception.
In her opinion, there is not much difference between deceit and betrayal, and they can interpenetrate each other at any time.
She doesn't want to face one, two, and three changes.
Zhou Hansheng quickly swore: "Never again, really!"
